Insights

Logan Ridge reported mixed Q1 results with declining NAV and NII, but continues strategic portfolio repositioning amid merger discussions with Portman Ridge.

Logan Ridge Finance Corporation's Q1 2025 results reveal a significant NAV decline to $29.66 per share from $32.04 in Q4 2024—a 7.4% quarter-over-quarter decrease. This drop appears primarily driven by the Sequoia Healthcare write-down mentioned in management commentary, reflected in the $8.76 million of net unrealized depreciation during the quarter.

The company's NII of $0.35 per share represents a meaningful reduction from $0.56 in the previous quarter, while total investment income fell to $4.6 million from $5.4 million sequentially. This 35.7% quarterly NII decline raises questions about earnings consistency and distribution coverage, particularly with the declared Q2 distribution of $0.36 slightly exceeding current NII.

On the positive side, Logan Ridge continues executing its strategic transition away from non-yielding equity investments. The equity portion of the portfolio decreased to 10.8% from 13.8% last quarter and 18.2% year-over-year. This portfolio rotation should eventually support more stable NII, though the transition period creates earnings volatility.

The portfolio's credit metrics show mixed signals—non-accruals decreased to 2.2% of fair value from 4.6%, but this appears due to further write-downs rather than positive resolutions, as the number of non-accrual investments remained unchanged at three companies. The weighted average yield on debt investments held steady at 10.7%, indicating stable income generation from performing assets.

The company's liquidity position tightened considerably, with cash decreasing to $5.1 million from $15.0 million last quarter. While the asset coverage ratio of 179.4% provides regulatory compliance, it's lower than many BDC peers. With 90.7% of debt investments at floating rates, LRFC remains positioned to benefit in a stable or rising rate environment but would face pressure if rates decline significantly.

The proposed merger with Portman Ridge represents a potential catalyst that could address several challenges through increased scale and liquidity. Management's emphasis on this transaction suggests it's viewed as strategically important for addressing the structural limitations of Logan Ridge's relatively small size in the competitive BDC landscape.

 Reports Solid First Quarter Results with Net Investment Income of $0.35 Per Share and a Net Asset Value of $29.66 Per Share

Declared a Distribution of $0.36 Per Share for the Second Quarter of 2025

Successfully Exited its Equity Investment in GA Communications, Inc., Further Reducing the Company’s Non-Yielding Equity Portfolio

Investors are Encouraged to Vote FOR the Merger with Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (“PTMN”)

NEW YORK, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (“Logan Ridge”, “LRFC”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (Nasdaq: LRFC) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Total investment income was $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $5.4 million reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
  • Net investment income (“NII”) was $0.9 million, or $0.35 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $1.5 million or $0.56 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
  • Net asset value was $29.66 per share as of March 31, 2025, as compared to $32.04 per share as of December 31, 2024.
  • The Company made approximately $15.1 million of investments and had approximately $12.4 million in repayments and sales of investments, resulting in net deployment of approximately $2.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Subsequent Events

  • On May 7, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a second quarter distribution of $0.36 per share, payable on May 29, 2025, to stockholders of record as of May 19, 2025.

Management Commentary
Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer and President of Logan Ridge, said, “Following record results in 2024, Logan Ridge continued to make significant strides in strengthening its portfolio, despite the large write-down on the Company’s legacy term loan to Sequoia Healthcare. Notably, during the quarter, the Company grew its portfolio with net deployment, and as previously announced, Logan Ridge continued rotating out of the legacy equity portfolio with the successful exit of its second largest non-yielding equity investment in GA Communications, Inc. This exit stands as another important achievement in our long-term strategy of rotating out of the legacy equity portfolio, which has now been reduced to just 10.8% of our portfolio at fair value, down from 13.8% as of the prior quarter and 18.2% in the first quarter of 2024.

Looking forward, with the continued monetization of the legacy equity portfolio, we believe the Company is well-positioned to continue to grow earnings and increase long-term shareholder value as we navigate this dynamic market shaped by renewed uncertainty, increased market volatility, and shifting geopolitical dynamics.

Finally, we remain excited about the opportunities the proposed combination with Portman Ridge presents. This transaction offers the potential for increased scale, improved liquidity, and enhanced operational efficiencies, all of which would strengthen our ability to deliver greater value to shareholders. The combination of these companies would be a marquee transaction for our BDC franchise and a significant milestone for the BC Partners Credit Platform. We encourage all shareholders to vote FOR the proposed merger, as recommended by the Board of Directors of both companies. We are excited about the road ahead and look forward to sharing more updates at the upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders.”
