Announces Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and Conference Call Schedule
HOUSTON, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its preliminary operating results for the second quarter of 2026 and its second quarter 2026 earnings release and conference call schedule.
In commenting on the Company's preliminary operating results for the second quarter of 2026, Dwayne L. Hyzak, Main Street's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter, which resulted in another strong quarter of operating results, including favorable distributable net investment income before taxes and an increase to our net asset value per share for the sixteenth consecutive quarter. The increase in net asset value per share was primarily driven by significant net fair value appreciation on our lower middle market and private loan investment portfolios, including the benefit of another material realized gain in our lower middle market portfolio. Our strong second quarter results are highlighted by a favorable estimated return on equity of over 18% for the quarter. We look forward to sharing the full details of our second quarter 2026 results in a few weeks."
Preliminary Estimates of Second Quarter 2026 Results
Main Street's preliminary estimate of second quarter 2026 net investment income ("NII") is $0.95 to $0.99 per share, distributable net investment income ("DNII")(1) is $1.02 to $1.06 per share and DNII before taxes(2) is $1.06 to $1.10 per share.
Main Street's preliminary estimate of net asset value ("NAV") per share as of June 30, 2026 is $33.88 to $33.96, representing an increase of $0.42 to $0.50 per share, or 1.2% to 1.5%, from the NAV per share of $33.46 as of March 31, 2026, with this increase after the impact of the supplemental dividend paid in June 2026 of $0.30 per share. The estimated NAV per share increase is primarily due to the net fair value appreciation on the investment portfolio and the accretive impact of equity issuances, partially offset by a decrease due to the issuance of restricted stock, the total dividends per share paid in the second quarter in excess of NII per share and the net tax provision. The net fair value appreciation on the investment portfolio is primarily the result of net fair value appreciation on the lower middle market ("LMM") investment portfolio, private loan investment portfolio and other portfolio investments, partially offset by fair value depreciation of the wholly-owned external investment manager.
