    Third Fiscal Quarter 2022 Operating Results

    For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, Capital Southwest reported total investment income of $22.3 million, compared to $20.3 million in the prior quarter. The increase in investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in average debt investments outstanding and an increase in prepayment fees received from portfolio companies.

    For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, total operating expenses (excluding interest expense) were $5.8 million, compared to $4.9 million in the prior quarter. The increase in expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in bonus accrual based on the Company's anticipated year end performance.

    For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, interest expense was $4.7 million as compared to $5.4 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the redemption of the $140 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2024 Notes (as defined below), which had an interest rate of 5.375%, and the issuance of the $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2026 Notes (as defined below), which have an interest rate of 3.375%.

    For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, total pre-tax net investment income was $11.8 million, compared to $10.0 million in the prior quarter.

    For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, Capital Southwest had a tax benefit of $0.1 million as compared to a tax provision of $0.3 million in the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily related to activity in our Taxable Subsidiary.

    During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, Capital Southwest recorded total net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $0.7 million, compared to $2.8 million in the prior quarter. For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, this included net realized and unrealized gains on equity investments of $4.8 million, net realized and unrealized losses on debt investments of $2.1 million and net unrealized losses on I-45 SLF LLC of $2.0 million. The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $12.6 million for the quarter, compared to a net decrease in net assets of $4.6 million in the prior quarter.

    The Company’s NAV at December 31, 2021 was $16.19 per share, as compared to $16.36 at September 30, 2021. The decrease in NAV per share from the prior quarter is due to the supplemental dividend of $0.50 per share paid to shareholders during the quarter, offset by net realized and unrealized appreciation on investments and the issuance of common stock at a premium to NAV per share under the Equity ATM Program (as described below).

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    At December 31, 2021, Capital Southwest had approximately $18.7 million in unrestricted cash and money market balances, $190.0 million of total debt outstanding on the Credit Facility, $138.6 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of the 4.50% Notes due January 2026 outstanding, $146.4 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of the October 2026 Notes and $28.0 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of SBA Debentures (as defined below) outstanding. As of December 31, 2021, Capital Southwest had $141.7 million in available borrowings under the Credit Facility and $11.0 million in undrawn SBA Debenture commitments. The regulatory debt to equity ratio at the end of the quarter was 1.23 to 1.

    The Company has an "at-the-market" offering (the "Equity ATM Program") which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through sales agents, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000. On May 26, 2021, the Company (i) increased the maximum amount of shares of its common stock to be sold through the Equity ATM Program to $250,000,000 from $100,000,000 and (ii) reduced the commission paid to the sales agents for the Equity ATM Program to 1.5% from 2.0% of the gross sales price of shares of the Company's common stock sold through the sales agents pursuant to the Equity ATM Program on and after May 26, 2021.

    During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 616,156 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $25.97 per share, raising $16.0 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds were $15.8 million after commissions to the sales agents on shares sold. Cumulative to date, the Company has sold 7,140,363 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $22.17, raising $158.3 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds were $155.5 million after commissions to the sales agents on shares sold. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has $91.7 million available under the Equity ATM Program.

    In August 2021, the Company issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.375% Notes due 2026 (the "Existing October 2026 Notes"). The Existing October 2026 Notes were issued at a price of 99.418% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing October 2026 Notes, resulting in a yield-to-maturity of 3.5%. In November 2021, the Company issued an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2026 Notes (the "Additional October 2026 Notes" together with the Existing October 2026 Notes, the "October 2026 Notes"). The Additional October 2026 Notes were issued at a price of 99.993% of the aggregate principal amount, resulting in a yield-to-maturity of approximately 3.375% at issuance. The Additional October 2026 Notes are treated as a single series with the Existing October 2026 Notes under the indenture and had the same terms as the Existing October 2026 Notes. The October 2026 Notes mature on October 1, 2026 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time prior to July 1, 2026, at par plus a "make-whole" premium, and thereafter at par. The October 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.375% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2022. The October 2026 Notes are the direct unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with our other outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness and are effectively or structurally subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including borrowings under our Credit Facility and the SBA Debentures.

    In August 2016, CSWC entered into a senior secured credit facility (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Facility”) to provide additional liquidity to support its investment and operational activities. The Credit Facility contains an accordion feature that allows CSWC to increase the total commitments under the Credit Facility up to $400 million from new and existing lenders on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments. On August 9, 2021, CSWC entered into the Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). Prior to the Credit Agreement, (1) borrowings under the Credit Facility accrued interest on a per annum basis at a rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.50% with no LIBOR floor, and (2) the total borrowing capacity was $340 million with commitments from a diversified group of eleven lenders. The Credit Agreement (1) decreased the total borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility to $335 million with commitments from a diversified group of ten lenders, (2) reduced the interest rate on borrowings to LIBOR plus 2.15% with no LIBOR floor and removed conditions related thereto as previously set forth in the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, and (3) extended the end of the Credit Facility's revolver period from December 21, 2022 to August 9, 2025 and extended the final maturity from December 21, 2023 to August 9, 2026. The Credit Agreement also modified certain covenants in the Credit Facility, including, among other things, to increase the minimum obligors’ net worth test from $180 million to $200 million. CSWC pays unused commitment fees of 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, based on utilization, on the unused lender commitments under the Credit Facility.

    On April 20, 2021, our wholly owned subsidiary, Capital Southwest SBIC I, LP (“SBIC I”), received a license from the SBA to operate as a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") under Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended. The SBIC license allows SBIC I to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures ("SBA Debentures"), subject to the issuance of a leverage commitment by the SBA. SBA debentures are loans issued to an SBIC which have interest payable semi-annually and a ten-year maturity. The interest rate is fixed shortly after issuance at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten-year maturities. Current statutes and regulations permit SBIC I to borrow up to $175 million in SBA Debentures with at least $87.5 million in regulatory capital, subject to SBA approval. On May 25, 2021, SBIC I received a leverage commitment from the SBA in the amount of $40.0 million to be issued on or prior to September 30, 2025.

    In November 2015, I-45 SLF entered into a senior secured credit facility led by Deutsche Bank. The I-45 credit facility has total commitments outstanding of $150 million from a group of four bank lenders, which is scheduled to mature in March 2026. Borrowings under the I-45 credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.15%. As of December 31, 2021, I-45 SLF had $109.5 million in borrowings outstanding under its credit facility.

    Share Repurchase Program

    On July 28, 2021, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $20 million of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market at certain thresholds below its NAV per share, in accordance with guidelines specified in Rules 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On August 31, 2021, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement, which became effective immediately, and the Company shall cease purchasing its common stock under the share repurchase program upon the earlier of, among other things: (1) the date on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares equals $20 million including, without limitation, all applicable fees, costs and expenses; or (2) upon written notice by the Company to the broker that the share repurchase agreement is terminated. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program.

    Declared Dividend of $0.48 Per Share for Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

    On January 26, 2022, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.48 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

    The Company's dividend will be payable as follows:

    Record Date: March 15, 2022

    When declaring dividends, the Board reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from net investment income under generally accepted accounting principles. The final determination of taxable income for each year, as well as the tax attributes for dividends in such year, will be made after the close of the tax year.

    Capital Southwest maintains a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its registered stockholders who hold their shares with Capital Southwest’s transfer agent and registrar, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company.  Under the DRIP, if the Company declares a dividend, registered stockholders who have opted into the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of Capital Southwest common stock.
