Key Terms

net asset value, credit facility, asset-backed debt, non-gaap financial measure, +2 more

6 terms

net asset value financial

"Net asset value per share | $10.49"

Net asset value is the total value of an investment fund's assets minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth of the fund, similar to how the value of a house is determined by its total worth after debts are subtracted. Investors use it to gauge the true value of their holdings and to compare different investment options.

credit facility financial

"Credit Facility | $488.9"

A credit facility is a flexible loan arrangement that allows a borrower to access funds up to a set limit whenever needed, similar to a company having an overdraft option on a bank account. It matters to investors because it indicates how easily a business can secure cash when required, affecting its ability to manage expenses, invest, or respond to financial challenges.

asset-backed debt financial

"2036 Asset-Backed Debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs | $284.8"

Debt that is secured by specific assets—such as loans, receivables, property, or equipment—so lenders can claim those assets if the borrower fails to pay. Think of it like a loan tied to a car: the lender can take the car if payments stop; for investors, asset-backed debt usually offers clearer recovery options and typically lower interest risk than unsecured debt, but its safety depends on the quality and marketability of the underlying assets.

non-gaap financial measure financial

"Core net investment income (“Core NII”) is a non-GAAP financial measure."

A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

net investment income financial

"Net investment income | $26.6"

Net investment income is the money an investor or fund actually keeps from its investments after subtracting the costs of running those investments (like management fees, interest, and losses). Think of it as your paycheck from owning assets: gross returns minus the bills needed to earn them. Investors watch it because it shows how profitable the investment activities are, influences dividend payouts and cash available for growth, and helps compare true performance across funds or companies.

revolving credit facility financial

"In February 2026, PSSL II upsized its revolving credit facility to $250 million."

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Set forth below are the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Investment Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 investment income was $70.1 million, which was attributable to $64.2 million from first lien secured debt and $5.9 million from other investments. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, investment income was $67.0 million, which was attributable to $61.0 million from first lien secured debt and $6.0 million from other investments. The increase in investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to the increase in the size of the debt portfolio.

Expenses

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, expenses totaled $43.5 million and were comprised of: $27.2 million of debt related interest and expenses, $6.8 million of base management fees, $6.7 million of performance-based incentive fees, $2.1 million of general and administrative expenses, $0.2 million of taxes and $0.5 million in Credit Facility amendment costs.

The increase in expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to the increase in interest expense from increased borrowings as a result of the increase in our investment portfolio.

Net Investment Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, net investment income totaled $26.6 million or $0.27 per share, and $30.0 million or $0.37 per share, respectively. The decrease in net investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to an increase in interest expense and one time credit facility amendment costs.

Net Realized Gains or Losses

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, net realized gains (losses) totaled $1.5 million and $26.7 million, respectively. The change in net realized gains (losses) was primarily due to changes in the market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized.

Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments and Debt

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $(32.3) million and $(29.0) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, our net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(78.4) million and $(46.1) million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments was primarily due to the operating performance of the portfolio companies within our portfolio, changes in the capital market conditions of our investments, and realization of investments.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Credit Facility had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of less than ($0.1) million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Credit Facility totaled zero, respectively. The net change in net unrealized (appreciation) or depreciation was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.

Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $(3.6) million or $(0.04) per share and $28.3 million, or $0.35 per share, respectively. The net increase or (decrease) from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to operating performance of our portfolio and changes in capital market conditions of our investments along with change in size and cost yield of our debt portfolio and costs of financing.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from cash flows from operations, including income earned, proceeds from investment sales and repayments, and proceeds of securities offerings and debt financings. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives and operations.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the annualized weighted average cost of debt, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment on the Credit Facility, amendment costs and debt issuance costs, was 6.2% and 7.0%, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, we had $279.1 million and $34.1 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $95.3 million and $122.7 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.

Our operating activities provided cash primarily due to our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily due to repayments of our Credit Facility offset by proceeds received from the sale of $28.5 million of 2037 Class D Notes and $21.0 million of 2036-R Asset-Backed Debt D-R Notes to third parties.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, our operating activities used cash of $232.7 million and our financing activities provided cash of $222.9 million.
