OFS Capital (NASDAQ: OFS) posts Q1 2026 loss as NAV and yields drop
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
OFS Capital Corporation reported first-quarter 2026 results showing lower earnings and continued credit losses. Net investment income was $2.5 million, or $0.18 per share, down from $0.20 in the prior quarter, while net loss on investments reached $13.9 million, driving a net decrease in net assets of $11.6 million.
Net asset value per share fell from $9.19 as of December 31, 2025 to $8.16 as of March 31, 2026. Total investments at fair value declined to $308.1 million and total net assets to $109.3 million. The loan portfolio had non-accrual loans with $10.9 million fair value, or 3.5% of total investments.
The investment portfolio’s weighted-average performing income yield decreased from 13.5% to 12.5%, mainly due to lower earned yields on structured finance securities. The board declared a second-quarter 2026 distribution of $0.17 per common share, payable July 6, 2026 to stockholders of record on June 19, 2026. OFS also refinanced its credit facilities, adding an $80.0 million Natixis revolving facility and redeeming remaining 4.75% notes due February 2026.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Net asset value erosion: NAV per share declined from $9.19 to $8.16 in Q1 2026, driven by $13.9 million of realized and unrealized investment losses, indicating meaningful balance-sheet pressure.
- Credit and portfolio stress: Non-accrual loans totaled $10.9 million (3.5% of investments), weighted-average performing income yield fell from 13.5% to 12.5%, and a major realized loss was taken on Envocore-related positions.
Insights
Rising credit losses and lower yields pressured OFS Capital’s Q1 2026 results.
OFS Capital generated net investment income of $2.5M, or $0.18 per share, but reported a net decrease in net assets of $11.6M as realized and unrealized losses on investments totaled $13.9M. Net asset value per share fell from $9.19 to $8.16.
The filing attributes $9.4M of net unrealized depreciation to its structured finance securities, reflecting spread and price pressure in underlying collateral. Non-accrual loans had aggregate fair value of $10.9M, or 3.5% of total investments, and one new loan was placed on non-accrual while another impaired position was partially recovered at a realized loss.
On funding, OFS redeemed $16.0M of 4.75% notes and added an $80.0M Natixis revolving facility maturing in 2031, while amending its Banc of California facility to lower covenants and reduce maximum commitment. The regulatory asset coverage ratio of 154% remained above the 150% requirement, and a quarterly distribution of $0.17 per share was declared for Q2 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, based on fair value, our investment portfolio was comprised of the following:
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, a loan to a portfolio company with an amortized cost and fair value of $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, representing 0.3% of the total portfolio, at fair value, was placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, we received net proceeds of $2.3 million for the partial recovery of a second lien debt investment, with an amortized cost and fair value of $6.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, that was previously on non-accrual status, resulting in a realized loss of $4.3 million. As of March 31, 2026, our loan portfolio had non-accrual loans with an aggregate fair value of $10.9 million, or 3.5% of our total investments at fair value.
OUTSTANDING DEBT
On February 9, 2026, we redeemed the remaining $16.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% notes due February 10, 2026.
On February 18, 2026, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, OFSCC-FS, LLC (“OFSCC-FS”), entered into a revolving credit and security agreement with Natixis, New York Branch, which provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $80.0 million. See additional information under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
On February 18, 2026, in connection with the closing of the Natixis credit facility, OFSCC-FS repaid in full all outstanding obligations due, and terminated all commitments, under its credit facility with BNP Paribas. All liens securing the BNP credit facility were released upon such repayment.
As of March 31, 2026, approximately 96% of our outstanding debt matures in more than two years and 74% of our outstanding debt is unsecured. As of March 31, 2026, our regulatory asset coverage ratio was 154%, which exceeded the minimum asset coverage requirement of 150% under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the average dollar borrowings and weighted-average effective interest rate for our debt were as follows ($ in millions):

Investment Income
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, total investment income decreased to $8.9 million from $9.4 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $1.3 million, partially offset by an increase in non-recurring dividend income of $0.9 million.
Expenses
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, total expenses, net of the base management fee waiver, decreased by $0.2 million to $6.4 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in base management and incentive fees of $0.3 million.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a net realized and unrealized loss on investments of $13.9 million. The net loss on investments of $13.9 million was primarily attributable to $9.4 million of net unrealized depreciation on our structured finance securities still held as of period end, related to spread tightening and price declines in the underlying loan collateral.
The total net loss on investments of $13.9 million includes a net realized loss of $11.3 million. The net realized loss of $11.3 million was primarily related to the recognition of a realized loss of $9.0 million from the partial recovery of our second lien debt and write-off of our equity participation rights investments in Envocore Holding, LLC. The loss had been substantially recognized in prior periods, with a current quarter net asset value impact of $0.1 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2026, we had $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, which includes $2.6 million held by OFSCC-FS. Our use of cash held by OFSCC-FS is restricted by contractual conditions of our credit facility with Natixis, including limitations on the amount of cash OFSCC-FS can distribute to us.
As of March 31, 2026, we had an unused commitment of $6.3 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Banc of California and an unused commitment of $35.3 million under our credit facility with Natixis, each of which is subject to the terms of the borrowing base and other covenants.
On January 9, 2026, we amended the Banc of California credit facility to extend the maturity date from February 28, 2026 to February 28, 2028.
On March 27, 2026, we amended the Banc of California credit facility to, among other things: (i) reduce the minimum tangible net asset value covenant from $100.0 million to $75.0 million; (ii) reduce the covenant requiring minimum quarterly net investment income after management/incentive fees from $2.0 million to $1.0 million for each of the quarters ending March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026, after which the minimum quarterly net investment income after management/incentive fees covenant shall return to $2.0 million; and (iii) decrease our maximum commitment amount from $25.0 million to $15.0 million.
Borrowings under the Natixis facility bear interest at a rate based on SOFR plus a margin of 2.35%. The Natixis facility also includes a fee of 0.40% on the unused amount of the facility, as well as an arranger fee of 0.20% on the total commitment amount of the facility. The reinvestment period during which we are permitted to borrow terminates on February 18, 2029, and the facility is scheduled to mature on February 18, 2031.
As of March 31, 2026, we had outstanding commitments to fund various undrawn revolvers and other credit facilities of portfolio companies totaling $7.8 million.
