Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation Announces Second Fiscal Quarter 2020 Financial Results

and Declares Distribution of $0.125 Per Share

LOS ANGELES, CA, May 7, 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 March 31, 2020.

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020

 

   

Total investment income was $10.3 million ($0.35 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2020, down from $11.6 million ($0.39 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of lower interest income due to the Company’s debt investment in OCSI Glick JV LLC (“OCSI Glick JV”) being placed on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2020.

 

   

Net investment income was $4.6 million ($0.15 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2020, as compared with $4.7 million ($0.16 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of lower investment income, mostly offset by lower incentive fees as a result of the investment adviser’s permanent waiver of Part I incentive fees for the quarter.

 

   

Net asset value (“NAV”) per share was $7.17 as of March 31, 2020, down 26% from $9.71 as of December 31, 2019. The decrease in NAV was primarily due to increased market volatility and wider credit spreads resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in the fair value of the investment portfolio was primarily unrealized and concentrated in liquid senior secured loans, which experienced sharp price declines in March.

 

   

Originated $93.9 million of new investment commitments and received $83.8 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Of these new investment commitments, 100% were first lien loans.

 

   

Total debt outstanding was $327.2 million as of March 31, 2020. The total debt to equity ratio was 1.55x, and the net debt to equity ratio was 1.44x, after adjusting for cash and cash equivalents.

 

   

Liquidity as of March 31, 2020 was composed of $21.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $77.8 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were $19.6 million, or $5.6 million when excluding unfunded commitments to the OCSI Glick JV.

 

   

Investment adviser permanently waived all incentive fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

   

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

Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said, “OCSI’s results reflect the unprecedented challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The broad-based sell-off in the credit markets during March impacted the prices of our liquid debt investments at quarter-end and was the primary contributor to the decline in NAV. Since then, following the unprecedented measures taken by policymakers to stimulate the economy, we have experienced a rebound in the prices of these investments through the end of April. While it is difficult to determine the ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have, we believe the overall credit quality of our mostly first lien portfolio remains strong.”

Matt Pendo, President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “OCSI entered this difficult environment on solid footing with leverage below our long-term target range. However, due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we reduced our cash distribution to $0.125 per share and our investment adviser will permanently waive incentive fees payable in the March quarter. We believe these actions are prudent and will help position OCSI to navigate through these challenging times.”

Distribution Declaration

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

Total investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $10.3 million and included $9.7 million of interest income from portfolio investments, $0.3 million of payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income and $0.4 million of fee income. Total investment income was $1.3 million lower as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to the Company’s debt investment in OCSI Glick JV being placed on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2020.

Net expenses for the quarter totaled $5.8 million, down $1.1 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2019. This was primarily attributable to a $0.9 million decrease in incentive fees as a result of the investment adviser’s permanent waiver of Part I incentive fees for the quarter.

Net realized and unrealized losses on the investment portfolio for the quarter were $74.8 million, and included $66 million of unrealized losses related to liquid investments1 and $5 million of unrealized losses in private investments on investments still held at March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio was $524.4 million and was composed of investments in 88 companies, including the OCSI Glick JV.

As of March 31, 2020, 92.8% of the Company’s portfolio at fair value consisted of senior secured floating-rate debt investments, including 90.6% of first liens and 2.2% of second liens, and 7.2% consisted of a subordinated note investment in the OCSI Glick JV.

The Company’s investments in the OCSI Glick JV totaled $37.8 million at fair value as of March 31, 2020, down 30% from $54.2 million as of December 31, 2019. The sequential decline in the value of the Company’s investments in the OCSI Glick JV was primarily driven by the OCSI Glick JV’s use of leverage and unrealized price declines in the underlying investment portfolio resulting from the broader market volatility. Excluding the impact of leverage, OCSI Glick JV’s underlying investment portfolio at fair value declined 14% during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

4


As of March 31, 2020, the OCSI Glick JV had $153.2 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 44 portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2020, OCSI Glick JV had $26.8 million of undrawn capacity (subject to borrowing base and other limitations) on its senior revolving credit facility.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company restructured its subordinated notes in the OCSI Glick JV to realign the vehicle for current market conditions. In connection with restructuring, the Company and its joint venture partner extended the notes’ maturity to October 20, 2028, reduced the spread from 6.50% to 4.50%, and the notes will not pay interest on its previously scheduled April 15, 2020 and July 15, 2020 coupon dates so cash will remain in the entity to support its NAV. Given that the notes will not pay interest for two quarters, the Company has placed them on non-accrual. The Company did not recognize any income from the OCSI Glick JV during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with the exception of two portfolio companies that modified their scheduled interest payment to PIK in order to preserve liquidity and the OCSI Glick JV, all of the Company’s portfolio companies made their scheduled interest payments during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had total principal value of debt outstanding of $327.2 million under its credit facilities. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities for the March 31, 2020 reporting period.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $21.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $77.8 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were $19.6 million, or $5.6 million when excluding unfunded investment commitments to the OCSI Glick JV. The Company has analyzed cash and cash equivalents, availability under its credit facilities, the ability to rotate out of certain assets and amounts of unfunded commitments that could be drawn and believe its liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities in the current economic climate.

As of March 31, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 3.8%, down from 4.0% as of December 31, 2019, primarily reflecting decreases to LIBOR.

The Company’s total debt to equity ratio was 1.55x and 1.07x as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s net debt to equity ratio was 1.44x and 1.04x as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Effective March 22, 2020, the Company amended its Deutsche Bank Facility to extend the revolving period and maturity date to September 30, 2020 and March 30, 2021, respectively, decrease the size of the facility from $250 million to $200 million and modify the interest rate to three-month LIBOR plus 2.25% through September 30, 2020, following which the interest rate will reset to three-month LIBOR plus 2.40% for the remaining term of the facility.

Recent Developments

As of April 30, 2020, the Company had $28 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $81 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were $18 million, or $4 million when excluding unfunded commitments to the OCSI Glick JV.
