NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2015 /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 third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Third Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights
Management Commentary
"Our third quarter results demonstrate our focus on managing the portfolio for yield at a time when capital is relatively fixed. The yield on new investments has been higher than the yield on redeemed investments for the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Net originations were moderately up, but we had a few deals close in the first week after the close of the quarter which could have easily closed in the September period.
We have previously stated that the M&A market would benefit our portfolio, and we have seen that in the announced sale of HealthFusion to Quality Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: "QSII") for $165 million of cash consideration plus potential additional contingent consideration of up to $25 million. HealthFusion is a privately held developer of web-based cloud computing software for physicians, hospitals and medical billing services.
In addition, Cologix, Inc. announced the purchase of Net Access LLC in a transaction expected to close before year-end. The sale of Net Access will produce a gain on our investment and allow us to reduce the equity weighting in the portfolio towards our stated goal of 10% - 15%.
We expect more M&A activity to occur in our portfolio over the next six-to nine months".
(1) Supplemental information regarding adjusted net investment income:
On a supplemental basis, we provide information relating to adjusted net investment income, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net investment income. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income excluding any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The management agreement with our advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to cumulative realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized losses. In addition, we accrue, but do not pay, a capital gains incentive fee in connection with any unrealized capital appreciation, as appropriate. As such, we believe that adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains incentive fee expense or (reversal) attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of net investment income to adjusted net investment income are set forth in Schedule 1.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, total investment income was $8.507 million. This is flat from last quarter mainly due to timing of repayments and deployment of capital.

Subsequent Events
Fourth Quarter 2015 Dividend of $0.34 Per Share Declared

Alcentra has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when the Company declares a cash dividend, stockholders who have not "opted out" of the DRIP at least three days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock. Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.
