    NEW YORK, Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” “CSL” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CGBD) today announced its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The full detailed presentation of CSL’s third quarter 2023 results can be viewed here.

    Aren LeeKong, CSL’s Chief Executive Officer said, “In the face of broader market volatility, we are pleased to see our disciplined and intentional approach to credit underwriting and portfolio management produce another quarter of solid income generation accompanied by an increase in NAV. While market demand for private credit remains high, we have not wavered in our focus on differentiated direct lending opportunities, sourced using the breadth and scope of the OneCarlyle platform. Equally as important, we have maintained our conservative approach to risk management, continuing to run a well-diversified portfolio at the low-end of our target leverage range.”

    Net investment income for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.52 per common share, and net asset value per common share increased by 0.8% for the third quarter to $16.86 from $16.73 as of June 30, 2023. The total fair value of our investments was $1.9 billion as of September 30, 2023.
