Declares a $0.34 Per Share Distribution

Second Quarter Net Investment Income of $0.36 Per Share

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- OFS Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:OFS) ("OFS Capital", "we", "us", or "our") today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016.

SECOND QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Net investment income of $3.5 million, or $0.36 per share—an increase of 25% year-over-year and above the $0.34 distribution.
• Net asset value per share increased to $14.76 at June 30, 2016 from $14.66 per share at June 30, 2015.
• The weighted average yield to fair value of the loan portfolio was 11.84% as of June 30, 2016.
• 100% of our debt is fixed rate with no maturities until 2022— The stated weighted average cash interest rate on our Small Business Administration ("SBA") debentures was 3.18% as of June 30, 2016.
• On August 5, 2016, OFS Capital's Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.34 per share for the third quarter of 2016, payable on September 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of September 16, 2016.

"This quarter marks the fifth consecutive quarter our adjusted net investment income exceeded our distribution. Our net asset value remains stable and we are proud of the long-term total returns we have generated for our investors. We attribute this to the strength of our direct origination and underwriting capabilities as well as the alignment of interests between us and our external manager that owns more than 30% of our outstanding shares," said Bilal Rashid, OFS Capital's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to our attractive long-term financing through the SBIC program, we have sufficient capital to continue with our investment strategy given the $44.6 million in cash at the end of the second quarter, the ability to monetize our remaining portfolio of lower-yielding loans, and ability to borrow additional capital."

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

During the second quarter of 2016, OFS Capital closed new senior secured debt investments in three portfolio companies totaling $9.2 million. In addition, OFS Capital made $8.5 million of new investments in four existing portfolio companies, consisting of a $2.7 million subordinated debt investment and a $0.8 million equity investment in the same portfolio company and $5.0 million of senior secured debt investments in three existing portfolio companies.

The total fair value of OFS Capital's investment portfolio was approximately $248.8 million at June 30, 2016, which was equal to 101% of cost. The portfolio consisted of outstanding loans to 36 portfolio companies, totaling approximately $219.6 million in aggregate principal amount (with an aggregate fair value of $216.2 million) as of June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, OFS Capital also held equity investments with an aggregate fair value of $32.6 million, of which $30.8 million was invested in 16 portfolio companies in which OFS Capital also held debt investments and $1.8 million was invested in one portfolio company in which OFS Capital solely held an equity investment.

As of June 30, 2016, floating rate loans comprised 64% of OFS Capital's debt investment portfolio, with the remaining 36% in fixed rate loans, as a percentage of fair value. As of June 30, 2016, 66% of OFS Capital's investment portfolio at fair value was comprised of senior secured loans, 21% of subordinated loans, and 13% of equity investments. The weighted average yield on debt investments was 11.84% at June 30, 2016. OFS Capital had unfunded commitments of $5.0 million in four portfolio companies at quarter's end.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest Income:
Interest income decreased by $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 million volume variance due to a 22% decrease in the weighted average principal balance of investments outstanding, offset by a $0.7 million rate variance due to a 13% increase in our average portfolio cash yield during the three months ended June 30, 2016. Both the volume and rate of variances were primarily a result of the WM Asset Sale, in which we sold a portfolio of 20 senior secured debt investments with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $67.8 million to Madison Capital Funding LLC on May 28, 2015.

Dividend Income:
Dividend income increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to a common stock cash dividend declared by a portfolio company during the three months ended June 30, 2016. None of our portfolio companies declared a common stock dividend during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Fee Income:
Fee income increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in prepayment fees. We recorded prepayment fees of $0.4 million resulting from $11.5 million of unscheduled principal payments during the three months ended June 30, 2016. There were no prepayment fees recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Total expenses

Total expenses decreased by $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Interest expense decreased by $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $0.3 million in cash interest expense on our secured revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("WM Credit Facility") and a $1.2 million write-off of deferred debt issuance costs, both related to the termination of the WM Credit Facility on May 28, 2015, offset by an increase of $0.1 million in cash interest expense incurred on our SBA debentures. Interest expense on our SBA debentures increased primarily due to an increase in the weighted average interest rate when the remaining $22.6 million of our debentures pooled on September 23, 2015, and our rate on that pool converted from the 1.03% short-term rate to 3.18%.

Management fee expense decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, due to a decrease in the average total assets subject to the base management fee.

Incentive fee expense increased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due to a 44% increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, which resulted in a $0.5 million increase in the incentive fee catch-up provision (the amount of pre-incentive fee income that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%) and a $0.1 million increase in the incentive fee due to the amount of pre-incentive fee income that exceeded 2.5%.

Net gain (loss) on investments

Net gain (loss) on investments consists of the aggregate (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 premium or discount on the debt security, if any, in interest income and prepayment fees, if any, in fee income.

We recognized net gains of $2.6 million on senior secured debt during the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of the impact of narrowing spreads in middle-market and second-lien loan indices, and other interest rate market factors on our discount rates, and by the impact of portfolio company-specific factors on our valuations.

We recognized net losses of $0.4 million on subordinated debt during the three months ended June 30, 2016, principally as a result of the net impact of portfolio company-specific factors on our valuations and the pay-off of certain subordinated debt investments, offset by the net impact of narrowing spreads in second-lien loan indices on our discount rates.

Net losses on equity investments of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were primarily attributable to the net impact of portfolio company-specific factors on our valuations, offset primarily by the impact of certain investments moving closer to their expected exit events.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2016, we had $44.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $149.9 million in outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures. As of June 30, 2016, we had $15.0 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.

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 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, (1) excluding write-offs of deferred debt issuance costs associated with our permanent reductions of the WM Credit Facility, (2) adding back the amount of net investment income incentive fee expenses associated with the write-offs that we would have incurred had the write-offs not occurred, and (3) 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.

The following table provides a reconciliation from net investment income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted NII for the periods presented:
