Frequently asked questions
What is Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp's revenue?
Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp's trailing twelve-month revenue is $298.07M. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is OCSL?
In its most recent fiscal year, OCSL ran a gross margin of 87.21%, an operating margin of 50.39%, and a net margin of 11.32%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does OCSL generate?
OCSL produced $142.40M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is OCSL's balance sheet healthy?
OCSL holds $79.63M in cash and equivalents against — in long-term debt, on $1.47B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
