The weighted average yield of the Company’s total debt and income producing investments at amortized cost and fair value was 10.9% and 11.3%, respectively, versus 11.3% and 12.1%, respectively, as of September 30, 2018.5
On a fair value basis, as of December 31, 2018, 96.6% of the Company’s debt investments bore interest at a floating rate.6
As of December 31, 2018, the weighted average net debt/EBITDA of the companies in the Company’s investment portfolio was 5.6x versus 5.3x as of September 30, 2018. The weighted average interest coverage of companies comprising interest-bearing investments in the investment portfolio was 2.2x which was unchanged versus the prior quarter. The median EBITDA of the portfolio companies was $26.9 million versus $36.5 million as of September 30, 2018.7
In December 2018, one of the Company’s portfolio companies, NTS Communications, Inc. (“NTS”), entered into a sale transaction pursuant to which the Company agreed to receive a cash payment of approximately $55.5 million, depending on certain factors. Including the total life to date cash payments received by the Company from NTS, the total cash proceeds upon the closing of the transaction would be approximately $65.7 million, representing a greater than 1.3x multiple on the Company’s initial investment. The Company placed its first lien, last-out unitranche debt investment in NTS on non-accrual status pending the closing of this transaction which is expected to occur during the second quarter ending June 30, 2019, subject to customary approvals, including Federal Communications Commission (FCC) review.
In addition, during the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company placed its investment in ASC Acquisition Holdings, LLC’s (“ASC”) second lien debt on non-accrual status. Effective February 22, 2019, the Company entered into certain agreements with the new parent company of the operating subsidiaries of ASC whereby the Company invested $19.0 million and exchanged its second lien debt and first lien, last-out unitranche debt for preferred and common equity. The transaction resulted in a realized loss of approximately $24.8 million on the second lien debt investment relative to the Company’s amortized cost basis. As a result of these agreements, the Company’s investment in ASC was taken off of non-accrual status effective February 22, 2019.
As of December 31, 2018, investments on non-accrual status represented 7.0% and 8.3% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. The Company’s second lien debt investment in ASC represented 2.9% and 3.8% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. As described above, this investment was taken off on non-accrual status effective February 22, 2019. The Company’s first lien, last-out unitranche debt investment in NTS, which is expected to be repaid in the second quarter of 2019 as described above, represented 3.5% and 3.9% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. Excluding these investments, non-accruals represented 0.6% of the total investment portfolio at both fair value and amortized cost.
The Company’s investment in the SCF produced a return of 11.2% and 11.4%, at amortized cost and fair value, respectively, over the trailing four quarters ended December 31, 2018.8 The SCF’s investment portfolio had an aggregate fair value of $451.8 million, comprised of investments in 32 portfolio companies operating across 20 different industries. The SCF’s investment portfolio on a fair value basis was comprised of 100.0% secured debt investments (94.9% in first lien debt, 1.7% in first lien last-out unitranche debt and 3.4% in second lien debt). As of December 31, 2018, all of the investments in the SCF were debt investments bearing a floating interest rate.
As of December 31, 2018, the weighted average net debt/EBITDA and interest coverage of the companies in the SCF investment portfolio were 4.8x and 2.4x, respectively. The median EBITDA of the SCF’s portfolio companies was $52.7 million.9 As of December 31, 2018, the SCF had one investment on non-accrual status.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 was $36.0 million and $38.0 million, respectively. The decrease in investment income over the quarter was primarily driven by certain additional investments being placed on non-accrual status during the quarter. The $36.0 million of total investment income was comprised of $34.6 million from interest income, original issue discount accretion, payment-in-kind income and dividend income, $0.6 million from other income and $0.8 million from prepayment related income.10
Total expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 were $13.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The $3.0 million decrease in expenses was primarily driven by a decrease in incentive fees, and was partially offset by an increase in interest and other debt expenses. The $13.0 million of total expenses was comprised of $7.9 million of interest and other debt expenses, $3.4 million of management fees, and $1.7 million of other operating expenses.
Net investment income after taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $22.4 million, or $0.56 per share, compared with $21.6 million, or $0.54 per share per share for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

ENDNOTES
1 The $0.45 per share dividend is payable on April 15, 2019
to holders of record as of March 29, 2019.
2 The
discussion of the investment portfolio of both the Company and the SCF
excludes their respective investment in a money market fund managed by
an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
3 There
can be no assurance that the liquidation of the Senior Credit Fund and
related transactions will be effectuated, and such transactions will
remain subject to any requisite approvals.
4 Total debt
outstanding excluding netting of debt issuance costs of $5.3 million and
$5.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018 and September 30,
2018.
5 Computed based on the (a) annual actual interest
rate or yield earned plus amortization of fees and discounts on the
performing debt and other income producing investments as of the
reporting date, divided by (b) the total performing debt and other
income producing investments (excluding investments on non-accrual) at
amortized cost or fair value, respectively. This calculation excludes
exit fees that are receivable upon repayment of the loan.
6 The
fixed versus floating composition has been calculated as a percentage of
performing debt investments, including income producing stock
investments and excludes investments, if any, placed on non-accrual.
7
For a particular portfolio company, we calculate the level of
contractual indebtedness net of cash (“net debt”) owed by the portfolio
company and compare that amount to measures of cash flow available to
service the net debt. To calculate net debt, we include debt that is
both senior and pari passu to the tranche of debt owned by us but
exclude debt that is legally and contractually subordinated in ranking
to the debt owned by us. We believe this calculation method assists in
describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as it takes into
consideration contractual rights of repayment of the tranche of debt
owned by us relative to other senior and junior creditors of a portfolio
company. We typically calculate cash flow available for debt service at
a portfolio company by taking net income before net interest expense,
income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the
trailing twelve month period. Weighted average net debt to EBITDA is
weighted based on the fair value of our debt investments, including our
exposure to underlying debt investments in the SCF and excluding
investments where net debt to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure
of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that
are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.
For a
particular portfolio company, we also calculate the level of contractual
interest expense owed by the portfolio company, and compare that amount
to EBITDA (“interest coverage ratio”). We believe this calculation
method assists in describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as
it takes into consideration contractual interest obligations of the
portfolio company. Weighted average interest coverage is weighted based
on the fair value of our performing debt investments, including our
exposure to underlying debt investments in the SCF and excluding
investments where interest coverage may not be the appropriate measure
of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that
are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.
Median
EBITDA is based on our debt investments, including our exposure to
underlying debt investments in the SCF and excluding investments where
net debt to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk,
such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten
and covenanted based on recurring revenue.
Portfolio company
statistics are derived from the financial statements most recently
provided to us of each portfolio company as of the reported end date.
Statistics of the portfolio companies have not been independently
verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. As of
December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, investments where net debt to
EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk represented
18.3% and 15.5%, respectively, of total debt investments, including our
investment in the SCF, at fair value. Portfolio company statistics are
derived from the financial statements most recently available to us of
each portfolio company as of the respective reported end date. Portfolio
company statistics have not been independently verified by us and may
reflect a normalized or adjusted amount.
8 Computed
based on the net investment income earned from the SCF for the trailing
twelve months ended December 31, 2018, which may include dividend income
and loan origination and structuring fees, divided by GS BDC’s average
member’s equity at cost and fair value, adjusted for equity
contributions.
9 For a particular portfolio company of
the SCF, we calculate the level of net debt owed by the portfolio
company, and compare that amount to measures of cash flow available to
service the net debt. To calculate net debt, we include debt that is
both senior and pari passu to the tranche of debt owned by the SCF, but
exclude debt that is legally and contractually subordinated in ranking
to the debt owned by the Senior Credit Fund. We believe this calculation
method assists in describing the risk of the SCF’s portfolio
investments, as it takes into consideration contractual rights of
repayment of the tranche of debt owned by the SCF relative to other
senior and junior creditors of a portfolio company. We typically
calculate cash flow available for debt service at a portfolio company by
taking EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period. For a particular
portfolio company of the SCF, we also calculate the interest coverage
ratio. We believe this calculation method assists in describing the risk
of the SCF’s portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration
contractual interest obligations of the portfolio company. Median EBITDA
is based on the SCF’s debt investments. Portfolio company statistics are
derived from the financial statements most recently available to us of
each portfolio company of the SCF as of the respective reported end
date. Statistics of the SCF’s portfolio companies have not been
independently verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted
amount.
10 Interest income excludes prepayment premiums,
accelerated accretion of upfront loan origination fees and unamortized
discounts. Prepayment related income includes prepayment premiums and
accelerated accretion of upfront loan origination fees and unamortized
discounts.
11 Debt outstanding denominated in currencies
other than U.S. Dollars (“USD”) have been converted to USD using
applicable foreign currency exchange rate as of December 31, 2018.
12
The average debt to equity leverage ratio has been calculated
using the average daily borrowings during the quarter divided by average
net assets, adjusted for equity contributions. The ending and average
debt to equity leverage ratios exclude unfunded commitments.
