Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Earnings Releases And Operating Results.

GREENWICH, Conn., July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Oxford Square Capital Corp. (NasdaqGS: OXSQ) (NasdaqGS: OXSQL) (NasdaqGS: OXSQZ) (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) announced today its financial results and related information for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
As previously announced by the Company, our Board of Directors had declared monthly common stock distributions of $0.035 through September 30, 2020. In light of current economic and market conditions, specifically as a result of the global crisis caused by the spread of the COVID-19 virus, no assurance can be provided as to the level of any common stock distributions that may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors for the fourth quarter of 2020 (which are currently expected to be declared in September).During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the U.S. loan market strengthened versus the quarter ended March 31, 2020. U.S. loan prices, as defined by the S&P / LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, increased from 82.85% of par value as of March 31, 2020 to a quarterly high of 91.24% of par value on June 10, 2020, before declining to 89.88% of par value on June 30, 2020. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic represents an extraordinary circumstance that materially impacts the fair value of the Company’s investments. As a result, the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments may be negatively impacted after June 30, 2020 by circumstances and events that are not yet known.As of June 30, 2020, net asset value (“NAV”) per share was $3.54, compared with the NAV per share of $3.32 at the prior quarter end. 

–  For the quarter ended June 30, 2020 we recorded GAAP net investment income of approximately $4.3 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to $6.4 million, or $0.13 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

–  We recorded net realized losses on investments of approximately $2.8 million and net unrealized appreciation of approximately $19.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to net realized losses on investments of approximately $0.3 million and net unrealized depreciation of approximately $85.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase in net unrealized appreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to unrealized appreciation in our syndicated loan investments, partially offset by the unrealized depreciation in our collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) equity investments.

–  In total, we had a net increase in net assets from operations of approximately $20.6 million, or $0.41 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared with a net decrease in net assets from operations of $79.4 million, or $1.62 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Total investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 amounted to approximately $8.3 million, which represents a decrease of approximately $2.6 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2020. For the quarter ended June 30, 2020 the components of investment income were as follows:

–  $4.9 million from our debt investments,

–  $3.2 million from our CLO equity investments, and

–  $0.2 million from all other sources.

Our total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $3.9 million, which represents a decrease of approximately $0.5 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2020.During the second quarter of 2020, we made investments of approximately $21.3 million and received, or were entitled to receive, proceeds of approximately $9.5 million from sales of investments, and $16.7 million from repayments and amortization payments on our debt investments.As of June 30, 2020, the following metrics applied (note that none of these values represents a total return to shareholders):

–  The weighted average yield of our debt investments was 8.1% at current cost, compared with 8.8% as of March 31, 2020.
–  The weighted average effective yield of our CLO equity investments at current cost was 7.1%, compared with 9.7% as of March 31, 2020.
–  The weighted average cash distribution yield of our cash income producing CLO equity investments at current cost was 11.6%, compared with 14.4% as of March 31, 2020.

Our weighted average credit rating was 2.3 based on total fair value and 2.5 based on total principal value as of June 30, 2020, compared with 2.2 based on total fair value and 2.5 based on total principal value as of March 31, 2020.As of June 30, 2020, we had two debt investments on non-accrual status, with a combined fair value of $5.4 million. Also, as of June 30, 2020, our preferred equity investments in one of our portfolio companies were on non-accrual status, with a combined fair value of $0.6 million.We will host a conference call to discuss our second quarter results today, Tuesday, July 28, 2020 at 9:00 AM ET.
