Q2 2026 earnings summary5 May, 2026

Executive summary

  • Net asset value (NAV) per share declined to $15.69 from $16.30, driven by realized and unrealized losses, particularly in software investments, and distributions to stockholders.

  • Net investment income was $34.4 million ($0.39/share GAAP, $0.38/share adjusted), down from the prior quarter, reflecting lower investment income and higher expenses.

  • Portfolio at fair value totaled $2.8 billion across 163 companies, with 85%–96% in senior secured debt and 84%–96% first lien.

  • Non-accruals reduced to 2.6% of the debt portfolio at fair value, down from 3.1% last quarter and 4.6% a year ago.

  • Quarterly and supplemental distributions of $0.34 per share were declared, payable June 30, 2026.

Financial highlights

  • Total investment income for Q2 2026 was $70.4 million (GAAP), down from $75.1 million in the prior quarter, mainly due to lower reference rates and reduced non-recurring income.

  • Adjusted net investment income was $33.7 million ($0.38/share), down from $36.1 million ($0.41/share) in the prior quarter.

  • Net realized and unrealized losses, net of taxes, were $(0.60) per share, a larger loss than the prior quarter.

Outlook and guidance

  • Management expects continued progress reducing non-accruals and redeploying proceeds into performing assets.

  • Sufficient liquidity and capital resources are available to invest in market opportunities as they arise.

  • Forward-looking risks include inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical events, but the middle market offers attractive risk-adjusted returns.

  • Plan to maintain leverage toward the mid to low end of the 0.9x–1.25x target range.

  • Dividend adjusted to $0.34 per share for the quarter, reflecting a conservative leverage approach.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
