1 On September 16, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Golub Capital Investment Corporation ("GCIC"). The merger was accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, where the consideration paid to GCIC's stockholders exceeded the relative fair values of the assets acquired, the premium paid by the Company was allocated to the cost of the GCIC assets acquired by the Company pro-rata based on their relative fair value. Immediately following the acquisition of GCIC, the Company recorded its assets at their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase premium allocated to the cost basis of the GCIC assets acquired was immediately recognized as unrealized depreciation on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase premium allocated to investments in loan securities acquired from GCIC will amortize over the life of the loans through interest income with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on such loans acquired through their ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to investments in equity securities will not amortize over the life of the equity securities through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the GCIC equity securities acquired and disposition of such equity securities at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation upon disposition of the GCIC equity securities acquired.
As a supplement to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measures, the Company is providing the following non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful for the reasons described below:
- "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share" – excludes the amortization of the purchase premium from net investment income calculated in accordance with GAAP.
- "Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee" - Adjusted Net Investment Income excluding the accrual or reversal for the capital gain incentive fee required under GAAP;
- "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)" and "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share" – excludes the unrealized loss resulting from the purchase premium write-down and the corresponding reversal of the unrealized loss from the amortization of the premium from the determination of realized and unrealized gain/(loss) in accordance with GAAP.
- "Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)" and "Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share" – calculates net income and earnings per share based on Adjusted Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss).
The Company believes that excluding the financial impact of the purchase premium write down in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors as it is a non-cash expense/loss resulting from the acquisition of GCIC and is one method the Company uses to measure its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company believes excluding the accrual of the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP is useful as a portion of such accrual is not contractually payable under the terms of the Company's investment advisory agreement with GC Advisors.
First Fiscal Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Net investment income per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $0.49 as compared to $0.49 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Excluding $0.01 per share in purchase premium amortization from the GCIC acquisition and no accrual or reversal for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP, Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $0.50. This compares to Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee1 of $0.50 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 when excluding $0.01 per share in purchase premium amortization from the GCIC acquisition and no accrual or reversal for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP.
- Net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $(0.04). Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share1 was $(0.05) when excluding the $0.01 per share net reversal of unrealized depreciation and realized loss resulting from the amortization of the purchase premium. The Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Per Share1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to unrealized depreciation resulting from modest credit migration in our portfolio that was partially offset by net realized gains recognized driven by the sale of an equity investment. For additional analysis, please refer to the Quarter Ended 12.31.2023 Earnings Presentation available on the Investor Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations. The Earnings Presentation was also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Form 8-K. These results compare to net realized and unrealized loss per share of $0.11 during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Loss Per Share1 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $0.10 when excluding the $0.01 per share net reversal of unrealized depreciation and realized loss resulting from the amortization of the purchase premium.
- Earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $0.45 as compared to $0.60 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted Earnings Per Share1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $0.45 as compared to $0.60 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
- Net asset value per share increased to $15.03 at December 31, 2023 from $15.02 at September 30, 2023.
- On December 15, 2023 we paid a supplemental distribution of $0.07 per share and on December 29, 2023 we paid a quarterly distribution of $0.37 per share.
- Based on the earnings power of the Company and the previously announced waiver by GC Advisors that resulted in new incentive fee rates, on January 16, 2024, GBDC's board of directors increased GBDC's quarterly base distribution by over 5% and declared a quarterly distribution of $0.39 per share, which is payable on March 29, 2024, to stockholders of record as of March 1, 2024.
- On February 2, 2024, our board of directors declared a supplemental distribution of $0.07 per share, which is payable on March 15, 2024 to stockholders of record as of February 15, 2024. For additional details on the framework we intend to use for determining the amount of supplemental distributions going forward, please refer to the Quarter Ended 12.31.2023 Earnings Presentation available on the Investor Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations.
- During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Golub Capital Employee Grant Program Rabbi Trust (the "Trust") purchased approximately $2.8 million, or 191,547 shares, of our common stock for the purpose of awarding incentive compensation to employees of Golub Capital.

Total investments in portfolio companies at fair value were $5,443.4 million at December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, total assets were $5,699.9 million, net assets were $2,563.9 million and net asset value per share was $15.03.
Consolidated Results of Operations
For the first fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company reported GAAP net income and Adjusted Net Income1 of $75.8 million or $0.45 per share. GAAP net investment income was $83.5 million or $0.49 per share and Adjusted Net Investment Income Before Accrual for Capital Gain Incentive Fee1 was $85.2 million or $0.50 per share. GAAP net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) was ($7.7) million or ($0.04) per share and Adjusted Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)1 was ($9.4) million or ($0.05) per share.
Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to various factors, including the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.
1 See footnote 1 to 'Selected Financial Highlights' above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity and capital resources are derived from the Company's debt securitizations (also known as collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs), unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities and cash flow from operations. The Company's primary uses of funds from operations include investments in portfolio companies and payment of fees and other expenses that the Company incurs. The Company has used, and expects to continue to use, its debt securitizations, unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities, proceeds from its investment portfolio and proceeds from offerings of its securities and its dividend reinvestment plan to finance its investment objectives.
As of December 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies of $76.7 million, restricted cash and cash equivalents of $96.8 million and $3,084.1 million of debt outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $1,167.8 million of remaining availability, in the aggregate, on our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, we had $100.0 million of remaining commitments and availability on our unsecured line of credit with GC Advisors.
On December 5, 2023, we issued $450.0 million of unsecured notes, which bear a fixed interest rate of 7.050% (yield to maturity of 7.310%) and mature on December 5, 2028 (the "2028 Notes").
On February 1, 2024, we issued $600.0 million of unsecured notes, which bear a fixed interest rate of 6.000% (yield to maturity of 6.248%) and mature on July 15, 2029 (the "2029 Notes").
Portfolio and Asset Quality
GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of the Company's investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors' internal performance ratings:
|
|
|
Internal Performance Ratings |
||
Rating |
|
Definition |
5 |
|
Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable. |
4 |
|
Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable. |
3 |
|
Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower could be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due. |
2 |
|
Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due). |
1 |
|
Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered. |
Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments. For additional analysis on the Company's internal performance ratings as of December 31, 2023, please refer to the Quarter Ended 12.31.2023 Earnings Presentation available on Investors Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations.
