Release Date: August 07, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Total partner revenue of $50.6 million came in 5.6% ahead of guidance, with total revenue and operating income up 25% year-over-year. Net distributable cash flow increased 42% in Q2 and 21% year-to-date, with the payout ratio improving to 58% from 65%. Net book value per unit reached a record $25.83, driven by $10.8 million in unrealized fair value gains, including strong performance from Fleet and Quebec. The portfolio expanded to a record 25 partners with $126 million deployed in 2026, including investments in Cubic and Tesco, and the run-rate revenue estimate increased to $208 million. The weighted average earnings coverage ratio remains strong at 1.5x, with 84% of preferred distributions from partners with coverage above 1.2x, and 16 of 25 partners have senior debt at or below 1x EBITDA. Negative Points Common distributions were below the prior year in Q2, though this was attributed to timing, as Q2 is typically the lightest quarter for such distributions. GWM is expected to have 'off and on' payments through the rest of the year due to tight bank covenants, with potential for continued deferrals. Some portfolio companies, particularly in the Boston region, are experiencing softer demand due to political factors affecting construction-related activities. The fair value of McCoy decreased due to a quieter storm season in the first half of the year. The payout ratio is sensitive to foreign exchange rates, and the company remains conservative on dividend hikes, preferring to wait for significant deployment events. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 11 Warning Signs with ADLRF. Is ADLRF fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Q: What gives you comfort underwriting Tesco at a 1.0 to 1.2 earnings coverage ratio (ECR), and what are your expectations for coverage to improve? A: Steve King, President and CEO, explained that for Tesco and similar fast-growing companies, the ECR is based on historical data and includes capital expenditures. A significant portion of that CapEx is discretionary and used to fund growth at the board's discretion. Therefore, while the ECR appears tight, it can be more comfortable than it looks because the company can adjust spending to cover distributions. Q: With $126 million deployed so far this year and a robust second-half pipeline, at what point do you need redemption proceeds or other capital to sustain your historical annual pace? A: Steve King noted that with $127 million of undrawn capacity on the credit facility, any deployment beyond that would require redemption proceeds, equity, or expanding debt. He emphasized that in 22 years, they have never said no to a deal due to an inability to raise money, and he is more confident about their capital access now than ever before. Story Continues Q: Tesco had dozens of bidders; what made your bid successful and what do you bring to the table? A: Steve King explained that entrepreneurs who choose Alaris typically do not want to sell their business and believe in their future growth. By modeling a side-by-side comparison of selling today versus partnering with Alaris, they show a massive win for the entrepreneur because the preferred equity is capped in annual growth and on exit. This structure appeals to owners who believe in their business, which is a recurring theme over 22 years. Q: You saw a handful of ECRs take down in the quarter, including DNT and Ohana; when do you expect them to revert higher? A: Steve King stated that both companies are doing well. DNT continues to excel after a record year, and Ohana's short-term membership impact from the \"click to cancel\" situation is not an issue. Neither company is anywhere close to any form of jeopardy.
