In commenting on the Fund’s operating results for the third quarter of 2025, Dwayne L. Hyzak, MSC Income’s
Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with the Fund’s performance in the third quarter, which
resulted in an annualized return on equity of 14.6% and favorable net investment income. We believe that the
quality of the Fund’s existing investment portfolio, combined with the Fund’s existing liquidity, near-term
expanded regulatory leverage capacity which will become effective for the Fund at the end of January 2026 and
2
current attractive pipeline of new private loan investment opportunities provide the opportunity for increased
net investment income and shareholder dividends as we work to enhance the Fund’s investment portfolio over
the next several quarters.”

The $1.9 million increase in total investment income in the third quarter of 2025 from the comparable period of
the prior year was principally attributable to (i) a $1.2 million increase in dividend income, primarily due to a
$0.8 million increase in dividend income from the Fund’s LMM portfolio companies, a $0.2 million increase in
dividend income from the Fund’s other portfolio companies and a $0.2 million increase in dividend income
from the Fund’s private loan portfolio companies, (ii) a $0.8 million increase in fee income primarily due to a
$0.5 million increase from the refinancing and prepayment of debt investments and $0.3 million increase in fees
related to increased investment activity. The $1.9 million increase in total investment income in the third quarter
of 2025 includes the impact of an increase of $0.9 million in certain income considered less consistent or non-
recurring, primarily related to a $0.5 million increase in such fee income and a $0.4 million increase in such
interest income from accelerated prepayment, repricing and other activity related to certain investment portfolio
debt investments, in each case when compared to the same period in 2024.
Total expenses, net of waivers, decreased by $1.0 million, or 5.0%, to $18.3 million in the third quarter of 2025
from $19.3 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was principally attributable to (i) a $1.7 million
decrease in interest expense and (ii) a $0.5 million decrease in base management fees, partially offset by a $1.2
million increase in incentive fees. The decrease in interest expense is primarily related to a decreased weighted-
average interest rate on the Fund’s Credit Facilities (as defined in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section
below) due to decreases in benchmark index rates and a decrease to the applicable spreads resulting from
amendments of the Credit Facilities since the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by an increase in weighted-
average outstanding borrowings used to fund the growth of the Fund’s investment portfolio. The increase in
incentive fees, which is after a $0.2 million voluntary permanent waiver provided by the Fund’s investment
adviser in the third quarter of 2025, is primarily attributable to an increase in pre-incentive fee NII.
The Fund’s ratio of total non-interest operating expenses, excluding incentive fees, as a percentage of quarterly
average total assets, or the Operating Expenses to Assets Ratio, decreased to 2.0% on an annualized basis for
the third quarter of 2025, from 2.2% for the third quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of the decreased base
management fee percentage under the amended advisory agreement effective upon the listing of the Fund’s
shares of common stock in January 2025.
3
The $3.7 million increase in NII in the third quarter of 2025 from the comparable period of the prior year was
principally attributable to the increase in total investment income and decreased expenses, each as discussed
above. NII per share increased by $0.03 per share for the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the third quarter
of 2024, to $0.35 per share. The per share increase in NII was after the impact of a 17.8% increase in the
weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to new shares issued
through the Fund’s follow-on equity offering in January 2025 and the dividend reinvestment plan. NII on a per
share basis in the third quarter of 2025 is also after a net increase of $0.02 per share resulting from an increase
in investment income considered less consistent or non-recurring in nature compared to the third quarter of
2024, as discussed above.
The $26.5 million net increase in net assets resulting from operations in the third quarter of 2025 represents a
$19.2 million increase from the third quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily the result of a (i) $15.5
million increase in the net fair value change of the Fund’s portfolio investments resulting from the net impact of
net realized gains/losses and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation, with the increase resulting from a net fair
value increase of $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to a net fair value decrease of $4.4 million
in the prior year and (ii) a $3.7 million increase in NII as discussed above. The $11.2 million net fair value
increase in the third quarter of 2025 was the result of net unrealized appreciation (including the reversal of net
fair value depreciation in prior periods on the net realized loss in the quarter) of $21.0 million, partially offset
by a net realized loss of $9.9 million. The $4.4 million net fair value decrease in the third quarter of 2024 was
the result of net unrealized depreciation of $29.7 million, partially offset by a net realized gain of $25.4 million.
The $9.9 million net realized loss from investments for the third quarter of 2025 was primarily the result of (i)
$8.8 million of realized losses on the restructures of two private loan portfolio investments and (ii) a $2.4
million realized loss on the full exit of a LMM portfolio investment, partially offset by a $1.3 million realized
gain on the full exit of a LMM portfolio investment.

quarter of 2025:

Investment Portfolio Information as of September 30, 2025(5)
The following table provides a summary of the investments in the Fund’s private loan portfolio and LMM
portfolio as of September 30, 2025:

(a)The Fund had equity ownership in all of its LMM portfolio companies, and the Fund’s average fully diluted
equity ownership in those portfolio companies was 9%.
(b)The weighted-average annual effective yields were computed using the effective interest rates for all debt
investments as of September 30, 2025, including amortization of deferred debt origination fees and
accretion of original issue discount but excluding fees payable upon repayment of the debt instruments and
any debt investments on non-accrual status, and are weighted based upon the principal amount of each
applicable debt investment as of September 30, 2025.
(c)The average EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is calculated using
a weighted-average for the private loan portfolio and a simple average for the LMM portfolio. These
calculations exclude certain portfolio companies, including four private loan portfolio companies and three
LMM portfolio companies, as EBITDA is not a meaningful valuation metric for the Fund’s investments in
these portfolio companies, and those portfolio companies whose primary purpose is to own real estate and
those portfolio companies whose primary operations have ceased and only residual value remains.
5
The Fund’s total investment portfolio at fair value consists of approximately 60% private loan, 37% LMM, 2%
middle market and 1% other portfolio investments.
The fair value of the Fund’s LMM portfolio company equity investments was 197% of the cost of such equity
investments, and the Fund’s LMM portfolio companies had a median net senior debt (senior interest-bearing
debt through the Fund’s debt position less cash and cash equivalents) to EBITDA ratio of 2.9 to 1.0 and a
median total EBITDA to senior interest expense ratio of 2.8 to 1.0. Including all debt that is junior in priority to
the Fund’s debt position, these median ratios were 3.0 to 1.0 and 2.8 to 1.0, respectively.(5)(6)
As of September 30, 2025, the Fund’s investment portfolio also included:
•Middle market portfolio investments in eight portfolio companies, collectively totaling $26.6 million in fair
value and $40.0 million in cost basis, which comprised 2.1% and 3.4% of the Fund’s investment portfolio at
fair value and cost, respectively; and
•Other portfolio investments in six entities, spread across four investment managers, collectively totaling
$16.0 million in fair value and $14.3 million in cost basis, which comprised 1.3% and 1.2% of the Fund’s
investment portfolio at fair value and cost, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, investments on non-accrual status comprised 1.4% of the total investment portfolio
at fair value and 4.6% at cost, and the Fund’s total portfolio investments at fair value were 106% of the related
cost basis.

MSC INCOME FUND, INC.
Endnotes
(1) The Fund believes presenting NII before taxes and the related per share amount is useful and appropriate
supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance since taxes included in NII may include
excise taxes, which are not solely attributable to NII, and deferred taxes, which are not payable in the
current period.
(2) Return on equity equals the net increase in net assets resulting from operations divided by the average
quarterly total net assets.
(3) All prior period per share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted for a 2-for-1 reverse stock split
completed by the Fund, effective as of December 16, 2024.
(4) NII for each period in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 necessary to present the comparable year-to-date
amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 have been revised to include the impact of excise
tax and NII related federal and state income and other tax expenses previously included within the total
income tax provision. This correction was determined to be immaterial to any impacted prior periods and
had no impact on net increases in net assets resulting from operations or the related per share amounts.
(5) Portfolio company financial information has not been independently verified by MSC Income.
(6) These credit statistics exclude portfolio companies on non-accrual status and portfolio companies for which
EBITDA is not a meaningful metric.
