FAQ

Why Neutral?

Despite stable income and increased core NII, NAV shrinkage signals underlying investment challenges. Historical examples show that stable earnings without NAV growth can lead to muted stock performance.

How important is it?

The article provides core financial metrics affecting OCCI's performance. The balance between stable income and reducing NAV is critical for future stock valuations.

Why Short Term?

The immediate return performance and dividend announcements may attract short-term trading. However, longer-term values depend on NAV recovery and market conditions.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OFS Credit Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCCI) (“OFS Credit,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), an investment company that primarily invests in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) equity and debt securities, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025. SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS Net investment income (“NII”) of $5.2 million, or $0.21 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025. This compares to NII of $5.2 million, or $0.23 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025. During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025, NII remained stable while NII per common share decreased by $0.02 to $0.21 due to a decrease in our net interest spread1. Core net investment income (“Core NII”)2 of $9.2 million, or $0.37 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025. This compares to Core NII of $7.5 million, or $0.34 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025. Core NII increased for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025, because recurring waterfall payments from CLO equity investments increased to $13.0 million from $10.9 million in the prior quarter, primarily attributable to an increase in issuers making their first payments since our investment. Net asset value (“NAV”) per common share of $6.17 at April 30, 2025, a decrease from NAV of $7.00 at January 31, 2025. This decrease in NAV was primarily due to a net loss on investments of $0.71 per common share. See additional information under “Results of Operations” below. During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025, the interest income yield3 of our investment portfolio was 14.04%, based on average amortized cost. During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025, we issued 2,317,132 shares of common stock through our At-the-Market offering, for net proceeds of $16.2 million, after deducting commissions, fees and offering costs. OTHER RECENT EVENTS As previously announced, on April 3, 2025, our board of directors (the “Board”) declared monthly cash distributions of $0.115 per common share for each of the three months in the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2025, which implies an annualized cash distribution rate of 20.7% based on the closing market price of $6.67 per common share on April 30, 2025. See additional information under “Distributions” below. On April 1, 2025, through a private placement, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our 8.00% Series G Term Preferred Stock due 2030 at a price of $24.25 per share, raising approximately $24.3 million in net proceeds, before offering costs. MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY “During our second fiscal quarter, we raised additional capital of approximately $40.4 million through the issuance of common and preferred stock,” said Bilal Rashid, Chief Executive Officer. “We deployed additional capital into our investment portfolio, which as of April 30, 2025, increased our weighted-average remaining reinvestment period to 3.4 years and weighted-average effective yield to 14.07%.” PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES As of April 30, 2025, the total fair value of our investment portfolio was $252.2 million, which was equal to 81.2% of amortized cost. For the quarter ended April 30, 2025, our CLO equity cash flow yield5 was 20.04% based on amortized cost. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Interest Income During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025, interest income increased to $10.2 million from $10.1 million during the prior quarter. The increase in interest income was primarily due to net investment deployment (purchases, net of sales and repayments) of $36.4 million, partially offset by a 0.64% decrease in the interest income yield of our investment portfolio as compared to the prior quarter. Expenses During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025, total expenses increased by $0.2 million to $5.1 million, primarily due to an increase of $0.2 million in interest expense related to one month of expense on our 8.00% Series G Term Preferred Stock due 2030. Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025, net loss on investments of $17.8 million was primarily due to net unrealized depreciation of $16.8 million on our CLO equity investments, attributable to meaningful widening in debt spread levels coupled with a decrease in underlying collateral loan prices during the quarter.

The Company’s investment activities are managed by OFS Capital Management, LLC, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 19407, as amended, and headquartered in Chicago with additional offices in New York and Los Angeles.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including those risks, uncertainties and factors referred to in documents that may be filed by OFS Credit from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), such as interest rate and inflation rate changes, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the agenda of the new U.S. presidential administration, including the impact of tariff enactment and tax reductions, trade disputes with other countries, instability in the U.S. and international banking systems, the risk of recession or a shutdown of U.S. government services and related market volatility, on our business, our portfolio companies, our industry and the global economy.

Supplemental Information Regarding Core Net Investment Income We provide information relating to Core NII (a non-GAAP measure) on a supplemental basis. This measure is not provided as a substitute for GAAP NII, but in addition to it. Our non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Core NII represents GAAP NII adjusted for differences in applicable cash distributions received on our CLO equity and equity-related investments that have not been optionally redeemed relative to income recognized in accordance with GAAP. OFS Capital Management, LLC, our investment adviser, uses this information in its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative in gauging the quality of the Company’s financial performance, identifying trends in its results, and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Income from investments in the “equity” class securities of CLO vehicles, for GAAP purposes, is recorded using the effective interest method; this is based on an estimated effective yield, at current amortized cost, to the expected redemption of the security utilizing assumed cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The result is an estimated effective yield for the investment in which the respective investment’s cost basis is adjusted quarterly based on the difference between the actual cash received, or distributions entitled to be received, and the income recognized via the estimated effective yield calculation. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity and equity-related securities in the GAAP statement of operations differs from the cash distributions actually received by the Company during the period (referred to below as “CLO equity adjustments”). Therefore, management believes that Core NII may provide a useful indicator of distributable operating income, as this reflects a measure of potential cash availability, net of operating expenses, that could be utilized to cover distributions to common stockholders. We note that this non-GAAP measure has no bearing on the tax character of the common stock distributions made during the period, and future distributions are not guaranteed. A portion of current and future common stock distributions may consist of a return of capital for tax purposes. The actual tax character of our earnings cannot be finally determined until our tax return is prepared after the close of our taxable year.
