Estimated net asset value (NAV) per share at June 30, 2026 is $33.88–$33.96, up $0.42–$0.50, or 1.2%–1.5%, from $33.46 at March 31, 2026, after a $0.30 supplemental dividend. Management estimates an annualized return on equity of over 18%. Investments on non-accrual status were 1.1% of the portfolio at fair value and 4.0% at cost. Second quarter activity included $95.7 million in lower middle market investments (net cost basis decrease of $30.6 million) and $238.9 million in private loan investments (net cost basis increase of $60.2 million). All figures are preliminary and subject to quarter-end closing and review.

Positive

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The filing links estimated NAV-per-share accretion partly to equity issuance; final figures await review and the second-quarter disclosure.

The July 16, 2026 Form 8-K reports preliminary second-quarter estimates, rather than final quarterly results; the filing says the estimated NAV-per-share increase was partly helped by accretive equity issuances.

Under the supplied dilution definition, issuing additional shares increases the total share count and reduces an existing holder’s percentage ownership absent offsetting changes; the filing describes the issuance effect on estimated NAV per share as accretive.

DNII and DNII before taxes are supplemental non-U.S. GAAP measures: the filing says they add back specified non-cash compensation, and DNII before taxes also adds back NII-related tax expenses, so neither replaces GAAP NII.

Customary quarter-end closing, portfolio fair-value work, and third-party review remain incomplete; the stated resolution path is the full second-quarter results disclosure, with the earnings release scheduled for August 6, 2026 after market close.

distributable net investment income financial
"distributable net investment income (“DNII”)(1) is $1.02 to $1.06 per share."
Distributable net investment income is the portion of a fund’s or investment vehicle’s earnings from interest, dividends and other investment returns, after operating costs and required adjustments, that is available to be paid out to shareholders. It matters to investors because it signals the likely size and sustainability of cash distributions or dividends—think of it as the household budget left over for paying regular allowances after bills are paid.
non-accrual status financial
"investments on non-accrual status comprised 1.1% of the total investment portfolio"
A loan or credit account is placed in non-accrual status when the lender stops recording expected interest income because the borrower is not making scheduled payments or repayment is doubtful. Think of it like a landlord who stops counting unpaid rent as future income once a tenant stops paying; it signals rising credit problems and potential losses. For investors, non-accrual levels indicate loan quality and can foreshadow write-downs, lower earnings, and increased risk to a lender’s balance sheet.
lower middle market financial
"net fair value appreciation on our lower middle market (“LMM”) investment portfolio"
A segment of privately held companies that are larger than small businesses but smaller than big, publicly traded firms—think a successful neighborhood bakery rather than a national chain. These businesses often have steady revenue and room to grow, making them appealing targets for buyout investors seeking higher returns; they also carry more risk and less liquidity than large-cap stocks, so valuation and operational improvements matter more to investors.
net asset value financial
"net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of June 30, 2026 is $33.88 to $33.96"
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.
realized gain financial
"including the benefit of another material realized gain in our lower middle market portfolio."
Profit you actually lock in when you sell an investment: it’s the difference between what you received from the sale and what you originally paid. Like selling a used car for more than you paid, a realized gain turns a paper increase into cash that can be spent or reinvested, and it often creates tax obligations, so investors watch realized gains to understand true returns and potential tax impact.

Main Street Announces Preliminary Estimate of Second Quarter 2026
Operating Results
Announces Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and Conference Call Schedule
HOUSTON – July 16, 2026 – Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) (“Main Street”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its preliminary operating results for the second quarter
of 2026 and its second quarter 2026 earnings release and conference call schedule.
In commenting on the Company’s preliminary operating results for the second quarter of 2026,
Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are very pleased with our
performance in the second quarter, which resulted in another strong quarter of operating results,
including favorable distributable net investment income before taxes and an increase to our net
asset value per share for the sixteenth consecutive quarter. The increase in net asset value per
share was primarily driven by significant net fair value appreciation on our lower middle market
and private loan investment portfolios, including the benefit of another material realized gain in
our lower middle market portfolio. Our strong second quarter results are highlighted by a
favorable estimated return on equity of over 18% for the quarter. We look forward to sharing the
full details of our second quarter 2026 results in a few weeks.”
Preliminary Estimates of Second Quarter 2026 Results
Main Street’s preliminary estimate of second quarter 2026 net investment income (“NII”) is
$0.95 to $0.99 per share, distributable net investment income (“DNII”)(1) is $1.02 to $1.06 per
share and DNII before taxes(2) is $1.06 to $1.10 per share.
Main Street’s preliminary estimate of net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of June 30, 2026 is
$33.88 to $33.96, representing an increase of $0.42 to $0.50 per share, or 1.2% to 1.5%, from the
NAV per share of $33.46 as of March 31, 2026, with this increase after the impact of the
supplemental dividend paid in June 2026 of $0.30 per share. The estimated NAV per share
increase is primarily due to the net fair value appreciation on the investment portfolio and the
accretive impact of equity issuances, partially offset by a decrease due to the issuance of
restricted stock, the total dividends per share paid in the second quarter in excess of NII per share
and the net tax provision. The net fair value appreciation on the investment portfolio is primarily
the result of net fair value appreciation on the lower middle market (“LMM”) investment
portfolio, private loan investment portfolio and other portfolio investments, partially offset by
fair value depreciation of the wholly-owned external investment manager.
As a result of Main Street’s preliminary estimates of NII, net fair value appreciation and the net
tax provision as noted above, Main Street estimates that it generated an annualized return on
equity of over 18% for the second quarter.(3)
Main Street preliminarily estimates that investments on non-accrual status comprised 1.1% of the
total investment portfolio at fair value and 4.0% at cost as of June 30, 2026.
Investment Portfolio Activity
The Company’s second quarter 2026 operating activities include the following investment
activity in the LMM and private loan investment strategies:
•$95.7 million in total LMM portfolio investments, which after aggregate repayments and
return of invested equity capital resulted in a net decrease of $30.6 million in the total
cost basis of the LMM investment portfolio; and
•$238.9 million in total private loan portfolio investments, which after aggregate
repayments, return of invested equity capital and a decrease in cost basis due to a realized
loss resulted in a net increase of $60.2 million in the total cost basis of the private loan
investment portfolio.

Main Street will release its second quarter 2026 results on Thursday, August 6, 2026, after the

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS
Main Street cautions that statements in this press release which are forward-looking and provide
other than historical information, including but not limited to the preliminary estimates of second
quarter 2026 financial information and results, are based on current conditions and information
available to Main Street as of the date hereof. Although its management believes that the
expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, Main Street can give
no assurance that those expectations will prove to be correct. Those forward-looking statements
are made based on various underlying assumptions and are subject to numerous uncertainties and
risks, including, without limitation, such factors described under the captions “Cautionary
Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included in Main
Street’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (www.sec.gov).
Main Street undertakes no obligation to update the information contained herein to reflect
subsequently occurring events or circumstances, except as required by applicable securities laws
and regulations.
The preliminary estimates of second quarter 2026 financial information and results furnished
above are based on Main Street management’s preliminary determinations and current
expectations, and such information is inherently uncertain. The preliminary estimates provided
herein have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management and are subject to
completion of Main Street’s customary quarter-end closing and review procedures and third-
party review, including the determination of the fair value of Main Street’s portfolio investments.
As a result, actual results could differ materially from the current preliminary estimates based on
adjustments made during Main Street’s quarter-end closing and review procedures and third-
party review, and Main Street’s reported information in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 2026 may differ from this information, and any such differences may
be material. In addition, the information furnished above does not include all of the information
regarding Main Street’s financial condition and results of operations for the quarter ended
June 30, 2026 that may be important to readers. As a result, readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on the information furnished in this press release and should view this
information in the context of Main Street’s full second quarter 2026 results when such results are
disclosed by Main Street in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2026. The information furnished in this press release is based on Main Street management’s
current expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, such information.

Endnotes
(1)DNII is NII as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, or U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses,
which includes both share-based compensation expenses and deferred compensation
expense or benefit. Main Street believes presenting DNII per share is useful and
appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since (i)
share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash and (ii) deferred
compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to Main Street
upon settlement. However, DNII is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be
considered as a replacement for NII or other earnings measures presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, DNII should be reviewed only in connection
with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street’s financial performance. In
order to reconcile estimated DNII per share to estimated NII per share in accordance
with U.S. GAAP for the second quarter of 2026, an estimated $0.07 to $0.08 per
share of non-cash compensation expenses are added back to estimated NII per share
to calculate estimated DNII per share.
(2)DNII before taxes is NII as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the
impact of non-cash compensation expenses, which includes both share-based
compensation expenses and deferred compensation expense or benefit, and any tax
expenses included in NII. Main Street believes presenting DNII before taxes per share
is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial
performance since (i) share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash,
(ii) deferred compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to
Main Street upon settlement and (iii) tax expenses included in NII may include (a)
excise tax expense, which is not solely attributable to NII, and (b) deferred taxes,
which are not payable in the current period. However, DNII before taxes is a non-
U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for NII, NII
before taxes or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Instead, DNII before taxes should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S.
GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street’s financial performance. In order to
reconcile estimated DNII before taxes per share to estimated NII per share in
accordance with U.S. GAAP for the second quarter of 2026, an estimated $0.07 to
$0.08 per share of non-cash compensation expenses and an estimated $0.04 per share
of NII related tax expenses are added back to estimated NII per share to calculate
estimated DNII before taxes per share.
(3)Return on equity equals the net increase in net assets resulting from operations
divided by the average quarterly total net assets.
(4)No information contained on the Company’s website or disclosed on the August 7,
2026 conference call, including the webcast and the archived versions, is incorporated
by reference in this press release or any of the Company’s filings with the SEC, and
you should not consider that information to be part of this press release or any other
such filing.
