For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company invested $57.0 million across 3 new portfolio companies and several follow-on revolver and delayed draw fundings. During this period, the Company had $36.1 million in aggregate exits, sales and repayments. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company invested $57.5 million across 3 new portfolio companies and several follow-on revolver and delayed draw fundings. For this period, the Company had $92.7 million in aggregate exits, sales and repayments.
Results of Operations
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, total investment income was $36.3 million, compared to $37.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily driven by lower dividend income from the Company's Logan JV investment and reduced accelerated amortization and prepayment fee income, reflecting lower repayment and refinancing activity during the quarter. These items were partially offset by higher recurring interest income from investments.
Interest income, which includes the amortization of upfront fees, accelerated amortization of original issue discount ("OID") and prepayment fees, increased modestly to $34.7 million from $34.5 million in the prior quarter. Included in interest income was $0.2 million and $0.6 million of accelerated OID amortization related to investment repayments for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.
Dividend income decreased to $1.2 million from $3.0 million, primarily reflecting lower distributions from the Company's Logan JV investment. Other income, which includes consent, waiver, amendment, agency, underwriting and arranger fees, was $0.4 million in both periods.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, total net expenses, including income and excise taxes, were $23.2 million and $22.4 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $35.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and $199.6 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. The weighted average cost of debt on the Company's debt outstanding as of June 30, 2026 was 6.13%.
The Company's net debt-to-equity ratio(4) was 1.37x as of June 30, 2026.

Endnotes
| Note: Numbers may not sum due to rounding. | ||
| 1) | The third special dividend will be paid on December 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of November 30, 2026. | |
| 2) | Yield includes performing debt and other income producing investments (excluding investments on non-accrual). | |
| 3) | Unitranche loans are first lien loans that may extend deeper in a company's capital structure than traditional first lien debt and may provide for a waterfall of cash flow priority among different lenders in the unitranche loan. In certain instances, the Company may find another lender to provide the "first out" portion of such loan and retain the "last out" portion of such loan, in which case, the "first out" portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the "last out" portion that the Company would continue to hold. In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the "last out" portion earns a higher interest rate. | |
| 4) | Net debt-to-equity represents principal debt outstanding, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by equity. | |
