RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Investment Income
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, investment income was $27.3 million, which was attributable to $20.3 million from first lien secured debt, $0.4 million from second lien secured debt, $1.9 million from subordinated debt and $4.7 million from other investments, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, investment income was $34.2 million, which was attributable to $25.2 million from first lien secured debt, $2.0 million from second lien secured debt, $1.1 million from subordinated debt and $5.9 million from other investments, respectively. The decrease in investment income for three months ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to a decrease in our total portfolio size and a decrease in our weighted average yield on debt investments.
Expenses
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, expenses totaled $20.3 million and were comprised of $14.4 million of debt related interest and expenses, $3.9 million of base management fees, $1.3 million of general and administrative expenses and $0.7 million of provision for excise taxes, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, expenses totaled $21.2 million and were comprised of $11.7 million of debt-related interest and expenses, $4.3 million of base management fees, $2.8 million of incentive fees, $1.7 million of general and administrative expenses and $0.7 million of provision for excise taxes, respectively. The decrease in expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to a decrease in incentive fees offset by one-time credit facility amendment costs.
Net Investment Income
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net investment income totaled $7.0 million, or $0.11 per share, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, net investment income totaled $13.0 million, or $0.20 per share, respectively. The decrease in net investment income was primarily due to a decrease in investment income and partially offset by a decrease in expenses.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, net realized gains (losses) totaled $59.0 million and $(2.6) million, respectively. The change in 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 months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments $(57.1) million and $2.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, our net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(6.7) million and $50.4 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized depreciation on our investments was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Truist Credit Facility had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of less than $0.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Truist Credit Facility totaled $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) compared to the same periods in the prior period was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.
Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $9.0 million and $16.1 million or $0.14 per share and $0.25 per share, respectively. The decrease from net operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025, 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 cost of financing.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of interest expense, fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives and operations.
In December ...
