Key Financial Trends
Over the past two years, Saratoga Investment Corp. (NYSE: SAR) has shown significant fluctuations in its financial performance, with recent quarters especially strong in terms of net income, revenue, and cash flows.
Positive trends:
- In Q3 2025, SAR reported robust net income continuing operations of approximately $82.19 million, a strong result compared to prior quarters.
- Total revenue for Q3 2025 was around $47.78 million, boosted by $19.7 million in net realized and unrealized capital gains on investments and $21.3 million in total non-interest income.
- Net cash from continuing operating activities in Q3 2025 rose significantly to $94.16 million, signaling excellent cash generation from core business operations.
- Total assets have steadily increased from about $974 million in Q2 2023 to nearly $1.22 billion by Q3 2025, demonstrating asset growth and expansion.
- SAR consistently generated positive net interest income in most quarters, such as $26.46 million in Q3 2025, showing effective interest margin management after deducting interest expenses.
- There has been steady common equity growth, rising from approximately $337 million in Q2 2023 to about $375 million in Q3 2025, supporting an improving balance sheet.
- Diluted earnings per share have been positive in recent quarters, with $0.64 in Q3 2025, suggesting profitability on a per-share basis.
Neutral observations:
- Long-term debt remains quite high at roughly $1.36 billion as of Q3 2025, which provides leverage but also entails interest expense of around $13 million in recent quarters.
- SAR pays dividends regularly, with payments around $8.96 million in Q3 2025, reflecting shareholder returns but also cash outflows.
- Cash and cash equivalents showed significant increases, reaching about $147.6 million in Q3 2025, enhancing liquidity.
Negative factors worth noting:
- SAR had challenged quarters earlier, including a negative net interest income in some quarters of 2024 such as Q2 2025, indicating periods of lower interest revenue or higher interest expense.
- Net realized and unrealized capital gains have been volatile; for example, a large negative capital gains amount of -$176.7 million in Q4 2024 significantly reduced total non-interest income in that period.
- Total non-interest expense surged unusually high in Q4 2024 ($34.3 million), which depressed pre-tax income and net income substantially for that quarter.
- Certain quarters experienced negative net cash flows from continuing operating activities, such as Q1 2024 with a substantial outflow exceeding $110 million.
- Fluctuating earnings per share, including occasional negative EPS (e.g., -$0.31 in Q3 2024), indicate variable profitability that may pose risks to consistency.
In summary, Saratoga Investment Corp. has demonstrated a recovery and growth trajectory after some quarters of volatility and losses.
