PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
“PFLT continues to be well positioned as a leading provider of consistent, credible first lien capital to the core middle market. Due to the relative lack of competition in the core middle market, lenders can generally achieve higher returns with lower risk,” said Arthur Penn, Chairman and CEO. “Additionally, PFLT is poised to grow Net Investment Income through growing its balance sheet to its target leverage ratio, growing the PSSL joint venture and rotating equity investments in its successful equity co-investment portfolio.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On October 6, 2021, we issued an additional $85 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% Notes due 2026 (the “Add-On Notes”) in an add-on offering (the “Add-On Offering”) pursuant to the Base Indenture, dated March 23, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated March 23, 2021, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). In connection with the Add-On Offering, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company, PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Truist Securities, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named on Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement.
The Add-On Notes constitute a further issuance of the $100 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes issued by the Company on March 23, 2021 (the “Existing Notes”) under the Indenture.
The Add-On Notes are treated as a single series with the Existing Notes and have the same terms as the Existing Notes, other than the issue date and the offering price. The Add-On Notes have the same CUSIP number and are fungible and rank equally with the Existing Notes. Upon issuance of the Add-On Notes, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.25% notes due 2026 is $185 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Investment Income
Investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $21.6 million and $21.8 million, respectively, and was primarily attributable to $18.6 million and $19.3 million from first lien secured debt and $3.0 million and $2.5 million from other investments, respectively.
Investment income for the year ended September 30, 2021 was $82.7 million and was attributable to $72.1 million from first lien secured debt and $10.6 million from other investments. The decrease in investment income compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in the size of our portfolio and in the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).
Investment income for the year ended September 30, 2020 was $95.5 million and was attributable to $86.8 million from first lien secured debt and $8.7 million from other investments.
Expenses
Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $12.3 million and $10.3 million, respectively. Base management fee totaled $2.7 million and $2.8 million, incentive fee totaled $0.6 million and $2.1 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $8.5 million (including $2.9 million attributable to fees associated with entering into the New Credit Facility) and $5.5 million, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.4 million and $1.0 million and provision for taxes totaled $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the same periods.
Expenses for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $43.1 million and $52.1 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $10.7 million and $11.4 million, incentive fee totaled $5.3 million and $9.3 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $24.5 million (including $2.9 million attributable to fees associated with entering into the New Credit Facility) and $27.1 million, general and administrative expenses totaled $2.1 million and $3.9 million and provision for taxes totaled $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the same periods. The decrease in expenses compared to the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in management fees under our Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Advisor and debt related interest and expenses.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income totaled $9.3 million, or $0.24 per share, and $10.3 million, or $0.27 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net investment income totaled $39.6 million, or $1.02 per share, and $43.4 million, or $1.12 per share, for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in net investment income compared to the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in the size of our portfolio and in LIBOR.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
Sales and repayments of investments for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $136.7 million and $49.7 million, respectively. Net realized gain (losses) totaled $2.5 million and $(4.7) million for the same periods, respectively.
Sales and repayments of investments for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $702.1 million and $396.9 million, respectively. Net realized losses totaled $12.8 million and $12.7 million for the same periods, respectively. The change in realized losses was primarily due to changes in the market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized.
Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we reported a net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on investments of $(7.5) million and $19.9 million, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $41.3 million and $(26.5) million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, our net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $11.0 million and $(29.9) million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on our investments for the year ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions as well as the financial performance of certain portfolio companies primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, including “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Developments” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” therein.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our Credit Facility and 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of $(0.3) million and $8.6 million, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of $(11.6) million and less than $14.2 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, our net unrealized depreciation on our Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes totaled $7.2 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized depreciation for the year ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.
Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
Net change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $4.0 million, or $0.10 per share, and $17.0 million, or $0.44 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $56.5 million, or $1.46 per share, and $18.4 million, or $0.47 per share, for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net assets from operations for the year ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year was primarily due to appreciation of the portfolio primarily driven by the recovery from the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our ability to comply with the covenants of the Credit Facility, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, including “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Developments” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” therein.
The annualized weighted average cost of debt for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment on the Credit Facility, amendment costs and debt issuance costs, were 3.9% and 3.7%, respectively (excluding amendment and debt issuance costs, such amounts are 3.4% and 3.7%, respectively). As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had $80.6 million and $211.4 million of unused borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.
As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, PennantPark Floating Rate Funding I, LLC (“Funding I”), had $219.4 million and $308.6 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, respectively. The Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 2.3% and 2.2%, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments, as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had cash equivalents of $49.8 million and $57.5 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.
Our operating activities provided cash of $49.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2021, and our financing activities used cash of $56.3 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily for paying down our Credit Facility and paying distributions to stockholders.
Our operating activities used cash of $4.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2020, and our financing activities used cash of $0.9 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily for paying down our Credit Facility and paying distributions to stockholders.
DISTRIBUTIONS
During both years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we declared distributions of $1.14 per share for total distributions of $44.2 million. We monitor available net investment income to determine if a return of capital for tax purposes may occur for the fiscal year. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, stockholders will be notified of the portion of those distributions deemed to be a tax return of capital. Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders subject to information reporting on Form 1099-DIV after the end of each calendar year and in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
