Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

 

NEW YORK, November 13, 2025 --- Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. (“LIEN” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LIEN), a specialty finance company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

 

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights and Subsequent Activity

 

Total gross investment income of $15.1 million. Interest income accounted for $13.8 million, of which $1.9 million was related to one-time pre-payment premiums from early payoffs

 

Net investment income of $9.5 million, or $0.42 per weighted average share outstanding

 

Total investment portfolio of $311.4 million at fair value

 

Net asset value (“NAV”) per share was $13.27 on September 30, 2025

 

Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.34 per share for the quarter ending December 31, 2025 payable on January 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2025

 

Funded eleven portfolio companies with $66.3 million in aggregate par value during the third quarter of 2025

 

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company funded a $5.0 million investment to a new borrower

 

As of September 30, 2025, there were 22,820,590 common shares issued and outstanding on a basic and fully diluted basis

 

Peter Sack, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are a highly differentiated BDC with a portfolio, strategy, platform, and credit quality that continue to stand out from the rest of the industry. At a time when borrower credit concerns, portfolio interest rate sensitivity, and dividend coverage issues are common concerns across the industry, Chicago Atlantic BDC has relied upon our platform’s originations and underwriting acumen to build a strong portfolio with no loans on non-accrual, low exposure to third party originators, and limited downside exposure to interest rate declines. With $66.7 million of gross originations during the quarter, another record for the Company, and another $5.0 million subsequent to quarter end, we were able to utilize a portion of our new credit facility while improving the diversification of the portfolio. By remaining under-levered through a patient approach compared with the rest of the industry, we have also reserved available liquidity to deploy over the balance of the year and into 2026 to take advantage of new opportunities.”

 

Portfolio and Investment Activity

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s investment portfolio had an aggregate fair value of approximately $311.4 million across 37 portfolio companies.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company funded eleven portfolio companies with an aggregate par value of $66.3 million, seven of which were in new borrowers. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company funded one investment to a new borrower with an aggregate par value of $5.0 million.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company had principal amortization and repayments of $62.7 million, of which $0.5 million was receivable as of September 30, 2025.

 

As of September 30, 2025, there were no loans on non-accrual status.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, total investment income was approximately $15.1 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred net expenses of approximately $5.6 million, resulting in net investment income of approximately $9.5 million, or $0.42 per weighted average share, and a net increase in net assets from operations of approximately $8.8 million, or $0.39 per weighted average share.

As of November 12, 2025, the Company has $7.5 million outstanding on its senior credit facility and approximately $97.8 million of liquidity.

 

Net Asset Value

 

As of September 30, 2025, NAV per share was $13.27 compared with $13.23 as of June 30, 2025. The increase in NAV per share was primarily driven by growth in net assets. Total net assets as of September 30, 2025, were $302.9 million compared to $301.8 million as of June 30, 2025.

CONFIDENTIAL | Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. 21 Pro Forma Portfolio Investment Portfolio Highlights: Footnote Legend Based on data as of 9/30/25, unless otherwise noted. Weighted average amounts are weighted by the fair market value of each r esp ective investment. 1. Weighted Average Portfolio Yield on Debt Investments (“Portfolio Yield”) is the weighted average of the annualized yield f or each debt investment in the portfolio weighted by the fair value of each debt investment as of 9/30/25. The yield for each debt investment is calculated by dividing (a) the sum of ( i ) the stated annual cash interest rate of the debt investment as of 9/30/25, (ii) the stated annual payment - in - kind interest rat e, if any, of the debt investment as of 9/30/25, (iii) any additional recurring fees, (iv) the difference between the par value and the fair value of the debt investment, expressed as a percentage of the par value of th e debt investment, and annualized based on the remaining term of the debt investment as of 9/30/25, and (v) the exit fee of the debt investment, if any, expres sed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment and annualized based on the remaining term of the debt investment as of 9/30/25, by (b) the fair value of the debt investment, expressed as a percentage of the par valu e o f the debt investment. The Portfolio Yield calculation does not reflect any prepayment penalties or early payoffs with respect to the debt investments. The Portfolio Yield is gross of expenses and excludes cash and equity holdings. Th e Portfolio Yield would be lower if the calculation reflected expenses and cash holdings. The Portfolio Yield does not represent actual investment returns to the Company’s stockholders and the Company may not actually r eal ize the foregoing yield of any specific debt investment, including if the remaining term of the debt investment is less than a year. 2. Represents the percentage of total annual interest expected to be received in kind instead of in cash. 3. Amounts were derived from the portfolio company financial statements used in connection with determining the investment va lua tions as of 9/30/25, have not been independently verified by the Company, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Company makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information. 4. Excluded from the data is information in respect of portfolio companies with negative or de minimis EBITDA, or where EBITD A m ay not be the appropriate measure of credit risk.
