CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 10, 2025--
OFS Credit Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCCI) ("OFS Credit," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), an investment company that primarily invests in collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") equity and debt securities, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025.
FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
-- Net investment income ("NII") of $6.2 million, or $0.22 per common share,
for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025. This compares to NII of
$6.1 million, or $0.22 per common share, for the fiscal quarter ended
July 31, 2025. NII moderately increased for the fiscal quarter ended
October 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the size of our average
investment portfolio, at cost, and a decrease in total expenses. See
additional information under "Results of Operations" below.
-- Core net investment income ("Core NII")1 of $8.8 million, or $0.32 per
common share, for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025. This
compares to Core NII of $8.5 million, or $0.31 per common share, for the
fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025. Core NII increased for the fiscal
quarter ended October 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in cashflows
from issuers making their first payments since our investment.
-- Net asset value ("NAV") per common share of $5.46 at October 31, 2025, a
decrease of $0.67 from NAV of $6.13 at July 31, 2025. The decrease in NAV
was primarily due to a net loss on investments of $0.55 per common share
and distributions of $0.345 per common share paid during the quarter
which exceeded our quarterly NII of $0.22 per common share. See
additional information under "Results of Operations" below.
-- During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025, the interest income
yield2 of our investment portfolio was 14.35%, based on average amortized
cost.
-- During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025, we issued 96,810 shares
of common stock through our At-the-Market offering, for net proceeds of
$0.6 million, after deducting commissions, fees and offering costs.
OTHER RECENT EVENTS
-- As previously announced, on October 16, 2025, our board of directors (the
"Board") declared monthly cash distributions of $0.115 per common share
for each of the three months in the fiscal quarter ending January 31,
2026, which implies an annualized cash distribution rate of 28.6% based
on the closing market price of $4.82 per common share on October 31,
2025. See additional information under "Distributions" below.
-- As previously announced, on November 4, 2025, we entered into a Master
Repurchase Agreement ("MRA") with Nomura Securities International, Inc.
for the purchase and sale of CLO securities that may be effected pursuant
to transaction confirmations entered into under the MRA (the "Repurchase
Facility"). We are authorized to enter into up to $25 million in
transactions, from time to time, under the Repurchase Facility.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest Income
During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025, interest income increased to $12.0 million from $11.9 million during the prior quarter. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in the size of our average investment portfolio, at cost.
Expenses
During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025, total expenses decreased by $0.1 million to $5.8 million, primarily due to a $0.1 million decrease in administration fees.
Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments
During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025, net loss on investments of $15.3 million was primarily due to net unrealized depreciation on our CLO equity investments, primarily attributable to weaker cashflows related to spread compression on the underlying collateral.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release regarding management's future expectations, beliefs, intentions, goals, strategies, plans or prospects, including statements relating to: the Company's results of operations, including NII, Core NII, earnings per share and net asset value and the factors that may affect such results; the belief that executing reset and refinancing transactions will extend the cash flow streams of CLO equity securities; and other factors may constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "will," "may," "continue," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "would," "could," "should," "targets," "projects," and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including those risks, uncertainties and factors referred to in documents that may be filed by OFS Credit from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), such as interest rate and inflation rate changes, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the escalated armed conflict and heightened regional tensions in the Middle East, the agenda of the U.S. presidential administration, including the impact of tariff enactment and tax reductions, trade disputes with other countries, instability in the U.S. and international banking systems, the risk of recession or the impact of the prolonged shutdown of U.S government services and related market volatility, on our business, our portfolio companies, our industry and the global economy. Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and, as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including Annual and Semi-Annual Reports on Form N-CSR and monthly portfolio investments reports filed on Form N-PORT for the third month of each of our fiscal quarters.
Supplemental Information Regarding Core Net Investment Income
We provide information relating to Core NII (a non-GAAP measure) on a supplemental basis. This measure is not provided as a substitute for GAAP NII, but in addition to it. Our non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Core NII represents GAAP NII adjusted for differences in applicable cash distributions received on our CLO equity and equity-related investments that have not been optionally redeemed relative to income recognized in accordance with GAAP. OFS Capital Management, LLC, our investment adviser, uses this information in its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative in gauging the quality of the Company's financial performance, identifying trends in its results, and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons.
