THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Net investment income increased to $0.27 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 from $0.26 per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
- Net loss on investments was $0.15 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. See additional information under “Results of Operations” below.
- Net asset value per common share decreased to $11.29 as of September 30, 2024 from $11.51 as of June 30, 2024.
- As of September 30, 2024, based on fair value, 91% of our loan portfolio consisted of floating rate loans and 100% of our loan portfolio consisted of first lien and second lien loans.
- For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the investment portfolio’s weighted-average performing income yield increased to 13.6% from 13.4% during the prior quarter, primarily due to the sale of certain structured finance securities and the redeployment of proceeds into higher yielding CLO subordinated note securities.

The weighted-average yield of our investments is not the same as a return on investment for our stockholders, but rather relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our fees and expenses.
|
|
(2)
|
|
Performing income yield is calculated as (a) the actual amount earned on performing interest-bearing investments, including interest, prepayment fees and amortization of net loan fees, divided by (b) the weighted-average of total performing interest-bearing investments at amortized cost.
|
|
(3)
|

Realized yield is calculated as (a) the actual amount earned on interest-bearing investments, including interest, prepayment fees and amortization of net loan fees, divided by (b) the weighted-average of total interest-bearing investments at amortized cost, in each case, including debt investments on non-accrual status and non-income producing structured finance securities.

As of September 30, 2024, based on fair value, our investment portfolio was comprised of the following:
- Total investments of $394.7 million, which was equal to approximately 106% of amortized cost;
- Debt investments of $231.1 million, of which approximately 82% and 18% were first lien and second lien loans, respectively;
- Equity investments of $89.8 million; and
- Structured finance securities of $73.8 million.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, a first lien debt investment with an amortized cost and fair value of $4.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, was placed on non-accrual status.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we wrote-off a subordinated debt investment, which was previously on non-accrual status, following a partial-recovery payment of $0.3 million, resulting in a net realized loss of $4.4 million. The net realized loss of $4.4 million was fully recognized in prior fiscal periods as an unrealized loss and did not impact our NAV during the quarter.

Investment Income
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, total investment income decreased to $10.9 million from $11.2 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $0.2 million. The decline in interest income was primarily due to an aggregate decrease of $0.5 million in contractual cash and PIK interest, partially offset by an increase in accretion of interest income on CLO subordinated notes of $0.4 million.
Expenses
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, total expenses decreased by $0.4 million to $7.3 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to decreases in other expenses of $0.2 million and administration fees of $0.1 million.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a net loss on investments of $1.9 million, primarily comprised of aggregate net losses of $5.6 million on our loan and structured finance securities, and partially offset by net gains of $3.7 million on our equity securities.
The net realized and unrealized loss of $1.9 million includes a total net realized loss of $11.1 million, predominantly comprised of a $7.8 million loss upon the write-off of our debt and equity investments in a portfolio company, which had no impact on our NAV during the quarter as the loss had been substantially recognized in prior fiscal periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2024, we had $20.3 million in cash, which includes $8.0 million held by OFSCC-FS, LLC (“OFSCC-FS”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Our use of cash held by OFSCC-FS is restricted by contractual conditions of our credit facility with BNP Paribas, including limitations on the amount of cash OFSCC-FS can distribute to us.
As of September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding balance and an unused commitment of $25.0 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Banc of California, as well as an unused commitment of $80.9 million under our revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas, both of which are subject to borrowing base requirements and other covenants. As of September 30, 2024, we had a payable for investments purchased of $14.7 million and outstanding commitments to fund various undrawn revolvers and other credit facilities of portfolio companies totaling $8.5 million.
