GSV Capital Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results of Operations

 

Net Asset Value of $14.86 Per Share as of June 30, 2014

 

WOODSIDE, Calif., August 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSV Capital Corp. ("GSV") (Nasdaq:GSVC), today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. Net assets totaled $287.1 million or $14.86 per share at June 30, 2014, as compared to $14.91 per share at March 31, 2014, and $12.87 per share at June 30, 2013.

 

“While our NAV was down slightly in the the quarter, this was principally influenced by the decline in Twitter stock, which resulted in a $0.15 impact to NAV,” said Michael Moe, GSV’s founder and CEO. “Subsequent to the June 30th quarter end, Twitter, Chegg and 2U all reported strong quarterly results, which were a positive catalyst for their stocks. Overall, the fundamentals of our portfolio are very robust.”

 

“We are encouraged by the financial results that many of our portfolio companies are delivering and the fundamentals of our companies continue to be strong with an estimated average revenue growth rate of over 90% year over year. We feel very good about most of the portfolio investments we have made to date and believe they will generate attractive returns for our shareholders over the long run.”

 

Highlights included:

 

·Realized gains on the liquidation of our Control4 and Facebook positions were $6.3 million offset by realized losses of $13.5 million on the liquidation of our Violin Memory and Silver Spring Networks positions .

 

·We made new investments totaling $10.8 million in Declara, GSV Sustainability Partners and EarlyShares and follow on investments of $2.2 million in Fullbridge, NestGSV, CircleMedia, and Totus Solutions.

 

·TrueCar’s (Nasdaq: TRUE) initial public offering was completed at $9.00 on May 16th and is now trading at $14.33 (as of 08/06/14), up 59% from its IPO price.

 

Investment Portfolio as of June 30, 2014

 

At June 30, 2014, the Company owns positions in 50 portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of $367.0 million. Our three largest investments comprise 40.1% of the total portfolio value excluding Treasuries while our top ten portfolio companies represent 63.9% of the total portfolio value excluding Treasuries.

Net proceeds from the sales of these investments were $10.6 million, $5.0 million, $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

 

At June 30, 2014, GSV has investments in 45 private companies and five public companies (Twitter, 2U, Chegg, TrueCar and Cricket Media(fka epals Inc)). In general, management expects to liquidate its public securities holdings within one year following the expiration of the IPO lock-up.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2014, GSV Capital has not sold any investments and has made follow on investments totaling $4.0 million in StormWind, Solexel, nestGSV and EarlyShares.

 

As GSV's portfolio matures and we realize a cumulative net realized gain, GSV intends to distribute a portion of such gains to shareholders in the form of a distribution.

This compares to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $3.5 million or $0.18 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
