Management Commentary
Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Portman Ridge, stated, “We are pleased with our year end results and believe we are well-positioned as we look ahead to the new year. The year-over-year increase in net assets per share is a reflection of the strength of our portfolio. Our solid performance has allowed us to increase our quarterly distribution for a second quarter in a row to $0.63 per share. Overall, we have had a successful year and our goal is to continue to improve our portfolio performance, lower our cost of capital, and reduce expenses relative to our asset base. Furthermore, the expected speed and extent in the rise of interest rates should improve our gross investment income in the coming quarters, as the majority of our portfolio has a floating rate. We also expect future portfolio investments to predominately be floating rate investments.”

Interest income from investments in debt securities for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased to $63.8 million as compared to $31.4 million in the prior year. The increase in interest income was primarily driven by additions to the Debt Securities Portfolio through merger transactions, as well as an increase in the contractual interest rates on loans.

Interest Rate Volatility
The Company’s investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates.
As of December 31, 2021, approximately 84{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} of the Company’s Debt Securities Portfolio were either floating rate with a spread to an interest rate index such as LIBOR or the prime rate. 75{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} of these floating rate loans contain LIBOR floors ranging between 0.50{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} and 2.00{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996}.
As of December 31, 2021, Portman Ridge had approximately $352.4 million (par value) of borrowings outstanding, of which approximately 31{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} had a fixed rate and 69{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} had a floating rate. Portman Ridge expects future portfolio investments to predominately be floating rate investments.
In periods of rising or lowering interest rates, the cost of the portion of debt associated with the 4.875{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} Notes Due 2026 would remain the same5, given that this debt is at a fixed rate, while the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Generally, an increase in the base rate index for floating rate investment assets would increase gross investment income and a decrease in the base rate index for such assets would decrease gross investment income (in either case, such increase/decrease may be limited by interest rate floors/minimums for certain investment assets).

_______________________________________
1 The Company completed a Reverse Stock Split of 10 to 1 effective August 26, 2021. As a result, the share and per share amounts have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the split for all periods prior to August 26, 2021.
2 Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase price discount accounting in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance.
3 Core NII, or core net investment income, represents reported net investment income in accordance with U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase price discount accounting in connection with the GARS and HCAP mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting Core NII and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, Core NII is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, Core NII should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance.
4 Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. Portman Ridge believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $68.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial condition.
