For Q2 2026, total investment income was $15.2 million, down from $17.6 million in Q1 2026, while expenses were $9.6 million versus $10.7 million in the prior quarter. Net investment income was $5.5 million, or $0.45 per share, down from $6.9 million, or $0.55 per share, and core net investment income was $3.3 million, or $0.27 per share, versus $4.1 million, or $0.33 per share. NAV was $179.5 million, or $14.49 per share, versus $193 million, or $15.60 per share, in Q1. The company also recorded a $10.5 million net realized loss and a $0.4 million realized loss on extinguishment of debt. End-of-quarter borrowings were $286.1 million, and asset coverage was 162%. Forward-looking, management said the Board approved a fourth-quarter 2026 base distribution of $0.27 per share, payable as $0.09 per share monthly in October, November, and December. Management also said the upsized KeyBank facility increased committed capacity from $75 million to $150 million, reduced spreads by 30 basis points during the reinvestment period, and extended the reinvestment period and maturity by 2 years. They did not provide broader quantitative earnings guidance.

Ted Goldthorpe framed the quarter as continued execution on balance-sheet strengthening, portfolio repositioning, and credit cleanup. He emphasized that the company improved asset coverage, reduced refinancing risk, and maintained a monthly dividend framework that can support supplemental distributions when earnings allow. His tone was cautiously constructive, but he repeatedly stressed selectivity, disciplined underwriting, and not relying on a broad M&A recovery.

Brandon Satoren focused on the drivers of the quarter’s financial results: investment income of $15.2 million, expenses of $9.6 million, and net investment income of $5.5 million, or $0.45 per share. He attributed lower income mainly to net repayments and sales, a new non-accrual, and less fee income, while the expense decline was largely due to the absence of performance-based incentive fees. He also highlighted NAV of $14.49 per share, gross and net leverage of 1.6x, total borrowings of $286.1 million, $86 million of available borrowing capacity, and the post-quarter facility amendment that reduced spreads and increased capacity.

Analysts pressed management on whether leverage could be reduced further, and Patrick Schaefer said the company is still above its long-term average and would likely continue to be in a net repayment position, using repayments to reduce leverage. Questions on non-accruals drew a response that several names are in various stages of resolution and that the likely outcome for many is repayment or partial recovery rather than a full reset. Analysts also asked about software marks and AI risk; management said software is less than 13% of the portfolio, most exposure is mission-critical with structural protections, and full IT diligence is used, though AI-related diligence remains an evolving area.
