For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net realized loss rounds to an amount of less than $0.01 per common share.

“We are pleased to announce another increase in our quarterly net investment income. We expect to continue to see the benefits of our positioning in this rising interest rate environment with the vast majority of our loan portfolio being floating rate and the majority of our debt being fixed-rate,” said Bilal Rashid, OFS Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “At the end of the first quarter, approximately 85% of our outstanding debt matures in 2026 or later, and more than half of our outstanding debt is unsecured.”

The weighted-average yield of our investments is not the same as a return on investment for our stockholders, but rather relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our fees and expenses.

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 March 31, 2023, total investment income increased to $14.3 million from $14.0 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in dividend income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, dividend income of $0.8 million was primarily related to a $0.5 million dividend from Pfanstiehl Holdings, Inc.

Expenses

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, total expenses increased by $0.1 million to $9.3 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 March 31, 2023, we recognized a net loss on investments of $1.1 million, or $0.09 per common share, primarily due to issuer specific declines on certain debt investments and structured finance securities, partially offset by net unrealized appreciation on our equity investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2023, we had $10.8 million in cash, which includes $3.1 million held by our wholly owned small business investment company, OFS SBIC I, LP (“SBIC I LP”), and $3.6 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 contractual conditions, including limitations on the amount of cash SBIC I LP and OFSCC-FS can distribute to us.

As of March 31, 2023, we had an unused commitment of $20.0 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Pacific Western Bank, as well as an unused commitment of $49.0 million under our revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas, both of which are subject to borrowing base requirements and other covenants. Based on our regulatory asset coverage ratio at March 31, 2023, we could access our aggregate unused lines of credit of $69.0 million, subject to the provisions of the borrowing bases as of any borrowing date, and remain in compliance with asset coverage ratio requirements.

Schedule 1

Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income

On a supplemental basis, we disclose adjusted net investment income (“Adjusted NII”) (including on a per share basis), which is a financial measure calculated and presented on basis other than in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted NII represents net investment income, excluding the capital gains incentive fee, in periods in which such expense occurs. GAAP requires recognition of a capital gains incentive fee in our financial statements when aggregate net realized and unrealized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis is positive from the date of the election to be a BDC through the reporting date. Such fees are subject to further conditions specified in the investment advisory agreement with OFS Capital Management, LLC, principally related to the realization of such net gains, before OFS Capital Management, LLC is entitled to payment, and such recognized fees are subject to the risk of reversal should unrealized gains diminish to become losses. Management believes that Adjusted NII is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net capital gains incentive fee, as net investment income does not include the net gains, realized or unrealized, associated with the capital gains incentive fee. Management believes Adjusted NII facilitates the analysis of our results of operations and provides greater transparency into the determination of incentive fees. Adjusted NII is not meant as a substitute for net investment income determined in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in the context of the entirety of our reported results of operations, financial position and cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation from net investment income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted NII for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited):
