Capital Southwest reports Q2 FY2027 results and expands credit facility

Capital Southwest Corporation released its fiscal second‑quarter 2027 earnings. The BDC posted total investment income of $67.2 million and GAAP earnings per share of $0.33, while revenue reached $67.2 million, beating forecasts. The company also amended, extended and upsized its corporate credit facility to $595 million and issued $350 million of 6.75% unsecured notes, raising its liquidity to about $647 million. Management highlighted a modest rise in non‑accrual loans to 1.4% and a higher portfolio rating, while confirming quarterly dividend payments of $0.1934 per share.

The earnings miss on EPS may pressure the dividend coverage ratio, a key metric for income‑focused investors (the company noted dividend sustainability concerns). The larger credit facility and note issuance improve liquidity and extend debt maturities to 2029, reducing refinancing risk for shareholders.
