Insights

Blue Owl Capital III's Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid financial performance and portfolio growth. The NII of $0.41 per share exceeding the regular dividend by over 15% indicates strong earnings power. The NAV increase to $15.56 per share reflects portfolio appreciation.

The increased investment activity, with $1.0 billion in new commitments, shows robust deal flow. The portfolio's 85% first lien concentration and 97.5% floating rate exposure position it well for the current rate environment. The low non-accrual rate of 0.5% suggests good credit quality.

However, the rising leverage (net debt-to-equity of 1.22x) and increased expenses warrant monitoring. The announced merger with OBDC could bring scale benefits but needs careful execution.

The 10.5% annualized dividend yield based on NAV is attractive in the current market, potentially driving investor interest. The special dividend series adds to shareholder returns, though it's important to note these are not guaranteed long-term.

The increased investment pace ($765.7 million funded vs $630.9 million in Q1) suggests growing market opportunities, possibly due to reduced competition or increased demand for private credit. The weighted average yield of 11.5% on the portfolio is compelling, especially with 97.5% floating rate exposure.

The merger with OBDC could be a game-changer, potentially creating a larger, more liquid entity with improved access to capital markets. However, merger integration risks and potential portfolio overlap should be considered.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 

Investment Income
Investment income increased to $123.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $106.2 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher interest income, resulting from an increase in our debt investment portfolio at par. Other income increased period-over-period due to an increase in prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns which are non-recurring in nature. Included in interest income are other fees such as prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns which are non-recurring in nature. Period-over-period, these fees increased due to an increase in repayment activity for the period. We expect that investment income will vary based on a variety of factors including the pace of our originations and repayments.

Expenses
Total expenses increased to $72.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $36.3 million for the same period in prior year due to an increase in management fees, incentive fees, interest expense and other expenses. The increase in interest expense was driven by an increase in average daily borrowings and average interest rate period-over-period. Management and incentive fees increased due to an increase in our investment portfolio at fair value as well as the increased fee rates effective as of the Company's listing date, January 25, 2024.  Incentive fees were not incurred prior to the listing date. As a percentage of total assets, professional fees, directors' fees and other general and administrative expenses increased period-over-period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $120.3 million in cash, $2.5 billion in total principal value of debt outstanding, and $285.3 million of undrawn capacity on our credit facilities. The Company's weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 7.1% and 7.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Ending net debt to equity was 1.22x and 1.04x as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
