On September 16, 2019 and June 3, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Golub Capital Investment Corporation (“GCIC”) and Golub Capital BDC 3, Inc. (“GBDC 3”), respectively. Each acquisition was accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, where the consideration paid to GCIC and GBDC 3’s stockholders exceeded the relative fair values of the assets acquired, the premium paid by the Company was allocated to the cost of the GCIC and GBDC 3 investments acquired by the Company pro-rata based on their relative fair value. Immediately following each acquisition, the Company recorded its assets at their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase premium allocated to the cost basis of the assets acquired was immediately recognized as unrealized depreciation on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase premium allocated to investments in loan securities acquired from GCIC and GBDC 3 will amortize over the life of the loans through interest income with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on such loans acquired through their ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to investments in equity securities will not amortize over the life of the equity securities through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the GCIC and GBDC 3 equity securities acquired and disposition of such equity securities at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation upon disposition of the GCIC and GBDC 3 equity securities acquired.
As a supplement to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, the Company is providing the following non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful for the reasons described below:
The Company believes that excluding the financial impact of the purchase premium write down in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors as it is a non-cash expense/loss resulting from the acquisitions of GCIC and GBDC 3 and is one method the Company uses to measure its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company believes excluding the accrual of the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP is useful as a portion of such accrual is not contractually payable under the terms of the Company’s investment advisory agreement with GC Advisors.

Total investments in portfolio companies at fair value were $7,867.5 million at June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, total assets were $8,477.2 million, net assets were $4,053.6 million and net asset value per share was $15.32.
Consolidated Results of Operations
For the third fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company reported GAAP net income of $9.3 million or $0.05 per share and Adjusted Net Income2 of $60.9 million or $0.31 per share. GAAP net investment income was $92.7 million or $0.46 per share and Adjusted Net Investment Income1 was $95.8 million or $0.48 per share. GAAP net realized and unrealized gain/(loss) was ($83.7) million or ($0.41) per share and Adjusted Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)1 was ($35.1) million or ($0.17) per share.
Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to various factors, including the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are derived from the Company’s debt securitizations (also known as collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs), unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities and cash flow from operations. The Company’s primary uses of funds from operations include investments in portfolio companies and payment of fees and other expenses that the Company incurs. The Company has used, and expects to continue to use, its debt securitizations, unsecured notes, revolving credit facilities, proceeds from its investment portfolio and proceeds from offerings of its securities and its dividend reinvestment plan to finance its investment objectives.
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies of $147.5 million, restricted cash and cash equivalents of $317.2 million, which included $202.1 million of restricted cash retained for partial repayments on the notes of certain of our debt securitizations that are past their reinvestment period term, and $4,337.7 million of debt outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $1,153.8 million of remaining availability, in the aggregate, on our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan and approximately $23.9 million of availability on our revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank. In addition, as of June 30, 2024, we had $200.0 million of remaining commitments and availability on our unsecured line of credit with GC Advisors.
On April 8, 2024, the Company redeemed $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% Notes due in 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
On April 11, 2024, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to the second $225.0 million of the $450.0 million of 2028 Unsecured Notes (the “2028 Notes”) that we issued on December 5, 2023. Under the agreement, we receive a fixed interest rate of 7.310% and pay a floating interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.835%.
The Company estimates that our GAAP debt-to-equity ratio decreased to 1.09x as of June 30, 2024 and our GAAP debt-to-equity ratio, net3 decreased to 1.05x as of June 30, 2024.
_______________________ 3GAAP debt to equity, net is calculated as (1) total debt reduced by available cash, cash equivalents, and foreign currencies, divided by (2) total net assets.
Portfolio and Asset Quality
GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of the Company’s investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors’ internal performance ratings:
Internal Performance Ratings
Rating
Definition
5
Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.
4
Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.
3
Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower may be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.
2
Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).
1
Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.
Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments. For additional analysis on the Company's internal performance ratings as of June 30, 2024, please refer to the Quarter Ended 6.30.2024 Earnings Presentation available on Investors Resources link on the homepage of the Company's website (www.golubcapitalbdc.com) under Events/Presentations.
