(unaudited)

Note 1. Formation and Business Purpose

New Mountain Finance Corporation (“NMFC” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29, 2010 and completed its initial public offering ("IPO") on May 19, 2011. NMFC is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). NMFC has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Since NMFC’s IPO, and through September 30, 2025, NMFC has raised approximately $ 1,034,550 in net proceeds from additional offerings of its common stock.

New Mountain Finance Advisers, L.L.C. (the “Investment Adviser”), formerly known as New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital Group, L.P. (together with New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. and its affiliates, "New Mountain Capital"), whose ultimate owners include Steven B. Klinsky, other current and former New Mountain Capital professionals and related vehicles and a minority investor. New Mountain Capital is a global investment firm with approximately $ 60 billion of assets under management and a track record of investing in the middle market. New Mountain Capital focuses on investing in defensive growth companies across its private equity, credit and net lease investment strategies. The Investment Adviser manages the Company's day-to-day operations and provides it with investment advisory and management services. The Investment Adviser also manages other funds that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, to the Company's. New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the "Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital, provides the administrative services necessary to conduct the Company's day-to-day operations.

The Company has established the following wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries:

• New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. ("NMF Holdings") and New Mountain Finance DB, L.L.C. ("NMFDB"), whose assets are used to secure NMF Holdings’ credit facility and were used to secure NMFDB’s credit facility, until its termination on September 30, 2024, respectively;

• New Mountain Finance SBIC, L.P. ("SBIC I"), New Mountain Finance SBIC II, L.P. ("SBIC II") and New Mountain Finance SBIC III, L.P. ("SBIC III"), who have received licenses from the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") to operate as small business investment companies ("SBICs") under Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (the "SBIC Act"), and their general partners, New Mountain Finance SBIC G.P., L.L.C. ("SBIC I GP"), New Mountain Finance SBIC II G.P., L.L.C. ("SBIC II GP") and New Mountain Finance SBIC III G.P., L.L.C. ("SBIC III GP"), respectively;

• NMF Ancora Holdings, Inc. ("NMF Ancora"), NMF QID NGL Holdings, Inc. ("NMF QID"), NMF YP Holdings, Inc. ("NMF YP"), NMF Permian Holdings, LLC ("NMF Permian"), NMF HB, Inc. ("NMF HB"), NMF TRM, LLC ("NMF TRM"), NMF Pioneer, Inc. ("NMF Pioneer") and NMF OEC, Inc. ("NMF OEC"), which are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are intended to facilitate our compliance with the requirements to be treated as a RIC under the Code by holding equity or equity related investments in portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies (or other forms of pass-through entities); the Company consolidates these corporations for accounting purposes but the corporations are not consolidated for U.S federal income tax purposes and may incur U.S. federal income tax expense as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies; and

• New Mountain Finance Servicing, L.L.C. ("NMF Servicing"), which serves as the administrative agent on certain investment transactions.

New Mountain Net Lease Corporation ("NMNLC") is a majority-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, which acquires commercial real estate properties that are subject to "triple net" leases and has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code.

NMFC is a BDC focused on providing direct lending solutions to U.S. upper middle market companies backed by private equity sponsors. The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of senior secured loans and select junior capital positions, to growing businesses in defensive

Table of Contents

industries that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns. The Company’s investment approach leverages the deep sector knowledge and operating resources of New Mountain Capital.

Senior secured loans may include traditional first lien loans or unitranche loans. The Company invests a significant portion of its portfolio in unitranche loans, which are loans that combine both senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first-lien position. Because unitranche loans combine characteristics of senior and subordinated debt, they have risks similar to the risks associated with secured debt and subordinated debt. Certain unitranche loan investments may include “last-out” positions, which generally heighten the risk of loss. In some cases, the Company’s investments may also include equity interests.

NMFC primarily invests in senior secured debt of U.S. sponsor-backed, middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") of $ 10 million to $ 200 million. The Company focuses on defensive growth businesses that generally exhibit the following characteristics: (i) acyclicality, (ii) sustainable secular growth drivers, (iii) niche market dominance and high barriers to competitive entry, (iv) recurring revenue and strong free cash flow, (v) flexible cost structures and (vi) seasoned management teams.

Similar to the Company, the investment objective of each of SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III is to generate current income and capital appreciation under the investment criteria used by the Company. However, SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III investments must be in SBA eligible small businesses. The Company’s portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s top five industry concentrations were software, business services, healthcare, investment funds (which includes the Company's investments in its joint ventures) and consumer services.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of accounting —The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The Company consolidates its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries: NMF Holdings, NMF Servicing, SBIC I, SBIC I GP, SBIC II, SBIC II GP, SBIC III, SBIC III GP, NMF Ancora, NMF QID, NMF YP, NMF Permian, NMF HB, NMF TRM, NMF Pioneer and NMF OEC and its majority-owned consolidated subsidiary: NMNLC. For majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries, the third-party equity interest is referred to as non-controlling interest. The net income attributable to non-controlling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as “Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations related to non-controlling interest” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The portion of shareholders' equity that is attributable to non-controlling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as “Non-controlling interest”, a component of total equity, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for all periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred. The financial results of the Company’s portfolio investments are not consolidated in the financial statements.

The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Investments —The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Investments are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments” and realizations on portfolio investments reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net realized gains (losses) on investments”.

The Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, the Company’s board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where its portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Company’s quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:

(1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from independent pricing services.

Table of Contents

(2) Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP.

a. Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and, if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and

b. For investments other than bonds, the Company looks at the number of quotes readily available and performs the following procedures:

i. Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained. The Company will evaluate the reasonableness of the quote, and if the quote is determined to not be representative of fair value, the Company will use one or more of the methodologies outlined below to determine fair value; and

ii. Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).

(3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:

a. Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;

b. Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the Company’s senior management;

c. If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the Company does not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company’s board of directors; and

d. When deemed appropriate by the Company’s management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.

For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of a commitment not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it is called and funded.

The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.

See Note 3. Investments , for further discussion relating to investments.

Derivative instruments and hedging activitie s —The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), when accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company may utilize derivatives to support its overarching risk management objectives. The primary market risk that the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk, which we seek to mitigate through derivative transactions.

Table of Contents

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk, facilitate asset/liability management strategies and manage other exposures. These instruments primarily include interest rate swaps. All derivative financial instruments are recognized as derivative assets at fair value or derivative liabilities at fair value, as applicable.

The Company has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2002 Master Agreement, (together with the Schedule and Credit Support Annex thereto and any transactions thereunder, the "ISDA Master Agreement"), on March 18, 2024, with a derivative counterparty (the “ISDA Counterparty”). The ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and the ISDA Counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives, into which the Company enters for hedging purposes. The ISDA Master Agreement provides for, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of certain specified defaults and/or termination events, including bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. The ISDA Master Agreement also includes termination rights that permit the termination of outstanding transactions by the ISDA Counterparty in the event the Company fails to maintain sufficient asset levels, and by the Company in the event the ISDA Counterparty is downgraded below a specified minimum rating level. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The collateral terms of the ISDA Master Agreement provide for the bilateral posting of collateral in the form of cash or U.S. government securities for any outstanding exposure under the transactions. In the case of the Company, the agreement provides for the segregation of posted collateral at the Company’s custodian subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the ISDA Counterparty. Upon the close-out of the transactions outstanding under the ISDA Master Agreement following a default, the ISDA Master Agreement provides for a single net payment between the parties equal to the close-out replacement value of the terminated transactions, the right to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty and/or the right to liquidate collateral.

Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange interest payments based upon notional amounts and subject the Company to market risk associated with changes in interest rates and changes in interest rate volatility, as well as the credit risk that the counterparty will fail to perform. The Company designates all interest rate swaps as hedging instruments in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship. As a result, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and hedged item are recorded in "Interest expense" and recognized as components of "Interest expense" in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the interest rate swap is included as a component of "Derivative asset at fair value" or "Derivative liability at fair value" on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Derivative assets at fair value and derivative liabilities at fair value, including variation margin as applicable, are included in the "Net change due to hedging activity" line item in the operating section in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company elected not to offset derivative assets and liabilities and cash collateral held with the same counterparty where it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement.

Refer to Note 4. Fair Value and Note 7. Borrowings for more information on derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Collateralized agreements or repurchase financings —The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral (“ASC 860”), when accounting for transactions involving the purchases of securities under collateralized agreements to resell (resale agreements). These transactions are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. Interest on collateralized agreements is accrued and recognized over the life of the transaction and included in interest income. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held one collateralized agreement to resell with a cost basis of $ 30,000 and $ 30,000 , respectively, and a fair value of $ 13,500 and $ 13,500 , respectively. The collateralized agreement to resell is on non-accrual status. The collateralized agreement to resell is guaranteed by a private hedge fund, PPVA Fund, L.P. The private hedge fund is currently in liquidation under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to the terms of the collateralized agreement, the private hedge fund was obligated to repurchase the collateral from the Company at the par value of the collateralized agreement. The private hedge fund has breached its agreement to repurchase the collateral under the collateralized agreement. The default by the private hedge fund did not release the collateral to the Company, and therefore, the Company does not have full rights and title to the collateral. A claim has been filed with the Cayman Islands joint official liquidators to resolve this matter. The joint official liquidators have recognized the Company’s contractual rights under the collateralized agreement. The Company continues to exercise its rights under the collateralized agreement and continues to monitor the liquidation process of the private hedge fund. The fair value of the collateralized agreement to resell is reflective of the increased risk of the position.

Cash and cash equivalents —Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term, highly liquid investments. The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near maturity that there is insignificant risk of changes in value. These securities have original maturities of three months or less. The Company did not hold any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The cash deposits are FDIC insured up to $250 per ownership category, per institution.

Revenue recognition

Sales and paydowns of investments: Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.

Interest and dividend income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. The Company has loans and certain preferred equity investments in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividend provision. PIK interest and dividends are accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest and dividends are added to the principal or share balances on the capitalization dates and are generally due at maturity or when redeemed by the issuer. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized PIK interest from investments of $ 7,605 and $ 22,081 , respectively, and non-cash dividends from investments of $ 7,255 and $ 22,085 , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized PIK interest from investments of $ 9,050 and $ 27,735 , respectively, and non-cash dividends from investments of $ 8,319 and $ 23,484 , respectively.

Dividend income on common equity is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Dividend income on preferred securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are deemed collectible.

Non-accrual income: Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due for 30 days or more and when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest or dividends are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends are not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the ultimate collectability. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.

Table of Contents

Other income: Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees, structuring fees, upfront fees and other miscellaneous fees received and are typically non-recurring in nature. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after the trade date. Other income may also include fees from bridge loans. The Company may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded. A fee is received by the Company for providing such commitments. Structuring fees and upfront fees are recognized as income when earned, usually when paid at the closing of the investment, and are non-refundable.

Interest and other financing expenses —Interest and other financing fees are recorded on an accrual basis by the Company. See Note 7. Borrowings , for details.

Deferred financing costs —The deferred financing costs of the Company consist of capitalized expenses related to the origination and amending of the Company’s borrowings. The Company amortizes these costs into expense over the stated life of the related borrowing. See Note 7. Borrowings , for details.

Deferred offering costs —The Company's deferred offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with equity offerings and the filing of shelf registration statements. Upon the issuance of shares, offering costs are charged as a direct reduction to net assets. Deferred offering costs are included in other assets on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Income taxes —The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains timely distributed to its stockholders.

To continue to qualify and be subject to tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to timely distributing at least 90.0% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Since U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes.

Differences between taxable income and the results of operations for financial reporting purposes may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to stockholders of the Company are reported as ordinary income, return of capital, long term capital gains or a combination thereof.

The Company will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company distributes, in a timely manner as required by the Code, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of its respective net ordinary income earned for the calendar year and (2) 98.2% of its respective capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in the calendar year.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. These taxable entities are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax liabilities or assets from permanent and temporary differences in the recognition of items for financial reporting and U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the current income tax expense, deferred income tax provision and total income tax provision, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2025		September 30, 2024		September 30, 2025		September 30, 2024
Current income tax expense	$	29	$	118	$	18	$	353
Deferred income tax provision	25		1,037		68		1,804
Total income tax provision	$	54	$	1,155	$	86	$	2,157

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 1,478 and $ 1,410 , respectively, of deferred tax liabilities, primarily relating to deferred taxes attributable to certain differences between the computation of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as compared to GAAP.

Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that there were no uncertain income tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not threshold as defined by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740")

through December 31, 2024. The 2021 through 2024 tax years remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities.

Distributions —Distributions to common stockholders of the Company are recorded on the record date as set by the board of directors. The Company intends to make distributions to its stockholders that will be sufficient to enable the Company to maintain its status as a RIC. The Company intends to distribute approximately all of its net investment income (see Note 5. Agreements , for details) on a quarterly basis and substantially all of its taxable income on an annual basis, except that the Company may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions declared on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash.

The Company applies the following in implementing the dividend reinvestment plan. If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders' accounts is equal to or greater than 110.0 % of the last determined net asset value of the shares, the Company will use only newly issued shares to implement its dividend reinvestment plan. Under such circumstances, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of the Company's common stock on NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") on the distribution payment date. Market price per share on that date will be the closing price for such shares on NASDAQ or, if no sale is reported for such day, the average of their electronically reported bid and ask prices.

If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders' accounts is less than 110.0 % of the last determined net asset value of the shares, the Company will either issue new shares or instruct the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market to satisfy the additional shares required. Shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a stockholder based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market. The number of shares of the Company's common stock to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the distribution cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of the Company's stockholders have been tabulated.

Stock repurchase program —On February 4, 2016, the Company's board of directors authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $ 50,000 worth of the Company's common stock (the "Old Repurchase Program"). Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2025, on October 23, 2025, the Company's board of directors authorized a new program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $ 100,000 worth of the Company's common stock (the "Repurchase Program").

Under the Old Repurchase Program and the Repurchase Program, the Company is permitted, but is not obligated, to repurchase its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market from time to time provided that it complied with the Company's code of ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. In addition, any repurchases were conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Old Repurchase Program terminated on October 8, 2025 upon the repurchase of $ 50,000 of the Company's common stock. The Company expects the Repurchase Program to be in place until the earlier of December 31, 2026 or until $ 100,000 of its outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 2,737,377 and 3,662,593 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock in the open market for $ 27,611 and $ 37,253 , respectively, including commissions paid. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company's common stock. Since the inception of the Old Repurchase Program through September 30, 2025, the Company has repurchased $ 40,201 outstanding shares of its common stock under the Old Repurchase Program.

Earnings per share —The Company's earnings per share ("EPS") amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock assuming all potential shares had been issued, and its related net impact to net assets accounted for, and the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the as-if-converted method for convertible debt, which could occur if all potentially dilutive securities were exercised.

Foreign securities —The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the respective dates of the transactions. The Company isolates that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with "Net change in

Table of Contents

unrealized appreciation (depreciation)" and "Net realized gains (losses)" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies may be negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies. This movement is beyond the control of the Company and cannot be predicted.

Use of estimates —The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Company's consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and other metrics used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used, and the differences could be material.

For a discussion of the Company's unfunded commitments, see Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies .

PPVA Black Elk (Equity) LLC

On May 3, 2013, the Company entered into a collateralized securities purchase and put agreement (the “SPP Agreement”) with a private hedge fund. Under the SPP Agreement, the Company purchased twenty million Class E Preferred Units of Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations, LLC (“Black Elk”) for $ 20,000 with a corresponding obligation of the private hedge fund, PPVA Black Elk (Equity) LLC, to repurchase the preferred units for $ 20,000 plus other amounts due under the SPP Agreement. The majority owner of Black Elk was the private hedge fund. In August 2014, the Company received a payment of $ 20,540 , the full amount due under the SPP Agreement.

In August 2017, a trustee (the “Trustee”) for Black Elk informed the Company that the Trustee intended to assert a fraudulent conveyance claim (the “Claim”) against the Company and one of its affiliates seeking the return of the $ 20,540 repayment. Black Elk filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in August 2015. The Trustee alleged that individuals affiliated with the private hedge fund conspired with Black Elk and others to improperly use proceeds from the sale of certain Black Elk assets to repay, in August 2014, the private hedge fund’s obligation to the Company under the SPP Agreement. The Company was unaware of these claims at the time the repayment was received. The private hedge fund is currently in liquidation under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

On December 22, 2017, the Company settled the Trustee’s $ 20,540 Claim for $ 16,000 and filed a claim with the Cayman Islands joint official liquidators of the private hedge fund for $ 16,000 that is owed to the Company under the SPP Agreement. The SPP Agreement was restored and is in effect since repayment has not been made. The Company continues to exercise its rights under the SPP Agreement and continues to monitor the liquidation process of the private hedge fund. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received a $ 1,500 payment from its insurance carrier in respect to the settlement. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the SPP Agreement had a cost basis of $ 14,500 and $ 14,500 , respectively and a fair value of $ 6,525 and $ 6,525 , respectively, which is reflective of the higher inherent risk in this transaction.

NMFC Senior Loan Program III LLC

NMFC Senior Loan Program III LLC ("SLP III") was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and commenced operations on April 25, 2018. SLP III is structured as a private joint venture investment fund between the Company and SkyKnight Income II, LLC (“SkyKnight II”) and operates under a limited liability company agreement (the "SLP III Agreement"). The purpose of the joint venture is to invest primarily in senior secured loans issued by portfolio companies within the Company's core industry verticals. These investments are typically broadly syndicated first lien loans. All investment decisions must be unanimously approved by the board of managers of SLP III, which has equal representation from the Company and SkyKnight II. SLP III initially had a five year investment period and will continue in existence until August 7, 2030. On August 6, 2025, the investment period was extended until August 7, 2028. The investment period may be extended for up to one additional year subject to certain conditions.

SLP III is capitalized with equity contributions which are called from its members, on a pro-rata basis based on their equity commitments, as transactions are completed. Any decision by SLP III to call down on capital commitments requires approval by the board of managers of SLP III. As of September 30, 2025, the Company and SkyKnight II have committed and contributed $ 160,000 and $ 40,000 , respectively, of equity to SLP III. The Company’s investment in SLP III is disclosed on the Company’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

On May 2, 2018, SLP III entered into its revolving credit facility with Citibank, N.A. As of the amendment on August 6, 2025, the maturity date of SLP III's revolving credit facility was extended from January 8, 2029 to August 7, 2030, and the reinvestment period was extended from July 8, 2027 to August 7, 2028.

As of the amendment on August 6, 2025, SLP III's revolving credit facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $ 941,000 of which $ 830,000 of the facility amount is attributed to Class A lenders and $ 111,000 is attributed to Class B lenders. Prior to the amendment on August 6, 2025, SLP III's revolving credit facility had a maximum borrowing capacity of $600,000, with the full amount attributable to one class of lenders. As of the amendment on August 6, 2025, during the reinvestment period, Class A advances bear interest at a rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.50 %, and after the reinvestment period Class A advances will bear interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.80 % and Class B advances bear interest at a rate of the SOFR plus 4.75 %, and after the reinvestment period Class B advances will bear interest at a rate of SOFR plus 5.05 %. From July 3, 2024 to August 6, 2025, during the reinvestment period, the credit facility bore interest at a rate of the SOFR plus 1.65 %, and after the reinvestment period it bore interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.95 %. From June 23, 2023 to July 3, 2024, during the reinvestment period, the credit facility bore interest at a rate of the SOFR plus 1.80 %, and after the reinvestment period it bore interest at a rate of SOFR plus 2.10 %.

The Company has determined that SLP III is an investment company under ASC 946; however, in accordance with such guidance the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company subsidiary. Furthermore, ASC 810 concludes that in a joint venture where both members have equal decision making authority, it is not appropriate for one member to consolidate the joint venture since neither has control. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate SLP III.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company earned approximately $ 3,794 and $ 12,153 , respectively, of dividend income related to SLP IV, which is included in dividend income. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $ 3,794 and $ 4,075 , respectively, of dividend income related to SLP IV was included in interest and dividend receivable.

The Company has determined that SLP IV is an investment company under ASC 946; in accordance with such guidance the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company subsidiary. Furthermore, ASC 810 concludes that in a joint venture where both members have equal decision making

authority, it is not appropriate for one member to consolidate the joint venture since neither has control. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate SLP IV.

Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries

In accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 1-02(w)(2), the Company evaluates its unconsolidated controlled portfolio companies to determine if any qualify as “significant subsidiaries.” This determination is made based upon an analysis performed under Rule 10-01(b)(1). As of September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any portfolio companies that were deemed to be a "significant subsidiary" as defined by Rule 1-02(w)(2).

Investment Risk Factors

First and second lien debt that the Company invests in is almost entirely rated below investment grade or may be unrated. Debt investments rated below investment grade are often referred to as "leveraged loans", "high yield" or "junk" debt investments, and may be considered "high risk" compared to debt investments that are rated investment grade. These debt investments are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the issuers. Such issuers are considered more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal, and such risk of default could reduce the net asset value and income distributions of the Company. In addition, some of the Company's debt investments will not fully amortize during their lifetime, which could result in a loss or a substantial amount of unpaid principal and interest due upon maturity. First and second lien debt may also lose significant market value before a default occurs. Furthermore, an active trading market may not exist for these securities. This illiquidity may make it more difficult to value the investments.

Subordinated debt is generally subject to similar risks as those associated with first and second lien debt, except that such debt is subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority. Subordinated debt is subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and the property securing the debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured and unsecured obligations of the borrower.

The Company may directly invest in the equity of private companies or, in some cases, equity investments could be made in connection with a debt investment. Equity investments may or may not fluctuate in value, resulting in recognized realized gains or losses upon disposition.

Note 4. Fair Value

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, a market quotation is readily available for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act with respect to a security only when that “quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.” Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring investments at fair value. The hierarchy classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:

Level I —Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and the Company has the ability to access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Company, to the extent that it holds such investments, does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level II —Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);

• Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and

• Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level III —Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.

Table of Contents

inputs that are both observable and unobservable. Gains and losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs and unobservable inputs.

The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consideration of factors specific to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in the transfer of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period.

The following table summarizes the levels in the fair value hierarchy that the Company’s portfolio investments fall into as of September 30, 2025:

(1) Includes non-cash reorganizations and restructurings.

(2) As of September 30, 2024, portfolio investments were transferred into Level III from Level II at fair value as of the beginning of the period in which the reclassification occurred.

Except as noted in the tables above, there were no other transfers in or out of Levels I, II, or III during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. Transfers into Level III occur as quotations obtained through pricing services are deemed not representative of fair value as of the balance sheet date and such assets are internally valued. As quotations obtained through pricing services are substantiated through additional market sources, investments are transferred out of Level III. In addition, transfers out of Level III and transfers into Level III occur based on the increase or decrease in the availability of certain observable inputs.

The Company invests in revolving credit facilities. These investments are categorized as Level III investments as these assets are not actively traded and their fair values are often implied by the term loans of the respective portfolio companies.

The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there is little, if any, market activity or observable pricing inputs. The Company typically determines the fair value of its performing debt investments utilizing an income approach. Additional consideration is given using a market based approach, as well as reviewing the overall underlying portfolio company's performance and associated financial risks. The following outlines additional details on the approaches considered:

Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis: Prior to investment, as part of its due diligence process, the Company evaluates the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, the Company analyzes each portfolio company's current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and changes to its capital structure. The Company also attempts to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of its original investment thesis. This analysis is specific to each portfolio company. The Company leverages the knowledge gained from its original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine its outlook for each of its portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of its investment in each portfolio company. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, the Company will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.

For debt investments, the Company may employ the Market Based Approach (as described below) to assess the total enterprise value of the portfolio company, in order to evaluate the enterprise value coverage of the Company’s debt investment. For equity investments or in cases where the Market Based Approach implies a lack of enterprise value coverage for the debt investment, the Company may additionally employ a discounted cash flow analysis based on the free cash flows of the portfolio company to assess the total enterprise value. After enterprise value coverage is demonstrated for the Company’s debt

investments through the method(s) above, the Income Based Approach (as described below) may be employed to estimate the fair value of the investment.

Market Based Approach: The Company may estimate the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing EBITDA or revenue multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions. The Company considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value its portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, and relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The Company may apply an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA or revenue multiples to the portfolio company's latest twelve month ("LTM") EBITDA or revenue or projected EBITDA or revenue to calculate the enterprise value of the portfolio company. Significant increases or decreases in the EBITDA or revenue multiple will result in an increase or decrease in enterprise value, which may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of the investment. In applying the market based approach as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company used the relevant EBITDA or revenue multiple ranges set forth in the table below to determine the enterprise value of its portfolio companies. The Company believes these were reasonable ranges in light of current comparable company trading levels and the specific portfolio companies involved.

Income Based Approach: The Company also may use a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment. Projected cash flows represent the relevant security's contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the investment's expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a combination of a yield calibration approach and a comparable investment approach. The yield calibration approach incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. The comparable investment approach utilizes an average yield-to maturity of a selected set of high-quality, liquid investments to determine a comparable investment discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. In applying the income based approach as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company used the discount ranges set forth in the table below to value investments in its portfolio companies.

Fair value risk factors —The Company seeks investment opportunities that offer the possibility of attaining substantial capital appreciation. Certain events particular to each industry in which the Company's portfolio companies conduct their operations, as well as general economic, political and public health conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Company's investments and/or on the fair value of the Company's investments. The Company's investments are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal, resulting in a reduction in income to the Company and their corresponding fair valuations. Also, there may be risk associated with the concentration of investments in one geographic region or in certain industries. These events are beyond the control of the Company and cannot be predicted. Furthermore, the ability to liquidate investments and realize value is subject to uncertainties.

Note 5. Agreements

The Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser, which was most recently re-approved by the Company's board of directors on January 29, 2025, at an in-person meeting, for a period of 12 months commencing on March 1, 2025. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Company, consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. On November 1, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Investment Management Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”). As described below, the sole purpose of Amendment No. 1 was to reduce the base management fee from 1.75 % of the Company’s gross assets to 1.4 % of the Company’s gross assets. On January 29, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Investment Management Agreement ("Amendment No. 2"), the sole purpose of which was to reduce the base management fee from 1.4 % of the Company's gross assets to 1.25 % of the Company's gross assets.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1, prior to January 29, 2025, the base management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 1.4 % of the Company's gross assets, which equals the Company's total assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, as of January 29, 2025, the base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.25 % of the Company's gross assets. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated based on the average value of the Company's gross assets, which equals the Company's total assets, as determined in accordance with GAAP, less cash and cash equivalents at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raises or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. To the extent the Company invests in derivatives, the Company uses the actual value of the derivatives, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, for purposes of calculating its base management fee.

The Company entered into a fee waiver agreement, dated March 31, 2021, as subsequently amended on November 2, 2021 and August 3, 2023, pursuant to which, effective as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 through the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Investment Adviser waived base management fees in order to reach a target base management

Table of Contents

fee of 1.25 % on gross assets. Following the expiration of the Fee Waiver Agreement on December 31, 2024, the Investment Adviser agreed to waive an amount of the base management fee that it may have been entitled to under the Investment Advisory Agreement for the period of January 1, 2025 through January 28, 2025, that would be in excess of an annual rate of 1.25 % of the Company's gross assets. The Investment Adviser cannot recoup management fees that the Investment Adviser has previously waived. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, management fees waived were approximately $ 0 and $ 288 , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, management fees waived were approximately $ 970 and $ 2,732 , respectively.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0 % of the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a “preferred return”, or “hurdle”, and a “catch-up” feature. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, upfront, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under an administration agreement, as amended and restated (the “Administration Agreement”), with the Administrator, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock (of which there were none as of September 30, 2025), but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a "hurdle rate" of 2.0 % per quarter ( 8.0 % annualized), subject to a "catch-up" provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. The hurdle rate is appropriately pro-rated for any partial periods. The calculation of the Company’s incentive fee with respect to the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:

• No incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0 % (the "preferred return" or "hurdle").

• 100.0 % of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5 % in any calendar quarter ( 10.0 % annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser. This portion of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5 %) is referred to as the "catch-up". The catch-up provision is intended to provide the Investment Adviser with an incentive fee of 20.0 % on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5 % in any calendar quarter.

• 20.0 % of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5 % in any calendar quarter ( 10.0 % annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved.

The Investment Adviser can voluntarily agree to waive a portion of the incentive fee that would otherwise have been earned during the period. The incentive fee waiver is made at the sole discretion of the Investment Adviser and is not required by any contractual or regulatory obligation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, incentive fees waived were approximately $ 4,544 and $ 8,664 . For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, no incentive fees were waived.

The second part of the incentive fee will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement) and will equal 20.0 % of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fee.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company accrues a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net realized capital gains and realized capital losses and the cumulative net unrealized capital appreciation and unrealized capital depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and are based only on actual realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year.

(1) As of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, no actual capital gains incentive fee was owed under the Investment Management Agreement by the Company, as cumulative net realized capital gains did not exceed cumulative unrealized capital depreciation.

The Company has entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator under which the Administrator provides administrative services. The Administration Agreement was most recently re-approved by the Company's board of directors on January 29, 2025 for a period of 12 months commencing on March 1, 2025. The Administrator maintains, or oversees the maintenance of, the Company’s consolidated financial records, prepares reports filed with the SEC, generally monitors the payment of the Company's expenses and oversees the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. The Company reimburses the Administrator for the Company's allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations to the Company under the Administration Agreement. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement and further restricted by the Company, the Administrator may, in its own discretion, submit to the Company for reimbursement some or all of the expenses that the Administrator has incurred on behalf of the Company during any quarterly period. As a result, the amount of expenses for which the Company will have to reimburse the Administrator may fluctuate in future quarterly periods and there can be no assurance given as to when, or if, the Administrator may determine to limit the expenses that the Administrator submits to the Company for reimbursement in the future. However, it is expected that the Administrator will continue to support part of the expense burden of the Company in the near future and may decide to not calculate and charge through certain overhead related amounts as well as continue to cover some of the indirect costs. The Administrator cannot recoup any expenses that the Administrator has previously waived. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately $ 599 and $ 1,944 , respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in administrative expenses, of which no expenses were waived by the Administrator. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 , approximately $ 618 and $ 1,804 , respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in administrative expenses, of which no expenses were waived by the Administrator. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $ 630 and $ 580 , respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in payable to affiliates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the reimbursement to the Administrator represented approximately 0.02 % and 0.06 %, respectively, of the Company's gross assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 , the reimbursement to the Administrator represented approximately 0.02 % and 0.05 % , respectively, of the Company's gross assets.

The Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have also entered into a Trademark License Agreement, as amended, with New Mountain Capital, pursuant to which New Mountain Capital has agreed to grant the Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the "New Mountain" and the "New Mountain Finance" names, as well as the NMF logo. Under the Trademark License Agreement, as amended, subject to certain conditions, the Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have a right to use the "New Mountain" and "New Mountain Finance" names, as well as the NMF logo, for so long as the Investment Adviser or one of its affiliates remains the investment adviser of the Company. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have no legal right to the "New Mountain" or the "New Mountain Finance" names, as well as the NMF logo.

Adviser, which includes any fees payable to the Investment Adviser under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, less expenses incurred by the Investment Adviser in performing its services under the Investment Management Agreement.

The Company has entered into the Fee Waiver Agreement with the Investment Adviser, pursuant to which the Investment Adviser originally agreed to voluntarily reduce the base management fees payable to the Investment Adviser by the Company under the Investment Management Agreement beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2021 through the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Subsequently, the Company and the Investment Adviser extended the term of the Fee Waiver Agreement to be effective through the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Following the expiration of the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Investment Adviser agreed to waive an amount of the base management fee that it may have been entitled to under the Investment Advisory Agreement for the period of January 1, 2025 through January 28, 2025, that would be in excess of an annual rate of 1.25 % of the Company's gross assets. See Note 5. Agreements , for details.

The Company has entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. The Administrator arranges office space for the Company and provides office equipment and administrative services necessary to conduct their respective day-to-day operations pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Company reimburses the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations to the Company under the Administration Agreement, which includes the fees and expenses associated with performing administrative, finance and compliance functions, and the compensation of the Company's chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs.

The Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have entered into a royalty-free Trademark License Agreement, as amended, with New Mountain Capital, pursuant to which New Mountain Capital has agreed to grant the Company, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name "New Mountain" and "New Mountain Finance", as well as the NMF logo.

The Company has adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of its officers and directors. These officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by the 1940 Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, to the Company’s investment mandates. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for the Company or for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that the Company should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff and consistent with the Investment Adviser’s allocation procedures. The Company may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with its affiliates without prior approval of the directors who are not interested persons, and in some cases, the prior approval of the SEC. The Investment Adviser and certain of its affiliates, were granted an order for exemptive relief that permitted co-investing with affiliates of the Company subject to various approvals of the Board and other conditions. On May 13, 2025, the Company, the Investment Adviser and certain of their affiliates were granted a new order for exemptive relief that superseded the prior order for exemptive relief (the “Exemptive Order”) by the SEC, that replaces the prior exemptive relief, for the Company to co-invest with other funds managed by the Investment Adviser or certain affiliates pursuant to the conditions of the Exemptive Order. Pursuant to such Exemptive Order, the Company generally is permitted to co-invest with certain of its affiliates if such co-investments are done on the same terms and at the same time, as further detailed in the Exemptive Order. The Exemptive Order requires that a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board make certain findings (1) in most instances when the Company co-invests with its affiliates in an issuer where an affiliate of the Company has an existing investment in the issuer, and (2) if the Company disposes of an asset acquired in a transaction under the Exemptive Order unless the disposition is done on a pro rata basis. Pursuant to the Exemptive Order, the Board will oversee the Company’s participation in the co-investment program. As required by the Exemptive Order, the Company has adopted, and the Board has approved, policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the terms of the Exemptive Order, and the Investment Adviser and the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer will provide reporting to the Board.

On March 30, 2020, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser purchased directly from NMNLC 105,030 shares of NMNLC’s common stock at a price of $ 107.73 per share, which represented the net asset value per share of NMNLC at the date of purchase, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 11,315 .

(1) Interest expense includes net expense recognized on fair value hedges.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance on the Unsecured Notes was $ 990,999 and $ 978,503 , respectively, and the Company was in compliance with the terms of the NPA and Indenture as of such dates, as applicable.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.875 % Unsecured Notes, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on March 22, 2024 with Morgan Stanley Bank N.A., in which the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 6.875 % and pays a floating interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.8183 % on the notional amount of $ 300,000 . In connection with the issuance of the 6.200 % Unsecured Notes, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on September 23, 2024 with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., in which the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 6.200 % and pays a floating rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.882 % on the notional amount of $ 300,000 . The Company designates interest rate swaps as fair value hedges in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship to mitigate risk of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities due to interest rate risk. As a result, the Company will present changes in fair value of the hedging instruments and the related hedged items in interest expense within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company recorded and formally documented all hedging relationships, its risk management objective and strategy upon entering into each hedging relationship. For each hedging relationship, the Company performs quarterly quantitative assessments of the hedge effectiveness to assess that the hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair

108

Table of Contents

values of hedged items and whether the relationship is expected to continue to be highly effective in the future. To the extent the changes in fair value of the derivative do not offset the changes in fair value of the hedged item, the difference is recognized. The corresponding adjustment to the hedged asset or liability is included in the basis of the hedged item, while the corresponding change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded as an adjustment to "Derivative assets at fair value" or "Derivative liabilities at fair value", as applicable.

If a hedge relationship is de-designated or if hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer exists, the derivative will continue to be recorded as a "Derivative asset at fair value" or "Derivative liability at fair value" in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities at its fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

The following table presents the effect of hedging derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the total amounts for the respective line items affected:

The Company’s derivative instrument contracts are subject to ISDA Master Agreements which contain certain covenants and other provisions upon the occurrence of specific credit-risk-related events which may allow the counterparties to terminate derivatives contracts if the Company fails to maintain sufficient asset coverage for its derivative contracts or upon certain credit events. As a result, the hedging relationship terminates and is immediately accelerated and deemed payable pursuant to the ISDA Master Agreement.

The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments with any credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net asset position on September 30, 2025 was $ 5,013 and a net liability position on December 31, 2024 was $ 7,423 , respectively, for which Morgan Stanley Bank N.A. had posted collateral of $ 13,460 and $ 3,230 , respectively. The Company does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments.

SBA-guaranteed debentures —On August 1, 2014, August 25, 2017 and July 15, 2025, respectively, SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III received licenses from the SBA to operate as SBICs.

These SBIC licenses allow each of SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III to obtain leverage in the form of SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to the SBA's customary commitment and draw application procedures. SBA debentures are non-recourse, interest only debentures with interest payable semi-annually and have a ten year maturity. The principal amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures is not required to be paid prior to maturity but may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest rate of SBA-guaranteed debentures is fixed on a semi-annual basis at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten year maturities. The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to the assets of SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III over the Company's stockholders in the event SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III are liquidated or the SBA exercises its remedies upon an event of default.

(1) SBA-guaranteed debentures are held by SBIC I.

(2) SBA-guaranteed debentures are held by SBIC II.

Prior to pooling, the SBA-guaranteed debentures bear interest at an interim interest rate equal to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago's Fixed Regular Advance Rate (Bank Advance Rate) , plus 41 basis points. Once pooled, which occurs in March and September each year, the SBA-guaranteed debentures bear interest at a fixed rate that is set to the current 10-year treasury rate plus a spread at each pooling date.

The SBIC program is designed to stimulate the flow of private investor capital into eligible small businesses, as defined by SBA regulations that, among other things: require SBICs to invest in eligible small businesses and invest at least 25.0% of investment capital in eligible smaller enterprises (as defined by the SBA regulations), place certain limitations on the financing terms of investments, regulate the types of financing provided by an SBIC, prohibit investments in small businesses with certain characteristics or in certain industries, and require capitalization thresholds that limit distributions to the Company. SBICs are subject to periodic examination by an SBA examiner to determine the SBIC's compliance with the relevant SBA

regulations and an annual financial audit of its financial statements that are prepared on a basis of accounting other than GAAP (such as ASC 820) and in accordance with the SBA's SBIC Valuation Guidelines by an independent auditor.

Leverage risk factors —The Company utilizes and may utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by the law for investment and other general business purposes. The Company's lenders will have fixed dollar claims on certain assets that are superior to the claims of the Company's common stockholders, and the Company would expect such lenders to seek recovery against these assets in the event of a default. The use of leverage also magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested. Leverage may magnify interest rate risk (particularly on the Company's fixed-rate investments), which is the risk that the prices of portfolio investments will fall or rise if market interest rates for those types of securities rise or fall. As a result, leverage may cause greater changes in the Company's net asset value. Similarly, leverage may cause a sharper decline in the Company's income than if the Company had not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect the Company's ability to make distributions to its stockholders. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. The Company's ability to service any debt incurred will depend largely on financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures.

Note 8. Regulation

The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to continue to qualify and be subject to tax treatment as a RIC, among other things, the Company is generally required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90.0% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company, among other things, intends to make and will continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes (excluding excise taxes which may be imposed under the Code).

Additionally, as a BDC, the Company must not acquire any assets other than "qualifying assets" as defined in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70.0% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). In addition, the Company must offer to make available to all "eligible portfolio companies" (as defined in the 1940 Act) significant managerial assistance.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Company may also enter into future funding commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge financing commitments or delayed draw commitments. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities of $ 147,540 , no outstanding bridge financing commitments and other future funding commitments of $ 108,376 . As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities of $ 126,723 , no outstanding bridge financing commitments and other future funding commitments of $ 116,953 . The unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities and delayed draws are disclosed on the Company’s Consolidated Schedules of Investments.

The Company also had revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility, the NMFC Credit Facility and the Unsecured Management Company Revolver, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. See Note 7. Borrowings , for details.

The Company may from time to time enter into financing commitment letters. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had commitment letters to purchase investments in the aggregate par amount of $ 4,727 and $ 83,638 , respectively, which could require funding in the future.

Note 13. Recent Accounting Standards Updates

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, within relevant income statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning with the first quarter ended March 31, 2028. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 14. Segment Reporting

The Company operates through a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the CODM assesses the performance and makes operating decisions of the Company on a consolidated basis primarily based on the Company’s net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations (“net income”). In addition to numerous other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes net income as a key metric in determining the amount of dividends to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders. As the Company’s operations comprise of a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as “total assets” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

On October 15, 2025, the Company repaid the outstanding principal of $ 258,777 and accrued but unpaid interest in cash on the 2022 Convertible Notes, which matured on October 15, 2025.

On October 23, 2025, the Company's board of directors authorized and established the Repurchase Program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $ 100,000 worth of the Company's common stock. The Company expects the Repurchase Program to be in place until the earlier of December 31, 2026 or until $ 100,000 of its outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.

On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Loan Agreement, which amended the Unsecured Management Company Revolver to, among other things, extend the maturity date from December 31, 2027 to December 31, 2030.

On October 28, 2025, the Company’s board of directors declared a fourth quarter 2025 distribution of $ 0.32 per share, payable on December 31, 2025 to holders of record as of December 17, 2025.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of New Mountain Finance Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of New Mountain Finance Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Company, including the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Overview

We are a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29, 2010 and completed our initial public offering ("IPO") on May 19, 2011. We are a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). We have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Since our IPO, and through September 30, 2025, we have raised approximately $1,034.6 million in net proceeds from additional offerings of our common stock.

The Investment Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. New Mountain Capital is a global investment firm with approximately $60 billion of assets under management and a track record of investing in the middle market. New Mountain Capital focuses on investing in defensive growth companies across its private equity, credit and net

lease investment strategies. The Investment Adviser manages our day-to-day operations and provides us with investment advisory and management services. The Investment Adviser also manages other funds that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, to ours. New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the "Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital, provides the administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations.

We have established the following wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries:

• NMF Ancora Holdings, Inc. ("NMF Ancora"), NMF QID NGL Holdings, Inc. ("NMF QID"), NMF YP Holdings, Inc. ("NMF YP"), NMF Permian Holdings, LLC ("NMF Permian"), NMF HB, Inc. ("NMF HB"), NMF TRM, LLC ("NMF TRM"), NMF Pioneer, Inc. ("NMF Pioneer") and NMF OEC, Inc. ("NMF OEC"), which are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are intended to facilitate our compliance with the requirements to be treated as a RIC under the Code by holding equity or equity related investments in portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies (or other forms of pass-through entities); we consolidate these corporations for accounting purposes but the corporations are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may incur income tax expense as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies; and

• New Mountain Finance Servicing, L.L.C. ("NMF Servicing"), which serves as the administrative agent on certain investment transactions.

New Mountain Net Lease Corporation ("NMNLC") is a majority-owned consolidated subsidiary of ours, which acquires commercial real estate properties that are subject to "triple net" leases has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code.

We are a leading BDC focused on providing direct lending solutions to U.S. upper middle market companies backed by top private equity sponsors. Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of senior secured loans and select junior capital positions, to growing businesses in defensive industries that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns. Our differentiated investment approach leverages the deep sector knowledge and operating resources of New Mountain Capital.

Senior secured loans may include traditional first lien loans or unitranche loans. We invest a significant portion of our portfolio in unitranche loans, which are loans that combine both senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first-lien position. Because unitranche loans combine characteristics of senior and subordinated debt, they have risks similar to the risks associated with secured debt and subordinated debt. Certain unitranche loan investments may include “last-out” positions, which generally heighten the risk of loss. In some cases, our investments may also include equity interests.

We primarily invest in senior secured debt of U.S. sponsor-backed, middle market companies. We define middle market companies as those with annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") of $10 million to $200 million. Our focus is on defensive growth businesses that generally exhibit the following characteristics: (i) acyclicality, (ii) sustainable secular growth drivers, (iii) niche market dominance and high barriers to competitive entry, (iv) recurring revenue and strong free cash flow, (v) flexible cost structures and (vi) seasoned management teams.

Similar to us, the investment objective of each of SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III, is to generate current income and capital appreciation under the investment criteria we use. However, SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III investments must be in SBA eligible small businesses. Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries. As of September 30, 2025, our top five industry concentrations were software, business services, healthcare, investment funds (which includes our investments in our joint ventures) and consumer services.

As of September 30, 2025, our net asset value was approximately $1,256.6 million and our portfolio had a fair value, as determined in good faith by the board of directors, of approximately $2,943.6 million in 126 portfolio companies, with a weighted average yield to maturity at cost for income producing investments ("YTM at Cost") of approximately 10.4% and a weighted average yield to maturity at cost for all investments ("YTM at Cost for Investments") of approximately 10.0%. The YTM at Cost calculation assumes that all investments, including secured collateralized agreements, not on non-accrual are purchased at cost on the quarter end date and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at

Table of Contents

par at maturity. The YTM at Cost for Investments calculation assumes that all investments, including secured collateralized agreements, are purchased at cost on the quarter end date and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. YTM at Cost and YTM at Cost for Investments calculations exclude the impact of existing leverage. YTM at Cost and YTM at Cost for Investments use Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate ("SONIA"), Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") curves at each quarter's end date. The actual yield to maturity may be higher or lower due to the future selection of the SONIA, SOFR and EURIBOR contracts by the individual companies in our portfolio or other factors.

Recent Developments

On October 15, 2025, we repaid the outstanding principal of $258.7 million and accrued but unpaid interest in cash on the 2022 Convertible Notes, which matured on October 15, 2025.

On October 23, 2025, our board of directors authorized and established a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $100.0 million of our common stock (the "Repurchase Program"). We expect the Repurchase Program to be in place until the earlier of December 31, 2026 or until $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.

On October 28, 2025, our board of directors declared a fourth quarter 2025 distribution of $0.32 per share payable on December 31, 2025 to holders of record as of December 17, 2025.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

Basis of Accounting

We consolidate our wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries: NMF Holdings, NMF Servicing, NMFDB, SBIC I, SBIC I GP, SBIC II, SBIC II GP, SBIC III, SBIC III GP, NMF Ancora, NMF QID, NMF YP, NMF Permian, NMF HB, NMF TRM, NMF Pioneer and NMF OEC and our majority-owned consolidated subsidiary, NMNLC. We are an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance as described in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies ("ASC 946").

Valuation and Leveling of Portfolio Investments

At all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act, we conduct a valuation of our assets, which impacts our net asset value.

We value our assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, our board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of our portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where our portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Our quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:

(1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing price indicated from independent pricing services.

a. Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and, if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and

120

Table of Contents

b. For investments other than bonds, we look at the number of quotes readily available and perform the following procedures:

i. Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained. We will evaluate the reasonableness of the quote, and if the quote is determined to not be representative of fair value, we will use one or more of the methodologies outlined below to determine fair value;

ii. Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).

(3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:

a. Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;

b. Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with our senior management;

c. If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which we do not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors; and

d. When deemed appropriate by our management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.

The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.

GAAP fair value measurement guidance classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:

Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and we have the ability to access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), we, to the extent that we hold such investments, do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);

• Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

121

Table of Contents

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels. In all instances when the inputs fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. As such, a Level III fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable and unobservable. Gains and losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs and unobservable inputs.

See Item 1 .— Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 4. Fair Value in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2025.

We generally use the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there are little, if any, market activity or observable pricing inputs. We typically determine the fair value of our performing debt investments utilizing an income approach. Additional consideration is given using a market based approach, as well as reviewing the overall underlying portfolio company's performance and associated financial risks. The following outlines additional details on the approaches considered:

Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis: Prior to investment, as part of our due diligence process, we evaluate the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, we analyze each portfolio company's current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and changes to its capital structure. We also attempt to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of our original investment thesis. This analysis is specific to each portfolio company. We leverage the knowledge gained from our original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine our outlook for each of our portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of our investment in each portfolio company. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.

For debt investments, we may employ the Market Based Approach (as described below) to assess the total enterprise value of the portfolio company, in order to evaluate the enterprise value coverage of our debt investment. For equity investments or in cases where the Market Based Approach implies a lack of enterprise value coverage for the debt investment, we may additionally employ a discounted cash flow analysis based on the free cash flows of the portfolio company to assess the total enterprise value. After enterprise value coverage is demonstrated for our debt investments through the method(s) above, the Income Based Approach (as described below) may be employed to estimate the fair value of the investment.

Market Based Approach: We may estimate the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing EBITDA or revenue multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions. We consider numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value our portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, and relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. We may apply an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA or revenue multiples to the portfolio company's latest twelve month ("LTM") EBITDA or revenue, or projected EBITDA or revenue to calculate the enterprise value of the portfolio company. Significant increases or decreases in the EBITDA or revenue multiples will result in an increase or decrease in enterprise value, which may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of the investment.

Income Based Approach: We also may use a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment. Projected cash flows represent the relevant security's contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the investment's expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a combination of a yield calibration approach and a comparable investment approach. The yield calibration approach incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. The comparable investment approach utilizes an average yield-to maturity of a selected set of high-quality, liquid investments to determine a comparable investment discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement.

Collateralized agreements or repurchase financings

We follow the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral ("ASC 860") when accounting for transactions involving the purchases of securities under collateralized agreements to resell (resale agreements). These transactions are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. Interest on collateralized agreements is accrued and recognized over the life of the transaction and included in interest income. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held one collateralized agreement to resell with a cost basis of $30.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, and a fair value of $13.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively. The collateralized agreement to resell is on non-accrual. The collateralized agreement to resell is guaranteed by a private hedge fund, PPVA Fund, L.P. The private hedge fund is currently in liquidation under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to the terms of the collateralized agreement, the private hedge fund was obligated to repurchase the collateral from us at the par value of the collateralized agreement. The private hedge fund has breached its agreement to repurchase the collateral under the collateralized agreement. The default by the private hedge fund did not release the collateral to us, therefore, we do not have full rights and title to the collateral. A claim has been filed with the Cayman Islands joint official liquidators to resolve this matter. The joint official liquidators have recognized our contractual rights under the collateralized agreement. We continue to exercise our rights under the collateralized agreement and continue to monitor the liquidation process of the private hedge fund. The fair value of the collateralized agreement to resell is reflective of the increased risk of the position.

PPVA Black Elk (Equity) LLC

On May 3, 2013, we entered into a collateralized securities purchase and put agreement (the “SPP Agreement”) with a private hedge fund. Under the SPP Agreement, we purchased twenty million Class E Preferred Units of Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations, LLC (“Black Elk”) for $20.0 million with a corresponding obligation of the private hedge fund, PPVA Black Elk (Equity) LLC, to repurchase the preferred units for $20.0 million plus other amounts due under the SPP Agreement. The majority owner of Black Elk was the private hedge fund. In August 2014, we received a payment of $20.5 million, the full amount due under the SPP Agreement.

In August 2017, a trustee (the “Trustee”) for Black Elk informed us that the Trustee intended to assert a fraudulent conveyance claim (the “Claim”) against us and one of its affiliates seeking the return of the $20.5 million repayment. Black Elk filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in August 2015. The Trustee alleged that individuals affiliated with the private hedge fund conspired with Black Elk and others to improperly use proceeds from the sale of certain Black Elk assets to repay, in August 2014, the private hedge fund’s obligation to us under the SPP Agreement. We were unaware of these claims at the time the repayment was received. The private hedge fund is currently in liquidation under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

On December 22, 2017, we settled the Trustee’s $20.5 million Claim for $16.0 million and filed a claim with the Cayman Islands joint official liquidators of the private hedge fund for $16.0 million that is owed to us under the SPP Agreement. The SPP Agreement was restored and is in effect since repayment has not been made. We continue to exercise our rights under the SPP Agreement and continue to monitor the liquidation process of the private hedge fund. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received a $1.5 million payment from our insurance carrier in respect to the settlement. As of

125

Table of Contents

September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the SPP Agreement had a cost basis of $14.5 million and $14.5 million, respectively, and a fair value of $6.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, which is reflective of the higher inherent risk in this transaction.

Revenue Recognition

Sales and paydowns of investments: Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.

Interest and dividend income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. We have loans and certain preferred equity investments in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividend provision. PIK interest and dividends are accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest and dividends are added to the principal or share balances on the capitalization dates and are generally due at maturity or when redeemed by the issuer. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 we recognized PIK interest from investments of approximately $7.6 million and $22.1 million, respectively, and non-cash dividends from investments of approximately $7.3 million and $22.1 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 we recognized PIK interest from investments of approximately $9.1 million and $27.7 million, respectively, and non-cash dividends from investments of approximately $8.3 million and $23.5 million, respectively.

Non-accrual income: Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due for 30 days or more and when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest or dividends are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends are not reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment of the ultimate collectibility. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.

Other income: Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees, structuring fees, upfront fees and other miscellaneous fees received and are typically non-recurring in nature. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date. Other income may also include fees from bridge loans. We may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded. A fee is received for providing such commitments. Structuring fees and upfront fees are recognized as income when earned, usually when paid at the closing of the investment, and are non-refundable.

Monitoring of Portfolio Investments

We monitor the performance and financial trends of our portfolio companies on at least a quarterly basis. We attempt to identify any developments within the portfolio company, the industry or the macroeconomic environment that may alter any material element of our original investment strategy. Our portfolio monitoring procedures are designed to provide a simple yet comprehensive analysis of our portfolio companies based on their operating performance and underlying business characteristics, which in turn forms the basis of its Risk Rating (as defined below).

We use an investment risk rating system to characterize and monitor the credit profile and expected level of returns on each investment in the portfolio. As such, we assign each investment a composite score (“Risk Rating”) based on two metrics – 1) Operating Performance and 2) Business Characteristics:

• Operating Performance assesses the health of the investment in context of its financial performance and the market environment it faces. The metric is expressed in Tiers of “4” to “1”, with “4” being the best and “1” being the worst:

◦ Tier 4 – Business performance is in-line with or above expectations

◦ Tier 3 – Moderate business underperformance and/or moderate market headwinds

◦ Tier 2 – Significant business underperformance and/or significant market headwinds

◦ Tier 1 – Severe business underperformance and/or severe market headwinds

126

Table of Contents

• Business Characteristics assesses the health of the investment in context of the underlying portfolio company’s business and credit quality, the underlying portfolio company’s current balance sheet, and the level of support from the equity sponsor. The metric is expressed as on a qualitative scale of “A” to “C”, with “A” being the best and “C” being the worst.

The Risk Rating for each investment is a composite of these two metrics. The Risk Rating is expressed in categories of Green, Yellow, Orange and Red, with Green reflecting an investment that is in-line with or above expectations and Red reflecting an investment performing materially below expectations. The mapping of the composite scores to these categories are below:

• Green – 4C, 3B, 2A, 4B, 3A, and 4A (e.g., Tier 4 for Operating Performance and C for Business Characteristics)

• Yellow – 3C, 2B, and 1A

• Orange – 2C and 1B

• Red – 1C

The following table shows the Risk Rating of our portfolio companies as of September 30, 2025:

Our total net operating expenses decreased by approximately $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our management fee, net of a management fee waiver, decreased by approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in management fee was primarily attributable to a lower invested asset base. Our incentive fee, net of an incentive fee waiver, decreased by approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in incentives fees was primarily attributable to an incentive fee waiver by the Investment Advisor, along with a decrease in investment income. Interest and other financing expenses decreased by approximately $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in interest and other financing expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in total outstanding borrowings. Our total professional fees, administrative expenses and total other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 remained relatively flat.

Our net realized gains and unrealized losses resulted in a net loss of approximately $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net realized losses and unrealized gains and losses resulting in a net loss of approximately $11.5 million for the same period in 2024. As movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations, we look at net realized and unrealized gains or losses together. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by unrealized depreciation in TVG-Edmentum Holdings, LLC ("Edmentum"), ACI Parent Inc. and TMK Hawk Parent, Corp, partially offset by unrealized appreciation on Dealer Tire Holdings, LLC. The provision for income taxes was attributable to equity investments that are held as of September 30, 2025 in eight of our corporate subsidiaries. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by unrealized depreciation in New Permian Holdco, Inc., Edmentum and AAC, partially offset by unrealized appreciation in HB Wealth Management, LLC ("Homrich"), NM NL Holdings, L.P. and NM YI, LLC.

Other income	6,406		8,582
Total investment income	$	249,682	$	280,471

Our total investment income decreased by approximately $30.8 million, or 11%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total investment income of approximately $249.7 million consisted of approximately $153.9 million in cash interest from investments, approximately $22.1 million in PIK interest from investments, approximately $0.3 million in prepayment fees, net amortization of purchase premiums and discounts of approximately $7.5 million, approximately $37.4 million in cash dividends from investments, approximately $22.1 million in non-cash dividends from investments and approximately $6.4 million in other income. The decrease in interest income of approximately $25.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a lower invested asset base, along with slightly lower yields on the portfolio. The decrease in dividend income of approximately $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to decrease in equity investments held along with a cash distribution received in 2024 from our common shares investment in OA Topco, L.P. Other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which represents fees that are generally non-recurring in nature, was primarily attributable to upfront and amendment fees received from 33 different portfolio companies.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for repayment of indebtedness, investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to our stockholders or for other general corporate purposes.

Since our IPO, and through September 30, 2025, we have raised approximately $1,034.6 million in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock.

Our liquidity is generated and generally available through advances from the revolving credit facilities, from cash flows from operations, and, we expect, through periodic follow-on equity offerings. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. On June 8, 2018 our shareholders approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act, which resulted in the reduction of the minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to us from 200.0% to 150.0% as of June 9, 2018. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, is at least 150.0% after such borrowing (which means we can borrow $2 for every $1 of our equity). As a result of our exemptive relief received on November 5, 2014, we are permitted to exclude the SBA-guaranteed debentures of SBIC I, SBIC II and SBIC III from the definition of "senior securities" in the asset coverage requirement applicable to us under the 1940 Act. The agreements governing the NMFC Credit Facility, the 2022 Convertible

Table of Contents

Notes and certain of the Unsecured Notes (as defined in Item 1— Financial Statements—Note 7. Borrowings in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) contain certain covenants and terms, including a requirement that we not exceed a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.65 to 1.00 at the time of incurring additional indebtedness and a requirement that we not exceed a secured debt ratio of 0.70 to 1.00 at any time. As of September 30, 2025, our asset coverage ratio was 179.1%.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our borrowings consisted of the 2021A Unsecured Notes, 2022A Unsecured Notes, 8.250% Unsecured Notes, 6.875% Unsecured Notes, 6.200% Unsecured Notes, SBA-guaranteed debentures, 2022 Convertible Notes, Holdings Credit Facility, NMFC Credit Facility and Unsecured Management Company Revolver. See Item 1—Financial Statements —Note 7. Borrowings in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $63.7 million and $80.3 million, respectively. Our cash provided by (used in) operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was approximately $217.4 million and $(153.2) million, respectively. We expect that all current liquidity needs will be met with cash flows from operations and other activities.

On November 3, 2021, we entered into an equity distribution agreement, as amended on May 18, 2023, August 23, 2023, June 27, 2024 and August 1, 2024 (the “Distribution Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Distribution Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., and Citizens JMP Securities, LLC (collectively, the "Agents") for the purpose of adding Citizens JMP Securities, LLC as an Agent. The Distribution Agreement originally provided that we may issue and sell our shares from time to time through the Agents, up to $250.0 million worth of our common stock by means of at-the-market ("ATM") offerings. As of the amendment on June 27, 2024, we increased the maximum amount of shares to be sold through the ATM program from $250.0 million to $400.0 million.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we did not sell any shares of common stock under the Distribution Agreement. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we did not sell any shares of common stock under the Distribution Agreement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 5,292,556 shares of common stock under the Distribution Agreement and received total accumulated net proceeds of approximately $67.7 million, including $0.0 million of offering expenses, from these sales.

We generally use net proceeds from these ATM offerings to make investments, to pay down liabilities and for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2025, shares representing approximately $258.0 million of our common stock remain available for issuance and sale under the Distribution Agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Agreements

We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding commitments to third parties to fund investments totaling $255.9 million and $243.7 million, respectively, under various undrawn revolving credit facilities, delayed draw commitments or other future funding commitments.

We may from time to time enter into financing commitment letters or bridge financing commitments, which could require funding in the future. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had commitment letters to purchase investments in an aggregate par amount of $4.7 million and $83.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had not entered into any bridge financing commitments which could require funding in the future.

(3) The 2022 Convertible Notes matured and were fully repaid on October 15, 2025.

(4) The SBA-guaranteed debentures held by SBIC I and SBIC II began to mature on March 1, 2025. On February 28, 2025, SBIC I repaid $37.5 million of guaranteed debentures that were due on March 1, 2025. On August 29, 2025 SBIC I repaid $66.3 million of guaranteed debentures that were due on September 1, 2025.

(5) Under the terms of the $527.1 million NMFC Credit Facility, all outstanding borrowings under that facility ($31.0 million, which included €16.5 million denominated in EUR and £8.7 million denominated in GBP that have been converted to U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2025) must be repaid on or before September 28, 2029. As of September 30, 2025, there was approximately $496.1 million of available capacity remaining, subject to borrowing base limitations, under the NMFC Credit Facility.

(6) Under the terms of the $100.0 million Unsecured Management Company Revolver, all outstanding borrowings under that facility must be repaid on or before December 31, 2027. As of September 30, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding.

We have entered into an investment management and advisory agreement (the "Investment Management Agreement") with the Investment Adviser in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser has agreed to provide us with investment advisory and management services. We have agreed to pay for these services (1) a management fee and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance.

We have also entered into the administration agreement, as amended and restated (the "Administration Agreement") with the Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator has agreed to arrange office space for us and provide office equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services and other administrative services necessary to conduct our respective day-to-day operations. The Administrator has also agreed to maintain, or oversee the maintenance of, our financial records, our reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC.

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that are entered into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under the Investment Management Agreement and the Administration Agreement.

(1) Tax characteristics of all distributions paid are reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total distributions were $147.2 million and $150.7 million, respectively, of which the distributions were comprised of approximately 75.68% and 93.14%, respectively, of ordinary income, 0.00% and 6.86%, respectively, of qualified income, 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively, of long-term capital gains and approximately 24.32% and 0.00%, respectively, of a return of capital.

(3) Special distribution of excess undistributed taxable income, driven primarily from the gain realized on our investment in Haven Midstream Holdings LLC.

We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders in amounts sufficient to maintain our status as a RIC. We intend to distribute approximately all of our net investment income on a quarterly basis and substantially all of our taxable income on an annual basis, except that we may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.

We maintain an "opt out" dividend reinvestment plan on behalf of our common stockholders, pursuant to which each of our stockholders' cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless the stockholder elects to receive cash. See Item 1— Financial Statements—Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details regarding our dividend reinvestment plan.

Following the expiration of the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Investment Adviser agreed to waive an amount of the base management fee that it may have been entitled to under the Investment Advisory Agreement for the period of January 1, 2025 through January 28, 2025, that would be in excess of an annual rate of 1.25% of our gross assets. See Item 1— Financial Statements—Note 5. Agreements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details.

• We have entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. The Administrator arranges our office space and provides office equipment and administrative services necessary to conduct our respective day-to-day operations pursuant to the Administration Agreement. We reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations to us under the Administration Agreement, which includes the fees and expenses associated with performing administrative, finance, and compliance functions, and the compensation of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement and further restricted by us, the Administrator may, in its own discretion, submit to us for reimbursement some or all of the expenses that the Administrator has incurred on our behalf during any quarterly period. As a result, the amount of expenses for which we will have to reimburse the Administrator may fluctuate in future quarterly periods and there can be no assurance given as to when, or if, the Administrator may determine to limit the expenses that the Administrator submits to us for reimbursement in the future. However, it is expected that the Administrator will continue to support part of our expense burden in the near future and may decide to not calculate and charge through certain overhead related amounts as well as continue to cover some of the indirect costs. The Administrator cannot recoup any expenses that the Administrator has previously waived. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 approximately $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in administrative expenses, of which no expenses were waived by the Administrator. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $0.6 million of indirect administrative expenses were included in payable to affiliates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the reimbursement to the Administrator represented approximately 0.02% and 0.06%, respectively, of our gross assets.

• We, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have entered into a royalty-free Trademark License Agreement, as amended, with New Mountain Capital, pursuant to which New Mountain Capital has agreed to grant us, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name "New Mountain" and "New Mountain Finance", as well as the NMF logo.

In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our officers and directors, which is available on our website at www.newmountainfinance.com. These officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by the 1940 Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, to our investment mandates. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with the Investment Adviser's allocation procedures. The Company may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with its affiliates without prior approval of the directors who are not interested persons, and in some cases, the prior approval of the SEC. The Investment Adviser and certain of its affiliates, were granted an order for exemptive relief that permitted co-investing with affiliates of the Company subject to various approvals of the Board and other conditions. On May 13, 2025, the Company, the Investment Adviser and certain of their affiliates were granted a new order for exemptive relief that superseded the prior order for exemptive relief (the “Exemptive Order”) by the SEC, that replaces the prior exemptive relief, for the Company to co-invest with other funds managed by the Investment Adviser or certain affiliates pursuant to the conditions of the Exemptive Order. Pursuant to such Exemptive Order, the Company generally is permitted to co-invest with certain of its affiliates if such co-

136

Table of Contents

investments are done on the same terms and at the same time, as further detailed in the Exemptive Order. The Exemptive Order requires that a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board make certain findings (1) in most instances when the Company co-invests with its affiliates in an issuer where an affiliate of the Company has an existing investment in the issuer, and (2) if the Company disposes of an asset acquired in a transaction under the Exemptive Order unless the disposition is done on a pro rata basis. Pursuant to the Exemptive Order, the Board will oversee the Company’s participation in the co-investment program. As required by the Exemptive Order, the Company has adopted, and the Board has approved, policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the terms of the Exemptive Order, and the Investment Adviser and the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer will provide reporting to the Board.

On March 30, 2020, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser purchased directly from NMNLC 105,030 shares of NMNLC’s common stock at a price of $107.73 per share, which represented the net asset value per share of NMNLC at the date of purchase, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.3 million. Immediately thereafter, NMNLC redeemed 105,030 shares of its common stock held by NMFC in exchange for a promissory note with a principal amount of $11.3 million and a 7.0% interest rate, which was repaid by NMNLC to NMFC on March 31, 2020. Effective July 1, 2024, NMNLC purchased 63,575 shares of NMNLC's common stock from an affiliate of the Investment Adviser at remaining original cost, a price of $73.39 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.7 million. Immediately thereafter, NMNLC sold the 63,575 shares of its common stock to NMFC at remaining original cost, a price of $73.39 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.7 million.

On March 30, 2020, we entered into the Uncommitted Revolving Loan Agreement with NMF Investments III, L.L.C., an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, with a $30.0 million maximum amount of revolver borrowings available and a maturity date of December 31, 2022. On May 4, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Loan Agreement with NMF Investments III, L.L.C., which increased the maximum amounts of revolving borrowings available thereunder from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. On December 17, 2021, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Loan Agreement with NMF Investments III, L.L.C., which lowered the interest rate and extended the maturity date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. On October 31, 2023, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Loan Agreement with NMF Investments III, L.L.C., which increased the maximum amount of revolving borrowings thereunder from $50.0 million to $100.0 million, extended the maturity date from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2027 and changed the interest rate to the Applicable Federal Rate. Refer to Item 1 — Financial Statements — Note 7. Borrowings for discussion of the Unsecured Management Company Revolver.

NMFC and SBIC I are parties to an intercompany promissory note (the "Intercompany Note"). The Intercompany Note has a principal balance of $59.0 million and the purpose is to fund the repayment of the SBA guaranteed-debentures issued by SBIC I. Under the terms of the Intercompany Note, no fees or interest are payable to NMFC. For the purposes of the consolidated financial statements, all balances and transactions related to the Intercompany Note are eliminated.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to certain financial market risks, such as interest rate fluctuations. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. The Federal Reserve decreased interest rates by 0.25% in September and October of 2025 and previously held interest rates steady in the first and second quarters of 2025. The Federal Reserve has indicated it will consider additional rate reductions in the near term; however, future reductions to benchmark rates are not certain. In a high interest rate environment, our net investment income would increase due to an increase in interest and dividend income generated by our investment portfolio. However, our cost of funds would also increase, which would also impact net investment income. It is possible that the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle could result in a recession in the United States, which would likely decrease interest rates. Alternatively, in a prolonged low interest rate environment, including a reduction of base rates, such as SONIA or SOFR, to zero, the difference between the total interest and dividend income earned on interest earning assets and the total interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities may be compressed, reducing our net interest income and potentially adversely affecting our operating results. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, certain of the investments held in our portfolio had floating SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR or Prime interest rates. As of September 30, 2025, approximately 85.39% of our investments at fair value (excluding investments on non-accrual, unfunded debt investments and non-dividend bearing equity investments) represent floating-rate investments with a SOFR, SONIA or EURIBOR floor (includes investments bearing prime interest rate contracts) and approximately 14.61% of investments at fair value represent fixed-rate investments. Additionally, our senior secured revolving credit facilities are also subject to floating interest rates and are currently paid based on the floating SOFR, SONIA or EURIBOR rates.

The following table estimates the potential changes in interest and dividend income, net of interest expense, should interest rates decrease by 200, 150, 100 or 50 basis points, or increase by 50, 100, 150 or 200 basis points. Interest and dividend income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from our portfolio of investments held on September 30, 2025. Interest expense is calculated based on the terms of our outstanding revolving credit facilities, convertible notes and unsecured notes. For our credit facilities, we use the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2025. This analysis does not take into account the impact of the incentive fee or other expenses. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of September 30, 2025, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates.

Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table.


Change in Interest Rates	Estimated Percentage Change in Interest and Dividend Income Net of Interest Expense (unaudited)
-200 Basis Points	(15.77)	%
-150 Basis Points	(11.83)	%
-100 Basis Points	(7.89)	%
-50 Basis Points	(3.94)	%

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2025 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We, our consolidated subsidiaries, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator are not currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings as of September 30, 2025. From time to time, we or our consolidated subsidiaries may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results, including the Risk Factor titled "Small Business Credit Availability Act allows us to incur additional leverage, which could increase the risk of investing in our securities". The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 4, 2016, our board of directors authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $50.0 million worth of our common stock (the "Old Repurchase Program"). Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2025, on October 23, 2025, our board of directors authorized a new program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $100.0 million worth of our common stock (the "Repurchase Program").

Under the Old Repurchase Program and the Repurchase Program, we were permitted, but were not obligated, to repurchase our outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time, provided that we complied with our code of ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. In addition, any repurchases were conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Old Repurchase Program terminated on October 8, 2025 upon the repurchase of $50.0 million of our common stock. We expect the Repurchase Program to be in place until the earlier of December 31, 2026 or until $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.

As of September 30, 2025, approximately $40.2 million of common stock has been repurchased by us under the Old Repurchase Program.
