PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
During the third quarter of 2019, OFS Capital closed $25.5 million of senior secured debt investments in four new portfolio companies. In addition, we made $13.4 million of new senior secured debt investments in existing portfolio companies and a $2.4 million investment in a new structured finance note.
The total fair value of OFS Capital’s investment portfolio was $502.2 million at September 30, 2019, which was equal to approximately 96% of amortized cost. As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of OFS Capital's debt investment portfolio totaled $437.9 million in 67 portfolio companies, of which 90% and 10% were senior secured loans and subordinated loans, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, we also held approximately $42.0 million in equity investments, at fair value, in 14 portfolio companies in which we also held debt investments, as well as six portfolio companies in which we solely held an equity investment. As of September 30, 2019, our investment portfolio also included four investments in structured finance notes with a fair value of $22.2 million. We had unfunded commitments of $4.7 million to four portfolio companies at September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, floating rate loans as a percentage of fair value comprised 90% of OFS Capital’s debt investment portfolio, with the remaining 10% in fixed rate loans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income
Investment Income
Interest income increased by $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to a $3.2 million increase caused by an approximately $104 million increase in the average outstanding performing loan balance offset, in part, by a $0.4 million decrease resulting from a 33 basis point decrease in the recurring earned yield on our portfolio. We recognized fee income of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to $0.2 million of prepayment fees and $0.1 million of syndication fees resulting from the $17.0 million in loan originations during the period in which OFS Capital Management, LLC sourced, structured, and arranged the lending group, and for which we were additionally compensated.
Expenses
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $2.1 over the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the issuance of $48.5 million in unsecured notes in October 2018, borrowings under the BNP credit facility during the third quarter of 2019, as well as an increase in the average dollar amount of borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Pacific Western Bank.
Management fee
Management fee expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.5 million over the corresponding period in the prior year due to an increase in our average total assets, resulting primarily from the deployment of the $98.5 million from the issuance of unsecured notes during April and October 2018 and the deployment of $46.7 million from the BNP credit facility.
Incentive fee
Incentive fee expense remained stable for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 as net investment income did not significantly change compared to the corresponding period.
Administration fee
Administration fee expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.1 million over the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in our allocable portion of OFS Services’s overhead.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments
We recognized net losses of $4.0 million on senior secured debt during the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of unrealized depreciation of $4.1 million on Constellis Holdings, LLC and $0.8 million on MAI Holdings, Inc., offset by unrealized appreciation of $0.6 million on TRS Services, LLC.
We recognized net losses of $0.9 million on subordinated debt during the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of unrealized depreciation of $0.9 million on Online Tech Stores, LLC.
We recognized net gains of $2.4 million on preferred equity investments for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of unrealized appreciation of $2.9 million on TRS Services, LLC Class A units, offset by unrealized depreciation of $0.5 million on Contract Datascan Series A units.
We recognized net gains of $0.8 million on common equity and warrant investments for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of unrealized appreciation of $1.3 million on Pfanstiehl Holdings, Inc. and $0.9 million on Professional Pipe Holdings, LLC, offset by unrealized depreciation of $1.5 million on MTE Holdings Corporation.
We recognized unrealized depreciation of $1.4 million on structured finance notes for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of unrealized depreciation due to net negative impact of mark-to-market adjustments in the third quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2019, we had $8.0 million in cash, which includes cash of $4.0 million held by our wholly owned small business investment company OFS SBIC I, LP ("SBIC I LP"). Our use of cash held by SBIC I LP is restricted by SBA regulation, including limitations on the amount of cash SBIC I LP can distribute to OFS Capital as parent company. As of September 30, 2019, we had $29.2 million available for additional borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Pacific Western Bank, as well as an unused commitment of $103.4 million under our BNP revolving credit facility.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Registered unsecured bond offering
In October and November 2019, we closed the public offering of $54.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.95% notes due 2026 (the "Unsecured Notes Due October 2026"), which included a partial exercise of the underwriters overallotment option. The total net proceeds to us from the Unsecured Notes Due October 2026, after deducting underwriting discounts of approximately $1.7 million and estimated offering expenses of $0.3 million, were approximately $52.3 million. The Unsecured Notes Due October 2026 will mature on October 31, 2026 and bear an effective interest rate, including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, of 6.48%. Because the Unsecured Notes Due October 2026 are not secured by any of our assets, they are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured unsubordinated indebtedness (or any indebtedness that is initially unsecured as to which we subsequently grant a security interest), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including, without limitation, borrowings under the PWB Credit Facility. The Unsecured Notes Due October 2026 may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after October 31, 2021 at the redemption price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture governing the Unsecured Notes Due October 2026 contain covenants substantially identical to the Unsecured Notes.
