Executive summary

  • Net investment income for the quarter was $26.6 million ($0.27 per share), down from $30.0 million ($0.37 per share) in the prior year quarter, mainly due to higher interest expense and one-time credit facility amendment costs.

  • Portfolio at December 31, 2025 totaled $2.61 billion, with 89% in first lien secured debt, less than 1% in second lien/subordinated debt, and 11% in preferred/common equity, including investments in PSSL and PSSL II.

  • Four portfolio companies were on non-accrual status, representing 0.5% of cost and 0.1% of fair value of the portfolio.

  • PSSL II joint venture launched during the quarter, investing $197–200 million and growing to a $193.2–$326 million portfolio, with a $250 million credit facility expandable to $350 million.

  • Net asset value per share decreased to $10.49 from $10.83 sequentially, down 3.1% from the prior quarter.

Financial highlights

  • GAAP and core net investment income were both $0.27 per share for the quarter.

  • Total investment income for the quarter was $70.1 million, up from $67.0 million year-over-year.

  • Total expenses increased to $43.5 million from $37.0 million, mainly due to higher interest expense and one-time credit facility amendment costs.

  • Net realized and unrealized losses on investments totaled $30–32.3 million, resulting in a net decrease in net assets from operations of $(3.6) million ($(0.04) per share).

  • Distributions declared were $0.3075 per share, totaling $30.5 million for the quarter.

Outlook and guidance

  • Management expects to continue focusing on floating rate loans to U.S. middle-market companies, maintaining a portfolio with at least 80% in floating rate assets and at least 65% in first lien secured debt.

  • The company intends to maintain monthly distributions, subject to available net investment income and compliance with asset coverage requirements.

  • PSSL II joint venture is expected to support future NII growth and dividend coverage as it scales toward a $1 billion asset target, with timing dependent on M&A activity.

  • Increased M&A activity in the private middle market is expanding the investment pipeline and expected to drive portfolio repayments and equity rotation.

  • Management is confident in maintaining a stable dividend and sees upside potential from equity co-investments as M&A accelerates.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
