Total investment income climbed to $345.00 million, up 22.3% from a year ago, reflecting meaningful portfolio expansion to $13.25 billion across 295 companies, but the weighted average yield on performing debt investments narrowed to 10.2% from 11.6% in Q2 2024, weighing on per-share earnings that had stood at $0.89 a year earlier. Net income came in at $155.00 million, or $0.68 per share, pressured further by $21.00 million in net realized and unrealized losses. The $0.77 quarterly dividend remained fully covered by NII, though coverage tightened to 100% from 116% a year ago. Looking ahead, management signaled a disciplined deployment posture while noting the post-quarter expansion of its revolving credit facility to $2.40 billion through August 2030 as a key step in reinforcing funding flexibility.
