The company successfully exited its investment in AR A, resulting in a substantial equity gain and plans to make a supplemental distribution of 40¢ per share in December.
Net investment income for the year rose by 12% to $46.1 million, providing ample coverage for the current common distribution.
The company maintains a conservative leverage position at 73% of NAV, with ample capacity in its bank facility to support future growth.
Gladstone Capital Corp (GLAD) continues to see a healthy level of attractive lower middle market financing opportunities, indicating potential for future growth and investment returns.

The company faces challenges with certain investments, such as DK I and EGS, which are underperforming and require increased management attention.
