Insights
SCM delivered mixed Q2 results with solid core NII of $0.35/share covering 88% of the $0.40 dividend despite portfolio contraction.
Stellus Capital reported core net investment income (NII) of $0.35 per share for Q2 2025, representing a 30% decline from $0.50 in Q2 2024. This core NII covered only 88% of the quarterly $0.40 dividend, creating a concerning coverage gap. The portfolio contracted during the quarter, with $22.8 million in new investments offset by $31.6 million in repayments, resulting in net portfolio shrinkage of $8.8 million.
The company's net asset value (NAV) declined to $13.21 per share, down from $13.46 at year-end 2024, representing a 1.9% NAV erosion over six months. This decline occurred despite issuing new shares above NAV through their at-the-market (ATM) program, where they sold 278,945 shares at an average price of $13.97.
The investment portfolio grew to 112 companies (from 105 at year-end), with 98 debt investments. The weighted average yield on debt investments stood at 10.2%, relatively stable compared to 10.3% at year-end. Interest income continues to be the primary revenue driver.
Credit quality indicators were mixed. While there was $1.44 million in net unrealized appreciation during the quarter, the company recorded $0.86 million in net realized losses. One portfolio company, J.R. Watkins, LLC, underwent a restructuring that resulted in a $1.13 million realized loss on their equity position.
The leverage ratio decreased slightly with $163.1 million in credit facility borrowings against a $315 million facility. Management's decision to continue the full $0.40 quarterly dividend despite insufficient NII coverage suggests confidence in future portfolio growth, though investors should monitor coverage metrics closely in coming quarters.
Robert T. Ladd, Chief Executive Officer of Stellus, stated, "I am pleased to report solid operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, in which we earned

(3) | The dollar-weighted average annualized effective yield is computed using the effective interest rate for our debt investments and other income producing investments, including cash and PIK interest, as well as the accretion of deferred fees. The individual investment yields are then weighted by the respective cost of the investments (as of the date presented) in calculating the weighted average effective yield of the portfolio. The dollar-weighted average annualized yield on the Company's investments for a given period will generally be higher than what investors in the Company's common stock would realize in a return over the same period because the dollar-weighted average annualized yield does not reflect the Company's expenses or any sales load that may be paid by investors. |
(4) | The dollar-weighted average yield on total investments takes the same yields as calculated in the footnote above but weights them to determine the weighted average effective yield as a percentage of the Company's total investments, including non-income producing equity positions and debt investments on non-accrual status. |
