Results highlighted by 49% year-over-year increase in interest revenue

CALGARY, Nov. 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Crown Capital Partners Inc. ("Crown" or the "Corporation") (TSX: CRWN), which provides growth capital to successful mid-market companies, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. Crown's complete financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Q3 2018 Financial & Operating Highlights

  • Total revenue of $7.9 million (2017 – $5.6 million), including interest revenue of $7.2 million (2017 – $4.8 million), fees and other income of $0.2 million (2017 – $0.1 million), and a net gain on investments of $0.5 million (2017 – net gain of $0.6 million).
  • A 62% year-over-year increase in net income, net of non-controlling interests, of $1.8 million (2017 – $1.1 million), or $0.19 per common share (basic) (2017 – $0.12).
  • Adjusted Funds from Operations1 of $3.1 million, compared with $1.6 million in Q3 2017.
  • Total assets of $288.2 million at quarter end, up from $229.1 million at December 31, 2017.
  • Total equity per common share (basic) of $10.79 at September 30, 2018 compared with $10.98 at December 31, 2017.
  • On August 31, 2018, paid a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share.
  • Crown Capital Partner Funding, LP ("Crown Partners Fund") completed a $15 million term loan to Triple Five Intercontinental Group Ltd. and exited Q3 2018 with a record level of contributed capital at $221.8 million compared with $167.4 million as at September 30, 2017.
  • Completed a $75 million upsizing of Crown Partners Fund. Concurrently, the investment period was extended to the end of 2019 and the maximum size of the fund was increased to $500 million, from $300 million previously.
  • Transition restricted share units issued in connection with the initial public offering of the Corporation in July 2015 vested on July 9, 2018, contributing to a 1.7% increase in common shares outstanding as at September 30, 2018 compared with June 30, 2018 and, in turn, to a (2.2)% decrease in book value per share over the same period.

"Crown has had a highly active and productive year to date, deploying $105 million in six transactions, which lifted our fee-generating assets to [our highest levels ever] at quarter end and drove a 49% year-over-year increase in interest revenue," said Chris Johnson, President and CEO of Crown. "In addition to the $75 million upsizing of Crown Partners Fund, we made important changes that provide additional flexibility to expand this fund up to $500 million and capitalize on demand from mid-market companies for our customized financing solutions."

Mr. Johnson added: "Our core focus at Crown is creating strong risk-adjusted recurring cash flows through private credit and structured equity capital pools. With Crown Capital Power Limited Partnership, which we launched in the second quarter, we have a tremendous opportunity to build a portfolio of long-term contracts with profitable, well-established businesses that will deliver attractive utility-like income. In the third quarter, we made significant progress with the growth initiatives for this fund, including important steps towards developing the capital structures and third-party investor base to participate alongside our initial principal investment."

Q3 F2018 Financial Results Summary

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" ("IFRS 9") resulting in fundamental changes to the accounting for financial assets. As a result, some of the Corporation's debt investments are now carried at amortized cost, with other debt investments and all equity investments carried at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). Previously, all investments had been carried at FVTPL. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 on the carrying value of investments and retained earnings as at January 1, 2018 was a reduction of $2.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Financing fees earned in relation to debt investments carried at amortized cost are now deferred and amortized over the term of related loans as part of the effective interest rate and are no longer recognized immediately in revenues.  Comparative amounts for 2017 and prior periods were not restated for the impact of IFRS 9.

1.

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Funds from Operations are not measures of financial performance (nor do they have standardized meanings) under IFRS. In evaluating these measures, investors should consider that the methodology applied in calculating these measures might differ among companies and analysts. The Corporation has provided a reconciliation of earnings before income taxes to Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Funds from Operations in this news release. The Corporation believes these are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing the financial performance and the cash anticipated to be generated by Crown's business. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Funds from Operations should not be considered as the sole measures of Crown's performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Corporation's financial statements.

2.

IFRS 9 was adopted on January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis without restatement of prior periods. Accordingly, 2017 and prior periods are not presented on a comparable basis.
