Oxford Square Capital misses Q2 EPS estimates with $0.05 a share
Oxford Square Capital reported Q2 EPS of $0.05, missing the $0.0612 consensus estimate by 18 percent.
The business development company posted the figures in its quarterly earnings release for the period ended June 30, without providing segment commentary.
Revenue totaled $9.4 million for the quarter. The company did not disclose a revenue consensus estimate or prior-year comparison. Oxford Square Capital, which invests primarily in debt securities of middle-market companies, also did not provide guidance for the current quarter.
The miss narrows the cushion between the BDC's earnings and its distribution. Oxford Square Capital, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker OXSQ, has historically paid a regular quarterly distribution funded by net investment income. A shortfall in earnings relative to the distribution level can force a BDC to draw on undistributed net investment income or reduce the payout.
The shortfall signals weaker investment income from the portfolio during the quarter. Investors will watch the company's next earnings call for updates on net investment income and portfolio credit quality, with the Q3 release expected in late October.
