Supplemental Information Regarding Core Net Investment
Income
We provide information relating to Core NII (a non-GAAP measure)
on a supplemental basis. This measure is not provided as a
substitute for GAAP NII, but in addition to it. Our non-GAAP
measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even
in the event of similar terms being utilized to identify such
measures. Core NII represents GAAP NII adjusted for additional
applicable cash distributions received, or entitled to be received
(if any, in either case), on our CLO equity investments. Oxford
Lane’s management uses this information in its internal analysis of
results and believes that this information may be informative in
assessing the quality of Oxford Lane’s financial performance,
identifying trends in its results and providing meaningful
period-to-period comparisons.
Income from investments in the “equity” class securities of CLO
vehicles, for GAAP purposes, is recorded using the effective
interest method; this is based on an effective yield to the
expected redemption utilizing estimated cash flows, at current
cost, including those CLO equity investments that have not made
their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The
result is an effective yield for the investment in which the
respective investment’s cost basis is adjusted quarterly based on
the difference between the actual cash received, or distributions
entitled to be received, and the effective yield calculation.
Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities
in the GAAP statement of operations differs from the cash
distributions actually received by the Company during the period
(referred to below as “CLO equity adjustments”).
Furthermore, in order for the Company to continue qualifying as
a regulated investment company for tax purposes, we are required,
among other things, to distribute at least 90% of our investment
company taxable income annually. While Core NII may provide a
better indication of our estimated taxable income than GAAP NII
during certain periods, we can offer no assurance that will be the
case, however, as the ultimate tax character of our earnings cannot
be determined until after tax returns are prepared at the close of
a fiscal year. We note that this non-GAAP measure may not serve as
a useful indicator of taxable earnings, particularly during periods
of market disruption and volatility, and, as such, our taxable
income may differ materially from our Core NII.
The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP NII to
Core NII for the three months ended June 30, 2024:
