“We are pleased to report strong origination activity during the third quarter,” said Doug Goodwillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “Origination volumes have picked-up substantially during 2024 and we see this pace continuing based on the current level of private equity investment activity.”

“Our portfolio, which is diversified by end-market and industry, continues to perform well for our shareholders,” said Ken Leonard, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “The stable industries we focus on have produced attractive debt financing opportunities and a portfolio with lower leverage and higher interest coverage.”

  • Net investment income of $37.1 million, or $0.52 per share;
  • Net asset value of $16.70 per share, an increase from $16.57 per share as of June 30, 2024, primarily the result of excess net investment income over the regular dividend
  • New private credit and equity investment commitments of $182.6 million, fundings of $184.6 million and sales and repayments of $82.8 million, resulting in a net funded private credit and equity investment increase of $101.8 million;

  • The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a regular dividend of $0.40 per share, to be paid on January 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2024.

Results of Operations

Total investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $57.8 million, as compared to $52.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven by the additions to the portfolio during the third quarter and the full quarter impact of purchases made in the second quarter.

Net investment income for the quarter ending September 30, 2024 was $37.1 million or $0.52 per share, compared to $34.4 million or $0.51 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net expenses for the third quarter were $20.8 million compared to $18.1 million for the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense as a result of higher leverage during the quarter.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the net change in unrealized gains was $0.5 million. The unrealized gains for the quarter were primarily driven by new upfront fees for originations partially offset by changes in the fair value of certain investments and quarterly amortization. For the quarter, there were no realized gains (losses).
