Earnings Call Summary

Q4 2025

Earnings Call Date:Feb 17, 2026|

% Change Since:

Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral

The call reflects a balanced view: the company experienced material near-term financial pain (NAV decline, GAAP losses, realized/unrealized losses and elevated leverage) driven by market-wide spread compression and CLO market pressures, but management highlighted solid recurring cash flow, active portfolio management (resets/refis), diversification into higher-yielding non-CLO credit assets with attractive realized IRRs, and purposeful capital structure actions (redeeming high-cost preferred, issuing lower-cost perpetuals, buyback authorization) to mitigate headwinds and position the firm for improved returns over time. Given the combination of significant financial challenges alongside credible mitigation strategies and stable operating cash generation, the sentiment is balanced.

Company Guidance

The company guided that it is lowering the common monthly distribution to $0.06 (=$0.18/quarter) for 2026 to retain capital for new investments (after paying $1.68 per share in total cash distributions in 2025 and $0.42 in Q4), and expects to deploy capital into both CLO equity and other credit opportunities; key metrics reported include 2025 GAAP return on common equity of -14.6%, NAV $5.70 as of 12/31 (from $7.00 on 9/30) with a Jan unaudited NAV estimate of $5.44–$5.54, NII less realized losses of -$0.26/share for 2025 (NII $0.23, realized losses $0.49), recurring cash flows of $80M ($0.61/share, up from $77M/$0.59), a Q4 GAAP net loss to common of $110M ($0.84/share), Q4 gross deployments of $184M at a 15.4% weighted effective yield (including $147M into non‑CLO credit), non‑CLOs ≈26% of the portfolio, 34 resets and 27 refinancings in 2025 (10 resets/3 refis in Q4) generating ~42 bps average CLO debt cost savings, WARP ~3.3 years, CCC exposure 4.1% (vs market 4.3%), loans trading <80 at 3.6% (vs market 4.4%), weighted junior OC cushion 4.5% (vs market 3.9%), portfolio exposure to defaulted loans 24 bps, trailing 12‑month default rate 1.2%, CLO issuance metrics (Q4 $55B; 2025 new issuance $209B; combined issuance including resets/refis $546B), collected $57M of recurring cash flows through Jan 31, and a Q4 leverage ratio of 48% (target range 27.5%–37.5%; 46% as of Jan 31 after the Series F redemption); management said all financing is fixed‑rate with no maturities prior to April 2028 and it will aim to bring leverage back to target over time.

Strong recurring cash flow

Recurring cash flows increased to $80 million (≈$0.61/share) in 2025, up from $77 million ($0.59/share) in the prior quarter (≈+3.9% quarter-over-quarter in dollars; ≈+3.4% per-share). Management collected $57 million of recurring cash flows through January 31 and expects additional collections during the quarter.

Active CLO portfolio management

Completed 10 resets and 3 refinancings in Q4 and participated in 34 resets and 27 refinancings in 2025, generating an average CLO debt cost savings of 42 basis points across the portfolio. Weighted average remaining reinvestment period (WARP) was essentially stable (3.4 years → 3.3 years).

Diversification into higher-yielding non-CLO credit assets

Deployed $184 million of gross capital in Q4 at a weighted-average effective yield of 15.4%, of which $147 million was invested in non-CLO credit assets. The non-CLO portion of the portfolio was ~26% at year end. Of $97 million of investments that have gone full cycle and been realized, the gross IRR was approximately 18%.

Capital structure optimization and lower-cost financing

Redeemed the 8% Series F term preferred (paid in full Jan 31), repurchased $9 million of other $25 par securities at discounts, and issued approximately $155 million of 7% Series AA/BB convertible perpetual preferred stock through 2025 to reduce cost of capital and add financing flexibility.

Portfolio quality metrics above market averages

Portfolio had 4.1% CCC exposure vs market 4.3%, 3.6% of loans trading below 80 vs market 4.4%, and a weighted-average junior OC cushion of 4.5% vs market 3.9%, indicating relative credit quality and structural strength vs the broader CLO market.

Established strategic partnerships and JVs

Advanced initiatives with Muzinich (>$40 million committed and fully deployed to U.S. CLO collateral management platform) and backed a European CLO collateral management platform; launched a new JV to invest in regulatory capital relief transactions that will appear in Q1 financials.

Large market activity provides opportunities

2025 saw robust CLO market activity (combined issuance, resets and refinancings of $546 billion), and management signaled a robust pipeline of refinancings, resets and selective new-issue CLO equity opportunities where they have top-line revenue share.
