NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MidCap Financial Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:MFIC) or the "Company," today announced financial results for its quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The Company's net investment income was $0.40 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0.44 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company's net asset value ("NAV") was $14.98 per share as of December 31, 2024, compared to $15.10 as of September 30, 2024.
On February 21, 2025, the Board declared a dividend of $0.38 per share payable on March 27, 2025 to stockholders of record as of March 11, 2025.
Mr. Tanner Powell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In the December quarter, we generated solid net investment income despite a modest amount of fee income and the impact of lower base rates. The vast majority of our portfolio is performing well and we are observing stability in certain credit metrics." Mr. Powell continued, "MFIC is fortunate to have access to the significant volume of loans originated by MidCap Financial, a leading middle market lender managed by an affiliate of Apollo, which we believe provides MFIC with a significant deal sourcing advantage. While our market remains competitive, we observed a modest increase in spreads on new commitments compared to the previous quarter, at what we believe to be attractive leverage entry points. We took advantage of strength in the liquid credit markets to continue selling certain assets acquired from our recently completed mergers with Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund, Inc. and Apollo Tactical Income Fund, Inc. and prudently deployed proceeds from these sales, along with the investment capacity generated from the mergers, into first lien floating rate middle market loans originated by MidCap Financial. We have a clear and straightforward plan to gradually increase leverage over the coming quarters and we believe MFIC's future results are well-positioned to benefit as we re-lever back to our target level."
Mr. Gregory W. Hunt, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are pleased to announce MFIC closed its second on balance sheet CLO transaction earlier this week. This CLO transaction adds attractive term-based financing at what we believe to be among the tightest levels achieved for a middle market CLO, reflecting the high quality of the underlying loans. MFIC significantly benefited from MidCap Financial and Apollo Global's expertise in CLO management and structuring."
