      Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

      Commenting on the quarter, Jonathan Bock, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Barings BDC continued to drive attractive investor returns across our wide frame of investment reference. We had meaningful capital deployments across our global franchise, levered the Barings BDC's balance sheet with further issuance of unsecured debt in anticipation of our close with Sierra Income Corporation, and experienced price appreciation across our cross platform investments. As a result, we were pleased to raise our first quarter dividend to $0.23, an increase of 4.5% over last quarter."

      During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported total investment income of $36.6 million, net investment income of $15.2 million, or $0.23 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $11.5 million, or $0.18 per share.

      Net asset value ("NAV") per share as of December 31, 2021 was $11.36, as compared to $11.40 as of September 30, 2021. The decrease in NAV per share from September 30, 2021 to December 31, 2021 was primarily attributed to net unrealized depreciation on the Company's investment portfolio, credit support agreement and foreign currency transactions of approximately $0.03 per share and a net realized loss on investments and foreign currency transactions of $0.03 per share, partially offset by net investment income exceeding the fourth quarter dividend by approximately $0.01 per share.

      Eric Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "2021 continued to showcase the growth of the Barings platform and its commitment to drive strong underlying returns at Barings BDC. The past year, Barings BDC deployed $1,147.1 million and $339.0 million in middle market and cross platform investments, respectively, closed a purchase of a leading asset based lender, announced an agreement to merge with Sierra Income Corporation, and issued investment grade bonds at similar pricing levels to our secured facility. We believe that Barings BDC remains well capitalized, diversified, and well positioned to drive strong returns in 2022 across our global investment platform."

      Recent Portfolio Activity

      During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company made 54 new investments totaling $489.5 million, made investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $127.7 million, and made additional investments in existing joint venture equity portfolio companies totaling $53.8 million. The Company had eleven loans repaid at par totaling $86.5 million and received $3.9 million of portfolio company principal payments. In addition, the Company sold $163.4 million of loans, recognizing a net realized loss on these transactions of $0.8 million, and sold $198.0 million of middle-market portfolio company debt investments to its joint venture and realized a loss on these transactions of $1.7 million. Lastly, the Company received proceeds related to the sales of equity investments totaling $1.2 million and recognized a net realized gain on such sales totaling $0.8 million.

      During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported total net unrealized depreciation of $1.9 million, consisting of net unrealized depreciation on its current portfolio of $2.4 million, net of unrealized depreciation reclassification adjustments of $3.7 million related to realized gains and losses recognized during the year, partially offset by net unrealized appreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $3.0 million and unrealized appreciation of $1.1 million on the credit support agreement with Barings. The net unrealized depreciation on the Company's current portfolio of $2.4 million was driven primarily by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on investments of $2.1 million and the credit or fundamental performance of investments of $7.8 million, partially offset by broad market moves for investments of $7.5 million.

      Liquidity and Capitalization

      As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and foreign currencies of $84.3 million, $655.2 million of borrowings outstanding under its $875.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement and $725.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding. In addition, the Company had a net receivable from unsettled transactions of $192.9 million and commitments from an investor to purchase an additional $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes under its Note Purchase Agreement entered into on August 3, 2020 (the "August 2020 NPA"), subject to the terms of the August 2020 NPA.

      Share Repurchase Program

      In connection with the completion of the Company's acquisition of MVC Capital, Inc. ("MVC") on December 23, 2020, the Company committed to make open-market purchases of shares of its common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million at then-current market prices at any time shares trade below 90% of the Company's then most recently disclosed NAV per share. Any repurchases pursuant to the authorized program will occur during the 12-month period that commenced upon the filing of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which occurred on May 6, 2021, and will be made in accordance with applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares under the authorized program.

      Dividend Information

      As previously announced on February 1, 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2022.

      The Company's first quarter dividend is payable as follows:

      First Quarter 2022 Dividend:

      $0.23

      Payment date: 

      February 23, 2022

      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.

      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 total debt less unrestricted cash and foreign currencies (excluding restricted cash), short-term investments and net 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.
