Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. is a specialty finance company that focuses on providing senior secured loans to middle-market companies, mainly in the United States. The company operates as a business development company and leverages the resources of Sixth Street, a global investment firm.

In its third-quarter 2024 earnings report, Sixth Street Specialty Lending announced a net investment income of $0.59 per share and a net income of $0.44 per share. The company also declared a fourth-quarter base dividend of $0.46 per share and a supplemental dividend of $0.05 per share. These results were achieved despite the challenging higher interest rate environment.

Key financial highlights include an annualized return on equity of 13.7% for net investment income and 10.2% for net income. The company reported a slight decline in net asset value per share to $17.12 from $17.19 in the previous quarter, primarily due to unrealized losses in its investment in Lithium Technologies. Sixth Street Specialty Lending also saw increased investment activity, with $269.3 million in new investment commitments and a significant portion involving non-sponsor transactions.

The company’s financial condition remains strong, with a total investment portfolio valued at $3,441.1 million and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.19x. Looking forward, the company is well-positioned to maintain its dividend policy, supported by its through-the-cycle earnings power. Management remains optimistic about navigating the current financial landscape and continuing to focus on shareholder returns.
