PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Key Takeaways

• Positive Sentiment: PennantPark launched and is rapidly ramping its new JV, PSSL Two, which invested $197M in the quarter (+$133M post-quarter) and now has a $326M portfolio with a $250M facility (expandable to $350M); the firm expects the JV at scale (target >$1B) to help cover PFLT’s dividend.
• Positive Sentiment: The portfolio is conservatively structured with 89% first‑lien senior secured debt, only 2.5% PIK, median leverage of 4.5x, 2.1x interest coverage, and just four non-accruals (0.5% cost), which management cites as evidence of strong underwriting.
• Negative Sentiment: NAV fell to $10.49 (-3.1% QoQ) after a $30M net realized/unrealized loss, driven mainly by select 2021‑vintage softness (e.g., Pink Lily, Dynata, Wash & Wax), though management says further markdowns appear limited.
• Positive Sentiment: Active originations and high yields: PFLT invested $301M in the quarter at a weighted average yield of ~10% (debt yield ~9.9%), with ~99% of the debt portfolio floating‑rate—supportive of Net Investment Income in a higher rate environment.
• Neutral Sentiment: Management sees rising middle‑market M&A activity expanding deal flow and enabling equity rotation that could accelerate JV growth, but timing to reach the >$1B JV target is uncertain (management suggested a broad ~12–24 month range, ~18 months as an example).

Presentation

[Operator]

It's now my pleasure to turn the call over to Mr. Art Penn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PennantPark Floating Rate Capital. Mr. Penn, you may begin your conference.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to PennantPark Floating Rate Capital's first fiscal quarter 2026 earnings conference call. I'm joined today by Rick Allorto, our Chief Financial Officer. Rick, please start off by disclosing some general conference call information and include a discussion about forward-looking statements.

[Rick Allorto, CFO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

At this time, I'd like to turn the call back to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Art Penn.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Thanks, Rick. I'll begin with an overview of our first quarter results and recent strategic initiative, the launch of our new joint venture, PSSL II, which commenced investment activities during the quarter. I will then share our perspective on the current market environment and how PFLT is positioned for continued growth. Rick will follow up with a detailed review of the financials, and then we will open up the call for questions. For the quarter ended December 31st, Core Net Investment Income for the quarter was $0.27 per share. During the quarter, we began investing in our new joint venture, PSSL II. PSSL II invested $197 million during the quarter and an additional $133 million after quarter end. Its total portfolio is currently $326 million.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

PSSL II recently closed on an additional $100 million commitment to the credit facility, bringing the total to $250 million, and the credit facility has an accordion feature to increase commitments to $350 million. Our objective is to scale PSSL II to over $1 billion in assets consistent with our existing joint ventures. Our run rate NII is projected to cover our current dividend as we ramp that portfolio. Turning to the market environment, we are seeing an increase in M&A transaction activity across the private middle market. This trend is expanding our pipeline of new investment opportunities. We also expect that this increase in M&A activity will drive repayments of our existing portfolio investments, including opportunities to exit some of our equity co-investments and rotate that capital into new current income-producing investments.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

We continue to believe that the current environment favors lenders with strong private equity sponsor relationships and disciplined underwriting, areas where we have a clear competitive advantage. In the core middle market, the pricing on high-quality first lien term loans remains attractive, typically ranging from SOFR plus 475-525 basis points, with leverage of approximately 4.5x EBITDA. Importantly, we continue to get meaningful covenant protections, in contrast to the covenant-lite structures prevalent in the upper middle market. Our portfolio remains conservatively structured. As of December 31st, PIK interest represented just 2.5% of total interest income among the lowest levels in the industry. Median leverage across the portfolio is 4.5x, with median interest coverage of 2.1x.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

During the quarter, we originated four new platform investments with a median debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 4x, interest coverage of 2.9x, and a loan-to-value ratio of 43%. With regard to the software risk that has been a recent market focus, we have stuck to our knitting. Only 4.4% of the overall portfolio is software, and that 4.4% is structured consistently with how we invest in the core middle market. Primarily, all cash pay loans with covenants, with leverage of 5.3x, and matures in only 3.4 years on average. It's enterprise software that is integral to the customers' businesses, the vast majority of which is focused on heavily regulated industries such as defense, healthcare, and financial institutions, where safety, security, and data privacy are paramount and where change will be slower.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Peers typically invested much larger percentage of their portfolios in software, 20%-30%, and much higher leverage, 7x+, or loans against revenue, not EBITDA, with substantial PIK, covenant-lite, and long maturities. This story is a significant differentiator from our peers. We ended the quarter with four non-accrual investments, representing only 0.5% of the portfolio at cost and 0.1% at market value. These results reflect the rigor of our underwriting process and the discipline of our investment approach. We continue to believe that our focus on core middle market provides us with attractive investment opportunities where we provide important strategic capital to our borrowers.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Core middle market companies, typically those with $10 million-$50 million of EBITDA, operate below the threshold of the broadly syndicated loan or high yield markets. In the core middle market, because we are an important strategic lending partner, the process and package of terms we receive is attractive. We have many weeks to do our diligence. We thoughtfully structure transactions with sensible leverage, meaningful covenants, substantial equity cushions to protect our capital, attractive spreads, and equity co-investment. Additionally, from a monitoring perspective, we receive monthly financial statements to help us stay informed on the performance of our portfolio companies. Regarding covenant protections, while the upper market has seen significant erosion, our originated first lien loans consistently include meaningful covenants that safeguard our capital. Our credit quality since inception over 14 years ago, has been excellent.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

PFLT has invested $8.7 billion in 545 companies, and we have experienced only 26 non-accruals. Since inception, our loss ratio on invested capital is only 13 basis points annually. As a provider of strategic capital, we fuels the growth of our portfolio companies. In many cases, we participate in the upside of the company by making an equity co-investment. Our returns on these equity co-investments have been excellent over time. Overall, for our platform, from inception through December 31st, we've invested over $615 million in equity co-investments and have generated an IRR of 25% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.9x. During the quarter, we continued to originate attractive investment opportunities and invested $301 million at a weighted average yield of 10%.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

$95 million was invested in new portfolio companies, and $206 million was invested in existing portfolio companies. From an outlook perspective, our experienced and talented team and our wide origination funnel are well-positioned to generate strong deal flow. Our mission and goal are a steady, stable, and protected dividend stream, coupled with the preservation of capital. Everything we do is aligned to that goal. We seek to find investment opportunities in growing middle market companies that have high free cash flow conversion. We capture that free cash flow primarily in first lien senior secured instruments, and we pay out those contractual cash flows in the form of dividends to our shareholders. With that overview, I'll turn it over to Rick for a more detailed review of our financial results.

[Rick Allorto, CFO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Thank you, Art. For the quarter ended December 31st, GAAP net investment income and core net investment income were both $0.27 per share. Our operating expenses for the quarter were as follows: interest and expenses on debt were $27.2 million, base management and performance-based incentive fees were $13.5 million, general and administrative expenses were $2.1 million, provision for taxes was $0.2 million, and credit facility amendment costs were $0.5 million. For the quarter ended December 31st, net realized and unrealized change on investments, including provision for taxes, was a loss of $30 million. As of December 31st, NAV was $10.49 per share, which is down 3.1% from $10.83 per share last quarter.

[Rick Allorto, CFO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

As of December 31st, our debt-to-equity ratio was 1.57x, and our capital structure is diversified across multiple funding sources, including both secured and unsecured debt. Subsequent to quarter end, we sold $27 million of assets to the PSSL I joint venture and $133 million of assets to the PSSL II joint venture. We used the net proceeds from these sales to pay down our revolving credit facility and reduce our debt-to-equity ratio to 1.5x, which is within our target range of 1.4-1.6x. As of December 31st, our key portfolio statistics were as follows: The portfolio remains well-diversified, comprising 160 companies across 50 industries. The weighted average yield on our debt investments was 9.9%, and approximately 99% of the debt portfolio is floating rate.

[Rick Allorto, CFO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

PIK income equals only 2.5% of total interest income. The portfolio is comprised of 89% first lien senior secured debt, less than 1% in second lien and subordinated debt, 4% in equity of PSSL I and PSSL II, and 7% in equity co-investments. The debt-to-EBITDA on the portfolio is 4.5x, and interest coverage was 2.1x. With that, I'll turn the call back to Art for closing remarks.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Thanks, Rick. In conclusion, I'd like to thank our exceptional team for their continued dedication and our shareholders for their trust and partnership. We remain focused on delivering durable earnings, preserving capital, and creating long-term value for our stakeholders. That concludes our remarks. At this time, I would like to open up the call to questions.

[Operator]

Thank you. If you would like to ask a question, please signal by pressing star one on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, please make sure your mute function is turned off to allow the signal to reach our equipment. Again, press star one to ask a question. We'll pause for just a moment to assemble the queue. We will take our first question from Paul Johnson with KBW.

[Paul Johnson, VP at KBW]

Yeah, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Interesting to hear that you guys have what I would consider an underweight software exposure in the portfolio. I know you've mentioned software as a defensive sector in the past. You've obviously, you know, done loans there in the past. I'm just curious, why is software such a low exposure within the portfolio? Is that a strategic investment decision you guys have made, or is there anything else driving that?

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Thanks. Thanks, Paul. It's a good question. You know, we basically just kind of stick to our knitting, you know, which is cash flow loans at a reasonable multiple, where we think there's great defensibility, where we can get covenants, where we can get cash interest. And, you know, we saw, obviously, we saw this massive parade of software loans come by, and much of them were marching at 7x leverage, 8x leverage, leverage against revenues, ARR loans. We saw many of them, covenant-lite or PIK. And for us, that was not, those were not comfortable loans for us to make.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

So we have done some software, about 4% of the portfolio, where, you know, there are reasonable multiples of cash flow, where we get our maintenance tests, where they're, you know, we feel safe as enterprise software that's integral to their customers' lives, and in industries that are heavily regulated, where data privacy, safety, and security mean that any change that may happen will be. It will take some time. So that's kind of military, that's healthcare, that's financial services. And, you know, we have maturities today, about 3 years, an average maturity of about 3 years on, you know, that 4% of the portfolio that's software-related. So we feel very safe and comfortable. And so we basically just stuck to our knitting and didn't, you know, chase the supply that was coming through.

[Paul Johnson, VP at KBW]

Got it. Very helpful. And then the last question I would just have, just on the NII this quarter, mostly in relation to the new JV. You guys have mentioned that you expect to cover the dividend, and I believe most of the plug there was from ramping the second JV. So I'm curious, when you say that you expect to ultimately cover the distribution with NII, does that assume essentially the JV at, you know, the $1 billion asset target and, you know, generating sort of run rate earnings from the JV, so essentially full optimization there? Or does it not necessarily assume, you know, full deployment within the JV? As well as, I would ask about the Fed cut, the Fed rate cuts.

[Paul Johnson, VP at KBW]

Does that assume Fed rate cuts in the meantime?

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Yeah. No, that's a great question. So look, and you can look at it, it's all public information. We have JV 1 in PFLT, PSSL 1 with Kemper. We have a JV over at PNNT with Pantheon, and so this is our third. You can look at those two as models in terms of ramp, in terms of income generation, you know, and percentages of the vehicle that each BDC owns. You know, so basically, the way, the way we look at it is once you get up to about $1 billion, you know, with our 75% ownership, you know, we should be covering, we should be covering that dividend. When is that gonna happen? It's not gonna be next quarter, but we're off to a good start. We're over...

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

You know, we're at about $330 million now from a standing start, you know, last quarter. A lot of it will depend on M&A, and M&A is obviously the feedstock that will populate this JV. But we feel pretty good about it, you know, helping us cover that dividend. That does not include any equity rotation. We do expect. If M&A happens, which we think it will, it will not only populate the JV, it will also imply some equity rotation on the existing portfolio, which will be helpful. And then you model in whatever base rate, you know, decrease you'd like, 50 basis points, 100 basis points. You know, we can go, you know, Rick, Rick can go through the model with you at some other time or a model with you.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

But, you know, there's a bunch of offsets, but we feel like we're well set up to have a pathway to cover that dividend.

[Paul Johnson, VP at KBW]

Got it. Appreciate it, Art. That's all the questions for me. Thank you very much.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Thank you.

[Operator]

We will take our next question from Robert Dodd with Raymond James.

[Robert Dodd, Director of Specialty Finance at Raymond James]

Hi, guys. On the software question, right? I mean, your portfolio is just a fraction over 4% in terms of software, where, if I understand, right, that's where software is the product of the business. Can you give us any thought? I mean, how much of the portfolio is kind of software exposed? I mean, where it's not producing software, but it might be in the business of implementing software for the government or anybody else, or where software is a core part of the business, but the business is not producing software itself.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Yeah, it's a great question, which is, you know, kind of how you define and where you draw the line. And zooming out to the bigger picture, the bigger picture question is how does AI impact, you know, every company and every portfolio, right? So it's that. That's above our pay grade for sure. You know, the difference is the difference here is software is the main product. That's how we define it, you know. And I think that's pretty, you know, kind of including where software is a big element of the company. A lot of our almost all of our companies use software in some way, shape, or form.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

AI can be a help or it could be a hindrance. But we tried to really hone in on where, you know, it was the product itself, where there's a human being attached to it, where we feel very good that AI is not going to impact the human nature of the job anytime soon. You know, that did not-- that did not, you know, we have a bunch of-- we do have service businesses, you know. We have a bunch of home service businesses where it's, you know, HVAC repair and plumbing and okay, that's probably not that impacted by AI. AI could be a help, so that's one end of the spectrum.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Then you have, you know, kind of, you know, we do have a lot of military defense, government services exposure. You know, A, that's less likely for safety, security, and privacy reasons to move to AI quickly. It could adopt AI, but, you know, requires human analysis. Like, there's a lot of government services that ultimately a human being needs to analyze, needs to synthesize. AI could very well help those companies. So I don't know. I mean, it's. We're all grappling with, you know, how you define it and what is in the bucket and what isn't, and where AI, you know, kind of impacts portfolios. So we tried to be with this 4.4% or whatever, we tried to be, you know, really pure as to what, where software really was, you know, the product.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

I know I'm rambling, but I don't know if I gave you any color there, Robert.

[Robert Dodd, Director of Specialty Finance at Raymond James]

No, no, no, that was really, that was really helpful. Thank you. So, yeah, I mean, it's a difficult topic. On just the next one, on kind of copy and port. On the JV, you know, like you said, I mean, you've gotten up to north of $300 million already from kind of a standing start. Now, some of that I do think you've kind of had, in a sense, pre-stopped the on-balance sheet portfolio that so that you could drop things down, and obviously, you've done it post-quarter end as well. So you know, that. The initial ramp was possibly faster than we should expect on you know, a quarterly basis, would be my guess.

[Robert Dodd, Director of Specialty Finance at Raymond James]

I mean, if, if the market is normal, good luck defining that, how long... You know, what's, what's plausible to get to $1 billion? Is it another, is it 3 or 4 quarters, or is it 8-12?

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

I would just to throw it out there because it gives me a lot of range, because this is gonna be a lot driven by M&A, right?

[Robert Dodd, Director of Specialty Finance at Raymond James]

Yep.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Right. Which, you know, last year, a meteor struck in the M&A market called Liberation Day. M&A was, you know, spiked for most of the rest of the year. It feels like it's coming back here. You know, we had JNF and PNNT. That was an example. That's an early indication that maybe, you know, maybe this time it happens. We are feeling it. We're seeing it in our backlog of deals that we're looking at. So, I'll throw out 18 months just as a big, broad, you know, kind of number, which gives me a lot of wiggle room on either side of the, you know, 12-24 months.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

You wanna do a range, you know, 24 months outside case, you can model that in, but quite frankly, it's gonna be driven by M&A.

[Robert Dodd, Director of Specialty Finance at Raymond James]

Got it. Thank you.

[Operator]

We will take our next question from Brian McKenna with Citizens.

[Brian McKenna, Director of Equity Research at Citizens JMP]

Thanks. Good morning, everyone. Sorry if I missed this, but can you walk through the drivers of the unrealized marks in the quarter? And then when you look across the portfolio and the watchlist today, are there any additional markdowns coming over the next quarter or two? And I'm just trying to think through some of the puts and takes and what that means for the trajectory of NAV moving forward.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Yeah. You know, most of the markdowns I'll call are... And good question, Brian. Most of the markdowns I'll call are, and we have a little bit of this, the, we'll call the 2021 vintage, which was the post-COVID vintage, where, you know, people thought, you know, that consumers were not going into stores again, where, you know, logistics and supply chain stuff was really doing very well. So we have a little bit of that. Thankfully, it's not that large, and that is kind of what is working its way through the pipeline here of markdowns. I'll point out a company called PL Acquisition. It stands for Pink Lily, which is a direct-to-consumer women's apparel business.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

I'll point out Research Now or Dynata, which is a marketing services business, which has been softer. And I'll point out in the JV, a company called Wash and Wax, which is a car wash company known as Zips, Z-I-P-S. People were doing a lot of car washing post-COVID. So, I think they're washing their cars again with all the bad weather in the north in the last couple of weeks, so seeing a little bit of bounce in car washing. But, you know, I'd say that's generally the theme. You've seen much bigger movements with some other BDCs that have reported, you know, NAV diminution due to, you know, Amazon relationships and home furnishing stuff. So we've got a little bit of that here.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

It's kind of working its way through. We don't really see much more, quite frankly, in that. It's kind of here we are, five years later. And I think with M&A starting to move, hopefully, we're gonna start to see some upside in equity and some equity rotation to offset what I'll call a little bit of this 2021 vintage.

[Brian McKenna, Director of Equity Research at Citizens JMP]

... That's helpful. And then just to follow up there, you know, if you look at your portfolio today, you know, what's the mix of loans just by, you know, the vintage year? And I'm curious, how much of your portfolio has turned over since 2021?

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

You know, I don't have that handy right now. Let us do some work and we can chat at a convenient time. And then, look, presumably the data is in there. You know, anyone, we and you could sit there and look at the origination date of these of the portfolio. But I think it might be some good work for a research analyst to do. Just an idea.

[Brian McKenna, Director of Equity Research at Citizens JMP]

Sounds great. I'll leave it there. Thanks, guys.

[Operator]

We will take our next question from Christopher Nolan with Ladenburg Thalmann.

[Christopher Nolan, Managing Director of Equity Research at Ladenburg]

Hey, guys. Rick, a $3.6 million charge related to the credit amendment and debt issuance costs, I presume that's non-recurring. And is that related to the $75 million debt issuance since in January?

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Sure. The first part, for PFLT, it was about $500,000, not $3.6 million. And yes, that is a one-time item. And no, it was not related to... Again, the $75 million that was raised was at PNNT.

[Christopher Nolan, Managing Director of Equity Research at Ladenburg]

Ah, thank you. Okay, my press release is... And also just as a follow-up, on the M&A comments, what is the... Is there any-- is there a lot of activity around the software sector? I'm just kind of curious, given everything going on with AI, whether or not software is in that.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Yeah. Yeah. You know, we have, we haven't, you know, we're, as you can tell, we're not one of the big software lenders, so we're probably not the, the best party to ask around M&A in the software sector. My, my presumption would be, you know, when you have times of, of kind of, like this, where the market's trying to figure things out in the sector, my assumption would be M&A would be lower for a while as things settle down and people revalue both equity and debt in, in the space. But again, we're, we're probably not the best people to ask.

[Christopher Nolan, Managing Director of Equity Research at Ladenburg]

Great. That's it for me, and apologies for confusing companies there. Thanks.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

No, no problem. The good news is, in June you have an opportunity to ask the same questions again.

[Christopher Nolan, Managing Director of Equity Research at Ladenburg]

Yeah. That's right. Thanks.

[Operator]

Gentlemen, there are no further questions at this time. I will now turn the conference back over to Mr. Penn for any additional or closing remarks.

[Art Penn, Chairman and CEO at PennantPark Floating Rate Capital]

Thanks, everybody, for your participation this morning. We look forward to speaking with you next in early May. Have a great day.
