These fees were accrued in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), where such amounts were not contractually due under the terms of the investment advisory agreement for the respective periods. Also see discussion under Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Adjusted Net Investment Income below. |
(B) | See Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Adjusted Net Investment Income, below, for a description of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation from Net investment income to Adjusted net investment income, including on a weighted-average per share basis.

Highlights for the Quarter: During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the following significant events occurred:
Portfolio Activity:
In January 2025, we restructured our investment in PSI Molded Plastics, Inc. As a result of the restructuring, we converted debt with a cost basis of $16.4 million into preferred equity.
In February 2025, we invested an additional $3.0 million through secured first lien debt in Pyrotek Special Effects, Inc. to fund an add-on acquisition.
In February 2025, we recapitalized our existing investment in Educators Resource, Inc. and invested an additional $10.0 million in the form of secured first lien debt. In connection with this recapitalization, we received dividend income of $1.8 million.
In March 2025, we exited our investment in Nocturne Luxury Villas, Inc. ("Nocturne"), which resulted in success fee income of $3.5 million, a realized gain on our preferred equity of $19.8 million and the repayment of our debt investment of $85.6 million at par.
Distributions and Dividends:
Paid an $0.08 per common share distribution to common stockholders in each of January, February, and March 2025.
Financing Activity:
Amended our credit facility, increasing the size from $200.0 million to $270.0 million.
Fourth Quarter Results: Net investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $7.2 million, or $0.20 per weighted-average common share, compared to net investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per weighted-average common share. This change was a result of an increase in total investment income, partially offset by an increase in total expenses, net of credits, quarter over quarter.
Total investment income for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $27.5 million and $21.4 million, respectively. The quarter over quarter increase was primarily due to a $5.2 million increase in dividend and success fee income, the timing of which can be variable, as well as a $0.9 million increase in interest income, primarily due to an increase in the weighted-average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio outstanding.
Total expenses, net of credits, for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $20.3 million and $20.2 million, respectively. The slight increase quarter over quarter was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in interest expense primarily due to the 7.875% 2030 Notes issued in December 2024, a $1.9 million decrease in credits from Adviser, a $0.5 million increase in income-based incentive fees and a $0.5 million increase in bad debt expense. These amounts were partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease in the capital gains-based incentive fees in the current quarter, as a result of the net impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses.
Net asset value per common share as of March 31, 2025 was $13.55 compared to $13.30 as of December 31, 2024. The quarter over quarter increase was primarily due to $20.9 million, or $0.57 per common share, of realized gains on investments and $7.2 million, or $0.20 per common share, of net investment income. These increases were partially offset by $10.2 million, or $0.28 per common share, of net unrealized depreciation of investments and $8.8 million, or $0.24 per common share, of distributions paid to common stockholders. The net unrealized depreciation of investments was a result of $24.3 million, or $0.66 per common share, reversal of the unrealized appreciation on the exit of Nocturne and $14.1 million, or $0.38 per common share, of unrealized appreciation of investments.
Highlights for the Year: During the year ended March 31, 2025, the following significant events occurred:
Portfolio Activity:
Invested $178.8 million in four new portfolio companies, through a combination of secured first lien debt, preferred equity and common equity;
Exited our investments in two portfolio companies, which resulted in success fee income of $3.6 million, repayment of our debt of $110.6 million at par, and realized gains of $63.2 million, in the aggregate;
Recapitalized our investment in one portfolio company, investing an additional $10.0 million in the form of secured first lien debt. In connection with this recapitalization, we received dividend income of $1.8 million; and
In addition to amounts invested in conjunction with the recapitalization discussed above, invested an aggregate of $21.9 million in various existing portfolio companies to fund add-on acquisitions, through secured first lien debt and secured second lien debt.
Distributions and Dividends:
Paid an $0.08 per common share distribution to common stockholders each month from April 2024 through March 2025; and
Paid a $0.70 per common share supplemental distribution to common stockholders in October 2024.
At-the-market ("ATM") program activity:
Sold 148,714 shares of our common stock under our common stock ATM program at a weighted-average gross price of $13.64 per share and raised approximately $2.0 million in net proceeds. These sales were above our then-current estimated NAV per share.
Financing Activities:
Amended our credit facility, increasing the size from $200.0 million to $270.0 million.
Issued publicly-traded 7.875% Notes due 2030 (Nasdaq: GAINI) ("7.875% 2030 Notes") with a total principal amount of $126.5 million.
Fiscal Year End Results: Net investment income for the year ended March 31, 2025 was $28.1 million, or $0.76 per weighted-average common share, compared to net investment income for the year ended March 31, 2024 of $21.8 million, or $0.63 per weighted-average common share. This change was a result of an increase in total investment income, year over year.
Total investment income for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $93.7 million and $87.3 million, respectively. The year over year increase was primarily due to a $4.5 million increase in dividend and success fee income, partially due to the exit from Nth Degree Investment Group, LLC ("Nth Degree") and Nocturne in the current year, and a $1.8 million increase in interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in the weighted-average principal balance of our interest-bearing investments, due to the additional debt investments made during the year, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted-average yield on interest-bearing investments, resulting from a decrease in SOFR.
Total expenses, net of credits, for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $65.6 million and $65.5 million, respectively. The slight increase year over year was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in interest expense, primarily due to the 7.875% 2030 Notes issued in December 2024 and the 8.00% Notes due 2028 issued in May 2023 and a $1.6 million increase in base management fee, partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease in the capital gains-based incentive fees in the current year, as a result of the net impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses.
Net asset value per common share as of March 31, 2025 was $13.55 compared to $13.43 as of March 31, 2024. The year over year increase was primarily due to $63.2 million, or $1.72 per common share, of realized gains on investments and $28.1 million, or $0.76 per common share, of net investment income. These increases were partially offset by $61.0 million, or $1.66 per common share, of distributions paid to common stockholders and $26.0 million, or $0.70 per common share, of net unrealized depreciation of investments. The net unrealized depreciation of investments was a result of $62.4 million, or $1.70 per common share, reversal of the unrealized appreciation on the exits of Nth Degree and Nocturne and unrealized appreciation of $36.4 million, or $1.00 per common share, of unrealized appreciation of investments.
Subsequent Events: After March 31, 2025, the following significant events occurred:
Distributions and dividends: In April 2025, our Board of Directors declared the following monthly distributions to common stockholders:
Record Date | Payment Date | Distribution per Common Share | |
April 21, 2025 | April 30, 2025 | $ 0.08 | |
May 21, 2025 | May 30, 2025 | 0.08 | |
June 4, 2025 | June 13, 2025 | 0.54 | (A) |
June 20, 2025 | June 30, 2025 | 0.08 | |
Total for the Quarter: | $ 0.78 |
(A) Represents a supplemental distribution to common stockholders. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Adjusted Net Investment Income: On a supplemental basis, the Company discloses Adjusted net investment income, including on a weighted-average per share basis, which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income, excluding capital gains-based incentive fees. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company. The Company's investment advisory agreement provides that a capital gains-based incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized appreciation) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation on investments for such year. However, under GAAP, a capital gains-based incentive fee is accrued if realized capital gains and unrealized appreciation of investments exceed realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation of investments. Refer to Note 4 - Related Party Transactions in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion. The Company believes that Adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains-based incentive fees, as net investment income does not include realized or unrealized investment activity associated with the capital gains-based incentive fee.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted net investment income for the periods presented (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts; unaudited):

Adjusted net investment income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted net investment income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
