Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.,

the Financial Statements of New Mountain Finance Corporation and the Financial Statements

of New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation

 

June 30, 2013

(in thousands, except units/shares and per unit/share data)

(unaudited)

 

The information in these combined notes to the financial statements relates to each of the three separate registrants: New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C., New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (collectively, the “Companies”). Information that relates to an individual registrant will be specifically referenced by the respective company. None of the Companies makes any representation as to the information related solely to the other registrants other than itself.

 

Note 1. Formation and Business Purpose

 

New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. (the “Operating Company” or the “Master Fund”) is a Delaware limited liability company. The Operating Company is externally managed and has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As such, the Operating Company is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. The Operating Company intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes for so long as it has at least two members.

 

The Operating Company is externally managed by New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. (the “Investment Adviser”). New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for operations. The Investment Adviser and Administrator are wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Mountain Capital (defined as New Mountain Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates). New Mountain Capital is a firm with a track record of investing in the middle market and with assets under management (which includes amounts committed, not all of which have been drawn down and invested to date) totaling more than $9.0 billion as of June 30, 2013. New Mountain Capital focuses on investing in defensive growth companies across its private equity, public equity, and credit investment vehicles. The Operating Company, formerly known as New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C., was originally formed as a subsidiary of New Mountain Guardian AIV, L.P. (“Guardian AIV”) by New Mountain Capital in October 2008. Guardian AIV was formed through an allocation of approximately $300.0 million of the $5.1 billion of commitments supporting New Mountain Partners III, L.P., a private equity fund managed by New Mountain Capital. In February 2009, New Mountain Capital formed a co-investment vehicle, New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., comprising $20.4 million of commitments. New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C. and New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., together with their respective direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are defined as the “Predecessor Entities”.

 

New Mountain Finance Corporation (“NMFC”) is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29, 2010. NMFC is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, NMFC is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. NMFC has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”).

 

New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (“AIV Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on March 11, 2011. Guardian AIV, a Delaware limited partnership, is AIV Holdings’ sole stockholder. AIV Holdings is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, AIV Holdings is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. AIV Holdings has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.

 

On May 19, 2011, NMFC priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75 per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, NMFC sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in a concurrent private placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement”). Additionally, 1,252,964 shares were issued to the limited partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. at that time for their ownership interest in the Predecessor Entities. In connection with NMFC’s IPO and through a series of transactions, the Operating Company owns all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to such operations.

Table of Contents

 

NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their sole asset is their ownership in the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings each entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company, pursuant to which NMFC and AIV Holdings were admitted as members of the Operating Company. NMFC acquired from the Operating Company, with the gross proceeds of the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement, common membership units (“units”) of the Operating Company (the number of units are equal to the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock sold in the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement). Additionally, NMFC received units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of common stock of NMFC issued to the limited partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. Guardian AIV was the parent of the Operating Company prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained units in the Operating Company. Guardian AIV contributed its units in the Operating Company to its newly formed subsidiary, AIV Holdings, in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV Holdings has the right to exchange all or any portion of its units in the Operating Company for shares of NMFC’s common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, NMFC issued an additional 73,888 shares in conjunction with its dividend reinvestment plan at a weighted average price of $14.16. On June 21, 2013, NMFC completed a public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock and an underwritten secondary public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock on behalf of a selling stockholder, AIV Holdings, at a public offering price of $14.55 per share. In connection with the public offering, the underwriters purchased an additional 750,000 shares of NMFC’s common stock from AIV Holdings with the exercise of the overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of common stock. The Operating Company received net proceeds of $28,620 in connection with the sale of 2,000,000 shares by NMFC of its common stock. NMFC did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of NMFC’s common stock by AIV Holdings, including pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option. Since NMFC’s IPO, and through June 30, 2013, NMFC raised approximately $190,448 in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock and issued shares of its common stock valued at approximately $193,698 on behalf of AIV Holdings for exchanged units. NMFC acquired from the Operating Company units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock sold in the additional offerings. As of June 30, 2013, NMFC and AIV Holdings owned approximately 85.3% and 14.7%, respectively, of the units of the Operating Company.

 

The current structure was designed to generally prevent NMFC from being allocated taxable income with respect to unrecognized gains that existed at the time of the IPO in the Predecessor Entities’ assets, and rather such amounts would be allocated generally to AIV Holdings. The result is that any distributions made to NMFC’s stockholders that are attributable to such gains generally will not be treated as taxable dividends but rather as return of capital.

The Operating Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of debt securities at all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, the Operating Company’s investments may also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as generally exhibiting the following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash flow after capital expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) niche market dominance.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of accounting—The Companies’ financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Operating Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF SLF. NMFC and AIV Holdings do not consolidate the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings apply investment company master-feeder financial statement presentation, as described in Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, (“ASC 946”) to their interest in the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings observe that it is industry practice to follow the presentation prescribed for a master fund-feeder fund structure in ASC 946 in instances in which a master fund is owned by more than one feeder fund and that such presentation provides stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of their investment in the Master Fund.

 

The Companies’ financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for all periods

presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred. The financial results of the Operating Company’s portfolio investments are not consolidated in the financial statements. Prior to the IPO, an affiliate of the Predecessor Entities paid a majority of the management and incentive fees. Historical operating expenses do not reflect the allocation of certain professional fees, administrative and other expenses that have been incurred following the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, the Operating Company’s historical operating expenses are not comparable to its operating expenses after the completion of the IPO.

 

The Companies’ interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, the Companies’ interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

 

Investments—The Operating Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Investments are reflected on the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Capital at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments” and realizations on portfolio investments reflected in the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net realized gains (losses) on investments”.

 

The Operating Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, the Operating Company’s board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where its portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Operating Company’s quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:

 

(1)                                 Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from independent pricing services.

 

(2)                                 Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.

 

a.                                      Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and

 

b.                                      For investments other than bonds, the Operating Company looks at the number of quotes readily available and performs the following:

 

i.                                          Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained.

 

ii.                                       Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).

 

29



Table of Contents

 

(3)                                 Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:

 

a.                                      Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;

 

b.                                      Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the Operating Company’s senior management;

 

c.                                       If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the Operating Company does not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Companies’ board of directors; and

 

d.                                      When deemed appropriate by the Operating Company’s management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.

 

The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Operating Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.

 

NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their sole asset is their ownership in the Operating Company. NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ investments in the Operating Company are carried at fair value and represent the respective pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company as of the applicable reporting date. NMFC and AIV Holdings value their ownership interest on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act.

 

See Note 3, Investments, for further discussion relating to investments.

 

Cash and cash equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term, highly liquid investments. The Companies define cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near maturity that there is insignificant risk of changes in value. Generally, these securities have original maturities of three months or less.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Operating Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows:

 

Sales and paydowns of investments:  Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.

 

Interest income:  Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. The Operating Company has loans in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, added to the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and generally due at maturity.

 

Non-accrual income:  Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.

 

30



Table of Contents

 

Other income:  Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees and other miscellaneous fees received. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date.  Other income may also include fees from bridge loans.  The Operating Company may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded.  A fee is received by the Operating Company for providing such commitments.

 

NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ revenue recognition policies are as follows:

 

Revenue, expenses, and capital gains (losses):  At each quarterly valuation date, the Operating Company’s investment income, expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are allocated to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on their pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company. This is recorded on NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses are recorded upon sales of NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ investments in the Operating Company. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. is the difference between the net asset value per share and the closing price per share for shares issued as part of the dividend reinvestment plan on the dividend payment date. This net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from the IPO. NMFC used the proceeds from its IPO and Concurrent Private Placement to purchase units in the Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (its IPO price per share). At the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Operating Company. As a result, NMFC experienced immediate unrealized appreciation on its investment. Concurrently, AIV Holdings experienced immediate unrealized depreciation on its investment in the Operating Company equal to the difference between NMFC’s IPO price of $13.75 per unit and the actual net asset value per unit.

 

All expenses, including those of NMFC and AIV Holdings, are paid and recorded by the Operating Company. Expenses are allocated to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on pro-rata ownership interest. In addition, the Operating Company paid all of the offering costs related to the IPO and subsequent offerings. NMFC and AIV Holdings have recorded their portion of the offering costs as a direct reduction to net assets and the cost of their investment in the Operating Company.

 

With respect to the expenses incident to any registration of shares of NMFC’s common stock issued in exchange for AIV Holdings’ units of the Operating Company, AIV Holdings is directly responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters’ discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any “piggyback” registration expenses.

 

Interest and other credit facility expenses—Interest and other credit facility fees are recorded on an accrual basis by the Operating Company. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details.

 

Deferred credit facility costs—The deferred credit facility costs of the Operating Company consist of capitalized expenses related to the origination and amending of the Operating Company’s existing credit facilities. The Operating Company amortizes these costs into expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the related credit facility. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details.

 

Income taxes—The Operating Company is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as the partners are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on their respective share of the revenues and expenses. The Operating Company files United States (“U.S.”) federal, state, and local income tax returns.

 

NMFC and AIV Holdings have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as RICs under subchapter M of the Code. As RICs, NMFC and AIV Holdings are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains timely distributed to stockholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.

 

To continue to qualify as RICs, NMFC and AIV Holdings are required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to distributing at least 90.0% of their respective investment company taxable income, as

 

31



Table of Contents

 

defined by the Code. Since federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes.

 

Differences between taxable income and the results of operations for financial reporting purposes may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

For federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings are reported as ordinary income, return of capital, long term capital gains or a combination thereof.

 

NMFC and AIV Holdings will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless NMFC and AIV Holdings distribute, in a timely manner as required by the Code, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of their respective net ordinary income earned for the calendar year and (2) 98.2% of their respective capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in the calendar year.

 

The Companies have adopted the Income Taxes topic of the Codification (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain income tax positions should be recognized, measured, and disclosed in the financial statements. Based on their analyses, the Companies have determined that there were no material uncertain income tax positions through December 31, 2012. The 2011 and 2012 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities.

 

Dividends—Distributions to common unit holders of the Operating Company and common stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings are recorded on the record date as set by the respective board of directors. In order for NMFC and AIV Holdings to pay a dividend or other distribution to holders of their common stock, it must be accompanied by a prior distribution by the Operating Company to all of its unit holders. The Operating Company intends to make distributions to its unit holders that will be sufficient to enable NMFC and AIV Holdings to pay quarterly distributions to their stockholders and to maintain their status as RICs. NMFC and AIV Holdings intend to distribute approximately all of their portion of the Operating Company’s adjusted net investment income (see Note 5, Agreements) on a quarterly basis and substantially all of their portion of the Operating Company’s taxable income on an annual basis, except that NMFC may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.

 

Under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to continue to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as a dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV. AIV Holdings intends to make quarterly distributions to Guardian AIV, its sole stockholder, out of assets legally available for distribution each quarter.

 

The Operating Company and NMFC are required to take certain actions in order to maintain, at all times, a one-to-one ratio between the number of units held by NMFC and the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock outstanding. NMFC has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides on behalf of its stockholders for reinvestment of any distributions declared, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. Cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of NMFC’s common stock will be automatically reinvested by NMFC into additional units of the Operating Company. In addition, AIV Holdings does not intend to reinvest any distributions received from the Operating Company in additional units of the Operating Company.

 

NMFC applies the following in implementing the dividend reinvestment plan. If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders’ accounts is greater than 110.0% of the last determined net asset value of the shares, NMFC will use only newly issued shares to implement its dividend reinvestment plan. Under such circumstances, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of NMFC’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the distribution payment date. Market price per share on that date will be the closing price for such shares on the NYSE or, if no sale is reported for such day, the average of their electronically reported bid and asked prices. If NMFC uses newly issued shares to implement the plan, NMFC will receive, on a one-for-one basis, additional units of the Operating Company in exchange for cash distributions that are reinvested in shares of NMFC’s common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan.

 

32



Table of Contents

 

If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders’ accounts is less than 110.0% of the last determined net asset value of the shares, NMFC will either issue new shares or instruct the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market to satisfy the additional shares required. Shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a stockholder based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market. The number of shares of NMFC’s common stock to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the distribution cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of NMFC’s stockholders have been tabulated.

 

Foreign securities—The accounting records of the Operating Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the respective dates of the transactions. The Operating Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments” and “Net realized gains (losses) on investments” in the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Investments denominated in foreign currencies may be negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies. This movement is beyond the control of the Operating Company and cannot be predicted.

 

Use of estimates—The preparation of the Companies’ financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Companies’ financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and other metrics used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used, and the differences could be material.

As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company’s first lien positions in ATI Acquisition Company remained on non-accrual status due to the inability of the portfolio company to service its interest payment for the quarter then ended and uncertainty about its ability to pay such amounts in the future. As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company’s investment had an aggregate cost basis of $5,917, an aggregate fair value of $419 and total unearned interest income of $236 and $468, respectively, for the three and six months then ended. As of December 31, 2012, the Operating Company’s original first lien position in ATI Acquisition Company was put on non-accrual status, with a cost basis of $4,306, a fair value of zero and total unearned interest income of $653 for the year then ended. The Operating Company’s two super priority first lien debt investments in ATI Acquisition Company had a combined cost basis of $1,611 and a combined fair value of $752 as of December 31, 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, the Operating Company placed the super priority first lien positions on non-accrual status as well, resulting in total unearned interest income of $310 for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Operating Company’s total investment in ATI Acquisition Company had an aggregate cost basis of $5,917 and an aggregate fair value of $752, putting the entire ATI Acquisition Company’s investment on non-accrual status. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, unrealized gains include a fee that the Operating Company would receive upon maturity of the two super priority first lien debt investments.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities and bridge facilities of $10,500 and $0, respectively. The Operating Company did not have any unfunded commitments in the form of a delayed draw or other future funding commitments as of June 30, 2013. Any unfunded commitments are disclosed on the Operating Company’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2013.

Investment Risk Factors—First and second lien debt that the Operating Company invests in is entirely, or almost entirely, rated below investment grade or may be unrated. These loans are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the issuers. Such issuers are considered more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal and such defaults could reduce the net asset value and income distributions of the Operating Company. First and second lien debt may also lose significant market value before a default occurs. Furthermore, an active trading market may not exist for these first and second lien loans. This illiquidity may make it more difficult to value the debt.

 

Subordinated debt is generally subject to similar risks as those associated with first and second lien debt, except that such debt is subordinated in payment and /or lower in lien priority. Subordinated debt is subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and the property securing the debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured and unsecured obligations of the borrower.

 

Note 4. Fair Value

 

Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring investments at fair value. The hierarchy classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:

 

Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and the Operating Company has the ability to access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Operating Company, to the extent that it holds such investments, does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Operating Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

 

Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:

 

·                  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

·                  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);

 

·                  Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and

 

·                  Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels. In all instances when the inputs fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. As such, a Level III fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels I and II) and unobservable (Level III). Gains and losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels II and III) and unobservable inputs (Level III).

 

The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consideration of factors specific to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in the transfer of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period. Reclassifications impacting the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the respective leveling categories as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur.

(1)                                 As of June 30, 2012, the portfolio investments were transferred out of Level III into Level II at fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occurred.

 

Except as noted in the tables above, there were no other transfers in or out of Level I, II, or III during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. Transfers into Level III occurred as quotations obtained through pricing services were not deemed representative of fair value as of the balance sheet date and such assets were internally valued. As quotations obtained through pricing services were substantiated through additional market sources, investments were transferred out of Level III. The Operating Company invests in revolving credit facilities. These investments are categorized as Level III investments as these assets are not actively traded and their fair values are often implied by the term loans of the respective portfolio companies.

 

The Operating Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there are little, if any, market activity or observable pricing inputs.

 

Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis:  Prior to investment, as part of its due diligence process, the Operating Company evaluates the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company.  Post investment, the Operating Company analyzes each portfolio company’s current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and changes to its capital structure.  The Operating Company also attempts to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of its original investment thesis.  This analysis is specific to each portfolio company.  The Operating Company leverages the knowledge gained from its original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine its outlook for each of its portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of its investment in each portfolio company. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, the Operating Company will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.

 

Market Based Approach: The Operating Company typically estimates the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing market value cash flow (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies.  The Operating Company considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value its portfolio companies.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations.  The Operating Company generally applies an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA multiples to the portfolio company’s latest twelve month (“LTM”) EBITDA or projected EBITDA to calculate portfolio company enterprise value. In applying the market based

Table of Contents

 

approach as of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company used the relevant EBITDA ranges set forth in the table below to determine the enterprise value of investments in six of its portfolio companies.  The Operating Company believes this was a reasonable range in light of current comparable company trading levels and the specific companies involved.

 

Income Based Approach:  The Operating Company also typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment.  Projected cash flows represent the relevant security’s contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the investment’s expected maturity date.  These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a yield calibration approach, which incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date.  In applying the income based approach as of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company used the discount ranges set forth in the table below to value investments in eight of its portfolio companies.

The Operating Company typically uses a Black Scholes analysis to fair value warrant investments. Input variables used in these analyses include, but are not limited to, stock price, exercise price, expiration date, valuation date, volatility, and discount rate. As of June 30, 2013, warrants had a fair value of $4,629, which have been excluded from the table above.

 

Based on a comparison to similar BDC credit facilities, the terms and conditions of the Holdings Credit Facility and the SLF Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, Borrowing Facilities) are representative of market. The carrying values of the Holdings Credit Facility and SLF Credit Facility approximate fair value as of June 30, 2013, as both facilities are continually monitored and examined by both the borrower and the lender. Both facilities were amended and restated during the year ended December 31, 2012 to lower the applicable interest rate spread by 0.25% and to increase the maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the respective facilities. Additionally for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Holdings Credit Facility was amended and restated to further increase the maximum amount of revolving borrowings available. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details. The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value based on the short term nature of these items. The fair value disclosures discussed in this paragraph are considered Level III.

 

Fair value risk factors—The Operating Company seeks investment opportunities that offer the possibility of attaining substantial capital appreciation. Certain events particular to each industry in which the Operating Company’s portfolio companies conduct their operations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Operating Company’s investments and/or on the fair value of the Operating Company’s investments. The Operating Company’s investments are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal, resulting in a reduction in income to the Operating Company and thus the income of NMFC and AIV Holdings, and their corresponding fair valuations. Also, there may be risk associated with the concentration of investments in one geographic region or in certain industries. These events are beyond the control of the Operating Company and cannot be predicted. Furthermore, the ability to liquidate investments and realize value is subject to uncertainties.

On May 19, 2011, NMFC entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company pursuant to which NMFC was admitted as a member of the Operating Company and agreed to acquire from the Operating Company a number of units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of common stock outstanding of NMFC. Additionally on May 19, 2011, in connection with the contribution by Guardian AIV of its units to AIV Holdings, AIV Holdings entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company pursuant to which AIV Holdings was also admitted as a member of the Operating Company.

 

The Operating Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement, as amended and restated (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Operating

Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Operating Company, consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee.

 

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Operating Company’s gross assets less (i) the borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, Borrowing Facilities) and (ii) cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated based on the average value of the Operating Company’s gross assets, borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility, and cash and cash equivalents at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raises or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.

 

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0% of the Operating Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a “preferred return”, or “hurdle”, and a “catch-up” feature. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Operating Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Operating Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, with the Administrator, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred membership units (of which there are none as of June 30, 2013), but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Operating Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

 

Under GAAP, NMFC’s IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the Operating Company’s existing investments to fair market value at the IPO date. Since the total value of the 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 original issue discount, as well as different amounts in realized gain and unrealized appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor investments are sold or mature in the future. The Operating Company tracks the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO and, for purposes of the incentive fee calculation, adjusts Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income to reflect the amortization of purchase or original issue discount on the Operating Company’s investments as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO, or stepped up to fair market value. This is defined as “Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income”. The Operating Company also uses the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO to adjust capital gains (“Adjusted Realized Capital Gains”) or losses (“Adjusted Realized Capital Losses”) and unrealized capital appreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation”) and unrealized capital depreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation”).

 

Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Operating Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized), subject to a “catch-up” provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. The hurdle rate is appropriately pro-rated for any partial periods. The calculation of the Operating Company’s incentive fee with respect to the Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:

 

·                  No incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0% (the “preferred return” or “hurdle”).

 

·                  100.0% of the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser. This portion of the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) is referred to as the “catch-up”. The catch-up provision is intended to provide the Investment Adviser with an incentive fee of 20.0% on all of the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.

Table of Contents

 

·                  20.0% of the amount of the Operating Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved.

 

The second part will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement) and will equal 20.0% of the Operating Company’s Adjusted Realized Capital Gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fee.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the Operating Company accrues a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains and Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year as if the entire portfolio was sold at fair value.

 

The Operating Company has revised its presentation of incentive fees on the Consolidated Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Capital and the Consolidated Statements of Operations to disclose the two parts of the incentive fee incurred by the Operating Company for net investment income related incentive fees and capital gains related incentive fees.

 

The following table summarizes the management fees and incentive fees incurred by the Operating Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, no actual capital gains incentive fee was owed under the Investment Management Agreement, as cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains did not exceed cumulative Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation.

 

The Operating Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations below are adjusted as if the step-up in cost basis to fair market value had occurred at the IPO date, May 19, 2011.

Under the Trademark License Agreement, as amended, subject to certain conditions, the Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have a right to use the “New Mountain” and “New Mountain Finance” names, for so long as the Investment Adviser or one of its affiliates remains the investment adviser of the Operating Company. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have no legal right to the “New Mountain” or the “New Mountain Finance” names.

 

NMFC entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with AIV Holdings, Steven B. Klinsky (the Chairman of the Companies’ board of directors), an entity related to Steven B. Klinsky and the Investment Adviser. Subject to several

 

43



Table of Contents

 

exceptions, AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser have the right to require NMFC to register for public resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act of 1933”), all registerable securities that are held by any of them and that they request to be registered. Registerable securities subject to the Registration Rights Agreement are shares of NMFC’s common stock issued or issuable in exchange for units and any other shares of NMFC’s common stock held by AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and any of their transferees. The rights under the Registration Rights Agreement can be conditionally exercised by AIV Holdings or the Investment Adviser, meaning that prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement related to the shares, AIV Holdings or the Investment Adviser can withdraw their request to have the shares registered. AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser may each assign their rights to any person that acquires registerable securities subject to the Registration Rights Agreement and who agrees to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. Steven B. Klinsky and a related entity will have the right to “piggyback”, or include their own registerable securities in such a registration. Shares held by AIV Holdings and Steven B. Klinsky were registered on a shelf registration statement on Form N-2.

 

AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser may require NMFC to use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act of 1933 all or any portion of these registerable securities upon a “demand request”. The demand registration rights are subject to certain limitations.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement includes limited blackout and suspension periods. In addition, AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser may also require NMFC to file a shelf registration statement on Form N-2 for the resale of their registerable securities if NMFC is eligible to use Form N-2 at that time.

 

Holders of registerable securities have “piggyback” registration rights, including AIV Holdings, which means that these holders may include their respective shares in any future registrations of NMFC’s equity securities, whether or not that registration relates to a primary offering by NMFC or a secondary offering by or on behalf of any of NMFC’s stockholders. AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) have priority over NMFC in any registration that is an underwritten offering.

 

AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) will be responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters’ discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any “piggyback” registration. NMFC has agreed to indemnify AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) with respect to liabilities resulting from untrue statements or omissions in any registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, other than untrue statements or omissions resulting from information furnished to NMFC by such parties. AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) have also agreed to indemnify NMFC with respect to liabilities resulting from untrue statements or omissions furnished by them to NMFC relating to them in any registration statement.

incentive fees) have been capped at $3,500 for the time period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 and capped at $4,250 for the time period from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.

 

The Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have entered into a royalty-free Trademark License Agreement, as amended, with New Mountain Capital, L.L.C., pursuant to which New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. has agreed to grant the Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “New Mountain” and “New Mountain Finance”.

 

The Companies have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of their respective officers and directors. These officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by the 1940 Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.

 

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with the Operating Company’ investment mandates. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for the Operating Company and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that the Operating Company should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff, and consistent with the Investment Adviser’s allocation procedures.

 

Concurrently with the IPO, NMFC sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in the Concurrent Private Placement.

 

Note 7. Borrowing Facilities

 

Holdings Credit Facility—The Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated May 19, 2011 (the “Holdings Credit Facility”) among the Operating Company as the Borrower and Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, L.L.C. as the Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, is structured as a revolving credit facility and matures on October 27, 2016, as amended on May 8, 2012. The Operating Company became a party to the Holdings Credit Facility upon the IPO of NMFC. The Holdings Credit Facility amends and restates the credit facility of the Predecessor Entities (the “Predecessor Credit Facility”).

 

The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility is $250,000, as amended on June 24, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company was permitted to borrow up to 45.0% or 25.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien or non-first lien debt securities, and up to 70.0% and 45.0% of the purchase price of specified first lien debt securities and specified non-first lien debt securities, respectively, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Holdings Credit Facility is collateralized by all of the investments of the Operating Company on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or upsizing of the Holdings Credit Facility are capitalized on the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Members’ Capital and charged against income as other credit facility expenses over the life of the Holdings Credit Facility. The Holdings Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change in control. In addition, the Holdings Credit Facility requires the Operating Company to maintain a minimum asset coverage ratio. However, the covenants are generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of the Operating Company’s investments, but rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies.

 

The Holdings Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75% per annum, as amended on May 8, 2012, and charges a non-usage fee, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the credit agreement).

 

The following table summarizes the interest expense and non-usage fees incurred by the Operating Company on the Holdings Credit Facility for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance on the Holdings Credit Facility was $209,436 and $206,938, respectively, and the Operating Company was not aware of any instances of non-compliance related to the Holdings Credit Facility on such dates.

 

SLF Credit Facility—NMF SLF’s Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated October 27, 2010 (the “SLF Credit Facility”) among NMF SLF as the Borrower, the Operating Company as the Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, L.L.C. as the Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, is structured as a revolving credit facility and matures on October 27, 2016, as amended on May 8, 2012. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the SLF Credit Facility is $215,000, as amended on December 18, 2012. The loan is non-recourse to the Operating Company and secured by all assets owned by the borrower on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or upsizing of the SLF Credit Facility are capitalized on the Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Members’ Capital and charged against income as other credit facility expenses over the life of the SLF Credit Facility. The SLF Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change in control. The covenants are generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of our investments, but rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies. Due to an amendment to the SLF Credit Facility on October 27, 2011, NMF SLF is no longer restricted from the purchase or sale of loans with an affiliate. Therefore, specified loans can be moved as collateral between the Holdings Credit Facility and the SLF Credit Facility.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the SLF Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to 70.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien debt securities and up to 25.0% of the purchase price of specified second lien loans, of which, up to 25.0% of the aggregate outstanding loan balance of all pledged debt securities in the SLF Credit Facility is allowed to be derived from second lien loans, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as amended on March 11, 2013. The amendment does not increase the amount of borrowings permitted under the SLF Credit Facility.

 

The SLF Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum for first lien loans and 2.75% for second lien loans, respectively, as amended on March 11, 2013. A non-usage fee is paid, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the credit agreement).

 

The following table summarizes the interest expense and non-usage fees incurred by the Operating Company on the SLF Credit Facility for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance on the SLF Credit Facility was $207,100 and $214,262, respectively, and NMF SLF was not aware of any instances of non-compliance related to the SLF Credit Facility on such dates.

 

Leverage risk factors—The Operating Company utilizes and may utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by the law for investment and other general business purposes. The Operating Company’s lenders will have fixed dollar claims on certain assets that are superior to the claims of the Operating Company’s unit holders, and therefore NMFC’s common stockholders, and the Operating Company would expect such lenders to seek recovery against these assets in the event of a default. The use of leverage also magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested. Leverage may magnify interest rate risk (particularly on the Operating Company’s fixed-rate investments), which is the risk that the prices of portfolio investments will fall or rise if market interest rates for those types of securities rise or fall. As a result, leverage may cause greater changes in the Operating Company’s net asset value. Similarly, leverage may cause a sharper decline in the Operating Company’s income than if the Operating Company had not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect the Operating Company’s ability to make dividend payments to its unit holders. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. The Operating Company’s ability to service any debt incurred will depend largely on financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures.

Note 8. Regulation

 

NMFC and AIV Holdings have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as RICs under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to continue to qualify as RICs, among other things, NMFC and AIV Holdings are required to timely distribute to their stockholders at least 90.0% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. NMFC and AIV Holdings, among other things, intend to make and continue to make the requisite distributions to their stockholders, which will generally relieve NMFC and AIV Holdings from U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes (excluding excise taxes which may be imposed under the Code). However, under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to continue to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV.

 

Additionally as BDCs, the Companies must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70.0% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).

 

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Companies may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Operating Company may also enter into future funding commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge financing commitments, or delayed draw commitments. As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities of $10,500 and no outstanding bridge financing commitments or other future funding commitments, all of which are disclosed on the Operating Company’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments. As of December 31, 2012, the Operating Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities of $10,500 and no outstanding bridge financing commitments or other future funding commitments, all of which are disclosed on the Operating Company’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

 

The Operating Company also has revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility and the SLF Credit Facility as of June 30, 2013. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details.

 

The Operating Company may from time to time enter into financing commitment letters. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Operating Company did not enter into any commitment letters to purchase debt investments, which could require funding in the future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Boards of Directors of

New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.,

New Mountain Finance Corporation and

New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation

New York, New York

 

We have reviewed the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Capital of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L. C., as of June 30, 2013, including the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the Consolidated Statements of  Changes in Members’ Capital, and Cash Flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Also, we have reviewed the Statements of Assets and Liabilities of New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation as of June 30, 2013, and the related Statements of Operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and for the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Cash Flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the management of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C., New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Capital of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C., including the Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2012 and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Changes in Members’ Capital, and Cash Flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and the Statements of Assets and Liabilities of New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation as of December 31, 2012, the related Statements of Operations, Changes in Net Assets, and Cash Flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 6, 2013, we expressed unqualified opinions on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members’ Capital of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C., including the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, and the Statements of Assets and Liabilities of New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation as of December 31, 2012 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Members’ Capital of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C., including the Consolidated Schedules of Investments, and the Statements of Assets and Liabilities of New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation from which they have been derived.

Overview

 

The Operating Company is a Delaware limited liability company. The Operating Company is externally managed and has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As such, the Operating Company is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. The Operating Company intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes for so long as it has at least two members.

The Operating Company is externally managed by the Investment Adviser. New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for operations. The Investment Adviser and Administrator are wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Mountain Capital (defined as New Mountain Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates). New Mountain Capital is a firm with a track record of investing in the middle market and with assets under management (which includes amounts committed, not all of which have been drawn down and invested to date) totaling more than $9.0 billion as of June 30, 2013. New Mountain Capital focuses on investing in defensive growth companies across its private equity, public equity, and credit investment vehicles. The Operating Company, formerly known as New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C., was originally formed as a subsidiary of New Mountain Guardian AIV, L.P. (“Guardian AIV”) by New Mountain Capital in October 2008. Guardian AIV was formed through an allocation of approximately $300.0 million of the $5.1 billion of commitments supporting New Mountain Partners III, L.P., a private equity fund managed by New Mountain Capital. In February 2009, New Mountain Capital formed a co-investment vehicle, New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., comprising $20.4 million of commitments. New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C. and New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., together with their respective direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are defined as the “Predecessor Entities”.

 

NMFC is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29, 2010. NMFC is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, NMFC is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. NMFC has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”).

 

AIV Holdings is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on March 11, 2011. Guardian AIV, a Delaware limited partnership, is AIV Holdings’ sole stockholder. AIV Holdings is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, AIV Holdings is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. AIV Holdings has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.

 

On May 19, 2011, NMFC priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75 per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, NMFC sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in a concurrent private placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement”). Additionally, 1,252,964 shares were issued to the limited partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. at that time for their ownership interest in the Predecessor Entities. In connection with NMFC’s IPO and through a series of transactions, the Operating Company owns all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to such operations.

 

NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their sole asset is their ownership in the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings each entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company, pursuant to which NMFC and AIV Holdings were admitted as members of the Operating Company. NMFC acquired from the Operating Company, with the gross proceeds of the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement, common membership units (“units”) of the Operating Company (the number of units are equal to the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock sold in the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement). Additionally, NMFC received units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of common stock of NMFC issued to the limited partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. Guardian AIV was the parent of the Operating Company prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained units in the Operating Company. Guardian AIV contributed its units in the Operating Company to its newly formed subsidiary, AIV Holdings, in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV Holdings has the right to exchange all or any portion of its units in the Operating Company for shares of NMFC’s common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, NMFC issued an additional 73,888 shares in conjunction with its dividend reinvestment plan at a weighted average price of $14.16. On June 21, 2013, NMFC completed a public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock and an underwritten secondary public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock on behalf of a selling stockholder, AIV Holdings, at a public offering price of $14.55 per share. In connection with the public offering, the underwriters purchased an additional 750,000 shares of NMFC’s common stock from AIV Holdings with the exercise of the overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of common stock. The Operating Company received net proceeds of $28.6 million in connection with the sale of 2,000,000 shares by NMFC of its common stock. NMFC did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of NMFC’s common stock by AIV Holdings, including pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option. Since NMFC’s IPO, and through June 30, 2013, NMFC raised approximately $190.4 million in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock and issued shares of its common stock valued at approximately $193.7 million on behalf of AIV Holdings for exchanged units. NMFC acquired from the Operating Company units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock sold in additional offerings. As of June 30, 2013, NMFC and AIV Holdings owned approximately 85.3% and 14.7%, respectively, of the units of the Operating Company.

The current structure was designed to generally prevent NMFC from being allocated taxable income with respect to unrecognized gains that existed at the time of the IPO in the Predecessor Entities’ assets, and rather such amounts would be allocated generally to AIV Holdings. The result is that any distributions made to NMFC’s stockholders that are attributable to such gains generally will not be treated as taxable dividends but rather as return of capital.

 

The diagram below depicts the Companies’ organizational structure as of June 30, 2013.

The Operating Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of debt securities at all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, The Operating Company’s investments may also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as generally exhibiting the following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash flow after capital expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) niche market dominance.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company’s net asset value was $640.3 million and its portfolio had a fair value of approximately $1,059.0 million in 59 portfolio companies, with a weighted average yield to maturity of approximately 10.3%. This yield to maturity calculation assumes that all investments not on non-accrual are purchased at fair value on June 30, 2013 and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. The actual yield to maturity may be higher or lower due to the future selection of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) contracts by the individual companies in the Operating Company’s portfolio or other factors.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The Operating Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF SLF. NMFC and AIV Holdings do not consolidate the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings apply investment company master-feeder financial statement presentation, as described in Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, (“ASC 946”) to their interest in the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings observe that it is industry practice to follow the presentation prescribed for a master fund-feeder fund structure in ASC 946 in instances in which a master fund is owned by more than one feeder fund and that such presentation provides stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of their investment in the Master Fund.

 

Valuation and Leveling of Portfolio Investments

 

At all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act, the Operating Company conducts a valuation of assets, which impacts its net asset value, and, consequently, the net asset values of NMFC and AIV Holdings.

 

The Operating Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, the Operating Company’s board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of its portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available, and any other situation where its portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Operating Company’s quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:

 

(1)                                 Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from independent pricing services.

 

(2)                                 Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.

 

a.                                      Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below);

 

55



Table of Contents

 

b.                                      For investments other than bonds, the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser look at the number of quotes readily available and perform the following:

 

i.                                          Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained;

 

ii.                                       Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).

 

(3)                                 Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:

 

a.                                      Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;

 

b.                                      Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the Operating Company’s senior management;

 

c.                                       If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser do not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Companies’ board of directors.

 

d.                                      Also, when deemed appropriate by the Operating Company’s management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.

 

The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of certain investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.

 

GAAP fair value measurement guidance classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:

 

Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and the Operating Company has the ability to access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Operating Company, to the extent that we hold such investments, does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Operating Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

 

Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:

 

·                  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

·                  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);

 

56



Table of Contents

 

·                  Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and

 

·                  Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.

 

The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consideration of factors specific to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in the transfer of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period.

 

The following table summarizes the levels in the fair value hierarchy that the Operating Company’s portfolio investments fall into as of June 30, 2013:

NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their sole asset is their ownership in the Operating Company. NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ investments in the Operating Company are carried at fair value and represent the pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company as of the applicable reporting date. NMFC and AIV Holdings value their ownership interest on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act.

 

The Operating Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there are little, if any, market activity or observable pricing inputs.

 

Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis:  Prior to investment, as part of its due diligence process, the Operating Company evaluates the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company.  Post investment, the Operating Company analyzes each portfolio company’s current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and changes to its capital structure.  The Operating Company also attempts to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of its original investment thesis.  This analysis is specific to each portfolio company.  The Operating Company leverages the knowledge gained from its original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine its outlook for each of its portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of its investment in each portfolio company. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, the Operating Company will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.

 

Market Based Approach: The Operating Company typically estimates the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing market value cash flow (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies.  The Operating Company considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value its portfolio companies.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations.  The Operating Company generally applies an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA multiples to the portfolio company’s latest twelve month (“LTM”) EBITDA or projected EBITDA to calculate portfolio company enterprise value.  In applying the market based approach as of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company used the relevant EBITDA ranges set forth in the table below to determine the enterprise value of investments in six of its portfolio companies.  The Operating Company believes this was a reasonable range in light of current comparable company trading levels and the specific companies involved.

 

57



Table of Contents

 

Income Based Approach: The Operating Company also typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment. Projected cash flows represent the relevant security’s contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the investment’s expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a yield calibration approach, which incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. In applying the income based approach as of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company used the discount ranges set forth in the table below to value investments in eight of its portfolio companies.

The Operating Company typically uses a Black Scholes analysis to fair value warrant investments. Input variables used in these analyses include, but are not limited to, stock price, exercise price, expiration date, valuation date, volatility, and discount rate. As of June 30, 2013, warrants had a fair value of $4.6 million, which have been excluded from the table above.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Operating Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows:

 

Sales and paydowns of investments:  Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.

 

Interest income:  Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. The Operating Company has loans in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, added to the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and generally due at maturity.

 

Non-accrual income:  Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.

 

Other income:  Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees and other miscellaneous fees received. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date. Other income may also include fees from bridge loans.  The Operating Company may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded.  A fee is received by the Operating Company for providing such commitments.

 

NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ revenue recognition policies are as follows:

 

Revenue, expenses, and capital gains (losses):  At each quarterly valuation date, the Operating Company’s investment income, expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are allocated to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on their pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company. This is recorded on NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses are recorded upon sales of NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ investments in the Operating Company. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. is the difference

 

58



Table of Contents

 

between the net asset value per share and the closing price per share for shares issued as part of the dividend reinvestment plan on the dividend payment date. This net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from the IPO. NMFC used the proceeds from its IPO and Concurrent Private Placement to purchase units in the Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (its IPO price per share). At the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Operating Company. As a result, NMFC experienced immediate unrealized appreciation on its investment. Concurrently, AIV Holdings experienced immediate unrealized depreciation on its investment in the Operating Company equal to the difference between NMFC’s IPO price of $13.75 per unit and the actual net asset value per unit.

 

All expenses, including those of NMFC and AIV Holdings, are paid and recorded by the Operating Company. Expenses are allocated to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on pro-rata ownership interest. In addition, the Operating Company paid all of the offering costs related to the IPO and subsequent offerings. NMFC and AIV Holdings have recorded their portion of the offering costs as a direct reduction to net assets and the cost of their investment in the Operating Company.

 

With respect to the expenses incident to any registration of shares of NMFC’s common stock issued in exchange for AIV Holdings’ units of the Operating Company, AIV Holdings is directly responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters’ discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any “piggyback” registration expenses.

 

Monitoring of Portfolio Investments

 

The Operating Company monitors the performance and financial trends of its portfolio companies on at least a quarterly basis. The Operating Company attempts to identify any developments at the portfolio company or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment that may alter any material element of its original investment strategy.

 

The Operating Company uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the credit profile and expected level of returns on each investment in the portfolio. The Operating Company uses a four-level numeric rating scale as follows:

 

·                  Investment Rating 1—Investment is performing materially above expectations;

 

·                  Investment Rating 2—Investment is performing materially in-line with expectations. All new loans are rated 2 at initial purchase;

 

·                  Investment Rating 3—Investment is performing materially below expectations and risk has increased materially since the original investment; and

 

·                  Investment Rating 4—Investment is performing substantially below expectations and risks have increased substantially since the original investment. Payments may be delinquent. There is meaningful possibility that the Operating Company will not recoup its original cost basis in the investment and may realize a substantial loss upon exit.

 

As of June 30, 2013, all investments in the Operating Company’s portfolio had an Investment Rating of 1 or 2 with the exception of two portfolio companies; one with an Investment Rating of 3 and the other with an Investment Rating of 4. As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company’s first lien positions in ATI Acquisition Company had an Investment Rating of 4 due to the underlying business encountering significant regulatory constraints which have led to the portfolio company’s underperformance. As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company’s first lien positions in ATI Acquisition Company remained on non-accrual status due to the inability of the portfolio company to service its interest payments for the quarter then ended and uncertainty about its ability to pay such amounts in the future. As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company’s investment had an aggregate cost basis of $5.9 million, an aggregate fair value of $0.4 million and total unearned interest income of $0.2 and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months then ended. Unrealized gains include a fee that the Operating Company would receive upon maturity of the two super priority first lien debt investments.

Results of Operations

 

Since NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their only business and sole asset are their ownership of common membership units of the Operating Company, NMFC’s and AIV Holdings’ results of operations are based on the Operating Company’s results of operations.

 

Under GAAP, NMFC’s IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the Operating Company’s existing investments to fair market value at the IPO date. Since the total value of the 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 original issue discount, and different amounts in realized gain and unrealized appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor investments are sold or mature in the future. The Operating Company tracks the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO and, for purposes of the incentive fee calculation, adjusts income as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO (or stepped up to fair market value). The respective “Adjusted Net Investment Income” (defined as net investment income adjusted to reflect income as if the cost basis of investments held at the IPO date had stepped-up to fair market value as of the IPO date) is used in calculating both the incentive fee and dividend payments. The Operating Company also uses the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO to adjust capital gains (“Adjusted Realized Capital Gains”) or losses (“Adjusted Realized Capital Losses”) and unrealized capital appreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation”) and unrealized capital depreciation (“Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation”). See Item 1.—Financial Statements—Note 5, Agreements for additional details.

 

The following table for the Operating Company for the three months ended June 30, 2013 is adjusted to reflect the step-up to fair market value and the allocation of the incentive fees related to hypothetical capital gains out of the adjusted post-incentive fee net investment income.

Table of Contents

 

In accordance with GAAP, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Operating Company accrued $1.0 million of hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains and Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year as if the entire portfolio was sold at fair value. As of June 30, 2013, no actual capital gains incentive fee was owed under the Investment Management Agreement, as cumulative net Adjusted Realized Gains did not exceed cumulative Adjusted Unrealized Depreciation.

The Operating Company’s total investment income increased by $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in interest and other income from the three months ended June 30, 2012 to the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to larger invested balances, driven by the proceeds from the 2012 and 2013 primary offerings of NMFC’s common stock, the Operating Company’s use of leverage for its revolving credit facilities to originate new investments and prepayment fees received associated with the early repayments or partial repayments of five different portfolio companies held by the Operating Company as of March 31, 2013. Additionally, the Operating Company’s other income increased due to consent, amendment and forbearance fees received associated with three different portfolio companies held by the Operating Company as of March 31, 2013. The increase in dividend income from the three months ended June 30, 2012 to the three months ended June 30, 2013 was attributable to a distribution from one of the Operating Company’s warrant investments.

Interest and other credit facility expenses increased by $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the increase of average debt outstanding from $134.1 million to $189.0 million for the Holdings Credit Facility and from $168.1 million to $214.5 million for the SLF Credit Facility for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2013.

increase in management and incentive fees from the three months ended June 30, 2012 to the three months ended June 30, 2013 was attributable to larger invested balances, driven by the proceeds from the 2012 and 2013 primary offerings of NMFC’s common stock, the Operating Company’s use of leverage for its revolving credit facilities to originate new investments and the receipt of a $6.4 million dividend distribution from one of the Operating Company’s warrant investments.

The Operating Company’s net realized and unrealized gains or losses resulted in a net loss of $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of $0.6 million for the same period in 2012. We look at net realized and unrealized gains or losses together as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily driven by the overall decrease in the market prices of the Operating Company’s investments during the period.  The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily driven by an increase in the cost basis of the Operating Company’s portfolio due to the amortization of purchase discounts and market prices remaining relatively constant during the period.

The Operating Company’s total net operating expenses increased by $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. Interest and other credit facility expenses increased by $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the increase of average debt outstanding from $131.5 million to $193.9 million for the Holdings Credit Facility and from $170.1 million to $214.4 million for the SLF Credit Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Operating Company incurred $37 thousand in other expenses that were not subject to the expense cap pursuant to the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, and further restricted by the Operating Company.

 

Additionally, the Operating Company’s management fees and incentive fees increased by $2.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in management and incentive fees from the six months ended June 30, 2012 to the six months ended June 30, 2013 was attributable to larger invested balances, driven by the proceeds from the 2012 and 2013 primary offerings of NMFC’s common stock, the Operating Company’s use of leverage for its revolving credit facilities to originate new investments and the receipt of a $6.4 million dividend distribution from one of the Operating Company’s warrant investments. The Operating Company’s capital gains incentive fees remained relatively consistent at $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, no actual capital gains incentive fee was owed under the Investment Management Agreement, as cumulative net Adjusted Realized Gains did not exceed cumulative Adjusted Unrealized Depreciation.

The Operating Company’s net realized and unrealized gains or losses resulted in a net gain of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a net gain of $13.2 million for the same period in 2012. We look at net realized and unrealized gains or losses together as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations. The net gain for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily driven by sales or repayment of investments with fair values in excess of December 31, 2012 valuations, resulting in net realized gains being greater than the reversal of the cumulative net unrealized gains for those investments. The net gain for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily related to the overall increase in the market and the quality of the Operating Company’s portfolio, directly impacting the prices of the Operating Company’s portfolio.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for the Operating Company’s repayment of indebtedness, the Operating Company’s investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to the Operating Company’s unit holders or for other general corporate purposes.

Since NMFC’s IPO, and through June 30, 2013, NMFC raised approximately $190.4 million in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock and issued shares valued at approximately $193.7 million on behalf of AIV Holdings for exchanged units. NMFC acquired from the Operating Company units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock sold in the additional offerings.

 

On March 25, 2013, NMFC completed a public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock and an underwritten secondary public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock on behalf of a selling stockholder, AIV Holdings, at a public offering price of $14.30 per share. In connection with the underwritten secondary public offering, the underwriters purchased an additional 900,000 shares of NMFC’s common stock from AIV Holdings with the exercise of the overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of common stock. The Operating Company received net proceeds of $28.4 million in connection with the sale of 2,000,000 shares by NMFC of its common stock. NMFC did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of NMFC’s common stock by AIV Holdings. The Operating Company and NMFC bore only their allocable portion of offering expenses related to the public offering of 2,000,000 shares, and did not bear any expenses in connection with the secondary public offering of the 4,900,000 shares of NMFC’s common stock on behalf of AIV Holdings, which were borne by AIV Holdings.

 

On June 21, 2013, NMFC completed a public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock and an underwritten secondary public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock on behalf of a selling stockholder, AIV Holdings, at a public offering price of $14.55 per share. In connection with the underwritten secondary public offering, the underwriters purchased an additional 750,000 shares of NMFC’s common stock from AIV Holdings with the exercise of the overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of common stock. The Operating Company received net proceeds of $28.6 million in connection with the sale of 2,000,000 shares by NMFC of its common stock. NMFC did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of NMFC’s common stock by AIV Holdings. The Operating Company and NMFC bore only their allocable portion of offering expenses related to the public offering of 2,000,000 shares, and did not bear any expenses in connection with the secondary public offering of the 4,750,000 shares of NMFC’s common stock on behalf of AIV Holdings, which were borne by AIV Holdings.

 

The Operating Company’s liquidity is generated and generally available through advances from the revolving credit facilities, from cash flows from operations, and, we expect, through periodic follow-on equity offerings of NMFC.

 

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Operating Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.9 million and $12.8 million, respectively. Cash (used in) operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was approximately $(11.1) million and $(0.1) million, respectively. We expect that all current liquidity needs by the Operating Company will be met with cash flows from operations and other activities.

 

Credit Facilities

 

Holdings Credit Facility—The Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated May 19, 2011 (the “Holdings Credit Facility”) among the Operating Company as the Borrower and Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, L.L.C. as the Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, is structured as a revolving credit facility and matures on October 27, 2016, as amended on May 8, 2012.

 

The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility is $250.0 million, as amended on June 24, 2013. The Operating Company is permitted to borrow up to 45.0% or 25.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien or non-first lien debt securities, and up to 70.0% and 45.0% of the purchase price of specified first lien debt securities and specified non-first lien debt securities, respectively, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Holdings Credit Facility is collateralized by all of the investments of the Operating Company on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or upsizing of the Holdings Credit Facility are capitalized on the Operating Company’s Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Members’ Capital and charged against income as other credit facility expenses over the life of the Holdings Credit Facility. The Holdings Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change in control. In addition, the Holdings Credit Facility requires the Operating Company to maintain a minimum asset coverage ratio. However, the covenants are generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of the Operating Company’s investments, but rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies.

 

The Holdings Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75% per annum, as amended on May 8, 2012, and charges a non-usage fee, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the credit agreement).

(1)                                 For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the total non-usage fee was less than $50 thousand.

 

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance on the Holdings Credit Facility was $209.4 million and $206.9 million, respectively, and the Operating Company was not aware of any instances of non-compliance related to the Holdings Credit Facility on such dates.

 

SLF Credit Facility—NMF SLF’s Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated October 27, 2010 (the “SLF Credit Facility”) among NMF SLF as the Borrower, the Operating Company as the Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, L.L.C. as the Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, is structured as a revolving credit facility and matures on October 27, 2016, as amended on May 8, 2012. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the SLF Credit Facility is $215.0 million, as amended on December 18, 2012. The loan is non-recourse to the Operating Company and secured by all assets owned by the borrower on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or upsizing of the SLF Credit Facility are capitalized on the Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Members’ Capital and charged against income as other credit facility expenses over the life of the SLF Credit Facility. The SLF Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change in control. The covenants are generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of our investments, but rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies. Due to an amendment to the SLF Credit Facility on October 27, 2011, NMF SLF is no longer restricted from the purchase or sale of loans with an affiliate. Therefore, specified loans can be moved as collateral between the Holdings Credit Facility and the SLF Credit Facility.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the SLF Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to 70.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien debt securities and up to 25.0% of the purchase price of specified second lien loans, of which, up to 25.0% of the aggregate outstanding loan balance of all pledged debt securities in the SLF Credit Facility is allowed to be derived from second lien loans, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as amended on March 11, 2013. The amendment does not increase the amount of borrowings permitted under the SLF Credit Facility.

 

The SLF Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum for first lien loans and 2.75% for second lien loans, respectively, as amended on March 11, 2013. A non-usage fee is paid, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the credit agreement).

 

The following table summarizes the interest expense and non-usage fees incurred by the Operating Company on the SLF Credit Facility for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Operating Company may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its portfolio companies.

of, our financial records, our reports to stockholders / unit holders and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that are entered into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under the Investment Management Agreement and the Administration Agreement.

(1)                            As of the record date, AIV Holdings owned 11,321,938 units of the Operating Company. AIV Holdings received a total dividend for the amounts and subsequently AIV Holdings’ board of directors declared total dividends in the same amounts payable to the holders of record as of the record date.

(2)                            This amount does not include the distribution to Guardian AIV of $66.9 million in connection with net proceeds from the June 21, 2013 underwritten secondary public offering of NMFC’s common stock on behalf of AIV Holdings.

(3)                            As of the respective record dates, AIV Holdings owned 16,221,938 units of the Operating Company. AIV Holdings received a total dividend for the respective amounts and subsequently AIV Holdings’ board of directors declared total dividends in the same amounts payable to the holders of record as of the respective record dates.

(4)                            Actual cash payment was made on April 5, 2013.

(5)                            This amount does not include the distribution to Guardian AIV of $67.8 million in connection with net proceeds from the March 25, 2013 underwritten secondary public offering of NMFC’s common stock on behalf of AIV Holdings.

(6)                            Special dividend intended to minimize to the greatest extent possible NMFC’s federal income or excise tax liability.

(7)                            Actual cash payment was made on January 7, 2013.

(8)                            As of the respective record dates, AIV Holdings owned 20,221,938 units of the Operating Company. AIV Holdings received a total dividend for the respective amounts and subsequently AIV Holdings’ board of directors declared total dividends in the same amounts payable to the holders of record as of the respective record dates.

(9)                           This amount does not include the distribution to Guardian AIV of $58.2 million in connection with net proceeds from the September 28, 2012 underwritten secondary public offering of NMFC’s common stock on behalf of AIV Holdings.

(10)                     Actual cash payment was made on July 9, 2012.

(11)                     Special dividend related to estimated realized capital gains attributable to the Operating Company’s investments in Lawson Software, Inc. and Infor Lux Bond Company.

(12)                     Actual cash payment was made on April 4, 2012.

 

Tax characteristics of all dividends paid by NMFC and AIV Holdings were reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Future quarterly dividends, if any, for the Companies will be determined by their respective board of directors.

 

Since NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies, all distributions on their common stock will be paid from distributions received from the Operating Company. The Operating Company intends to make distributions to its unit holders that will be sufficient to enable NMFC and AIV Holdings to pay quarterly distributions to their stockholders and to maintain their status as RICs. Under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as a dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV. AIV Holdings intends to make quarterly distributions to Guardian AIV out of assets legally available for distribution each quarter. NMFC intends to distribute approximately its entire portion of the Operating Company’s Adjusted Net Investment Income on a quarterly basis and substantially its entire portion of the Operating Company’s taxable income on an annual basis, except that it may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.

 

NMFC maintains an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for its common stockholders. As a result, if the Operating Company declares a dividend, then NMFC stockholders’ cash dividends will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of NMFC’s common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash dividends. Cash dividends reinvested in additional shares of NMFC’s common stock will be automatically reinvested by NMFC in the Operating Company in exchange for additional units of the Operating Company. See Item 1—Financial Statements—Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details regarding NMFC’s dividend reinvestment plan.

 

AIV Holdings does not intend to reinvest any distributions received in additional units of the Operating Company.

Related Parties

 

The Companies have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

 

·                  Together, NMFC and AIV Holdings own all the outstanding units of the Operating Company. As of June 30, 2013, NMFC and AIV Holdings own approximately 85.3% and 14.7%, respectively, of the units of the Operating Company.

 

·                  The Operating Company has entered into the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. Therefore, New Mountain Capital is entitled to any profits earned by the Investment Adviser, which includes any fees payable to the Investment Adviser under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, less expenses incurred by the Investment Adviser in performing its services under the Investment Management Agreement.

 

·                  The Companies have entered into an Administration Agreement, with the Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. The Administrator arranges office space for the Companies and provides office equipment and administrative services necessary to conduct their respective day-to-day operations pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Operating Company reimburses the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations to the Companies under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing administrative, finance, and compliance functions, and the compensation of the Operating Company’s chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, as amended and restated, and further restricted by the Operating Company, expenses payable to the Administrator by the Operating Company as well as other direct and indirect expenses (excluding interest, other credit facility expense, trading expenses and management and incentive fees) has been capped at $3.5 million for the time period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 and capped at $4.25 million for the time period from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.

 

·                  The Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have entered into a royalty-free Trademark License Agreement, as amended, with New Mountain Capital, pursuant to which New Mountain Capital has agreed to grant the Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “New Mountain” and “New Mountain Finance”.

 

In addition, NMFC and the Operating Company have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of their respective officers and directors. These officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by the 1940 Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.

 

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with the Operating Company’s investment mandates. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for the Operating Company and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff, and consistent with the Investment Adviser’s allocation procedures.

 

Concurrently with the IPO, NMFC sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in the Concurrent Private Placement.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Operating Company is subject to certain financial market risks, such as interest rate fluctuations. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, certain of the loans held in the Operating Company’s portfolio had floating interest rates. As of June 30, 2013, approximately 88% of investments (excluding investments on non-accrual, revolvers, and non-interest bearing equity investments) represent floating-rate investments with a LIBOR floor (includes investments bearing prime interest rate contracts) and approximately 12% of investments represent fixed-rate investments. Additionally, the Operating Company’s senior secured revolving credit facilities are also subject to floating interest rates and are currently paid based on one-month floating LIBOR rates.

Table of Contents

 

The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income and expenses, should interest rates increase by 100, 200 or 300 basis points, or decrease by 25 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from the Operating Company’s portfolio of investments held on June 30, 2013. Interest expense is calculated based on the terms of the Operating Company’s two outstanding revolving credit facilities. For the Operating Company’s floating rate credit facilities, the Operating Company uses the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2013. Interest expense on the Operating Company’s floating rate credit facilities are calculated using the interest rate as of June 30, 2013, adjusted for the hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on the Operating Company’s portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of June 30, 2013. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of June 30, 2013, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates.

 

Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

(a)                                 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of June 30, 2013 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

 

(b)                                 Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

Management has not identified any change in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting.
