“We are pleased to announce a distribution increase for the third quarter of 2023,” said Bilal Rashid, OFS Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Today we reported another increase in our quarterly net investment income, which rose to $0.38 per common share, and was the third consecutive increase in our quarterly net investment income. We believe our balance sheet is well positioned in the current interest rate environment with the vast majority of our loan portfolio being floating rate and the majority of our debt being fixed-rate. At the end of the second quarter, approximately 86% of our outstanding debt matures in 2026 or later, and more than half of our outstanding debt is unsecured.”

Average performing interest-bearing investments, at cost	$	406.5		$	410.0

(2)	Performing income yield is calculated as (a) the actual amount earned on performing interest-bearing investments, including interest, prepayment fees and amortization of net loan fees, divided by (b) the weighted-average of total performing interest-bearing investments at amortized cost.
(3)	Realized yield is calculated as (a) the actual amount earned on interest-bearing investments, including interest, prepayment fees and amortization of net loan fees, divided by (b) the weighted-average of total interest-bearing investments at amortized cost, in each case, including debt investments on non-accrual status and non-income producing structured finance securities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investment Income

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, total investment income increased to $14.5 million from $14.3 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in total interest income of $0.7 million. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in our portfolio’s weighted-average performing income yield to 13.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from 13.0% in the prior quarter.

Expenses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, total expenses increased by $0.1 million to $9.4 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in interest expense stemming from increasing interest rates on our variable rate revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas.

Net Gain (Loss) on Investments

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a net loss on investments of $7.1 million, primarily due to unrealized depreciation of $4.3 million and $2.7 million on our structured finance securities and equity securities, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, our loan portfolio experienced net gains of $1.0 million.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we wrote-off a non-accrual loan and equity investment resulting in a loss of $0.4 million, net of the reversal of previously recognized unrealized depreciation, and a gross realized loss of $10.5 million on our invested capital.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2023, we had $6.8 million in cash, which includes $1.4 million held by our wholly owned small business investment company, OFS SBIC I, LP (“SBIC I LP”), and $3.5 million held by OFSCC-FS, LLC (“OFSCC-FS”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Our use of cash held by SBIC I LP and OFSCC-FS is restricted by regulatory and/or contractual conditions, including limitations on the amount of cash SBIC I LP and OFSCC-FS can distribute to us.

As of June 30, 2023, we had an unused commitment of $24.5 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Pacific Western Bank, as well as an unused commitment of $48.9 million under our revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas, both of which are subject to borrowing base requirements and other covenants. As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $15.8 million under various undrawn revolvers and other credit facilities.
