Lawrence E. Golub, CEO of Golub Capital, said:
This quarter’s Golub Capital Altman Index showed the highest year-over-year revenue growth rate since its inception, marking a fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue growth. EBITDA growth was also exceptionally strong, suggesting U.S. middle market companies have done well in controlling costs amidst a tight labor market. Our data continues to show strong momentum in the U.S. economy that could help offset the negative impact of tariffs. We expect to see another robust GDP growth rate for the third quarter of 2018, likely in excess of 3% or even 4%.
