Insights

Oxford Square Capital's latest earnings reveal both challenges and strengths in its BDC portfolio. The $0.09 NII per share for Q4 represents a 10% decrease from Q3's $0.10, while NAV declined from $2.35 to $2.30 per share. With the current stock price at $2.80, OXSQ trades at approximately 22% premium to NAV, suggesting investor confidence in the income potential despite the underlying asset value decline.

The $44.8 million in net realized losses is particularly noteworthy, though largely offset by $42.1 million in unrealized appreciation - indicating potential strategic repositioning within the portfolio. The improved weighted average credit rating (from 2.8 to 2.4 on principal basis) suggests enhanced portfolio quality despite these realized losses.

On the positive side, OXSQ's debt investments showed yield improvement to 15.8% from 14.5%, demonstrating better returns on new deployments or repricing of existing investments. Their CLO equity positions present a mixed picture - while effective yields decreased to 8.8%, cash distribution yields increased to 16.2%, potentially indicating return of capital components in distributions.

The company's strategic capital raise through ATM issuance ($5 million net proceeds) at prices above NAV suggests accretive growth for existing shareholders while providing capital for new investments. However, investors should monitor the modest decline in investment income and consistent expense levels, which compressed NII margins slightly quarter-over-quarter.

The 2.1% quarterly NAV decline and 10% reduction in NII per share warrant attention from OXSQ investors, though the overall performance remains relatively stable. The company continues deploying capital strategically, with $25.1 million in new investments slightly outpacing the $22 million in repayments and sales during Q4.

While not explicitly stated in the earnings release, the $44.8 million realized losses paired with $42.1 million unrealized appreciation suggests portfolio adjustments that may benefit future quarters through improved yield potential. The quality improvement in credit ratings indicates management is effectively managing risk while seeking yield in the current environment.

For income-focused investors, OXSQ continues its monthly distribution policy with declarations for April through June 2025, though specific amounts weren't disclosed in this release. The current premium-to-NAV trading level ($2.80 share price vs $2.30 NAV) reflects market recognition of the attractive income potential, but creates less margin of safety should NAV deterioration continue.

The divergent trends between CLO equity effective yields (declining to 8.8%) and cash distribution yields (increasing to 16.2%) deserve scrutiny, as higher cash yields compared to effective yields may indicate return of capital rather than sustainable income. The modest size of non-accrual investments ($5.1 million fair value) suggests contained credit issues, representing a small fraction of the overall portfolio.

(1)      Represents per share net investment income for the period, based upon weighted average shares outstanding.
(2)      Net realized and unrealized gains include rounding adjustments to reconcile change in net asset value per share.
(3)      Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The ultimate tax character of the Company’s earnings cannot be determined until tax returns are prepared after the end of the fiscal year.
(4)      Total return based on market value equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, assuming distribution reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, excluding any discounts divided by the beginning market value per share.
(5)      Total return based on net asset value equals the increase or decrease of ending net asset value over beginning net asset value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning net asset value.
(6)      Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of the annual investment sales and repayments of principal or annual investment purchases over the average of the total investments at fair value.
