Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income

Quarterly Update

Full Deployment Sustained Resulting In Robust Q2 Performance

Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income ("RCOI" or the "Company"), the LSE-listed energy infrastructure and energy-transition credit investor, is pleased to announce a strong portfolio performance for the quarter ended 30 June 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 returns of 8-10%, with current annual dividend yield⁷ of 10%.

Unaudited Net Asset Value

The unaudited net asset value per Ordinary Share, including net revenue, for the quarter ended 30 June 2023, increased by 1.4% to $1.07 ($1.06: 31 March 2023). This increase was principally due to continued strong performance by the unrealised portfolio and the successful refinancing and amendment of the Company's investment in Streamline Innovations Inc.

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

·    37.8% NAV total return⁵ since IPO in May 2019 (33.7% at 31 December 2022)

·    27.6 cents in dividends paid since inception⁶

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. Further, the rebalancing of the portfolio to accredited energy-transition focused investments through green or sustainability linked structures is now complete with the portfolio now consisting entirely of such loans.

·    During Q2 2023, the Company amended and extended its investment in Streamline Innovations and realised c. $2.0 million of profits at closing of the amendment and extension resulting in a 24 percent gross IRR (19 percent net IRR) and a 1.3x gross MOIC (1.2x net MOIC) of the initial investment in Streamline Innovations. As part of this amendment and extension closing, the facility was upsized to $55.0 million, the maturity was extended to December 2026, and economic terms were adjusted for an estimated all-in yield to maturity of 13 percent to RCOI.  RCOI's allocation to the loan was $9.9 million.

·    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 June 2023.  

Reuben Jeffery III, Chairman of RCOI, commented:

"The RCOI portfolio performed strongly in Q2 2023, with the successful refinancing and upsizing of the Company's investment in Streamline Innovations Inc.. 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 return⁵ of 37.8% (33.7% at 31 December 2022) including 27.6 cents per share in dividend distributions⁶."

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 also note that the portfolio now 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 returns of 8-10%, with current annual dividend yield⁷ of 10%."
