Now please allow me to introduce Trinity Capital’s Chairman and CEO, Steve Brown.

Steve Brown: Thank you, Ben, and thanks, everyone, for joining us today. As you have seen in the earnings release, we generated strong third quarter results with record net investment income fueled by a robust originations pipeline. Net investment income for the quarter was $23.4 million or NII per share of $0.58, providing 118% coverage on our regular dividend. NAV increased by $0.02 to $13.17 per share due in part to a healthy balance sheet and the stability of our portfolio, which out-earned our distributions. We further strengthened our liquidity during the quarter by accretive stock issuances under our ATM program, as well as our $82 million equity raise in August. I’m especially pleased that we have increased our quarterly dividend by 2.1%, marking the 11th consecutive quarter of dividend increases.

Last month, we increased our quarterly regular dividend to $0.49 per share in addition to a supplemental dividend of $0.05 per share to comply with tax regulations. The Board will further evaluate our tax position in Q4 and determine if additional supplemental dividends are required. As we previously announced, effective January 1, 2024, and consistent with the company’s long-term succession plan, I will become Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, while continuing to serve on the company’s investment committee, and Kyle Brown will become Chief Executive Officer. As CEO of Trinity for the past 15 years, I have had the privilege of leading a best-in-class team, and together, we took the platform public, creating significant returns for our investors.

Since our IPO in 2021, Trinity has delivered more than $169 million in cumulative distributions. Also, we have been approved to launch an RIA and have successfully started the JV, both of which provide off-balance sheet growth opportunities that give us the ability to generate accretive returns for our BDC investors. I look forward to transitioning into this new role and partnering with Kyle as he leads this team toward our next phase of growth. Since joining the firm in 2015, Kyle has played an important role in his capacity as President and Chief Investment Officer, where he has overseen the company’s lending policies and investment strategy. He has been a driving force in building this team and our business, and he is in a prime position to lead us to even better places.

This is an exciting next chapter for Trinity. And with that, I’ll turn the call over to Kyle. Kyle?

Kyle Brown: Thank you, Steve. I’m looking forward to stepping into the role of CEO and continue to work with our record-setting team and building this platform for our portfolio companies and shareholders. As Steve mentioned, this planned transition is a result of a long-term strategy, an extensive preparation to position the company for tremendous opportunities ahead. Our vision and mission remains the same: to build the world’s leading credit platform for the global growth economy. We’ll continue to maximize Trinity’s track record and trajectory as we expand the portfolio to add value for our shareholders. We focus on doing three things exceptionally well here at Trinity, exhibiting uncommon care for our employees and partners, be more than money for our clients, and providing outsized returns for investors.

Looking at the macro environment, the VC industry remains an attractive place to make debt investments given the mismatch between supply and demand for lending. High-quality growth companies are going to continue to need to raise capital and debt will be a preferred avenue over heavily dilutive equity down rounds. Interest from investors seeking to partner with company founders to build positions in companies remains high. And the dry powder in the VC industry remains at record numbers. The level of opportunity can be gauged by looking at the volume of deals in the market, including the latest data from Q3, the estimated number of deals in each quarter of 2023 continue to surpass all previous years, except for the unusual activity in ’21 and ’22.

We have exceptional relationships with our portfolio companies and the breadth of our relationships with sponsors and investors allows us to see even more opportunities as we work with more than 900 different equity sponsors in our history. Despite a somewhat challenging fundraising environment, our portfolio continued to get funded and to see opportunities to raise additional capital. Year-to-date, 45 of our portfolio companies have raised an aggregate of more than $2.4 billion in new capital to drive their next phase of growth. Volatility in the banking industry and a more conservative approach towards lending continue to drive additional opportunities for Trinity’s direct lending solutions. We finished the quarter with a strong pipeline of $348 million in unfunded commitments, all of which are subject to milestones, ongoing diligence and approval by our investment committee.

We remain very selective and committed to adhering, to our rigorous diligence process with a smaller percentage of deals reaching the underwriting stage. Our distinct structure and collaborative origination credit and portfolio teams takes a proactive approach to managing our inbound opportunities in active portfolio companies, which greatly mitigate risk and position us to excel in all cycles. Gross fundings in Q3, were approximately $149 million and proceeds received from repayments of the company’s debt investments during Q3 totaled approximately $177 million. Our Q3 fundings were comprised of $81 million to five new portfolio companies and $66 million to 10 existing portfolio companies and $2 million of capital calls to our joint venture.

The composition of our portfolio remains consistent with prior quarters, shows diversification across 19 different industries. We have intentionally constructed that portfolio with varied industry segmentation with our large industry exposure, representing only 13% of the portfolio at cost. As announced earlier this year, we have further built out our life science vertical by making key hires and opening a new office in San Diego, which places us in the heart of a major life science research and innovation hub. We continue to be enthusiastic about the prospects of our life science vertical, and believe the industry holds immense potential for growth. Our team has built an attractive platform to support the financing needs of growth stage companies.

Our people are Trinity’s biggest assets. And as we continue to build and grow the organization, we never forget that our culture is built on humility, trust, integrity, uncommon care and continuous learning. And an entrepreneurial spirit as we serve our customers and partners. We believe this mindset makes us a destination for the best talent in the industry, and we continue to make strategic hires to bolster our team for the exciting road ahead. In the third quarter, we also continue to realize the benefits of our direct lending joint venture. This off-balance sheet growth provides incremental returns that flow to our shareholders. Our RIA is positioned to be an opportunistic off-balance sheet growth lever. Our team is engaging with several potential investment partners, and we expect to have more progress, to share in the coming quarters.

We are focused on building a platform both on and off-balance sheet that is accretive for investors. As a reminder, we are an internally managed BDC. And the fees charged to our off-balance sheet entities will directly benefit shareholders. Looking ahead, we believe companies will need to seek lending solutions that offer strategic partnership and less dilutive growth capital. We want to be the go-to lender for growth-oriented companies providing a wide range of financing solutions. And we are well positioned to profitably grow the balance sheet. And as we increase our off-balance sheet activity, we’ll seek new ways to improve returns for our shareholders. Our CFO, David Lund will now discuss our operating performance in more detail. Dave?

David Lund: Thank you, Kyle, and welcome to everyone joining us today. We generated strong operational performance in the third quarter, underscored by the strength of our balance sheet and the ability to execute our strategic vision. In Q3, we recorded total investment income of $46.4 million, a 20% increase over the same period in 2022. This growth was attributable to interest earned on the higher average loan balances in our investment portfolio, the benefit of increases in the prime rate since Q3 of 2022 and OID acceleration. Our effective yield on the portfolio for Q3, was 16.7% compared to 16.2% in the second quarter. Our core yield, which excludes non-recurring fee income increased to 15.5% from 14.8% in the prior quarter.

This yield growth was contributed to our solid NII performance in the quarter. Our debt portfolio remains well positioned against interest rate increases with 74% of our debt investments at floating rates. While on the borrowing side, 19% of our outstanding debt at the end of the third quarter was at a variable SOFR rate, contributing to a solid net interest margin or NIM of 12.9% for the quarter. Net investment income for the third quarter was a record $23.4 million or $0.58 per basic share, an increase of 25.6%, compared to $18.6 million, or $0.56 per basic share in the same period of the prior year. Our operating activities generated strong returns for our shareholders with ROAE based on NII over average equity of 17.6% and ROAA based on NII over average total assets of 8%.

Lastly, as of September 30, 2023, NAV increased 18.1% to $569.5 million and NAV per share increased to $13.17, compared to $13.15 in Q2. The increase in NAV per share was primarily the result of net investment income that exceeded the company’s declared dividend and accretive stock issuances. I will now hand the call over to Mike Testa, our Chief Accounting Officer, who will discuss our credit performance, liquidity and capital allocation.

Michael Testa: Thanks, Dave. The credit quality of our portfolio companies remain strong and stable with approximately 97% of our portfolio performing at fair value. Our average internal credit rating for the third quarter stood at 2.8 based on our 1 to 5 rating system with 5 indicating very strong performance. This rating is in line with our average credit rating in each of the last four quarters and reinforces Trinity’s track record of low loss rates. We currently have four portfolio companies on non-accrual with a total fair value of approximately $28 million, representing just 2.6% of the total debt portfolio. Moving to liquidity. As of September 30, 2023, we had total liquidity of approximately $257 million, comprised of approximately $250 million of undrawn capacity under our credit facility and $7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.

Additionally, we’ve continued to co-invest with our joint venture, which provides additional investment liquidity and as of Q3, had $134 million of assets under management. Our net leverage ratio, which represents principal debt outstanding with cash on hand, improved to 0.92 times this quarter as a result of $82 million follow-on equity offering and increased portfolio repayments. We also utilized our ATM program during the quarter, raising approximately $13 million in gross proceeds at a premium to NAV, further supporting long-term growth of Trinity. The health of our capital structure and balance sheet remains the top priority for Trinity. As Kyle mentioned, this commitment is underscored further by the successful execution of the joint venture and potential investment partner discussions under the RIA.

These vehicles provide accretive earnings to the BDC, while providing additional liquidity to the platform, and we look forward to providing additional updates as appropriate. At this time, we’d like to open up the line for questions. Operator?

Operator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions] And we have our first question from Kyle Joseph with Jefferies.

Kyle Joseph: Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. And congrats on a good quarter. I just want to get your take or six-plus months out since the Silicon Valley fallout. And just give us a sense for how the markets evolved in those six months and whether you guys have seen some stabilization and how that’s impacted competition as well?

Kyle Brown: Hi Kyle, this is Kyle. So a couple of things and maybe just start with some of the data we’ve seen internally. We have seen this year a pretty significant uptick in senior loan. The percentage of loans and opportunities that are senior secured, and I’d say that’s primarily for even later-stage companies where we might have seen the bank providing some term debt or maybe some of the debt needs there. We just internally have seen a really significant uptick in senior loan opportunities. Now we primarily lend on senior secured loans. But that data alone for more mature companies was really interesting. It just shows that they’re lending less money to us. Opportunities have significantly increased top of funnel. And – but I would say that banks are kind of doing what banks have traditionally done, which is focused on receivable financing. So we’re seeing banks kind of focusing on what they do best, and we think that, that trend probably continues going forward.

Kyle Joseph: Got it. Very helpful. And so yes, that’s a good segue. Next one is just the investment in the pipeline really going forward, obviously, you guys delevered a lot, some from repayments, some from the equity raise, but with your balance sheet where it is, should we take that as a sign that the pipeline is really strong? And then how do you guys think about managing leverage going forward?

Kyle Brown: Yes, I’ll touch on it, Mike, you can also touch on it. But we really want to make sure that we keep that leverage in a place where we have liquidity. We can take advantage of the market and opportunities in front of us. The combination of on an off-balance sheet capital gives us some additional levers there to keep leverage low, but also continue to drive up earnings. And so, we’re really focused on continuing to increase earnings per share, ROE and increase that dividend. And so, the ability for us to offload deals to some of our off-balance sheet entities yet drive up to new income while decreasing our leverage ratio, that’s – those are really interesting tools that we’re going to continue to use going forward.

Michael Testa: And just to provide color on the backlog in Kyle’s prepared remarks, he covered $348 million of unfunded commitments. We also have quite a bit of term sheets accepted. So over to $600 million in our backlog and a good portion of that, is to our equipment financing products.

Kyle Joseph: Got it. Very helpful. Thanks for answering my questions.

Operator: And our next question comes from Christopher Nolan with Ladenburg Thalmann.

Christopher Nolan: Steve, congratulations on your transition, and Kyle, congratulations on your transition. I guess going forward, given the dividend, the common dividend yield is roughly 14% right now. Where do you stand in terms of cost of capital for further equity raises?

Kyle Brown: It’s a little tough here yes, Chris. I think you said how do you feel about future equity raises? Is that right?

David Lund: Cost of capital for future equity raises?

Christopher Nolan: Yes. The dividend yield is 14%. And are you comfortable with raising equity, were you paying out a 40% dividend yield on that new equity?

Kyle Brown: Yes. So on future equity raises, we are really dedicated to making sure we do not dilute investors. We’re really dedicated on increasing our ROE. We are very dedicated to increasing that earnings per share. And so – to the extent that we go when we raise additional equity, those things are front of mind. We do have a significant pipeline. We have great opportunities in front of us, but increasing AUM for the sake of AUM growth just does – that’s not – we’re not structured to focus on that first. And so, we’ll raise additional equity as we need to, but not at the sake of diluting shares and decreasing returns for investors.

Christopher Nolan: And then I guess – yes, please go ahead.

Michael Testa: Yes. The only thing to add is like we have some good flexibility and opportunities to raise capital through the ATM or equity offerings, but also from a debt perspective, we have a good amount of liquidity in our credit facility and at the lower end of our leverage ratio, have some flexibility there.

Christopher Nolan: Got you. And then I guess what’s – I know you guys have raised the dividend consistently for the last 11 quarters, and congratulations. But – what are you thinking in terms of incremental raises? Are they really needed to support the stock price or anything? What’s the thoughts around that, please?

Kyle Brown: As our off-balance sheet income continues to increase, and those earnings flow to the BDC, we will continue to have new earnings to share with investors. So – we’re not a traditional BDC. Our story is not going to replicate traditional BDCs. We are going to be very consistent with the dividend and then we’re going – we’re trying to create a growth story for our shareholders.

David Lund: And I would also point to our dividend coverage 118%.

Christopher Nolan: That’s it from me. Thank you.

Operator: And our next question comes from Ryan Lynch with KBW.

Ryan Lynch: Hi. Good morning. Kind of following up on Kyle’s earlier question about leverage. Obviously, with the equity raise and kind of the minimal growth this quarter in the portfolio, you guys are in a really good leverage spot. I understand that you guys are looking at ways to increase the operating ROE. You guys have different tools out there like the JV that can increase the operating ROE by growing that? But at this point, do you guys foresee – is it kind of the expectation that leverage will move back up into kind of that targeted range in a one-point kind of 2-ish area, 1.2, 1.3-ish area – or is the expectation that, it will kind of hover around these levels, and you will continue to enhance the ROE by investing in the JV and potentially the RIA at some point?

Kyle Brown: Hi Ryan, it’s a combination of everything you said there, right? It’s – we’ve got some really interesting levers in place so that we don’t have to increase our leverage to generate new returns and higher returns for investors. And so, keeping it in that range of kind of 1.1 to 1.3. I mean that gives us some reflects on a quarterly basis to satisfy and make sure we close the deals, we need to close. And also utilizing our off-balance sheet activity there to decrease the leverage ratio. And so, we have some really great flex with our leverage. But long-term less leverage and higher returns, we actually have the ability to do that with our off-balance sheet activity.

Ryan Lynch: Okay. Yes, makes sense. I would just say, yes, if you have the ability to do that, I think that makes a lot of sense just given the ROE is already very, very high today and having some balance sheet flexibility, I think, is valuable given the current market backdrop. The other question I had was, can you provide an update on where the situation with Core Scientific stands? Obviously, we know what’s going on there with that investment at least from the backdrop. It looks like it was maybe written up slightly in the quarter but still remains at a heavy discount. There’s been a big move in Bitcoin prices. I’m not sure what the equipment has done. But just can you give an update on that investment? And — have you seen any changes in the underlying market recently given the big move higher in Bitcoin over the last several months?

Ron Kundich: This is Ron, Ryan. I’ll go first, and maybe Gerry will tack on. You know where it’s at. But there’s been a couple of significant updates within the quarter. The claim amount and our collateral amount, has been finalized with the company, which is obviously a positive thing. And the company has also come to agreement with the equipment lenders under three different restructuring options. So continues to move forward through the process. You asked a question about Bitcoin, maybe Gerry, if you want to tackle that one. I think you tagged that on at the end of your question Ryan?

Gerry Harder: Yes. I think – so here’s what I’d say, right? The collateral amount and the – collateral and the claim amount were finalized with the company. That’s what they’re bringing into court. We understand the company is very close to reaching agreement with convertible note holders, but as of right now, we haven’t heard that that’s finalized. The judge in the case needed to recuse themselves, there’s a new judge. We think the judgment date is at or around the end of the year. And so, we can’t really say what will happen, what the court judgment will make. But as Ron alluded to the agreement, the Trinity and the company have reached as well as all the other equipment lenders. The company has three debt repayment options, A, B, C, they can choose which suits them best.

So we consider those three options do discounted cash flow analysis to value our holdings and still maintained relatively high discount rate just to account for the overall risk. We will have an equitization option as well to consider moving forward. The valuation and the exact terms of that are not completely clear at this time. So it’s impossible for us to say what we might pick. We expect to make that election within Q4. And we’re going to do what, we believe is in the best interest of our shareholders when we make that decision.

Ryan Lynch: Okay. Understood. I appreciate the time today.

Operator: And we have our next question from Bryce Rowe with B. Riley.

Bryce Rowe: Thanks. Good afternoon from the East Coast. I wanted to ask, you made the comment and you made the same comment last quarter about your portfolio companies continuing to attract new capital. I think last quarter, it was 30 companies. This time, it’s 45, and the new capital is up $1.4 billion to $2.4 billion. Can you just speak to kind of what’s driving that and maybe speak to the message that might be counter, to what we’re hearing or what you might hear more broadly with the venture capital ecosystem? Thanks.

Kyle Brown: Sure. So look, I think that certain industries raising capital is challenging right now. And though what we have seen in our own portfolio and across the board, there is a lot of equity flowing. It’s just coming at damaging down rounds for investors – to the tune of 20% to 75%. I mean, we’ve seen that with our own portfolio. Even companies doing well and still growing or – they’re going to have a correction in their valuation, many of which have been delaying what has become kind of the inevitable. And we’re seeing that pipeline, just kind of push through and companies are trying to – they’re having to take the pain and move forward. And so majority of our investments are relatively mature companies who have real technology, real businesses that are worth something, and we have technology that has real value and somebody is going to pay something for it.

So, we’ve just seen that play out over and over again within our portfolio. And there’s – the market and our own portfolio, there’s always going to be a handful of deals we’re working on. It has to be. That’s our industry, right? And since we founded Trinity, we’ve seen that our warrants and upside potential, they cover our losses and provide some incremental upside to investors. And so, we’ve got a very dedicated portfolio team. We’ve got one individual for every 12 to 15 portfolio companies. That’s all they do, and we’re being incredibly proactive to renegotiate and provide incremental upside within our own portfolio as it’s easy right now. New deals, you can see it. They are priced tire. We’re getting more warrants. They’re very exciting.

It’s an interesting time to be investing in making new investments. But we’re actually within our own portfolio as new equity flows in, we’re being very proactive on making sure we create those upside potential – that upside potential. So what we can cover any outside, or losses we might have in the future and create some additional upside for investors. So, we’re trying to be really consistent there.

Bryce Rowe: Great. That’s helpful. And maybe a couple of follow-ups related to that answer. Number one, you talked about the top of the funnel kind of getting bigger and then you just also talked about kind of your team. How do you think about the employee base and the employee base growing with the better opportunity set that you’re seeing and especially in the context of being internally managed and different from an externally managed BDC that doesn’t have salary and benefit – direct salary and benefit type of expense on the income statement. Can you talk about kind of the opportunity there from an employee – or capturing more employee perspective?

Kyle Brown: Yes. We have taken a real sniper approach to new employees. We are looking for the best talent in the industry. We’ve got a pipeline filled with potential people across the platform. And we’re being very opportunistic about who we bring on board, and we continue to hire in advance. So we’ve — that’s been a theme for us from the beginning. We wanted to get this platform to scale. We have a vision for what we want to build here. Five years out in the future and then some, and we’re hiring according to that plan. And so we’re not – the BDC is not to scale yet. I think there’s some real efficiencies we’ll see as we continue to grow and increase assets. And – but we’re excited about the people we’re bringing on board.

We’re going to continue to hire in advance for the plan that we’re trying to execute on right now, all the while taking into account the fact that we want to make sure that we increase earnings per share and focus on the ROE growth. And so we balance those two things. And – we’re going to continue to hire in advance and continue to build the platform.

Bryce Rowe: Got it. Appreciate those comments.

Kyle Brown: Yes, thanks Bryce.

Operator: And we have our next question from Casey Alexander with Compass Point.

Casey Alexander: Hi. Good afternoon. This might be a little bit of a rambling question, and it refers to a lot of things that you’ve already said, but I mean just stepping back for a second and looking at the fact that at 0.93 times or 0.94 times, you’re under levered on the balance sheet, which would argue 2 things to me. One, that you would take your foot off the gas of the ATM program; and two, even though the JV is not anywhere near scale and not really contributing much income, you would likely not contribute a lot to the JV right now until you reach a more fulsome leverage level on balance sheet, which would be the best way to maximize your earnings. And so I was just wondering if you could speak that because that mix is — seems to make sense to me that things should go on balance sheet first until you’re at a more fulsome leverage then perhaps you can tap some of the ATM and start to build the JV to scale?

Kyle Brown: Yes. Casey, this is Kyle. I think Gerry and Mike will add on to it. I think you’re looking at a point in time, right? We had a pretty significant pipeline, some of which got pushed, right, into Q4. So there’s that effect a bit. But I think we can do both, Casey. I think what we’re trying to do is keep that leverage lower so that we have – we saw this. We saw this when [SUB] went down. There were suddenly some pretty significant opportunities. And if you’re highly leveraged at that point, you had less liquidity, you had less opportunity to take advantage of it was a difficult time, and we really want to position ourselves to the opportunistic, which I think creates outsized returns for shareholders. And so I think there’s this combination that we have the pipeline, right, and we can put the money to work.

There’s this really interesting balance of continuing to issue some new shares — utilize our off-balance sheet funds while keeping that leverage in a position where we’ve got a lot of liquidity available to us. And so if we can continue that up into the right trajectory of earnings, dividend increases, while also doing those other things, I mean that’s the sweet spot.

Gerry Harder: And I guess one other point after three quarters, Q4, Q1, Q2 of very low early repayments, we’d see a substantial uptick on that within Q3, right? And this isn’t something we can predict, right? So we have to capitalize the business to be opportunistic. We can’t count on those early repayments. But when they come, you might see that reflected in the leverage ratio as of September 30. And I think that’s what you’re seeing.

Casey Alexander: Right. Thank you. That’s my only question.

Kyle Brown: Thanks, Casey.

Operator: And we have reached the allotted time for our Q&A session. I would like to now turn the call back to CEO, Steve Brown for closing remarks.

Steve Brown: Thank you. We’d like to thank everybody for participating today, and we look forward to being in touch with you after the holidays.

If you’re interested in meeting with us at this event, please reach out to Ben or your Jefferies representative. Thanks again. And one last note, go deep back, let’s keep it going.

Operator: This does conclude today’s program. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
