(together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” “CGBD” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CGBD) today announced its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2026. Alex Chi, CGBD’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We continued to execute CGBD’s strategy in the third quarter, resulting in increased earnings and a stable NAV. Given the uncertain market backdrop, we were selective in deploying new capital and continue to leverage the OneCarlyle platform to capture differentiated opportunities across the private credit market. Looking ahead to the end of the year, we remain focused on delivering disciplined credit performance and continuing to scale our joint ventures.” For the third quarter of 2026, we reported $0.36 per common share of Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Investment Income, a non-GAAP financial measure described below. Net asset value per common share increased by 0.3% for the third quarter to $15.65 from $15.61 as of June 30, 2026. The total fair value of our investments was $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2026. Dividends On October 28, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.35 per share. The dividend is payable on January 19, 2027 to common stockholders of record on December 31, 2026. Conference Call The Company will host a conference call at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Friday, November 6, 2026 to discuss these financial results. The conference call will be available via public webcast via a link on our website and will also be available on our website soon after the call’s completion. Non-GAAP Financial Measures On a supplemental basis, we are disclosing Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Common Share, which is calculated and presented on a basis other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). We use this non-GAAP financial measure internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance, and we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate our ongoing results and trends and to review our performance without giving effect to (i) the amortization/accretion resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired and accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and (ii) the one-time purchase or non-recurring investment income and expense events, including the effects on incentive fees. In addition, the Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measure described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare the Company’s financial results with those of other business development companies that have not had similar one-time or non-recurring events. The presentation of this non-GAAP measure is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation. Starting in the first quarter of 2025, the adjustment to net investment income per common share to determine Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Common Share represents the difference between GAAP amortization under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and management’s non-GAAP measure of amortization related to assets acquired in connection with the CSL III merger on March 27, 2025, and the remaining interest in Middle Market Credit Fund II on February 11, 2025. This adjustment reflects management’s view of the economic yield on the acquired assets and is consistent with our internal evaluation of performance. Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc.
