Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: EIC,
EICA, EICB, EICC) today announced financial results for the quarter
ended September 30, 2024 and certain additional activity through
October 31, 2024.
“We had a strong third quarter as the investment portfolio once
again generated robust cash flows and net investment income,” said
Thomas P. Majewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We were
able to generate realized gains of $0.08 per share as discounted
purchases from the past months pulled to par sooner than
anticipated. As we navigate the shifting interest rate environment,
we believe CLO debt and CLO equity will continue to offer a premium
return compared to other fixed income securities.”
THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
- Net asset value (“NAV”) per common share of $14.90 as of
September 30, 2024, compared to $15.24 as of June 30, 2024.
- Net investment income (“NII”) and realized gains of $0.57 per
weighted average common share.1 This compares to $0.44 of NII and
realized gains per weighted average common share for the quarter
ended June 30, 2024, and $0.38 of NII per weighted average common
share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
- GAAP net income (inclusive of unrealized mark-to-market
depreciation) of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per weighted average common
share.
- Received $13.1 million in recurring cash distributions2 from
the Company’s investment portfolio or $0.76 per weighted average
common share, below the Company’s aggregate distributions on its
common stock and operating costs for the quarter due to new
investments being purchased after their payment date during the
quarter, as well as loan spread compression, which impacted the
Company’s CLO equity portfolio.
- Deployed $90.0 million in net capital into collateralized loan
obligation (“CLO”) debt and equity and other investments.3
- As of September 30, 2024:
- The weighted average effective yield of the Company’s CLO debt
and equity portfolio, based on amortized cost, was 11.86%. This
compares to 13.09% as of June 30, 2024 and 13.27% as of September
30, 2023.4
- Weighted average expected yield of the Company’s portfolio,
based on fair market value, was 12.87%. This compares to 14.41% as
of June 30, 2024 and 17.91% as of September 30, 2023.4
- Issued approximately 2.8 million shares of common stock, 27,966
shares of the Company’s 7.75% Series B Term Preferred Stock due
2028 (the “Series B Term Preferred Stock”) and 255,713 shares of
the Company’s 8.00% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2029 (the
“Series C Term Preferred Stock”) pursuant to the Company’s
“at-the-market” offering and committed equity finance programs for
total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $49.9 million.
The common stock issuance resulted in $0.05 per share of NAV
accretion for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

borrowings from the Company's revolving credit facility and
preferred equity securities which totaled approximately 31.7% of

to approximately 1,451 unique corporate obligors.

underlying the Company’s CLO debt and equity portfolio.
- The top-ten largest look-through obligors together represented
5.4% of the loans underlying the Company’s CLO debt and equity
portfolio.
- GAAP net income was comprised of total investment income of
$12.5 million and net realized gain on investments of $1.3 million,
partially offset by net unrealized appreciation on certain
liabilities recorded at fair value of $3.6 million, net unrealized
depreciation on investments of $5.3 million and financing costs and
operating expenses of $3.9 million.
