"During the second quarter FSK generated $0.60 per share of Adjusted Net Investment Income. Our operating results and corresponding net asset value were impacted by company specific issues affecting four portfolio companies, each of which have been discussed on prior earnings calls," said Michael C. Forman, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. "During the quarter we originated approximately $1.4 billion of new investments, the vast majority of which were first lien structures. Also, in July we closed an amendment to our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility whereby the facility size was increased to $4.7 billion, the maturity date was extended until July of 2030, and the borrowing rate was reduced by 10 basis points. As a result, despite the four assets which impacted our quarterly results, we remain focused on growing our investment portfolio and actively managing our capital structure for the future."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). FSK uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing FSK's financial results with other BDCs.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with FSK's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures⁽¹⁾

	Three Months Ended
	30-Jun-25	31-Mar-25
GAAP net investment income per share	$0.62	$0.67
Accretion resulting from merger accounting	$(0.02)	$(0.02)
Adjusted net investment income per share⁽²⁾	$0.60	$0.65
GAAP Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share	$(1.36)	$(0.24)
Unrealized appreciation from merger accounting	$0.02	$0.02
Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain (loss)⁽²⁾	$(1.34)	$(0.22)


1)	Per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares of FSK's common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Per share numbers may not sum due to rounding.
2)	Adjusted net investment income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net investment income is presented for all periods as GAAP net investment income excluding (i) the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee for realized and unrealized gains; (ii) excise taxes (iii) the impact of accretion resulting from merger accounting; and (iv) certain non-recurring operating expenses that are one-time in nature and are not representative of ongoing operating expenses incurred during FSK's normal course of business. FSK uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other business development companies. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain is presented for all periods as GAAP realized and unrealized gains to exclude the impact of the merger accounting. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP net investment income to adjusted net investment income and GAAP net realized and unrealized gain to adjusted net realized and unrealized gain can be found above.
3)	Net debt to equity ratio is debt outstanding, net of cash and foreign currency and net payable/receivable for investments purchased/sold and repaid, divided by net assets.
4)	The per share data for distributions reflects the amount of distributions paid per share of our common stock to stockholders of record during each applicable period.
5)	See FSK's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 for important information, including information related to the calculation and definition of weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments, weighted average annual yield on all debt investments, variable rate debt investments, fixed rate debt investments, other income producing investments and non-income producing investments.
6)	Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. See FSK's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 for a description of FSK's revenue recognition policy.
7)	Does not include investments on non-accrual status.
8)	Total AUM estimated as of March 31, 2025. References to "assets under management" or "AUM" represent the assets managed by Future Standard or its strategic partners as to which Future Standard is entitled to receive a fee or carried interest (either currently or upon deployment of capital) and general partner capital. Future Standard calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of Future Standards' investment funds; (ii) uncalled investor capital commitments to these funds, including uncalled investor capital commitments from which Future Standard is currently not earning management fees or carried interest; (iii) the value of outstanding collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") (excluding CLOs wholly-owned by Future Standard); (iv) the fair value of Credit Opportunities Partners JV, LLC's assets and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by Future Standard. Future Standards' calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers and, as a result, Future Standards' measurements of its AUM may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Future Standards' definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages and is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.
