“The fourth quarter of 2012 capped an excellent year for American Capital,” said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “For the year, NOI totaled $397 million, American Capital Asset Management appreciated $329 million, previously depreciated assets recovered approximately $325 million of net value, and the net value of our remaining portfolio of private finance companies grew by approximately $75 million, resulting in $1.1 billion in net earnings. These earnings were 14% higher than our prior best in 2010. Our NAV grew $3.97 per share to $17.84 per share as of December 31, 2012, increasing an impressive 29% for the year. We also originated $719 million of new investments, which we believe will generate attractive returns for our shareholders. Additionally, our highly accretive stock repurchase program continues to be an important enhancement to shareholder value.”

PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, net unrealized appreciation, before income taxes, totaled $61 million. The primary components of the net unrealized appreciation were:

$50 million net unrealized appreciation in American Capital's investment in European Capital, primarily due to a strengthening of the Euro and an increase in the NAV of European Capital.
ü The Company's equity investment in European Capital was valued at $700 million as of December 31, 2012, or 75% of NAV, compared to $651 million as of September 30, 2012, or 75% of NAV;
$5 million net unrealized appreciation from American Capital's structured products investments, generally as a result of improved projected cash flows; and
$2 million net unrealized appreciation from American Capital's private finance portfolio.

“In 2012, we experienced $1.5 billion of liquidity in our portfolio at excellent valuations which coupled with our cash flows from operations allowed us to continue to execute on our balance sheet management strategies,” said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer. “With net debt of $304 million compared to equity of $5,429 million, our balance sheet is outstanding. In fact, our net debt is now about the amount of the liquidity we generate on average in a quarter. Looking forward to 2013, we believe that our liquidity can be invested in new assets at attractive returns and in repurchasing our shares.  We remain laser focused on maximizing shareholder value.”

PORTFOLIO REALIZATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
In the fourth quarter of 2012, $634 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments. American Capital made $527 million in new committed investments during the quarter. The weighted average effective interest rate on American Capital's debt investments as of December 31, 2012 was 11.4%, 30 basis points higher than the September 30, 2012 rate of 11.1% and 70 basis points higher than the December 31, 2011 rate of 10.7%. As of December 31, 2012, loans with a fair value of $177 million were on non-accrual, representing 9.0% of total loans at fair value, compared to $252 million fair value of non-accrual loans, or 12.5% of total loans at fair value as of September 30, 2012. The $75 million decrease in the fair value of loans on non-accrual was generally driven by loans removed from non-accrual status as a result of improved company performance.

“We are extremely pleased with the two One Stop Buyouts® and six new Sponsor Finance investments we completed during the fourth quarter of 2012,” said Darin Winn, Senior Vice President and Senior Managing Director.  “Collectively, we committed more than a half a billion dollars in the fourth quarter of 2012. We believe that our two One Stop Buyouts® are synergistic with our existing Health Care Products and Services segment and energy investments and we will continue to seek One Stop Buyouts® in 2013.”

STOCK REPURCHASE AND DIVIDEND PROGRAM
During the third quarter of 2011, American Capital's Board of Directors adopted a program that may provide for repurchases of shares or dividend payments through December 31, 2013. Under the program, American Capital will consider quarterly setting an amount to be utilized for stock repurchases or dividends.  Generally, the amount may be utilized for repurchases if the price of American Capital's common stock represents a discount to the NAV of its shares, and the amount may be utilized for the payment of cash dividends if the price of American Capital's common stock represents a premium to the NAV of its shares.  

In determining the quarterly amount for repurchases or dividends, the Company's Board will be guided by the Company's cumulative net cash provided by operating activities in the prior quarter and since the beginning of 2012, cumulative repurchases or dividends, cash on hand, debt service considerations, investment plans, forecasts of financial liquidity and economic conditions, operational issues and the then current trading price of American Capital stock.

The repurchase and dividend program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.  The program does not obligate American Capital to acquire any specific number of shares, and all repurchases will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. During the fourth quarter of 2012, American Capital made open market purchases of 8.8 million shares, or $103 million, of American Capital common stock at an average price of $11.72 per share. Since the inception of the program, American Capital has made open market purchases of 52.4 million shares, or $495 million, of American Capital common stock at an average price of $9.46 per share.
