Blue Owl Capital Corporation Announces March 31, 2026 Financial Results
NEW YORK, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Capital Corporation (NYSE: OBDC) ("OBDC" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
FIRST QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
- First quarter GAAP net investment income ("NII") per share of $0.32
- First quarter adjusted NII per share(1) of $0.31, as compared with the prior quarter of $0.36
- Net asset value per share of $14.41, as compared with $14.81 as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting the impact of credit spread widening on the portfolio
- New investment commitments for the first quarter were $676 million and sales and repayments were $1.5 billion, as compared with $684 million of new investment commitments and $1.4 billion of sales and repayments for the three months ended December 31, 2025
- Investments on non-accrual represented 2.0% and 1.0% of the portfolio at cost and fair value, respectively, as compared with 2.3% and 1.1% as of December 31, 2025
- In January, Moody's upgraded OBDC to Baa2 given their view on OBDC's credit profile and liability management
"OBDC's credit performance remains strong, with no new non‑accruals and steady borrower performance," said Craig W. Packer, Chief Executive Officer. "While the quarter reflected a more challenging earnings environment driven by lower base rates and tighter spreads, our portfolio is delivering solid performance, and our balance sheet is strong. With healthy repayments, lower leverage and approximately $4 billion of available liquidity, we have the flexibility to capitalize on an increasingly attractive deployment environment at wider spreads."
Stock Repurchases
On February 17, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a $300 million stock repurchase program, for which purchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time in open market transactions, replacing the prior $200 million authorization. As of March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately $35 million of OBDC common stock, accretive to net asset value per share in the first quarter.
Dividend Declaration
The Board declared a second quarter 2026 base dividend of $0.31 per share for stockholders of record as of June 30, 2026, payable on or before July 15, 2026, reflecting the Board's decision to adjust the Company's base dividend given the current operating environment and to align with the portfolio's go-forward earnings power following an extended period of declining base rates and spread compression. The supplemental dividend framework remains in place.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026
Investment Income
Investment income decreased to $397 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $448 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by the impact of lower base rates on floating-rate assets and a reduction in the Company's portfolio size from net repayments of approximately $1 billion. Income associated with unscheduled paydowns decreased to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $16.0 million for the same period in prior quarter due to a lower level of unscheduled repayment activity. The Company expects that investment income will vary based on a variety of factors including the pace of originations and repayments.
Expenses
Total expenses decreased to $235 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $253 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by decreases in interest expense and performance based incentive fees. Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in daily average borrowings from $9.8 billion to $9.3 billion, as well as a decrease in the average interest rate from 5.6% to 5.2% quarter-over-quarter. 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, 2026, the Company had $455 million in cash and restricted cash, $8.5 billion in total principal value of debt outstanding, including $3.6 billion of undrawn capacity(1) on the Company's credit facilities and $4.5 billion of unsecured notes. The funding mix was composed of 47.0% secured and 53.0% unsecured borrowings as of March 31, 2026 on an outstanding basis. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities as of March 31, 2026. 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 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 OBDE Merger.
- "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 OBDE 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 OBDE 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 OBDE 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 OBDE Merger. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the OBDE 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 OBDE 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 OBDE Merger 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).
