About this update from Blue Owl Capital Inc.

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 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:   PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION As of March 31, 2026, the Company had investments in 203 portfolio companies across 37 industries, with an aggregate portfolio size of $14.1 billion at fair value and an average investment size of $69.3 million at fair value.   PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY For the three months ended March 31, 2026, new investment commitments totaled $1.7 billion across 14 new portfolio companies and 12 existing portfolio companies. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, new investment commitments were $2.3 billion across 25 new portfolio companies and 15 existing portfolio companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the principal amount of new investments funded totaled $1.3 billion and aggregate principal amount of sales and repayments was $1.1 billion. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the principal amount of new investments funded totaled $1.7 billion and aggregate principal amount of sales and repayments was $0.9 billion. 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.
