SLR Investment reports Q2 EPS 44c, consensus 40c

Reports Q2 NAV per share $18.19. “We are pleased to report that our specialty finance businesses have continued to expand their pipelines in what has been a challenging investment environment for private credit more broadly. Our record ABL originations for the second quarter furthered our strategic goal of shifting the portfolio mix to predominantly specialty finance investments. Today, over 80% of our portfolio fair value consists of specialty finance loans, which we believe carry attractive risk adjusted returns and offer downside protection through collateral coverage,” said Bruce Spohler, co-CEO of SLR Investment (SLRC) Corp. “We are continuing to see demand for our asset-based financing solutions from issuers navigating the current uncertain economic climate.”
