RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Investment Income
Investment income decreased to $187.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $188.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our portfolio’s weighted average yield at amortized cost, partially offset by an increase in our investment portfolio.
Expenses
Total expenses, after the effect of management and incentive fee waivers, increased to $60.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $49.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which was primarily due to an increase in net management fees, professional fees and interest expense. Net management fees increased as a result of an increase in total assets period over period. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by an increase in average daily borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rate period over period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2020, we had $0.2 billion in cash and restricted cash, $4.3 billion in total principal value of debt outstanding, and $1.4 billion of undrawn capacity on our credit facilities. The Company’s weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 3.3% and 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Ending debt to equity was 0.72x and 0.60x during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
COVID-19 Developments
Through the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s operating results have been impacted by the current economic and financial market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 on our portfolio companies. For additional information about the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our results of operations and financial condition, please refer to the “COVID-19 Developments” section and additional disclosure in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
