NEW YORK, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MidCap Financial Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:MFIC) or the "Company," today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company's net investment income was $0.44 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.45 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company's net asset value ("NAV") was $15.10 per share as of September 30, 2024.
On November 6, 2024, the Board declared a dividend of $0.38 per share payable on December 26, 2024 to stockholders of record as of December 10, 2024.
Mr. Tanner Powell, the Company's Chief Executive Officer stated, "This quarter MFIC successfully closed its mergers with AFT and AIF which we believe will create significant long-term value for our stockholders. Our focus is on exiting the acquired non-directly originated assets and prudently deploying the investment capacity created from the mergers into directly originated middle market loans. We are fortunate to have access to all the necessary origination to deploy this capital, thanks to the significant volume of loans originated by MidCap Financial, a leading middle market lender with one of the largest direct lending teams in the U.S. and which is managed by Apollo." Mr. Powell added, "For the quarter, we produced solid net investment income despite the modest amount of fee and prepayment income, reflecting the impact of the total return feature in our incentive fee structure, which resulted in a partial incentive fee for the quarter. NAV declined during the quarter due to the $0.20 per share special distribution paid in connection with the mergers as well as a modest net loss on the portfolio."
