    Results of Operations

    Full Year

    For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, investment income totaled $77.1 million and $53.5 million, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the size of the Company’s income-producing portfolio resulting from its acquisition of Alcentra Capital Corporation on January 31, 2020 and organic net deployment.

    For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, total expenses, including income and excise taxes, totaled $27.2 million and $21.8 million, respectively. The increase was driven by higher management fees and interest expense in connection with a growing investment portfolio.

    Fourth Quarter

    For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, total expenses, including income and excise taxes, totaled $7.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The increase was driven by higher interest expense in connection with the financing needs of a growing investment portfolio.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $14.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and $139.9 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities, subject to borrowing base and other limitations.

    Endnotes

    1) Yield excludes investments on non-accrual status.
       
    2) Unitranche loans are first lien loans that may extend deeper in a company’s capital structure than traditional first lien debt and may provide for a waterfall of cash flow priority among different lenders in the unitranche loan. In certain instances, the Company may find another lender to provide the “first out” portion of such loan and retain the “last out” portion of such loan, in which case, the “first out” portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the “last out” portion that the Company would continue to hold. In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the “last out” portion earns a higher interest rate.
