The headline driver was a sharp swing in unrealized gains, as the business development company recorded $45.04 million in net unrealized gains compared to net unrealized losses of $9.49 million in the year-ago quarter, lifting net income to $59.00 million, or $0.63 per share. That improvement came despite total investment income declining to $115.02 million from $121.81 million a year ago, a compression largely attributed to lower reference rates pulling the portfolio's weighted average yield to 11.7% from 13.8%. Net asset value per share edged up to $17.17 from $17.04 at quarter-end March 2025, and non-accrual investments fell to 0.6% of portfolio fair value, while the board declared a $0.46 base dividend and a $0.05 supplemental dividend for the coming quarter.
Key Takeaways
- • Lower interest rates reduced investment income but also reduced net expenses on debt outstanding
- • Higher activity-based fee income partially offset interest rate declines
- • Net unrealized gains of $45.0 million from investments drove net income growth
- • Restructuring of Lithium Technologies reduced non-accrual investments from 1.2% to 0.6% of portfolio fair value
- • Continued overearning of base quarterly dividend supported NAV per share growth
