Carlyle Secured Lending reports Q3 EPS 37c, consensus 39c

Reports Q3 NAV per share $16.36. Justin Plouffe, CGBD‘s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We continue to be active in the current market with disciplined underwriting standards. We experienced another quarter of net growth in the portfolio as we maintain leverage at the mid-point of our target range. On the other side of the balance sheet, we continued to optimize CGBD’s capital structure post-quarter-end with our second institutional bond issuance and the repayment of the CSL III SPV Credit Facility, which lowers our cost of financing. With consistent NII generation and significant spillover available to support our dividend, CGBD remains focused on delivering stable income and consistent credit performance as we execute our strategy for investors.”
