“The fourth quarter capped off a landmark year for Horizon and the Horizon Platform, including a record investment portfolio at year-end of over $450 million, and we are proud of our entire team’s efforts,” said Robert D. Pomeroy, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon. “We generated NII of $0.39 per share, above our distribution level, while we continued growing our portfolio. Once again, we successfully harnessed the increasing power of the ‘Horizon’ brand to drive strong loan originations in the quarter, while maintaining an impressive committed backlog and pipeline of venture debt opportunities. In addition, HTFM’s predictive pricing strategy continued to prosper, as we completed seven portfolio exits, once again leading to a debt portfolio yield of over 16%, among the top of the industry.”
“Along with HRZN’s excellent growth, we finished the year with nearly 98% of its portfolio 3-rated or better,” continued Mr. Pomeroy. “We also recently further strengthened HRZN’s balance sheet and expanded its lending capacity, which should enable us to further grow the portfolio in 2022. With demand for venture debt remaining at near-peak levels, and with an extensive committed backlog and pipeline, we believe HRZN is well situated in 2022 to continue to grow its portfolio and deliver compelling returns to its shareholders.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Operating Results
Total investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 grew 68% to $16.9 million, compared to $10.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to growth in interest income on investments resulting from an increase in the average size of the debt investment portfolio, as well as higher fee income.
The Company’s dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was 16.2% and 13.0%, respectively. The Company calculates the dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments for any period measured as (1) total investment income (excluding dividend income) during the period divided by (2) the average of the fair value of debt investments outstanding on (a) the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the first day of the period and (b) the last day of each calendar month during the period. The dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments is higher than what investors will realize because it does not reflect expenses or any sales load paid by investors.
Total expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 were $8.7 million, compared to $5.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in interest expense, a $0.4 million increase in the base management fee and a $1.0 million increase in the performance-based incentive fee.
Net investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was $8.1 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to $3.9 million, or $0.21 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, net realized loss on investments was $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to net realized loss on investments of $18.6 million, or $0.99 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, net unrealized depreciation on investments was $4.9 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to net unrealized appreciation on investments of $17.1 million, or $0.91 per share, for the prior-year period.
Full Year 2021 Operating Results
Total investment income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $60.0 million, an increase of 30% compared to $46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Horizon’s dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was 15.7% and 14.6%, respectively.
For the full year ended December 31, 2021, net investment income was $28.2 million, or $1.41 per share, compared to net investment income of $20.7 million, or $1.18 per share, in the prior year.
For the full year ended December 31, 2021, net realized loss on investments was $3.2 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to net realized loss on investments of $14.7 million, or $0.84 per share, for the full year ended December 31, 2020.
For the full year ended December 31, 2021, net unrealized appreciation on investments was $3.2 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to net unrealized appreciation on investments of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per share, for the full year ended December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, Horizon’s loan portfolio had a weighted average credit rating of 3.2, compared to 3.1 as of September 30, 2021 and 3.2 as of December 31, 2020, respectively, with 4 being the highest credit quality rating and 3 being the rating for a standard level of risk. A rating of 2 represents an increased level of risk and, while no loss is currently anticipated for a 2-rated loan, there is potential for future loss of principal. A rating of 1 represents deteriorating credit quality and high degree of risk of loss of principal.
As of December 31, 2021, there was one debt investment with an internal credit rating of 1, with a cost of $11.5 million and a fair value of $6.9 million. As of September 30, 2021, there was one debt investment with an internal credit rating of 1, with a cost of $3.0 million and a fair value of $2.8 million. As of December 31, 2020, there was one debt investment with an internal credit rating of 1, with a cost of $6.8 million and a fair value of $1.7 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $71.4 million in available liquidity, consisting of $45.9 million in cash and money market funds, and $25.5 million in funds available under existing credit facility commitments.
As of December 31, 2021, there was $53.5 million in outstanding principal balance under our $125.0 million revolving credit facility (“Key Facility”). The Key Facility allows for an increase in the total loan commitment up to an aggregate commitment of $150.0 million. There can be no assurance that any additional lenders will make any commitments under the Key Facility.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, there was $78.8 million in outstanding principal balance under our $100 million senior secured debt facility with a large U.S.-based insurance company at an interest rate of 4.62%. Subsequent to year-end 2021, the Company amended its senior secured debt facility, increasing the commitment by $100 million to enable its wholly-owned subsidiary to issue up to $200 million of secured notes. The amendment to the facility extends the investment period to June 2023 and the maturity date to June 2028. In addition, the amendment, among other things, reduces the applicable margin used to calculate the credit facility’s interest rate on the Company’s borrowings above $100 million. Such borrowings will be priced at the three-year USD mid-market swap rate plus 3.00%. The facility is collateralized by certain of the Company's assets.
Horizon Funding Trust 2019-1, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HRZN, previously issued $100.0 million of Asset-Backed Notes (the “Notes”) rated A+(sf) by Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC. The Notes bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 4.21% per annum and have a stated maturity date of September 15, 2027. The reinvestment period of the Notes ended July 15, 2021 and the maturity is September 15, 2027. As of December 31, 2021, the Notes had an outstanding principal balance of $70.5 million.
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 784,718 shares of common stock under its ATM offering program with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and B. Riley FBR, Inc.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s debt to equity leverage ratio was 106%, within the Company’s 80-120% targeted leverage range. The asset coverage ratio for borrowed amounts was 194%.

After paying distributions of $1.25 per share deemed paid for tax purposes in 2021, declaring on October 22, 2021 a distribution of $0.10 per share payable January 14, 2022, and generating taxable earnings of $1.48 per share in 2021, the Company's undistributed spillover income as of December 31, 2021 was $0.51 per share. Spillover income includes any ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding tax years that were not distributed during such tax years.
When declaring distributions, the Horizon board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of spillover income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of taxable income for each tax year, as well as the tax attributes for distributions in such tax year, will be made after the close of the tax year.
