For Immediate Release

NEW YORK, NY, May 8, 2025 — CION Investment Corporation (NYSE: CION) ("CION" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 and filed its Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

CION also announced that, on May 5, 2025, its co-chief executive officers declared a second quarter 2025 base distribution of \$0.36 per share, payable on June 16, 2025 to shareholders of record as of June 2, 2025.

FIRST QUARTER AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

  • · Net investment income and earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 were \$0.36 per share and \$(0.80) per share, respectively;
  • · Net asset value per share was \$14.28 as of March 31, 2025 compared to \$15.43 as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of \$1.15 per share, or 7.5%. The decrease was primarily due to mark-to-market price declines to the Company's portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2025;
  • · As of March 31, 2025, the Company had \$1.12 billion of total principal amount of debt outstanding, of which 38% was comprised of senior secured bank debt and 62% was comprised of unsecured debt. The Company's net debt-to-equity ratio was 1.39x as of March 31, 2025 compared to 1.27x as of December 31, 2024;
  • · As of March 31, 2025, the Company had total investments at fair value of \$1.79 billion in 104 portfolio companies across 24 industries. The investment portfolio was comprised of 87.0% senior secured loans, including 86.9% in first lien investments;1
  • · During the quarter, the Company funded new investment commitments of \$55 million, funded previously unfunded commitments of \$10 million, and had sales and repayments totaling \$49 million, resulting in a net increase to the Company's funded portfolio of \$16 million;
  • · As of March 31, 2025, investments on non-accrual status amounted to 1.20% and 3.16% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, which are down from 1.41% and 3.22%, respectively, as of December 31, 2024;
  • · During the quarter, the Company repurchased 185,862 shares of its common stock under its 10b5-1 trading plan at an average price of \$11.68 per share for a total repurchase amount of \$2.2 million. Through March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 3,955,033 shares of its common stock under its 10b5-1 trading plan at an average price of \$10.23 per share for a total repurchase amount of \$40.5 million; and
  • · On February 13, 2025, the Company terminated its existing senior secured repurchase facility with UBS AG ("UBS") and simultaneously entered into a new 3-year, \$125 million senior secured credit facility with UBS, under which the floating interest rate payable by the Company on all advances was reduced by 0.45% per year, from the three-month SOFR plus a credit spread of 3.20% per year to SOFR plus a credit spread of 2.75% per year.

DISTRIBUTIONS

· For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company declared a quarterly base distribution totaling \$19.1 million, or \$0.36 per share, paid on April 11, 2025 to shareholders of record as of March 28, 2025.

Mark Gatto, co-Chief Executive Officer of CION, commented:

"As we think about this environment, we continue to see opportunities on the direct lending side both in our existing portfolio as well as new transactions, but remain highly selective given our investment capacity and broader market trends. We believe CION's dynamic and differentiated investment approach, which we outlined in great detail at our investor day last quarter, allows CION to flex into wherever we see the greatest risk-adjusted returns while still preserving our conservative first lien focus in the middle market."

Total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was \$56.1 million and \$57.9 million, respectively. The decrease in total investment income was primarily driven by lower transaction fees earned from origination and amendment activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were \$36.8 million and \$39.2 million, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by lower interest expense on our borrowings due to lower SOFR rates during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

ENDNOTES

  • 1) The discussion of the investment portfolio excludes short-term investments.
  • 2) Total debt outstanding excludes netting of debt issuance costs of \$17.6 million and \$18.2 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
  • 3) The fixed versus floating composition has been calculated as a percentage of performing debt investments measured on a fair value basis, including income producing preferred stock investments and excludes investments, if any, on non-accrual status.
  • 4) Computed based on the (a) annual actual interest rate or yield earned plus amortization of fees and discounts on the performing debt and other income producing investments as of the reporting date, divided by (b) the total performing debt and other income producing investments (excluding investments on non-accrual status) at amortized cost. This calculation excludes exit fees that are receivable upon repayment of the investment.
  • 5) For a particular portfolio company, the Company calculates the level of contractual indebtedness net of cash ("net debt") owed by the portfolio company and compares that amount to measures of cash flow available to service the net debt. To calculate net debt, the Company includes debt that is both senior and pari passu to the tranche of debt owned by it but excludes debt that is legally and contractually subordinated in ranking to the debt owned by the Company. The Company believes this calculation method assists in describing the risk of its portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration contractual rights of repayment of the tranche of debt owned by the Company relative to other senior and junior creditors of a portfolio company. The Company typically calculates cash flow available for debt service at a portfolio company by taking EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period. Weighted average net debt to EBITDA is weighted based on the fair value of the Company's performing debt investments and excluding investments where net debt to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.

For a particular portfolio company, the Company also calculates the level of contractual interest expense owed by the portfolio company and compares that amount to EBITDA ("interest coverage ratio"). The Company believes this calculation method assists in describing the risk of its portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration contractual interest obligations of the portfolio company. Weighted average interest coverage is weighted based on the fair value of the Company's performing debt investments, and excludes investments where interest coverage may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.

Portfolio company statistics, including EBITDA, are derived from the financial statements most recently provided to the Company for each portfolio company as of the reported end date. Statistics of the portfolio companies have not been independently verified by the Company and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount.

6) Median EBITDA is calculated based on the portfolio company's EBITDA as of the Company's initial investment.
