NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SLR Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: SLRC) (the “Company”, “SLRC”, “we”, or “our”) today reported net investment income of $23.9 million, or $0.44 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, net asset value (NAV) was $18.09 per share, compared to $18.06 as of September 30, 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company returned to making quarterly, rather than monthly, distributions to shareholders and distributed $0.41 per share to shareholders on December 28, 2023. On February 27, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly distribution of $0.41 per share payable on March 28, 2024, to holders of record as of March 14, 2024.

“We are pleased to report a 7.3% increase year-over-year in our quarterly net investment income (NII) per share, which represents the fourth consecutive quarter of NII growth,” said Michael Gross, the Company’s Co-CEO. “Originations in 2023 represented a record high for SLRC. When coupled with record repayments for the year, our portfolio experienced healthy turnover and allowed us to take advantage of an attractive investment environment.”

“We believe our 2023 investments represent an attractive vintage and should produce strong risk-adjusted returns,” said Bruce Spohler, Co-CEO. “We were successful in further ramping the SLR Senior Lending Program, which contributed to an expansion in our NII. Additionally, we continue to believe the performance and financial condition of our portfolio companies remains solid, with credit quality metrics remaining strong as evidenced by the sequential increase in net asset value and low levels of non-accruals.”
