Tremor Video IPO
On June 26, 2013, Tremor Video, Inc. completed the pricing of its IPO selling 7.5 million shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. The shares began trading the following day on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "TRMR."
Tremor Video was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in New York. It is an online video technology and advertising company that provides video advertising solutions to major brand advertisers and publishers of Web videos.
Keating Capital purchased shares of Tremor Video's Series F convertible preferred stock for $4 million on September 6, 2011. Based on the special Series F conversion rights upon an IPO, Keating Capital received approximately 599,998 shares of common stock upon conversion, with each share of common stock having a cost basis of $6.67. As of June 30, 2013, Keating Capital's investment in Tremor Video had a fair value of approximately $4.9 million (taking into account a 10% discount for the post-IPO lockup restrictions) compared to the March 31, 2013 fair value of approximately $3.9 million. The lockup restrictions on the Tremor Video common shares held by Keating Capital expire in late December 2013.
Tremor Video is the fourth portfolio company (out of a total of 20 portfolio company investments) that has successfully completed an IPO since Keating Capital's first portfolio company investment in January 2010. The disposition of Keating Capital's interest in Corsair during the second quarter was made as part of a sale of a controlling stake to a private equity firm. Corsair had previously attempted to complete its IPO in May 2012 shortly after the Facebook IPO fiasco.
Weighted-Average Holding Period of 1.6 Years
As of June 30, 2013, the weighted-average holding period of Keating Capital's 16 portfolio companies was 1.6 years.
Based on information received from portfolio companies, the Company believes that more than half of its 15 private portfolio companies could complete an IPO or sale transaction during 2014, although a majority of these are expected to occur in the second half of 2014. However, there can be no assurance that any of these private portfolio companies will complete an IPO or sale transaction in 2014, or at all.
Stock Repurchase Program
During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 159,996 shares of its common stock for approximately $1.0 million, or an average price of $6.43 per share. The shares repurchased in the second quarter were made at a 20% weighted-average discount to net asset value ("NAV") per share.
Since the inception of the stock repurchase program in May 2012, the Company has repurchased 311,555 shares of its common stock for approximately $2.1 million, or an average price of $6.64 per share. The weighted-average discount to NAV for all repurchased shares was 18%.
The Company believes the stock repurchase program continues to be an important part of its strategy to reduce the current NAV discount, even though these repurchases decrease the capital available for investment and increase the Company's operating expense ratio.
Capitalization
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had 8,972,226 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. There are no options, warrants, or other classes of securities issued or outstanding. Additionally, the Company had no debt as of June 30, 2013.
Results of Operations and Balance Sheet
Decrease in Net Asset Value for the Second Quarter
As of June 30, 2013, the total fair value of Keating Capital's 16 portfolio company investments was $52.7 million. The Company also had cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million, or $2.07 per share. During the second quarter, the Company received $14.9 million from the proceeds of the sale of three portfolio companies. The Company's net assets at June 30, 2013 were $69.9 million.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company's NAV was $7.79 per share—a decrease of $0.21 per share from the first quarter NAV of $8.00. The components that typically drive the changes in NAV each quarter are: (i) net investment losses, effectively the Company's operating expenses; (ii) realized gains/losses; (iii) the change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on portfolio company investments, and (iv) cash distributions paid to stockholders or capital transactions. For the second quarter:
The Company had net investment loss—effectively the Company's operating expenses (including base management fees and accrued incentive fees)—of approximately $1.3 million, or a loss of $0.15 per share. The Company's operating expenses, excluding base management fees, accrued incentive fees and costs related to its withdrawn registration statement, were approximately $403,000 in the second quarter. On May 20, 2013, the Company withdrew its registration statement for an underwritten follow-on offering because it was determined an underwritten offering was not feasible at the time. As a result, the Company charged-off approximately $290,000 of the deferred offering costs related to legal, audit and printing costs, which are included in the second quarter operating expenses.
The Company had net realized gains of approximately $4.4 million during the quarter, or an increase of $0.48 per share.
The Company had a net decrease in unrealized appreciation on its portfolio company investments of approximately $3.1 million, or a decrease of $0.34 per share, as a result of the following:
A reversal of the March 31, 2013 net unrealized appreciation of approximately $4.7 million on the three portfolio companies that were sold in the second quarter: Corsair, Solazyme and LifeLock.
Write-downs during the quarter of approximately $2.4 million in four portfolio companies.
Write-ups during the quarter of approximately $4.0 million in 11 portfolio companies.
Excluding the $4.7 million in reversals of net unrealized appreciation on the Company's second quarter dispositions, the Company had a net increase in unrealized appreciation of approximately $1.7 million during the second quarter on its portfolio company positions held at June 30, 2013.
The Company's NAV increased by $0.03 per share as a result of its share repurchases. This increase was offset by the dividend of $0.24 per share paid in June.
