- The company delivered a total investment income of $34.2 million and net investment income of $14.6 million in the second quarter, indicating strong financial performance.
- RWAY's loan portfolio is comprised almost exclusively of first lien senior secured loans, which enhances the security and stability of their investments.
- The company has a robust pipeline of high-quality opportunities, supported by deep sector relationships and targeted outreach efforts.
- RWAY's focus on originating investments at the top of the capital stack reduces the risk of volatility, providing a margin of safety in a challenging market environment.

- RWAY experienced a decline in net investment income from $18.7 million in the first quarter to $14.6 million in the second quarter, primarily due to a decrease in prepayment-related income.
- The company recorded a net unrealized loss on investments of $6.3 million, largely due to a markdown on their loan to Snagajob.
- RWAY's net assets decreased from $529.5 million at the end of the first quarter to $506.4 million at the end of the second quarter, reflecting a decline in NAV per share.
