The timing and amount of any future distributions on FSK’s shares of common stock are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of its board of directors. There can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.

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
	June 30, 2024			March 31, 2024
GAAP net investment income per share	$	0.77		$	0.76
Accretion resulting from merger accounting	($	0.02	)	($	0.03	)
Adjusted net investment income per share(2)	$	0.75		$	0.73
GAAP Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share	($	0.39	)	($	0.14	)
Unrealized appreciation from merger accounting	$	0.02		$	0.03
Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain(2)	($	0.37	)	($	0.11	)

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, 2024 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, 2024 for a description of FSK’s revenue recognition policy.

7) Does not include investments on non-accrual status.
