Oaktree Originates $41.6MM in New Financing Commitments in Q2

Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation, a specialty finance company, announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2020

Net asset value ("NAV") per share was $8.47 as of June 30, 2020, up more than 18% from $7.17 as of March 31, 2020. The increase in NAV was primarily attributable to unrealized gains resulting from price increases on liquid debt investments following the improvement in broader credit market conditions.

Total investment income was $8.6 million ($0.29 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2020, down from $10.3 million ($0.35 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2020, primarily reflecting lower interest income due to lower LIBOR, a smaller overall portfolio size and lower original issue discount ("OID") acceleration income, as well as lower fee income.

Net investment income was $3.2 million ($0.11 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2020, as compared with $4.6 million ($0.15 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2020, primarily driven by lower investment income, partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from lower LIBOR.

Originated $41.6 million of new investment commitments and received $90.7 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Of these new investment commitments, 100.0% were first lien loans. The weighted average yield on new investments was 9.5%.

Total debt outstanding was $312.2 million as of June 30, 2020. The total debt to equity ratio was 1.25x, and the net debt to equity ratio was 1.13x, after adjusting for cash and cash equivalents.

Liquidity as of June 30, 2020 was composed of $30.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $92.8 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were $31.6 million, or $17.6 million when excluding unfunded commitments to the OCSI Glick JV, with approximately $9.1 million that can be drawn immediately. The remaining $8.5 million is subject to certain milestones that must be met by one of the Company's portfolio companies.

A quarterly cash distribution was declared of $0.125 per share, payable on September 30, 2020 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2020.

Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said, “OCSI's quarter was highlighted by a strong rebound in NAV and a solid level of originations. Following an improvement in credit market conditions, NAV increased by more than 18 percent, and the overall credit quality of the mostly first lien investment portfolio remains sound amid the uncertain economic environment. While we modestly reduced the overall size of the portfolio during the quarter, OCSI was able to leverage Oaktree's opportunistic credit platform to originate $42 million of new investment commitments at attractive yields. Importantly, we remain well-positioned with a solid balance sheet and ample liquidity to meet our funding needs during this period of uncertainty."

Distribution Declaration

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.125 per share, payable on September 30, 2020 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2020.

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.
