This 8-K furnishes the detailed fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, broadly indicated in the 10-K filed earlier today. The company reported a significant 7.4% decline in Net Asset Value (NAV) per share to $13.76 and negative earnings per share of $(0.80) for Q4 2025. Leverage also increased, with the net debt-to-equity ratio rising to 1.44x. While the co-CEOs declared routine base distributions of $0.10 per share for April, May, and June 2026, the detailed financial deterioration, especially with the stock trading near its 52-week low, presents a negative outlook for investors. Historical share repurchases and recent debt issuances provide some liquidity context but do not offset the quarter's operational and valuation challenges.
