The company completed a merger with Logan Ridge, increasing scale and diversification.

Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: PTMN), now rebranded as BCP Investment Corporation (BCIC), reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a mixed performance. The company posted a net investment income of $4.6 million, or $0.50 per share, up from $4.3 million, or $0.47 per share in the first quarter [1]. However, the company's net asset value declined by $8.8 million due to net realized and unrealized losses, and nonaccrual investments and operating expenses increased, raising concerns about the company's financial health.The merger with Logan Ridge Finance, completed in the second quarter, significantly increased the company's scale and diversification. The combined company reported a net investment income of $1.2 million per share, up from $0.35 per share in the first quarter of 2025 [1]. Despite the merger, the company's stock price saw a slight increase of 0.78% to $12.25, suggesting mixed investor sentiment.
Portman Ridge Finance's earnings per share (EPS) of $0.50 missed the forecast of $0.5325 by 6.1%, and revenue of $12.63 million fell short of the anticipated $13.95 million by 9.46% [1]. This marks a notable deviation from previous quarters where the company more closely aligned with analyst projections. The company's gross and net leverage ratios stood at 1.6x and 1.4x, respectively [1].
Looking ahead, the company anticipates increased refinancing activity in the second half of 2025. It is also considering an aggressive stock buyback program and exploring mergers and acquisitions in the business development company (BDC) and closed-end fund sectors [1]. The pro forma net asset value post-merger is projected at $235 million.
