Current report
Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $35.7 million, a $0.1 million increase from the $35.6 million for the corresponding period of 2025. A summary of the changes in the comparable period activity is as follows:
Current report
(a)The increase in interest expense was primarily related to (i) an increase in average borrowings outstanding used to fund a portion of the growth of the Fund’s Investment Portfolio and (ii) an increased weighted-average interest rate on the Fund’s unsecured debt obligations, driven by the issuance of the May 2029 Notes in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by a decreased weighted-average interest rate on the Credit Facilities (as defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below) due to decreases in benchmark index interest rates.

Net Investment Income
Current report
Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased 12% to $28.2 million, or $0.62 per share, compared to net investment income of $32.1 million, or $0.70 per share, for the corresponding period of 2025. The decrease in net investment income was primarily attributable to the increased expenses, partially offset by the increase in total investment income, each as discussed above. The per share decrease in net investment income reflects the decrease in net investment income after the impact of a decrease in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to shares repurchased by the Fund, partially offset by new shares issued through the MSC Income Offering and the dividend reinvestment plan, in each case since the beginning of the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in net investment income on a per share basis is after a $0.03 per share increase in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature, as discussed above.

In August 2026, the Fund’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan pursuant to which the Fund may repurchase up to $20.0 million of shares of its common stock for a period beginning in September 2026 and ending in February 2027, at times when the market price per share of the common stock is trading below the most recently reported NAV per share of the common stock by certain pre-determined levels. Pursuant to such authorization, the Fund intends to enter into a share repurchase plan (the “Fund Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan”) to facilitate the repurchase of up to the full $20.0 million of shares of its common stock authorized under the share repurchase program. The repurchases of any shares pursuant to the Fund Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan will be implemented in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
Current report
In August 2026, Main Street authorized a plan pursuant to which Main Street may purchase up to $20.0 million of shares of the Fund’s common stock in the open market during the same time period, pursuant to the terms of a share purchase plan (the “Main Street Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan”) that Main Street intends to enter into in connection with the Fund Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan. The purchases of any shares pursuant to the Main Street Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan will be implemented in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.
Current report
The terms and conditions of the Fund Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan and of the Main Street Rule 10b5-1 Purchase Plan will be substantially similar. Subject to the limitations under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act and market conditions, the Fund expects that the aggregate amount of shares (i) repurchased under the Fund Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan and (ii) purchased under the Main Street Rule 10b5-1 Purchase Plan on any single trading day will be split among the Fund and Main Street on a pro rata basis (or as close thereto as reasonably possible) based upon the proportion of the aggregate $40.0 million repurchase/purchase commitment represented by the respective share repurchase/purchase program. There is no assurance that the Fund will repurchase or Main Street will purchase any shares of the Fund’s common stock at any specific discount levels or in any specific amounts under the Fund Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan or the Main Street Rule 10b5-1 Purchase Plan, as applicable. There is also no assurance that the market price of the Fund’s shares of common stock, either absolutely or relative to NAV per share, will increase as a result of any share repurchases/purchases, or that the Fund Rule 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Plan or the Main Street Rule 10b5-1 Purchase Plan will enhance stockholder value over the long term.

(b)The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt investments as of March 31, 2026, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt investments and any debt investments on non-accrual status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each applicable debt investment as of March 31, 2026. The weighted-average annual effective yield on the Fund’s debt portfolio as of March 31, 2026, including debt investments on non-accrual status, was 10.1% for the Private Loan portfolio investments and 11.9% for the LMM portfolio investments. The weighted-average annual effective yield is not reflective of what an investor in shares of MSC Income’s common stock will realize on their investment because it does not reflect changes in the market value of MSC Income’s stock, MSC Income’s utilization of debt capital in its capital structure, MSC Income’s expenses or any sales load paid by an investor.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, MSC Income achieved an annualized total return on investments of 9.8% and 10.6%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, MSC Income achieved a total return on investments of 13.9%. Total return on investments equals the total interest, dividend and fee income plus realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of the Investment Portfolio divided by the average quarterly Investment Portfolio balance at cost, in each case for the specified period. MSC Income’s total return on investments is not reflective of what an investor in shares of MSC Income’s common stock will realize on their investment because it does not reflect changes in the market value of MSC Income’s stock, MSC Income’s utilization of debt capital in its capital structure, MSC Income’s expenses or any sales load paid by an investor.

Previous wording
The most significant determination inherent in the preparation of MSC Income’s consolidated financial statements is the valuation of the Investment Portfolio and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation. The Fund considers this determination to be a critical accounting estimate, given the significant judgments and subjective measurements required. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Fund’s Investment Portfolio valued at fair value represented 97% of its total assets. MSC Income is required to report its investments at fair value. The Fund follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“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 the Fund to assume that the portfolio investment is to be sold in the principal market to independent market participants, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact. See Note B.1. — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Valuation of the Investment Portfolio in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion of the Valuation Procedures (as defined below).

MSC Income records interest and dividend income on the accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income is recorded as dividends are declared by the portfolio company or at the point an obligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution. The Fund evaluates accrued interest and dividend income periodically for collectability. When a loan or debt security becomes 90 days or more past due, and if the Fund otherwise does not expect the debtor to be able to service its debt obligation, it will generally place the loan or debt security on non-accrual status and cease recognizing 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 debtor’s ability to service the debt obligation, or if a loan or debt security is sold or written off, the Fund removes it from non-accrual status. Generally, any interest payments received for investments on non-accrual status reduce the cost basis of the investment and are not recorded as income.

Previous wording
MSC Income holds certain debt and preferred equity instruments in its Investment Portfolio that contain PIK interest and cumulative dividend provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each debt agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the debt and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. Cumulative dividends are recorded as dividend income, and any dividends in arrears are added to the balance of the preferred equity investment. The actual collection of these dividends in arrears may be deferred until such time as the preferred equity is redeemed or sold. To maintain RIC tax treatment (see Note B.8. — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Income Taxes in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), these non-cash sources of income may need to be paid out to stockholders in the form of distributions, even though MSC Income may not have collected the PIK interest and cumulative dividends in cash. MSC Income stops accruing PIK interest and cumulative dividends and writes off any accrued and uncollected interest and dividends in arrears when it determines that such PIK interest and dividends in arrears are no longer collectible. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, (i) 7.3% and 5.8%, respectively, of MSC Income’s total investment income was attributable to PIK interest income not paid currently in cash and (ii) 0.8% and 0.2%, respectively, of MSC Income’s total investment income was attributable to cumulative dividend income not paid currently in cash.

As of December 31, 2025, investments on non-accrual status were $13.7 million at fair value and $49.0 million at cost and comprised 1.0% and 3.9% of MSC Income’s total Investment Portfolio at fair value and cost, respectively.

(a)Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable to the Adviser in arrears, if any, as of the end of each calendar year. This fee equals (a) 17.5% of the Fund’s incentive fee capital gain, which is calculated as the Fund’s (i) cumulative net realized gains (net of any related net income tax expense), minus (ii) cumulative unrealized depreciation (net of any related income tax benefit, and excluding any unrealized appreciation), minus (b) the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee, in each case from the MSC Income Listing date through the applicable calendar year ended. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, at the end of each reporting period, the Fund estimates the capital gains incentive fee and adjusts the accrual for the fee based upon a hypothetical liquidation of its investment portfolio at the then current fair value. Therefore, the calculation of the accrual equals (a) the Fund’s cumulative change in net fair value, including both (i) the cumulative net realized gain/loss and (ii) the cumulative net unrealized appreciation/depreciation (in both cases, net of any related cumulative net income tax expense or benefit), minus (b) the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee, in each case from the MSC Income Listing date through the applicable period ended. However, any capital gains incentive fee accrued related to the unrealized appreciation is neither earned nor payable to the Adviser until such time that it is realized, and assuming at the end of a calendar year such incentive fee capital gain exists excluding any cumulative unrealized appreciation (in each case, net of any related net income tax expense or benefits). If the calculation results in an increase in the accrual compared to the previous quarter, the Fund records an increase to the capital gains incentive fee accrual. If the calculation results in a decrease to the estimated incentive fee on capital gains when compared to the previous quarter, the accrual for the incentive fee on capital gains is reduced to the extent of such decrease. For the first quarter of 2026, the Fund reduced the accrual on the capital gains incentive fee by $0.6 million. See Note J — Related Party Transactions and Arrangementsin the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

If the calculation results in an increase in the accrual compared to the previous quarter, the Fund records an increase to the capital gains incentive fee accrual. If the calculation results in a decrease to the estimated incentive fee on capital gains when compared to the previous quarter, the accrual for the incentive fee on capital gains is reduced to the extent of such decrease. For the second quarter of 2026, the Fund increased the accrual on the capital gains incentive fee by $2.9 million. See Note I — Related Party Transactionsin the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(d)The reduction in the capital gains incentive fee accrual is due to the net fair value depreciation of the Fund’s investments in the first quarter of 2026.
Current wording
(d)The increase in incentive fee on capital gains is due to the net fair value appreciation of the Fund’s investments in the second quarter of 2026.

Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased to $16.2 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to $15.7 million, or $0.35 per share, in the corresponding period of 2025. The increase in net investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in total investment income, partially offset by an increase in total expenses, net of waivers, each as discussed above. Net investment income on a per share basis includes the impact of a 3% increase in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to shares issued through the MSC Income Offering and shares issued through the dividend reinvestment plan, partially offset by shares repurchased by the Fund, in each case since the beginning of the comparable period of the prior year. Net investment income on a per share basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 includes a $0.01 per share decrease in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature when compared to prior year.
Current wording
Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased to $12.0 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to $16.3 million, or $0.35 per share, in the corresponding period of 2025. The decrease in net investment income was principally attributable to an increase in total expenses, net of waivers, as discussed above. The per share decrease in net investment income reflects the decrease in net investment income after the impact of a decrease in the weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to shares repurchased by the Fund, partially offset by new shares issued through the dividend reinvestment plan, in each case since the beginning of the comparable period of the prior year. Net investment income on a per share basis for the three months ended June 30, 2026 includes a $0.03 per share increase in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature when compared to prior year, as discussed above.
Previous wording
Adjusted net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased 1% to $15.6 million, or $0.34 per share, compared to $15.7 million, or $0.35 per share, in the corresponding period of 2025. The decrease in adjusted net investment income was primarily due to the same factors discussed above for the change in net investment income, but excluding the impact of the decrease in the capital gains incentive fee accrual. The decrease in adjusted net investment income per share reflects (i) the decrease in adjusted net investment income after the impact of the increase in weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and (ii) a $0.01 per share decrease in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature, in both cases as discussed above.
Current wording
Adjusted net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased 8% to $14.9 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to $16.3 million, or $0.35 per share, in the corresponding period of 2025. The decrease in adjusted net investment income was primarily due to the same factors discussed above for the change in net investment income, but excluding the negative impact of the increase in the capital gains incentive fee accrual. The decrease in adjusted net investment income per share reflects the decrease in adjusted net investment income and the impact of the decrease in weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as discussed above. The decrease in adjusted net investment income on a per share basis is after a $0.03 per share increase in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature, as discussed above.

Set forth below is a comparison of the results of operations and a reconciliation of net investment income to adjusted net investment income and to adjusted net investment income before taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
(a)Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable to the Adviser in arrears, if any, as of the end of each calendar year. This fee equals (a) 17.5% of the Fund’s incentive fee capital gain, which is calculated as the Fund’s (i) cumulative net realized gains (net of any related net income tax expense), minus (ii) cumulative unrealized depreciation (net of any related income tax benefit, and excluding any unrealized appreciation), minus (b) the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee, in each case from the MSC Income Listing date through the applicable calendar year ended. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, at the end of each reporting period, the Fund estimates the capital gains incentive fee and adjusts the accrual for the fee based upon a hypothetical liquidation of its investment portfolio at the then current fair value. Therefore, the calculation of the accrual equals (a) 17.5% of the Fund’s cumulative change in net fair value, including both (i) the cumulative net realized gain/loss and (ii) the cumulative net unrealized appreciation/depreciation (in both cases, net of any related cumulative net income tax expense or benefit), minus (b) the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee, in each case from the MSC Income Listing date through the applicable period ended. However, any capital gains incentive fee accrued related to the unrealized appreciation is neither earned nor payable to the Adviser until such time that it is realized, and assuming at the end of a calendar year such incentive fee capital gain exists excluding any cumulative unrealized appreciation (in each case, net of any related net income tax expense or benefits). If the calculation results in an increase in the accrual compared to the previous quarter, the Fund records an increase to the capital gains incentive fee accrual. If the calculation results in a decrease to the estimated incentive fee on capital gains when compared to the previous quarter, the accrual for the incentive fee on capital gains is reduced to the extent of such decrease. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund increased the accrual on the capital gains incentive fee by$2.3 million. See Note I — Related Party Transactionsin the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(b)Adjusted net investment income is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of the capital gains incentive fee. MSC Income believes presenting adjusted net investment income and the related per share amounts is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing the Fund’s financial performance since the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee is based on realized gains and losses and unrealized fair value appreciation and depreciation, none of which are included in net investment income. However, adjusted net investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MSC Income’s financial performance. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to adjusted net investment income is detailed in the table above.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
(c)Adjusted net investment income before taxes is net investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of any tax expenses included in net investment income and the capital gains incentive fee. MSC Income believes presenting adjusted net investment income before taxes and the related per share amounts is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing the Fund’s financial performance since (i) the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee is based on realized gains and losses and unrealized fair value appreciation and depreciation, none of which are included in net investment income and (ii) tax expenses included in net investment income may include (a) excise tax expense, which is not solely attributable to net investment income, and (b) deferred taxes, which are not payable in the current period. However, adjusted net investment income before taxes is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income, net investment income before taxes or other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing MSC Income’s financial performance. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S. GAAP to adjusted net investment income before taxes is detailed in the table above.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
(a)The increase in interest income was principally attributable to higher average levels of income producing Investment Portfolio debt investments, partially offset by (i) a decrease in interest rates, primarily resulting from decreases in benchmark index interest rates on floating rate Investment Portfolio debt investments, and (ii) the negative impact from Investment Portfolio debt investments on non-accrual status.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
(b)The decrease in dividend income was primarily a result of a $2.4 million decrease in dividend income from the Fund’s LMM portfolio companies.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
(c)The increase in fee income was primarily due to an increase in fee income from the refinancing and prepayment of debt investments.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
(d)The increase in total investment income includes a net increase of $1.1 million in certain income considered less consistent or non-recurring, primarily due to (i) a $0.9 million increase in such fee income and (ii) a $0.3 million increase in such dividend income.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Adjusted net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased 5% to $30.5 million, or $0.67 per share, compared to $32.1 million, or $0.70 per share, in the corresponding period of 2025. The decrease in adjusted net investment income was primarily due to the same factors discussed above for the change in net investment income, but excluding the negative impact of the increase in the capital gains incentive fee accrual. The decrease in adjusted net investment income per share reflects the decrease in adjusted net investment income and the impact of the decrease in weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as discussed above. The decrease in adjusted net investment income on a per share basis is after a $0.03 per share increase in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature, as discussed above.

MSC Income’s income taxes include excise tax expense at MSIF and federal and state income and other tax expenses at the Taxable Subsidiaries. MSIF has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC. MSIF’s taxable income includes the taxable income generated by MSIF and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Structured Subsidiaries, which are treated as disregarded entities for tax purposes. As a result of its investment activities and dividend policy and activities, MSIF incurs federal excise tax on its estimated undistributed taxable income. The Taxable Subsidiaries incur federal and state income and other taxes related to net investment income resulting from the Taxable Subsidiaries’ investment activities. The excise tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was relatively unchanged when compared to the prior year as a result of relatively consistent levels of estimated undistributed taxable income at MSIF, which is taxed at a 4% rate. The increased net investment income related federal and state income and other tax expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the prior year is due to increases in taxable net investment income at the Taxable Subsidiaries.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
The Taxable Subsidiaries also incur taxes on realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation). These taxes will change over time due to changes in the valuations of portfolio investments and realized gains and losses, in each case, on investments owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries.
