FS KKR Capital Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results; Declares Third Quarter 2026 Distribution of $0.44 per share PHILADELPHIA and NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK), or the Company, today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and that its board of directors has declared a third quarter 2026 distribution of $0.44 per share for common stockholders.

Financial and Operating Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 (1)

"During the second quarter, FSK generated Net Investment Income of $0.44 per share, reduced net leverage to within our target range, and made progress reducing our non-accrual assets," said Michael C. Forman, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. "We remain focused on improving portfolio performance and delivering long-term value for shareholders."

"The strategic actions we announced in May are progressing as planned and reflect the FS/KKR Advisor's continued conviction in the long-term value of FSK," said Daniel R. Pietrzak, President and Chief Investment Officer of FSK and Partner and Global Head of Private Credit at KKR. "During the second quarter, the $150 million tender offer for shares of FSK's common stock conducted by a subsidiary of KKR was successfully completed, the $150 million issuance of convertible preferred stock by FSK to a subsidiary of KKR closed, FSK's $300 million share repurchase program commenced, and the 50% subordinated income incentive fee waiver helped to support our Net Investment Income and third quarter distribution. We believe these actions, together with our ongoing portfolio rotation efforts and focus on enhancing portfolio quality, strengthen FSK's financial profile."

Subsequent Events

During the period from July 1, 2026 through August 5, 2026, the Company repurchased 3,348,353 shares of common stock pursuant to the board-authorized share repurchase program at an average price per share (inclusive of commissions paid) of $10.75 (totaling $36 million). All such repurchases were made on the Company's behalf by a third-party agent on the open market at prices below net asset value per share in transactions intended to qualify for the safe harbors provided by Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The shares repurchased during the period from July 1, 2026 through August 5, 2026 are in addition to 377,800 shares of common stock (totaling $4 million at an average price per share, inclusive of commissions paid, of $10.57) repurchased from the commencement of the repurchase plan on June 29, 2026, through the end of the second quarter. The weighted average purchase price of all shares repurchased from June 29, 2026 to August 5, 2026 (inclusive of commissions paid) was $10.73.

On August 5, 2026, FSK's board of directors declared a distribution for the third quarter of $0.44 per share of common stock, which will be paid on or about October 2, 2026 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2026.

Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "project," and "future" or similar expressions indicate a forward-looking statement, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause our actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including those factors set forth in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially include, without limitation, changes in the economy, geo-political risks, risks associated with possible disruption in FSK's operations or the economy generally due to terrorism, natural disasters or pandemics, future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in FSK's operating area and the price at which shares of FSK's common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Some of these factors are enumerated in the filings FSK makes with the SEC. In addition, the FSK board-authorized share repurchase program does not require FSK to repurchase any specific number of shares of FSK's common stock. There is no assurance that FSK or any of its affiliates will purchase shares of its common stock at any specific discount levels or in any specific amounts or that the market price of FSK's common stock, either absolutely or relative to net asset value, will increase as a result of any share repurchases, or that any repurchase plan will enhance stockholder value over the long term. The forward-looking statements included in this communication and on our quarterly earnings call are based on information available as of the date hereof and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Except as required by the federal securities laws, FSK undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The press release above contains summaries of certain financial and statistical information about FSK. The information contained in this press release is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of FSK's SEC filings and other public announcements that FSK may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. FSK undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise the information contained in this press release. In addition, information related to past performance, while helpful as an evaluative tool, is not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured.

Other Information

The information in this press release is summary information only and should be read in conjunction with FSK's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which FSK filed with the SEC on August 6, 2026, as well as FSK's other reports filed with the SEC.

Certain Information About Distributions

The determination of the tax attributes of FSK's distributions is made annually as of the end of its fiscal year based upon its taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. FSK intends to update stockholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to stockholders will be reported to stockholders annually on Form 1099-DIV.

The timing and amount of any future distributions on FSK's shares of common stock are subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of its board of directors. There can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.

FSK may fund its distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds legally available to it, including net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies, proceeds from the sale of shares of FSK's common stock and borrowings. FSK has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. In addition, portions of our distributions may be funded indirectly through the waiver of certain investment advisory fees by our investment adviser. Any distributions funded through waivers of investment advisory fees will not be based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or our investment adviser and its affiliates continue to make such reimbursements or waivers of such fees. There can be no assurance that FSK will be able to pay distributions at a specific rate or at all.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These measures should only be used to evaluate FSK's results of operations in conjunction with their corresponding GAAP measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, FSK has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures in the table below.

Per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares of FSK's common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Per share numbers may not sum due to rounding.

Adjusted net investment income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net investment income is presented for all periods as GAAP net investment income excluding (i) the accrual for the capital gains incentive fee for realized and unrealized gains; (ii) excise taxes (net of incentive fee impact) (iii) the impact of accretion resulting from merger accounting; and (iv) certain non-recurring operating expenses that are one-time in nature and are not representative of ongoing operating expenses incurred during FSK's normal course of business. FSK uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other business development companies. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted net realized and unrealized gain (loss) is presented for all periods as GAAP realized and unrealized gains to exclude the impact of the merger accounting. FSK uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other business development companies. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial measure information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP net investment income to adjusted net investment income and GAAP net realized and unrealized gain (loss) to adjusted net realized and unrealized gain can be found above.

Net debt and the net debt-to-equity ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Net debt to equity ratio is debt outstanding including convertible preferred stock outstanding, net of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and foreign currency and net payable/receivable for investments purchased/sold and repaid, divided by net assets. FSK uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to monitor and evaluate its leverage and financial condition and believes the presentation of these measures enhances investors' ability to analyze trends in FSK's business and to evaluate FSK's leverage and ability to take on additional debt. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial measure information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP debt outstanding to net debt outstanding and GAAP debt-to-equity ratio to the net debt-to-equity ratio can be found above.

The per share data for distributions reflects the amount of distributions paid per share of our common stock to stockholders of record during each applicable period.

See FSK's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 for important information, including information related to the calculation and definition of weighted average annual yield on accruing debt investments, weighted average annual yield on all debt investments, variable rate debt investments, fixed rate debt investments, other income producing investments and non-income producing investments.

Does not include investments on non-accrual status.

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. See FSK's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 for a description of FSK's revenue recognition policy.

Restricted cash is the cash collateral required to be posted pursuant to the Company's derivative contracts.

Total AUM estimated as of March 31, 2026. References to "assets under management" or "AUM" represent the assets managed by Future Standard or its strategic partners as to which Future Standard is entitled to receive a fee or carried interest (either currently or upon deployment of capital) and general partner capital. Future Standard calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of Future Standard's investment funds; (ii) uncalled investor capital commitments to these funds, including uncalled investor capital commitments from which Future Standard is currently not earning management fees or carried interest; (iii) the value of outstanding CLOs; (iv) the fair value of FS KKR Capital Corp. joint venture (JV) assets and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by Future Standard. Future Standard's calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers and, as a result, Future Standard's measurements of its AUM may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Future Standard's definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages and is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.
