Carlyle Credit Income Fund Announces Second Quarter Financial Results and Declares Monthly Common and
Preferred Dividends
New York – May 19, 2026 - Carlyle Credit Income Fund (“we,” “us,” “our,” “CCIF” or the “Fund”) (NYSE: CCIF) today
announced its financial results for its second quarter ending March 31, 2026. The full detailed presentation of the Fund’s second
quarter 2026 financial results can be viewed on the Fund’s website (https://www.carlylecreditincomefund.com/investor-
dashboard).
“In the second quarter, we remained focused on long-term value creation amid continued volatility across the CLO equity
market,” said Nishil Mehta, CCIF’s Principal Executive Officer and President. “While elevated repricing activity and weakness
in the loan market continued to pressure CLO equity cash flows and valuations during the quarter, underlying credit
fundamentals across the portfolio remained resilient. We maintained our monthly dividend of $0.06 per share, which we believe
remains well supported by core net investment income. During the quarter, we continued to reset CLOs within the underlying
portfolio, extending reinvestment periods and lowering financing costs. Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined
underwriting, active portfolio management, and investing alongside experienced CLO managers as we seek to capitalize on
opportunities created by market volatility.”
Over the past quarter, the Fund has successfully
•Declared a monthly dividend of $0.06 cents through August 2026, equating to a 21.49% annualized dividend based
on share price as of May 12, 2026.
