We believe that the strength of the Company’s unique investment strategy – which focuses on acyclical "defensive growth" companies that are well researched by New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. ("New Mountain"), a leading alternative investment firm, is underscored by continued stable credit performance. The Company has had only seven portfolio companies, representing approximately $112 million of the cost of all investments made since inception in October 2008, or approximately 2.1% of $5.3 billion, go on non-accrual.
Robert A. Hamwee, CEO, commented: "The fourth quarter represented another solid quarter of performance for NMFC. We originated $190 million of investments and once again had no new investments placed on non-accrual. Additionally, over the last twelve months, we are pleased to have maintained a steady portfolio yield while increasing book value."
"As managers and as significant stockholders personally, we are pleased with the completion of another successful quarter and year," added Steven B. Klinsky, NMFC Chairman. "We have continued to build New Mountain as a firm and team, and now employ over 130 individuals and have substantially added to the team over the past year. We believe New Mountain’s focus on team building and acyclical “defensive growth” industries continues to be a successful strategy."

Consolidated Results of Operations
Quarterly Results
The Company’s total investment income and total adjusted investment income4 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $53.3 million and $43.8 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s total investment income and total adjusted investment income4 consisted of approximately $37.4 million5 and $36.3 million5 in cash interest income from investments, respectively, approximately $1.8 million and $1.5 million in payment-in-kind ("PIK") and non-cash interest income from investments, respectively, prepayment penalties of approximately $1.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, net amortization of purchase premiums/discounts of approximately $2.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, PIK and non-cash dividend income of approximately $6.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and approximately $3.5 million and $3.3 million in other income, respectively.
The Company's total net expenses after income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $26.6 million and $20.8 million, respectively. Total net expenses after income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 consisted of approximately $10.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of costs associated with the Company's borrowings and approximately $13.8 million and $11.6 million, respectively, in net management and incentive fees. Since the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"), the base management fee calculation has deducted the borrowings under the New Mountain Finance SPV Funding, L.L.C. credit facility (the "SLF Credit Facility"). The SLF Credit Facility had historically consisted of primarily lower yielding assets at higher advance rates. As part of an amendment to the Company’s existing credit facilities with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the SLF Credit Facility merged with and into the New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. credit facility (the "Holdings Credit Facility") on December 18, 2014. Post credit facility merger and to be consistent with the methodology since the IPO, New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. (the "Investment Adviser") will continue to waive management fees on the leverage associated with those assets that share the same underlying yield characteristics with investments that were leveraged under the legacy SLF Credit Facility, which as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled approximately $281.2 million and $297.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, management fees waived were approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Investment Adviser cannot recoup management fees that the Investment Advisor has previously waived. The Company’s net direct and indirect professional, administrative, other general and administrative and income tax expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded approximately $0.1 million and ($18.9) million of net realized gains and adjusted net realized losses, respectively, and $0.5 million and $30.0 million of net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and adjusted net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and securities purchased under collateralized agreements to resell, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, provision for taxes was approximately ($0.4) million and ($0.2) million, respectively, related to differences between the computation of income for United States ("U.S.") federal income tax purposes as compared to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

Additionally, the Company had $150.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding as of December 31, 2017.
Portfolio and Asset Quality
The Company puts its largest emphasis on risk control and credit performance. On a quarterly basis, or more frequently if deemed necessary, the Company formally rates each portfolio investment on a scale of one to four. Each investment is assigned an initial rating of a "2" under the assumption that the investment is performing materially in-line with expectations. Any investment performing materially below our expectations would be downgraded from the "2" rating to a "3" or a "4" rating, based on the deterioration of the investment. An investment rating of a "4" could be moved to non-accrual status, and the final development could be an actual realization of a loss through a restructuring or impaired sale.
As of December 31, 2017, one portfolio company had an investment rating of "4". The Company’s investment in this portfolio company had an aggregate cost basis of approximately $0.1 million and an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.4 million.
Recent Developments
The Company had approximately $205.7 million of originations and commitments since the end of the fourth quarter through February 26, 2018. This was offset by approximately $76.3 million of repayments during the same period.
On January 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Commitment Increase Agreement (the "Commitment Agreement") related to the NMFC Credit Facility. The Commitment Agreement increases the total commitments under the NMFC Credit Facility from $122.5 million to $150.0 million from existing lenders in accordance with the accordion feature of the NMFC Credit Facility.
On January 30, 2018, the Company entered into a second supplement (the "Supplement") to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated September 30, 2016 (the "NPA"). Pursuant to the Supplement, on January 30, 2018, the Company issued to certain institutional investors identified therein, in a private placement, $90.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.87% Series 2018A Notes due January 30, 2023 (the "2018A Unsecured Notes") as an additional series of notes under the NPA. Except as set forth in the Supplement, the 2018A Unsecured Notes have the same terms as the $90.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.313% Notes due May 15, 2021 and the $55.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 4.76% Series 2017A Notes due July 15, 2022 (collectively, the "Prior Notes") that the Company previously issued pursuant to the NPA and the first supplement thereto, respectively. The 2018A Unsecured Notes will rank equal in priority with the Company’s other unsecured indebtedness, including the Prior Notes. Interest on the 2018A Unsecured Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2018.
On February 21, 2018, the Company’s board of directors declared a first quarter 2018 distribution of $0.34 per share payable on March 29, 2018 to holders of record as of March 15, 2018.
On February 27, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 3 (the "Amendment") to the NMFC Credit Facility. The Amendment extends the term of the NMFC Credit Facility from the existing maturity date of June 4, 2019 to June 4, 2022. After June 4, 2019, the capacity under the NMFC Credit Facility will be reduced from the existing amount of $150.0 million to $135.0 million.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating its business, NMFC considers and uses adjusted investment income as a measure of its operating performance. Adjusted investment income is defined as investment income adjusted to reflect income as if the cost basis of investments held at NMFC’s IPO date had stepped-up to fair market value as of the IPO date. Under GAAP, NMFC’s IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the predecessor operating company’s existing investments to fair market value. Since the total value of the predecessor operating company’s investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the investments’ cost basis, a larger amount of amortization of purchase or issue discount, and different amounts in realized gains and unrealized appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if a step-up had occurred. For purposes of the incentive fee calculation, NMFC adjusts income as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO (or stepped-up to fair market value).
The term adjusted investment income is not defined under GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted investment income has limitations as an analytical tool and, when assessing NMFC's operating performance, and that of its portfolio companies, investors should not consider adjusted investment income in isolation, or as a substitute for investment income, or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Among other things, adjusted investment income does not reflect NMFC’s, or its portfolio companies’, actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than NMFC, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools.

| 2 | References to “YTM at Cost” assume the accruing investments in our portfolio as of a certain date, the "Portfolio Date", are purchased at cost on that date and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. This calculation excludes the impact of existing leverage. YTM at Cost uses the LIBOR curves at each quarter’s respective end date. The actual yield to maturity may be higher or lower due to the future selection of LIBOR contracts by the individual companies in the Company’s portfolio or other factors. | |
