Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	1. ORGANIZATION PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. (the "Company", "we," "our" or "us") was organized as a Maryland corporation in October 2010. We are a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. On April 14, 2022, trading of the Company’s common stock commenced on the New York Stock Exchange after the Company voluntarily withdrew the principal listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Our principal investment objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation while seeking to preserve capital. We seek to achieve our principal investment objective by investing primarily in floating rate loans, and other investments made to U.S. middle-market private companies whose debt is rated below investment grade. Floating rate loans pay interest at variable rates, which are determined periodically, on the basis of a floating base lending rate such as SOFR, with or without a floor, plus a fixed spread. Under normal market conditions, we generally expect that at least 80% of the value of our managed assets will be invested in floating rate loans and other investments bearing a variable rate of interest, which may include, from time to time, variable rate derivative instruments. We generally expect that first lien secured debt will represent at least 65% of our overall portfolio. We generally expect to invest up to 35% of our overall portfolio opportunistically in other types of investments, including second lien secured debt, subordinated debt, and, to a lesser extent, equity investments. We execute our investment strategy directly and through our wholly owned subsidiaries, our unconsolidated joint venture and unconsolidated limited partnership. The term “subsidiary” means entities that primarily engage in investment activities in securities or other assets and are wholly owned by us. The Company does not intend to create or acquire primary control of any entity which primarily engages in investment activities of securities or other assets other than entities wholly owned by the Company. We comply with the provisions of Section 18 of the 1940 Act governing capital structure and leverage on an aggregate basis with our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries comply with the provisions of Section 17 of the 1940 Act related to affiliated transactions and custody. To the extent that the Company forms a subsidiary advised by an investment adviser other than the Investment Adviser, the investment adviser to such subsidiaries will comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act relating to investment advisory contracts, including but not limited to, Section 15, as if it were an investment adviser to the Company under Section 2(a)(20) of the 1940 Act. We have entered into an investment management agreement, (the "Investment Management Agreement"), with PennantPark Investment Advisers LLC (the "Investment Adviser"), an external adviser that manages our day-to-day operations. We have also entered into an administration agreement, (the "Administration Agreement"), with PennantPark Investment Administration LLC (the "Administrator"), which provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate. Funding I, our wholly owned subsidiary and a special purpose entity, was organized in Delaware as a limited liability company in May 2011. We formed Funding I in order to establish a credit facility. The Investment Adviser serves as the collateral manager to Funding I and has irrevocably directed that any management fee owed with respect to such services is to be paid to us so long as the Investment Adviser remains the collateral manager. This arrangement does not increase our consolidated management fee. We have formed and expect to continue to form certain taxable subsidiaries, including the Taxable Subsidiary, which are subject to tax as corporations. These taxable subsidiaries allow us to hold equity securities of certain portfolio companies treated as pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes while facilitating our ability to qualify as a RIC under the Code. In May 2017, we and a subsidiary of Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR), Trinity Universal Insurance Company, ("Kemper"), formed PSSL, an unconsolidated joint venture. PSSL invests primarily in middle-market and other corporate debt securities consistent with our strategy. PSSL is a Delaware limited liability company. See Note 4. In August 2025, we and Hamilton Lane ("HL") formed PSSL II, an unconsolidated joint venture. PSSL II invests primarily in middle-market and other corporate debt securities consistent with our strategy. PSSL II is a Delaware limited liability company. See Note 4. In September 2019, the Securitization Issuers completed the Debt Securitization. The 2031 Asset-Backed Debt was secured by a carefully constructed portfolio of the Securitization Issuer consisting primarily of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans. The 2031 Asset-Backed Debt was to mature on October 15, 2031. On the closing date of the Debt Securitization, in consideration of our transfer to the Securitization Issuer of the initial closing date loan portfolio, which included loans distributed to us by certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries, the Securitization Issuer transferred to us 100% of the Preferred Shares of the Securitization Issuer, 100% of the Class D Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes issued by the Securitization Issuer, and a portion of the net cash proceeds received from the sale of the 2031 Asset-Backed Debt. See Note 10. In July 2024, the 2031 Asset-Backed Debt was refinanced through a $351.0 million debt securitization in the form of a collateralized loan obligation, or the "2036-R Asset-Backed Debt". The Company initially retained $85.0 million of the debt securitization. In October 2025, the Company sold $21.0 million of the previously retained debt securitization. The 2036-R Asset-Backed Debt is secured by a carefully constructed portfolio of primarily middle market loans and participation interest in middle market loans. The 2036-R Asset-Backed Debt matures in July 2036. On February 22, 2024, the 2036 Securitization Issuer completed the 2036 Debt Securitization. The 2036 Asset-Backed Debt is secured by a carefully constructed portfolio of the 2036-Securitization Issuer consisting primarily of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans. The 2036 Asset-Backed Debt matures in April 2036. On the closing date of the 2036 Debt Securitization, in consideration of our transfer to the 2036 Securitization Issuer of the initial closing date loan portfolio it included loans distributed to us by certain wholly owned subsidiaries. See Note 10. In February 2026, the 2036 Asset-Backed Debt was refinanced through a $356.5 million debt securitization in the form of a collateralized loan obligation, or the "2038-R Asset-Backed Debt". The Company retained $69.5 million of the debt securitization. The replacement debt matures in April 2038. The replacement debt was 100% funded at closing. The 2038-R Asset-Backed Debt is secured by a carefully constructed portfolio of the 2038-R Securitization Issuer consisting primarily of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans. See Note 10. In February 2025, the 2037 Securitization Issuer completed a $474.6 million term debt securitization (the “2037 Debt Securitization”). The Company initially retained $85.1 million of subordinated notes and $28.5 million of BBB-(sf) Class D Notes of the debt securitization issued by the 2037 Securitization Issuer. In November 2025, the Company sold $28.5 million of the previously retained Class D Notes. The 2037 Asset-Backed Debt is secured by a carefully constructed portfolio of the 2037-Securitization Issuer consisting primarily of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans. The 2037 Asset-Backed Debt matures on April 20, 2037. See Note 10. In March 2021 and October 2021, we issued $100.0 million and $85.0 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes at a public offering price per note of 99.4% and 101.5% respectively. Interest on the 2026 Notes is paid semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, at a rate of 4.25% per year, commencing October 1, 2021. The effective interest rate is 4.15%. The 2026 Notes mature on April 1, 2026 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option subject to a make-whole premium if redeemed more than three months prior to maturity. The 2026 Notes are our general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 2026 Notes are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of our subsidiaries, financing vehicles, or similar facilities. We do not intend to list the 2026 Notes on any securities exchange or automated dealer quotation system. The 2026 Notes were repaid in full on April 1, 2026. In March 2026, we issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Notes at a public offering price per note of 99.3%. Interest on the 2029 Notes is paid semiannually on March 4 and September 4 of each year, at a rate of 6.75% per year, commencing September 4, 2026. The effective interest rate is 7.00%. The 2029 Notes mature on March 4, 2029 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option subject to make whole premium if redeemed more than three months prior to maturity. The 2029 Notes, are our general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured indebtedness. The 2029 Notes are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of any of our subsidiaries, financing vehicles, or similar facilities. We do not intend to list the 2029 Notes on any securities exchange or automated dealer quotation system. In April 2021, we formed PennantPark-TSO Senior Loan Fund LP ("PTSF"), an unconsolidated limited partnership, organized as a Delaware limited liability partnership. We sold $81.4 million in investments to a wholly owned subsidiary of PTSF in exchange for cash in the amount of $69.5 million and an $11.9 million equity interest in PTSF representing 23.08% of the total outstanding Class A Units of PTSF. We recognized $0.4 million of realized gain upon the formation of PTSF. In August 2025, in connection with the winding down of PTSF, an unconsolidated limited partnership, the Company acquired a portfolio of approximately $250 million of assets, including from TSO Puma SPV, LLC, an affiliate of Towerbrook Capital Partners. This portfolio includes assets with which the Company's Investment Adviser is familiar. The average spread and credit statistics are generally in-line with PFLT's existing portfolio. The Company acquired these assets at their most recent fair market value as of the date of the transaction. As of August 27, 2025, PFLT was the only remaining partner in PTSF, and as a result the entity became a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary as of that date. On February 4, 2022, we formed PFLT Investment Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings II”), as a wholly owned subsidiary. On December 31, 2022, we contributed 100% of our interests in PFLT Investment Holdings, LLC ( “Holdings”) to Holdings II. Effective as of January 1, 2024, Holdings II elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On January 3, 2024, we purchased an equity interest in Holdings from Holdings II and Holdings became a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company and Holdings II entered into a limited liability company agreement with respect to Holdings that provides for certain payments and the sharing of income, gain, loss and deductions attributable to Holdings’ investments. In July 2024, the Company established a $500.0 million at-the-market offering program (the "2024 ATM Program") and terminated the existing $250.0 million at-the-market offering program (the "2022 ATM Program" and, together "with the 2024 ATM Program, the "ATM Programs"). 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 Sales Agents (as defined below) and inclusive of proceeds from the Investment Adviser to ensure that all shares were sold at or above NAV, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, we did not incur any legal and other offering costs associated with establishing the ATM Programs. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $0.2 million and $0.2 million of legal and other offering costs associated with establishing the ATM Programs. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, we had $192.2 million and $192.2 million, respectively, of our common stock available to be sold under the ATM Programs. The Investment Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the "Commodity Exchange Act"). The Investment Adviser intends to continue to affirm the exclusion on an annual basis and therefore, does not expect to be subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.

1. ORGANIZATION

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. (the "Company", "we," "our" or "us") was organized as a Maryland corporation in October 2010. We are a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. On April 14, 2022, trading of the Company’s common stock commenced on the New York Stock Exchange after the Company voluntarily withdrew the principal listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Our principal investment objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation while seeking to preserve capital. We seek to achieve our principal investment objective by investing primarily in floating rate loans, and other investments made to U.S. middle-market private companies whose debt is rated below investment grade. Floating rate loans pay interest at variable rates, which are determined periodically, on the basis of a floating base lending rate such as SOFR, with or without a floor, plus a fixed spread. Under normal market conditions, we generally expect that at least 80% of the value of our managed assets will be invested in floating rate loans and other investments bearing a variable rate of interest, which may include, from time to time, variable rate derivative instruments. We generally expect that first lien secured debt will represent at least 65% of our overall portfolio. We generally expect to invest up to 35% of our overall portfolio opportunistically in other types of investments, including second lien secured debt, subordinated debt, and, to a lesser extent, equity investments.

We execute our investment strategy directly and through our wholly owned subsidiaries, our unconsolidated joint venture and unconsolidated limited partnership. The term “subsidiary” means entities that primarily engage in investment activities in securities or other assets and are wholly owned by us. The Company does not intend to create or acquire primary control of any entity which primarily engages in investment activities of securities or other assets other than entities wholly owned by the Company. We comply with the provisions of Section 18 of the 1940 Act governing capital structure and leverage on an aggregate basis with our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries comply with the provisions of Section 17 of the 1940 Act related to affiliated transactions and custody. To the extent that the Company forms a subsidiary advised by an investment adviser other than the Investment Adviser, the investment adviser to such subsidiaries will comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act relating to investment advisory contracts, including but not limited to, Section 15, as if it were an investment adviser to the Company under Section 2(a)(20) of the 1940 Act.

We have entered into an investment management agreement, (the "Investment Management Agreement"), with PennantPark Investment Advisers LLC (the "Investment Adviser"), an external adviser that manages our day-to-day operations. We have also entered into an administration agreement, (the "Administration Agreement"), with PennantPark Investment Administration LLC (the "Administrator"), which provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

Funding I, our wholly owned subsidiary and a special purpose entity, was organized in Delaware as a limited liability company in May 2011. We formed Funding I in order to establish a credit facility. The Investment Adviser serves as the collateral manager to Funding I and has irrevocably directed that any management fee owed with respect to such services is to be paid to us so long as the Investment Adviser remains the collateral manager. This arrangement does not increase our consolidated management fee.

We have formed and expect to continue to form certain taxable subsidiaries, including the Taxable Subsidiary, which are subject to tax as corporations. These taxable subsidiaries allow us to hold equity securities of certain portfolio companies treated as pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes while facilitating our ability to qualify as a RIC under the Code.

In May 2017, we and a subsidiary of Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR), Trinity Universal Insurance Company, ("Kemper"), formed PSSL, an unconsolidated joint venture.

In April 2021, we formed PennantPark-TSO Senior Loan Fund LP ("PTSF"), an unconsolidated limited partnership, organized as a Delaware limited liability partnership. We sold $81.4 million in investments to a wholly owned subsidiary of PTSF in exchange for cash in the amount of $69.5 million and an $11.9 million equity interest in PTSF representing 23.08% of the total outstanding Class A Units of PTSF. We recognized $0.4 million of realized gain upon the formation of PTSF.

In August 2025, in connection with the winding down of PTSF, an unconsolidated limited partnership, the Company acquired a portfolio of approximately $250 million of assets, including from TSO Puma SPV, LLC, an affiliate of Towerbrook Capital Partners. This portfolio includes assets with which the Company's Investment Adviser is familiar. The average spread and credit statistics are generally in-line with PFLT's existing portfolio. The Company acquired these assets at their most recent fair market value as of the date of the transaction. As of August 27, 2025, PFLT was the only remaining partner in PTSF, and as a result the entity became a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary as of that date.

On February 4, 2022, we formed PFLT Investment Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings II”), as a wholly owned subsidiary. On December 31, 2022, we contributed 100% of our interests in PFLT Investment Holdings, LLC ( “Holdings”) to Holdings II. Effective as of January 1, 2024, Holdings II elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On January 3, 2024, we purchased an equity interest in Holdings from Holdings II and Holdings became a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company and Holdings II entered into a limited liability company agreement with respect to Holdings that provides for certain payments and the sharing of income, gain, loss and deductions attributable to Holdings’ investments.

In July 2024, the Company established a $500.0 million at-the-market offering program (the "2024 ATM Program") and terminated the existing $250.0 million at-the-market offering program (the "2022 ATM Program" and, together "with the 2024 ATM Program, the "ATM Programs").

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 Sales Agents (as defined below) and inclusive of proceeds from the Investment Adviser to ensure that all shares were sold at or above NAV, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, we did not incur any legal and other offering costs associated with establishing the ATM Programs. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $0.2 million and $0.2 million of legal and other offering costs associated with establishing the ATM Programs. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, we had $192.2 million and $192.2 million, respectively, of our common stock available to be sold under the ATM Programs.

The Investment Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the "Commodity Exchange Act"). The Investment Adviser intends to continue to affirm the exclusion on an annual basis and therefore, does not expect to be subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.
