Second Quarter 2023 Results
Commenting on the quarter, Eric Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer of Barings BDC, stated, “We continued to deliver strong results for our shareholders through the second quarter, led by increased investment income combined with strong credit characteristics within our holdings. BBDC’s diversified portfolio of directly originated middle market loans, conservatively underwritten to withstand the effects of higher base rates, have contributed to a 1.5% increase in net asset value per share compared to the prior quarter.”
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported total investment income of $75.3 million, net investment income of $33.6 million, or $0.31 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $40.1 million, or $0.37 per share.
Net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of June 30, 2023 was $11.34, as compared to $11.17 as of March 31, 2023. The increase in NAV per share from March 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023 was primarily attributed to net unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investment portfolio, credit support agreements and foreign currency transactions of approximately $0.51 per share, net investment income exceeding the Company’s second quarter dividend by $0.06 per share and share repurchases of $0.05 per share, partially offset by a net realized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions of $0.45 per share.
Elizabeth Murray, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Barings BDC, stated, “During the second quarter, we were pleased to extend the maturity of our senior secured credit facility with ING to February 2026, which aligns with the continued strength of our balance sheet. Significant growth in net investment income, coupled with our stable funding profile, led our Board of Directors to declare a dividend increase of 4.0% to $0.26 per share for the third quarter, further benefiting our shareholders.”
Recent Portfolio Activity
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made four new investments totaling $11.7 million, made investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $41.6 million, made a $10.0 million add-on equity co-investment alongside certain affiliates in a portfolio company that specializes in providing financing to plaintiff law firms engaged in mass tort and other civil litigation and made additional investments in joint venture equity portfolio companies totaling $2.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had five loans repaid totaling $31.6 million and received $25.6 million of portfolio company principal payments, recognizing a loss on these repayments of $0.7 million. The Company received $7.1 million of return of capital from its joint ventures and equity investments. In addition, the Company sold $24.4 million of loans, recognizing a net realized loss on these transactions of $43.7 million and sold $46.5 million of middle-market portfolio debt investments to its joint ventures realizing a gain on these transactions of $0.1 million. Lastly, investments in two portfolio companies were restructured, which resulted in a loss of $2.0 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation totaling $55.1 million, consisting of net unrealized appreciation on its current portfolio of $5.4 million, unrealized appreciation of $2.4 million on the MVC credit support agreement with Barings and unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $48.3 million related to the net realized losses on the sales / repayments of certain investments, net of unrealized depreciation of $0.4 million on the Sierra credit support agreement with Barings and net unrealized depreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $0.6 million. The net unrealized appreciation on our current portfolio of $5.4 million was driven primarily by credit or fundamental performance of investments of $2.5 million and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on investments of $3.8 million partially offset by broad market moves for investments of $0.9 million.
Liquidity and Capitalization
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and foreign currencies of $80.3 million, $772.1 million of borrowings outstanding under its $1.1 billion senior secured revolving credit agreement, $725.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding and a net receivable from unsettled transactions of $27.6 million. On May 9, 2023 the Company closed an extension to its senior secured revolving credit facility, with the revolving period now scheduled to expire on February 21, 2025 and the maturity date now scheduled to occur on February 21, 2026.
Share Repurchase Program
On February 23, 2023, the Board authorized a new 12-month share repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may repurchase, during the 12-month period that commenced on March 1, 2023, 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, 2024, 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. As of August 9, 2023, the Company had repurchased a total of 1,400,000 shares of its common stock in the open market under the authorized program at an average price of $7.75 per share, including broker commissions.
Dividend Information
The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share.
The Company’s third quarter dividend is payable as follows:
Third Quarter 2023 Dividend:
Amount per share: $0.26
Record date: September 6, 2023
Payment date: September 13, 2023
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, 2023, the Company made approximately $35.7 million of new commitments, of which $23.6 million closed and funded. The $23.6 million of investments consists of $23.2 million of first lien senior secured debt investments and $0.4 million of equity investments. The weighted average yield of the debt investments was 11.6%. In addition, the Company funded $8.4 million of previously committed 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.
