Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income
Quarterly Update
Full Deployment Sustained Resulting in Robust Q3 Performance
Targeted annual dividend returns of 8-10% on subscribed capital
Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income ("RCOI" or the "Company"), the
LSE-listed energy infrastructure and energy-transition credit investor, is
pleased to announce a robust portfolio performance for the quarter ended 30
September 2023, in which full deployment in energy transition investments now
means that shareholders will benefit from the portfolio's high earnings power
and targeted annual dividend returns of 8-10% on subscribed capital.
Unaudited Net Asset Value
As at 30 September 2023, the unaudited net asset value per Ordinary Share,
including net revenue for the quarter ended 30 September, stayed stable
at $1.07 ($1.07: 30 June 2023). The stability was due to continued strong
performance by the unrealised portfolio.
Portfolio Summary and Key Performance Indicators
· Portfolio of 100% floating rate, short duration, senior secured loans
supporting RCOI's ambition to deliver annual returns to shareholders of 8-10%
whilst investing in companies engaged in the energy transition
· 39.8% NAV total return(5) since IPO in May 2019 (33.7% at 31 December
2022)
· 29.6 cents in dividends paid since inception(6)
Portfolio Update
· Against a backdrop of strong energy market performance, the global
focus on decarbonisation and the Company's unique focus on short duration
lending, the Company remains extremely well positioned in the current
environment with a portfolio of accredited energy-transition focused
investments entirely through green or sustainability-linked structured loans.
· Based on current portfolio commitments, as well as the addition of
the revolving credit facility in Q4 2022, the Company is nearly fully invested
as of 30 September 2023.
Reuben Jeffery III, Chairman of RCOI, commented:
"The RCOI portfolio performed strongly in Q3 2023. The Company continues to be
a beneficiary of the current interest rate environment with a strategy focused
on floating rate, short duration loans that are designed to capture the
elevated value for our shareholders in the rapidly changing macro environment.
Since launch in May 2019, the Company has now delivered a total NAV return(5)
of 39.8% (33.7% at 31 December 2022) including 29.6 cents per share in
dividend distributions(6)."
Christopher Abbate and Jamie Brodsky, Co-Founders of Riverstone Credit, the
investment adviser, added:
"We continue to be encouraged by the Company's strong performance and its
advantageous positioning in the current environment. In addition to the
attractive financial returns delivered, we would also highlight that the
portfolio consists entirely of Green and Sustainability-Linked loans that
contribute positively towards the energy transition across a wide variety of
applications. The Company's near complete deployment in such investments means
that shareholders will benefit from full exposure to the high earnings power
of the portfolio's energy transition investments, which should further
supplement available income to deliver the targeted annual dividend returns of
8-10% on subscribed capital."
