Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation Announces Third Fiscal Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Declares Quarterly Distribution of $0.55 Per Share
Oaktree Specialty Lending (NASDAQ: OCSL) announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024. Total investment income was $95.0 million ($1.16 per share), a slight increase from $94.0 million ($1.18 per share) in the prior quarter, driven by higher interest income and OID accretion, but offset by non-accrual investments and lower amendment fees.
Adjusted total investment income was $95.6 million ($1.17 per share), down from $97.3 million ($1.22 per share). GAAP net investment income rose to $44.6 million ($0.54 per share) from $41.4 million ($0.52 per share). However, NAV per share decreased to $18.19 from $18.72, due to unrealized losses.
New investment commitments were $338.7 million with proceeds of $185.5 million from prepayments and sales. The quarterly distribution of $0.55 per share is payable on September 30, 2024, to stockholders of record on September 16, 2024.
Oaktree Specialty Lending (NASDAQ: OCSL) ha annunciato i risultati finanziari per il trimestre fiscale conclusosi il 30 giugno 2024. Il reddito totale da investimento è stato di 95,0 milioni di dollari (1,16 dollari per azione), un leggero aumento rispetto ai 94,0 milioni di dollari (1,18 dollari per azione) del trimestre precedente, grazie a un aumento del reddito da interessi e all'accrescimento dell'OID, ma parzialmente compensato da investimenti non accrual e minori commissioni di modifica.
Il reddito totale da investimento rettificato è stato di 95,6 milioni di dollari (1,17 dollari per azione), in calo rispetto ai 97,3 milioni di dollari (1,22 dollari per azione). Il reddito netto da investimento GAAP è salito a 44,6 milioni di dollari (0,54 dollari per azione) rispetto ai 41,4 milioni di dollari (0,52 dollari per azione). Tuttavia, il NAV per azione è diminuito a 18,19 dollari rispetto ai 18,72 dollari, a causa di perdite non realizzate.
I nuovi impegni d'investimento sono stati di 338,7 milioni di dollari con proventi di 185,5 milioni di dollari da rimborsi e vendite. La distribuzione trimestrale di 0,55 dollari per azione sarà pagabile il 30 settembre 2024 agli azionisti registrati il 16 settembre 2024.
Oaktree Specialty Lending (NASDAQ: OCSL) anunció sus resultados financieros para el trimestre fiscal que finalizó el 30 de junio de 2024. Los ingresos totales por inversiones fueron de 95,0 millones de dólares (1,16 dólares por acción), un ligero aumento respecto a los 94,0 millones de dólares (1,18 dólares por acción) del trimestre anterior, impulsados por un aumento en los ingresos por intereses y la acumulación de OID, pero compensados parcialmente por inversiones en no acumulación y menores tarifas de enmienda.
Los ingresos totales por inversiones ajustados fueron de 95,6 millones de dólares (1,17 dólares por acción), por debajo de los 97,3 millones de dólares (1,22 dólares por acción). Los ingresos netos por inversiones GAAP aumentaron a 44,6 millones de dólares (0,54 dólares por acción) desde 41,4 millones de dólares (0,52 dólares por acción).

Oaktree Specialty Lending (NASDAQ: OCSL)는 2024년 6월 30일 종료된 회계 분기의 재무 결과를 발표했습니다. 총 투자 수익은 9,500만 달러(주당 1.16달러)로, 이전 분기의 9,400만 달러(주당 1.18달러)보다 약간 증가했습니다. 이는 이자 수익 증가와 OID 증가에 기인했으나, 비수익 투자 및 낮은 수정 수수료로 상쇄되었습니다.
조정된 총 투자 수익은 9,560만 달러(주당 1.17달러)로, 9,730만 달러(주당 1.22달러)에서 감소했습니다. GAAP 순 투자 수익은 4,460만 달러(주당 0.54달러)로 증가했으며, 이전의 4,140만 달러(주당 0.52달러)에서 상승했습니다. 그러나 주당 NAV는 18.19달러로 감소했으며, 이는 18.72달러에서의 비실현 손실에 기인합니다.
새로운 투자 약정은 3억 3,870만 달러였으며, 선불 및 매각에서 1억 8,550만 달러의 수익이 있었습니다. 분기 배당금 0.55달러는 2024년 9월 30일에 기록된 주주에게 지급되며, 기록일은 2024년 9월 16일입니다.

LOS ANGELES, CA, Aug. 01, 2024 (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 June 30, 2024.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
- Total investment income was
$95.0 million ($1.16 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2024, as compared with$94.0 million ($1.18 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher interest income as a result of the growth in the investment portfolio and higher original issue discount (“OID”) accretion driven by purchase premium acceleration in the prior quarter from the repayment of certain investments acquired in the mergers with Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation (“OCSI”) and Oaktree Strategic Income II, Inc. (“OSI2”). This was partially offset by the impact of certain investments that were placed on non-accrual status and a decrease in amendment fees. Adjusted total investment income was$95.6 million ($1.17 per share) for the third fiscal quarter, as compared with$97.3 million ($1.22 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower interest income due to the impact of certain investments that were placed on non-accrual status and lower OID acceleration from investment repayments as well as a decrease in amendment fees. This was partially offset by higher coupon interest income as a result of the growth in the investment portfolio. - GAAP net investment income was
$44.6 million ($0.54 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2024, as compared with$41.4 million ($0.52 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The increase for the quarter was primarily driven by lower part I incentive fees (net of fees waived) and higher total investment income, partially offset by higher interest expense. - Adjusted net investment income was
$45.2 million ($0.55 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2024, as compared with$44.7 million ($0.56 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The increase for the quarter was primarily driven by lower part I incentive fees (net of fees waived), partially offset by lower adjusted total investment income and higher interest expense. The per share decrease for the quarter was driven by an increase in weighted average shares outstanding. - Net asset value ("NAV") per share was
$18.19 as of June 30, 2024, down as compared with$18.72 as of March 31, 2024. The decline from March 31, 2024 primarily reflected unrealized losses on certain debt and equity investments. - Waived part I incentive fees of
$3.2 million in addition to the$1.5 million of management fees waived for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. - Originated
$338.7 million of new investment commitments and received$185.5 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The weighted average yield on new debt investments was11.1% . - Total debt outstanding was
$1,740.0 million as of June 30, 2024. The total debt to equity ratio was 1.16x, and the net debt to equity ratio was 1.10x, after adjusting for cash and cash equivalents. - Liquidity as of June 30, 2024 was composed of
$96.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and$827.5 million of undrawn capacity under the Company's credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were$291.4 million , or$264.3 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Company's joint ventures. Of the$264.3 million , approximately$219.4 million can be drawn immediately with the remaining amount subject to certain milestones that must be met by portfolio companies or other restrictions. - A quarterly cash distribution was declared of
$0.55 per share. The distribution is payable in cash on September 30, 2024 to stockholders of record on September 16, 2024.
Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said “Our fiscal third quarter results were supported by continued origination activity, which led to portfolio growth and increased coupon interest income. Our originations in the third quarter were
“We remain focused on shifting our investment composition to first lien loans and on improving our portfolio quality and performance in this changing market environment. During the quarter, however, we experienced challenges at certain portfolio investments, resulting in a decline in NAV and an increase in non-accruals,” Panossian added. “We continue to leverage our expertise in navigating turnarounds with the goal of achieving favorable outcomes on these investments and generating value for our shareholders.”
“In addition to the permanent management fee reduction that went into effect on July 1, 2024, we have announced an incentive fee waiver as part of our third quarter results, which demonstrates our commitment to shareholders. We remain confident in our strategy and the ability of our portfolio to deliver sustainable and attractive returns.”
Distribution Declaration
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of
Distributions are paid primarily from distributable (taxable) income. To the extent taxable earnings for a fiscal taxable year fall below the total amount of distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to the Company’s stockholders.

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/loss resulting from the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 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 OCSI Merger and the OSI2 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 OCSI Merger and the OSI2 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 OCSI Merger and the OSI2 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.
The OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger (the "Mergers") were accounted for as asset acquisitions 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 each of the stockholders of OCSI and OSI2 were 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 investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was different than the historical cost basis of the acquired investments prior to the OCSI Merger or the OSI2 Merger, as applicable. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, the acquired investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete/amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation/depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete/amortize 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/loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation/depreciation 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 income resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired in the Mergers because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") under its second 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 and gain/loss resulting from the Mergers and are used by management to evaluate the economic earnings of its investment portfolio. Moreover, these metrics more closely 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 investments established by ASC 805 that would have been to the benefit of the Adviser absent such exclusion).

1 Adjusted earnings (loss) includes accrued Part II incentive fees. As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2024, there was no accrued Part II incentive fee liability. Part II incentive fees are contractually calculated and paid at the end of the fiscal year in accordance with the A&R Advisory Agreement, which differs from Part II incentive fees accrued under GAAP. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, no amounts were payable under the A&R Advisory Agreement.
