Revenue climbed to $63.50 million, up 81.4% year over year, yet the headline figure masked a central tension: the company's share count swelled to 99.2 million from 77.6 million a year earlier, compressing per-share returns even as total net investment income grew. The portfolio itself expanded to $2.40 billion across 155 companies, though the weighted average yield on debt investments slipped to 10.4% from 11.5% a year ago, reflecting the broader rate environment. Net asset value per share declined to $10.96 from $11.31 at September 30, 2024, and shares have shed roughly 3.9% year-to-date. Looking ahead, management expressed confidence that the newly formed PSSL II joint venture with Hamilton Lane, targeting a $500 million portfolio, will begin deploying capital in late September or early October and help drive net investment income growth sufficient to sustain the $0.31 quarterly distribution.
