SLR Investment Corp.'s 2025 annual report highlights a slight decrease in net investment income and net assets from operations compared to 2024. However, the company demonstrated strong access to capital markets by issuing $175 million in new unsecured notes during 2025 and successfully repaying $85 million of maturing notes. The establishment of a $150 million At-The-Market (ATM) equity program and the extension of a $50 million share repurchase program provide future capital flexibility, although no shares were sold or repurchased under these programs in 2025. The company maintained a healthy portfolio with zero issuers on non-accrual status, indicating sound credit quality. These capital management activities are crucial for a Business Development Company (BDC) and signal ongoing operational capacity despite a competitive environment.
