LOS ANGELES, May 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation (NASDAQ: OCSL) (“Oaktree Specialty Lending” or the “Company”), a specialty finance company, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2022
- Total investment income was
$64.3 million ($0.35 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2022, as compared with$64.9 million ($0.36 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2022. Adjusted total investment income was$60.3 million ($0.33 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2022, as compared with$62.1 million ($0.34 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2022. The decreases were primarily driven by lower dividend income, partially offset by higher prepayment fees. - GAAP net investment income was
$40.1 million ($0.22 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2022, as compared with$32.3 million ($0.18 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2022. The increase was principally from higher interest income, resulting primarily from higher interest income accretion related to merger-related accounting adjustments, higher prepayment fees and a reversal of accrued capital gains incentive fees. This was partially offset by higher interest expense and higher part I incentive fees. - Adjusted net investment income was
$32.3 million ($0.18 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2022, as compared with$31.2 million ($0.17 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2022. The increase for the quarter primarily reflected higher prepayment fees and OID acceleration related to exited investments as well as lower professional fees, partially offset by higher interest expense and higher part I incentive fees. - Net asset value ("NAV") per share was
$7.26 as of March 31, 2022, down1.1% from$7.34 as of December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by unrealized losses related to credit spread widening, partially offset by undistributed net investment income. - Originated
$227.9 million of new investment commitments and received$180.1 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Of these new investment commitments,72% were first lien loans,7% were second lien loans,13% were subordinated debt investments and8% were equity investments. The weighted average yield on new debt investments was8.7% . - No investments were on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2022.
- Issued and sold 2.6 million shares of common stock under the Company's "at the market" equity offering during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The shares were issued at a premium to NAV, resulting in net proceeds of
$19.4 million after giving effect to sale agents' commissions and offering expenses. - Total debt outstanding was
$1,395.0 million as of March 31, 2022. The total debt to equity ratio was 1.05x, and the net debt to equity ratio was 1.02x, after adjusting for cash and cash equivalents. - Liquidity as of March 31, 2022 was composed of
$39.4 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and$455.0 million of undrawn capacity under the credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were$243.8 million , or$194.8 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Company's joint ventures. Of the$194.8 million , approximately$152.4 million can be drawn immediately with the remaining amount subject to certain milestones that must be met by portfolio companies. - A quarterly cash distribution was declared of
$0.16 5 per share, up3% from the prior quarter and the eighth consecutive quarterly distribution increase. The distribution is payable in cash on June 30, 2022 to stockholders of record on June 15, 2022.
Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said, “OCSL generated strong results in the second fiscal quarter. Our earnings were again solid, reflecting robust origination activity and successful exits of certain investments. Credit quality remains healthy with no non-accruals, a testament to our disciplined, risk-controlled investment approach. Based on our strong and consistent performance, we increased our dividend for the eighth consecutive quarter to

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing certain adjusted financial measures, each of which is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company and to review the Company’s performance without giving effect to non-cash income/gain resulting from the Merger and in the case of adjusted net investment income, without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The presentation of the below non-GAAP measures is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.
- "Adjusted Total Investment Income" and "Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share" – represents total investment income excluding any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the Merger.
- “Adjusted Net Investment Income” and “Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share” – represents net investment income, excluding (i) any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the Merger and (ii) capital gains incentive fees ("Part II incentive fees").
- “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes” and “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share” – represents net realized and unrealized gains (losses) net of taxes excluding any net realized and unrealized gains (losses) resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the Merger.
- “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” – represents the sum of (i) Adjusted Net Investment Income and (ii) Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes and includes the impact of Part II incentive fees1, if any.
On March 19, 2021, the Company completed the Merger. The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues ("ASC 805"). The consideration paid to stockholders of Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation ("OCSI") was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired other than "non-qualifying" assets, which established a new cost basis for the acquired OCSI investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was significantly lower than the historical cost basis of the acquired OCSI investments prior to the Merger. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Merger, the acquired OCSI investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized gain with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.
The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare its financial results with those of other business development companies that have not adjusted the cost basis of certain investments pursuant to ASC 805. The Company’s management believes "Adjusted Total Investment Income", "Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share", "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share" are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to the accretion income resulting from the new cost basis of the OCSI investments acquired in the Merger because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") under its amended and restated advisory agreement (the "A&R Advisory Agreement"), and specifically as its relates to "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share", without giving effect to Part II incentive fees. In addition, the Company’s management believes that “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes”, “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share”, “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” are useful to investors as they exclude the non-cash income/gain resulting from the Merger and are used by management to evaluate the economic earnings of its investment portfolio. Moreover, these metrics align the Company's key financial measures with the calculation of incentive fees payable to the Adviser under with the A&R Advisory Agreement (i.e., excluding amounts resulting solely from the lower cost basis of the acquired OCSI investments established by ASC 805 that would have been to the benefit of the Adviser absent such exclusion).
