NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Alcentra Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: ABDC) ("Alcentra" or the "Company"), a provider of customized debt and equity financing solutions primarily to lower middle-market companies based in the United States, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Second Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights
Management Commentary
"We had another good quarter with net investment income exceeding 40 cents per share for two consecutive quarters.
Originations in the second quarter improved from the first quarter consistent with an improved M&A climate for lower middle market companies. We closed four new deals in the quarter representing $34.75 million of invested capital, thus representing a moderate increase in assets under management for the quarter. We continue to see attractive opportunities to deploy capital in growth companies across a variety of industry sectors.
Two significant events occurred within the last four weeks that will help us achieve our strategic objectives, which have been to reduce the level of PIK interest and equity in the portfolio.
The sale of City Carting to Tunnel Hill Partners has allowed us to consolidate City Carting into a much larger waste management platform with a deeper management team and broader geographic focus. The transaction also reduces the level of PIK income in the portfolio.
On August 1, 2016, our notes and warrants in DBI Holdings were repaid including the Holding Company PIK Note. We realized a gain on our warrant of $9.7 million.
The sale of City Carting and repayment of our loan to DBI has eliminated the two largest components of PIK income in the portfolio. It also reduces the equity exposure in our portfolio, and positions us favorably to redeploy that capital into new debt investments. We would expect this portfolio dynamic to continue for the next several quarters, allowing continued growth in net investment income.
Lastly, we continued to repurchase common stock over the last few weeks and will continue to do so selectively under our existing program as market conditions dictate."
Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, total investment income was $10.6 million. This is an increase from the same period in the prior year mainly due to an increase of investments in the portfolio as well as fees associated with repayments.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, total expenses were $4.7 million.
