Business Wire

2 days ago

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. (NYSE: KBDC) ('KBDC or the Company'), a business development company externally managed by its investment adviser, KA Credit Advisors, LLC, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Net investment income of $28.7 million, or $0.40 per share;
Net asset value of $16.37 per share, decreased from $16.51 per share as of March 31, 2025, primarily the result of paying a special dividend in 2Q'25 of $0.10 per share and net unrealized losses on the portfolio of $0.06 which was partially offset by accretion of $0.01 on share repurchases;
New private credit and equity co-investment commitments of $128.7 million, fundings of $128.7 million and sales and repayments of $72.1 million, resulting in a net funded private credit and equity investment increase of $56.6 million;
Repayments of broadly syndicated loans of $46.5 million;
The Company's Board of Directors (the 'Board') declared a regular dividend of $0.40 per share, to be paid on October 16, 2025 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2025.
'During the second quarter when lending activity declined broadly, we were able to grow our private credit portfolio while maintaining an average spread on new investments of 540bps over SOFR,' said Ken Leonard, Co-Chief Executive Officer. 'Our results continue to highlight the strength of our platform's value lending focus, conservative positioning with a portfolio of 98% first lien loans and health of the portfolio with non-accruals flat quarter over quarter at 1.6% of fair value. Additionally, our net investment income of $0.40 per share covered our regular quarterly dividend for shareholders.'
'We are encouraged by the increase in KBDC's origination activity in the first half of the year and are confident, based on current market conditions, that we will continue to grow the portfolio over the remainder of the year to the benefit of our shareholders,' said Doug Goodwillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer. 'In addition, KBDC's significant strategic investment into SG Credit further complements our direct lending portfolio and origination platform while also being immediately accretive to our shareholders.'

Results of Operations
Total investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $57.3 million, as compared to $55.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by rotations out of the lower yielding broadly syndicated loans into middle market loans and the full quarter impact of net additions to the portfolio during the first quarter. PIK income represented 3.6% of total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025. PIK income was elevated from prior quarters because year to date interest income from one of the Company's investments was converted to PIK during the second quarter.
Net investment income for the quarter ending June 30, 2025 was $28.7 million or $0.40 per share, which was in line with the prior quarter ending March 31, 2025. Net expenses for the second quarter were $28.6 million, as compared to $26.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily related to higher average borrowings on our credit facilities and the partial expiration of the base management fee waiver.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company had a net change in unrealized losses on investments of $3.5 million. The unrealized losses for the quarter were primarily driven by negative fair value changes and quarterly amortization of original issue discounts, partially offset by new upfront fees for originations during the quarter. Additionally, the Company had $0.3 million of deferred income tax expense related to unrealized gains on equity investments in the Company's wholly owned taxable subsidiary.

Recent Developments
On July 15, 2025, the Company made an investment in SG Credit Partners, Inc. (along with affiliates and subsidiaries; 'SG Credit'), a national credit platform focused on the lower middle market.

On August 8, 2025, the Company amended its Corporate Credit Facility and increased the total commitment from $400 million to $475 million. There was no change to the interest rates or the maturity date.
