Oaktree Specialty Lending (OCSL) increases dividend 1.9%

A quarterly cash distribution was declared of $0.55 per share, up 2% from $0.54 per share in the prior quarter and the eleventh consecutive quarterly distribution increase. The distribution is payable in cash on March 31, 2023 to stockholders of record on March 15, 2023.

Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, said, “We produced excellent results to start the fiscal year, with adjusted net investment income of $0.61 per share, up 10% from the prior quarter, supported by robust origination activity, which drove our annualized return on equity to just under 12%. Drawing upon the breadth of the Oaktree platform, we identified attractive investments across a mix of both sponsor and non-sponsor deals at a weighted average yield of 13%. Still, we remain highly selective, prudently focusing on deals that are appropriately risk-adjusted. Our continued solid credit quality reflects this, and we believe our portfolio is defensively positioned for the current market environment.”
