Chicago, IL-March 2, 2018-OFS Capital Corporation (Nasdaq: OFS) (“OFS Capital”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2017.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Fourth quarter net investment income of $3.8 million, or $0.29 per share.
Closed investments totaled $28.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
As of March 2, 2018, closed approximately $44.4 million of additional new investments during the first quarter of 2018.
79% and 76% of the fair value of our loan portfolio was senior and floating rate, respectively, and the weighted average yield of our performing loan portfolio was 12.11% as of December 31, 2017(1).
89% of our debt is fixed rate with a weighted average cost of 3.43% as of December 31, 2017, with maturities in 2022 and beyond.
On February 27, 2018, OFS Capital's Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.34 per share for the first quarter of 2018. The distribution, along with a previously announced $0.37 per share special distribution, are payable on March 29, 2018 to stockholders of record as of March 22, 2018.
"We are focused on increasing our net investment income by executing on our strong pipeline while maintaining the quality of our portfolio," said Bilal Rashid, OFS Capital's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "So far in the first quarter, we have deployed $44.4 million of the $73.0 million of cash we had on hand at year-end. We believe that we are well positioned to grow our earnings. Our commitment to capital preservation, and strong long-term performance is enhanced by the alignment of interests of our stockholders and our external manager, which continues to own approximately 22% of the outstanding OFS Capital common stock."

The weighted average yield on total investments is computed as (a) the annual stated accruing interest on our debt investments at the balance sheet date, plus the annualized accretion of loan origination fees, original issue discount, market discount or premium, and loan amendment fees, plus the effective cash yield on our performing preferred equity investments divided by (b) amortized cost of our total investment portfolio, including assets on non-accrual basis as of the balance sheet date. 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 fourth quarter of 2017, we closed four senior secured debt investments in four new portfolio companies totaling $18.8 million, one of which also included a new common equity investment of $0.5 million. In addition, we made $9.0 million of senior secured debt investments in existing portfolio companies, including $2.6 million in delayed draw and revolver fundings.
The total fair value of our investment portfolio was $277.5 million at December 31, 2017, which was equal to approximately 96% of amortized cost. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of OFS Capital's debt investment portfolio totaled $246.3 million in 35 portfolio companies, of which 79% and 21% were senior secured loans and subordinated loans, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, we also held approximately $31.2 million in equity investments, at fair value, in 17 portfolio companies in which we also held debt investments and two portfolio companies in which we solely held an equity investment. We had unfunded commitments of $9.9 million to three portfolio companies at December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, floating rate loans comprised 76% of OFS Capital’s debt investment portfolio, with the remaining 24% in fixed rate loans, as a percentage of fair value.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income
Interest Income
Interest income increased approximately $2.0 million primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in recurring interest income caused by a 12% increase in the average outstanding loan balance during 2017, offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in recurring interest income resulting from a 63 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield in our portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2017. Acceleration of Net Loan Fees (defined as loan origination fees, original issue discount, market discount or premium, and loan amendment fees) of $0.6 million and $0.6 million were included in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, from the repayment of loans prior to their scheduled due dates.
Fee Income
Fee income increased $0.3 million primarily due to an increase in prepayment fees and capital structuring fees. We recorded prepayment fees of $1.0 million resulting from $60.2 million of unscheduled principal payments during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $0.9 million from $25.0 million of unscheduled principal payments during 2016. We recognized capital structuring fees of $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, upon the closing of $55.7 million and $37.3 million of debt and equity investments, respectively.
Expenses
Interest expense
Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility ("PWB Credit Facility"). The average dollar amount of borrowings outstanding under the PWB Credit Facility during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $8.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Management Fees
Management fee expense increased by $0.5 million, due to an increase in our average total assets, primarily due to an increase in net investment activity, including deployment of funds from our follow-on public offering of 3,625,000 shares of our common stock in April 2017 (the "Offering").
Incentive Fees
Incentive fee expense decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in Part One incentive fees (based on net investment income), due to a share issuance adjustment related to the Offering, which raised the hurdle rate to a level that was not exceeded in the second quarter because the Offering proceeds were not fully deployed, offset by an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income due to an increase in net investment activity, including additional deployment of funds from the Offering, and an increase in the accrued Capital Gains Fee (based on cumulative net unrealized and realized capital gains). During the year ended December 31, 2017, we did not incur a Capital Gains Fee, compared to a Capital Gains Fee of



$(0.1) million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2016, which represents the reversal of the accrued Capital Gains Fee at December 31, 2015.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments
We recognized net losses of $4.4 million on senior secured debt during the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of a realized loss of $5.0 million on our senior secured debt investment in My Alarm, LLC ("My Alarm") recognized upon restructuring in the third quarter of 2017, offset by the positive net impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors on other investments. We held the My Alarm investment from the fourth quarter of 2015 and recognized unrealized appreciation of $0.2 million and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
We recognized net losses of $8.7 million on subordinated debt during the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the net negative impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors, including unrealized depreciation of $5.4 million recognized on our debt investment in Community Intervention Services, Inc., which was placed on non-accrual status during 2016, unrealized depreciation of $2.1 million recognized on our debt investment in Southern Technical Institute, LLC, which was placed on non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2017, and $1.6 million of unrealized depreciation on our debt investment in Master Cutlery, LLC.
We recognized net gains of $5.4 million on preferred equity investments for the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of $7.7 million of net realized gains recognized upon sale of three equity investments (Strategic Pharma Solutions, Inc., smarTours, LLC, and Malabar International), offset by the negative impact from changes to EBITDA multiples used in our valuations and negative impacts of portfolio company-specific performance factors, including a $2.1 million unrealized loss recognized on our equity investment in Southern Technical Institute, LLC. Included in net gains of $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, were realized gains of $11.0 million we recognized upon sale of the three aforementioned equity investments. We recognized cumulative unrealized appreciation of approximately $3.3 million on these investments through December 31, 2016, which resulted in an aggregate net gain of $7.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2017. In addition, previously recognized cumulative unrealized depreciation of $0.3 million at June 30, 2017, on our preferred equity investments in My Alarm, was realized upon restructuring.
We recognized net losses of $0.2 million on common equity and warrant investments for the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the negative impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors, offset by a $0.4 million net gain realized upon sale of a common equity investment (Intelli-Mark Technologies, Inc.), which includes a realized gain of $0.9 million, for which we had recognized cumulative unrealized appreciation of $0.5 million through December 31, 2016.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2017, we had $73.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $72.1 million held by our wholly owned small business investment company, and $149.9 million in outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures. As of December 31, 2017, we had $17.4 million available for additional borrowings on our PWB Credit Facility and had drawn all of our available SBA-guaranteed debentures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income (“Adjusted NII”)
On a supplemental basis, we disclose Adjusted NII (including on a per share basis), which is a financial measure calculated and presented on a non-GAAP basis. Adjusted NII represents net investment income excluding the net capital gains incentive fee (fee adjustments) in periods in which they occur. Our management agreement with OFS Capital Management, LLC provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized capital losses for such year. Management believes that Adjusted NII is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net capital gains incentive fee, as net investment income does not include gains associated with the capital gains incentive fee. In addition, management believes that providing Adjusted NII may facilitate a more complete analysis and greater transparency into OFS Capital’s ongoing operations, particularly in comparing underlying results from period to period, and afford investors a view of results that may be more easily compared to those of other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation from net investment income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted NII for the periods presented:
