Gladstone Capital Corporation

Greetings. Welcome to Gladstone Capital Corporation's second quarter earnings call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce Mr. David Gladstone, Chief Executive Officer. Thank you, sir. You may begin.

Thank you, Sherry. This is David Gladstone, Chairman, and this is the earnings conference call for Gladstone Capital for the quarter ending March 31st, 2025. Thank you for calling in. We're always happy to talk to our shareholders and analysts who follow us and welcome the opportunity to provide an update on our company and maybe give a little information about where we're going. And now we'll start out with Eric Helmut. He's standing in for Michael Lacalce on the General Counsel side, and he's going to give us some information about forward-looking statements. Eric?

Thank you, David, and good morning. Today's report includes forward-looking statements under the Securities Act of 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including those regarding our future performance statements. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are based upon our current plans, which we believe to be reasonable. Many factors may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including all risk factors in our Forms 10Q, 10K, and other documents that we file with the SEC. Those can be found on the Investor Relations page of our website, www.gladstonecapital.com, where you can also sign up for our email notification service or on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Today's call is an overview of our results, so we ask you to review our press release and Form 10Q issued yesterday for more detailed information. Again, those can be found on the Investors page of our website. Now I'll turn the call over to Gladstone Capital's President, Bob Markoff.
