Previous wording
Because we are internally managed, we do not pay any external investment advisory fees, but instead directly incur the operating costs associated with employing investment and portfolio management professionals. We believe that our internally managed structure provides us with a beneficial operating expense structure when compared to other publicly traded and privately held investment firms that are externally managed, and our internally managed structure allows us the opportunity to leverage our non-interest operating expenses as we grow our investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the ratio of our last twelve months ("LTM") operating expenses, excluding interest expense, as a percentage of our LTM average total assets was 1.36% and 1.69%, respectively.

The most significant determination inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is the valuation of our investment portfolio and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, our investment portfolio at fair value represented approximately 95.1% and 96.3% of our total assets, respectively. We are required to report our investments at fair value. We follow the provisions of ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires us to assume that the portfolio investment is to be sold in the principal market to independent market participants, which may be a hypothetical market. See Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of our investment portfolio valuation process and procedures.

Previous wording
Interest and dividend income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recognized on the date dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at the point an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. Discounts/premiums received to par on loans purchased are capitalized and accreted or amortized into income over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Upon the prepayment of a loan, any unamortized discount or premium is accelerated into interest income. In accordance with our valuation policy, accrued interest and dividend income is evaluated quarterly for collectability. When we do not expect the debtor to be able to service all of its debt or other obligations, we will generally establish a reserve against interest income receivable, thereby placing the loan or debt security on non-accrual status, and cease to recognize interest income on that loan or debt security until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due. If a loan or debt security’s status significantly improves regarding the portfolio company's ability to service debt or other obligations, it will be restored to accrual basis. As of June 30, 2026, investments on non-accrual status represented approximately 1.1% of our total investment portfolio's fair value and approximately 2.9% of its cost. As of March 31, 2026, investments on non-accrual status represented approximately 1.1% of our total investment portfolio's fair value and approximately 2.4% of its cost.

(b)The weighted average annual effective yield of debt investments is not the same as a return on investment for CSWC's shareholders, but rather relates to CSWC's investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of CSWC's and subsidiaries' fees and expenses. The weighted average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates during the quarter for all debt investments at cost as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively, including accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments. As of June 30, 2026, investments on non-accrual status represented approximately 1.1% of our total investment portfolio's fair value and approximately 2.9% of its cost. As of March 31, 2026, investments on non-accrual status represented approximately 1.1% of our total investment portfolio's fair value and approximately 2.4% of its cost. Weighted average annual effective yield is not a return to shareholders and is higher than what an investor in shares in our common stock will realize on its investment because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by an investor.

The composite measure of our financial performance in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is captioned “Net increase in net assets from operations” and consists of three elements. The first is “Net investment income,” which is the difference between income from interest, dividends and fees and our combined operating and interest expenses, net of applicable income taxes. The second element is “Net realized gain (loss) on investments, net of tax,” which is the difference between the proceeds received from the disposition of portfolio securities and their stated cost. The third element is the “Net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on investments, net of tax,” which is the net change in the market or fair value of our investment portfolio, compared with the stated cost. The “Net realized gain (loss) on investments before income tax” and “Net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on investments, net of tax” are directly related in that when an appreciated portfolio security is sold to realize a gain, a corresponding decrease in net unrealized appreciation occurs by transferring the gain associated with the transaction from being “unrealized” to being “realized.” Conversely, when a loss is realized on a depreciated portfolio security, an increase in net unrealized appreciation occurs.

The increase was primarily due to a 20.3% increase in the average monthly cost basis of debt investments held by us from $1,673.8 million to $2,013.6 million year-over-year, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield on debt investments from 11.8% to 10.9% year-over-year.

Interest income, PIK interest income, and amortization of purchase discounts and fees on an aggregate basis for the six months ended September 30, 2026 totaled $115.5 million as compared to $101.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a 22.7% increase in the average monthly cost basis of debt investments held by us from $1,699.8 million to $2,085.6 million year-over-year, partially offset by a decrease in weighted average yield on debt investments from 11.5% to 10.9% year-over-year. PIK interest income increased $3.8 million as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2025 due to an increase in the number of amendments allowing portfolio companies to elect to pay interest in-kind. Dividend income for the six months ended September 30, 2026 decreased $2.8 million as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2025 due to a decrease in distributions received from portfolio companies.
