Blue Owl Capital Corporation Announces December 31, 2025 Financial Results
NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Capital Corporation (NYSE:OBDC) ("OBDC" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
FOURTH QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
- Fourth quarter GAAP net investment income ("NII") per share of $0.38
- Fourth quarter adjusted NII per share(1) of $0.36, consistent with the prior quarter of $0.36
- Dividends declared for the fourth quarter were $0.37 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 10.0%(2)
- Net asset value ("NAV") per share of $14.81, as compared with $14.89 as of September 30, 2025, driven primarily by credit-related markdowns on a small number of names, partially offset by accretive share repurchases
- New investment commitments for the fourth quarter were $684 million and sales and repayments were $1.4 billion, as compared with $1.3 billion of new investment commitments and $797 million of sales and repayments for the three months ended September 30, 2025
- Investments on non-accrual represented 2.3% and 1.1% of the portfolio at cost and fair value, respectively, as compared with 2.7% and 1.3% as of September 30, 2025
- OBDC repurchased approximately $148 million of OBDC common stock at 86% price-to-book value
- The Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a new $300 million share repurchase program, replacing the prior $200 million authorization
- In January 2026, received Moody's upgrade to Baa2 given view on credit profile and liability management
- Announced today that OBDC and certain other Blue Owl BDCs entered into agreements to sell $1.4 billion of investments to institutional investors, including $400 million of investments from OBDC
"OBDC closed the year with strong fourth quarter earnings and credit performance, reflecting the health of our borrowers and our defensive, senior secured strategy focused on the upper middle market," said Craig W. Packer, Chief Executive Officer. "Demonstrating our conviction in OBDC's strategy and long-term value, we repurchased approximately $148 million of OBDC's common stock during the quarter, accretive to NAV per share and the largest quarterly repurchase activity in our history."
Mr. Packer continued, "Today we announced the sale of $1.4 billion of direct lending investments at book value across three Blue Owl BDCs, including $400 million from OBDC consisting of partial sales across existing portfolio companies. What began as a targeted transaction to provide liquidity to OBDC II shareholders attracted significant interest from sophisticated institutional investors, allowing us to opportunistically extend the sale to OBDC. We expect this transaction to reduce leverage, modestly increase portfolio diversity and create additional capacity to invest in compelling new opportunities for the benefit of OBDC shareholders."
Stock Repurchases
On November 4, 2025, the Board approved a $200 million stock repurchase program, for which purchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time in open market transactions. As of December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $148 million of OBDC common stock at 86% of price-to-book value, accretive to net asset value per share in the fourth quarter.
On February 18, 2026 the Board approved a new repurchase program of up to $300 million of the Company's common stock, replacing the prior $200 million authorization.
Asset Sale
Today, certain Blue Owl business development companies announced the opportunistic sale of $1.4 billion of direct lending investments, including $400 million from OBDC, to leading North American public pension and insurance investors. The OBDC investments will be sold at fair value, equivalent to a purchase price of 99.8% of par value as of February 12, 2026. The OBDC investments being sold span 74 portfolio companies across 24 industries, with an average investment size of $5 million. This strategic transaction enhances balance sheet flexibility, modestly increases portfolio diversity and creates additional capacity to deploy capital into attractive, risk-adjusted investment opportunities.
Dividend Declaration
The Board declared a first quarter 2026 regular dividend of $0.37 per share for stockholders of record as of March 31, 2026, payable on or before April 15, 2026.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
Investment Income
Investment income decreased to $448 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $453 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by the impact of lower base rates on floating-rate assets. Income associated with unscheduled paydowns increased to $16.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $11.1 million for the same period in prior quarter due to a higher level of unscheduled repayment related activity. The Company expects that investment income will vary based on a variety of factors including the pace of originations and repayments.
Expenses
Total expenses decreased to $253 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $260 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower operating expenses and the impact of lower base rates on the Company's floating-rate liabilities. As a percentage of total assets, professional fees, directors' fees and other general and administrative expenses decreased slightly period-over-period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $569 million in cash and restricted cash, $9.4 billion in total principal value of debt outstanding, including $3.6 billion of undrawn capacity(1) on the Company's credit facilities and $5.0 billion of unsecured notes. The funding mix was composed of 46.5% secured and 53.5% unsecured borrowings as of December 31, 2025 on an outstanding basis. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities as of December 31, 2025. The Company has analyzed cash and cash equivalents, availability under its credit facilities, the ability to rotate out of certain assets and amounts of unfunded commitments that could be drawn and believes its liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing certain adjusted financial measures, each of which is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP ("non-GAAP"). The Company's management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures to internally analyze and assess financial results and performance. These measures are also considered useful by management as an additional resource for investors to evaluate the Company's ongoing results and trends, as well as its performance, excluding non-cash income or gains related to the OBDE Merger. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.
- "Adjusted Total Investment Income" and "Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share": represents total investment income excluding any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OBDE Merger.
- "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share": represents net investment income, excluding any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OBDE Merger.
- "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)" and "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) Per Share": represents net realized and unrealized gains (losses) excluding any net realized and unrealized gains (losses) resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OBDE Merger.
- "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations" and "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations Per Share": represents the sum of (i) Adjusted Net Investment Income and (ii) Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses).
The OBDE Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues ("ASC 805"). The consideration paid to the stockholders of OBDE was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired other than "non-qualifying" assets, which established a new cost basis for the acquired investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was different than the historical cost basis of the acquired investments prior to the OBDE Merger. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the OBDE Merger, the acquired investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete/amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation/depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete/amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized gain/loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.
The Company's management uses the non-GAAP financial measures described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare its financial results with those of other business development companies that have not adjusted the cost basis of certain investments pursuant to ASC 805. The Company's management believes "Adjusted Total Investment Income", "Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share", "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share" are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to the income resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired in the OBDE Merger because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC (the "Adviser") under the fourth amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") between the Company and the Adviser, and specifically as its relates to "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share". In addition, the Company's management believes that "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)", "Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) Per Share", "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations" and "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations Per Share" are useful to investors as they exclude the non-cash income and gain/loss resulting from the OBDE Merger and are used by management to evaluate the economic earnings of its investment portfolio. Moreover, these metrics more closely align the Company's key financial measures with the calculation of incentive fees payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement (i.e., excluding amounts resulting solely from the lower cost basis of the acquired investments established by ASC 805 that would have been to the benefit of the Adviser absent such exclusion).
