OFS Credit Company Announces Financial Results for the First Fiscal Quarter 2024

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 January 31, 2024.

FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net investment income (“NII”) of $4.6 million, or $0.29 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2024. This compares to NII of $5.3 million, or $0.36 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2023. The decrease in net investment income per common share was primarily due to a decrease in interest income. See additional information under “Results of Operations” below.
  • Core net investment income (“Core NII”)1 of $7.2 million, or $0.45 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2024. This compares to Core NII of $9.1 million, or $0.62 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2023. The decrease in Core NII was primarily due to a decrease in total waterfall payments from CLO equity investments of $1.3 million, to $8.8 million.
  • Net asset value (“NAV”) per common share of $7.68 as of January 31, 2024, an increase of $0.13 from NAV of $7.55 as of October 31, 2023.
  • During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2024, the earned income yield of our investment portfolio at amortized cost was 14.81%.

OTHER RECENT EVENTS

  • As previously announced, on February 1, 2024, our board of directors (the “Board”) declared monthly cash distributions of $0.10 per common share for each of the three months in the quarter ending April 30, 2024. The Board also declared monthly cash distributions on our outstanding preferred stock through July 31, 2024. See additional information under “Distributions” below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest Income

During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2024, interest income decreased by $0.6 million to $8.4 million compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to non-recurring interest income recognized upon the repayment of a loan accumulation facility during the prior quarter.

Expenses

During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2024, total expenses increased by $0.1 million to $3.8 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in professional fees and other expenses, and partially offset by a decrease in incentive fees.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss)

During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2024, net gain on investments of $2.3 million was comprised of net unrealized appreciation of $4.2 million, partially offset by net realized losses of $1.9 million. Net unrealized appreciation of $4.2 million was primarily due to meaningful tightening in debt spread levels and an increase in underlying collateral loan prices during the quarter.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan – DRIP Shares Issued at 95% of Market Price

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release regarding management’s future expectations, beliefs, intentions, goals, strategies, plans or prospects, including statements relating to: the Company’s results of operations, including NII, Core NII, earnings per share and net asset value and the factors that may affect such results; management’s belief that our long-dated and fixed-rate preferred stock financing, at below current market rates, affords us operational flexibility to create stockholder value in this interest rate environment; and other factors may constitute forward-looking statements. 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 elevated interest and inflation rates, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the escalated armed conflict in the Middle East, 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. Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and, as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including Annual and Semi-Annual Reports on Form N-CSR and monthly portfolio investments reports filed on Form N-PORT for the third month of each of our fiscal quarters.

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 in the event of similar terms being utilized to identify such measures. Core NII represents GAAP NII adjusted for differences in applicable cash distributions received on our CLO equity investments 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 effective yield to the expected redemption utilizing estimated cash flows, at current amortized cost, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The result is an 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 effective yield calculation. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity 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”).

Furthermore, in order for the Company to continue to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated investment company, we are required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income annually. Therefore, Core NII may provide a better indication of our estimated taxable income for a reporting period than GAAP NII; we can offer no assurance that will be the case, however, as the ultimate tax character of our earnings cannot be determined until our tax returns are prepared after the close of a fiscal year. We note that this non-GAAP measure may not serve as a useful indicator of taxable earnings, particularly during periods of market disruption and volatility, and, as such, our taxable income may differ materially from our Core NII.

The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP NII to Core NII for the fiscal quarters ended January 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 (unaudited):
