Great Elm Capital reports Q2 EPS 32c, consensus 35c

Reports Q2 NAV per share $12.21. “We are pleased to have raised an additional $34 million of fresh capital in June and July, bringing our total 2024 capital raising activities to over $90 million year-to-date. These capital raises further strengthen our balance sheet and position us well to expand our investment portfolio,” said Matt Kaplan, GECC‘s Chief Executive Officer. “While there was some residual negative effect on NAV in the quarter, as the same illiquid portfolio company investments placed on non-accrual from the previous quarter experienced further write-downs, we believe the bulk of the impact has now been realized. Our investments in CLOs are also beginning to bear fruit, with our first distribution received in July, enabling us to capitalize on strong yields and boost NII in the second half of the year. We remain well-positioned to grow our platform and cover our dividend.”
