Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Declares Fourth Quarter 2025 Common and Preferred Distributions

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE:ECC, ECCC, ECC PRD, ECCF, ECCU, ECCV, ECCW, ECCX)) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and certain additional activity through July 31, 2025, and declared distributions on shares of the Company's common and preferred stock.

"We took advantage of the market dislocation in the second quarter to acquire discounted CLO equity investments that will enhance the Company's returns over the long-term," said Thomas P. Majewski, Chief Executive Officer. "Despite the dislocation, recurring cash flows from our portfolio remained robust during the quarter, comfortably exceeding our distributions and operating expenses."

"Looking forward, we remain focused on lengthening our weighted average remaining reinvestment period, maintaining strong recurring cash flows and deploying capital opportunistically to further enhance net investment income over time," concluded Mr. Majewski.
