Insights

Credit & Capital Structure Analyst

Strong capital actions and funding mix reduce near-term refinancing risk while borrowing costs remain manageable.

Capital Southwest executed a material unsecured bond issuance of $350 million at 5.950%, increasing index‑eligible debt and supply of long‑dated funding. They used proceeds to fully redeem shorter dated notes with no make‑whole premium, which simplifies the maturity profile and lowers immediate rollover pressure.

Liquidity sits at $87.4 million cash plus $632.2 million unused credit capacity; regulatory debt/equity is 0.91 to 1.0. These facts point to ample near‑term liquidity and a staggered debt book spanning maturities into 2030. Monitor the announced ~$2.2 million loss on extinguishment in the quarter ending December 31, 2025 and interest expense trends tied to average borrowings over the next two quarters.

Portfolio & Distribution Analyst

Origination momentum and dividend coverage improved; portfolio marks mixed with equity gains offset by debt depreciation.

The firm originated $245.5 million of new commitments, predominantly first lien senior secured debt, yielding a weighted average debt yield of 11.5%. Pre‑tax net investment income rose to $34.0 million ($0.61 per share) and disclosed LTM regular dividend coverage at 104%, supporting declared monthly and supplemental distributions.

Portfolio valuation changes include net appreciation of $5.7 million in equity and net depreciation of $10.3 million in credit investments, producing a quarter net loss on investments of $6.4 million. NAV moved slightly to $16.62 per share. Watch near‑term prepayment/exit proceeds and performance of the credit book over the next two quarters to see if credit marks reverse or continue to pressure earnings.

Additionally, we have continued to successfully harvest realized gains with the exit of one equity investment this quarter, increasing our undistributable taxable income balance to $1.13 per share. During the quarter, the Board of Directors again declared a regular monthly dividend of $0.1934 for each of October, November and December 2025 and a quarterly supplemental dividend of $0.06 to be paid in December 2025.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year Investment Activities

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company originated $245.5 million in new commitments, consisting of investments in seven new portfolio companies totaling $165.8 million and add-on commitments in ten portfolio companies totaling $79.7 million. New portfolio company originations were comprised of $162.5 million in first lien senior secured debt and $3.3 million in equity investments.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $25.2 million from three portfolio company prepayments and exits, generating net realized gains of $3.5 million. Total proceeds were comprised of $20.6 million from debt investments and $4.6 million from equity investments.

Second Fiscal Quarter 2026 Operating Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Capital Southwest reported total investment income of $56.9 million, compared to $55.9 million in the prior quarter. The increase in investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in cash interest income due to an increase in the average cost basis of investments held and an increase in amendment fees and arranger fees received during the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in PIK interest income.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, total operating expenses (excluding interest expense) were $6.9 million, compared to $8.0 million in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in total employee compensation due to a decrease in accrued bonus compensation.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, interest expense was $16.0 million, compared to $15.3 million in the prior quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in average borrowings.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, total pre-tax net investment income was $34.0 million, compared to $32.7 million in the prior quarter.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, there was a tax provision of $2.0 million, compared to a tax provision of $0.8 million in the prior quarter. The provision includes a $0.9 million deferred tax expense, which is primarily attributable to a decrease in the tax basis of investments held at Capital Southwest Equity Investments, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary that has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, resulting in an increase in tax expense.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Capital Southwest recorded total net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $6.4 million, compared to $4.9 million of total net realized and unrealized losses in the prior quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the total net realized and unrealized losses on investments reflected net realized and unrealized gains on equity investments of $5.7 million, net realized and unrealized losses on debt investments of $10.3 million and net realized and unrealized income tax provision of $1.8 million. The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $25.6 million for the quarter, compared to $27.0 million in the prior quarter.

The Company’s NAV at September 30, 2025 was $16.62 per share, compared to $16.59 per share in the prior quarter. The increase in NAV per share from the prior quarter is primarily due to the issuance of common stock at a premium to NAV per share through the Equity ATM Program (as described below), partially offset by net realized and unrealized losses on investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2025, Capital Southwest had approximately $87.4 million in unrestricted cash and money market balances and $632.2 million of unused capacity under the Corporate Credit Facility (as defined below) and the SPV Credit Facility (as defined below). The regulatory debt to equity ratio at the end of the quarter was 0.91 to 1.

In August 2016, CSWC entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Corporate Credit Facility”) to provide additional liquidity to support its investment and operational activities. Borrowings under the Corporate Credit Facility accrue interest on a per annum basis at a rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate plus 2.15%. On August 2, 2023, CSWC entered into the Third Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement that (1) increased commitments under the Corporate Credit Facility from $400 million to $435 million; (2) added an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the maximum commitments up to $750 million; (3) extended the end of the Corporate Credit Facility's revolving period from August 9, 2025 to August 2, 2027 and extended the final maturity from August 9, 2026 to August 2, 2028; and (4) amended several financial covenants. As of September 30, 2025, the total commitments under the Corporate Credit Facility were $510 million provided by 11 lenders.

Capital Southwest SPV LLC ("SPV") is a wholly owned special purpose vehicle that was formed to hold investments for the SPV Credit Facility (as defined below) to support our investment and operating activities. On March 20, 2024, SPV entered into a special purpose vehicle financing credit facility (the "SPV Credit Facility"). The SPV Credit Facility included an initial commitment of $150 million. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, on June 20, 2024, total commitments automatically increased from $150 million to $200 million. The SPV Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that allows increases up to $400 million of total commitments from new and existing lenders on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments. Borrowings under the SPV Credit Facility bear interest at three-month Term SOFR plus 2.50% per annum during the revolving period ending on March 20, 2027 and three-month Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.85% thereafter. SPV (i) paid unused commitment fees of 0.10% through April 20, 2024 and (ii) pays unused commitment fees of 0.35% thereafter, on the unused lender commitments under the SPV Credit Facility, in addition to other customary fees. Under the SPV Credit Facility, SPV also pays a utilization fee based on the amount of borrowings utilized. The SPV Credit Facility matures on March 20, 2029.

In September 2025, the Company issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.950% Notes due 2030 (the "September 2030 Notes"). The September 2030 Notes were issued at a price of 99.345% of the aggregate principal amount of the September 2030 Notes, resulting in yield-to-maturity of 6.104%. The September 2030 Notes mature on September 18, 2030 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time prior to August 18, 2030, at par plus a "make-whole" premium, and thereafter at par. The September 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.950% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 18 and September 18 of each year, beginning on March 18, 2026.

On October 13, 2025, the Company redeemed, in full, $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding October 2026 Notes and redeemed, in full, $71.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding August 2028 Notes. Each of the October 2026 Notes and the August 2028 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon, through, but excluding, the redemption date. There was no "make-whole" premium required to be paid in connection therewith. The Company will recognize a realized loss on extinguishment of debt, equal to the write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs, of approximately $2.2 million during the quarter ending December 31, 2025.

The Company has an "at-the-market" offering (the "Equity ATM Program"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through sales agents, up to $1 billion of shares of its common stock. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold 1,766,975 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $22.81 per share, raising $40.3 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds were $39.7 million after commissions to the sales agents on shares sold. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has $208.0 million available under the Equity ATM Program.

Our wholly owned subsidiaries, Capital Southwest SBIC I, LP (“SBIC I”) and Capital Southwest SBIC II, LP ("SBIC II" and together with SBIC I, the "SBIC Subsidiaries"), each received a license from the Small Business Administration (the "SBA") to operate as a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") under Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, on April 20, 2021 and April 17, 2025, respectively. The SBIC licenses allow the SBIC Subsidiaries to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures ("SBA Debentures"), subject to the issuance of a leverage commitment by the SBA. SBA Debentures are loans issued to an SBIC that have interest payable semi-annually and a ten-year maturity. The interest rate is fixed shortly after issuance at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten-year maturities. For two or more SBICs under common control, the maximum amount of outstanding SBA Debentures cannot exceed $350 million. As of September 30, 2025, SBIC I had a total leverage commitment from the SBA in the amount of $175.0 million, all of which was drawn, and SBIC II had a total leverage commitment from the SBA in the amount of $40.0 million, none of which was drawn.

Share Repurchase Program

On July 28, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $20 million of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market at certain thresholds below its NAV per share, in accordance with guidelines specified in Rules 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On August 31, 2021, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement, which became effective immediately, and the Company will cease purchasing its common stock under the share repurchase program upon the earlier of, among other things: (1) the date on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares equals $20 million including, without limitation, all applicable fees, costs and expenses; or (2) upon written notice by the Company to the broker that the share repurchase agreement is terminated. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program.
