Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

Commenting on the quarter, Eric Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer of Barings BDC, stated, "We are pleased to have a strong end to 2024, which saw us deliver record full year net investment income, with a final quarter of robust results. Specifically, in the fourth quarter we out-earned the dividend on a pre-tax basis by more than 15%, further reduced our non-accrual rate to 0.3% of fair value, which further strengthens our position among industry leaders, and deployed $297.9 million towards attractive investments across a range of industries. We believe this consistently positive performance through the year demonstrates the merits of our focused, rigorous and disciplined approach to investing primarily in directly originated, senior-secured loans to middle-market borrowers. Based on these strong results, our confidence in our portfolio, and the momentum we have seen so far in 2025, we are announcing a first quarter dividend of $0.26 per share, and a special dividend totaling $0.15 per share which will be paid in three equal quarterly installments starting in March."

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported total investment income of $70.6 million, net investment income of $29.5 million, or $0.28 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $24.8 million, or $0.24 per share.

Net asset value ("NAV") per share as of December 31, 2024 was $11.29, as compared to $11.32 as of September 30, 2024. The decrease in NAV per share from September 30, 2024 to December 31, 2024 was primarily attributed to a net realized loss on investments, foreign currency transactions and forward currency contracts of $0.13 per share, partially offset by net unrealized appreciation on the Company's investment portfolio, credit support agreements, foreign currency transactions and forward currency contracts of approximately $0.08 per share and net investment income exceeding the Company's fourth quarter dividend by $0.02 per share.

Recent Portfolio Activity

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company made 15 new investments totaling $137.9 million, made investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $156.5 million and made a $3.5 million 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. The Company had 12 loans repaid totaling $78.1 million and recognized a net realized loss on these transactions of $0.8 million. The Company received $110.4 million of portfolio company principal payments and sales proceeds and recognized a net realized loss of $0.5 million. The Company received $6.1 million of return of capital from its joint ventures, equity, and royalty rights investments. In addition, the Company sold $27.2 million of middle-market portfolio debt investments to its joint ventures, recognizing a net realized loss on these transactions of $0.4 million. In addition, investments in two portfolio companies were restructured, which resulted in a net realized loss of $4.7 million. Lastly, the Company received proceeds related to the sale of equity investments totaling $0.6 million and recognized a net realized gain on such sales totaling $0.3 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation totaling $9.2 million, consisting of net unrealized appreciation related to forward currency contracts of $27.9 million, net unrealized appreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $14.5 million, unrealized appreciation of $12.0 million on the Sierra credit support agreement with Barings, unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $2.8 million related to the net realized losses on the sales / exits and restructuring of certain investments and unrealized appreciation of $0.3 million on the MVC credit support agreement with Barings, partially offset by net unrealized depreciation on the Company's current portfolio of $46.0 million and deferred taxes of $2.3 million. The net unrealized depreciation on the Company's current portfolio of $46.0 million was driven primarily by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on investments of $37.4 million and the credit or fundamental performance of investments of $10.3 million, partially offset by broad market moves for investments of $1.7 million.

Liquidity and Capitalization

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and foreign currencies of $91.3 million (including restricted cash of $13.5 million), $438.6 million of borrowings outstanding under its $825.0 million senior secured credit agreement, $1,025.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding and a net receivable from unsettled transactions of $9.0 million.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 22, 2024, the Board authorized a 12-month share repurchase program (the "Prior Share Repurchase Program"). Under the Prior Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase, during the 12-month period that commenced 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 Prior Share Repurchase 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 Prior Share Repurchase 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 Prior Share Repurchase Program. The Prior Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. As of February 20, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of 658,132 shares of its common stock in the open market under the Prior Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $9.79 per share, including brokerage commissions.

On February 20, 2025, the Board authorized a new 12-month share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program"). Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase, during the 12-month period commencing on March 1, 2025, 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 Share Repurchase Program is expected to be in effect until March 1, 2026, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Board has been expended. The Share Repurchase 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.

Dividend Information

The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share, which is payable as follows:

First Quarter 2025 Dividend:
Amount per share:			$0.26
Record date:			March 5, 2025
Payment date:			March 12, 2025

The Board also declared three special dividends totaling $0.15 per share to be paid in three equal installments during the first three quarters of 2025. The first $0.05 per share special dividend will be paid on March 12, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 5, 2025. The second $0.05 per share special dividend will be paid on June 11, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 4, 2025. The third $0.05 per share special dividend will be paid on September 10, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 3, 2025.

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 December 31, 2024, the Company made approximately $81.3 million of new commitments, of which $49.9 million closed and funded. The $49.9 million of investments consist of $49.8 million of first lien senior secured debt investments, $0.1 million of second lien senior secured debt investments and $18.3 thousand of equity investments. The weighted average yield of the debt investments was 9.5%. In addition, the Company funded $9.9 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.
