These estimates are subject to the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and are not a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Final results may differ materially from these estimates as a result of the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures, as well as any subsequent events, including the discovery of information affecting fair values of the Company’s portfolio investments as of March 31, 2024, arising between the date hereof and the completion of the Company’s financial statements and the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter then ended.

The preliminary financial estimates provided herein have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of the Company’s management. RSM US LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary financial data. Accordingly, RSM US LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

 

 (1) Supplemental information regarding core net investment income

Core net investment income (“Core NII”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that Core NII provides useful information to investors and management because it reflects the Company's financial performance excluding one-time or non-recurring investment income and expenses. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, there were no one-time or non-recurring investment income or expenses.
