6 Quarterly Operating Highlights Note: Numbers may not foot due to rounding. (1) Total investment income includes investment income (e.g., interest and dividends) from investments in STRS JV. (2) Net of fee waivers, if any. (3) Core net investment income is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that core net investment income provides useful information to investors and management because it reflects the Company's financial performance excluding (i) the net impact of costs associated with the refinancing of the Company's indebtedness, (ii) the accrual of the capital gains incentive fee attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses, and (iii) certain excise or other income taxes (net of incentive fees).
