For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company invested $57.0 million across 3 new portfolio companies and several follow-on revolver and delayed draw fundings. During this period, the Company had $36.1 million in aggregate exits, sales and repayments. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company invested $57.5 million across 3 new portfolio companies and several follow-on revolver and delayed draw fundings. For this period, the Company had $92.7 million in aggregate exits, sales and repayments.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, total investment income was $36.3 million, compared to $37.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily driven by lower dividend income from the Company's Logan JV investment and reduced accelerated amortization and prepayment fee income, reflecting lower repayment and refinancing activity during the quarter. These items were partially offset by higher recurring interest income from investments.

Interest income, which includes the amortization of upfront fees, accelerated amortization of original issue discount ("OID") and prepayment fees, increased modestly to $34.7 million from $34.5 million in the prior quarter. Included in interest income was $0.2 million and $0.6 million of accelerated OID amortization related to investment repayments for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

Dividend income decreased to $1.2 million from $3.0 million, primarily reflecting lower distributions from the Company's Logan JV investment. Other income, which includes consent, waiver, amendment, agency, underwriting and arranger fees, was $0.4 million in both periods.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, total net expenses, including income and excise taxes, were $23.2 million and $22.4 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $35.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and $199.6 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. The weighted average cost of debt on the Company's debt outstanding as of June 30, 2026 was 6.13%.

The Company's net debt-to-equity ratio(4) was 1.37x as of June 30, 2026.

Endnotes

 
  Note: Numbers may not sum due to rounding. 
 
  1)  The third special dividend will be paid on December 
       15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of November 
       30, 2026. 
 
  2)  Yield includes performing debt and other income producing 
       investments (excluding investments on non-accrual). 
 
  3)  Unitranche loans are first lien loans that may extend 
       deeper in a company's capital structure than traditional 
       first lien debt and may provide for a waterfall of 
       cash flow priority among different lenders in the 
       unitranche loan. In certain instances, the Company 
       may find another lender to provide the "first out" 
       portion of such loan and retain the "last out" portion 
       of such loan, in which case, the "first out" portion 
       of the loan would generally receive priority with 
       respect to payment of principal, interest and any 
       other amounts due thereunder over the "last out" portion 
       that the Company would continue to hold. In exchange 
       for the greater risk of loss, the "last out" portion 
       earns a higher interest rate. 
 
  4)  Net debt-to-equity represents principal debt outstanding, 
       less cash and cash equivalents, divided by equity.
