WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Results and Declares Quarterly Distribution of $0.25 Per Share

​

NEW YORK, August 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. (“WhiteHorse Finance” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WHF) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. In addition, the Company’s board of directors has declared a distribution of $0.25 per share with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The distribution will be payable on October 5, 2026 to stockholders of record as of September 21, 2026.

Stuart Aronson, WhiteHorse Finance’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the second quarter, we continued to execute on the priorities we outlined last quarter, including actively managing previously identified credit situations, maintaining discipline in new originations, and repurchasing shares at a discount to NAV. Our results this quarter reflected a return to net asset value growth, driven by favorable portfolio markups and the accretive impact of our share repurchase program. The majority of our portfolio remained stable, and we selectively deployed capital into new investments while keeping leverage below our target range. We remain focused on preserving liquidity, managing risk, and investing selectively. Our priority continues to be protecting shareholder value while positioning the portfolio for continued improvement over time.”

Recent Developments:

​

On August 10, 2026, WhiteHorse Advisers voluntarily agreed to waive and reduce the incentive fee on net investment income from its stated annual rate of 20.00% to 17.50% for the next fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026.
