AI Summary
SoundPoint Meridian Capital Inc. reported Q4 fiscal 2025 net investment income of $13.4 million (66 cents/share), with a net realized loss of 8 cents/share and dividends paid at 72 cents/share. Net asset value per share fell to $18.78 from $20.52, driven by $32.3 million in unrealized losses due to tariff uncertainties and reduced government spending. The company deployed $70.6 million in six CLO warehouse investments and four CLO equity investments, with a portfolio diversified across 75 CLOs managed by 23 managers, yielding a 14.0% weighted average GAAP yield (down from 15.2%). For the full year, $291.8 million was invested in CLOs, generating $2.22/share in NII against $2.08/share in distributions. A $100 million revolving credit facility and $57.5 million preferred offering bolstered liquidity, while a committed equity financing agreement with B. Riley began in March. Despite market volatility pausing CLO issuance in March, strong Q1 CLO creation ($153 billion) and improved arbitrage from loan price drops position the portfolio for resilience, with monthly distributions of 25 cents/share sustained for Q3 2025.
