HOUSTON, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its preliminary operating results for the first quarter of 2025 and its first quarter 2025 earnings release and conference call schedule.
In commenting on the Company's preliminary operating results for the first quarter of 2025, Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter, which resulted in another quarter of strong operating results, including a new record for net asset value per share for the eleventh consecutive quarter, favorable distributable net investment income per share and significant net unrealized appreciation, which resulted in an estimated return on equity of over 16% for the first quarter. We are pleased with our first quarter 2025 results and look forward to sharing the full details of our results in a few weeks."
Main Street's preliminary estimate of first quarter 2025 net investment income ("NII") is $1.00 to $1.02 per share and distributable net investment income ("DNII") is $1.06 to $1.08 per share.
Main Street's preliminary estimate of net asset value ("NAV") per share as of March 31, 2025 is $32.00 to $32.06, representing an increase of $0.35 to $0.41 per share, or 1.1% to 1.3%, from the NAV per share of $31.65 as of December 31, 2024, with this increase after the impact of the supplemental dividend paid in March 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 resulting from the net unrealized appreciation and the net realized loss on portfolio investments, including a decrease in the fair value of the wholly-owned asset manager, and the accretive impact of equity issuances during the quarter, partially offset by the net tax provision for the quarter.
As a result of Main Street's preliminary estimates of NII, net changes in the fair market value of its investment portfolio and the net tax provision as noted above, Main Street estimates that it generated a quarterly annualized return on equity of over 16% for the first quarter of 2025.
Main Street preliminarily estimates that investments on non-accrual status comprised 1.7% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and 4.5% at cost as of March 31, 2025.
The Company's first quarter 2025 operating activities include the following investment activity in the lower middle market ("LMM"), private loan and middle market investment strategies:
