Net asset value climbed to a record $32.03 per share, up from $31.65 at year-end 2024, buoyed by $63.20 million in net unrealized appreciation that more than offset a $29.50 million net realized loss from middle market exits and restructurings. The company's annualized return on equity stood at 16.5% for the quarter and 19.3% on a trailing twelve-month basis, reflecting the durability of its business development model. For shareholders focused on income generation, the company declared its fifteenth consecutive quarterly supplemental dividend alongside regular monthly payments of $0.25 per share, bringing total Q1 dividends paid to $1.05 per share, a 2.9% year-over-year increase. Liquidity remained robust at $1.30 billion.

Key Takeaways

  • • Net unrealized appreciation of $63.2 million on portfolio investments in Q1 2025

“We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter, which resulted in another quarter of strong operating results highlighted by an annualized return on equity of 16.5%, favorable levels of net investment income per share and distributable net investment income per share and another record net asset value per share driven by significant unrealized appreciation on our lower middle market portfolio investments. We are also very pleased to have completed the listing of MSC Income Fund's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange in January 2025, which was the result of our long-term strategy efforts related to the fund and we believe provides the opportunity for significant future benefits to both the fund's shareholders and our Asset Management Business. We believe that these continued strong results demonstrate the sustainable strength of our overall platform, the benefits of our differentiated and diversified investment strategies, the unique contributions of our asset management business and the continued underlying strength and quality of our portfolio companies.”
