PennantPark Floating Rate (NYSE: PFLT) resets dividend and reports Q2 2026 results
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. reported second-quarter results showing stable income but lower per-share metrics and a reset dividend framework. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net investment income was $25.7 million, or $0.26 per share, versus $0.28 a year earlier. Net asset value per share was $10.47, down from $10.83 as of September 30, 2025, with a 0.2% quarterly NAV decline. The investment portfolio totaled $2.58 billion, with about 99% in variable-rate debt and only three non-accruals representing 0.5% of fair value. The company declared quarterly-equivalent distributions of $0.3075 per share but plans to cut the base monthly dividend to $0.08 per share starting with the July distribution, adding a variable supplemental amount linked to net investment income. Leverage stood at a 1.61x debt-to-equity ratio, and the annualized weighted average cost of debt for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was 6.1%, down from 6.8% a year earlier.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Dividend reset significantly lowers base payout: The company will reduce its monthly base dividend to $0.08 per share starting with the July distribution, adding only a small initial supplemental dividend of $0.0033 per month, implying a materially lower cash distribution versus the prior $0.3075 quarterly-equivalent rate.
Insights
Results show resilient credit quality but a meaningful reset of the dividend.
PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. generated net investment income of $25.7M ($0.26 per share) on an investment portfolio of $2.58B for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. NAV per share was $10.47, down from $10.83 at September 30, 2025.
Credit metrics look firm: only three portfolio companies were on non-accrual, representing 0.5% of fair value, and about 99% of the debt portfolio was variable rate. However, net investment income per share fell from $0.28 a year earlier, while quarterly distributions remained $0.3075 per share.
A key change is the new dividend policy. The monthly base dividend will be reduced to $0.08 per share starting with the July distribution, with a variable supplemental dividend generally equal to 50% of prior-quarter NII above the base. Initial supplemental payments are set at $0.0033 per month for July–September 2026, implying a materially lower run-rate payout versus recent levels.

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
“We are pleased with the continued quality and performance of our investment portfolio in this market. The risk-reward of the core middle market remains differentiated from the upper middle market. Despite the challenging market environment, NAV was flat for the quarter and portfolio company leverage, PIK interest and non accruals are among the lowest in the industry. The substantial growth of the PSSL II JV this past quarter provides a solid base and positions PFLT for growth in NII over time as the JV ramps" said Art Penn, Chairman and CEO. "Given the lower interest rate environment and current market activity levels, in consultation with the Board, we will be adjusting our dividend policy to be better aligned with NII, starting with the July dividend."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Investment Income
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 investment income was $66.0 million and $136.0 million, respectively, which was attributable to $58.6 million and $122.9 million from first lien secured debt and $7.3 million and $13.2 million from other investments, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, investment income was $61.9 million and $128.9 million, respectively, which was attributable to $56.2 million and $117.2 million from first lien secured debt and $5.7 million and $11.7 million from other investments, respectively. The increase in investment income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to the increase in the size of our debt portfolio.
Expenses
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, expenses totaled $40.2 million and $83.7 million, respectively and were comprised of: $24.1 million and $51.3 million of debt related interest and expenses, $6.4 million and $13.2 million of base management fees, $6.4 million and $13.1 million of performance-based incentive fees, $2.1 million and $4.2 million of general and administrative expenses, less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million of taxes and $1.1 million and $1.6 million in Credit Facility amendment and debt issuance costs. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, expenses totaled $36.9 million and $74.0 million, respectively and were comprised of: $22.5 million and $44.9 million of debt related interest and expenses, $5.6 million and $10.9 million of base management fees, $6.3 million and $13.8 million of performance-based incentive fees, $1.9 million and $3.6 million of general and administrative expenses, $0.2 million and $0.5 million of taxes and $0.4 million and $0.4 million in Credit Facility amendment costs. The increase in expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to the increase in interest expense from increased borrowings as a result of the increase in our investment portfolio.
Net Investment Income
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 net investment income totaled $25.8 million or $0.26 per share, and $52.4 million or $0.53 per share, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 net investment income totaled $25.0 million or $0.28 per share, and $55.0 million or $0.64 per share, respectively. The decrease in net investment income for the six months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to an increase in interest expense and one time credit facility amendment and debt issuance costs.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 net realized gains (losses) totaled $(8.9) million and $(7.5) million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 net realized gains (losses) totaled $(3.5) million and $23.1 million, respectively. The change in net realized gains (losses) was primarily due to changes in the market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized.
Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments and Debt
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $12.2 million and $(20.1) million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $(20.8) million and $(49.7) million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, our net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(66.1) million and $(46.1) million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments was primarily due to the operating performance of the portfolio companies within our portfolio, changes in the capital market conditions of our investments, and realization of investments.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, our Credit Facility had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of less than $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, our Credit Facility had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Credit Facility totaled approximately zero and zero, respectively. The net change in net unrealized (appreciation) or depreciation was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.
Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $28.7 million or $0.29 per share and $25.2 million, or $0.25 per share, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $1.2 million or $0.01 per share and $29.6 million or $0.34 per share, respectively. The net increase or (decrease) from operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to operating performance of our portfolio and changes in capital market conditions of our investments along with change in size and cost yield of our debt portfolio and costs of financing.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from cash flows from operations, including income earned, proceeds from investment sales and repayments, and proceeds of securities offerings and debt financings. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives and operations.
In February 2026, the Company closed the refinancing of the 2036 Asset-Backed Debt with a four-year reinvestment period and 12-year final maturity $356.5 million debt securitization (the "2038-R Asset-Backed Debt"). The Company retained the $69.5 million of the securitization's subordinated notes. The replacement debt had weighted average interest rate of 5.3% as of March 31, 2026 and matures in April 2038.
In March 2026, we issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% unsecured 2029 Notes. The effective interest rate on the 2029 Notes is 7.00% and they mature in March 2029.
For the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the annualized weighted average cost of debt, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment on the Credit Facility, amendment costs and debt issuance costs, was 6.1% and 6.8%, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 we had $439.7 million and $34.1 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.
As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $121.9 million and $122.7 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, we did not issue any shares of our common stock under the ATM Programs. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, we issued 11,562,000 shares and 18,838,000 shares of our common stock under the ATM Programs, respectively, at an average price of $11.34 per share and $11.35 per share raising $131.0 million and
$213.2 million of net proceeds after commissions to the Sales Agents and inclusive of proceeds from the Investment Adviser to ensure that all shares were sold at or above NAV, respectively.
For the six months ended March 31, 2026, our operating activities provided cash of $172.9 million and our financing activities used cash of $173.7 million. Our operating activities provided cash primarily due to our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily due to repayments of our Credit Facility offset by proceeds received from the sales of $28.5 million of 2037 Class D Notes, $21.0 million of 2036-R Asset-Backed Debt D-R Notes to third parties and the issuance of $200.0 million of our 2029 Notes.
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, our operating activities used cash of $350.8 million and our financing activities provided cash of $350.1 million. Our operating activities used cash primarily due to our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily due to borrowings under our Credit Facility, proceeds from the 2037 Asset-Backed debt and proceeds from the public offerings under our 2024 ATM Program.
DISTRIBUTIONS
During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 we declared distributions of $0.3075 per share and $0.615 per share for total distributions of $30.5 million and $61.0 million. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, we declared distributions of $0.3075 per share and $0.615 per share for total distributions of $27.7 million and $52.9 million. We monitor available net investment income to determine if a return of capital for tax purposes may occur for the fiscal year. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, stockholders will be notified of the portion of those distributions deemed to be a tax return of capital. Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders subject to information reporting on Form 1099-DIV after the end of each calendar year and in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
ADJUSTED DISTRIBUTION POLICY
Given the lower interest rate environment and current market activity levels, in consultation with the Board, we will be adjusting our dividend policy to be better aligned with NII, starting with the July monthly distribution. The monthly base dividend will be adjusted to $0.08 per share. In addition to the base dividend, we plan to pay a monthly supplemental dividend. The supplemental dividend will be variable and, in general, calculated as 50% of prior quarter's NII in excess of the base dividend, if any, rounded to the nearest penny. Such amount will be paid each quarter ratably over a three-month period to be paid at the same time as the base dividend. The exact amount of each supplemental dividend will be included in our monthly distribution announcements. The supplemental dividend for July, August, and September will be $0.0033 per share each month.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The 2026 Notes were repaid in full on April 1, 2026.
