Filing Explained

The filing links a 4.5% rise in weighted-average shares to lower Q2 per-share income, creating dilution for existing holders.

This August 6, 2026 Form 8-K reports Main Street Capital Corporation's second-quarter results as furnished information under Item 2.02; it is not the forthcoming detailed quarterly report.

The company says weighted-average shares rose 4.5% year over year, primarily through its at-the-market program, dividend reinvestment plan and equity incentive plans; that larger share base reduces existing holders' percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.

Although total investment income and net investment income increased year over year, net investment income per share and distributable net investment income per share each declined $0.02, to $0.97 and $1.04, respectively, and the filing attributes the per-share decreases partly to the higher share count.

The company points readers to a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 for more detailed financial and other information; that unaudited quarterly report remains to be filed.

Distributable net investment income financial
"Second Quarter 2026 Distributable Net Investment Income(1) of $1.04 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.
Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio financial
"ratio of total non-interest operating expenses as a percentage of quarterly average total assets"
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.
Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) debentures financial
"outstanding Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) debentures through our wholly-owned SBIC subsidiaries"
weighted-average annual effective yield financial

In commenting on the Company’s 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 strong quarterly operating results highlighted by an annualized return on equity of 18.9%. The
results included favorable levels of net investment income per share and distributable net investment income
before taxes per share and a significant increase in net asset value per share, 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 investment portfolio. We believe that these results
continue to demonstrate the sustainable strength of our overall platform, the benefits of our differentiated and
diversified investment strategies and the continued underlying strength and quality of our portfolio companies.”
Mr. Hyzak continued, “Our strong second quarter results and continued positive outlook for the future resulted
in the declaration of another $0.30 per share supplemental dividend to be paid in September 2026, representing
our twentieth consecutive quarterly supplemental dividend, to go with the 12 increases to our regular monthly
dividends declared since the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, with the continued support from our long-
term lender relationships as evidenced by the recent expansion and extension of our Corporate Facility and our
recent investment grade notes offering in April 2026, we continue to maintain strong liquidity and a
conservative leverage profile, which we believe is important in the current economic environment. We remain
confident that our diversified lower middle market and private loan investment strategies, together with the
benefits of our asset management business, cost efficient operating structure and conservative capital structure,
will allow us to continue to deliver superior results for our shareholders.”

The $5.6 million increase in total investment income in the second quarter of 2026 from the comparable period
of the prior year was principally attributable to (i) an $11.8 million increase in interest income, primarily due to
higher average levels of income producing investment portfolio debt investments, partially offset by a decrease
in interest rates, primarily resulting from decreases in benchmark index rates on floating rate investment
portfolio debt investments, and the negative impact from investment portfolio debt investments on non-accrual
status and (ii) a $4.3 million increase in fee income, primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in fee income from
the refinancing and prepayment of investment portfolio debt investments and a $1.5 million increase in fee
income related to increased investment activity. These increases were partially offset by a $10.4 million
decrease in dividend income, primarily due to an $8.8 million decrease in dividend income from our LMM
portfolio companies, a $0.8 million decrease in dividend income from our External Investment Manager (as
defined in the External Investment Manager section below) and a $0.5 million decrease in dividend income
from our other portfolio investments. The $5.6 million increase in total investment income in the second quarter
of 2026 includes the impact of an increase of $1.4 million in certain income considered less consistent or non-
recurring, primarily related to increases of (i) $3.1 million in such fee income and (ii) $0.8 million in such
interest income from accelerated prepayment, repricing and other activity related to certain investment portfolio
debt investments, partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in such dividend income, in each case when
compared to the same period in 2025.
Total cash expenses(4) increased $4.2 million, or 9.5%, to $48.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 from
$44.5 million for the same period in 2025. This increase in total cash expenses was principally attributable to (i)
a $4.1 million increase in interest expense and (ii) a $1.0 million increase in cash compensation expenses,(4)
partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in expenses allocated to our External Investment Manager. The
increase in interest expense was primarily related to an increase in average borrowings outstanding used to fund
a portion of the growth of our investment portfolio, partially offset by a decreased weighted-average interest
rate on our Credit Facilities due to decreases in benchmark index rates. The increase in cash compensation
expenses(4) is primarily related to increases in employee headcount to support our growing investment portfolio
and asset management activities, base compensation rates and other compensation related accruals. The increase
4
in expenses allocated to the External Investment Manager was primarily driven by the increased compensation
expenses.
Non-cash compensation expenses(4) increased $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 from the comparable
period of the prior year, primarily driven by a $0.5 million increase in deferred compensation expense.
Our Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio (which includes non-cash compensation expenses(4)) on an annualized
basis was 1.3% for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease from 1.4% for the second quarter of 2025.
Excise tax expense decreased $0.2 million and NII related federal and state income and other tax expenses
decreased $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, resulting in a
decrease in tax expenses included in NII of $1.7 million. The decrease in excise tax was due to a decrease in
undistributed taxable income as of June 30, 2026 and the decrease in NII related federal and state income and
other tax expenses was due to a decrease in taxable NII between the comparable periods.
The $2.1 million increase in NII and the $3.0 million increase in DNII(1) in the second quarter of 2026 from the
comparable period of the prior year were both principally attributable to (i) the increase in total investment
income and (ii) the decrease in NII related tax expenses, partially offset by an increase in total cash expenses,
each as discussed above. NII and DNII(1) on a per share basis each decreased by $0.02 per share for the second
quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025, to $0.97 per share and $1.04 per share, respectively.
These decreases include the impact of a 4.5% increase in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to
the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to shares issued since the beginning of the comparable period of the
prior year through our (i) at-the-market (“ATM”) equity issuance program, (ii) dividend reinvestment plan and
(iii) equity incentive compensation plans. The decreases in NII and DNII(1) on a per share basis in the second
quarter of 2026 are after a net increase of $0.01 per share resulting from an increase in investment income
considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature compared to the second quarter of 2025, as discussed
above.
The $147.6 million net increase in net assets resulting from operations in the second quarter of 2026 represents
a $25.0 million increase from the second quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily the result of (i) a $31.6
million increase in the net fair value change of our portfolio investments resulting from the net impact of net
realized gains/losses and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation, with the increase resulting from a net fair
value increase of $65.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to a net fair value increase of
$33.5 million in the prior year and (ii) a $2.1 million increase in NII as discussed above, with these increases
partially offset by an $8.7 million increase in the net tax provision on the net fair value change of our portfolio
investments, resulting from a net tax provision of $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to a net
tax benefit of $0.9 million in the comparable period of the prior year. The $65.0 million net fair value increase
in the second quarter of 2026 was the result of a net realized gain of $32.8 million and net unrealized
appreciation (including the reversal of net fair value appreciation recognized in prior periods due to the net
realized gain in the quarter) of $32.2 million. The $33.5 million net fair value increase in the second quarter of
2025 was the result of a net realized gain of $52.4 million, partially offset by net unrealized depreciation of
$19.0 million. The $32.8 million net realized gain from investments for the second quarter of 2026 was
primarily the result of a $46.4 million realized gain on the full exit of a LMM portfolio investment, partially
offset by a $13.3 million realized loss on the restructure of a private loan portfolio investment.

Investment Portfolio Information as of June 30, 2026(5)

___________________________
(a)We had equity ownership in all of our LMM portfolio companies, and our average fully diluted equity
ownership in those portfolio companies was 36%.
(b)The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt
investments as of June 30, 2026, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of
original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt investments and any debt
investments on non-accrual status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each applicable
debt investment as of June 30, 2026.
(c)The average EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is calculated using
a simple average for the LMM portfolio companies and a weighted-average for the private loan portfolio
companies. These calculations exclude certain portfolio companies, including six LMM portfolio companies
and five private loan portfolio companies, as EBITDA is not a meaningful valuation metric for our
investments in these portfolio companies, and those portfolio companies whose primary purpose is to own
real estate and those portfolio companies whose primary operations have ceased and only residual value
remains.
The fair value of our LMM portfolio company equity investments was 196% of the related cost basis of such
equity investments, and our LMM portfolio companies had a median net senior debt (senior interest-bearing
debt through our debt position less cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA ratio of 2.7 to 1.0 and a median total
EBITDA to senior interest expense ratio of 2.9 to 1.0. Including all debt that is junior in priority to our debt
position, these median ratios were 2.7 to 1.0 and 2.8 to 1.0, respectively.(5)(6)
7
As of June 30, 2026, our investment portfolio also included:
•Other portfolio investments in 34 entities, spread across 13 investment managers, collectively totaling
$141.3 million in fair value and $150.8 million in cost basis, which comprised 2.5% and 3.0% of our
investment portfolio at fair value and cost, respectively;
•Middle market portfolio investments in 11 portfolio companies, collectively totaling $83.1 million in fair
value and $123.1 million in cost basis, which comprised 1.4% and 2.5% of our investment portfolio at fair
value and cost, respectively; and
•Our investment in the External Investment Manager, with a fair value of $225.2 million and a cost basis of
$29.5 million, which comprised 3.9% and 0.6% of our investment portfolio at fair value and cost,
respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, investments on non-accrual status comprised 1.1% of the total investment portfolio at fair
value and 4.0% at cost, and our total portfolio investments at fair value were 116% of the related cost basis.
External Investment Manager
MSC Adviser I, LLC is our wholly-owned portfolio company and registered investment adviser that provides
investment management services to external parties (the “External Investment Manager”). We share employees
with the External Investment Manager and allocate costs related to such shared employees and other operating
expenses to the External Investment Manager. The total contribution of the External Investment Manager to our
NII consists of the combination of the expenses we allocate to the External Investment Manager and the
dividend income we earn from the External Investment Manager. During the second quarter of 2026, the
External Investment Manager earned $9.6 million of total fee income, and waived $0.3 million of incentive
fees, resulting in total fee income, net of waivers, of $9.4 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from the second
quarter of 2025. The fee income earned by the External Investment Manager in the second quarter of 2026
included (i) $6.2 million of management fee income, an increase of $0.5 million from the second quarter of
2025, and (ii) incentive fees, net of waivers, of $3.0 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from the second quarter
of 2025. As discussed above, we allocated $6.6 million of total expenses to the External Investment Manager
during the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.7 million from the second quarter of 2025. The increase in
management fee income was primarily attributable to an increase in total assets managed for clients. The
decrease in incentive fees, net of waivers, is the result of (i) a decrease in gross incentive fees of $0.5 million
and (ii) the $0.3 million incentive fee waiver. The decrease in gross incentive fees was attributable to changes in
the performance and operating results from the assets managed for clients in the second quarter of 2026 relative
to the second quarter of 2025. The combination of the dividend income we earned from the External Investment
Manager and expenses we allocated to it resulted in a total contribution to our NII of $8.7 million, which is
consistent with the total contribution to our NII from the second quarter of 2025.
The External Investment Manager ended the second quarter of 2026 with total assets under management of
$1.8 billion.

(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.(4) Main Street believes presenting DNII
and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial
performance since non-cash compensation expenses(4) do 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 and should be reviewed only in
connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street’s financial performance. A
reconciliation of NII in accordance with U.S. GAAP to DNII is detailed in the financial tables included with
this press release.
(2)DNII before taxes is NII as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of non-cash
compensation expenses(4) and any tax expenses included in NII. Main Street believes presenting DNII
before taxes and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for
analyzing its financial performance since (i) non-cash compensation expenses(4) do not result in a net cash
impact to Main Street upon settlement and (ii) 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
and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street’s
financial performance. A reconciliation of NII in accordance with U.S. GAAP to DNII before taxes is
detailed in the financial tables included with this press release.
(3)Return on equity equals the net increase in net assets resulting from operations divided by the average
quarterly total net assets.
(4)Non-cash compensation expenses consist of (i) share-based compensation and (ii) deferred compensation
expense or benefit, both of which are non-cash in nature. Share-based compensation does not require
settlement in cash. Deferred compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to Main
Street upon settlement. The appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of deferred compensation plan
assets is reflected in Main Street’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) and an increase (decrease) in compensation expenses, respectively. Cash compensation
expenses are total compensation expenses as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, less non-cash
compensation expenses. Total cash expenses are total expenses, as determined in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, excluding non-cash compensation expenses. Main Street believes presenting cash compensation
expenses, non-cash compensation expenses and total cash expenses is useful and appropriate supplemental
disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since non-cash compensation expenses do not result in a
net cash impact to Main Street upon settlement. However, cash compensation expenses, non-cash
compensation expenses and total cash expenses are non-U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered
as a replacement for compensation expenses, total expenses or other earnings measures presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in
analyzing Main Street’s financial performance. A reconciliation of compensation expenses and total
expenses in accordance with U.S. GAAP to cash compensation expenses, non-cash compensation expenses
and total cash expenses is detailed in the financial tables included with this press release.
(5)Portfolio company financial information has not been independently verified by Main Street.
(6)These credit statistics exclude portfolio companies on non-accrual status and portfolio companies for which
EBITDA is not a meaningful metric.

(7)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.
