Chief Executive Officer and Chairman

Thank you, Anna, and good morning, everyone. Thank you all for joining us for FSK's second quarter 2025 earnings conference call. During the second quarter, FSK generated net investment income totaling 62 cents per share and adjusted net investment income totaling 60 cents per share as compared to our public guidance of approximately 64 cents and 62 cents per share respectively. Our net asset value per share declined 6.2 percent from 2337 to 2193 during the quarter. Our operating results this quarter primarily were attributable to company-specific situations impacting four portfolio companies. Dan will provide significant detail on each company shortly. Our new investment activity has remained strong, despite the still somewhat slow M&A environment. During the first half of 2025, the investment team originated 3.4 billion of investments, of which 1.4 billion were originated during the second quarter. We continue to find compelling ABF opportunities, and this segment of our portfolio remains a strong performer while also providing enhanced portfolio diversification. Additionally, we've continued to scale our credit opportunities partners joint venture, which expands our investment funnel and delivers a consistent stream of recurring dividend income on both the quarterly and annual basis. On the right side of the balance sheet, we continue to maintain strong liquidity to support our funding needs, ending the quarter with $3.1 billion of availability across cash, unsettled trades, and undrawn credit facilities. Our 2025 distribution guidance remains in place, and we continue to expect our distributions during the full year will total $2.80 per share, comprised of $2.56 cents per share of base distributions and 24 cents per share of supplemental distributions. Our Board has declared a third quarter distribution of 70 cents per share consisting of our base distribution of 64 cents per share and a supplemental distribution of 6 cents per share. As we previously have stated, our 2025 distribution strategy was designed to provide shareholders with additional distributions from the spillover income that we've accumulated. As we approach our target spillover balance range, we expect our 2026 distribution strategy will be based on key factors, including prevailing interest rates, our overall portfolio yield, the spread environment with respect to new investments, and the weighted average cost of our liability structure. In keeping with our long-held view, of providing as much transparency as possible to the market. We plan to provide additional details regarding our 2026 dividend strategy on our third quarter earnings call. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Dan.
