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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
"We believe that the core middle market represents the most attractive risk / reward area of private credit and are pleased with the portfolio of senior secured first lien loans that we have constructed for KBDC," said Ken Leonard, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "Our middle market loans have relatively low leverage and higher interest coverage while earning an attractive yield for our shareholders."
"We are encouraged by the increase in origination activity that we have experienced in the first half of the year and are confident that KBDC will continue to grow its private credit portfolio over the remainder of the year to the benefit of our shareholders," said Doug Goodwillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer.

- Amended the Revolving Funding Facility, increasing the commitment from $455 million to $600 million, extending the maturity date to April 3, 2029 and reducing the interest rate from daily SOFR plus 2.75% to SOFR plus 2.375%-2.50% depending on the mix of loans securing the facility;
- New private credit investment commitments of $141.8 million, fundings of $136.2 million and sales and repayments of $40.5 million, resulting in a net funded private credit portfolio increase of $95.7 million;

Results of Operations
Total investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $52.5 million, as compared to $46.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase was driven by the additions to the portfolio during the second quarter and the full quarter impact of purchases made late in the first quarter.
Net investment income for the quarter ending June 30, 2024 was $34.4 million or $0.51 per share, compared to $23.8 million or $0.52 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Total expenses for the second quarter were $18.1 million compared to $22.7 million for the prior quarter. The decrease was due to lower interest expense resulting from using a portion of the proceeds from the Company's IPO to repay revolver borrowings during the quarter. The decrease was also a result of a full waiver of income-based incentive fees during the quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the net change in unrealized losses was $3.1 million. The unrealized losses for the quarter were primarily driven by changes in the fair value of certain investments, particularly Trademark Global and Siegel Egg. Trademark Global was moved to non-accrual status as of June 30, 2024. For the quarter, realized losses were $0.1 million related to the disposition of a broadly syndicated loan position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $75 million senior unsecured notes outstanding, $547 million borrowed under its credit facilities and cash and cash equivalents of $40.6 million (including short-term investments). As of that date, the Company had $603 million of undrawn commitments available on its credit facilities (subject to borrowing base restrictions and other conditions).
On April 3, 2024, the Company, and its wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, Kayne Anderson BDC Financing, LLC, amended the senior secured revolving funding facility (the "Revolving Funding Facility"). Under the terms of the third amendment, the commitment amount was increased from $455 million to $600 million. The end of the reinvestment period was extended to April 2, 2027 and the maturity date was extended to April 3, 2029. The interest rate on the Revolving Funding Facility was reduced from daily SOFR plus 2.75% per annum to SOFR plus 2.375% - 2.50% per annum depending on the mix of loans securing the Revolving Funding Facility.
The Company received net cash proceeds of $92.4 million upon the completion of its IPO on May 24, 2024, and received net cash proceeds of $269.9 million on April 2, 2024 when it closed its final capital call with pre-IPO shareholders.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 0.53x and its asset coverage ratio was 289%. The Company targets a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.0x to 1.25x (which equates to asset coverage of 200% to 180%). The Company is currently below its target but expects to continue to grow its private credit portfolio over coming quarters to achieve its targeted leverage.
