Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with "Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements." This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events, our future performance or financial condition and involves numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors outside of our control including, but not limited to, those set forth in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and elsewhere in this report. Actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in any forward-looking statements.
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties, which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "project," "estimate," "intend," "continue" or "believe" or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Statements that contain these words should be read carefully because they discuss Senior Credit Investments, LLC (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") plans, strategies, prospects and expectations concerning our business, operating results, financial condition and other similar matters. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. The forward-looking statements include information in this report regarding general domestic and global economic conditions, our future financing plans, our ability to operate as a business development company ("BDC") and the expected performance of, and the yield on, debt investments in our portfolio companies (the "Portfolio Companies"), each of which is a borrower or with which we have some other form of investment.
The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements in this report:
Overview
We are a private, perpetually offered, externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, which has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). We are externally managed by the Investment Adviser, which is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. Our Investment Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under the Code.
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") with the Investment Adviser, under which we have agreed to pay the Investment Adviser a management fee as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. We have entered into an administration agreement (the "Administration Agreement") with Alter Domus (US) LLC (the "Administrator"), under which we pay the Administrator fees for its services in addition to reimbursing the Administrator for all reasonable expenses.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in senior secured loans to U.S. companies in the upper middle market. We generally use the term "upper middle market" to refer to large companies with annual earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, or "EBITDA," greater than $75 million. However, we may from time to time invest in smaller companies. We focus on companies backed by private equity sponsors and our capital is typically used by companies to support business growth, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, refinancing or recapitalizations, and other related activity.
Investments
We focus primarily on senior secured first lien loans of private U.S. companies. Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of each investment) can and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the expected return on new investments, the amount of debt and equity capital available to private companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
Revenues
We primarily generate revenues in the form of interest income from the debt securities we hold. We may also generate revenue from dividends and capital appreciation on either direct equity investments or equity interests obtained in connection with originating loans, such as options, warrants or conversion rights. The debt we invest in will typically not be rated by any rating agency, but if it were, it is likely that such debt would be below investment grade. In addition, we may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, loan origination, structuring or diligence fees. Certain of these fees may be capitalized and amortized as additional interest income over the life of the related loan.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of the management fee and the incentive fee (each of which is described below) to our Investment Adviser, legal and professional fees, interest, fees and other expenses of financings and other operating and overhead related expenses. The management fee and incentive fees compensate our Investment Adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements.
Our critical accounting estimates should be read in conjunction with our risk factors described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and as described in Note 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Fair Value Measurements
We apply Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price 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. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same-to estimate the price when an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and their specific characteristics. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, generally will have a
higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value. The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.
The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows:
Level 1-inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets.
Level 2-inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. The type of financial instruments in this category includes less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.
Level 3-inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.
The Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") has designated the Investment Adviser as its "Valuation Designee" pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, and in that role, the Investment Adviser is responsible for performing fair value determinations relating to all of the Company's investments, including periodically assessing and managing any material valuation risks and establishing and applying fair value methodologies, in accordance with valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Even though the Company's Board of Directors designated the Company's Investment Adviser as "Valuation Designee," the Company's Board of Directors continues to be responsible for overseeing the processes for determining fair valuation.
The majority of our investments are expected to fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We do not expect that there will be readily available market values for most of the investments which will be in our portfolio, and we will value such investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee under the direction of the Board of Directors using a documented valuation policy, described below, and a consistently applied valuation process. The factors that may be taken into account in pricing the investments at fair value include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the Portfolio Company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, and the markets in which the Portfolio Company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. Available current market data are considered such as applicable market yields and multiples of publicly traded securities, comparison of financial ratios of peer companies, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal market, and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Valuation Designee will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate or revise its valuation.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which market quotations are deemed not reflective of the fair value, the valuation procedures adopted by our Board of Directors contemplate a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
We do not intend to issue units at a purchase price below the then-current NAV per unit, except as permitted by Section 23 under the Investment Company Act.
When our NAV is determined other than on a quarter-end (such as in connection with issuances of common units on dates occurring mid-quarter), it is determined by our Investment Adviser, acting under delegated authority from, and subject to the supervision of, our Board of Directors and in accordance with procedures adopted by our Board of Directors.
Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act was recently adopted by the SEC and establishes requirements for appointing a "valuation designee" and determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the Investment Company Act. Our valuation procedures comply with the new rule's requirements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net expenses were $6.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, all primarily attributable to interest and other financing expenses partially offset by the Fee Waivers from our Investment Adviser.
Interest and other financing expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, total interest expense (including unused fees and amortization of deferred financing and debt issuance costs) of $5.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively was driven by $349.3 million and $184.5 million respectively, of average debt outstanding.
Management fees
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, management fees were $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Management fees are incurred at annual rate of 1.25% of the average value of our net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter. The Investment Adviser agreed
to waive the management fees through May 31, 2026, which resulted in a waiver of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Incentive fees
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, total incentive fees were $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The Investment Adviser agreed to waive the incentive fee through May 31, 2026, which resulted in a waiver of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Net Realized Gain (Loss)
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had $0.1 million of realized gains (losses) on investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had $0.2 million of realized gains (losses) on investments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized gross unrealized appreciation on investments of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and gross unrealized depreciation on investments of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, resulting in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $(1.0) million and ($0.7) million, respectively, on investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity and capital resources are generated and generally available through our continuous offering of common units and debt offerings, our Senior Secured Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements), as well as from cash flows from operations, investment sales of liquid assets and receipt of investment principal and interest.
As of March 31, 2026, we had one Senior Secured Credit Facility outstanding with a maximum available amount of $400 million and a Revolving Credit Facility with an aggregate available amount of $27.2 million. We may enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing credit facilities or issue additional debt securities, including debt securitizations and unsecured debt. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. In accordance with the Investment Company Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness is at least 150%.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand, our available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations in the near term.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments, including money market funds, not held for resale with original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes the amount of principal and interest collections received as well as amounts in reserve as collateral held for the Senior Secured Credit Facility that are all held at SCI BDC SPV I LLC.
Debt
As of March 31, 2026, we had an aggregate principal amount of $359.1 million of debt outstanding under the credit facilities. The Senior Secured Credit Facility matures on December 7, 2029, unless there is an earlier termination or an acceleration following an event of default. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on the earlier of September 30, 2026, which may be extended for up to two additional one-year periods, subject to the consent of the administrative agent and extending lender, and the date of termination of the revolving commitments thereunder.
See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for information on the Company's debt.

The Company adopted a dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to which we will reinvest all cash dividends or other distributions authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Company on behalf of unitholders who affirmatively elect to reinvest their dividends or other distributions. As a result, if the Board of Directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend or other distribution, then unitholders who have elected to participate in our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional common units, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution.
To maintain our RIC status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. Although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investments.
Member's Capital
Under the terms of our limited liability agreement, the Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 common units.
Our common units will be issued by us on a continuous basis at a price per unit generally equal to our next calculated NAV per unit.
