    KBRA Assigns Rating to Blue Owl Capital Corporation's $500 Million Senior Unsecured Notes

    KBRA assigns a rating of BBB+ to Blue Owl Capital Corporation's (NYSE:OBDC, the company", )) $500 million, 6.20% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2030. The Outlook for the rating is Stable.

    Key Credit Considerations

    The rating is supported by OBDC's ties to the $139 billion Blue Owl Credit platform that maintains a strong reputation and leadership position in the private credit market. OBDC's experienced management team that has decades of experience working in the private markets has built a high credit quality direct lending platform to finance mainly sponsor-backed portfolio companies in the upper middle market. Management has implemented a comparatively favorable and comprehensive set of risk management tools to ensure solid liquidity, funding, and asset quality in less favorable markets. The company benefits from SEC exemptive relief to co-invest with other funds managed by Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC (the "Adviser") and its affiliates, as well as the company's diversified $17.7 billion investment with a focus on senior secured first lien loans (77.5%) to mostly upper middle market companies in mainly less cyclical industries as of March 31, 2025. The top three sectors were Internet Software & Services (10.9%), Healthcare Providers & Services (7.6%), and Insurance (7.5%). These sectors are less likely to be directly affected by proposed tariffs. For traditional financing (93.7%), excluding the company's joint ventures and certain investments that fall outside of the typical borrower profile, the weighted average annual EBITDA was $215 million.

    The rating also reflects the company's solid access to debt capital markets along with its comparatively stronger funding profile among KBRA rated BDCs. The already diverse funding profiles of OBDC and other Blue Owl BDCs have been further enhanced in recent periods. Funding sources include significant committed bank lines of credit, CLOs, and cost effective access to the senior unsecured note market. The funding structure provides significant financial flexibility and lower asset encumbrance with an unsecured debt to total debt ratio of 50.2%. The company has comfortable liquidity with ~$2.5 billion of available credit lines and ~$511 million of cash set against $2.64 billion of debt maturing within the next two years. Post quarter-end, the company repaid $142 million of July 2025 notes and this issuance is expected to repay the $500 million of notes coming due also in July 2025. The company's unfunded commitments were ~$1.9 billion, of which a portion is tied to covenants and transactions and is not expected to be drawn. The company's gross and net leverage were 1.33x and 1.26x, respectively, at 1Q25 and at the upper range of the company's net leverage target of 0.9x to 1.25x. KBRA views the company's asset coverage of 175% as adequate, allowing OBDC to absorb increased market volatility and a solid cushion to regulatory minimum of 150% as of 1Q25. Credit quality remains relatively solid with non-accruals as a percentage of total investments at cost and fair value of 1.4% and 0.4%. respectively, as of 1Q25. KBRA believes that OBDC benefits from the company's solid underwriting and focus on portfolio companies in the upper middle market with EBITDA in excess of $100 million.

    The strengths are counterbalanced by the potential industrywide risks related to the company's illiquid investments, an unseasoned investment portfolio with high portfolio growth, retained earnings constraints as a regulated investment company (RIC), and the potential for increased non-accruals with a more uncertain economic environment with high base rates, inflation, and geopolitical risk. KBRA believes that OBDC and other Blue Owl BDCs will remain comparatively resilient.

    Blue Owl Capital Corporation is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act and has elected to be treated as a RIC, which, among other things, must distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of the company's taxable income. The company commenced operations in March 2016 and was publicly listed on the NYSE in July 2019. The company is managed by Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital, Inc. (NYSE:OWL), which had approximately $273 billion of assets under management as of March 31, 2025.

    Rating Sensitivities

    The rating is unlikely to be upgraded in the medium term. A rating downgrade and/or Outlook change to Negative could be considered if there is a significant downturn in the U.S. economy with a greater-than-expected negative impact to OBDC's earnings performance, asset quality, and leverage. A significant change in senior management and/or risk management policies could also lead to negative rating action.
