    Declares Third Quarter 2024 Base Dividend of $0.42 Per Share with Supplemental Dividend Expected to be Announced in September

    Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc. (NYSE:PSBD) ("PSBD" or the "Company"), an externally managed business development company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    • Total net realized and unrealized losses of $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to gains of $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2023
    • As of June 30, 2024, total assets were $1.5 billion and total net assets were $549 million

    "Palmer Square Capital BDC reported strong second quarter results, continuing to demonstrate the power of our differentiated liquid loan strategy that enables us to capitalize on market dislocations across the syndicated and private credit markets," said Christopher D. Long, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PSBD. "PSBD remains well-positioned for upside in this dynamic operating environment. Given our team's experience across cycles, and the potential for some near-term volatility with macro and political uncertainty, our team is excited to continue demonstrate the benefits of our liquid strategy to generate long-term shareholder value."

    Portfolio and Investment Activity

    As of June 30, 2024, we had 256 investments in 209 portfolio companies with an aggregate fair value of approximately $1.4 billion. Based on a total fair value of $1.4 billion, including short term investments, the portfolio consisted of 85.7% first lien senior secured debt investments, 6.1% second lien senior secured debt investments, 0.6% corporate bond investments, 3.2% collateralized loan obligation structured credit funds ("CLOs") mezzanine and equity investments, and 4.4% short-term investments.

    As of June 30, 2024, 98% of the long-term investments based on fair value in our portfolio were at floating rates. At the end of the second quarter, all debt and short-term investments were income producing, and there were no loans on non-accrual status. As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average total yield to maturity of debt and income producing securities at fair value was 9.82%, and weighted average total yield to maturity of debt and income producing securities at amortized cost was 8.80%. For the second quarter of 2024, the principal amount of new investments funded was $189.3 million which included 24 investments at an average value of approximately $5.6 million. For this period, the Company had $140.0 million aggregate principal amount in sales and repayments.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $14.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $820.4 million in total aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding. Subject to borrowing base and other restrictions, the Company had available liquidity, consisting of cash and undrawn capacity on credit facilities of approximately $192.0 million compared to $30.0 million of undrawn investment commitments as of June 30, 2024.

    Other Highlights

    On May 23, 2024, PSBD, along with Bank of America as arranging partner, closed Palmer Square BDC CLO I, a $400.5 million CLO secured by broadly syndicated loans held by PSBD. The CLO has a reinvestment period through 2029 and matures in 2037, with flexibility to refinance if spreads tighten in the future.

    PSBD's loan to ConvergeOne was moved to non-accrual status in April 2024, and PSBD subsequently worked with the company to restructure the loan before quarter end. The majority of the loan was converted to equity, and PSBD recorded a realized loss in the month of June.

    Recent Developments

    On August 8, 2024, PSBD's Board of Directors announced that it had declared a third quarter regular base dividend distribution of $0.42 per share payable on October 14, 2024, to shareholders of record as of September 27, 2024. We expect to announce an additional quarterly supplemental dividend distribution for the third quarter of 2024 in September.

    (1)

    New CLO equity investments do not have an ascribed interest rate and are therefore excluded from the calculation.

    (2)

    Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either a) LIBOR (which can include one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR) or b) the CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "S") (which can include one-, three-, or six-month SOFR), which resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement. At the borrower's option, loans may instead reference an alternate base rate (which can include the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Prime Rate), which also resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreements. Loans that reference SOFR may include a Credit Spread Adjustment ("CSA"), where the CSA is a defined additional spread amount based on the tenor of SOFR the borrower selects (making the reference rate S+CSA).
