Expected Drivers of Future Revenue Growth for Runway Growth Finance (RWAY)

Over the next 2-3 years, Runway Growth Finance (RWAY) is expected to experience revenue growth driven by several key factors:

1. Expansion of its Loan Portfolio and Originations: As a provider of senior-secured loans to late- and growth-stage venture companies, an increase in the volume and size of its loan originations is a primary revenue driver for Runway Growth Finance. The company's investment commitments to both new and existing portfolio companies are projected to continue growing, supported by a strong balance sheet. Furthermore, unfunded commitments indicate potential for future capital deployment.
2. Strategic Acquisition of SWK Holdings: A significant driver of future growth is the definitive merger agreement to acquire SWK Holdings, a specialty finance company focused on the healthcare and life sciences sectors. This acquisition, expected to close in early 2026, is anticipated to be strategically and financially beneficial, enhancing Runway's portfolio diversification and expanding its investment capabilities, particularly within the healthcare and technology sectors.
3. Favorable Interest Rate Environment and Predominance of Floating-Rate Assets: Runway Growth Finance benefits from a high percentage (97%) of floating-rate assets in its loan portfolio. This structure allows the company to capitalize on rising interest rates, directly increasing its interest income. The company's debt portfolio generated a dollar-weighted average annualized yield of 16.8% in Q3 2025, an increase from the previous quarter.
4. Sustained Demand for Venture Debt Financing: Runway Growth Finance specializes in offering flexible capital solutions, including senior secured loans and hybrid debt-and-equity financing, to late- and growth-stage companies, predominantly in technology, healthcare, and business services. There is an ongoing and rising demand for customized financing options that provide an alternative to traditional equity, allowing companies to fund growth with minimal dilution. This consistent demand helps to fuel Runway's lending pipeline.
