RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations for the three months ended and years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Investment Income
For the three months and year ended September 30, 2024, investment income was $36.5 million and $143.8 million, respectively, which was attributable to $27.2 million and $104.8 million from first lien secured debt, $2.2 million and $9.8 million from second lien secured debt, $1.1 million and $3.0 million from subordinated debt and $6.0 million and $26.2 million from other investments, respectively. For the three months and year ended September 30, 2023, investment income was $34.0 million and $145.4 million, respectively, which was attributable to $24.5 million and $97.2 million from first lien secured debt, $2.9 million and $13.8 million from second lien secured debt, $1.3 million and $4.7 million from subordinated debt and $5.4 million and $29.7 million from preferred and common equity, respectively. The decrease in investment income for the year compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in dividend income.
Expenses
For the three months and year ended September 30, 2024, expenses totaled $22.0 million and $83.7 million, respectively, and were comprised of $12.3 million and $45.2 million of debt related interest and expenses, $4.3 million and $16.7 million of base management fees, $3.1 million and $12.7 million of incentive fees, $1.8 million and $6.6 million of general and administrative expenses and $0.7 million and $2.6 million of provision for excise taxes. For the three months and year ended September 30, 2023, expenses totaled $18.4 million and $79.8 million, respectively, and were comprised of $9.0 million and $39.4 million of debt related interest and expenses, $3.9 million and $16.5 million of base management fees, $3.3 million and $13.9 million of incentive fees, $1.6 million and $5.7 million of general and administrative expenses and $0.7 million and $4.3 million of provision for excise taxes. The increase in expenses over the prior year was primarily due to an increase in debt related interest and expenses.
Net Investment Income
For the three months and year ended September 30, 2024, net investment income totaled $14.4 million and $60.1 million, or $0.22 per share and $0.92 per share, respectively. For the three months and year ended September 30, 2023, net investment income totaled $15.6 million and $65.5 million, or $0.24 per share and $1.00 per share, respectively. The decrease in net investment income per share compared to the prior year was primarily due to an increase in debt-related interest expenses and decrease in dividend income.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
For the three months and year ended September 30, 2024, net realized gains (losses) totaled $2.5 million and $(33.6) million, respectively. For the three months and year ended September 30, 2023, net realized gains (losses) totaled $(5.2) million and $(156.8) million, respectively. The change in realized gains/losses was primarily due to changes in market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized and the fluctuations in the market and in the economy.
Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments and Debt
For the three months ended and year ended September 30, 2024, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments was $4.3 million and $26.8 million, respectively. For the three months ended and year ended September 30, 2023, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments was $2.5 million and $61.2 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, our net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $11.2 million and $(16.3) million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on our investments for the year ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized and the fluctuation in the market and in the economy.
For the three months and year ended September 30, 2024, our Credit Facility had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $(2.8) million and $(4.4) million, respectively. For the three months and year ended September 30, 2023, our Credit Facility had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $(1.3) million and $(3.8) million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Credit Facility totaled $1.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized depreciation for the year ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.
Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three months and year ended September 30, 2024, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $18.4 million and $48.9 million, or $0.28 per share and $0.75 per share, respectively. For the three months and year ended September 30, 2023, net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $12.3 million and $(33.8) million, or $0.19 per share and $(0.52) per share, respectively. The increase in net assets from operations for the year ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year was primarily due to larger depreciation of the portfolio in the prior year primarily driven by changes in market conditions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of interest expense, fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives.
As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had $461.5 million and $212.4 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the Truist Credit Facility. The Truist Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 7.2% and 7.7%, respectively, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had $13.5 million and $262.6 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Truist Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.
As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $49.9 million and $38.8 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to allow us to effectively operate our business.
For the year ended September 30, 2024, our operating activities used cash of $(172.4) million and our financing activities provided cash of $183.4 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from borrowings under our Truist Credit Facility.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, our operating activities provided cash of $222.9 million and our financing activities used cash of $239.2 million for the same period. Our operating activities provided cash primarily from our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily from the proceeds of our 2026-2 Notes and net repayments under our Truist Credit Facility.
DISTRIBUTIONS
During the three months and year ended September 30, 2024, we declared distributions of $0.24 and $0.88 per share, for total distributions of $15.7 million and $57.4 million, respectively. During the three months and year ended September 30, 2023, we declared distributions of $0.21 and $0.76 per share, for total distributions of $13.7 million and $49.6 million, respectively. We monitor available net income to determine if a return of capital for tax purposes may occur for the fiscal year.

Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders subject to information reporting on Form 1099-DIV after the end of each calendar year and in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
