In October 2014, the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued SEC IM Guidance Update No. 2014-11, Investment Company Consolidation (“IM Update 2014-11”), which recommends that business development companies (“BDCs”) consolidate wholly-owned subsidiaries when the design and purpose of the subsidiary is to act as an extension of the BDC's investment operations and to facilitate the execution of the BDC's investment strategy. In October 2014, American Capital’s Board of Directors approved a preliminary plan to transfer most of American Capital’s investment assets to two newly formed BDCs, which will be implemented through dividends of the new BDCs' shares to American Capital's shareholders. The board approval marked a change in American Capital’s intent with respect to European Capital, because it is no longer considered a vehicle for third-party capital but rather is viewed as an extension of American Capital’s investment operations. As a result, in accordance with IM Update 2014-11, American Capital has consolidated European Capital’s financial results as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2014 with its financial results for the same periods. The day one financial impact of the European Capital consolidation was as follows:

•
$0.06 per share increase in NAV, or $16 million
ü
$87 million of unrealized appreciation related to the difference between the fair value of American Capital's investment in European Capital and European Capital's NAV as of September 30, 2014
ü
$71 million tax provision due to the difference between the removal of the deferred tax asset previously recorded on American Capital's equity investment in European Capital and the deferred tax asset on European Capital's investment portfolio that was recorded upon consolidation
◦
The $71 million tax provision represents an accounting adjustment only and does not reflect a substantive change in American Capital's expectations of the amount or timing of future cash tax payments since European Capital has been included in our consolidated U.S. tax returns since inception

The impact of the European Capital consolidation on the American Capital consolidated results as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was as follows:

•
No impact to NAV from Q4 2014
ü    $0.14 per share increase from net earnings, or $38 million
ü    $0.14 per share decrease from foreign exchange cumulative translation adjustment, net of tax, or $38 million
•
$0.01 per diluted share increase in NOI in Q4 2014, or $4 million
•
$0.14 per diluted share increase in net earnings in Q4 2014, or $38 million
•
$386 million in cash proceeds from realizations in Q4 2014
•
$39 million in new committed investments in Q4 2014

“Since our board approved our plan to spin off two new BDCs to our shareholders, we have been working with our advisors and have had discussions with our regulators concerning a variety of matters related to the spin off. We have made good progress and are awaiting important feedback to determine the appropriate path to proceed to execute the transaction,” said Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to adjust our assets so that the two new BDCs will be able to pay market rate dividends and so that the asset composition of the new BDCs will meet statutory requirements.”

“We had a very successful 2014,” continued Mr. Wilkus. “We increased total earning assets under management by 19%, raising five new funds under ACAM management. We invested $1.9 billion in a highly diverse set of Senior Floating Rate Loans, plus we invested $1.6 billion in Sponsor Finance, Structured Products, ACAM and fund development, all toward improving our net operating income, expanding ACAM and advancing our spin off plans. At year end, Senior Floating Rate Loans represented 22% and equity in middle market companies represented 12% of total assets. As a result of our efforts in 2014, we increased NAV per share by 8% and net earnings per diluted share by 154% to $434 million."

PORTFOLIO VALUATION
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, net unrealized depreciation, before income taxes, totaled $150 million. The primary components of the net unrealized depreciation were:

•
$179 million of reversal of prior period unrealized appreciation associated with net realized gains on portfolio investments;
•
$29 million net unrealized depreciation from American Capital One Stop Buyouts® as a result of declining portfolio company performance primarily in one portfolio company offset by appreciation as a result of increased multiples and improved performance in portfolio companies; and
•
$8 million net unrealized depreciation in Senior Floating Rate Loans; partially offset by
•
$87 million unrealized appreciation due to the elimination of the discount to NAV on the consolidation of European Capital.

“During the quarter, the SEC updated guidance for investment company consolidation,” said John Erickson, Chief Financial Officer. “Under our strategic plan, we plan that future equity capital raises in Europe will be done via new funds and not by European Capital. Therefore, we concluded it was appropriate to consolidate ECAS under the updated SEC accounting guidance and did so during the quarter. As part of the consolidation, we recognized a $16 million net increase to NAV, comprised of $87 million of unrealized appreciation associated with the removal of the discount to the European Capital NAV as of September 30, 2013 and a $71 million tax provision, which does not reflect a substantive change in our expectations of the amount or timing of future cash tax payments but is required under GAAP due to the consolidation of European Capital.”

PORTFOLIO REALIZATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
In 2014, $2.8 billion of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments, including a $265 million dividend distribution from European Capital through September 30, 2014, $386 million from European Capital's investment portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $540 million of proceeds from the portfolio companies sold to ACE III, a new American Capital private equity fund, which closed on September 23, 2014. American Capital made $3.6 billion in new committed investments during the year, including $1.9 billion in Senior Floating Rate Loans. In the fourth quarter of 2014, $773 million of cash proceeds were received from realizations of portfolio investments, including $386 million from European Capital's investment portfolio. American Capital made $1.0 billion in new committed investments during the quarter, including $0.3 billion in Senior Floating Rate Loans.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company's investments in Senior Floating Rate Loans were diversified across 230 portfolio companies and 51 industries, with the average issuer concentration at 0.4% and no single company representing more than 1.7% of the Company's Senior Floating Rate Loans. The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company's Senior Floating Rate Loans as of December 31, 2014 was 4.4%, which was the same as of September 30, 2014. The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company's debt investments, excluding Senior Floating Rate Loans and European Capital's debt investments, as of December 31, 2014 was 9.3%, 20 basis points higher than the September 30, 2014 rate of 9.1% and 70 basis points lower than the December 31, 2013 rate of 10.0%. The weighted average effective interest rate on European Capital’s debt investments as of December 31, 2014 was 5.0%.

As of December 31, 2014, American Capital loans with a fair value of $116 million were on non-accrual, representing 3.5% of total American Capital loans at fair value, compared to $172 million fair value of non-accrual American Capital loans, or 5.7% of total American Capital loans at fair value as of September 30, 2014. The $56 million decrease in the fair value of American Capital loans on non-accrual was generally driven by net depreciation of existing non-accrual loans. Total American Capital loans on non-accrual were valued at 57.7% of cost at the end of the fourth quarter, a 9.5% decrease from the prior quarter. This is an estimate of the amount the Company expects to recover on non-accruing loans. The estimated loss on total loans at cost, defined as net accumulated depreciation on non-accrual loans plus realized losses on loans during the period, was $108 million, or 3.2%.

As of December 31, 2014, European Capital loans with a fair value of $32 million were on non-accrual, representing 8.9% of total European Capital loans at fair value. Total European Capital loans on non-accrual were valued at 33.3% of cost at the end of the fourth quarter. This is an estimate of the amount the Company expects to recover on non-accruing loans. The estimated loss on total loans at cost was $140 million, or 27.4%.

Due to changes in the composition of American Capital’s investment portfolio and market conditions, strategic reviews of its business were conducted in the fourth quarter of 2014, which resulted in the closing of one office and a workforce reduction of approximately 13% of its employees. As a result, a charge of approximately $19 million was recorded for the fourth quarter of 2014 related to accrued severance payments and stock based compensation charges associated with the workforce reduction.

Note:
Excludes portfolio companies of European Capital. For static pool statistics, American Capital’s investment in European Capital was treated as an exited investment at its net asset value on October 1, 2014, the date on which it was consolidated into American Capital.
1)
Static pool classification is based on the year the initial investment was made. Subsequent add-on investments are included in the static pool year of the original investment. There were no investments made in the 2009 and 2010 static pool years.
2)
Internal rate of return (“IRR”) calculations are based on a sequence of cash proceeds invested, cash realizations or non-cash consideration received, and the terminal value of an investment over time. For active investments, the terminal value is assumed to be the current fair value. For exited investments, the terminal value is the total cash realization received upon exit. Additionally, IRR calculations exclude securities traded but not yet settled at period end.
3)
IRR calculations are based on a sequence of cash proceeds invested, cash realizations or non-cash consideration received, and the terminal value of an investment over time. For exited investments, the terminal value is the total cash realization received upon exit. This includes fully exited investments of existing portfolio companies. Additionally, IRR calculations exclude securities traded but not yet settled at period end.
4)
Excludes investments in Structured Products.
5)
Excludes equity investments that are the result of conversions of debt and warrants received with the issuance of debt.
6)
Majority Owned Portfolio Company (“MOPC”) investments represent portfolio company investments in which American Capital, or its affiliates, have a fully diluted ownership percentage of 50% or more or have over 50% board representation at the portfolio company. Includes American Capital Asset Management, LLC prior to the consolidation of the collateralized loan obligations. Excludes our investment in European Capital through September 30, 2014.
7)
Represents committed investment amount at the time of origination.
8)
Adjusted EBITDA may reflect certain adjustments to the reported EBITDA of a portfolio company for non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items or other pro-forma items or events to normalize current earnings which a buyer may consider in a change in control transactions. These adjustments may be material and are highly subjective in nature. Portfolio company reported EBITDA is for the most recently available twelve months, or when appropriate, the forecasted twelve months or current annualized run-rate.
9)
Debt, which represents the debt and other liabilities senior to ACAS and the total of ACAS’s debt in each portfolio company’s debt capitalization, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. For portfolio companies with a nominal Adjusted EBITDA amount, the portfolio company’s maximum debt leverage is limited to 15 times Adjusted EBITDA.
10)
Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total cash interest expense of the portfolio company during the most recent twelve month period, or when appropriate as a result of a new debt capital structure, the forecasted twelve months.
11)
Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total scheduled principal amortization and total cash interest expense of the portfolio company during the most recent twelve month period, or when appropriate, the forecasted twelve months.
12)
Excludes investments in which we own only equity.
13)
Excludes investments in Structured Products, Senior Floating Rate Loans and our investment in European Capital through September 30, 2014.
