Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. Announces March 31, 2025 Financial Results and Declares Second Quarter 2025 Dividend of $0.40 Per Share

 

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 first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

 

“We are pleased to report one of our strongest first quarters of investment activity since KBDC’s inception,” said Doug Goodwillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “Our strategy of building a diversified portfolio of stable, well-established businesses structured with conservative average leverage multiples, continues to perform well in all economic environments.”

 

“We believe that the core middle market continues to present the most attractive, relative return opportunity in private credit.” said Ken Leonard, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “Based on our pipeline, we remain on target to reach the lower end of our debt-to-equity target range of 1.0x – 1.25x over the next two quarters. We aim to achieve this while preserving our highly selective, value-oriented investment approach.”

 

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025

 

Net investment income of $28.7 million, or $0.40 per share;

 

Net asset value of $16.51 per share, decreased from $16.70 per share as of December 31, 2024, primarily the result of paying a special dividend in 1Q’25 of $0.10 per share and unrealized losses on the portfolio of $0.10;

 

New private credit and equity co-investment commitments of $340.2 million, fundings of $294.3 million and sales and repayments of $86.6 million, resulting in a net funded private credit and equity investment increase of $207.7 million;

 

Net repayments of broadly syndicated loans of $26.9 million;

 

Amended its Revolving Funding Facility to extend the maturity, increase commitment amount from $600 million to $675 million and reduce interest rate on borrowings from daily SOFR plus 2.375%-2.50% to daily SOFR plus 2.15%;

 

Amended its Revolving Funding Facility II to extend the maturity, increase commitment amount from $150 million to $250 million, and reduce interest rate on borrowings from 3-month SOFR plus 2.70% to 3-month SOFR plus 2.25%;

 

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a regular dividend of $0.40 per share, to be paid on July 16, 2025 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2025; and

 

The Board authorized an amendment to the Company’s share repurchase plan to extend the expiration date to May 24, 2026. Under the amended and restated plan (effective May 25, 2025), the Company may repurchase up to $100 million of outstanding common stock in the open market at a price per share that meets certain thresholds below its net asset value.

Results of Operations

 

Total investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $55.2 million, as compared to $56.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease to reference rates (SOFR) and the $0.6 million impact of placing Siegel Egg on non-accrual status during the quarter. These reductions were partially offset by income generated from net additions to the portfolio during the first quarter. PIK income represented 0.6% of total interest income for the first quarter.

 

Net investment income for the quarter ending March 31, 2025 was $28.7 million or $0.40 per share, compared to $34.0 million or $0.48 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net expenses for the first quarter were $26.5 million compared to $22.3 million for the prior quarter. The increase was primarily the result of the expiration of the incentive fee waiver during the quarter.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company had a realized gain of $0.6 million on the sale of an equity co-investment and the net change in unrealized losses on investments was $6.5 million. The unrealized losses for the quarter were primarily driven by negative fair value changes related to two watchlist investments and the broadly syndicated loan portfolio and quarterly amortization of original issue discounts, partially offset by new upfront fees for originations during the quarter. Additionally, the Company had $0.6 million of deferred income tax expense related to unrealized gains on equity investments in the Company’s wholly owned taxable subsidiary.
