A solid quarter saw revenue climb 11% to $80.9 million, while net income more than doubled to $8.5 million. The period was defined by the closing of the $230.9 million Stellus acquisition, which brings a direct lending platform but also pushed debt to $490.8 million and goodwill/intangibles to $885.9 million. Reflecting the deal's equity structure, noncontrolling interests surged to $149.8 million. Operating cash flow improved dramatically to $41.4 million for the first half, providing some cushion against the higher leverage. The company continues to return capital via dividends and has $15 million remaining on its buyback authorization.
