Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. Announces June 30, 2026 Financial Results and Declares Third 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026
“We delivered another quarter of solid performance, with net investment income of $0.42 per share covering our dividend and an annualized ROE on net investment income of 10.5%," said Doug Goodwillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "Our year-to-date results highlight the resilience of our value lending strategy. This strategy’s core philosophy involves lending to stable industries with conservative leverage at the borrower level, thereby mitigating many of the challenges currently facing the private credit sector.”
“We are pleased to see a pickup in deal flow in the core middle market at the start of the third quarter, and are encouraged by our closing of $139 million of new private credit commitments during a rather slow second quarter for M&A," said Ken Leonard, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "New floating rate originations priced at SOFR plus 566 basis points, 17 basis points wider than the prior quarter, reflects a favorable pricing environment for our selective, time-tested, conservative, underwriting approach.”

Results of Operations
Total investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $55.7 million, as compared to $57.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily driven by catch-up PIK interest income from Arborworks Acquisition following the change to accrual status during the first quarter and the impact of American Soccer Company being on non-accrual during the second quarter, partially offset by interest income on new investments made during the second quarter. PIK income represented 4.5% of total interest income for the quarter, as compared to 7.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. 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 June 30, 2026 was $27.5 million or $0.42 per share as compared to $28.9 million or $0.43 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net expenses for the quarter were $28.2 million, as compared to $28.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily related to lower incentive fees during the quarter, partially offset by higher interest expense from higher average borrowings and slightly higher management fees during the second quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company had realized losses of $12.2 million and had a net change in unrealized losses on investments of $4.6 million. The realized losses are primarily due to Sundance Holdings Group, LLC, for which the liquidation process was completed in the second quarter ($9.4 million), Diverzify Intermediate LLC, for which our existing debt was exchanged for new debt that included a first lien last out tranche ($0.9 million) and the rotation out of our four remaining broadly syndicated loans ($1.9 million). 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 and reversal of unrealized losses to realized losses.
