The primary engine behind the results was robust origination activity, with $220.40 million in gross fundings helping drive net portfolio growth of $70.30 million on a cost basis and pushing total portfolio fair value to $1.79 billion across 155 companies. Credit quality held firm, with non-accrual investments at just 0.9% of the debt portfolio and a stable weighted average risk rating of 2.9. A freshly assigned investment-grade rating from Moody's added an encouraging backdrop, with management noting it should broaden the company's access to capital at more favorable rates. With $216.40 million in available liquidity and continued ATM equity activity into May, CEO Kyle Brown framed Trinity's trajectory around expanding its asset management platform and disciplined portfolio growth amid an uncertain macro environment.
