The result represents a decrease from the $28.9 million, or $0.43 a share, recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Total investment income fell to $55.7 million from $57.3 million in the prior quarter, due to the impact of American Soccer Company being on non-accrual and the absence of catch-up PIK interest from Arborworks Acquisition.

Net asset value per share decreased to $16.00 as of June 30, 2026, from $16.23 as of March 31, 2026. The decline was driven by $0.26 in realized and unrealized losses, though these were partially offset by $0.02 in excess net investment income and $0.01 from accretive share repurchases.

Realized losses rose to $12.2 million in the second quarter from approximately $10,000 in the first quarter. The liquidation of Sundance Holdings Group, LLC, which resulted in a $9.4 million loss, was the primary driver. Non-accrual investments as a percentage of debt investments at fair value rose to 2.7% from 2.5% in the prior quarter.
