FIRST QUARTER 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS

Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results; Declares a Second Quarter Base Dividend Per Share of $0.42

NEW YORK — May 5, 2026 — Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. (NYSE: TSLX, or the “Company”) today reported net investment income of $0.42 per share and net loss of $0.27 per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. These results correspond to an annualized return on equity (ROE) on net investment income and net income of 9.9% and -6.5%, respectively. Reported and adjusted metrics converged this quarter, as there was no impact related to capital gains incentive fees.

Reported net asset value (NAV) per share was $16.24 at March 31, 2026 as compared to NAV per share of $16.98 or an adjusted NAV per share of $16.97 at December 31, 2025 (which accounts for the impact of the $0.01 per share fourth quarter 2025 supplemental dividend). The main driver of this quarter’s NAV per share decline was $0.58 per share attributable to movement in fair value from market inputs. This included $0.40 per share from unrealized losses in the debt portfolio tied to credit spread widening seen in the broader market and $0.18 per share from lower market valuations in the Company’s limited equity portfolio.

The Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a second quarter 2026 base dividend of $0.42 per share to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2026, payable on June 30, 2026. The decision to revise the base dividend level was informed by what the Company believes is a responsible and sustainable dividend policy. The supplemental dividend policy remains in place to distribute over-earning to shareholders based on the existing framework.

On May 1, 2026, the Company completed an amendment to its Revolving Credit Facility, which extended the stated maturity date to May 1, 2031 for $1.525 billion of commitments. The pricing and other material terms of the facility remain unchanged.
