Third Fiscal Quarter 2026 Results:
Interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 4.7%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven primarily by an increase in the weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio to $822.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $794.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $28.4 million, or 3.6%.
Other income decreased by $2.6 million quarter over quarter due to a one-time dividend and prepayment fee income received in the prior quarter versus no such amounts during the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Total expenses decreased by $0.7 million, or 4.7%, quarter over quarter primarily due to a $0.8 million decrease in the net base management fee, driven by increased deal origination fees which are credited to the base management fee, and a $0.2 million decrease in the gross incentive fee, driven by lower pre-incentive fee net investment income quarter over quarter. These decreasing factors were offset by a $0.6 million increase in interest expense quarter over quarter. Interest expense on our Credit Facility increased $0.3 million quarter over quarter due to a $22.3 million increase in the weighted average balance outstanding, driven by new deal activity in the current quarter. Interest expense on our notes payable increased by $0.3 million quarter over quarter due to the issuance of our 7.0% Notes due 2029 in June 2026.
Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $11.0 million, or $0.49 per share.
The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $13.3 million, or $0.59 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $15.5 million, or $0.68 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The current quarter increase in net assets resulting from operations was primarily driven by $11.0 million of net investment income and $3.0 million of net unrealized appreciation during the quarter.
Subsequent Events: Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the following significant events occurred:
| • | Portfolio Activity: |
| • | In July 2026, our debt investment in Pan-Am Dental, LLC (“Pan-Am”) was refinanced. Our existing debt investment totaling $23.0 million was repaid at par, and we invested a total of $25.7 million in Pan-Am through new secured first lien debt and additional equity. |
| • | In July 2026, our investment in Imperative Holdings Corporation paid off, which resulted in a net realized gain on our common equity and the repayment of our debt investment of $11.0 million at par. |

Comments from Gladstone Capital’s CEO and President, Bob Marcotte: “The combination of strong lower middle market deal flow and prevailing spreads supported a solid increase in our core net interest income last quarter and is key to sustaining our distributions and delivering strong economic returns for our shareholders over the balance of 2026.”
