(A) Inclusive of $14.7 million, or $0.37 per weighted-average common share, of capital gains-based incentive fees accrued during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and $4.9 million, or $0.13 per weighted-average common share, of capital gains-based incentive fees accrued during the three months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. These fees were accrued in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. 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 (loss) income to Adjusted net investment income, including on a weighted-average per share basis. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes it is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company.
(C) Estimates of tax characterization made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax characterization of distributions for the full year. Estimates made on a quarterly basis are updated as of each interim reporting date.
Highlights for the Quarter: During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the following significant events occurred:
Portfolio Activity:
In December 2025, we invested $33.1 million in a new portfolio company, Rowan Energy Inc. ("Rowan"), in the form of $25.8 million of secured first lien debt and $7.3 million of preferred equity. Rowan, headquartered in Oklahoma, specializes in advanced frac sand filtration, completion-equipment deployment and field-operations support.
Distributions and Dividends:
Paid an $0.08 per common share distribution to common stockholders in each of October, November and December 2025.
At-the-market ("ATM") Program Activity:
Sold 230,930 shares of our common stock under our common stock ATM program at a weighted-average gross price of $14.03 per share and raised approximately $3.2 million in net proceeds. These sales were above our then-current NAV per share.
Financing activity:
Issued 6.875% Notes due 2028 with a total principal amount of $60.0 million.
Amended our credit facility, increasing the size from $270.0 million to $300.0 million.
Voluntarily redeemed the 8.00% Notes due 2028 with an aggregate principal amount of $74.8 million.
Third Quarter Results: Net investment loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $6.5 million, or $0.16 per weighted-average common share, compared to net investment income of $4.3 million, or $0.11 per weighted-average common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was a result of an increase in total expenses, net of credits, primarily due to an increase in accruals for capital gains-based incentive fees, as well as a decrease in total investment income in the current quarter.
Total investment income for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 was $25.1 million and $25.3 million, respectively. The decrease quarter over quarter was due to a $0.4 million decrease in dividend and success fee income, the timing of which can be variable, partially offset by a $0.2 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 December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 was $31.6 million and $21.0 million, respectively. The increase quarter over quarter was primarily due to a $9.9 million increase in accruals for capital gains-based incentive fees in the current quarter, as a result of the net impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses, a $0.5 million increase in base management fee and a $0.4 million decrease in credits from Adviser. The increase was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in income-based incentive fees.
Net asset value per common share as of December 31, 2025 was $14.95, compared to $13.53 as of September 30, 2025. The increase quarter over quarter was primarily due to net unrealized appreciation of investments of $70.2 million, or $1.77 per common share, and $3.5 million, or $0.09 per common share, of realized gain on investments. These increases were partially offset by $9.5 million, or $0.24 per common share, of distributions paid to common shareholders, $6.5 million, or $0.16 per common share, of net investment loss and $1.3 million, or $0.03 per common share, of realized loss on other upon the redemption of the 8.00% Notes due 2028.

Distributions and Dividends:
In January 2026, our Board of Directors declared the following monthly distributions to common stockholders:
Record Date | Payment Date | Distribution per Common Share | |
January 23, 2026 | January 30, 2026 | $ | 0.08 |
February 18, 2026 | February 27, 2026 | 0.08 | |
March 23, 2026 | March 31, 2026 | 0.08 | |
Total for the Quarter: | $ | 0.24 | |
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 (loss) 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 (loss) 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 (loss) income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted net investment income for the periods presented (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts; unaudited):
For the quarter ended | ||||||||||||||
December 31, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | |||||||||||||
Amount | Per Share Amount | Amount | Per Share Amount | |||||||||||
Net investment (loss) income | $ | (6,509 | ) | $ | (0.16 | ) | $ | 4,279 | $ | 0.11 | ||||
Capital gains-based incentive fee | 14,749 | 0.37 | 4,897 | 0.13 | ||||||||||
Adjusted net investment income | $ | 8,240 | $ | 0.21 | $ | 9,176 | $ | 0.24 | ||||||
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding - basic and diluted | 39,678,402 | 38,445,643 | ||||||||||||
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.
