"We are very pleased that Morningstar DBRS, which has rated Prospect for many years, has reaffirmed our investment grade credit ratings," said Grier Eliasek, President and Chief Operating Officer at Prospect.

“Our strong business profile is supported by a multi-decade track record, over $21 billion invested across 400+ investments, $4.7 billion in cumulative principal bond repayments, diversified access to multiple capital markets including our $2.1 billion credit facility with 48 institutional banks, and disciplined deal execution with a less than 1% book to look ratio out of over 3,000 origination opportunities per annum," said Mr. Eliasek.

"With low 0.40x debt to equity leverage, high employee ownership, strong counterparty relationships, a majority senior secured loan book, low 0.4% nonaccruals, and a 13% unlevered investment level gross cash internal rate of return for exited investments as of our latest reporting period, we believe our platform is well-positioned for the future,” said Mr. Eliasek.

Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows related to a particular investment equal to zero. IRR is gross of general expenses not related to specific investments as these expenses are not allocable to specific investments. Investments are considered to be exited when the original investment objective has been achieved through the receipt of cash and/or non-cash consideration upon the repayment of a debt investment or sale of an investment or through the determination that no further consideration was collectible and, thus, a loss may have been realized. Prospect’s gross IRR calculations are unaudited. Information regarding internal rates of return are historical results relating to Prospect’s past performance and are not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured.
