Declares a $0.34 Per Share Distribution

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- OFS Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:OFS) ("OFS Capital", "we", "us", or "our") today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Net investment income of $3.3 million, or $0.34 per share.
• Adjusted net investment income of $3.6 million, or $0.37 per share, which approximated 110% of our distribution for the first quarter, representing the eighth straight quarter our adjusted net investment income covered the distribution⁽¹⁾.
• Net asset value ("NAV") increased to $14.98 per share at March 31, 2017 from $14.82 per share at December 31, 2016 and there were no cash non-accruals.
• Two-thirds of our loan portfolio was floating rate and the weighted average yield of our loan portfolio was 12.03% as of March 31, 2017.
• 100% of our debt is fixed rate with a weighted average cost of 3.60% as of March 31, 2017; 95% of our debt matures in 2022 and beyond.
• Closed investments totaled $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2017; as of May 5, 2017, we closed approximately $29.0 million of additional new investments during the second quarter of 2017.
• On May 2, 2017, OFS Capital's Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.34 per share for the second quarter of 2017, payable on June 30, 2017 to stockholders of record as of June 16, 2017.

"We are pleased that our NAV increased from the end of 2016," said Bilal Rashid, OFS Capital's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "At the end of the first quarter, we raised approximately $53.7 million through a common stock offering to help fund our investment pipeline. We believe that the larger equity base also improves our risk profile and scale. We are optimistic about the future given the strength of our direct origination and underwriting platform. Our commitment to strong, long-term performance is enhanced by the alignment of interests of our stockholders and our external manager, which continues to own approximately 2.9 million shares, or 22% of the outstanding OFS Capital common stock."

(1) Supplemental information regarding adjusted net investment income:

On a supplemental basis, we disclose adjusted net investment income ("Adjusted NII") (including on a per share basis), which is a financial measure calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("non-GAAP"). 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 ("OFS Advisor") 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. Reconciliations of net investment income to Adjusted NII are set forth in Schedule I.

The weighted average yield of our debt 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 2017, OFS Capital closed $6.1 million of new senior secured debt investments in five existing portfolio companies, which included a delayed draw funding of $0.5 million.

The total fair value of OFS Capital's investment portfolio was $258.3 million at March 31, 2017, which was equal to approximately 102% of amortized cost. As of March 31, 2017, the fair value of OFS Capital's debt investment portfolio totaled $217.3 million in 36 portfolio companies, of which 76% and 24% were senior secured loans and subordinated loans, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, we also held approximately $41.0 million in equity investments, at fair value, in 17 portfolio companies in which we also held debt investments and two portfolio company in which we solely held an equity investment. We had unfunded commitments of $2.1 million to three portfolio companies at March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, floating rate loans comprised 67% of OFS Capital's debt investment portfolio, with the remaining 33% in fixed rate loans, as a percentage of fair value.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest Income:

Interest income increased by $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $0.6 million increase caused by a 10% increase in the average outstanding loan balance, offset by a $0.1 million decrease caused by a 1% decrease in our weighted average yield in our portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Acceleration of Net Loan Fees of $0.1 million and $0.1 million were included in interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Fee Income:

Fee income decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in prepayment fees. We recorded prepayment fees of $0.2 million resulting from $16.9 million of unscheduled principal payments during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to prepayment fees of $0.5 million resulting from $11.5 million of unscheduled principal payments we recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Expenses

Incentive fee expense increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the accrued Capital Gains Fee during three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 we recorded a Capital Gains Fee of $0.3 million compared to a Capital Gains Fee of $(0.1) million recorded during three months ended March 31, 2016, which represents the reversal of the accrued Capital Gains Fee at December 31, 2015.

Net gain (loss) on investments

Net gain (loss) on investments consists of the sum of: (a) realized gains and losses from the sale of debt or equity securities, or the redemption of equity securities; and (b) changes in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on debt and equity investments. In the period in which a realized gain or loss is recognized, such gain or loss will generally be offset by the reversal of previously recognized unrealized appreciation or depreciation, and the net gain recognized in that period will generally be smaller. The unrealized appreciation or depreciation on debt securities is also reversed when those investments are redeemed or paid off prior to maturity. In such instances, the reversal on unrealized appreciation or depreciation will be reported as a net loss or gain, respectively, and may be partially offset by the acceleration of any premium or discount on the debt security in interest income and any prepayment fees on the debt security in fee income.

We recognized net losses of $1.6 million on senior secured debt during the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the impact of changes to EBITDA multiples used in our valuations, offset by the positive impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors.

We recognized net losses of $0.2 million on subordinated debt during the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the net impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors.

We recognized net gains of $3.0 million on preferred equity investments for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the net impact of changes to EBITDA multiples used in our valuations and the net positive impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors.

We recognized net gains of $0.4 million on common equity and warrant investments for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the impact of changes to EBITDA multiples used in our valuations, offset primarily by the net negative impact of portfolio company-specific performance factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2017, we had $44.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $149.9 million in outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures. As of March 31, 2017, we had $16.3 million available for additional borrowings on our senior secured revolving credit facility with Pacific Western Bank and had drawn all of our available SBA-guaranteed debentures.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In April 2017, we completed a public offering of 3,625,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $14.57 per share (the "Offering"). OFS Advisor paid all of the underwriters' sales load and an additional supplemental payment of $0.25 per share, reflecting the difference between the public offering price of $14.57 per share and the net proceeds of $14.82 per share, which also represented the Company's NAV per share at the time of the Offering. All payments made by OFS Advisor are not subject to reimbursement by us. We received net proceeds from this offering of approximately $53.7 million.

Schedule I

Non-GAAP Financial Measure - 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 Advisor 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.
