Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation Announces Third Fiscal Quarter 2024 Financial Results
and Declares Quarterly Distribution of $0.55 Per Share
LOS ANGELES, CA, August 1, 2024 - 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 June 30, 2024.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
| Total investment income was $95.0 million ($1.16 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2024, as compared with $94.0 million ($1.18 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher interest income as a result of the growth in the investment portfolio and higher original issue discount (OID) accretion driven by purchase premium acceleration in the prior quarter from the repayment of certain investments acquired in the mergers with Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation (OCSI) and Oaktree Strategic Income II, Inc. (OSI2). This was partially offset by the impact of certain investments that were placed on non-accrual status and a decrease in amendment fees. Adjusted total investment income was $95.6 million ($1.17 per share) for the third fiscal quarter, as compared with $97.3 million ($1.22 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower interest income due to the impact of certain investments that were placed on non-accrual status and lower OID acceleration from investment repayments as well as a decrease in amendment fees. This was partially offset by higher coupon interest income as a result of the growth in the investment portfolio. |
| GAAP net investment income was $44.6 million ($0.54 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2024, as compared with $41.4 million ($0.52 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The increase for the quarter was primarily driven by lower part I incentive fees (net of fees waived) and higher total investment income, partially offset by higher interest expense. |
| Adjusted net investment income was $45.2 million ($0.55 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2024, as compared with $44.7 million ($0.56 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2024. The increase for the quarter was primarily driven by lower part I incentive fees (net of fees waived), partially offset by lower adjusted total investment income and higher interest expense. The per share decrease for the quarter was driven by an increase in weighted average shares outstanding. |
| Net asset value (NAV) per share was $18.19 as of June 30, 2024, down as compared with $18.72 as of March 31, 2024. The decline from March 31, 2024 primarily reflected unrealized losses on certain debt and equity investments. |
| Waived part I incentive fees of $3.2 million in addition to the $1.5 million of management fees waived for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. |
| Originated $338.7 million of new investment commitments and received $185.5 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The weighted average yield on new debt investments was 11.1%. |
| Total debt outstanding was $1,740.0 million as of June 30, 2024. The total debt to equity ratio was 1.16x, and the net debt to equity ratio was 1.10x, after adjusting for cash and cash equivalents. |
| Liquidity as of June 30, 2024 was composed of $96.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $827.5 million of undrawn capacity under the Companys credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were $291.4 million, or $264.3 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Companys joint ventures. Of the $264.3 million, approximately $219.4 million can be drawn immediately with the remaining amount subject to certain milestones that must be met by portfolio companies or other restrictions. |
| A quarterly cash distribution was declared of $0.55 per share. The distribution is payable in cash on September 30, 2024 to stockholders of record on September 16, 2024. |
Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said Our fiscal third quarter results were supported by continued origination activity, which led to portfolio growth and increased coupon interest income. Our originations in the third quarter were $339 million of new investment commitments, while also realizing repayments and sales of $186 million.
1
We remain focused on shifting our investment composition to first lien loans and on improving our portfolio quality and performance in this changing market environment. During the quarter, however, we experienced challenges at certain portfolio investments, resulting in a decline in NAV and an increase in non-accruals, Panossian added. We continue to leverage our expertise in navigating turnarounds with the goal of achieving favorable outcomes on these investments and generating value for our shareholders.
In addition to the permanent management fee reduction that went into effect on July 1, 2024, we have announced an incentive fee waiver as part of our third quarter results, which demonstrates our commitment to shareholders. We remain confident in our strategy and the ability of our portfolio to deliver sustainable and attractive returns.
Distribution Declaration
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.55 per share. The distribution is payable in cash on September 30, 2024 to stockholders of record on September 16, 2024.
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 Companys stockholders.

1 See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a description of the non-GAAP measures and the reconciliations from the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the Companys non-GAAP measures, including on a per share basis. The Companys 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 Companys performance without giving effect to non-cash income/gain/loss resulting from the merger of OCSI with and into the Company in March 2021 (the OCSI Merger) and the merger of OSI2 with and into the Company in January 2023 (the OSI2 Merger) and, in the case of adjusted net investment income, without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The presentation of 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 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $95.6 million and included $86.6 million of interest income from portfolio investments, $6.1 million of payment-in-kind (PIK) interest income, $1.5 million of fee income and $1.4 million of dividend income. The $1.8 million decline in adjusted total investment income was attributable to a $0.7 million decrease in interest income, which was attributable to certain investments that were placed on non-accrual status and lower OID acceleration from investment repayments and was partially offset by higher coupon interest income as a result of the growth in the investment portfolio. Also contributing to the decline was a $1.1 million decrease in fee income which was primarily due to lower amendment fees.
Net expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 totaled $50.4 million, down $2.3 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The decrease for the quarter was primarily driven by $3.3 million lower part I incentive fees (net of fees waived) as a result of the Part I incentive fees waived by Oaktree during the quarter, partially offset by $0.6 million of higher interest expense from an increase in borrowings and $0.2 million of higher general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted net investment income was $45.2 million ($0.55 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $44.7 million ($0.56 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $0.5 million for the quarter reflected $2.3 million of lower net expenses, partially offset by $1.8 million of lower adjusted total investment income. The per share decrease for the quarter was driven by an increase in weighted average shares outstanding.
Adjusted net realized and unrealized losses, net of taxes, was $44.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, primarily reflecting realized and unrealized losses on certain debt and equity investments.

4
joint venture investments in SLF JV I and OCSI Glick JV LLC (Glick JV). 27 of the equity investments were in companies in which the Company also had a debt investment.
As of June 30, 2024, 94.9% of the Companys portfolio at fair value consisted of debt investments, including 82.5% of first lien loans, 3.5% of second lien loans and 9.0% of unsecured debt investments, including the debt investments in SLF JV I and Glick JV. This compared to 80.8% of first lien loans, 5.4% of second lien loans and 7.9% of unsecured debt investments, including the debt investments in SLF JV I and Glick JV, as of March 31, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, there were eight investments on non-accrual status, which represented 5.7% and 3.7% of the debt portfolio at cost and fair value, respectively. This is up from five investments on non-accrual status in the prior quarter, which represented 4.3% and 2.4% of the debt portfolio at cost and fair value, respectively.
SLF JV I
The Companys investments in SLF JV I totaled $138.5 million at fair value as of June 30, 2024, down 2.7% from $142.3 million as of March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by SLF JV Is use of leverage and unrealized depreciation in the underlying investment portfolio.
As of June 30, 2024, SLF JV I had $390.8 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 49 portfolio companies. This compared to $398.7 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 54 portfolio companies, as of March 31, 2024.

In addition, SLF JV I generated dividend income of $1.4 million for the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, consistent with the prior quarter. As of June 30, 2024, SLF JV I had $72.0 million of undrawn capacity (subject to borrowing base and other limitations) on its $270 million senior revolving credit facility, and its debt to equity ratio was 1.3x.
Glick JV
The Companys investments in Glick JV totaled $49.9 million at fair value as of June 30, 2024, down 2.8% from $51.3 million as of March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by SLF JV Is use of leverage and unrealized depreciation in the underlying investment portfolio.
As of June 30, 2024, Glick JV had $150.2 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 45 portfolio companies. This compared to $154.7 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 49 portfolio companies, as of March 31, 2024. Glick JV generated cash interest income of $1.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, consistent with the prior quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had total principal value of debt outstanding of $1,740.0 million, including $790.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facilities, $300.0 million of the 3.500% Notes due 2025, $350.0 million of the 2.700% Notes due 2027 and $300.0 million of the 7.100% Notes due 2029. The funding mix was composed of 45% secured and 55% unsecured borrowings as of June 30, 2024. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities as of June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $96.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $827.5 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). As of June 30, 2024, unfunded investment commitments were $291.4 million, or $264.3 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Companys joint ventures. Of the $264.3 million, approximately $219.4 million could be drawn immediately with the remaining amount subject to certain milestones that must be met by portfolio companies or other restrictions. 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 believes its liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to invest in market opportunities as they arise.
As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding, including the effect of the interest rate swap agreements, was 7.0%, unchanged from March 31, 2024.
The Companys total debt to equity ratio was 1.16x and 1.10x as of each of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The Companys net debt to equity ratio was 1.10x and 1.02x as of each of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

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 Companys 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 Companys performance without giving effect to non-cash income/gain/loss resulting from the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 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 OCSI Merger and the OSI2 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 OCSI Merger and the OSI2 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 OCSI Merger and the OSI2 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 fees1, if any. |
The OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger (the Mergers) were accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business CombinationsRelated Issues (ASC 805). The consideration paid to each of the stockholders of OCSI and OSI2 were 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 investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was different than the historical cost basis of the acquired investments prior to the OCSI Merger or the OSI2 Merger, as applicable. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, the acquired investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete/amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation/depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete/amortize 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/loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.
The Companys 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 Companys 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 income resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired in the Mergers because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the Adviser) under its second amended and restated advisory agreement (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 Companys 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 and gain/loss resulting from the Mergers and are used by management to evaluate the economic earnings of its investment portfolio. Moreover,
1 Adjusted earnings (loss) includes accrued Part II incentive fees. As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2024, there was no accrued Part II incentive fee liability. 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. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, no amounts were payable under the A&R Advisory Agreement.
6
these metrics more closely align the Companys 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 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.

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, 2023 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: changes in the economy, financial markets and political environment, including the impacts of inflation and elevated interest rates; risks associated with possible disruption in our operations or the economy generally due to terrorism, war or other geopolitical conflict, natural disasters, pandemics or cybersecurity incidents; future changes in laws or regulations (including the interpretation of these laws and regulations by regulatory authorities); conditions in our operating areas, particularly with respect to business development companies or regulated investment companies; and other considerations 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. Unless otherwise indicated, data provided herein are dated as of June 30, 2024. Earnings Presentation Third Quarter 2024 NASDAQ: OCSL

Non-GAAP Disclosures The OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger (the “Mergers”) were accounted for as asset acquisitions 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 each of the stockholders of OCSI and OSI2 were 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 investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was different than the historical cost basis of the acquired investments prior to the OCSI Merger or OSI2 Merger, as applicable. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, the acquired investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation / depreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete / amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation / depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete / amortize 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 / loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation / depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired. 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 investments acquired in the Mergers because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to Oaktree under its second amended and restated investment advisory agreement (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 Mergers 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 Oaktree under with the A&R Advisory Agreement (i.e., excluding amounts resulting solely from the lower cost basis of the acquired investments established by ASC 805 that would have been to the benefit of Oaktree absent such exclusion). 18 I n v e s t o r P r e s e n a t
