New York, NY — November 8, 2013—Apollo Investment Corporation (NASDAQ: AINV) or the “Company,” or “Apollo Investment,” today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company’s net investment income was $0.22 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to $0.25 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) was $8.30 per share as of September 30, 2013, up from $8.16 at June 30, 2013.
Additionally, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.20 per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2014, payable on January 6, 2014 to stockholders of record as of December 19, 2013. The specific tax characteristics of this dividend will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year.
Mr. James Zelter, Apollo Investment Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “For the September quarter, we reported healthy net investment income and a meaningful increase in net asset value. Given the strength in the credit markets throughout the period, we monetized select assets with minimal impact to the overall portfolio yield.” Mr. Zelter continued, “We also continued to improve our capital structure by lowering the pricing, extending the maturity, and increasing the size of our revolving credit facility.”
