Investment Income

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, total investment income decreased to $10.3 million from $11.6 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to decreases in interest income of $0.5 million, dividend income of $0.5 million and fee income of $0.3 million.

The decrease in interest income was primarily attributed to the impact of lower SOFR rates driven by the U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts enacted in the fourth quarter of 2024. The $0.8 million aggregate net decrease in dividend and fee income was due to non-recurring amounts recognized in the prior quarter.

Expenses

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, total expenses decreased by $0.7 million to $6.8 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in incentive fees of $0.7 million as a result of the decrease in net investment income return on net assets in the current quarter.

Net Gain (Loss) on Investments

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a net loss on investments of $10.8 million due to net unrealized depreciation, net of taxes, of $8.2 million and net realized losses of $2.6 million.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, our net unrealized depreciation, net of taxes, of $8.2 million was primarily due to net unrealized depreciation of $7.3 million on our debt investments, of which $3.9 million related to non-accrual debt investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2025, we had $4.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, which includes $2.6 million held by OFSCC-FS, LLC (“OFSCC-FS”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Our use of cash held by OFSCC-FS is restricted by contractual conditions of our credit facility with BNP Paribas, including limitations on the amount of cash OFSCC-FS can distribute to us.

As of March 31, 2025, we had an unused commitment of $21.5 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Banc of California, as well as an unused commitment of $85.5 million under our revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas, both of which are subject to borrowing base requirements and other covenants.

As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding commitments to fund various undrawn revolvers and other credit facilities of portfolio companies totaling $13.8 million.
