      Second Quarter 2020 Results

      Commenting of the quarter, Eric Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In the midst of continued uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Barings BDC strengthened its balance sheet and overall financial condition in the second quarter. Our core middle-market portfolio performed well, our net asset value increased as a result of improved asset values, and our leverage decreased as we continued to rotate out of liquid assets and repay debt. These positive trends, when combined with our new $100 million unsecured debt commitment, position us to take advantage of what we anticipate will be a more active direct lending market in the second half of 2020."   

      During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company reported total investment income of $16.1 million, net investment income of $6.5 million, or $0.14 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $54.7 million, or $1.14 per share.

      NAV per share as of June 30, 2020 was $10.23, as compared to $9.23 as of March 31, 2020. The increase in NAV per share from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to net unrealized appreciation on the Company's investment portfolio and foreign currency transactions of approximately $1.36 per share and the impact of accretive share repurchase of $0.02 per share, partially offset by a net realized loss on investments of $0.34 per share and the Company's second quarter dividend exceeding net investment income by $0.02 per share.

      Recent Portfolio Activity

      During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company purchased $10.5 million in syndicated senior secured loans, made new investments in two middle-market portfolio companies totaling $11.9 million, consisting of two senior secured private debt investments and one minority equity investment, made one new joint venture equity investment totaling $1.5 million, made additional debt investments in seven existing portfolio companies totaling $5.6 million and made an additional investment in its Jocassee Partners, LLC joint venture totaling $5.0 million. The Company had three syndicated senior secured loans repaid at par totaling total $11.0 million, received $1.8 million of syndicated senior secured loan principal payments and received $1.6 million of middle-market portfolio company principal payments. In addition, the Company sold $65.9 million of syndicated senior secured loans, recognizing a net realized loss on these transactions of $16.1 million. In addition, one broadly syndicated loan investment was restructured. Under U.S. GAAP, this restructuring was considered a material modification and as a result, we recognized a loss of approximately $0.6 million related to this restructuring. Lastly, the Company received $0.1 million in escrow distributions from legacy portfolio companies, which were recognized as realized gains.

      In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company reported total net unrealized appreciation of $65.0 million, consisting of net unrealized appreciation on our current portfolio of $43.8 million, net unrealized depreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $1.4 million and net unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $22.7 million related to the net realized losses on the sales / repayments of certain syndicated secured loans. The net unrealized appreciation on the Company's current portfolio of $43.8 million was driven by broad market moves for liquid syndicated secured loans and structured products totaling $31.6 million, broad market moves for middle-market debt investments of $5.1 million, the credit or fundamental performance of middle-market debt investments totaling $2.9 million, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on middle-market debt investments of $1.3 million, and net unrealized appreciation on the Company's total equity and joint venture investments of $3.0 million.

      As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $18.5 million, short-term money market fund investments of $58.0 million,$342.9 million of borrowings outstanding under its $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement and $226.4 million outstanding under its term debt securitization. During the quarter, the Company fully repaid and voluntarily elected to terminate its Barings BDC Senior Funding I, LLC credit agreement.

      Share Repurchase Program

      On February 27, 2020, the Board approved an open-market share repurchase program for fiscal year 2020 (the "2020 Share Repurchase Program"). Under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized during fiscal year 2020 to repurchase up to a maximum of 5.0% of the amount of shares outstanding as of February 27, 2020 if shares trade below NAV per share, subject to liquidity and regulatory constraints.

      As of August 5, 2020, the Company had repurchased a total of 989,050 shares of its common stock in the open market under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program (approximately 2.0% of shares outstanding as of February 27, 2020), at an average price of $7.21 per share, including commissions paid.

      Dividend Information

      The Board has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share.

      The Company's third quarter dividend will be payable as follows:

      Third Quarter 2020 Dividend:

      Amount per share: 

      $0.16

      Record date: 

      September 9, 2020

      Payment date:  

      September 16, 2020

      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 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, 2020, the Company made approximately $60.6 million of new private debt commitments, of which $15.7 million closed and funded. The $15.7 million of investments consist of two first lien senior secured debt investments with a weighted average yield of 14.0%. In addition, the Company funded $5.7 million of previously committed delayed draw term loans. As of August 4, 2020, Barings North American Private Finance group had a probability weighted pipeline of approximately $937 million, in which Barings BDC may have the ability to participate. Not all deals may be suitable for Barings BDC and the Company's allocations will be determined in accordance with Barings Global Private Finance allocation policy.

      On August 3, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") governing the issuance of (i) $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series A senior unsecured notes (the "Series A Notes") due August 2025 with a fixed interest rate of 4.66% per year, and (ii) up to $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional senior unsecured notes (the "Additional Notes" and, collectively with the Series A Notes, the "August 2025 Notes") due August 2025 with a fixed interest rate per year to be determined, in each case, to qualified institutional investors in a private placement. An aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 of the Series A Notes is expected to be issued in September 2020 (subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions contained in the Note Purchase Agreement) and will mature on August 4, 2025, and an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 of the Series A Notes is expected to be issued in December 2020 (subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions contained in the Note Purchase Agreement) and mature on August 4, 2025, in each case unless redeemed, purchased or prepaid prior to such date by the Company or its affiliates in accordance with their terms. Interest on the August 2025 Notes will be due semiannually. In addition, the Company is obligated to offer to repay the August 2025 Notes at par if certain change in control events occur. The August 2025 Notes will be the Company's general unsecured obligations that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company.

      Forward-Looking Statements

      Statements included herein or on the webcast/conference call may constitute "forward-looking statements," which relate to future events or Barings BDC's future performance or financial condition. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made, which reflect management's current estimates, projections, expectations or beliefs, and which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the ability of Barings LLC to manage Barings BDC and identify investment opportunities, are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions, including with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on Barings BDC's and its portfolio companies' results of operations and financial condition, and may not be relied upon as investment advice or an indication of Barings BDC's trading intent. More information on these risks and other potential factors that could affect Barings BDC's financial results, including important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from plans, estimates or expectations included herein or on the webcast/conference call, is included in Barings BDC's filings with the SEC, including in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of Barings BDC's most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, as well as in subsequent filings, including Barings BDC's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In addition, there is no assurance that Barings BDC or any of its affiliates will purchase additional shares of Barings BDC at any specific discount levels or in any specific amounts. There is no assurance that the market price of Barings BDC's shares, either absolutely or relative to net asset value, will increase as a result of any share repurchases, or that any repurchase plan will enhance stockholder value over the long term.

      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 cash, short-term investments and 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 an 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 and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures in the last table included in this press release.
