Q3 2025 earnings summary5 Nov, 2025

Executive summary

  • Net asset value (NAV) per share declined to $10.01 from $12.10, mainly due to unrealized losses on First Brands investments and significant unrealized depreciation.

  • Net investment income (NII) dropped to $2.4 million ($0.20 per share) from $5.9 million ($0.51 per share) in the prior quarter, impacted by lower CLO JV distributions and higher interest expense.

  • Total investment income for Q3 2025 was $10.6 million, down from $14.3 million in Q2 2025, mainly due to lower CLO JV distributions and absence of an insurance-related distribution.

  • Board approved a $0.37 per share dividend for Q4 2025 and a $10 million share repurchase program.

  • Raised $27 million in equity, refinanced high-cost debt, and expanded the revolver to $50 million, resulting in strong liquidity and capital position.

  • Net assets stood at $140 million as of September 30, 2025, with total fair value of investments at $325.1 million.

  • Debt-to-equity ratio was 1.47x, with $205 million in total debt outstanding and $25 million in cash.

  • Asset coverage ratio was 168.2% as of September 30, 2025.

Outlook and guidance

  • Board maintained the quarterly distribution at $0.37 per share for Q4 2025.

  • Plan to harvest over $20 million from non-yielding assets and redeploy into income-generating investments.

  • Ample liquidity and leverage at approximately 1.5x debt-to-equity position the company for further capital deployment.

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.
