Manager Outlook

§  Investor sentiment for the energy sector in the third quarter reached its highest level since the IPO. Supply and demand fundamentals continue to improve, with many expecting these trends to continue throughout the rest of 2021. RCOI remains well positioned to capitalise on the increasing market fundamentals through an opportunistic investment approach, made up of a diversified portfolio of short duration loans.

§  Throughout the quarter, RCOI successfully realised its U.S. Shipping Loan which resulted in a 27.7% IRR and 1.13x MOIC. In addition, RCOI capitalized on the market momentum to put in place two new loans for Project Sphere and Blackbuck resources.

§  Despite the strong market environment, the Investment Manager has taken a meaningful write-down with respect to its investment in Caliber Midstream ("Caliber"). The bankruptcy of one of Caliber's key customers has led to a significant reduction in revenue which has resulted in the conversion of the investment from debt to equity.  While Caliber represents the smallest position of RCOI's holdings at ~4%, the investment remains significant across all the pools of capital managed by the Investment Manager, who remains focused on maximizing recovery for investors. 

§  The Investment Manager continues to target infrastructure, infrastructure services and energy transition investment opportunities which will allow for steady income and positive returns for shareholders.

Reuben Jeffery III, Chairman of RCOI, commented:

"With the trend of improving market fundamentals continuing throughout Q3 2021, we are pleased with the performance of the RCOI vehicle. The Company currently has a net asset value per share of $1.02 and has returned approximately 19 cents per share to investors since the IPO.  While the situation at Caliber is disappointing, given the small size of the investment, the overall impact to the portfolio is minimal."

Christopher Abbate and Jamie Brodsky, Co-Founders of Riverstone Credit, added:

"Even with the ongoing challenging circumstances at Caliber, RCOI had another strong quarter.  The portfolio saw another realised investment with a strong return within the targeted market sector, with U.S. Shipping being refinanced in August 2021. In addition, the two new investments for Q3 represented a green loan and a sustainability-linked loan through Project Sphere and Blackbuck Resources, respectively. A green loan has the use of proceeds tied to specific green initiatives while a sustainability-linked loan encourages sustainable behavior by having loan pricing step up if certain targets are not achieved. Our pipeline continues to offer a wide range of similar investments, across infrastructure and infrastructure service-focused companies across conventional and low-carbon/renewable energy sources. We remain focused on continuing to deploy capital across this pipeline as realisations occur."

About Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income Plc:

RCOI seeks to generate consistent Shareholder returns predominantly in the form of income distributions, principally by making senior secured loans to small and middle-market energy companies, which span conventional energy as well as low carbon and renewable sources. The investment strategy is predicated on asset-based lending, with conservative loan-to-value ratios and structural protective features to mitigate risk. The Company will invest broadly across energy subsectors globally, with a primary focus on infrastructure businesses and going forward those with de-carbonization strategies in North America. RCOI intends to create a diversified portfolio across basins, commodities, technologies and end-markets to provide natural synergies and hedges that could enhance the overall stability of the portfolio.
