How the business works
Portfolio dividends and bond interest become net investment income after fund and financing costs. Changes in utility share prices and bond values also affect NAV and the broader resources behind a managed distribution.
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 DNP income
Portfolio dividends and interest provide income after expenses. Investment gains may also contribute to distributions.
Watch company dividend changes, interest rates and borrowing costs. Read cash payments together with NAV to judge the effect on capital.
Income and distributions
Income and cash distributions per share for the same dated periods. Shorter periods are kept separate and are not annualized. Portfolio dividends and interest provide income after expenses. Investment gains may also contribute to distributions.
Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized$0.1100
$0.00$0.20
For the six months ended April 30, 2026, DNP reported $0.11 of net investment income per common share and $0.39 of distributions. NAV moved from $9.31 to $10.36. The income line explains only part of the cash paid, while the stronger NAV makes the wider investment result worth reading alongside payment sources.
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 23.40%.
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.
DNP Select Income Fund Inc. reported $0.1100 per share for 2025-11-01 through 2026-04-30, 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 utilities and infrastructure securities 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.
