NEW YORK, May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SLR Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: SLRC) (the “Company”, “SLRC”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) today reported net investment income (“NII”) of $22.1 million, or $0.41 per share, for the first quarter of 2025. On May 7, 2025, the Board declared a quarterly distribution of $0.41 per share payable on June 27, 2025, to holders of record as of June 13, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, net asset value (“NAV”) was $18.16 per share, compared to $18.20 per share at December 31, 2024.
“We remain pleased with the composition, quality, and performance of our portfolio on an absolute and relative basis in the first quarter,” said Michael Gross, Co-CEO of SLR Investment Corp. “While the ultimate impact from tariffs remains highly uncertain, we are actively engaged with our portfolio companies and believe that our portfolio, which is heavily collateralized by working capital assets and focused on domestic services businesses, is well positioned for the current environment.”
“We are seeing a significant and growing pipeline of asset-based lending investment opportunities driven by both the market dislocation and the retreat of traditional bank lenders which allows us to remain selective while investing in structures that are designed to be more resilient in today’s uncertain environment,” said Bruce Spohler, Co-CEO of SLR Investment Corp. “With conservative portfolio net leverage near the low-end of our target range and available capital of over $800 million, SLRC is well positioned to take advantage of our attractive investment pipeline amidst continued market volatility.”
