PHILADELPHIA, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK), a leading publicly traded business development company focused on providing customized credit solutions to private middle market U.S. companies, announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. FSK also announced the issuance of $250 million of unsecured notes, an amendment of its senior secured revolving credit facility, and that its board of directors has declared a second quarter 2020 distribution totaling $0.15 per share.
Financial and Operating Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020(1)
- Net investment income of $0.19 per share, compared to $0.18 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2019
- Total net realized and unrealized loss of $1.59 per share, compared to a total net realized and unrealized gain of $0.01 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2019
- Paid cash distributions to stockholders totaling $0.19 per share(2)
- Total purchases of $1,296 million versus $914 million of sales and repayments
- Net asset value of $6.09 per share, compared to $7.64 per share as of December 31, 2019
- On April 13, 2020, FSK completed its previously announced $200 million share repurchase program. During the period from January 1 to March 31, 2020, FSK repurchased 8.9 million shares at an average price of $4.45 per share. During the period from April 1 to April 13, 2020, FSK repurchased 2.3 million shares at an average price of $3.16 per share.
Commenting on the quarter, CEO and Chairman, Michael C. Forman, stated, "The first quarter of 2020 was an extraordinary time in the operating and financial world as companies of all sizes experienced the far-reaching impacts of COVID-19. The FS KKR team has responded by working closely with our portfolio companies, accessing capital to maintain our strong liquidity position, and amending our financing agreements to enhance our operating cushion during this period of increased volatility. After giving effect to our recently completed unsecured notes offering, we have approximately $1.2 billion of available liquidity to support our existing portfolio companies and to take advantage of new investment opportunities. While this is a difficult time for everyone, we are taking the appropriate steps to operate in the current environment and thereafter."
$250 Million Unsecured Bond Offering
On April 30, 2020, FSK closed an issuance of $250 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes. The notes will mature on May 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 8.625% per year, subject to certain adjustments, payable semi-annually. Subject to a two-year non-call period, the notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at FSK's option at any time or from time to time at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes. FSK intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to refinance existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
The 8.625% unsecured notes were offered to persons that FSK reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Amendment
On May 5, 2020, FSK amended its senior secured revolving credit facility to, among other things, amend certain financial covenants. As part of these amendments, FSK reset the minimum shareholders' equity covenant to reference shareholders' equity as of March 31, 2020, rather than November 7, 2019 (the facility restatement closing date). The amendments provide FSK with enhanced operating flexibility.
$350 Million FSK-Franchise Co-Investment Vehicle
Certain affiliates of the owners of FSK's investment adviser, FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, have committed $100 million to a $350 million investment vehicle that may invest from time to time in shares of FSK and its affiliate, FS KKR Capital Corp. II (FSK II).
Declaration of Distribution for Second Quarter 2020
FSK's board of directors has declared a cash distribution for the second quarter of $0.15 per share, which will be paid on or about July 2, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 17, 2020.
