Management Comments on Second Quarter Performance

“In Q2, NMFC once again delivered its dividend, despite tight credit spreads in the market generally,” said Steven B. Klinsky, NMFC Chairman and New Mountain Capital CEO. “We remain committed to maintaining credit discipline and serving our shareholders.”

John R. Kline, NMFC CEO, added: “We continued to advance our strategic priorities for NMFC of both increasing the percentage of senior-oriented assets to nearly 80% and building more position diversification across the portfolio. Additionally, NMFC repurchased $9.6 million worth of shares in the quarter, demonstrating our belief that the stock is undervalued at current trading levels.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity5

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s NAV1 was $1,305.9 million and its portfolio had a fair value of $3,014.2 million of investments in 124 portfolio companies, with a weighted average YTM at Cost6 of approximately 10.6%. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company originated $122.2 million of investments2, offset by $141.4 million of repayments2 and $13.7 million of asset sales10.

Portfolio and Asset Quality

The Company’s focus is on defensive growth businesses that generally exhibit the following characteristics: (i) acyclicality, (ii) sustainable secular growth drivers, (iii) niche market dominance and high barriers to competitive entry, (iv) recurring revenue and strong free cash flow, (v) flexible cost structures and (vi) seasoned management teams.

The Company monitors the performance and financial trends of its portfolio companies on at least a quarterly basis. The Company attempts to identify any developments within the portfolio company, the industry, or the macroeconomic environment that may alter any material element of the Company’s original investment strategy. As described more fully in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the portfolio monitoring procedures are designed to provide a simple, yet comprehensive analysis of the Company’s portfolio companies based on their operating performance and underlying business characteristics, which in turn forms the basis of its Risk Rating. The Risk Rating is expressed in categories of Green, Yellow, Orange and Red with Green reflecting an investment that is in-line with or above expectations and Red reflecting an investment performing materially below expectations.
