Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The company defines "Adjusted Net Investment Income" as a non-GAAP measure excluding capital gains incentive fee expenses. This metric is intended to show operations exclusive of fees related to realized and unrealized gains/losses.
Risks and Contingencies: Management explicitly states that these figures are preliminary estimates and inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ materially due to final adjustments. The independent auditor, RSM US LLP, has not audited or reviewed this data and disclaims any responsibility for it.
