FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portman Ridge Finance Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

August 7, 2025

Completed Merger with Logan Ridge Finance Corporation

Reports Net Investment Income of $4.6 Million, or $0.50 Per Share for the Second Quarter

Announces Third Quarter 2025 Quarterly Base Distribution of $0.47 Per Share and Supplemental Distribution of $0.02 per share

NEW YORK, August 7, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (Nasdaq: PTMN) (the “Company” or “Portman Ridge”) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Transformational Milestone

 

   

On July 15, 2025, Portman Ridge closed the previously announced merger of Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (“Logan Ridge”) with and into Portman Ridge, with Portman Ridge remaining as the surviving company.

 

   

We believe the combined company’s enhanced scale with total assets in excess of $600 million (as of July 11, 2025), its further diversified portfolio, cost savings due to lower overall operating expenses, and improved stock trading liquidity will deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.

 

   

In the following weeks, Portman Ridge will rebrand and begin operating under the name BCP Investment Corporation. In connection with the rebranding, the Company will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol “BCIC”.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

 

   

Total investment income for the second quarter of 2025 was $12.6 million, up from $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2025.

 

   

Core investment income1, excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, for the second quarter of 2025 was $12.6 million, as compared to $12.1 million for the first quarter of 2025.

 

   

Net investment income (“NII”) for the second quarter of 2025 was $4.6 million ($0.50 per share), as compared to $4.3 million ($0.47 per share) in the first quarter of 2025.

 
1 

Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase discount accretion in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance.


   

Net asset value (“NAV”), as of June 30, 2025, was $164.7 million ($17.89 per share), as compared to NAV of $173.5 million ($18.85 per share) as of March 31, 2025.

 

   

Deployments of approximately $10.9 million and sales and repayments of approximately $17.0 million, resulting in net repayments and sales of approximately $6.1 million.

Subsequent Events

 

   

On August 7, 2025, the Company declared a regular quarterly base distribution of $0.47 per share of common stock and a supplemental cash distribution of $0.02 per share of common stock. The distribution is payable on August 29, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 18, 2025.

 

   

On July 15, 2025, the Company announced the completion of its acquisition of Logan Ridge Finance Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“LRFC”, and such transaction, the “LRFC Acquisition”), pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, dated January 29, 2025 (the “LRFC Merger Agreement”). To effect the acquisition, a wholly owned merger subsidiary of the Company merged with and into LRFC, with LRFC surviving the merger as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Immediately thereafter and as a single integrated transaction, LRFC consummated a second merger, whereby LRFC merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger. Based on July 11, 2025 financial data, the combined company had total assets in excess of $600 million. Under the terms of the LRFC Merger Agreement, each share of LRFC common stock issued and outstanding was converted into the right to receive 1.500 newly-issued shares of common stock of the Company with cash to be paid (without interest) in lieu of fractional shares. As additional consideration funded by LRFC’s investment adviser, LRFC shareholders of record as of May 6, 2025 received a cash payment of $0.47 per share. In addition, LRFC shareholders of record as of July 14, 2025 received a tax distribution of $0.38 per share from LRFC. The Company will seek to leverage the combined company’s enhanced scale, further diversified portfolio, cost savings due to lower overall operating expenses, and improved stock trading liquidity to deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns for its shareholders. Please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 16, 2025 for more information.

Management Commentary

Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Portman Ridge, stated, “We continued to advance our strategic priorities in the second quarter, generating net investment income of $4.6 million, or $0.50 per share, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.47 per share, in the prior quarter. Our focus remains on maintaining a high-quality portfolio and delivering long-term value to our shareholders.

The recent completion of our merger with Logan Ridge marks a transformational milestone for the Company. We’re proud to have successfully closed this transaction and expect it to provide increased scale, broader portfolio diversification, enhanced financial flexibility, and earnings accretion generated by cost synergies under the Company’s new name and ticker. We believe the combined platform will support stronger operating efficiency and improved shareholder outcomes over time.

To reflect this next chapter and the strength of our adviser, we will be changing our corporate name to BCP Investment Corporation (Nasdaq: BCIC) in the following weeks. The new name highlights our alignment with BC Partners, a global alternative investment platform with deep credit expertise, and reinforces our commitment to building a leading Business Development Company.

As we move forward, we remain committed to disciplined investment execution, active portfolio management, and thoughtful capital allocation, all with the goal of generating attractive, long-term returns for our shareholders.”


Selected Financial Highlights

 

   

Total investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $12.6 million, of which $10.9 million was attributable to interest income, inclusive of payment-in-kind income, from the Debt Securities Portfolio. This compares to total investment income of $16.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, of which $13.9 million was attributable to interest income, inclusive of payment-in-kind income, from the Debt Securities Portfolio.

 

   

Core investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, excluding the impact of purchase discount accretion, was $12.6 million, as compared to core investment income of $16.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

 

   

Net investment income (“NII”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $4.6 million ($0.50 per share) as compared to $6.5 million ($0.70 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

 

   

Net asset value (“NAV”) as of June 30, 2025, was $164.7 million ($17.89 per share), as compared to $173.5 million ($18.85 per share) for the first quarter of 2025.

 

   

Investment portfolio at fair value as of June 30, 2025, was $395.1 million, comprised of 96 different portfolio companies. Our debt investment portfolio, excluding our investments in the CLO Funds, equities and Joint Ventures, totaled $323.1 million at fair value as of June 30, 2025, and was spread across 25 different industries comprised of 69 different portfolio companies with an average par balance per entity of approximately $2.6 million. This compares to a total investment portfolio at fair value as of March 31, 2025, of $406.4 million, comprised of 93 different portfolio companies. Our debt investment portfolio, excluding our investments in the CLO Funds, equities and Joint Ventures, totaled $324.8 million at fair value as of March 31, 2025, spread across 24 different industries and comprised of 72 different portfolio companies, with an average par balance per entity of approximately $2.6 million.

 

   

Debt investments on non-accrual, as of June 30, 2025, were six, representing 2.1% and 4.8% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. This compares to six debt investments representing 2.6% and 4.7% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of March 31, 2025.

 

   

Weighted average annualized yield was approximately 10.7% (excluding income from non-accruals and collateralized loan obligations) as of June 30, 2025.

 

   

Par value of outstanding borrowings, as of June 30, 2025, was $255.4 million, which remained unchanged from March 31, 2025, with an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of 165% as compared to 168% as of March 31, 2025. On a net basis, leverage as of June 30, 2025, was 1.4x2 compared to 1.3x2 as of March 31, 2025.

 
2 

Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. Portman Ridge believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $24.6 million and $23.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial condition.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash of $11.2 million and restricted cash of $13.4 million. This compares to unrestricted cash of $9.2 million and restricted cash of $14.3 million as of March 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $52.6 million of available borrowing capacity under the JPM Credit Facility.


Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including SOFR and prime rates.

As of June 30, 2025, approximately 86.9% of our Debt Securities Portfolio at par value were either floating rate with a spread to an interest rate index such as SOFR or the PRIME rate. 86.5% of these floating rate loans contain floors ranging between 0.50% and 5.25%. We generally expect that future portfolio investments will predominately be floating rate investments.

In periods of rising or lowering interest rates, the cost of the portion of debt associated with the 4.875% Notes Due 2026 would remain the same, given that this debt is at a fixed rate, while the interest rate on borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility would fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

Generally, the Company would expect that an increase in the base rate index for floating rate investment assets would increase gross investment income and a decrease in the base rate index for such assets would decrease gross investment income (in either case, such increase/decrease may be limited by interest rate floors/minimums for certain investment assets).

The matters discussed in this press release, as well as in future oral and written statements by management of Portman Ridge Finance Corporation, that are forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and include, but are not limited to, projected financial performance, expected development of the business, plans and expectations about future investments and the future liquidity of the Company. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “outlook”, “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements.

Important assumptions include our ability to originate new investments, and achieve certain margins and levels of profitability, the availability of additional capital, and the ability to maintain certain debt to asset ratios. 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 that such plans, estimates, expectations or objectives will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include, among others, (1) uncertainty of the expected financial performance of the Company; (2) expected synergies and savings associated with merger transactions effectuated by the Company; (3) the ability of the Company and/or its adviser to implement its business strategy; (4) evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes; (5) changes in general economic and/or industry specific


conditions, including but not limited to the impact of inflation; (6) the impact of increased competition; (7) business prospects and the prospects of the Company’s portfolio companies; (8) contractual arrangements with third parties; (9) any future financings by the Company; (10) the ability of Sierra Crest Investment Management LLC to attract and retain highly talented professionals; (11) the Company’s ability to fund any unfunded commitments; (12) any future distributions by the Company; (13) changes in regional or national economic conditions and their impact on the industries in which we invest; and (14) other changes in the conditions of the industries in which we invest and other factors enumerated in our filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and other SEC filings. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required to be reported under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Although the Company undertakes 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 they may make directly to you or through reports that the Company in the future may file with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

Exhibit 99.2 Q2 2025 Earnings Presentation August 8, 2025


Important Information Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements. The matters discussed in this presentation, as well as in future oral and written statements by management of Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (“PTMN”, “Portman Ridge” or the “Company”), that are forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and include, but are not limited to, projected financial performance, expected development of the business, plans and expectations about future investments, our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties, the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives, the ability of the Company’s investment adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals, our ability to maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company and as a business development company, our compliance with covenants under our borrowing arrangements, and the future liquidity of the Company. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates, could, intends, target, projects, “outlook”, contemplates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other similar words. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions. More information on these risks and other potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results, including important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from plans, estimates or expectations included herein, is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in the “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q and annual report on Form 10-K, as well as in subsequent filings. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required to be reported under the rules and regulations of the SEC. 2

This compares to total investment income of $12.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, of which $10.3 million was attributable to interest income, inclusive of payment-in-kind income, from the Debt Securities Portfolio and $16.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, of which $13.9 million was attributable to interest income, inclusive of payment-in-kind income, from the Debt Securities Portfolio. ▪ Core investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, excluding the impact of purchase discount accretion, was $12.6 million, as compared to core investment income of $12.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and $16.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. ▪ Net investment income (“NII”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $4.6 million ($0.50 per share) as compared to $4.3 million ($0.47 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and $6.5 million ($0.70 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. ▪ Net asset value (“NAV”) as of June 30, 2025, was $164.7 million ($17.89 per share), as compared to $173.5 million ($18.85 per share) for the first quarter of 2025. ▪ Deployments of approximately $10.9 million and repayments and sales of approximately $17.0 million, resulting in net repayments and sales of approximately $6.1 million. ▪ Investment portfolio at fair value as of June 30, 2025, was $395.1 million, comprised of 96 different portfolio companies. Our debt investment portfolio, excluding our investments in the CLO Funds, equities and Joint Ventures, totaled $323.1 million at fair value as of June 30, 2025, and was spread across 25 different industries comprised of 69 different portfolio companies with an average par balance per entity of approximately $2.6 million. This compares to a total investment portfolio at fair value as of March 31, 2025, of $406.4 million, comprised of 93 different portfolio companies. Our debt investment portfolio, excluding our investments in the CLO Funds, equities and Joint Ventures, totaled $324.8 million at fair value as of March 31, 2025, and was spread across 24 different industries and comprised of 72 different portfolio companies, with an average par balance per entity of approximately $2.6 million. ▪ Debt investments on non-accrual, as of June 30, 2025, were six, representing 2.1% and 4.8% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. This compares to six debt investments representing 2.6% and 4.7% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of March 31, 2025. ▪ Weighted average annualized yield, excluding income from non-accruals and collateralized loan obligations, was approximately 10.7% as of June 30, 2025. ▪ Par value of outstanding borrowings, as of June 30, 2025, was $255.4 million, which remained unchanged from March 31, 2025, with an asset coverage ratio of (2) (2) total assets to total borrowings of 165% as compared to 168% as of March 31, 2025. On a net basis, leverage as of June 30, 2025, was 1.4x compared to 1.3x as of March 31, 2025. ▪ Distribution: Declared a regular quarterly base distribution of $0.47 per share of common stock, and a supplemental cash distribution of $0.02 per share of common stock. The distributions are payable on August 29, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 18, 2025. (1) Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase price discount accounting in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection 3 with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance. (2) Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. Portman Ridge believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $24.6 million and $23.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial condition.
