Management Commentary
“Inclusive of the two new loan originations totaling $9.25 million that closed in the fourth quarter, we finished the fiscal year completing $41.1 million in new loan originations. This activity plus the recent $3.25 million loan to GEE, brings our investment portfolio closer to full deployment at current liquidity levels. We intend to remain selective with our remaining investment capacity,” said John Stuart, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Full Circle Capital Corp. “To support the expansion of our investment portfolio, we recently added to our investment team a senior investment professional with strong experience in our targeted market. Our flexible uni-tranche lending solutions continue to be attractive to growth companies in our target market of lower and smaller middle market companies.
“Our investment strategy to invest in first lien senior secured loans to smaller and lower middle-market companies with a significant level of risk protection and a desirable yield supports consistently strong portfolio metrics. First lien senior secured loans comprise 93% of our portfolio supported by a strong loan-to-value ratio of 62%. The yield on the portfolio remains approximately 13%. Floating rate loans account for 92% of our portfolio, which we believe to be among the top tier of the BDC universe, positioning us well for any eventual rise in interest rates.”
