Blue Owl Capital Corporation Announces March 31, 2025 Financial Results
NEW YORK, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Capital Corporation (NYSE: OBDC) ("OBDC" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
FIRST QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
- First quarter GAAP net investment income ("NII") per share of $0.41
- First quarter adjusted NII per share of $0.39, as compared with $0.47 as of December 31, 2024
- Based on OBDC's supplemental dividend framework, the Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a first quarter supplemental dividend of $0.01 per share
- Dividends declared in the first quarter totaled $0.38 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 10.0% based on first quarter net asset value ("NAV") per share
- NAV per share of $15.14, as compared with $15.26 as of December 31, 2024, driven primarily by changes in credit spreads and write-downs on a small number of names, partially offset by over-earning of the base dividend
- New investment commitments for the first quarter totaled $1.2 billion(1) and $1.1 billion(1) of sales and repayments, as compared with $1.7 billion of new investment commitments and $1.6 billion of sales and repayments for the three months ended December 31, 2024
- Investments on non-accrual represented 0.8% of the portfolio at fair value, as compared with 0.4% as of December 31, 2024
"OBDC's first quarter results reflect a solid start to the year, delivering a 10.2% annualized return on equity(2), supported by the continued resilience and quality of our portfolio," commented Craig W. Packer, Chief Executive Officer. "We believe OBDC is in a strong position to face the current market environment, given our portfolio's defensive orientation and enhanced scale from the recently closed merger with OBDE."
Merger Close
On January 13, 2025, OBDC closed the previously announced merger with Blue Owl Capital Corporation III ("OBDE" and the "Merger"), with OBDC as the surviving company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
Investment Income
Investment income increased to $464.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $394.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest income as a result of an increase in the par value of debt investments acquired from the Merger, which was partially offset by a decrease in the yield of the Company's debt investment portfolio. Dividend income increased period-over-period, primarily due to dividends earned on equity investments acquired from OBDE. Other income remained relatively consistent period-over-period, including incremental fee income, which are fees that are generally available to the Company as a result of closing investments and normally paid at the time of closing. The Company expects that investment income will vary based on a variety of factors including the pace of originations and repayments.
Expenses
Total expenses increased to $259.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $209.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest expense, management fees and incentive fees resulting from the Merger. As a percentage of total assets, professional fees, directors' fees and other general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent period-over-period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $514.2 million in cash and restricted cash, $10.3 billion in total principal value of debt outstanding, including $2.5 billion of undrawn capacity(1) on the Company's credit facilities and $5.2 billion of unsecured notes. The funding mix was composed of 50% secured and 50% unsecured borrowings as of March 31, 2025 on an outstanding basis. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities as of March 31, 2025. 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 take advantage of market opportunities.

- "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share": represents net 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 Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)" and "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) Per Share": represents net realized and unrealized gains (losses) 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 Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations" and "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations Per Share": represents the sum of (i) Adjusted Net Investment Income and (ii) Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses).
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 the stockholders of OBDE 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 investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was different than the historical cost basis of the acquired investments prior to the Merger. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Merger, 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 income resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired in the Merger because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC (the "Adviser") under the fourth amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") between the Company and the Adviser, and specifically as its relates to "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share". In addition, the Company's management believes that "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)", "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) Per Share", "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations" and "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations 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, these metrics more closely align the Company's key financial measures with the calculation of incentive fees payable to the Adviser under the Investment 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).
