Second Quarter 2024 Results

Commenting on the quarter, Eric Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer of Barings BDC, stated, “We continued to deliver strong, stable results for our shareholders this quarter, demonstrated by net investment income that was meaningfully higher than our dividend and industry leading non-accrual rates. We made further meaningful progress this quarter reducing our non-core positions, providing us with capital to recycle into attractively structured and priced, first lien, middle market loans in what we believe will be an accelerating deal environment in the second half of the year.”

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported total investment income of $74.9 million, net investment income of $42.1 million, or $0.40 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $19.4 million, or $0.18 per share.

Net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of June 30, 2024 was $11.36, as compared to $11.44 as of March 31, 2024. The decrease in NAV per share from March 31, 2024 to June 30, 2024 was primarily attributed to net unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investment portfolio, credit support agreements, foreign currency transactions and forward currency contracts of approximately $0.29 per share, partially offset by net investment income exceeding the Company’s second quarter dividend by $0.14 per share and a net realized gain on investments, foreign currency transactions and forward currency contracts of $0.07 per share.

Recent Portfolio Activity

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made nine new investments totaling $38.5 million and made investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $40.0 million. The Company had 15 loans repaid totaling $116.2 million, received $21.8 million of portfolio company principal payments and received $3.8 million of return of capital from joint ventures and equity investments. The Company received $28.2 million for the sale of loans, recognizing a net realized gain on these transactions of $0.5 million. Lastly, the Company received proceeds related to the sale of equity investments totaling $24.9 million and recognized a net realized gain on such sales totaling $3.0 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded net unrealized depreciation totaling $30.8 million, consisting of net unrealized depreciation on its current portfolio of $30.1 million, unrealized depreciation of $2.8 million on the Sierra credit support agreement with Barings and net unrealized depreciation related to forward currency contracts of $4.5 million, partially offset by net unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $3.6 million related to the net realized losses on the sales / repayments and restructures of certain investments, unrealized appreciation of $1.9 million on the MVC credit support agreement with Barings and net unrealized appreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $1.0 million. The net unrealized depreciation on the Company’s current portfolio of $30.1 million was driven primarily by the credit or fundamental performance of investments of $21.6 million, broad market moves for investments of $7.7 million and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on investments of $0.8 million.

Liquidity and Capitalization

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and foreign currencies of $84.4 million (including restricted cash of $15.0 million), $350.8 million of borrowings outstanding under its $1,065.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement, $1,025.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding and a net receivable from unsettled transactions of $20.6 million.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 22, 2024, the Board authorized a new 12-month share repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may repurchase, during the 12-month period commencing on March 1, 2024, up to $30.0 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current NAV per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, the Company’s stock price, applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements and other factors. The program is expected to be in effect until March 1, 2025, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Board has been expended. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 193,167 shares of its common stock in the open market under the authorized program at an average price of $9.88 per share, including brokerage commissions. As of August 7, 2024, the Company had repurchased a total of 309,078 shares of its common stock in the open market under the authorized program at an average price of $9.76 per share, including brokerage commissions.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Barings BDC has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends and distributions on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when the Company declares a cash dividend or distribution, stockholders who have not opted out of the DRIP will have their cash dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash.

When the Company declares and pays dividends and distributions, it determines the allocation of the distribution between current income, accumulated income, capital gains and return of capital on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). At each year end, the Company is required for tax purposes to determine the allocation based on tax accounting principles. Due to differences between GAAP and tax accounting principles, the portion of each dividend distribution that is ordinary income, capital gain or return of capital may differ for GAAP and tax purposes. The tax status of the Company’s distributions can be found on the Investor Relations page of its website.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company made approximately $55.9 million of new commitments, of which $45.6 million closed and funded. The $45.6 million of investments consists of $45.3 million of first lien senior secured debt investments and $0.3 million of equity investments. The weighted average yield of the debt investments was 10.7%. In addition, the Company funded $8.5 million of previously committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide additional information about the Company’s results, the Company’s management has discussed in this press release the Company’s net debt (calculated as (i) total debt less (ii) unrestricted cash and foreign currencies (excluding restricted cash) net of net payables/receivables from unsettled transactions) and its net debt-to-equity ratio (calculated as net debt divided by total net assets), which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are included to supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because the Company uses such measures to monitor and evaluate its leverage and financial condition and believes the presentation of these measures enhances investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business and to evaluate the Company’s leverage and ability to take on additional debt. However, these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial results as reported under GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with their corresponding GAAP measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures in the last table included in this press release.
