Third Quarter 2022 Results

Commenting on the quarter, Jon Bock, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "While uncertain and volatile economic conditions are pressuring global asset prices, we continue to see strong performance across our diversified investment portfolio. Portfolio yields continue to increase as a result of increasing base rates, and our stockholder friendly incentive fee 'look back' further demonstrates investor alignment in the event of unrealized write-downs resulting from increasing yields. Looking into the fourth quarter, we see continued strong portfolio performance and expect to benefit from deploying incremental capital at attractive risk-adjusted returns. With that as our frame of reference, we expect fourth quarter net investment income of at least $0.27 per share, with further expansion into 2023."

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported total investment income of $56.3 million, net investment income of $27.9 million, or $0.26 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $9.9 million, or $0.09 per share.

Net asset value ("NAV") per share as of September 30, 2022 was $11.28, as compared to $11.41 as of June 30, 2022. The decrease in NAV per share from June 30, 2022 to September 30, 2022 was primarily attributed to net unrealized depreciation on the Company's investment portfolio, credit support agreements and foreign currency transactions of approximately $0.24 per share, partially offset by a net realized gain on investments and foreign currency transactions of $0.07 per share, share repurchases of $0.02 per share and net investment income exceeding the Company's third quarter dividend by $0.02 per share.

Jonathan Landsberg, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We continue to benefit from rising base rates as the weighted-average yield on our debt investments expanded meaningfully in the quarter. Moreover, our current net leverage ratio of 0.99x affords us the flexibility to take advantage of increasingly attractive risk-adjusted returns. As a result, our Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.24 per share, or an 8.5% yield on our September 30, 2022 net asset value of $11.28 per share. This dividend level aligns with our hurdle rate, the highest in the BDC sector at 8.25%, which provides meaningful earnings power protection in the event of increased credit stress. We anticipate earnings will continue exceeding our base dividend in the current environment, and we will look to drive additional stockholder value through a combination of retention of excess earnings, continued share repurchases, and future special dividend distributions."

Recent Portfolio Activity

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company made 21 new investments totaling $183.4 million and made investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $50.7 million. The Company had 8 loans repaid totaling $60.0 million, received $24.2 million of portfolio company principal payments and received $21.1 million of return of capital from our joint ventures. In addition, the Company sold $84.2 million of loans, recognizing a net realized loss on these transactions of $3.6 million and sold $45.1 million of middle-market portfolio company debt investments to one of its joint ventures and realized a loss on these transactions of $5.4 million. Lastly, the Company received a distribution from one of its portfolio companies totaling $6.2 million, which was recognized as a realized gain.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded net unrealized depreciation totaling $26.1 million, consisting of net unrealized depreciation on its current portfolio of $47.9 million, unrealized depreciation of $0.1 million on the MVC credit support agreement with Barings, unrealized depreciation reclassification adjustments of $0.5 million related to the net realized gains on the sales / repayments of certain investments, net of unrealized appreciation of $3.5 million on the Sierra credit support agreement with Barings, deferred tax asset of $1.6 million and net unrealized appreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $17.2 million. The net unrealized depreciation on the Company's current portfolio of $47.9 million was driven primarily by credit or fundamental performance of investments of $1.8 million, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on investments of $26.9 million and broad market moves for investments of $19.2 million.

Liquidity and Capitalization

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and foreign currencies of $137.3 million, $651.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its $1.1 billion 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 $28.1 million.

Share Purchase Program

In connection with the completion of the Company's acquisition of Sierra on February 25, 2022, the Company committed to make open-market purchases of shares of its common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $30.0 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 commencing on April 1, 2022 and are expected to be made in accordance with a Rule 10b5-1 purchase plan that qualifies for the safe harbors provided by Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, as well as subject to compliance with the Company's covenant and regulatory requirements. As of November 10, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 2,263,496 shares of its common stock in the open market under the authorized program at an average price of $9.69 per share, including broker commissions.

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 September 30, 2022, the Company made approximately $131.1 million of new commitments, of which $103.0 million closed and funded. The $103.0 million of investments consists of $97.5 million of first lien senior secured debt investments and $5.5 million of equity investments. The weighted average yield of the debt investments was 9.9%. In addition, the Company funded $7.5 million of previously committed delayed draw term loans.

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company placed its debt investment in Core Scientific Inc. ("Core Scientific") on non-accrual status effective with the monthly payment due October 31, 2022. As a result, under U.S. GAAP, the Company will no longer recognize interest income on its debt investment in Core Scientific for financial reporting purposes.

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 Company's projected net investment income and earnings, the Company's distribution levels and frequency of distributions, the Company's share repurchase activity, the ability of Barings LLC to manage Barings BDC and identify investment opportunities, all of which 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 the risks and other potential factors that could affect Barings BDC's financial results and future events, including important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from plans, estimates or expectations included herein or discussed 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 unrestricted cash and foreign currencies (excluding restricted cash) 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.
