Fee Structure Reduction
Management permanently reduced the base management fee from 1.25% to 1.00% and the incentive fee from 17.5% to 15% effective April 1, 2026, restoring CCAP's fee structure toward the lower end of peers to improve long-term earnings consistency.
Reported and Core NII (with Incentive Fee Waiver)
Reported net investment income (NII) was $0.42 per share for the quarter, which includes a voluntary $0.04 per share incentive fee waiver to ensure full dividend coverage. Core NII before the waiver was $0.38 per share (down from $0.45 in the prior quarter, a decline of $0.07 or ~15.6%).
Dividend Framework Reset and Special Dividends
Board reset the quarterly base dividend from $0.42 to $0.34 per share (a reduction of $0.08 or ~19.0%) and approved three $0.03 per share special dividends to be paid quarterly in calendar 2026 to address the spillover balance.
Strong Liquidity and Financing Capacity
Investment portfolio at fair value totaled approximately $1.6 billion. Available liquidity included roughly $206 million of capacity plus $27 million of cash. Management also announced an expected $100 million upsize to the SPV ABL facility to be closed before the June quarter end (partly to refinance upcoming May unsecured maturities).
Portfolio Quality Metrics Remain Largely Stable
Approximately 86% of investments remained rated 1 or 2 (unchanged quarter-over-quarter). Weighted average portfolio risk rating was ~2.1 and weighted average interest coverage modestly improved to 2.2x, indicating resilience across the majority of the portfolio.
Active Deployment into Attractive Opportunities
Gross deployment totaled $115 million in the quarter, including $57 million across 14 new platform investments at a weighted average spread of ~500 basis points (Crescent led 93% of those transactions). Exits/sales/repayments were ~$93 million, yielding net deployment of ~$22 million. Crescent platform activity remained robust with ~$2.6 billion of private credit commitments in Q1 and ~$7.5 billion LTM pipeline.
Strategic Alignment with Sun Life Strengthens Capital Partnership
Sun Life completed acquisition of Crescent Capital (making it a wholly owned subsidiary of SLC Management). Sun Life holds ~6% of CCAP shares outstanding, ~$72 million of CCAP unsecured notes, and has invested/committed over $1.5 billion across Crescent strategies since 2021, reinforcing a long-term institutional alignment.
