In commenting on the Company's operating results for the third quarter of 2025, 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 highlighted by an annualized return on equity of 17.0%, favorable levels of net investment income per share and distributable net investment income per share and another record for net asset value per share primarily driven by a significant net fair value increase of our existing lower middle market investment portfolio. We believe that these continued strong results demonstrate the sustainable strength of our overall platform, the benefits of our differentiated and diversified investment strategies, the unique contributions of our asset management business and the continued underlying strength and quality of our portfolio companies."
Mr. Hyzak continued, "Our strong third quarter performance resulted in the declaration of another $0.30 per share supplemental dividend to be paid in December 2025, representing our seventeenth consecutive quarterly supplemental dividend, to go with the 11 increases to our regular monthly dividends declared since the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, with the continued support from our long-term lender relationships, and the benefits of our recent investment grade notes offering in August 2025, we continue to maintain very 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, both of which are generating favorable investment activity in the fourth quarter, together with the benefits of our asset management business, our cost efficient operating structure and conservative capital structure, will allow us to continue to deliver superior results for our shareholders."

The $3.0 million increase in total investment income in the third quarter of 2025 from the comparable period of the prior year was principally attributable to (i) an $8.0 million increase in dividend income, primarily due to a $6.6 million increase in dividend income from our LMM portfolio companies, a $0.7 million increase in dividend income from our other portfolio investments and a $0.5 million increase in dividend income from our External Investment Manager (as defined in the External Investment Manager section below) and (ii) a $2.2 million increase in fee income, primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in fees related to increased investment activity and a $0.9 million increase from the refinancing and prepayment of debt investments, with these increases partially offset by a $7.3 million decrease in interest income, principally attributable to a decrease in interest rates, primarily resulting from decreases in benchmark index rates on floating rate debt investments and decreases in interest rate spreads on existing debt investments, and an increase in investments on non-accrual status, partially offset by higher average levels of income producing investment portfolio debt investments. The $3.0 million increase in total investment income in the third quarter of 2025 includes the impact of an increase of $2.1 million in certain income considered less consistent or non-recurring, primarily related to (i) a $0.9 million increase in such fee income, (ii) a $0.6 million increase in such dividend income and (iii) a $0.6 million increase in such interest income from accelerated prepayment, repricing and other activity related to certain investment portfolio debt investments, in each case when compared to the same period in 2024.
Total cash expenses(5) increased $0.3 million, or 0.7%, to $44.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $43.9 million for the same period in 2024. This increase in total cash expenses was principally attributable to a $1.3 million increase in cash compensation expenses,(5) partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense. The increase in cash compensation expenses(5) is primarily related to (i) increased incentive compensation accruals, (ii) increased base compensation rates and (iii) increased headcount to support our growing investment portfolio and asset management activities. The decrease in interest expense is primarily related to a decreased weighted-average interest rate on our Credit Facilities (as defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below) due to decreases in benchmark index rates and decreases to the applicable margin rates related to the amendments of our Credit Facilities in April 2025, partially offset by an increase in average borrowings outstanding used to fund a portion of the growth of our investment portfolio.
Non-cash compensation expenses(5) increased $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 from the comparable period of the prior year, primarily driven by a $0.6 million increase in share-based compensation.
Our Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio (which includes non-cash compensation expenses(5) ) on an annualized basis was 1.4% for the third quarter of 2025, an increase from 1.3% for the third quarter of 2024.
Excise tax expense increased $0.4 million and NII related federal and state income and other tax expenses decreased $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, resulting in a net decrease in tax expenses included in NII of $0.2 million. The increase in excise tax is due to the increase in undistributed taxable income as of September 30, 2025 and the decrease in NII related federal and state income and other tax expenses is due to a decrease in taxable NII between the relevant periods.
The $2.2 million increase in NII and the $2.9 million increase in DNII(1) in the third quarter of 2025 from the comparable period of the prior year were both principally attributable to the increase in total investment income, partially offset by increased expenses, each as discussed above. NII per share increased by $0.01 per share for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, to $0.97 per share. DNII(1) per share for the third quarter of 2025 was consistent with the third quarter of 2024, at $1.03 per share for each period. NII and DNII(1) on a per share basis in the third quarter of 2025 include the impact of a 2.5% increase in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the third quarter of 2024, 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 plans. NII and DNII(1) on a per share basis in the third quarter of 2025 each include a net increase of $0.02 per share resulting from an increase in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature compared to the third quarter of 2024, as discussed above.
The $123.7 million net increase in net assets resulting from operations in the third quarter of 2025 represents a $0.3 million decrease from the third quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily the result of a $4.2 million decrease 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 decrease resulting from a net fair value increase of $43.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to a net fair value increase of $48.1 million in the prior year, partially offset by (i) a $2.2 million increase in NII as discussed above and (ii) a $1.8 million decrease in net tax provision on the net fair value change of our portfolio investments resulting from a net tax provision of $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to a net tax provision of $8.5 million in the prior year. The $43.9 million net fair value increase in the third quarter of 2025 was the result of net unrealized appreciation (including the reversal of net fair value depreciation in prior periods on the net realized loss in the quarter) of $63.0 million, partially offset by a net realized loss of $19.1 million. The $48.1 million net fair value increase in the third quarter of 2024 was the result of a net realized gain of $26.4 million and net unrealized appreciation of $21.7 million. The $19.1 million net realized loss from investments for the third quarter of 2025 was primarily the result of (i) $15.8 million of realized losses on the restructures of two private loan portfolio investments and (ii) $10.2 million of realized losses on the full exits of two LMM portfolio investments, partially offset by (i) a $6.0 million realized gain on the full exit of a LMM portfolio investment and (ii) a $0.6 million realized gain on the partial exit of an other portfolio investment.
The following table provides a summary of the total net unrealized appreciation of $63.0 million for the third quarter of 2025:

Investment Portfolio Information as of September 30, 2025(6)
The following table provides a summary of the investments in our LMM portfolio and private loan portfolio as of September 30, 2025:

LMM (a) Private Loan
------------------------ ------------------------
(dollars in millions)

__________________________
(a) We had equity ownership in all of our LMM portfolio companies, and our
average fully diluted equity ownership in those portfolio companies was
38%.
(b) The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the
effective interest rates for all debt investments as of September 30,
2025, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and
accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon
repayment of the debt instruments and any debt investments on non-accrual
status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each
applicable debt investment as of September 30, 2025.
(c) The average EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
Amortization) is calculated using a simple average for the LMM portfolio
and a weighted-average for the private loan portfolio. These calculations
exclude certain portfolio companies, including five LMM portfolio
companies and six 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 204% of the cost 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 3.0 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 3.0 to 1.0, respectively.(6)(7)
As of September 30, 2025, our investment portfolio also included:
-- Other portfolio investments in 32 entities, spread across 12 investment
managers, collectively totaling $122.8 million in fair value and $130.9
million in cost basis, which comprised 2.4% and 3.0% of our investment
portfolio at fair value and cost, respectively;
-- Middle market portfolio investments in 11 portfolio companies,
collectively totaling $89.9 million in fair value and $119.8 million in
cost basis, which comprised 1.7% and 2.8% of our investment portfolio at
fair value and cost, respectively; and
-- Our investment in the External Investment Manager, with a fair value of
$266.4 million and a cost basis of $29.5 million, which comprised 5.2%
and 0.7% of our investment portfolio at fair value and cost,
respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, investments on non-accrual status comprised 1.2% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 3.6% at cost, and our total portfolio investments at fair value were 118% 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 third quarter of 2025, the External Investment Manager earned $9.7 million of total fee income, an increase of $1.0 million from the third quarter of 2024. The fee income earned by the External Investment Manager in the third quarter of 2025 included (i) $5.6 million of management fee income, a decrease of $0.5 million from the third quarter of 2024, and (ii) incentive fees of $3.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million from the third quarter of 2024. In addition, we allocated $5.7 million of total expenses to the External Investment Manager, an increase of $0.4 million from the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in management fee income was primarily attributable to a decrease in the base management fees earned resulting from changes in the advisory agreement between the External Investment Manager and its client, MSC Income Fund, Inc., in conjunction with the listing of MSC Income Fund, Inc.'s shares on the New York Stock Exchange in January 2025, partially offset by an increase total assets managed for clients. The increase in incentive fees was attributable to the favorable performance and improved operating results from the assets managed for clients in the third quarter of 2025 relative to the third quarter of 2024. 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 $8.8 million, representing an increase of $0.9 million from the third quarter of 2024.
The External Investment Manager ended the third quarter of 2025 with total assets under management of $1.6 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(5) . 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(5) 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(5) 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
non-cash compensation expenses(5) do not result in a net cash impact to
Main Street upon settlement, and since tax expenses included in NII may
include excise tax expense, which is not solely attributable to NII, and
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) NII and DNII for each period in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025
necessary to present the comparable year-to-date amounts for the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 have been revised to include the impact
of excise tax and NII related federal and state income and other tax
expenses previously included within the total income tax provision. This
correction was determined to be immaterial to any impacted prior periods
and had no impact on net increases in net assets resulting from
operations or the related per share amounts.
(5) 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.
(6) Portfolio company financial information has not been independently
verified by Main Street.
(7) These credit statistics exclude portfolio companies on non-accrual status
and portfolio companies for which EBITDA is not a meaningful metric.
