New Mountain Finance (NASDAQ:NMFC) reported adjusted net investment income per share of $0.32 for Q2 2025, fully covering its cash dividend and highlighting ongoing support from stable, recurring portfolio income. Tactical use of the dividend protection program and incremental fee waivers ensured dividend stability during a period of lighter origination activity and compressed yields. Management addressed slight portfolio risk rating deterioration, noting a consumer products business downgrade to red with significant tariff-related pressures and expected liquidity needs by year-end. The loan portfolio is increasingly allocated to senior secured assets, with floating rate exposure aligned to expected refinancing activities intended to preserve net interest margins as funding costs change. Debt repayment and refinancing initiatives signal a focus on optimizing the liability structure to maintain liquidity and cost discipline. Portfolio returns and realized loss rates remain favorable on a cumulative basis since IPO, with low non-accruals and cumulative net realized losses since IPO of only $16 million. Ongoing stock repurchases, high management ownership, and continued equity monetization efforts reinforce shareholder return priorities as management anticipates improving credit performance and asset rotation in the coming quarters.
