How the business works
Foreign-company dividends are one income source. Option and stock investment results are another, and exchange rates can change the dollar value of the portfolio. NAV and distribution sources give needed context to the monthly payment.
Extras are shown separately and are not assumed to repeat.

Reported earnings and sources
Reported earnings for the latest four periods. Compare the same earnings measure across periods; different measures are not added together.
Cash distributions are the total paid per share during each reporting period, including any gains or return of capital. Period lengths may differ, so compare the dates before comparing amounts. Short periods are not annualized.
NAV change excludes distributions. Reported NAV total return includes reinvestment and is copied from the fund statement, not estimated by adding cash distributions to the NAV change.
How to read BGY income
Fund income alone does not measure the full contribution from options. Cash distributions can also include gains or return of capital.
Follow distributions together with NAV and total return. A large payment is not proof that the strategy earned that amount.
Income and distributions
Income and cash distributions per share for the same dated periods. Shorter periods are kept separate and are not annualized. Fund income alone does not measure the full contribution from options. Cash distributions can also include gains or return of capital.

First-half 2026 net investment income was $0.07 per share, equal to 26.92% of distributions. That percentage is only the dividend-and-interest portion of BGY's option-income strategy; it leaves investment and option gains outside the measure.
Portfolio dividends and interest, realized investment results and any option activity contribute to distribution resources after expenses. A declared distribution can include gains or return of capital as well as investment income; its amount is not an earnings figure.
The earnings available to shareholders depend on the cash generated by these activities after operating and financing costs. Portfolio gains, financing proceeds and recurring income should be evaluated separately.
The portfolio information checked September 11, 2026 reports effective leverage of 0.36%.
Financing can increase earning assets, but its cost reduces income available to common shareholders. When borrowing costs rise or portfolio income falls, the distribution can become harder to sustain.
BlackRock Enhanced International Dividend Trust reported $0.0700 per share for 2026-01-01 through 2026-06-30, measured as Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized.
Actual per-share reporting period, without annualisation. Net investment income, realized gains, unrealized changes and cash distributions are different measures. This comparison is not the Fly High forward Dividend Coverage Ratio.
Losses or weaker cash generation in equities and option results can reduce the resources available for future distributions.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.
A maintained payment can exceed investment results. Review NAV and reported income together rather than treating distribution yield as total return.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.

The company calls this breakdown an estimate. The company explicitly calls these amounts estimates and says they are not for tax reporting. Actual tax character depends on each shareholder's Form 1099-DIV. Never mark these rows final. Your Form 1099-DIV may show a different final mix. See the company's estimate.
