increase of 24% year-over-year and above the $0.34 quarterly
distribution. -
Closed investments in the first quarter of 2019
totaled approximately $63.6 million. -
Net asset value (“NAV”) per share decreased to $13.04 at March 31,
2019 from $13.10 at December 31, 2018 due to unrealized depreciation
of the portfolio. No new non-accruals. -
At March 31, 2019, 88% of our loan portfolio consisted of senior
secured loans, based on fair value. -
As of March 31, 2019, our total debt was 87% fixed rate and 87% of our

On April 30, 2019, OFS Capital’s Board of Directors declared a

2012 IPO, we have declared 26 consecutive $0.34 per share quarterly
distributions totaling over $9 per share in regular and special

The weighted average yield of investments is not the same as a return on investment for our stockholders but, rather, relates to a portion of our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our fees and expenses. |

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
During the first quarter of 2019, OFS Capital closed $31.5 million of
senior secured debt investments in three new portfolio companies, as
well as $4.1 million of equity investments in two of these portfolio
companies. In addition, we made $12.7 million of new senior secured debt
investments in existing portfolio companies and $15.3 million of new
investments in structured finance notes.
The total fair value of OFS Capital’s investment portfolio was $437.7
million at March 31, 2019, which was equal to approximately 96% of
amortized cost. As of March 31, 2019, the fair value of OFS Capital’s
debt investment portfolio totaled $385.7 million in 46 portfolio
companies, of which 88% and 12% were senior secured loans and
subordinated loans, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, we also held
approximately $36.2 million in equity investments, at fair value, in 15
portfolio companies in which we also held debt investments, 5 portfolio
companies in which we solely held an equity investment and 2 investments
in structured finance notes with a fair value of $15.8 million. We had
unfunded commitments of $9.4 million to five portfolio companies at
March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, floating rate loans as a
percentage of fair value comprised 88% of OFS Capital’s debt investment
portfolio, with the remaining 12% in fixed rate loans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income
Investment Income
Interest income increased by $2.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, due
to a $3.6 million increase caused by an approximately $106.0 million
increase in the average outstanding performing loan balance offset, in
part, by a ($1.0) million decrease resulting from a 96 basis point
decrease in the recurring earned yield on our portfolio. Fee income
increased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to an
increase in syndication fees resulting from approximately $60.5 million
in loan originations during the period in which OFS Capital Management,
LLC sourced, structured, and arranged the lending group, and for which
we were additionally compensated.
Expenses
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased
$1.8 million over the corresponding period in the prior year due to the
issuance of $98.5 million in unsecured notes issued during 2018.
Management fee
Management fee expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019
increased $0.5 million over the corresponding period in the prior year
due to an increase in our average total assets, resulting from the
issuance of $98.5 million of unsecured notes during 2018.
Incentive fee
Incentive fee expense increased by $0.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018
primarily due to additional net investment income resulting from the
increase in the size of the portfolio.
Administration fee
Administration fee expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019
decreased $0.1 million over the corresponding period in the prior year
primarily due to an decrease in our allocable portion of OFS Services’s
overhead.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments
We recognized net losses of $0.1 million on senior secured debt during
the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily as a result of the
unrealized depreciation of $1.9 million on MAI Holdings, Inc., offset by
unrealized appreciation of $2.2 million on broadly syndicated loans due
to net positive impact of mark-to-market adjustments in the first
quarter. Additional unrealized losses of $0.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2019 were primarily a result from net negative
impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors. We also
recognized a realized gain of $0.1 million as a result of the partial
sale of Cenexel Clinical Research Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a JBR Clinical
Research Holdings, Inc.).
We recognized net gains of $0.2 million on subordinated debt during the
three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to unrealized
appreciation of $0.3 million recognized on our subordinated debt
investment in Online Tech Stores, LLC. We recognized net losses of $0.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily as a result
from net negative impact of portfolio company-specific performance
factors.
We recognized net losses of $1.7 million on preferred equity investments
for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily as a result of
unrealized depreciation of $0.8 million recognized on our investment in
TRS Services, LLC Class A units. Additional unrealized losses of $0.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were primarily due to
the net negative impact of portfolio company-specific performance
factors.
We recognized net gains of $0.2 million on common equity and warrant
investments for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily as a
result of unrealized appreciation of $2.5 million stemming from the
positive impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors,
offset by unrealized depreciation of $2.3 million in Contract Datascan
Holdings, Inc. as a result of negative portfolio company-specific
performance factors.
We recognized net gains of $0.4 million on structured finance notes for
the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily as a result of
unrealized appreciation due to net positive impact of mark-to-market
adjustments in the first quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2019, we had $15.2 million in cash, which includes cash
of $12.9 million held by our wholly owned small business investment
company OFS SBIC I, LP (“SBIC I LP”), and $149.9 million in outstanding
SBA-guaranteed debentures. Our use of cash held by SBIC I LP is
restricted by SBA regulation, including limitations on the amount of
cash SBIC I LP can distribute to OFS Capital as parent company. As of
March 31, 2019, we had $14.2 million available for additional borrowings
under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Pacific Western
Bank, as lender (“PWB Credit Facility”) and had drawn all of our
available SBA-guaranteed debentures.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Amendment to the PWB Credit Facility

was amended to, among other things: (i) increase the maximum amount
available under our PWB Credit Facility from $50.0 million to $100.0
million; (ii) change the interest rate from a variable rate of Prime
Rate plus a 0.75% margin to a variable rate of Prime Rate plus a 0.25%
