Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. Announces March 31, 2026 Financial Results

NEW YORK, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. (NYSE: OTF) ("OTF" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

FIRST QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

  • First quarter GAAP net investment income ("NII") per share of $0.37
  • First quarter adjusted NII per share of $0.29(1)
  • Dividends declared for the second quarter were $0.40 per share, including a base dividend of $0.35 per share and a special dividend of $0.05 per share declared in connection with the listing
  • Net asset value per share decreased to $16.49, as compared with $17.33 last quarter, primarily driven by unrealized losses from the impact of credit spread widening on the portfolio
  • New investment commitments for the first quarter were $1.7 billion and sales and repayments were $1.1 billion, as compared with $2.3 billion of new investment commitments and $0.9 billion of sales and repayments for the three months ended December 31, 2025
  • Net debt-to-equity ended at 0.85x, as compared with 0.75x as of December 31, 2025
  • Investments on non-accrual represented 0.3% and 0.1% of the portfolio at cost and fair value, respectively, as compared with 0.4% and 0.2% as of December 31, 2025
  • OTF repurchased approximately $50.2 million of OTF common stock, which was accretive to net asset value per share in the first quarter
  • Approximately 80% of each pre-listing shareholder's position has been released from lock-up, with two remaining releases scheduled in equal tranches of approximately 10.6% each month until June 12, 2026

"First quarter volatility in technology markets drove meaningful spread widening and pressured valuations across OTF's portfolio, reflecting broader market dynamics rather than underlying credit trends," said Craig W. Packer, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see solid credit performance across our portfolio of durable, mission-critical businesses with many already taking steps to adapt to the evolving AI environment. With over $2 billion of available liquidity, we believe the current dislocation is creating a more attractive opportunity set, allowing us to remain selective as we deploy capital, ramp leverage and support ROE expansion over time."

Stock Repurchases
On February 17, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a $300 million stock repurchase program, under which purchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time in open-market transactions, replacing the prior $200 million authorization. As of March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately $50.2 million of OTF common stock, accretive to net asset value per share in the first quarter, with approximately $250 million remaining under its share repurchase program.

Dividend Declarations
The Board declared a second quarter 2026 base dividend of $0.35 per share for stockholders of record as of June 30, 2026, payable on or before July 15, 2026.

As previously announced, the Board also declared a series of five special dividends of $0.05 per share. A full schedule of the record and payment dates can be found on the Company's website at www.blueowltechnologyfinance.com.

Lock-Up Release Schedule
On November 4, 2025, the Board approved an amended lock-up release schedule that applies to shares currently subject to transfer restrictions. Under the new schedule, approximately 10.6% of these shares of the Company's common stock continue to be released each month until June 12, 2026.

As of today, approximately 80% of each shareholder's position has been released from lock-up. The remaining shares still subject to transfer restrictions will be released in accordance with the following schedule:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Investment Income
Investment income modestly increased to $326 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $321 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by increased interest income from an increase in portfolio size driven by net fundings during the period, partially offset by the impact of lower base rates on floating-rate assets. Other income remained relatively consistent period-over-period. The Company expects that investment income will vary based on a variety of factors including the pace of originations and repayments.

Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased to $153 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $195 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to a reversal of capital gains incentive fees from mark-to-market movement, while interest expense stayed stable as lower base rates lowered the average cost of debt for financing costs related to credit facilities offset by a higher average outstanding debt balance. As a percentage of total assets, professional fees, directors' fees and other general and administrative expenses, excluding listing advisory fees, remained relatively consistent period-over-period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $488 million in cash, $7.0 billion in total principal value of debt outstanding, including $2.5 billion of unsecured notes and $1.8 billion of undrawn capacity(1) on the Company's credit facilities. The funding mix was composed of 64.2% secured and 35.8% unsecured borrowings as of March 31, 2026 on an outstanding basis. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit facilities as of March 31, 2026. The Company has analyzed cash and cash equivalents, availability under its credit facilities, the ability to rotate out of certain assets and amounts of unfunded commitments that could be drawn and believes its liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing certain adjusted financial measures, each of which is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP ("non-GAAP"). The Company's management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures to internally analyze and assess financial results and performance. These measures are also considered useful by management as an additional resource for investors to evaluate the Company's ongoing results and trends, as well as its performance, excluding non-cash income and expenses. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.

  • "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share": represent net investment income, excluding any change in capital gains incentive fees accrued but not payable. These fees are related to cumulative unrealized gains in excess of cumulative net realized gains less any cumulative unrealized losses, less capital gains incentive fees paid inception to date.
  • "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations" and "Adjusted Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations Per Share": represent net income, excluding any change in capital gains incentive fees accrued but not payable.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income (the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure) to adjusted net investment income for the periods presented:
