| As we continue to take a cautious approach towards new credit underwriting given macroeconomic conditions |
| Our NAV stood at $3.68 billion or $8.92 per common share, down $0.33 from the prior quarter |
| And then on a dollar basis, I would expect for it to decline over time as well |
| In the current higher financing cost environment, which has recently started to abate a bit |
| In the December quarter our net debt equity ratio was 46.2% down 27.9 percentage points from March 2020 and own 0.3 percentage points from the September 2023 quarter as we continue to run an under leveraged balance sheet, which has been the case for us over multiple quarters years |
| As a result, the structured notes portfolio now comprises less than 8% of our investment portfolio and is expected to decrease over time |
| It's declined substantially, and I would expect for that to continue |
| We also have a Greater mix exposure into markets like the Midwest, for example, and selected mid Atlantic Northeast markets that have had less supply additions compared to the Western states and certain markets in the Southeast, places like Nashville and Austin, for example, have had huge surges of supply and we've declined to purchase any properties in those areas because of supply concerns |
| But curious given the market environment, the headlines we all read, like how that exit shook out |
| It is true in the last couple of years, because of where liability spreads have been, activity for refinancings and extensions have been somewhat muted |
| As of December, our portfolio at fair value comprised 58.7% first-lien debt, up 1.4% from the prior quarter, 15.5% second-lien debt, down 0.4% from the prior quarter, 7.9% subordinated structured notes with underlying secured first-lien collateral, down 0.2% from the prior quarter and 17.8% unsecured debt and equity investments, down 0.8% from the prior quarter, resulting in 82.1% of our investments being assets with underlying secured debt benefiting from borrower pledge collateral, that's up 0.8% from the prior quarter |
| Prospect's approach is one that generates attractive risk adjusted yields and our performing interest-bearing investments were generating an annualized yield of 12.3% as of December 2023, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the prior quarter |
