RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Investment Income
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, investment income was $37.7 million and $103.6 million, respectively, which was attributable to $30.4 million and $88.6 million from first lien secured debt and $7.3 million and $15.0 million from other investments, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, investment income was $25.7 million and $76.7 million, respectively, which was attributable to $21.1 million and $64.0 million from first lien secured debt and $4.6 million and $12.7 million from other investments, respectively. The increase in investment income compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the increase in the cost yield of our debt portfolio and a dividend related to our equity investment in Dominion Voting Systems.
Expenses
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, expenses totaled $19.2 million and $54.6 million, respectively and were comprised of: $10.0 million and $29.6 million of debt related interest and expenses, $2.8 million and $8.6 million of base management fees, $4.6 million and $12.2 million of performance-based incentive fees, $1.6 million and $3.3 million of general and administrative expenses and $0.2 million and $0.8 million of taxes. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, expenses totaled $13.9 million and $40.8 million, respectively, and were comprised of: $7.4 and $20.7 million of debt related interest and expenses, $3.1 million and $8.9 million of base management fees, $2.6 million and $8.5 million of performance-based incentive fees, $0.8 million and $2.4 million of administrative expenses and $0.1 million and $0.3 million of taxes. The increase in expenses compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the increase in financing costs of our debt liabilities and an increase in performance-based incentive fees as a result of higher pre-incentive fee net investment income.
Net Investment Income
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, net investment income totaled $18.5 million and $49.0 million, or $0.36 and $1.02 per share, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, net investment income totaled $11.8 million and $35.9 million, or $0.29 and $0.90 per share, respectively. The increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in investment income partially offset by an increase in expenses compared to the same period in the prior year.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, net realized gains (losses) totaled $(6.1) million and $(13.8) million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, net realized gains (losses) totaled $0.7 million and $(11.6) million, respectively. The change in net realized gains (losses) compared to the same periods in the prior year 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 and Debt
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $(1.1) million and $(22.0) million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $(17.7) million and $(3.7) million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, our net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(35.2) million and $(13.1) million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the operating performance of the portfolio companies within our portfolio and changes in the capital market conditions of our investments.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, our Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $5.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of less than $(0.1) million and $(1.3) million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes totaled $2.6 million and $(1.5) million, respectively. The net change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $5.6 million and $11.2 million, or $0.11 and $0.23 per share, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $(5.1) million and $16.6 million, or $(0.12) and $0.42 per share, respectively. The increase or decrease from operations compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to operating performance of our portfolio and changes in capital market conditions of our investments along with change in cost yield of our debt portfolio and costs of financing.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from cash flows from operations, including income earned, proceeds from investment sales and repayments, and proceeds of securities offerings and debt financings. 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 our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives and operations.
As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we had $64.4 million and $169.7 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments, was 7.5% and 4.9%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we had $301.6 million and $196.3 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, as applicable, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.
As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we had cash equivalents of $59.1 million and $47.9 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, our operating activities provided cash of $65.4 million and our financing activities used cash of $54.2 million. Our operating activities provided cash primarily from our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily to fund repayments under our Credit Facility and principal repayment of our 2023 Notes, partially offset by proceeds from our equity offering.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, our operating activities used cash of $111.6 million and our financing activities provided cash of $101.7 million. Our operating activities used cash primarily to fund our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from the issuance of $85 million of our 2026 Add-on Notes, borrowings under our Credit Facility and proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we issued 5,805,484 shares of common stock through the ATM Program at an average price of $11.03 per share, raising $64.1 million of net proceeds after commissions to the sales agents and inclusive of proceeds from the Investment Adviser to ensure that all shares were sold at or above NAV. In connection with the share issuance, we expensed $0.5 million of deferred offering costs incurred related to establishing the ATM Program to additional paid in capital.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, we issued 5,891,661 shares of common stock through the ATM Program at an average price of $11.04 per share, raising $65.1 million of net proceeds after commissions to the sales agents and inclusive of proceeds from the Investment Adviser to ensure that all shares were sold at or above NAV.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Subsequent to June 30, 2023, we issued 3,197,403 shares of common stock through the ATM Program that were sold prior to the quarter end at an average price of $11.01 per share, raising $35.2 million of net proceeds after commissions to the sales agents and inclusive of proceeds from the Investment Adviser to ensure that all shares were sold at or above NAV.
On July 31, 2023, the Credit Facility's commitment was increased by $20 million due to the inclusion of a new lender to the facility. The additional commitment increases the Credit Facility's total commitment amount to $386 million.
DISTRIBUTIONS
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, we declared distributions of $0.3025 and $0.8775 per share for total distributions of $15.4 million and $42.4 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, we declared distributions of $0.285 and $0.855 per share for total distributions of $11.8 million and $34.1 million, respectively. 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.
