Great Elm Capital Corp. (GECC) reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, revealing a total investment income of $10.6 million, a decrease from $11.7 million in the same period last year. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, total investment income reached $37.4 million, compared to $30.2 million for the same period in 2024. The company experienced a net investment income of $2.4 million for the quarter, down from $4.1 million a year earlier, while the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was a loss of $22 million, compared to a gain of $3.5 million in the prior year.

The company’s total assets increased to $420 million as of September 30, 2025, up from $342 million at the end of 2024. This growth was primarily driven by a rise in the fair value of investments, which totaled $413.8 million, compared to $332.7 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. The company’s net asset value per share decreased to $10.01 from $11.79 at the end of 2024, reflecting a challenging market environment and unrealized depreciation on investments.

Strategically, GECC has made significant moves, including the formation of a joint venture, CLO Formation JV, LLC, aimed at investing in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Additionally, the company contributed investments to its subsidiary, Great Elm Specialty Finance, LLC, which is expected to enhance revenue and cost synergies. The company also issued $50 million in 7.75% notes due 2030 and redeemed $40 million in 8.75% notes due 2028, reflecting ongoing adjustments to its capital structure.

Operationally, GECC's investment portfolio included 66 debt instruments across 49 companies, with a fair value of approximately $220.7 million, and 19 equity investments in 15 companies valued at $104.4 million. The company reported a weighted average yield of 11.52% on its debt investments as of September 30, 2025. The firm’s asset coverage ratio stood at approximately 168.2%, indicating compliance with regulatory requirements. Looking ahead, GECC anticipates continued challenges in the market but believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and capitalize on future investment opportunities.
