Third Quarter 2024 Results
Commenting on the quarter, Eric Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer of Barings BDC, stated, “We continue to deliver attractive returns by executing our disciplined investment strategy focused on Barings-originated, senior secured loans to competitively advantaged middle market companies that we have rigorously analyzed and conservatively underwritten. In the third quarter, we maintained our strong momentum with net investment income well above the dividend, strong credit metrics, and NAV that is above where it was at the end of last year, reflecting portfolio resiliency and increased deployment compared to last quarter. We believe that we remain well positioned for what we expect to be a more active environment, particularly given our strong sponsor relationships and ample liquidity.”
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported total investment income of $70.9 million, net investment income of $30.2 million, or $0.29 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $22.0 million, or $0.21 per share.
Net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of September 30, 2024 was $11.32, as compared to $11.36 as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in NAV per share from June 30, 2024 to September 30, 2024 was primarily attributed to a net realized loss on investments, foreign currency transactions and forward currency contracts of $0.10 per share, partially offset by net investment income exceeding the Company’s third quarter dividend by $0.03 per share, net unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investment portfolio, credit support agreements, foreign currency transactions and forward currency contracts of approximately $0.02 per share and the accretive impact of share repurchases of $0.01 per share.
Recent Portfolio Activity
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company made 11 new investments totaling $88.4 million and made investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $36.6 million. The Company had 11 loans repaid totaling $94.3 million and received $17.6 million of portfolio company principal payments, recognizing a net realized loss on these repayments of $13.2 million. The Company received $2.9 million of return of capital from joint ventures, equity and royalty rights investments. Lastly, the Company received proceeds related to the sale of equity investments totaling $5.9 million and recognized a net realized gain on such sales totaling $4.3 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation totaling $2.7 million, consisting of net unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $11.1 million related to the net realized losses / gains on the sales / exits and restructures of certain investments, net unrealized appreciation on our current portfolio of $8.9 million, and unrealized appreciation of $1.1 million on the MVC credit support agreement with Barings, partially offset by net unrealized depreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $9.8 million, net unrealized depreciation related to forward currency contracts of $8.2 million and net unrealized depreciation of $0.4 million on the Sierra credit support agreement with Barings. The net unrealized appreciation on our current portfolio of $8.9 million was driven primarily by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on investments of $21.6 million, partially offset by the credit or fundamental performance of investments of $11.1 million and broad market moves for investments of $1.6 million.
Liquidity and Capitalization
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and foreign currencies of $66.0 million (including restricted cash of $3.2 million), $347.8 million of borrowings outstanding under its $1,065.0 million senior secured credit agreement (the “February 2019 Credit Facility”), $1,025.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding and a net receivable from unsettled transactions of $11.8 million.
On November 5, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit agreement, which amended the February 2019 Credit Facility to, among other things, (a) extend the revolving period from February 21, 2025 to November 5, 2028; (b) extend the stated maturity date from February 21, 2026 to November 5, 2029; (c) adjust the interest rate charged on the February 2019 Credit Facility from an applicable spread of either the term SOFR plus 2.25% (or 2.00% for so long as the Company maintains an investment grade credit rating) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for borrowings with an interest period of one month, 0.15% for borrowings with an interest period of three months, or 0.25% for borrowings with an interest period of six months to an applicable spread of 1.875% plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and (d) reduce the total commitments under the facility from $1,065 million to $825 million, of which $100 million has been reallocated from revolving commitments to term loan commitments.
Commenting on the Company’s liquidity position, Elizabeth Murray, Chief Financial Officer of Barings BDC, stated, “Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we continue to strengthen our liability structure by amending our revolving credit facility at attractive terms. With over $540.0 million of available capital, and net leverage levels below 1.10x at quarter-end, we believe we are well positioned to continue to support the growth of our existing portfolio companies and new origination activity.”
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 September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 199,054 shares of its common stock in the open market under the authorized program at an average price of $9.84 per share, including brokerage commissions. As of November 6, 2024, the Company had repurchased a total of 508,132 shares of its common stock in the open market under the authorized program at an average price of $9.79 per share, including brokerage commissions.
Dividend Information
The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share.
The Company’s fourth quarter dividend is payable as follows:
Fourth Quarter 2024 Dividend:
Amount per share: $0.26
Record date: December 4, 2024
Payment date: December 11, 2024
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 September 30, 2024, the Company made approximately $117.1 million of new commitments, of which $95.8 million closed and funded. The $95.8 million of investments consists of $91.2 million of first lien senior secured debt investments, $0.6 million of second lien senior secured debt investments, $0.5 million of equity investments and a $3.5 million preferred equity co-investment alongside certain affiliates in a portfolio company focused on directly originated, litigation finance loans to mass tort law firms. The weighted average yield of the debt investments was 9.6%. In addition, we funded $12.9 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.
