- **Dividend Stability**: $0.38 quarterly payout maintained, supported by disciplined underwriting and asset selection.

**【CEO Summary Section】**
- MFIC reported NII of $0.38 per share for Q3 2025, with GAAP net income of $0.29 per share. The company received a $97 million net repayment from its aircraft leasing portfolio company, Merx, reducing its exposure from 5.6% to 3.3% of the portfolio.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- Total investment income was $82.6 million for Q3, with prepayment income up 167% to $3.2 million. Fee income increased 112% to $458,000, partially offsetting a 1.6% decline in recurring interest income.

**【Q&A Key Highlights】**
- **Non-Accruals**: Q3 saw 3.1% of the portfolio on non-accrual status, driven by idiosyncratic issues (e.g., tariffs, consumer sentiment). Post-quarter, $7.9 million of Global Eagle exposure was repaid.
- **M&A Outlook**: Sustained activity expected due to private equity's need to deploy capital and reduced tariff volatility. MFIC benefits from MidCap Financial's $5.8 billion quarterly origination volume.
- **Dividend Sustainability**: Management plans to use Merx repayments and cost reductions to offset rate declines, with no immediate dividend cuts anticipated.
- **Share Repurchases**: The company remains authorized to repurchase shares, though timing depends on market conditions and leverage levels.
