ARES CAPITAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SEPTEMBER 30, 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND DECLARES FOURTH QUARTER 2026 DIVIDEND OF $0.48 PER SHARE DIVIDEND DECLARATIONS
Ares Capital reported Q3 2026 GAAP net income of $0.44 per share ($319 million) and Core EPS of $0.46, down from $0.57 and $0.50 a year ago, while net investment income slipped to $0.46 per share from $0.48. The Board declared a Q4 2026 dividend of $0.48 per share, payable December 29 to holders of record December 15, but NAV per share fell to $19.31 from $19.94 at year-end 2025. Credit quality remained strong with non-accruals at just 2.4% of amortized cost, though originations slowed sharply to $2.1 billion of gross commitments versus $3.9 billion a year ago; a $2.5 billion investment backlog supports a Q4 rebound.
