Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation Announces Second Fiscal Quarter 2021 Financial
Results and Declares Increased Distribution of $0.13 Per Share
LOS ANGELES, CA, May 6, 2021 - Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation (NASDAQ: OCSL) (“Oaktree Specialty Lending” or the “Company”), a specialty finance company, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2021
| • | Total investment income was $41.9 million ($0.29 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2021, up from $38.2 million ($0.27 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a larger investment portfolio due to new originations, the increase in assets resulting from the merger with Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation (“OCSI”) that was completed during the quarter (the “Merger”) and OID accretion that resulted from merger-related accounting adjustments. Excluding the merger-related income accretion, adjusted total investment income was $41.3 million ($0.28 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2021. |
| • | GAAP net investment income was $18.1 million ($0.12 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2021, as compared with $10.0 million ($0.07 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher total investment income and lower accrued Part II incentive fees. |
| • | Adjusted net investment income was $21.1 million ($0.14 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2021, up slightly from $19.6 million ($0.14 per share) for the first fiscal quarter of 2021. |
| • | Net asset value (“NAV”) per share was $7.09 as of March 31, 2021, up 4% from $6.85 as of December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by realized and unrealized gains on certain debt and equity investments during the quarter. |
| • | Originated $317.7 million of new investment commitments1 and received $228.9 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Of these new investment commitments, 80% were first lien loans, 14% were second lien loans and 5% were preferred equity investments. The weighted average yield on new debt investments was 8.2%. |
| • | No investments were on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2021. |
| • | Total debt outstanding was $1,114.8 million as of March 31, 2021. The total debt to equity ratio was 0.87x, and the net debt to equity ratio was 0.84x, after adjusting for cash and cash equivalents. |
| • | Liquidity as of March 31, 2021 was composed of $39.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $325.2 million of undrawn capacity under the credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were $257.1 million, or $241.8 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Company’s joint ventures. Of the $241.8 million, approximately $191.7 million can be drawn immediately as the remaining amount is subject to certain milestones that must be met by portfolio companies. |
| • | Completed the Merger on March 19, 2021, which added $504.2 million of investments at fair value. |
| • | A quarterly cash distribution was declared of $0.13 per share, up 8% from the prior quarter and the fourth consecutive quarterly distribution increase. The distribution will be paid in cash and is payable on June 30, 2021 to stockholders of record on June 15, 2021. |
| 1 | Amounts exclude assets acquired in the Merger. |

Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said, “OCSL generated solid earnings results in the second quarter. Net asset value per share grew by 4%, supported by continued price appreciation on our high-quality investment portfolio. Our originations were once again strong and spread across a variety of industries to a mix of sponsor and non-sponsor owned businesses, demonstrating the breadth of Oaktree’s sourcing platform. Additionally, we capitalized on the current market environment by harvesting realized gains on some of our liquid debt securities and rotating out of lower yielding investments into higher yielding, proprietary ones.”
Mr. Panossian continued, “The closing of the Merger on March 19 was, of course, another highlight of the quarter. We believe the combined company will provide significant value to our shareholders. As a result of our continued strong performance and potential to improve earnings following the merger, our Board of Directors announced a fourth consecutive quarterly dividend increase to $0.13 per share, up 37% from the level one year ago.”
Mathew Pendo, President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “Since the closing of the Merger, we’ve made great progress in improving the flexibility of our balance sheet. Earlier this week, we amended and extended our syndicated credit facility, increasing its size to $950 million while achieving favorable terms. We also retired a higher-cost SPV facility that was inherited from OCSI. While there is still more to be done, we believe these actions will allow us to more optimally fund investments while reducing our overall cost of debt capital.”
Distribution Declaration
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.13 per share, an increase of 8%, or $0.01 per share, from the prior quarter and the fourth consecutive quarterly distribution increase, payable on June 30, 2021 to stockholders of record on June 15, 2021.
Distributions are paid primarily from distributable (taxable) income. To the extent taxable earnings for a fiscal taxable year fall below the total amount of distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to the Company’s stockholders.

Adjusted total investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $41.3 million and included $35.0 million of interest income from portfolio investments, $3.8 million of payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income, $2.3 million of fee income and $0.2 million of dividend income. The increase of $3.1 million in adjusted total investment income for the quarter was primarily driven by a larger investment portfolio due to new originations and the increase in assets resulting from the Merger.
Net expenses for the quarter totaled $23.8 million, down $4.4 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in net expenses was primarily driven by $5.9 million of lower accrued Part II incentive fees, partially offset by $0.5 million of higher interest expense due to an increase in borrowings outstanding and $0.4 million of higher net base management fees resulting from the larger investment portfolio.
Adjusted net investment income was $21.1 million ($0.14 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, up slightly from $19.6 million ($0.14 per share) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by $3.1 million of higher adjusted total investment income, partially offset by higher net expenses excluding Part II incentive fees.
3
Adjusted net realized and unrealized gains, net of taxes, were $36.6 million for the quarter and were primarily driven by gains on certain debt and equity investments.

As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the investment portfolio was $2.3 billion and was composed of investments in 137 companies. These included debt investments in 116 companies, equity investments in 35 companies, including limited partnership interests in one private equity fund, and the Company’s joint venture investments in Senior Loan Fund JV I, LLC (“SLF JV I”) and OCSI Glick JV LLC (“Glick JV”). 16 of the equity investments were in companies in which the Company also had a debt investment.
As of March 31, 2021, 94.1% of the Company’s portfolio at fair value consisted of debt investments, including 68.3% of first lien loans, 18.2% of second lien loans and 7.6% of unsecured debt investments, including the debt investments in SLF JV I and Glick JV. This compared to 60.3% of first lien loans, 25.4% of second lien loans and 8.7% of unsecured debt investments, including the debt investments in SLF JV I, at fair value as of December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, there were no investments on non-accrual status. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company exited one investment that was previously on non-accrual above its fair value as of December 31, 2020.
The Company’s investments in SLF JV I totaled $130.4 million at fair value as of March 31, 2021, up 4% from $125.5 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase in the value of the Company’s investments in SLF JV I was primarily driven by unrealized appreciation of certain liquid debt investments in the underlying investment portfolio.
As of March 31, 2021, SLF JV I had $352.4 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 55 portfolio companies. This compared to $341.2 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 56 portfolio companies, as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, one investment held by SLF JV I was on non-accrual status, which represented 0.7% of the SLF JV I portfolio at cost and 0.6% at fair value. SLF JV I generated income of $1.7 million for the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, down $0.1 million from $1.8 million in the prior quarter. As of March 31, 2021, SLF JV I had $30.6 million of undrawn capacity (subject to borrowing base and other limitations) on its $225 million senior revolving credit facility, and its debt to equity ratio was 1.3x.
The Company’s investments in Glick JV totaled $54.6 million at fair value as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, Glick JV had $137.3 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 36 portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2021, one investment held by Glick JV was on non-accrual status, which represented 1.1% of the Glick JV portfolio at cost and 0.9% at fair value. Glick JV generated income of $0.1 million for the Company from its acquisition on March 19, 2021 to March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, Glick JV had $16.6 million of undrawn capacity (subject to borrowing base and other limitations) on its $90 million senior revolving credit facility, and its debt to equity ratio was 1.2x.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had total principal value of debt outstanding of $1,114.8 million, including $814.8 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facilities and $300.0 million of the 3.500% Notes due 2025. The funding mix was composed of 73% secured and 27% unsecured borrowings as of March 31, 2021. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities as of March 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $39.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $325.2 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). As of March 31, 2021, unfunded investment commitments were $257.1 million, or $241.8 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Company’s joint ventures. Of the $241.8 million, approximately $191.7 million could be drawn immediately as the remaining amount is subject to certain milestones that must be met by portfolio companies. The Company has analyzed cash and cash equivalents, availability under its credit facilities, the ability to rotate out of certain assets and amounts of unfunded commitments that could be drawn and believe its liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities in the current economic climate.
As of March 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding was 2.6%, down from 2.7% as of December 31, 2020.
The Company’s total debt to equity ratio was 0.87x and 0.73x as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company’s net debt to equity ratio was 0.84x and 0.70x as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Recent Developments

Termination of Deutsche Bank Facility
On May 4, 2021, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings under its Deutsche Bank facility using borrowings under its syndicated credit facility, following which the Deutsche Bank facility was terminated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing certain adjusted financial measures, each of which is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company and to review the Company’s performance without giving effect to non-cash income/gain resulting from the Merger and in the case of adjusted net investment income, without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The presentation of the below non-GAAP measures is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.
| • | “Adjusted Total Investment Income” and “Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share” – represents total investment income excluding any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the Merger. |
| • | “Adjusted Net Investment Income” and “Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share” – represents net investment income, excluding (i) any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the Merger and (ii) capital gains incentive fees (“Part II incentive fees”). |
| • | “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes” and “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share” – represents net realized and unrealized gains (losses) net of taxes excluding any net realized and unrealized gains (losses) resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the Merger. |
| • | “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” – represents the sum of (i) Adjusted Net Investment Income and (ii) Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes and includes the impact of Part II incentive fees2, if any. |
On March 19, 2021, the Company completed the Merger. The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues (“ASC 805”). The consideration paid to OCSI’s stockholders was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired other than “non-qualifying” assets, which established a new cost basis for the acquired OCSI investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was significantly lower than the historical cost basis of the acquired OCSI investments prior to the Merger. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Merger, the acquired OCSI investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized gain with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.
On March 19, 2021, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “A&R Advisory Agreement”) with Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”). The A&R Advisory Agreement amended and restated the existing investment advisory agreement, dated as of May 4, 2020, by and between the Company and the Adviser to (1) waive an aggregate of $6 million of base management fees otherwise payable to the Adviser in the two years following the closing of the Merger at a rate of $750,000 per quarter (with such amount appropriately prorated for any partial quarter) and (2) revise the calculation of the incentive fees to eliminate certain unintended consequences of the accounting treatment of the Merger on the incentive fees payable to the Adviser.
The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare its financial results with those of other business development companies that have not adjusted the cost basis of certain investments pursuant to ASC 805. The Company’s management believes “Adjusted Total Investment Income”, “Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share”, “Adjusted Net Investment Income” and
| 2 | Adjusted earnings (loss) includes accrued Part II incentive fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, $3.6 million of accrued Part II incentive fees were expensed. As of March 31, 2021, the total accrued Part II incentive fee liability was $13.1 million. Part II incentive fees are contractually calculated and paid at the end of the fiscal year in accordance with the A&R Advisory Agreement, which differs from Part II incentive fees accrued under GAAP. Hypothetically, if Part II incentive fees were calculated as of March 31, 2021 under the A&R Advisory Agreement, the amount payable would have been $3.1 million. |

“Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share” are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to the accretion income resulting from the new cost basis of the OCSI investments acquired in the Merger because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to the Adviser under the A&R Advisory Agreement, and specifically as its relates to “Adjusted Net Investment Income” and “Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share”, without giving effect to Part II incentive fees. In addition, the Company’s management believes that “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes”, “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share”, “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” are useful to investors as they exclude the non-cash income/gain resulting from the Merger and are used by management to evaluate the economic earnings of its investment portfolio. Moreover, these metrics align the Company’s key financial measures with the calculation of incentive fees payable to the Adviser under with the A&R Advisory Agreement (i.e., excluding amounts resulting solely from the lower cost basis of the acquired OCSI investments established by ASC 805 that would have been to the benefit of the Adviser absent such exclusion).

Forward Looking Statements & Legal Disclosures Some of the statements in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements because they relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation may include statements as to: our future operating results and distribution projections; the ability of Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (“Oaktree”) to reposition our portfolio and to implement Oaktree’s future plans with respect to our business; the ability of Oaktree and its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals; our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies; the impact of the investments that we expect to make; the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives; our expected financings and investments and additional leverage we may seek to incur in the future; the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies; and the cost or potential outcome of any litigation to which we may be a party. In addition, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “seek,” “plan,” “should,” “estimate,” “project” and “intend” indicate forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the factors set forth in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: changes or potential disruptions in our operations, the economy, financial markets or political environment; risks associated with possible disruption in our operations or the economy generally due to terrorism, natural disasters or the COVID-19 pandemic; future changes in laws or regulations (including the interpretation of these laws and regulations by regulatory authorities) and conditions in our operating areas, particularly with respect to business development companies or regulated investment companies; general considerations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger of Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation (“OCSI”) with and into us (the “Merger”); and other considerations that may be disclosed from time to time in our publicly disseminated documents and filings.

Calculation of Assets Under Management References to total assets under management or AUM represent assets managed by Oaktree and a proportionate amount of the AUM reported by DoubleLine Capital LP ( DoubleLine Capital ), in which Oaktree owns a 20% minority interest. Oaktree's methodology for calculating AUM includes (i) the net asset value (“NAV”) of assets managed directly by Oaktree, (ii) the leverage on which management fees are charged, (iii) undrawn capital that Oaktree is entitled to call from investors in Oaktree funds pursuant to their capital commitments, (iv) for collateralized loan obligation vehicles ( CLOs ), the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash, (v) for publicly-traded business development companies, gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), net of cash, and (vi) Oaktree's pro rata portion (20%) of the AUM reported by DoubleLine Capital. This calculation of AUM is not based on the definitions of AUM that may be set forth in agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts managed and is not calculated pursuant to regulatory definitions. 1Forward Looking Statements & Legal Disclosures Some of the statements in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements because they relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition.

Non-GAAP Disclosures On March 19, 2021, the Company completed the Merger. The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues ( ASC 805 ). The consideration paid to OCSI’s stockholders was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired other than non-qualifying assets, which established a new cost basis for the acquired OCSI investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was significantly lower than the historical cost basis of the acquired OCSI investments prior to the Merger. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Merger, the acquired OCSI investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized gain with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. On March 19, 2021, in connection with the closing of the Merger, OCSL entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “A&R Advisory Agreement”) with Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”). The A&R Advisory Agreement amended and restated the existing investment advisory agreement, dated as of May 4, 2020, by and between the Company and the Adviser to (1) waive an aggregate of $6 million of base management fees otherwise payable to the Adviser in the two years following the closing of the Merger at a rate of $750,000 per quarter (with such amount appropriately prorated for any partial quarter) and (2) revise the calculation of the incentive fees to eliminate certain unintended consequences of the accounting treatment of the Merger on the incentive fees payable to the Adviser. The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare its financial results with those of other business development companies that have not adjusted the cost basis of certain investments pursuant to ASC 805. The Company’s management believes Adjusted Total Investment Income , Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share , Adjusted Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to the accretion income resulting from the new cost basis of the OCSI investments acquired in the Merger because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to the Adviser under the A&R Advisory Agreement, and specifically as its relates to Adjusted Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share , without giving effect to Part II incentive fees. In addition, the Company’s management believes that “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes”, “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share”, “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” are useful to investors as they exclude the non-cash income/gain resulting from the Merger and used by management to evaluate the economic earnings of its investment portfolio. Moreover, these metrics align the Company's key financial measures with the calculation of incentive fees payable to the Adviser under with the A&R Advisory Agreement (i.e., excluding amounts resulting solely from the lower cost basis of the acquired OCSI investments established by ASC 805 that would have been to the benefit of the Adviser absent such exclusion). 20Non-GAAP Disclosures On March 19, 2021, the Company completed the Merger.
