Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation Announces First Fiscal Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Declares Distribution of $0.155 Per Share

LOS ANGELES, CA, February 6, 2020 - Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation (NASDAQ: OCSI) (“Oaktree Strategic Income” or the “Company”), a specialty finance company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019.

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2019

 

   

Total investment income was $11.6 million ($0.39 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2020, down from $12.1 million ($0.41 per share) for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting lower interest income due to decreases in LIBOR and a smaller average investment portfolio.

 

   

Net investment income was $4.7 million ($0.16 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2020, as compared with $5.1 million ($0.17 per share) for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting lower investment income.

 

   

Net asset value (“NAV”) per share was $9.71 as of December 31, 2019, up $0.06 as compared to $9.65 as of September 30, 2019. The increase in NAV was primarily due to unrealized appreciation on the investment portfolio.

 

   

Originated $34.9 million of new investment commitments and received $46.0 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

 

   

A quarterly distribution was declared of $0.155 per share, payable on March 31, 2020 to stockholders of record on March 13, 2020.

Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said, “OCSI produced solid first-quarter results, highlighted by NAV appreciation, steady progress rotating out of non-core investments, and selective originations. We exited two non-core positions, and we originated $35 million in mostly first lien investments that are consistent with our late-cycle investment approach. Credit quality remains excellent with no investments on non-accrual, and with 97% of the non-JV portfolio in first lien loans, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns to our shareholders.”

Distribution Declaration

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.155 per share, payable on March 31, 2020 to stockholders of record on March 13, 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.

Total investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $11.6 million and included $11.2 million of interest income from portfolio investments and $0.4 million of fee income. Total investment income was $0.5 million lower as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to lower interest income earned due to decreases in LIBOR that impacted our floating rate investments and a smaller average investment portfolio.

Net expenses of $6.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 were relatively flat as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. This was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million decrease in interest expense resulting from decreases in LIBOR, offset by a $0.1 million increase in Part I incentive fees (net of waivers), which was primarily attributable to lower investment income and lower fees waived in connection with the expiration of the two-year contractual fee waiver period1, as well as a $0.1 million increase in professional fees.

Net realized and unrealized gains on the investment portfolio for the quarter were $1.4 million, primarily reflecting unrealized appreciation on certain debt investments.

To ensure compliance with Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) entered into a two-year contractual fee waiver with the Company, which ended on October 17, 2019, pursuant to which Oaktree waived any management or incentive fees payable under the investment advisory agreement that exceeded what would have been paid to the Company’s former investment adviser in the aggregate under the former investment advisory agreement.
