Management Commentary
Adjusted Net Investment Income totaled $6.7 million or $0.31 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This compares with $5.5 million or $0.25 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Total investment income increased by $0.4 million as a result of an increase in average invested assets during the quarter and an increase in other income as part of a portfolio company realization during the quarter. This increase was partially offset by an increase in interest and other debt financing expenses of $0.3 million associated with an increase in average debt outstanding during the quarter. Additionally, during the quarter, incentive fees were limited by $1.0 million as a result of the total return requirement in the Company's incentive fee structure. Please refer to the Company’s Form 10-Q for additional information on the incentive fee calculation. See Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income discussion below.
NAV decreased by $0.10 per share, or 1.1%, to $199.3 million or $9.20 per share as of June 30, 2024, compared to $201.5 million or $9.30 per share as of March 31, 2024. The decrease in NAV this quarter was primarily the result of net unrealized losses attributable to certain portfolio companies, partially offset by NII in excess of the dividend paid during the quarter.
During the quarter, the Company's debt-to-equity leverage decreased from 1.60 times debt-to-equity to 1.54 times debt-to-equity. While average leverage was slightly up during the quarter, leverage at quarter end decreased as a result of paydowns of the revolving credit facility with proceeds from investment sales and paydowns which were more heavily weighted towards the end of the quarter. We continue to focus on managing our investment portfolio and selectively redeploying capital resulting from future repayments.

Portfolio Review
The Company had debt and equity investments in 94 portfolio companies, with a total fair value of $485.8 million as of June 30, 2024, as compared to debt and equity investments in 98 portfolio companies, with a total fair value of $500.9 million, as of March 31, 2024. The Company’s portfolio consists primarily of first lien loans, representing 81.1% of the portfolio as of June 30, 2024, and 81.9% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2024. As of both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the weighted average contractual and effective yield on the Company’s debt and preferred equity investments was 11.9% and 11.9%, respectively. Portfolio yield is calculated only on the portion of the portfolio that has a contractual coupon and therefore does not account for dividends on equity investments (other than preferred equity). As of June 30, 2024, loans and preferred equity investments on non-accrual status represented 1.9% of the Company’s total investments at fair value.
Financial Review
NII for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 totaled $6.6 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.25 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Adjusted Net Investment Income was $6.7 million, or $0.31 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.25 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Total investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 totaled $15.6 million, compared to $15.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Investment income increased by $0.4 million, as a result of the increase in the size of the Company’s average investment portfolio during the quarter and an increase in other income as part of a portfolio company realization during the quarter.
Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $9.1 million, compared to $9.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Excluding the impact of the incentive fee limitation of $(1.0) million, total expenses increased by $0.4 million primarily due to an increase in interest and other debt financing expenses and a slight increase in income taxes, including excise tax.
Net gain (loss) was $(3.3) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $(2.3) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. This net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to unrealized mark-to-market losses attributable to certain portfolio companies that have underlying credit performance concerns that were still held as of quarter end, partially offset by a slight gain on the remainder of the portfolio. The Company's average portfolio mark decreased by 0.9%, from 95.3% of amortized cost as of March 31, 2024 to 94.4% of amortized cost as of June 30, 2024.
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $3.3 million, or $0.15 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.15 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $177.8 million of debt outstanding on its revolving credit facility and $130.0 million of debt outstanding on its 2026 Notes. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $77.2 million available for additional borrowings on its revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base availability.
MRCC Senior Loan Fund
MRCC Senior Loan Fund I, LLC ("SLF") is a joint venture with Life Insurance Company of the Southwest (“LSW”), an affiliate of National Life Insurance Company. SLF invests primarily in senior secured loans to middle market companies in the United States. The Company and LSW have each committed $50.0 million of capital to the joint venture. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had made net capital contributions of $42.7 million in SLF with a fair value of $33.1 million, as compared to net capital contributions of $42.7 million in SLF with a fair value of $33.0 million as of March 31, 2024. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company received dividend income from SLF of $0.9 million, consistent with the $0.9 million received during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. SLF’s underlying investments are loans to middle-market borrowers that are generally larger than the rest of MRCC’s portfolio which is focused on lower middle-market companies. SLF’s average mark on the underlying investment portfolio decreased slightly during the quarter, from 88.9% of amortized cost as of March 31, 2024, to 88.3% of amortized cost as of June 30, 2024.
3

As of June 30, 2024, SLF had total assets of $117.3 million (including investments at fair value of $109.7 million), total liabilities of $51.1 million (including borrowings under the $110.0 million secured revolving credit facility with Capital One, N.A. (the “SLF Credit Facility”) of $50.8 million) and total members’ capital of $66.2 million. As of March 31, 2024, SLF had total assets of $124.9 million (including investments at fair value of $116.4 million), total liabilities of $58.9 million (including borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility of $58.0 million) and total members’ capital of $66.0 million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted Net Investment Income
On a supplemental basis, the Company discloses Adjusted Net Investment Income (including on a per share basis) which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“non-GAAP”). Adjusted Net Investment Income represents NII, excluding the net capital gains incentive fee and income taxes. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company. The management agreement with the Company’s advisor provides that a capital gains incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized capital gains) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized and unrealized capital losses for such year. Management believes that Adjusted Net Investment Income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any net capital gains incentive fee as NII does not include gains associated with the capital gains incentive fee.
The following tables provide a reconciliation from NII (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted Net Investment Income for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

Adjusted Net Investment Income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted Net Investment Income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
