Positive Outlook
- Our $2.25 billion targeted Floating Rate perpetual preferred stock offering
- Greater utilization of our cost efficient revolving floating rate credit facility
- Elevated short-term SOFR rates which boost asset yields
- Optimization of portfolio company performance
- Increased primary and secondary originations of senior secured debt and selected equity investments targeting attractive risk-adjusted yields and total returns as we deploy dry powder from our underleveraged balance sheet
Challenges Ahead
- Market expectations for more reductions going forward, which may lower future shareholder distribution rates across the BDC and related credit industries
- The Fed has reversed 75 basis points of prior short term interest rate increases
- CLO equity and real estate investments have generated solid unlevered investment-level gross cash IRRs, but with more variability compared to our core business
- We are cautious about future exit-related income.
- We have already factored in the declining forward curve for short term interest rates for our common shareholder distribution declaration today.
