Gladstone Capital Overview
Background:
Gladstone Capital was founded in 2001 as one of the first business development companies (BDC) focused on making
loans to lower middle market U.S. businesses ($3-15MM of EBITDA) and today the investment team remains dedicated
to the BDC's activities
Gladstone Capital is funded through publicly traded common stock (Nasdaq: GLAD) and is leveraged via various
senior unsecured note issues and a bank revolving credit facility
Managed by Gladstone Management Corporation, an SEC registered investment adviser that manages in excess of $4.0
billion in assets across four publicly traded yield-oriented funds with significant insider equity holdings and a history
of shareholder friendly actions in support of investor fund distributions
Investment Strategy:
-
Target current yield investments in growth-oriented companies with revenue visibility and proven cashflows where
capital flexibility is highly valued to support the achievement of the company's growth plan
Growth equity valuations support greater equity contributions reducing the debt risk profile (lower LTV) and near
term growth provides visibility to organic deleveraging and multiple repayment options
Majority of investments are backed by private equity sponsors, which provide institutional governance, strategic sector
insight, experience managing leveraged capital structures and additional investment capacity support
Leverage seasoned origination team to source, structure and pro-actively manage investments to mitigate losses
Investment Profile (as of June 30, 2023):
$715 million portfolio at fair value diversified across 52 companies and 12 different industries
Conservative asset mix with 91% of investments in secured loans, 75% in lower risk 1st lien loans and weighted
average leverage across core proprietary loan portfolio of ~3.5x EBITDA while generating an attractive weighted
average portfolio yield of 13.6%
Modestly leveraged capital base (1.04:1.00 debt/equity) has generated net investment income (NII) yield on net asset
value of 11.2% for the last four quarters and currently supports annual cash distribution of $0.99/share
