Insights

MSC Income Fund delivered solid Q1 2025 results with favorable ROE, improved net investment income, and enhanced capital structure.

The first quarter results from MSC Income Fund show meaningful improvement in several key metrics despite a slight decrease in total investment income. Net investment income increased to $16.8 million ($0.38 per share), up 15% year-over-year, while return on equity reached 9.5% on an annualized basis. This positive performance occurred despite a 2% decline in total investment income to $33.2 million.

Looking at portfolio changes, MSIF significantly expanded its private loan portfolio with $137.5 million in new investments, resulting in a net increase of $88.8 million in cost basis. Meanwhile, the middle market portfolio decreased by $25.7 million, indicating a strategic shift toward private lending. Importantly, the company maintained a healthy net asset value of $15.35 per share.

MSIF also strengthened its capital structure by amending its credit facilities. The Corporate Facility was expanded from $165 million to $245 million with an accordion feature up to $300 million, while the SPV Facility saw favorable adjustments including a decreased interest rate (SOFR plus 2.20% vs. previous 3.00%) and extended maturity dates. The company's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 0.79x, below their target leverage levels, primarily due to the recent equity offering that raised $90.5 million.

Dividend distribution remained stable with a $0.35 regular quarterly dividend plus a $0.01 supplemental dividend, totaling $0.36 per share. The recent NYSE listing in January 2025 brought significant benefits, including reduced management fees (to 1.5% of average total assets) and incentive fees (to 17.5%), which contributed to the 15.3% decrease in total expenses.

While the company experienced a $21.1 million net realized loss from investments, primarily from exits and restructures of certain portfolio investments, this was offset by $18.8 million in net unrealized appreciation. Overall, these results demonstrate MSIF's ability to generate consistent income while navigating portfolio adjustments and positioning for future growth through enhanced liquidity and leverage capacity.

The $0.7 million decrease in total investment income in the first quarter of 2025 from the comparable period of the prior year was principally attributable to (i) a $1.8 million decrease in fee income, primarily due to decreased  exit, prepayment and amendment activity and (ii) a $1.6 million decrease in interest income, primarily due to an increase in investments on non-accrual status and a decrease in interest rates on floating rate investment portfolio debt investments primarily resulting from decreases in benchmark index rates, partially offset by higher average levels of income producing investment portfolio debt investments. The decrease in total investment income was partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in dividend income, primarily due to an increase in dividend income from the Fund's lower middle market ("LMM") portfolio investments. The $0.7 million decrease in total investment income in the first quarter of 2025 includes the impact of a net decrease of $1.3 million in certain income considered less consistent or non-recurring, primarily related to a $1.6 million decrease in such fee income, partially offset by small increases in such dividend income and interest income when compared to the same period in 2024.

Total expenses, net of waivers, decreased by $3.0 million, or 15.3%, to $16.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $19.4 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was principally attributable to (i) a $1.6 million decrease in incentive fees and (ii) a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense. The decrease in incentive fees was primarily attributable to the transition to the amended advisory agreement effective upon the Listing. The decrease in interest expense is primarily related to decreased weighted-average interest rates on the Fund's Credit Facilities (as defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below) based upon the decreases in benchmark index rates for these floating rate debt obligations and reductions to the spreads since the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by an increase in weighted-average outstanding borrowings used to fund the growth in the Fund's investment portfolio.

The Fund's ratio of total non-interest operating expenses, excluding incentive fees, as a percentage of quarterly average total assets, or the Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio, decreased to 1.9%  on an annualized basis for the first quarter of 2025, from 2.2% for the first quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of the decreased base management fee percentage under the amended advisory agreement effective upon the Listing.

The $2.2 million increase in net investment income in the first quarter of 2025 from the comparable period of the prior year was principally attributable to decreased expenses, partially offset by the decrease in total investment income, each as discussed above. Net investment income increased by $0.02 per share for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, to $0.38 per share. The per share increase in net investment income was after the impact of an 11.3% increase in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to new shares issued in the Fund's follow-on equity offering in January 2025. Net investment income on a per share basis in the first quarter of 2025 is also after a net decrease of $0.04 per share resulting from a decrease in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature compared to the first quarter of 2024, as discussed above.

The $15.9 million net increase in net assets resulting from operations in the first quarter of 2025 represents a $5.3 million increase from the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily the result of (i) a $19.9 million increase in net unrealized appreciation from portfolio investments (including the impact of accounting reversals relating to realized gains/income (losses)), (ii) a $2.3 million increase in income tax benefit and (iii) a $2.2 million increase in net investment income, partially offset by a $19.2 million increase in net realized loss from investments resulting from a net realized loss of $21.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to a net realized loss of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The $21.1 million net realized loss from investments for the first quarter of 2025 was primarily the result of (i) a $13.5 million realized loss on the full exit of a middle market portfolio investment, (ii) $7.7 million of realized losses on the restructures of two private loan portfolio investments, (iii) a $5.5 million realized loss on the partial exit of a middle market portfolio investment and (iv) a $1.2 million realized loss on the restructure of a middle market portfolio investment, partially offset by $6.0 million of realized gains on the full exits of two private loan portfolio investments.

The following table provides a summary of the total net unrealized appreciation of $18.8 million for the first quarter of 2025:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, the Fund had aggregate liquidity of $163.5 million, including (i) $39.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and (ii) $124.0 million of aggregate unused capacity under the Fund's corporate revolving credit facility (the "Corporate Facility") and the Fund's special purpose vehicle revolving credit facility (the "SPV Facility" and, together with the Corporate Facility, the "Credit Facilities"), which are maintained to support the Fund's investment and operating activities.

Several details regarding the Fund's capital structure as of March 31, 2025 are as follows:

  • The SPV Facility included $300 million in total commitments plus an accordion feature that allows the Fund to request an increase in the total commitments under the facility to up to $450 million.
  • $260.7 million in outstanding borrowings under the SPV Facility, with an interest rate of 6.5% based on the applicable SOFR effective for the contractual reset date of April 1, 2025.
  • The Corporate Facility included $245 million in total commitments from a diversified group of seven lenders plus an accordion feature that allows the Fund to request an increase in the total commitments under the facility to up to $300 million.
  • $160.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Corporate Facility, with an interest rate of 6.4% based on the applicable SOFR effective for the contractual reset date of April 1, 2025.
  • $150 million of notes outstanding that bear interest at a rate of 4.04% per year (the "Series A Notes"). The Series A Notes mature on October 30, 2026.
  • The Fund maintains an investment grade rating from Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC of BBB- with a stable outlook.
  • The Fund's net asset value totaled $718.9 million, or $15.35 per share.
  • The Fund's debt-to-equity ratio was 0.79x as of March 31, 2025, with the decline from the Fund's target leverage levels primarily attributable to the follow-on equity offering executed during the first quarter of 2025.

In January 2025, the Fund listed its shares of common stock on the NYSE and completed a follow-on equity offering which generated net proceeds of $90.5 million in connection therewith, providing the Fund a significant increase in liquidity and expanding the Fund's ability to utilize additional leverage under its existing regulatory asset coverage requirements, which effectively limit the Fund's current total debt capacity to an amount equal to the Fund's net asset value.

On January 29, 2025, the Fund's Board of Directors unanimously approved the application of modified regulatory asset coverage requirements, which will increase the Fund's total leverage capacity on January 29, 2026 to an amount effectively equal to two times the Fund's current total leverage capacity.

(a)

The Fund had equity ownership in all of its LMM portfolio companies, and the Fund's average fully diluted equity ownership in those portfolio companies was 9%.

(b)

The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt investments as of March 31, 2025, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments and any debt investments on non-accrual status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each applicable debt investment as of March 31, 2025.

(c)

The average EBITDA is calculated using a weighted-average for the private loan portfolio and a simple average for the LMM portfolio. These calculations exclude certain portfolio companies, including four private loan portfolio companies and four LMM portfolio companies as EBITDA is not a meaningful valuation metric for the Fund's investments in these portfolio companies, and those portfolio companies whose primary purpose is to own real estate and those portfolio companies whose primary operations have ceased and only residual value remains.

The Fund's total investment portfolio at fair value consists of approximately 61% private loan, 35% LMM, 2% middle market and 2% other portfolio investments.

The fair value of the Fund's LMM portfolio company equity investments was 182% of the cost of such equity investments, and the Fund's LMM portfolio companies had a median net senior debt (senior interest-bearing debt through the Fund's debt position less cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) ratio of 2.8 to 1.0 and a median total EBITDA to senior interest expense ratio of 2.9 to 1.0. Including all debt that is junior in priority to the Fund's debt position, these median ratios were each 2.9 to 1.0.(3)(4)

As of March 31, 2025, the Fund's investment portfolio also included:

  • Middle market portfolio investments in eight portfolio companies, collectively totaling $30.8 million in fair value and $40.6 million in cost basis, which comprised 2.4% and 3.4% of the Fund's investment portfolio at fair value and cost, respectively; and
  • Other portfolio investments in six entities, spread across four investment managers, collectively totaling $22.6 million in fair value and $16.5 million in cost basis, which comprised 1.8% and 1.4% of the Fund's investment portfolio at fair value and cost, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, non-accrual investments comprised 2.8% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 6.1% at cost, and the Fund's total portfolio investments at fair value were 105% of the related cost basis.
