For Immediate Release
May 5, 2020

TCG BDC, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Declares Second Quarter 2020 Dividend of $0.37 Per Share

New York - TCG BDC, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” “TCG BDC” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CGBD) today announced its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Linda Pace, TCG BDC’s Chief Executive Officer said, "The world continues to deal with an unprecedented health and economic crisis, and our thoughts are with all front line workers. TCG BDC has performed very well during the early stages of this crisis. In the month of April we have acted proactively and decisively, pursuing select asset sales and raising preferred equity on attractive terms. These actions help to both bring our net financial leverage back in-line with our targeted range and also reinforce the flexibility of our balance sheet as we manage through a highly uncertain environment.  As a result, we remain in a strong position to both support our portfolio and to invest in new opportunities.”

As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser has developed risk policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments and rates each of them based on the following categories, which we refer to as “Internal Risk Ratings”:
Internal Risk Ratings Definitions
Rating
  
Definition
1
  
Performing—Low Risk: Borrower is operating more than 10% ahead of the base case.
 
 
2
  
Performing—Stable Risk: Borrower is operating within 10% of the base case (above or below). This is the initial rating assigned to all new borrowers.
 
 
3
  
Performing—Management Notice: Borrower is operating more than 10% below the base case. A financial covenant default may have occurred, but there is a low risk of payment default.
 
 
4
  
Watch List: Borrower is operating more than 20% below the base case and there is a high risk of covenant default, or it may have already occurred. Payments are current although subject to greater uncertainty, and there is moderate to high risk of payment default.
 
 
5
  
Watch List—Possible Loss: Borrower is operating more than 30% below the base case. At the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have occurred. Loss of principal is possible.
 
 
6
  
Watch List—Probable Loss: Borrower is operating more than 40% below the base case, and at the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have already occurred. Additionally, the prospects for improvement in the borrower’s situation are sufficiently negative that impairment of some or all principal is probable.
Our Investment Adviser’s risk rating model is based on evaluating portfolio company performance in comparison to the base case when considering certain credit metrics including, but not limited to, adjusted EBITDA and net senior leverage as well as specific events including, but not limited to, default and impairment.
Our Investment Adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. In connection with our quarterly valuation process, our Investment Adviser reviews our investment ratings on a regular basis. The following table summarizes the Internal Risk Ratings of our debt portfolio as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Consolidated Results of Operations
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Total investment income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $50,545 and $53,465, respectively. This $2,920 net decrease during the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was due to a decrease in interest income primarily due to lower LIBOR, a decrease in income recognized from the acceleration of OID due to lower repayments, and lower total income from Credit Fund.

Total expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $26,573 and $28,088, respectively. This $1,515 net decrease during the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to a decrease in credit facility fees, base management fees and incentive fees, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net realized loss and change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $147,260. This was primarily driven by higher market spreads related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other changes in other inputs utilized under our valuation methodology, including, but not limited to, enterprise value multiples, leverage multiples and borrower ratings, and the impact of exits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $65,525, secured notes payable (before debt issuance costs) of $449,200, secured borrowings outstanding of $701,609, and senior unsecured notes of $115,000. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $261,391 of remaining unfunded commitments and $127,329 available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facilities, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

On May 5, 2020, the Company announced it had issued $50 million in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, purchased by an affiliate of The Carlyle Group, Inc. The primary use of proceeds from the issuance will be to pay down outstanding debt. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pays dividends, at the Company’s option, at a rate of either 7% (to the extent paid in cash) or 9% (to the extent paid in kind). The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible beginning six months after the closing date into shares of the Company’s common stock at an implied conversion price of $9.50, or 57% above the current 30-day VWAP.  The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Company after 3 years, or in the event of certain other events. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may request redemption after seven years, and such redemption may be satisfied - at the Company’s option - in either shares of common stock or other consideration. 

Dividend

On May 4, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.37, which is payable on July 17, 2020 to stockholders of record on June 30, 2020.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call at 11:00 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 to discuss these quarterly financial results. The call and webcast will be available on the TCG BDC website at tcgbdc.com.
