OFSSO: A 7.5% Baby Bond IPO From OFS Capital

Summary OFS Capital's new 7.5% Notes (OFSSO) offer a yield near 7.7%, but the company's asset coverage cushion is thin and trending lower. Our credit quality assessment rates OFS as highly speculative (B2), making OFSSO riskier than most BDC baby bonds in the sector. While interest coverage is adequate, several peer BDC baby bonds offer higher yields and safer credit profiles than OFSSO at current prices. Given limited asset coverage and better alternatives, I have no investment interest in OFSSO at this time. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

OFS Capital: Q4 Earnings Reveal Continued Weakness To Higher Interest Rate Environment

Summary OFS Capital's elevated non-accrual rate and insufficient net investment income fail to support its high dividend yield, indicating potential for a dividend cut. Despite a temporary NAV increase, driven by unrealized appreciation, OFS's earnings potential remains weak, with no clear turnaround indicators. The portfolio's heavy concentration in manufacturing and healthcare sectors, coupled with minimal high-growth industry exposure, raises concerns about its defensive nature. Current valuation at a discount to NAV reflects market skepticism, suggesting better investment opportunities exist within the BDC sector. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

OFS Capital: Worsening Non-Accrual Rate And Poor Dividend Coverage (Rating Downgrade)

Summary OFS Capital continues to underperform peers because of its limited portfolio strategy and rising non-accruals. The non-accrual rate has increased to 5.4%, indicating higher risk compared to peers like Main Street Capital, Ares Capital, and Blue Owl Capital. OFS trades at a 28.4% discount to NAV, but this discount is justified due to poor NAV growth and elevated risk profile. The high dividend yield of 16.8% is tempting, but a cut may be needed to help the BDC's internal performance improve. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

OFS Capital: Higher Non-Accruals Than Peers Contributes To NAV Deterioration

Summary OFS Capital Corp offers a high dividend yield of 13.7% with a diverse portfolio focused on senior secured loans in various industries. The company's financials show continued growth, with net investment income per share covering the dividend comfortably at 123.5%. Despite the high yield, OFS has underperformed its peers in total return and lacks dividend growth. OFS has failed to provide any meaningful growth or supplemental dividends the way peers have. With a higher non-accrual rate, this may indicate potential weaknesses in underwriting systems. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

OFS Capital: High Yield Small-Cap Gem

Summary OFS Capital is a small-cap financial services company that can provide high yield for investors. The company has a track record of solid financial performance, with continued profitability. Management has historically rewarded shareholders with distributions and NAV appreciation. The company's investment portfolio is diversified and has manageable credit risk. Thesis OFS Capital (OFS) is a small-cap financial services company that can provide high yield in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. The company has a diversified investment portfolio in all areas of the capital structure, with substantial yield and low credit losses. In addition, management has a proven track record of shareholder value creation in the form of increasing its investment value and through distributions. We believe that OFS Capital can continue to enrich shareholders with high distributions and capital preservation. Company Overview OFS Capital is a financial services company that provides financial solutions for middle market companies. The company focuses primarily on debt financing though the company also engages in equity financing across a variety of industries. The firm makes investments of $5 to $35 million for each transaction, and the company engages in transactions such as recapitalization, acquisition financings, growth capital investments, leverage buyouts, and more. Even with the recent volatility after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech, OFS Capital is positive year-to-date, returning 3.49% compared to S&P 500's return of -14.03% in the same time frame. The company has a market capitalization of $144.37 million as of the time of this writing. OFS Year to Date Total Returns (Daily) data by YCharts Small But Mighty OFS Capital is a small cap financial services company based in Chicago that makes investments on companies with an annual EBITDA between $3 million and $50 million. We believe that the company's focus on middle market companies is beneficial for investors. Since the pandemic, middle market companies have been doing particularly well as a result of strong U.S. consumer base and the impact of re-shoring. Though the company is fairly small with regard to market capitalization and the type of financial services that the company provides, the management has been able to deliver solid financial results for shareholders. Though there was a minor quarter-over-quarter decline in the company's quarterly revenue, the company continues to be profitable and results are in line with its historical performance. OFS Revenue ((TTM)) data by YCharts The company also has a diversified investment portfolio of $547.7 million, with debt investments making up $356.0 million and equity investments making up $101.8 million of that portfolio. The remainder of the portfolio is divided in structured finance note investments and unfunded commitments to portfolio companies. Debt investments make up more than half of the investment portfolio, and we are pleased to see that 93% of the loan portfolio has a floating rate, which protects investments from a high interest rate environment, and that 98% of the loan portfolio is senior secured loans, which should provide some equity cushion to investors. We believe that the portfolio is well protected against asset price decline from higher interest rates as portfolio yields will rise with underlying interest rates. In addition, the fact that 98% of loans are senior secured loans means that 98% of the debt portfolio is senior in the capital structure, and so the investment will only suffer realized losses if the invested companies were to decline significantly in value, and wipe out equity holders and subordinated debt holders. Q2 2022 Earnings Presentation Furthermore, the portfolio is geographically diversified and has positions in all segments of a company's capital structure. The mix of the loans should provide a good mix of yield while providing some protections against major credit risks. The company reports that the weighted average performing income yield of its portfolio is 9.1%, which is impressive and similar to the current dividend yield. In addition, OFS Capital has historically been able to protect the value of its portfolio losses and we believe that management will be able to continue to do this moving forward. The cumulative net realized losses for the company has only been ~1.9%, and though loss rates have slightly picked up in the recent years, we believe this is due to the effects of the pandemic and an unfavorable interest rate environment. Q2 2022 Earnings Presentation Friendly Shareholder Policies OFS Capital has a consistent dividend track record, and its current TTM annual dividend is $1.16 per share - a dividend yield of 10.77% based on current prices. Though the dividend payout has a high variance quarter-over-quarter, management's commitment to dividend distribution is apparent, as the company maintained its dividend payout even during pandemic albeit at a lower distribution. Regardless, given the current dividend yield, we believe that the company can continue to pay out around 7% to 10% in dividend yield in the near future, similar to the historical yields below. OFS Dividend Yield data by YCharts Furthermore, the company has had a great track record of shareholder value creation through increases in NAV per share and distributions. The graph below demonstrates the combined increase in the value per share over each quarter. With the exception of quarters following the pandemic lockdowns, the company has generally been able to post increasing NAV/Share increase and an even greater increase in the distributions. Management reports that since Fourth Quarter of 2012, the company has returned $12.06 per share in just distributions alone, which is higher than the current price per share of ~$10 per share. Whether looking at trailing 1 year total return or since IPO in 2012, the company has always returned more to shareholders than the industry average.
