Distribution Coverage and the NAV Decline

NAV per share of USD 8.32 compares with USD 8.73 at year-end. Total distributions of USD 0.35 per share exceeded NII per share of USD 0.16, and NII was also below the USD 0.23 regular distribution, both calculated comparisons. The supplemental USD 0.12 was declared alongside a regular payment. NII to average net asset value was 7.4% annualized against 11.7%. The income incentive fee was nil against USD 2.1 million, while the base management fee rose to USD 3.6 million. Nine-month NII was USD 24.0 million, or USD 0.59, against USD 32.3 million, or USD 0.80, and nine-month total distributions were USD 0.81 against USD 0.83. NII to average total assets was 3.4% annualized against 5.1%.

Portfolio Quality, Non-Accruals and Funding Mix

The portfolio included 98 Debt investments with a fair value of USD 573.9 million, 135 Warrant investments and 77 direct Equity and related investments. Non-accrual debt investments had a cost of USD 38.0 million and a fair value of USD 16.3 million. Fair value was USD 32.0 million below cost across the portfolio, a calculated gap. TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC (NYSE:TPVG) valued all but three public equity positions using Level 3 unobservable inputs, so marks depend on estimates. The weighted average Loan to Enterprise value ratio at Underwriting was 6.7% against 7.4% at year-end. Four portfolio companies were publicly traded, down from six. The extract reviewed gave no leverage ratio, so debt and asset coverage are not covered here.

Where Things Stand

NAV fell because realized losses of USD 26.4 million and a lower income stream outweighed unrealized gains. TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC (NYSE:TPVG) still declared USD 0.35 per share of distributions, more than the USD 0.16 earned in NII, which is a calculated comparison and not a judgment on sustainability. Non-accruals and the gap between cost and fair value remain central. Next markers are the next distribution declaration, the NAV at year-end and the pace of realizations.
