Insights

BDC financial performance analyst

Oxford Square’s 2025 income covered dividends, but NAV and returns declined.

Oxford Square Capital Corp. generated total investment income of $40.3M in 2025 against expenses of $17.7M, producing net investment income of $22.6M or $0.30 per share. Distributions were $0.42 per share, so cash payouts exceeded earnings on a per-share basis.

Unrealized and realized losses totaling about $41.3M drove a net decrease in net assets of $18.7M. Net asset value per share declined from $2.30 to $1.69, and total return based on NAV was a negative 8.26%. These figures reflect market and credit conditions affecting syndicated loans and CLO investments.

The company still declared monthly distributions of $0.035 per share for April, May, and June 2026, indicating a continued income focus. Future filings may provide more color on portfolio performance drivers and whether realized and unrealized losses moderate or persist.

__________

(1) Represents per share net investment income for the year, based upon weighted average shares outstanding.

(2) Net realized and unrealized gains include rounding adjustments to reconcile change in net asset value per share.

(3) Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The ultimate tax character of the Company’s earnings cannot be determined until tax returns are prepared after the end of the fiscal year.

(4) Total return based on market value equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, assuming distribution reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, excluding any discounts divided by the beginning market value per share.

(5) Total return based on net asset value equals the increase or decrease of ending net asset value over beginning net asset value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning net asset value.

(6) Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of the annual investment sales and repayments of principal or annual investment purchases over the average of the total investments at fair value.
