Previous report
On January 23, 2023, we acquired Oaktree Strategic Income II, Inc. (“OSI2”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “OSI2 Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 14, 2022, by and among OSI2, us, Project Superior Merger Sub, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, Oaktree.

Previous report
Total investment income for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $287.0 million and $277.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, this amount consisted of $277.4 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $14.8 million of PIK interest), $5.3 million of fee income and $4.2 million of dividend income. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, this amount consisted of $268.3 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $14.2 million of PIK interest), $6.0 million of fee income and $3.2 million of dividend income. The increase of $9.6 million, or 3.5%, in our total investment income for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2023, was due primarily to a $9.2 million increase in interest income, which was primarily driven by the impact of higher base rates on our floating rate debt portfolio and a larger investment portfolio primarily from the assets acquired in the OSI2 Merger, and a $1.1 million increase in dividend income. This was partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in fee income due to lower exit fees.
Previous report
Expenses
Previous report
Net expenses (expenses net of fee waivers) for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $156.8 million and $144.1 million, respectively. Net expenses increased for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2023, by $12.7 million, or 8.8%. The increase in net expenses was primarily driven by $17.2 million of higher interest expense due to the impact of rising interest rates on our floating rate liabilities and an increase in average borrowings outstanding. Further contributing to the increase were 1.0 million of higher management fees (net of waivers) as a result of a larger investment portfolio. This was partially offset by a $3.7 million reduction in Part I incentive fees, $1.2 million of lower professional fees and $0.8 million of lower general and administrative expenses.
Previous report
Net investment income for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $3.1 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the $9.6 million increase in total investment income and the $12.7 million increase in net expenses.

Previous wording
Global financial markets have experienced an increase in volatility as concerns about the impact of higher inflation, elevated interest rates, a potential slowdown in economic activity and the current conflicts in the Middle East have weighed on market participants. These factors have created disruptions in supply chains and economic activity and have had a particularly adverse impact on certain companies in the energy, raw materials and transportation sectors, among others. These uncertainties can ultimately impact the overall supply and demand of the market through changing spreads, deal terms and structures and equity purchase price multiples.
Current wording
Global financial markets have experienced an increase in volatility over the last few years amid higher inflation, elevated interest rates, and concern over a potential slowdown in economic activity. As inflation pressures have eased in recent months, the Federal Reserve has relaxed its monetary policies and cut the federal funds rate to support the broader economy. However, various macroeconomic headwinds remain including ongoing conflict in the Middle East and signs of an economic slowdown outside the United States. These uncertainties can ultimately impact the overall supply and demand of the market through changing spreads, deal terms and structures and equity purchase price multiples.

Against this backdrop, we believe attractive risk-adjusted returns can be achieved by making loans to middle market companies that typically possess resilient business models with strong underlying fundamentals. Given the breadth of the investment platform and decades of credit investing experience of Oaktree and its affiliates, we believe that we have the resources and experience to source, diligence and structure investments in these companies.

As of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, approximately 94.0% and 89.9%, respectively, of our total assets represented investments at fair value.
Current wording
As of December 31, 2024, we held $2,835.3 million of investments at fair value, down from $3,021.3 million held at September 30, 2024, primarily driven by sales of investments and net realized and unrealized losses during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Previous wording
We generate revenues in the form of interest income on debt investments and, to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees. Some of our investments provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest income. The principal amount of the debt investments and any accrued but unpaid interest generally becomes due at the maturity date.

Previous wording
Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount, or OID, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or a return of capital depending upon management’s judgment. A non-accrual investment is restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and the portfolio company, in management’s judgment, is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining obligations. As of June 30, 2024, there were eight investments on non-accrual status that in the aggregate represented 5.7% and 3.7% of total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there were four investments on non-accrual status that in aggregate represented 2.4% and 1.8% of total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively.

Previous wording
Our investments in debt securities may contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, which typically represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if we do not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. Our decision to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security involves subjective judgments and determinations based on available information about a particular portfolio company, including whether the portfolio company is current with respect to its payment of principal and interest on its loans and debt securities; financial statements and financial projections for the portfolio company; our assessment of the portfolio company's business development success; information obtained by us in connection with periodic formal update interviews with the portfolio company's management and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor; and information about the general economic and market conditions in which the portfolio company operates. Our determination to cease accruing PIK interest is generally made well before our full write-down of a loan or debt security. In addition, if it is subsequently determined that we will not be able to collect any previously accrued PIK interest, the fair value of the loans or debt securities would be reduced by the amount of such previously accrued, but uncollectible, PIK interest. The accrual of PIK interest on our debt investments increases the recorded cost bases of these investments in our Consolidated Financial Statements including for purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee payable by us to Oaktree. To maintain our status as a RIC, certain income from PIK interest may be required to be distributed to our stockholders, even though we have not yet collected the cash and may never do so.

Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $95.0 million and $101.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, this amount consisted of $92.1 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $6.1 million of PIK interest), $1.5 million of fee income and $1.4 million of dividend income. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, this amount consisted of $99.3 million of interest income from portfolio investments (which included $4.0 million of PIK interest), $1.6 million of fee income and $1.1 million of dividend income. The decrease of $6.9 million, or 6.8%, in our total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, was due primarily to a $7.2 million decrease in interest income, which resulted from a lower average investment portfolio, an increase in the number of non-accrual investments, and lower OID acceleration, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in dividend income.

Total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $86.6 million and $98.0 million, respectively.

The decrease of $11.3 million, or 11.6%, in our total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, was due primarily to an $11.1 million decrease in interest income, which resulted from decreases in reference rates, the impact of certain investments that were placed on non-accrual status and a smaller investment portfolio, and a $0.6 million decrease in dividend income primarily driven by our investment in SLF JV I.
