Carlyle Credit Income Fund Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Declares 5.63% Increase to Monthly Common Dividends

New York - Carlyle Credit Income Fund (“we,” “us,” “our,” “CCIF” or the “Fund”) (NYSE: CCIF) today announced its financial results for its first quarter ending December 31, 2023. The full detailed presentation of the Fund’s first quarter 2024 financial results can be viewed on the Fund’s website carlylecreditincomefund.com/investor-dashboard.
Lauren Basmadjian, CCIF’s Chief Executive Officer said, “We are pleased with our results over the past quarter and the completion of the reallocation of the portfolio into equity tranches of CLOs, which is in alignment with Carlyle’s strategy and the fund’s mandate. With the successful deployment of the portfolio, we are increasing the monthly common dividend to 10.5 cents per share. We expect the higher monthly dividend will be fully covered by net investment income. Carlyle remains highly committed to the success of CCIF with a 41% ownership in the Fund.”
Over the past quarter, the Fund has successfully:
•Deployed over $40 million in CLO equity positions with a weighted average GAAP yield of 26%, increasing portfolio weighted average GAAP yield to 20.3% as of December 31, 2023;
•Declared and increased the monthly dividend to 10.5 cents through May 2024, equating to a 15.91% annualized dividend based on share price as of February 28, 2024;
•Leveraged the fund to meet target leverage of 0.25x – 0.40x through the issuance of 8.75% Series A Term Preferred Stock due 2028. CCIF issued $52 million total through the initial issuance of $30 million on October 18, an incremental $2 million through underwriters partially exercising the green shoe, and a $20 million add-on priced on November 21.
Net investment income for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.24 per common share and net asset value per common share was $7.99 on December 31, 2023. Net investment income in the first quarter was suppressed as the Fund did not achieve its target leverage until late November. Proceeds from the preferred offering were deployed through the end of the quarter. The total fair value of investments was $127.3 million as of December 31, 2023.
Dividends
CCIF is declaring a monthly dividend on shares of the Fund’s common stock of $0.1050 per share for March, April, and May 2024. The monthly dividend represents an annualized yield of 15.91% based on closing share price of $7.92 on February 28, 2024.
