“In a quarter where many parts of the market faced real pressure, Trinity's structure and disciplined underwriting produced results we are genuinely proud of. We funded $619 million and originated $709 million in new commitments — not by chasing yield, but by focusing on what we have always done: sourcing our own deals, setting our own terms, and staying selective. Against a backdrop that tested credit quality and origination discipline across the sector, we delivered strong results because our interests are aligned with our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2026 Operating Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, total investment income was $87.2 million, compared to $69.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective yield on the average debt investments at cost was 15.0% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 15.7% for the second quarter of 2025. Effective yields generally include the effects of fees and income accelerations attributed to early loan repayments and other one-time events, and may also fluctuate quarter-to-quarter depending on the amount of prepayment activity.

Total operating expenses and excise taxes, excluding interest expense, for the second quarter of 2026 were $16.4 million, compared to $16.6 million during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower professional fees and higher allocated expenses to the Company’s registered investment adviser subsidiary partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $24.8 million, compared to $18.0 million during the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in weighted average debt outstanding.

Net investment income was approximately $46.0 million, or $0.51 per share based on 90.5 million basic weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $34.8 million or $0.53 per share for the second quarter of 2025 based on 65.9 million basic weighted average shares outstanding.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s net unrealized depreciation totaled approximately $0.8 million, which included net unrealized depreciation of $10.6 million from its debt investments, appreciation of $8.5 million from its warrant investments, and appreciation of $1.0 million from its equity investments. Additionally, there was $0.3 million net unrealized appreciation attributable to foreign currency forward contracts.
