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). FSK uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends and in comparing FSK’s financial results with other BDCs.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with FSK’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

1)	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.
2)	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; and (iii) 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 (referred to herein as one-time expenses). 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 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 can be found above.
3)	Excluding the impact of $717 million in unrealized appreciation resulting from merger accounting. See FSK’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information.
4)	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.
5)	See FSK’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a description of FSK’s investment strategies, including its definition of “direct originations.”
6)	Represents the expected annualized yield of FSK’s investment portfolio based on the composition of the portfolio as of the applicable date. FSK’s estimated gross portfolio yield may be higher than an investor’s yield on an investment in shares of FSK’s common stock because it does not reflect sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of such shares, or operating expenses that may be incurred by FSK. FSK’s estimated gross portfolio yield does not represent an actual investment return to stockholders, is subject to change and, in the future, may be greater or less than the rates set forth herein. The weighted average annual yield for accruing debt investments is computed as (i) the sum of (a) the stated annual interest rate of each debt and debt-like investment, multiplied by its par amount, adjusted to U.S. dollars and for any partial income accrual when necessary, as of the end of the applicable reporting period, plus (b) the annual amortization of the purchase or original issue discount or premium of each accreting debt investment; divided by (ii) the total amortized cost of debt investments included in the calculated group as of the end of the applicable reporting period. Asset based finance investments with an effective interest rate are being included in the calculation.
7)	Purchases do not include investments acquired in connection with the acquisition of CCT.
8)	Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. See FSK’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a description of FSK’s revenue recognition policy.
9)	Does not include investments on non-accrual status.
10)	Net debt to equity ratio is debt outstanding, net of cash and foreign currency divided by net assets.
11)	FSK’s one-time expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $1 million resulting from the acceleration of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the closing of the Hamilton Street Credit Facility.
