In its latest earnings report for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, PennantPark Investment Corporation announced a net investment income of $11.4 million, or $0.18 per share, and declared distributions of $0.24 per share. The company’s investment portfolio totaled $1,213.6 million, with net assets of $488.1 million.
Key financial metrics from the report include a weighted average yield on debt investments of 12.0% and a regulatory debt-to-equity ratio of 1.29x. The company reported net realized losses of $27.7 million and net unrealized appreciation of $27.1 million for the quarter. Portfolio activity included $176.8 million in new investments and $263.1 million in sales and repayments.
Despite a decrease in net investment income compared to the previous year, PennantPark’s management remains optimistic about the company’s defensive positioning and the support of its dividend stream through substantial spillover income. The portfolio’s net unrealized appreciation increased significantly, reflecting favorable market conditions.
Looking ahead, PennantPark Investment Corporation is expected to continue leveraging its liquidity and capital resources to finance its investment objectives and operations, maintaining a focus on middle-market credit opportunities.
