Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. Announces March 31, 2026 Financial Results and Declares Second Quarter 2026 Dividend of $0.40 Per Share

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. (NYSE: KBDC) (“KBDC or the Company”), a business development company externally managed by its investment adviser, KA Credit Advisors, LLC, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

• Net investment income of $28.9 million, or $0.43 per share;
• Net asset value of $16.23 per share, decreased from $16.32 per share as of December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of realized and unrealized losses of $0.17, partially offset by higher net investment income earned over distributions paid of $0.03 and accretive share repurchases of $0.05;
• New private credit and equity co-investment commitments of $92.5 million, fundings of $99.1 million and repayments of $74.6 million, resulting in a net funded private credit and equity investment increase of $24.5 million;
• Sales and repayments of broadly syndicated loans of $17.4 million;
• The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a regular dividend of $0.40 per share, to be paid on July 16, 2026 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2026.

“KBDC's stable performance in today’s market reinforces the differentiation of our value lending strategy," said Doug Goodwillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "Our focus on conservative structures in stable, staple industries and our negligible exposure to software positions us to navigate uncertainty from a place of strength and to continue delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term."

"First quarter results demonstrate the consistency and resiliency of our credit approach," said Ken Leonard, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "NII of $0.43 per share again exceeded our $0.40 dividend, on a 93% first-lien focused portfolio yielding 10.1%. Our selective approach resulted in new originations priced at SOFR plus 549 basis points aimed at attractive risk-adjusted opportunities underwritten with our consistent time-tested, conservative approach."

Results of Operations

Total investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $57.3 million, as compared to $61.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower average reference rates and less accelerated OID and repayment fees related to realization activity, partially offset by PIK interest income from Arborworks Acquisition resulting from the change from non-accrual to accrual status. PIK income represented 7.5% of total interest income for the quarter, as compared to 7.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, 3.9% of total interest income relates to PIK interest recognized on the Company’s debt investments in Arborworks Acquisition, LLC following the change to accrual status.

Net investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $28.9 million or $0.43 per share as compared to $30.1 million or $0.44 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Net expenses for the quarter were $28.4 million, as compared to $31.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily related to lower interest expense and lower incentive fees during the quarter.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company had realized losses of $2.3 million and had a net change in unrealized losses on investments of $9.0 million. In February 2026, the Company completed a restructure of its debt investment in Regiment Security Partners LLC whereby the existing first lien senior secured debt was exchanged for new debt that included a tranche of last out first lien senior secured debt, and the Company recognized a $2.0 million realized loss as a result of the debt restructure. The Company also recognized a $0.3 million realized loss due to the rotation out of one of its broadly syndicated loans. The unrealized losses for the quarter were primarily driven by decreases in fair value and quarterly amortization of original issue discounts, partially offset by new upfront fees for originations during the quarter.
