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 third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2025
- Net investment income of $30.0 million, or $0.43 per share;
- Net asset value of $16.34 per share, decreased from $16.37 per share as of June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of unrealized losses of $0.08 offset by higher net investment income earned over distributions paid of $0.03 and accretive share repurchases of $0.02;
- New private credit and equity co-investment commitments of $295.5 million, fundings of $273.6 million and repayments of $73.5 million, resulting in a net funded private credit and equity investment increase of $200.1 million;
- Sales and repayments of broadly syndicated loans of $113.0 million;
- The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a regular dividend of $0.40 per share, to be paid on January 16, 2026 to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2025.
“We delivered another solid quarter marked by strong origination activity, stable credit performance and a high-quality earnings mix. With nearly $300 million in new private credit investments at an average spread of 568bps over SOFR, we continue to see healthy deal flow in the core middle market, driven in-part by a recent pickup in M&A-related financing opportunities, which we believe bodes well for outlook in the near-term,” said Doug Goodwillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer.
“Despite broader market volatility and headlines around the private credit space, our target market broadly and portfolio specifically continue to demonstrate strong fundamentals. We remain defensively positioned with 94% of our portfolio invested in first-lien senior secured loans, lending at an average leverage level of 4.2x, lower than many of our peers, and continue to be pleased with credit performance of our loan book with a non-accrual rate of just 1.4%,” said Ken Leonard, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “We believe KBDC is well-positioned to continue its relative outperformance while generating attractive, risk-adjusted returns through varying market cycles.”

Results of Operations
Total investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $61.3 million, as compared to $57.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by rotations out of the lower yielding broadly syndicated loans into middle market loans, accelerated amortization and fees earned from repayments and the impact of net additions to the portfolio during the third quarter. PIK income represented 3.5% of total interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Net investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $30.0 million or $0.43 per share as compared to $28.7 million or $0.40 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Net expenses for the third quarter were $31.3 million, as compared to $28.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily the result of higher average borrowings on our credit facilities and increased base management fees as a partial fee waiver was in effect during the second quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company had a net change in unrealized losses on investments of $5.0 million. The unrealized losses for the quarter were primarily driven by negative fair value changes and quarterly amortization of original issue discounts, partially offset by new upfront fees for originations during the quarter. Additionally, the Company had $0.4 million of deferred income tax expense related to unrealized gains on equity investments in the Company’s wholly owned taxable subsidiary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $75 million senior unsecured notes outstanding, $1,078 million borrowed under its credit facilities and cash and cash equivalents of $46.1 million (including investments in money market funds). As of that date, the Company had $322 million of undrawn commitments available on its credit facilities (subject to borrowing base restrictions and other conditions).
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s debt-to-equity ratio was 1.01x and its asset coverage ratio was 199%. The Company targets a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.0x to 1.25x (which equates to asset coverage of 200% to 180%). During the third quarter, the Company reached the low end of its target debt-to-equity ratio range and expects to continue to grow its private credit portfolio. The Company may operate above or below its target based on market conditions.
Recent Developments
- On October 15, 2025, the Company completed a $200 million private placement of senior unsecured notes, comprising $40 million of floating rate Series C Notes (SOFR + 2.32%) due June 2028, $60 million of 5.80% Series D Notes due June 2028, and $100 million of 6.15% Series E Notes due October 2030. Proceeds were used to refinance debt and for general corporate purposes. To better match its predominantly floating rate investment portfolio, the Company entered into interest rate swaps for the Series D and E Notes, effectively converting the fixed rates to floating rates of SOFR plus 2.37% and SOFR plus 2.6565%, respectively.
- On November 4, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend to common stockholders in the amount of $0.40 per share. The regular dividend of $0.40 per share will be paid on January 16, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2025.
- From October 1, 2025 to November 5, 2025, the Company’s agent repurchased 1,369,049 shares of common stock at an average price of $13.99 per share for a total amount of $19.2 million. As of November 5, 2025, $65.7 million remains for repurchase under the Company’s amended 10b5-1 Plan.
- On November 10, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Frank P. Karl as President and appointed Andy Wedderburn-Maxwell as Senior Vice President.
