Core Net Investment Income financial
"Core Net Investment Income per common share was $0.25 per common share"
Core net investment income is the recurring cash profit a fund or investment vehicle earns from its normal lending, dividend and interest activities after routine expenses, excluding one-time gains or losses and unusual accounting items. Investors use it like a household’s steady paycheck—helping judge how reliably a fund can pay dividends or cover operating costs, because it filters out volatile or nonrecurring swings that can mask underlying performance.
collateralized loan obligations financial
"focused on investing in primarily equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations"
A collateralized loan obligation is a financial product that pools many corporate loans and repackages them into slices sold to investors, with some slices offering steady, lower returns and others offering higher returns but more risk. Like splitting a pizza into pieces for different tastes, CLOs let investors pick their preferred risk level and help banks fund lending, so changes in CLO performance influence credit availability and can move markets.
overcollateralization cushion financial
"Underlying CLOs continue to maintain healthy overcollateralization cushions with a weighted average cushion of 4.24%"
Weighted Average Rating Factor financial
"The Weighted Average Rating Factor is a numerical representation of the credit risk of a portfolio"
Moody's Diversity Score financial
"Moody's Diversity Score is a measure to estimate the diversification in a portfolio"

Carlyle Credit Income Fund Announces Third Quarter Financial Results and Declares Monthly Common and
Preferred Dividends
New York – August 19, 2026 - Carlyle Credit Income Fund (“we,” “us,” “our,” “CCIF” or the “Fund”) (NYSE: CCIF) today
announced its financial results for its third quarter ending June 30, 2026. The full detailed presentation of the Fund’s third
quarter 2026 financial results can be viewed on the Fund’s website (https://www.carlylecreditincomefund.com/investor-
dashboard).
“In the third quarter, we remained focused on long-term value creation as the CLO equity market showed signs of stabilizing
following the volatility earlier in the year,” said Nishil Mehta, CCIF’s Principal Executive Officer and President. “The pace of
spread compression may be moderating, and underlying credit fundamentals across the portfolio remained broadly stable. We
maintained our monthly dividend of $0.06 per share, which we believe remains well supported by core net investment income.
During the quarter, we completed three refinancings and resets within the underlying portfolio, extending reinvestment periods
and reducing financing costs. Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined underwriting, active portfolio management, and
investing alongside experienced CLO managers as we seek to capitalize on opportunities across the evolving CLO market.”
Over the past quarter, the Fund has successfully:
Declared a monthly dividend of $0.06 cents through November 2026, equating to a 24.9% annualized dividend based
on share price as of August 17, 2026.
Funded $11.9 million in new CLO investments with a weighted average GAAP yield of 12.96% as of June 30, 2026.
The aggregate portfolio weighted average GAAP yield was 10.44% as of June 30, 2026.
Net investment income was $0.07 per common share, adjusted net investment income was $0.09 per common share, and core
net investment income was $0.25 per common share for the third quarter of 2026. Adjusted Net Investment Income Per
Common Share and Core Net Investment Income Per Common Share are Non-GAAP financial measures described in further
detail below. Net asset value per common share was $3.32 as of June 30, 2026. The total fair value of investments was $118.9
million as of June 30, 2026.

This measure is not provided as a substitute for GAAP net investment income ("GAAP NII"), but in addition to it. Adjusted net investment income represents GAAP NII adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses associated with the amortization of (i) deferred issuance costs and (ii) original issue discount on the Fund's preferred shares. We believe adjusted net investment income is useful to investors in assessing the Fund's ongoing performance of earning income on its portfolio. The incentive fee under the investment advisory agreement is calculated based on pre- incentive fee net investment income. By removing non-cash amortization expense from pre-incentive fee net investment income, the amount of incentive fee payable may increase. The adjusted net investment income figure shown reflects this corresponding impact. We provide information relating to core net investment income (“CNII”), a non-GAAP measure, on a supplemental basis. This measure is not provided as a substitute for GAAP NII, but in addition to it. Our non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even in the event of similar terms being utilized to identify such measures. CNII is calculated using recurring cash flows minus expenses, adjusted for non-cash amortization (in accordance with the calculation of adjusted NII described above). Carlyle Credit Income Fund’s (“CCIF”) management uses this information in its internal analysis of results and believes that this information may be informative in assessing the quality of CCIF’s financial performance, identifying trends in its results and providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Income from investments in the “equity” class securities of CLO vehicles, for GAAP purposes, is recorded using the effective interest method; this is based on an effective yield to the expected redemption utilizing estimated cash flows, at current cost, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The result is an effective yield for the investment in which the respective investment’s cost basis is adjusted quarterly based on the difference between the actual cash received, or distributions entitled to be received, and the effective yield calculation. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the GAAP statement of operations differs from the cash distributions actually received by CCIF during the period (referred to below as “CLO equity adjustments”). Furthermore, in order for CCIF to continue qualifying as a regulated investment company for tax purposes, we are required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income annually. While CNII may provide a better indication of our estimated taxable income than GAAP NII during certain periods, we can offer no assurance that will be the case, however, as the ultimate tax character of our earnings cannot be determined until after tax returns are prepared at the close of a fiscal year. We note that this non-GAAP measure may not serve as a useful indicator of taxable earnings, particularly during periods of market disruption and volatility, and, as such, our taxable income may differ materially from our CNII. Previous earnings presentations for CCIF have calculated CNII using recurring cash flows minus expenses, without adjustment for non-cash amortization.
