Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ECC, ECCC, ECC PRD, ECCV, ECCW, ECCX) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and certain additional activity through July 31, 2023.

“Our portfolio generated another quarter of strong cash flows,” said Thomas Majewski, Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to focus on the more attractive secondary market, deploying $30 million of net capital into investments that we believe will generate compelling risk-adjusted returns. For the second quarter, we generated net investment income, less realized capital losses and excluding the amortized cost writedown of several investments, of $0.27 per share.”

“We also further strengthened our balance sheet in the quarter by utilizing our ‘at-the-market’ program to issue approximately $44 million of common stock at a premium to NAV. Looking ahead, our balance sheet remains well positioned with our 100% fixed-rate financing, and we expect to further grow our portfolio by deploying capital into new CLO investments at attractive effective yields,” concluded Mr. Majewski.
