Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation Announces First Fiscal Quarter 2020 Financial Results

and Declares Distribution of $0.095 Per Share

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

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2019

 

   

Total investment income was $31.0 million ($0.22 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2020, down from $34.5 million ($0.24 per share) for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting lower call protection fees earned on exits of investments as compared to the prior quarter as well as lower interest income resulting from decreases in LIBOR.

 

   

GAAP net investment income was $7.8 million ($0.06 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2020, down from $16.3 million ($0.12 per share) for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, primarily resulting from lower investment income and higher net expenses due to an increase in accrued capital gain incentive fees primarily driven by the impact of the two-year contractual fee waiver expiration. This was partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from decreases in LIBOR.

 

   

Adjusted net investment income was $14.1 million ($0.10 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2020, down from $16.7 million ($0.12 per share) for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting lower investment income, partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from decreases in LIBOR.

 

   

Net asset value (“NAV”) per share was $6.61 as of December 31, 2019, up from $6.60 as of September 30, 2019.

 

   

Originated $134.2 million of new investment commitments and received $97.0 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

 

   

A quarterly distribution was declared of $0.095 per share, payable on March 31, 2020 to stockholders of record on March 13, 2020.

 

   

Moody’s and Fitch each assigned OCSL investment grade credit ratings (Moody’s, Baa3 / Stable, and Fitch, BBB- / Stable)1.

Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said, “OCSL delivered another quarter of strong performance, highlighted by our eighth consecutive quarter of NAV growth. We successfully exited three non-core positions and added $134 million of new investments, the majority of which were privately placed to businesses that align with our late-cycle approach to investing. While leverage grew as a result of these originations, we remain below our target range and have ample dry powder and liquidity to invest opportunistically. In addition, we were recently assigned investment grade credit ratings by Fitch and Moody’s, reflecting the strength and quality of Oaktree’s credit platform, the progress that we have made in reducing exposure to non-core investments and our significant borrowing capacity. All told, we are off to a solid start to the fiscal year and believe we are well-positioned to deliver continued attractive risk-adjusted returns to our shareholders.”

Distribution Declaration

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.095 per share, payable on March 31, 2019 to stockholders of record on March 13, 2019.

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.

See Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Adjusted Net Investment Income below for a description of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation from net investment income to adjusted net investment income, including on a weighted-average per share basis. The Company’s management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The presentation of adjusted net investment income is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.

Total investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $31.0 million and included $28.4 million of interest income from portfolio investments, $1.2 million of payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income, $1.1 million of fee income and $0.3 million of dividend income. Total investment income decreased by $3.6 million as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019, primarily reflecting lower call protection fees earned on exits of investments as compared to the prior quarter as well as decreases in LIBOR that impacted our floating rate investments.

Net expenses for the quarter totaled $23.1 million, up $4.9 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net expenses was primarily due to a $5.2 million reversal of previously accrued fee waivers3. This was partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from decreases in LIBOR.

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. At the end of the two-year period, Oaktree permanently waived $3.9 million. Prior to the end of the two-year period, amounts potentially subject to waiver under the two-year contractual fee waiver were accrued quarterly based on a theoretical “liquidation basis.” As of September 30, 2019, the Company had accrued cumulative fee waivers of $9.1 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company reversed $5.2 million of previously accrued fee waivers since the two-year fee waiver period has ended.

Adjusted net investment income was $14.1 million ($0.10 per share) for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, down from $16.7 million ($0.12 per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, primarily reflecting lower investment income, partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from decreases in LIBOR.

Net realized and unrealized gains, net of taxes, were $6.0 million for the quarter, primarily reflecting realized gains from the sale of a portion of our investment in Yeti Holdings, Inc. and unrealized appreciation on certain debt and equity investments.

As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of the investment portfolio was $1.5 billion and was comprised of investments in 106 companies. These included debt investments in 81 companies, equity investments in 33 companies, including our limited partnership interests in two private equity funds, and our investment in Senior Loan Fund JV I, LLC (“SLF JV I”).

Nine of the equity investments were in companies in which the Company also had a debt investment.

 

3


As of December 31, 2019, 90.9% of the Company’s portfolio as of December 31, 2019 consisted of debt investments, including 56.7% of first liens, 22.8% of second liens and 11.4% of unsecured debt investments, including the debt investments in SLF JV I at fair value.

As of December 31, 2019, there were three investments on which the Company had stopped accruing cash and/or PIK interest or OID income that, in aggregate, represented 4.3% of the Company’s debt portfolio at cost and 0.03% at fair value.

As of December 31, 2019, SLF JV I had $351.7 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 51 portfolio companies. The joint venture generated income of $2.2 million for the Company during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, SLF JV I had $60.3 million of undrawn capacity on its senior revolving credit facility.

Over time, the Company intends to rotate out of the remaining investments it has identified as non-core investments, which were approximately $174.0 million at fair value as of December 31, 2019. It will also seek to redeploy non-income generating investments comprised of equity investments, limited partnership interests and loans currently on non-accrual status into proprietary investments with higher yields. Certain additional information on such categorization and the portfolio composition is included in investor presentations that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $21.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, total principal value of debt outstanding of $539.1 million and $322.2 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facility, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. The weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 4.5% and 4.8% as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

The Company’s total leverage ratio was 0.58x and 0.51x as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Investment Income

On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing adjusted net investment income and per share adjusted net investment income, each of which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP”). Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income, excluding capital gains incentive fees (“Part II incentive fee”). The Company’s management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The Company’s investment advisory agreement provides that a capital gains-based incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital appreciation) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis. Refer to Note 11 – Related Party Transactions in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion. The Company believes that adjusted net investment income is a useful performance measure because it reflects the net investment income produced on the Company’s investments during a period without giving effect to any changes in the value of such investments and any related capital gains incentive fees between periods. The presentation of adjusted net investment income is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income (the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure) to adjusted net investment income for the periods presented (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts; unaudited):

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Investment Income ($ in thousands, except per share amounts) As of 12/31/2019 9/30/2019 6/30/2019 3/31/2019 12/31/2018 GAAP net investment income $7,836 $16,275 $16,608 $17,709 $17,317 Part II incentive fee (net of waivers) 6,251 438 685 - - Adjusted net investment income $14,087 $16,713 $17,293 $17,709 $17,317 Per share: GAAP net investment income $0.06 $0.12 $0.12 $0.13 $0.12 Part II incentive fee (net of waivers) 0.04 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Adjusted net investment income $0.10 $0.12 $0.12 $0.13 $0.12 Note: On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing adjusted net investment income and per share adjusted net investment income, each of which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP”). Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income, excluding capital gains incentive fees ("Part II incentive fee"). The Company's management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The Company’s investment advisory agreement provides that a capital gains-based incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital appreciation) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis. Refer to Note 11 – Related Party Transactions in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion. The Company believes that adjusted net investment income is a useful performance measure because it reflects the net investment income produced on the Company's investments during a period without giving effect to any changes in the value of such investments and any related capital gains incentive fees between periods. The presentation of adjusted net investment income is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.
