    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Portman Ridge Finance Corporation Announces

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Reports Net Investment Income of $0.47 Per Share and Net Asset Value of $18.85 Per Share

    Deployment of Approximately $17.5 Million and Sales and Repayments of Approximately $15.7 Million for Net Deployment of Approximately $1.8 Million

    Announces Second Quarter 2025 Quarterly Base Distribution of $0.47 Per Share

    Investors are Encouraged to Vote FOR the Acquisition of Logan Ridge Finance Corporation

    NEW YORK, May 8, 2025 (GLOBAL NEWSWIRE) – Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (Nasdaq: PTMN) (the “Company” or “Portman Ridge”) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 Highlights

     

      •  

    Total investment income for the first quarter of 2025 was $12.1 million, down from $14.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, due to the reversal of previously accrued income after a portfolio company was placed on non-accrual status in the first quarter of 2025.

     

      •  

    Core investment income1, excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, for the first quarter of 2025 was $12.1 million, as compared to $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

     

      •  

    Net investment income (“NII”) for the first quarter of 2025 was $4.3 million ($0.47 per share), inclusive of the reversal of $0.4 million ($0.05 per share) of previously accrued interest income on a loan that was placed on non-accrual in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $5.5 million ($0.60 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2024.

     

      •  

    Net asset value (“NAV”), as of March 31, 2025, was $173.5 million ($18.85 per share), as compared to NAV of $178.5 million ($19.41 per share) as of December 31, 2024.

     
    1 

    Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase discount accretion in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”) and Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) mergers. Portman Ridge believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial performance.


      •  

    Deployments of approximately $17.5 million and sales and repayments of approximately $15.7 million, resulting in net deployments of approximately $1.8 million.

    Subsequent Events

     

      •  

    On May 8, 2025, the Company declared a regular quarterly base distribution of $0.47 per share of common stock. The distribution is payable on May 29, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2025.

    Management Commentary

    Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Portman Ridge, stated, “During the first quarter we continued to execute on our disciplined investment strategy, deploying approximately $17.5 million into strong, defensively positioned portfolio companies. Concurrently, we had $15.7 million in repayments and sales, resulting in our return to net deployers of capital.

    Looking ahead, the current macroeconomic backdrop shaped by shifting trade dynamics, inflation, and ever-evolving monetary policy, continues to drive uncertainty in the market. These dynamics highlight the importance of taking a long-term approach, grounded in disciplined credit selection and prudent risk management. That said, we view this as an opportunity to further differentiate through thoughtful deployment and rigorous underwriting, backed by our prudent investment strategy and experienced management team. I remain confident in our ability to drive the best outcome for shareholders.

    Finally, we continue to believe in the strategic benefits the combination with Logan Ridge will provide. This merger represents a meaningful step forward for the Company, with the potential to provide increased scale, improved liquidity, and greater operational efficiency, all of which are critical to enhancing long-term shareholder value. We encourage shareholders to vote FOR the proposed merger, as recommended by the Board of Directors of both companies. We are excited about the road ahead and look forward to sharing more updates soon.”

This compares to total investment income of $16.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, of which $14.2 million was attributable to interest income, inclusive of payment-in-kind income, from the Debt Securities Portfolio.

     

      •  

    Core investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, excluding the impact of purchase discount accretion, was $12.1 million, as compared to core investment income of $16.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

     

      •  

    Net investment income (“NII”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $4.3 million ($0.47 per share) as compared to $6.2 million ($0.67 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

     

      •  

    Net asset value (“NAV”) as of March 31, 2025, was $173.5 million ($18.85 per share), as compared to $178.5 million ($19.41 per share) for the fourth quarter of 2024.

     

      •  

    Deployment during the quarter was strong, with deployments of approximately $17.5 million and sales and repayments of approximately $15.7 million, resulting in net deployment of approximately $1.8 million.

     

      •  

    Investment portfolio at fair value as of March 31, 2025, was $406.4 million, comprised of 93 different portfolio companies. Our debt investment portfolio, excluding our investments in the CLO Funds, equities and Joint Ventures, totaled $324.8 million at fair value as of March 31, 2025, and was spread across 24 different industries comprised of 72 different portfolio companies with an average par balance per entity of approximately $2.6 million. This compares to a total investment portfolio at fair value as of December 31, 2024, of $405.0 million, comprised of 93 different portfolio companies. Our debt investment portfolio, excluding our investments in the CLO Funds, equities and Joint Ventures, totaled $320.7 million at fair value as of December 31, 2024, spread across 26 different industries and comprised of 71 different portfolio companies, with an average par balance per entity of approximately $2.5 million.

     

      •  

    Debt investments on non-accrual, as of March 31, 2025, were six, representing 2.6% and 4.7% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively. This compares to six debt investments representing 1.7% and 3.4% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

     

      •  

    Weighted average annualized yield was approximately 11.0% (excluding income from non-accruals and collateralized loan obligations) as of March 31, 2025.

     

      •  

    Par value of outstanding borrowings, as of March 31, 2025, was $255.4 million, as compared to $267.5 million as of December 31, 2024, with an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of 168% and 167%, respectively. On a net basis, leverage as of March 31, 2025, was 1.3x2 compared to 1.3x2 as of December 31, 2024.

     
    2 

    Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. Portman Ridge believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $23.5 million and $40.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Portman Ridge’s financial condition.

    As of March 31, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash of $9.2 million and restricted cash of $14.3 million. This compares to unrestricted cash of $17.5 million and restricted cash of $22.4 million as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $52.6 million of available borrowing capacity under the JPM Credit Facility.

    Interest Rate Risk

    The Company’s investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including SOFR and prime rates.

    As of March 31, 2025, approximately 88.5% of our Debt Securities Portfolio at par value were either floating rate with a spread to an interest rate index such as SOFR or the PRIME rate. 84.2% of these floating rate loans contain floors ranging between 0.50% and 5.25%. We generally expect that future portfolio investments will predominately be floating rate investments.

    In periods of rising or lowering interest rates, the cost of the portion of debt associated with the 4.875% Notes Due 2026 would remain the same, given that this debt is at a fixed rate, while the interest rate on borrowings under the JPM Credit Facility would fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

    Generally, the Company would expect that an increase in the base rate index for floating rate investment assets would increase gross investment income and a decrease in the base rate index for such assets would decrease gross investment income (in either case, such increase/decrease may be limited by interest rate floors/minimums for certain investment assets).
