Certain Information About Distributions

 

The determination of the tax attributes of FSIC’s distributions is made annually as of the end of its fiscal year based upon its taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. FSIC intends to update stockholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

 

The timing and amount of any future distributions on FSIC’s shares of common stock are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of its board of directors. There can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions, including the special distribution referenced herein.

 

FSIC may fund its cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including proceeds from the sale of shares of FSIC’s common stock, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets and dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. FSIC has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. There can be no assurance that FSIC will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). FSIC uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing FSIC’s financial results with other BDCs.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with FSIC’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures1

 

   Three Months Ended 
   June 30, 2017   March 31, 2017   June 30, 2016 
GAAP net investment income per share  $0.19   $0.22   $0.23 
Plus capital gains incentive fees per share            
Plus excise taxes per share            
Plus one-time expenses per share           0.00 
Adjusted net investment income per share2  $0.19   $0.22   $0.24 

 

 

1)

Per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares of FSIC’s common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Per share numbers may not sum due to rounding.

   
2) Adjusted net investment income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net investment income is presented for all periods as GAAP net investment income excluding (i) the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee for realized and unrealized gains; (ii) excise taxes; and (iii) certain non-recurring operating expenses that are one-time in nature and are not representative of ongoing operating expenses incurred during FSIC’s normal course of business (referred to herein as one-time expenses). FSIC uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other business development companies. 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. A reconciliation of GAAP net investment income to adjusted net investment income can be found above.
   
3) The per share data for distributions reflects the amount of distributions paid per share of our common stock to stockholders of record during each applicable period.
   
4)

See FSIC’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2017 for a description of FSIC’s investment strategies.

   
5)

Gross portfolio yield represents the expected annualized yield of FSIC’s investment portfolio based on the composition of the portfolio as of the applicable date. FSIC’s estimated gross portfolio yield may be higher than an investor’s yield on an investment in shares of FSIC’s common stock because it does not reflect sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of such shares, or operating expenses that may be incurred by FSIC. FSIC’s estimated gross portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment return to stockholders, is subject to change and, in the future, may be greater or less than the rates set forth herein.

   

6)

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. See FSIC’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2017 for a description of FSIC’s revenue recognition policy.
