Rand Capital Corporation (Nasdaq: RAND) (“Rand” or the “Company”), a business development company providing alternative financing for lower middle market companies, announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Daniel P. Penberthy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rand, commented, “The strong pace of investments made in 2021, which was comprised of over $20 million in portfolio additions, drove a strong start to 2022. We delivered 11% growth in total investment income, paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, which represented an increase over the quarterly dividends in 2021, and demonstrated solid operating leverage. We sold our investment in Social Flow, a non-strategic, long-held equity investment, and benefited from an exit value in excess of our fair value. Also, during the quarter we sold liquid public equity investments, including ACVA and BDC stock holdings, to generate cash and continue to fund new debt instrument investments.”
First Quarter Highlights
Portfolio and Investment Activity
As of March 31, 2022, Rand’s portfolio included investments with a fair value of $62.4 million across
33 portfolio businesses. This was down $1.7 million, or 3%, from December 31, 2021, due primarily to the change in ACV Auctions’ market value, net new investments and payoffs. At March 31, 2022, the portfolio was comprised of approximately 48% in debt investments, 33% in equity investments in private companies, and 19% in publicly traded equities consisting of other BDCs and ACV Auctions. The annualized weighted average yield of debt investments was 12.3%.
First quarter 2022:

Rand Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Expenses to GAAP Total Expense (unaudited)
In addition to reporting total expenses, which is a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) financial measure, Rand presents adjusted expenses, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted expenses is defined as GAAP total expenses removing the effect of any expenses/(credits) for capital gains incentive fees. GAAP total expenses is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Rand believes that adjusted expenses provides useful information to investors regarding financial performance because it is a method the Company uses to measure its financial and business trends related to its results of operations. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
