Insights

CGBD reported steady Q2 results with $0.39 EPS, maintained $0.40 dividend despite 1.2% NAV decline amid record originations.

Carlyle Secured Lending delivered a solid second quarter with $0.39 per share in Net Investment Income, maintaining full dividend coverage on its $0.40 quarterly payout. The slight 1.2% NAV decline from $16.63 to $16.43 warrants attention but isn't alarming given market conditions.

What's particularly noteworthy is that CGBD achieved record originations despite CEO Justin Plouffe acknowledging historically tight spreads in the lending market. This suggests the management team is successfully navigating a competitive environment while maintaining disciplined underwriting standards.

The company's net financial leverage sits at the mid-point of their target range, positioning them well for what management anticipates will be increased deal flow in H2 2025. The growth in total investments to $2.3 billion demonstrates continued portfolio expansion.

From a structural perspective, it's worth noting the earnings release references non-GAAP adjustments related to recent acquisitions - specifically the CSL III merger and an interest in Middle Market Credit Fund II. These accounting adjustments maintain consistency in how management evaluates economic yield, though they didn't impact the final adjusted earnings figure for this quarter.

Overall, CGBD's results reflect the broader dynamics in the middle-market lending space: compressed yields amid high competition for deals, yet continued demand for private credit and opportunities for disciplined managers to deploy capital selectively.

NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” “CGBD” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CGBD) today announced its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Justin Plouffe, CGBD’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Despite market uncertainty, the second quarter was another record quarter of originations for both CGBD and the broader Carlyle Direct Lending platform. With CGBD net financial leverage at the mid-point of our target range, we remain well positioned to benefit from the expected pickup in deal volume in the second half of the year. Although spreads in the overall market remain historically tight, we continue to be dynamic in our origination strategies and disciplined in our underwriting approach, providing consistent credit performance and core middle market exposure.”

For the second quarter of 2025, we reported $0.39 per common share of Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Investment Income, a non-GAAP financial measure described below.

Net asset value per common share decreased by 1.2% for the second quarter to $16.43 from $16.63 as of March 31, 2025. The total fair value of our investments increased to $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

On a supplemental basis, we are disclosing Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Common Share, which is calculated and presented on a basis other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). We use this non-GAAP financial measure internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance, and we believe this non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate our ongoing results and trends and to review our performance without giving effect to (i) the amortization/accretion resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired and accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and (ii) the one-time purchase or non-recurring investment income and expense events, including the effects on incentive fees. In addition, Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measure described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare its financial results with those of other business development companies that have not had similar one-time or non-recurring events. The presentation of this non-GAAP measure is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.

For the second quarter of 2025, the adjustment to net investment income per common share to determine Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Common Share represents the difference between GAAP amortization under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 850 and management’s non-GAAP measure of amortization related to assets acquired in connection with the CSL III merger on March 27, 2025, and the remaining interest in Middle Market Credit Fund II on February 11, 2025. This adjustment reflects management’s view of the economic yield on the acquired assets and is consistent with our internal evaluation of performance.

There were no other one-time or non-recurring events considered as part of the non-GAAP measure for the second quarter of 2025.
