Distributable net investment income financial
"DNII is NII ... excluding the impact of non-cash compensation expenses"
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.
Net asset value financial
"net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of September 30, 2026"
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.
non-accrual status financial
"investments on non-accrual status comprised 0.9% 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.
SBIC debentures financial
"increase the borrowing capacity of its SBIC debentures by $75.0 million"
SBIC debentures are long-term debt securities issued by Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) and guaranteed by a government agency to help those funds borrow money to invest in or lend to small businesses. Think of them as a government-backed loan that an SBIC sells to investors: they matter because the guarantee changes the credit risk and yield profile compared with ordinary corporate bonds, affecting income and perceived safety.
annualized return on equity financial
"generated an annualized return on equity of over 14%"
Annualized return on equity measures how much profit a company generates each year for every dollar investors have left in the business after liabilities are subtracted. Think of shareholder equity as seeds you plant and annualized ROE as the yearly harvest rate—higher values mean the company is generally better at turning investor money into profit, and annualizing lets investors compare performance on a common yearly basis.
Net investment income per share $0.87 to $0.91 per share
Distributable net investment income per share $0.94 to $0.98 per share
Distributable net investment income before taxes per share $0.96 to $1.00 per share
Net asset value per share $34.18 to $34.26 per share Increase of $0.26 to $0.34 per share, or 0.8% to 1.0%, from $33.92 per share as of June 30, 2026
Annualized return on equity Over 14%

Main Street Announces Preliminary Estimate of Third Quarter 2026
Operating Results
Announces Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and Conference Call Schedule
HOUSTON – October 15, 2026 – Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) (“Main
Street” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its preliminary operating results for the third
quarter of 2026 and its third quarter 2026 earnings release and conference call schedule.
In commenting on the Company’s preliminary operating results for the third quarter of 2026,
Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our
performance in the third quarter, which resulted in another quarter of strong operating results,
including distributable net investment income before taxes that was in line with our expectations
and prior guidance provided on our last conference call and an increase to our net asset value per
share for the seventeenth consecutive quarter. We look forward to sharing the full details of our
third quarter 2026 results in a few weeks.”
Preliminary Estimates of Third Quarter 2026 Results
Main Street’s preliminary estimate of third quarter 2026 net investment income (“NII”) is $0.87
to $0.91 per share, distributable net investment income (“DNII”)(1) is $0.94 to $0.98 per share
and DNII before taxes(2) is $0.96 to $1.00 per share.
Main Street’s preliminary estimate of net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of September 30,
2026 is $34.18 to $34.26, representing an increase of $0.26 to $0.34 per share, or 0.8% to 1.0%,
from the NAV per share of $33.92 as of June 30, 2026, with this increase after the impact of the
supplemental dividend paid in September 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, including
realized and unrealized activity, and the accretive impact of equity issuances, partially offset by
the total dividends per share paid in the third 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 net fair value
depreciation on the middle market investment portfolio and 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 14% for the third quarter.(3)
Main Street preliminarily estimates that investments on non-accrual status comprised 0.9% of the
total investment portfolio at fair value and 3.5% at cost as of September 30, 2026.
Additionally, during the quarter, Main Street Mezzanine Fund, LP, an investment fund wholly-
owned by the Company and licensed as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) by the
U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), received approval from the SBA to increase the
borrowing capacity of its SBIC debentures by $75.0 million to $250.0 million. Combined with
Main Street’s other wholly-owned investment fund licensed as an SBIC, Main Street Capital III,
LP, this gives Main Street access to $425.0 million of the recently increased $475.0 million of
regulatory maximum SBIC debenture borrowing capacity for affiliated SBIC funds. Main Street
expects to maintain SBIC debentures under the SBIC program in the future, subject to periodic
repayments and borrowings, in an amount up to the regulatory maximum amount.
Investment Portfolio Activity
The Company’s third quarter 2026 operating activities include the following investment activity
in the LMM and private loan investment strategies:
•$61.5 million in total LMM 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 decrease of $19.4 million in the total cost basis of the LMM investment portfolio;
and
•$162.0 million in total private loan portfolio investments, which after aggregate
repayments, return of invested equity capital and a decrease in cost basis due to realized
losses resulted in a net decrease of $1.8 million in the total cost basis of the private loan
investment portfolio.

other than historical information, including but not limited to the preliminary estimates of third
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 third 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 September 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
September 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

disclosed by Main Street in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended

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 third quarter of 2026, an estimated $0.06 to $0.07 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 third quarter of 2026, an estimated $0.06 to
$0.07 per share of non-cash compensation expenses and an estimated $0.02 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 November 6,
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.
