GREENWICH, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: EIC, EICA, EICB, EICC) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and certain additional activity through April 30, 2025, and declared distributions on shares of the Company’s common and preferred stock. “We capitalized on the downturn in the latter part of Q1 by deploying capital into CLO debt at discounted prices,” said Thomas P. Majewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited to see convexity return in the CLO debt market; we expect these discounted opportunities will offer upside as the market continues to recover.” “Earlier today, we declared monthly common distributions of $0.13 per share for the third quarter of 2025. In light of 100 basis points of Fed rate cuts over the past nine months, we believe the new distribution level more closely reflects the Company’s near-term earnings potential in today’s lower interest rate environment. Looking ahead, the Company has liquidity and will continue investing opportunistically during these volatile markets, which should enhance the Company’s net investment income over time,” concluded Mr. Majewski.
