Main Street Announces Preliminary Estimate of Second Quarter 2025
Operating Results
Announces Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Release and Conference Call Schedule
HOUSTON – July 17, 2025 – Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) (“Main Street”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its preliminary operating results for the second quarter
of 2025 and its second quarter 2025 earnings release and conference call schedule.
In commenting on the Company’s preliminary operating results for the second quarter of 2025,
Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our
performance in the second quarter, which resulted in another quarter of strong operating results,
including favorable distributable net investment income per share and a new record for net asset
value per share for the twelfth consecutive quarter, primarily driven by a significant net fair
value increase and including the benefits of the largest realized gain in Main Street’s history. Our
second quarter results continued our positive performance over the last few quarters and resulted
in an estimated return on equity of over 17% for the quarter. We look forward to sharing the full
details of our results in a few weeks.”
Preliminary Estimates of Second Quarter 2025 Results
Main Street’s preliminary estimate of second quarter 2025 net investment income (“NII”) is
$0.98 to $1.00 per share and distributable net investment income (“DNII”) is $1.05 to $1.07 per
share.(1) The preliminary estimates of NII and DNII include $0.05 to $0.06 per share of NII
related federal and state income, excise and other tax expenses.(2)
Main Street’s preliminary estimate of net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of June 30, 2025 is
$32.27 to $32.33, representing an increase of $0.24 to $0.30 per share, or 0.7% to 0.9%, from the
NAV per share of $32.03 as of March 31, 2025, with this increase after the impact of the
supplemental dividend paid in June 2025 of $0.30 per share. The estimated increase in NAV per
share is primarily due to the net fair value increase on the investment portfolio and the accretive
impact of equity issuances, partially offset by a decrease due to the issuance of restricted stock.
The net fair value increase on the investment portfolio is the result of net fair value increases on
the wholly-owned asset manager and the lower middle market (“LMM”) investment portfolio,
partially offset by net fair value decreases on the private loan and middle market investment
portfolios.
As a result of Main Street’s preliminary estimates of NII and the net changes in the fair value of
its investment portfolio as noted above, Main Street estimates that it generated a quarterly
annualized return on equity of over 17% for the second quarter of 2025.(3)
Main Street preliminarily estimates that investments on non-accrual status comprised 2.1% of the
total investment portfolio at fair value and 5.0% at cost as of June 30, 2025.
Investment Portfolio Activity
The Company’s second quarter 2025 operating activities include the following investment
activity in the LMM, private loan and middle market investment strategies:
•$209.3 million in total LMM portfolio investments, which after aggregate repayments of
debt investments and return of invested equity capital resulted in a net increase of $108.4
million in the total cost basis of the LMM investment portfolio;
•$188.6 million in total private loan portfolio investments, which after aggregate
repayments and sales of debt investments, return of invested equity capital and a decrease
in cost basis due to realized losses on private loan portfolio investments resulted in a net
decrease of $34.9 million in the total cost basis of the private loan investment portfolio;
and
•a net decrease of $17.6 million in the total cost basis of the middle market investment
portfolio.

and regulations.
The preliminary estimates of second quarter 2025 financial information and results furnished

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 June 30, 2025 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

Endnotes
(1) Distributable net investment income is net investment income 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 distributable net investment income per share is useful and
appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance, since
share-based compensation does not require settlement in cash and deferred
compensation expense or benefit does not result in a net cash impact to Main Street
upon settlement. However, distributable net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP
measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income
and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead,
distributable net investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such
U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing Main Street’s financial performance. In order to
reconcile estimated distributable net investment income per share to estimated net
investment income per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the second quarter of
2025, an estimated $0.06 to $0.07 per share of non-cash compensation expenses are
added back to calculate estimated distributable net investment income per share.
(2) Main Street’s preliminary estimate of second quarter 2025 NII and DNII is $1.04 to
$1.06 per share and $1.10 to $1.12 per share, respectively, before NII related federal
and state income, excise and other tax expenses.
(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 August 8,
2025 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.
