Silver Spike Investment Corp. (“Silver Spike” or the “Company”), a specialty finance company that was formed to invest across the cannabis ecosystem through investments in the form of direct loans to, and equity ownership of, privately held cannabis companies, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights1

  • Total investment income of $0.8 million
  • Net investment income of $0.2 million, or $0.04 per share
  • Funded $24.4 million of loans to 2 new portfolio companies
  • Investment portfolio of $24.4 million at fair value
  • Net asset value (“NAV”) per share increased to $13.64 on June 30, 2022 from $13.61 on March 31, 2022

Scott Gordon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Spike Investment Corp., commented, “During the quarter, we deployed $24.4 million across two new portfolio companies. As we announced on June 2, 2022, during the quarter we co-led a term loan of up to $170 million to Shryne Group Inc., one of the largest private cannabis companies globally and the owner of Stiiizy, a leading cannabis brand.

Subsequent to the Shryne transaction, we participated in a loan to one of the industry’s largest US-based privately-owned multi-state cannabis companies.

During the quarter, our NAV per share increased from $13.61 on March 31, 2022, to $13.64 on June 30, 2022.

We continue leveraging our platform’s direct origination engine to build a robust pipeline of attractive lending opportunities. Our rigorous underwriting standards and time-tested specialized structuring skills position Silver Spike as one of the leading providers of credit to a regulatorily complex and rapidly-growing industry with little access to traditional sources of capital.”
