Q1 2026 earnings summary4 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Adjusted net investment income for Q1 FY2026 was $36.1M ($0.41/share), with GAAP NII at $36.7M ($0.42/share), both up sequentially, fully covering the $0.40/share dividend declared for the quarter.

  • Net asset value (NAV) per share decreased to $16.30 from $16.64, mainly due to unrealized depreciation, with Pluralsight as a significant detractor.

  • New funded investments totaled $314M–$316.6M, with strong new investment activity and $178.5M–$179M in proceeds from prepayments and exits.

  • Portfolio at fair value was $2.95B, with 86.4%–95.4% in senior secured debt and 9% in subordinated/unsecured debt.

  • Non-accruals were stable at 3.1% of the debt portfolio at fair value, representing 6.5% at cost.

Financial highlights

  • Adjusted total investment income was $74.5M–$75.1M, down from the prior quarter, mainly due to lower interest income and OID acceleration, partially offset by higher fee income.

  • Net leverage ratio increased to 1.07x, with total debt outstanding at $1.6B–$1.62B; weighted average interest rate on debt was 6.1%.

  • Liquidity stood at $576M, including $81M in cash and $495M undrawn on the credit facility.

  • Distributions to stockholders totaled $35.2M ($0.40/share), fully covered by NII.

  • Joint ventures held $511M in investments, generating 12% aggregate ROE, with leverage at 1.7x.

Outlook and guidance

  • Management remains cautiously optimistic, expecting stable or widening spreads in private credit and improvement in middle-market M&A activity.

  • Focus on maintaining target leverage, ample liquidity, and portfolio diversification amid evolving market conditions.

  • Monitoring AI's impact on software and private credit, with expectations of uneven outcomes.

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.
