NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Owl Rock Capital Corporation (NYSE: ORCC, or the "Company") today reported net investment income of $125.1 million, or $0.32 per share, and net loss of $34.9 million, or $(0.09) per share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. Reported net asset value per share was $14.48 at June 30, 2022 as compared to $14.88 at March 31, 2022.

Craig W. Packer, Chief Executive Officer of Owl Rock Capital Corporation commented, "The second quarter was another strong quarter for our business. Our earnings exceeded our dividend, our borrowers continued to perform well with only one name on non-accrual, and more volatile market conditions are creating attractive direct lending opportunities for which we are well positioned. Importantly, we also expect our earnings to benefit from rising interest rates beginning next quarter."

The Company's Board of Directors has declared a third quarter 2022 dividend of $0.31 per share for stockholders of record as of September 30, 2022, payable on or before November 15, 2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

Investment Income
Investment income increased to $273.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $249.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. In addition to the growth in the portfolio, the incremental increase in investment income was primarily due to an increase in dividend income. Included in interest income are other fees such as prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns. Period over period, income generated from these fees decreased. Other income increased period-over-period due to an increase in incremental fee income, which are fees that are generally available to us as a result of closing investments and generally paid at the time of closing. 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 $146.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $129.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was primarily due to an increase in interest expense and management and incentive fees. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by an increase in the average daily borrowings as well as an increase in the average interest rate. Management and incentive fees increased primarily due to an increase in our investment portfolio and dividend income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had $0.3 billion in cash and restricted cash, $7.2 billion in total principal value of debt outstanding, and $1.4 billion of undrawn capacity on our credit facilities. The Company's weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 3.2% and 2.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Ending net debt to equity was 1.20x and 1.17x as of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
