During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, MCG made $95.1 million of advances and originations, including $54.0 million in investments to six new portfolio companies. Payoffs and portfolio monetization activities totaled $129.2 million during the quarter.

Record date: June 15, 2011

Payable date: July 15, 2011

OVERVIEW

Today, MCG reported a first quarter 2011 net loss of $8.8 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, which represented a $14.8 million, or $0.20 per share, decrease from the net income of $6.0 million, or $0.08 per share, reported for the comparable period in 2010. This decrease resulted primarily from an $18.6 million increase in MCG’s net investment loss and a $0.8 million increase in the loss on extinguishment of debt, partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in net operating income.

MCG’s revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $24.3 million, which represented a $2.6 million, or 11.8%, increase from the comparable period in 2010. This increase was composed of a $1.8 million increase in interest and dividend income, including a $1.2 million increase in dividend income on existing investments and a $0.6 million increase in interest income, which resulted from an increase in the Company’s average portfolio balance. In addition, advisory fees increased $0.7 million during the first quarter of 2011 as a result of origination activity over the first quarter of 2010. MCG reported DNOI of

$13.6 million, or $0.18 per share, which represented a $4.0 million, or $0.05 per share, increase over the first quarter of 2010. Net operating income during the first quarter of 2011 was $13.0 million, which represents a $4.6 million, or 54.1%, increase over the comparable period in 2010.

“Overall we are pleased with the volume of first quarter originations, the level of equity monetizations during the quarter and after quarter-end, the increase in our first quarter net operating income and distributable net operating income, and the repositioning of low-yielding assets. Based on our results, we will be increasing our dividend to $0.17 per share for the first quarter,” said Steven Tunney, President and CEO. “This is our fourth consecutive quarterly dividend increase since we reinstated our dividend in April 2010. We remain focused on our strategy of monetizing low-yielding investments and redeploying proceeds and balance sheet cash into new investments to grow operating income and distributions to our stockholders.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2011, MCG’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $40.6 million and it had $527.3 million of borrowings (the majority of which was composed of $443.6 million of collateralized non-recourse borrowings). As a business development company, MCG is required to meet an asset coverage ratio of total net assets to total borrowings and other senior securities of at least 200% in order to borrow under new or existing borrowing facilities or to distribute dividends to its stockholders. MCG’s asset coverage ratio increased from 231% as of December 31, 2010 to 233% as of March 31, 2011. The cash balance in the securitization and restricted accounts, which may be deployed for suitable new investment opportunities, was $92.5 million as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, MCG had $45.0 million in available incremental capacity under its 2006-1 facility, subject to facility requirements. In addition, MCG had $6.0 million of funded borrowing capacity, subject to the United States Small Business Administration’s, or SBA’s, approval, available in its small business investment company, or SBIC, subsidiary that effectively is exempt from the statutory asset coverage ratio requirements.

As of March 31, 2011, the total borrowing potential under the SBA license with Solutions Capital I, L.P. is $150.0 million. To access the entire $150.0 million borrowing potential, MCG would have to fund $25.4 million, in addition to the $49.6 million that it had funded through March 31, 2011. Additionally, in March 2011, the Company formed another wholly owned subsidiary, Solutions Capital II, L.P. The Company received approval from the SBA to submit an application for a second SBIC license under Solutions Capital II, L.P. If approved, the total borrowing capacity under both SBICs would increase from $150.0 million to $225.0 million in the aggregate.

During the first quarter of 2011, MCG repaid in full the remaining $17.4 million of Series 2005-A unsecured notes. The notes carried an interest rate of 9.98% and had a maturity date of October 2011. The Series 2007-A unsecured notes due October 2012 remain outstanding with a balance of $8.7 million.

PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY

The fair value of MCG’s investment portfolio totaled $954.3 million as of March 31, 2011, as compared to $1,009.7 million as of December 31, 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, MCG made $95.1 million of originations and advances, including $54.0 million of originations to six new portfolio companies, $35.8 million of originations and advances to 13 existing portfolio companies under revolving and line of credit facilities, and $5.3 million of paid-in-kind, or PIK, advances. The $54.0 million of originations to new portfolio companies, included $25 million of senior debt investments and $29.0 million in subordinated debt investments. The $35.8 million of originations and advances to existing portfolio companies included $35.3 million of investments in senior debt securities and a total of $0.5 million of preferred and common equity in two portfolio companies. Gross payments, reductions and sales of securities during the first quarter of 2011 of $129.2 million were composed of $73.2 million of senior debt, $37.6 million of secured subordinated debt, $18.2 million of preferred equity and $0.2 million of common equity.

The decrease in the fair value of Broadview is primarily attributable to a decrease in the multiples used to value that investment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, MCG received payments of $2.1 million on the sale of Active Brands International, Inc., or Active Brands, senior debt and wrote off the Company’s equity in that portfolio company. In conjunction with the Active Brands transaction, MCG reversed $27.8 million of previously unrealized depreciation and realized a $27.7 million loss.

(a) 

DNOI represents net operating income before net investment loss, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and income tax provision (benefit), as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, adjusted for amortization of employee restricted stock awards. MCG views DNOI and the related per share measures as useful and appropriate supplements to net operating income, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share and cash flows from operating activities. These measures serve as an additional measure of MCG’s operating performance exclusive of employee restricted stock amortization, which represents an expense of the Company but does not require settlement in cash. DNOI does include PIK interest and dividend income which are generally not payable in cash on a regular basis, but rather at investment maturity or when declared. DNOI should not be considered as an alternative to net operating income, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share and cash flows from operating activities (each computed in accordance with GAAP). Instead, DNOI should be reviewed in connection with net operating income, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share and cash flows from operating activities in MCG’s consolidated financial statements, to help analyze how MCG’s business is performing.

(b) 

On May 5, 2011, MCG’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.17 per share payable on July 15, 2011 to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2011.

(a) 

MCG uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor its expected level of returns on each investment in MCG’s portfolio. MCG uses the following 1 to 5 investment rating scale:

 

Investment
Rating

     
1    Capital gain expected or realized
2    Full return of principal and interest or dividend expected with customer performing in accordance with plan
3    Full return of principal and interest or dividend expected but customer requires closer monitoring
4    Some loss of interest or dividend expected but still expecting an overall positive internal rate of return on the investment
5    Loss of interest or dividend and some loss of principal investment expected which would result in an overall negative internal rate of return on the investment

 

(b) 

As of March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, approximately, $207 million, $205 million, $117 million, $112 million and $119 million, respectively, of MCG’s investments with an investment rating of “1” represented loans to companies in which MCG also held equity.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT NON-GAAP REFERENCES

References by MCG Capital Corporation to distributable net operating income, or DNOI, refer to net operating income before net investment loss, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and income tax provision (benefit), as determined in accordance with GAAP adjusted for amortization of employee restricted stock awards.

The Company’s management uses DNOI and the related per share measures as useful and appropriate supplements to net operating income, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share and cash flows from operating activities. These measures serve as an additional measure of MCG’s operating performance exclusive of employee restricted stock amortization, which represents an expense of the Company but does not require settlement in cash. DNOI does include PIK, interest and dividend income that generally are not payable in cash on a regular basis, but rather at investment maturity or when declared.

The Company believes that providing non-GAAP DNOI and DNOI per share affords investors a view of results that may be more easily compared to peer companies and enables investors to consider the Company’s results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis in periods when the Company is undertaking non-recurring activities. DNOI should not be considered as an alternative to, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or as a substitute for net operating income, net (loss) income, earnings (loss) per share and cash flows from operating activities (each computed in accordance with GAAP). Instead, DNOI should be reviewed in connection with net operating income, net (loss) income, earnings (loss) per share and cash flows from operating activities in MCG’s consolidated financial statements, to help analyze how MCG’s business is performing because the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Therefore, management uses, and investors should use, non-GAAP measures only in conjunction with its reported GAAP results.
