- Core investment income1, excluding the impact of purchase price accounting, for the third quarter of 2026 was $12.2 million, compared to $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2026.
- Net investment income (“NII”) for the third quarter of 2026, was $4.6 million ($0.37 per share), compared to $5.5 million ($0.45 per share) for the second quarter of 2026.
- Net asset value (“NAV”) as of September 30, 2026 was $162.7 million ($13.13 per share), compared to $179.5 million ($14.49 per share) as of June 30, 2026.
- Non-accrual investments decreased to 10 across 7 portfolio companies from 11 across 7 portfolio companies, representing 2.8% and 6.0% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, as of September 30, 2026, compared to 3.1% and 5.7%, respectively, as of June 30, 2026. For a subset of the non-accrual population, the Company continues to recognize interest income on a cash basis (i.e., only when cash payments are received).
- Deployment of approximately $3.1 million and repayments and sales of approximately $8.9 million resulting in net repayments and sales of approximately $5.8 million during the quarter.
- The Company issued $10.0 million of 7.50% notes due 2029 on September 2, 2026, as additional notes under the Sixth Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the Company previously issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% notes due 2029 on March 24, 2026. The additional notes are consolidated with and treated as a single series and have the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise (other than issue date) as the initial issuance.
- The Company amended its senior secured revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association (as amended, the “KeyBank Credit Facility”) on August 6, 2026, reducing the applicable borrowing spread from 2.80% to 2.50% during the reinvestment period and from 3.20% to 3.00% during the amortization period, extending the reinvestment period to August 2029 and the maturity date to August 2031, and increasing committed capacity under the KeyBank Credit Facility from $75.0 million to $150.0 million. Borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility were used to repay in full all outstanding advances and other amounts then due under the Company's revolving credit facility with JPMorgan, and the commitments thereunder were terminated, consolidating the Company's secured revolving borrowings into a single facility.
Subsequent Events
- On September 3, 2026, the Company notified U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association of its election to redeem the remaining $10.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 2026 Notes pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture. On October 3, 2026, the 2026 Notes were redeemed at par plus accrued interest which resulted in a loss of less than $0.1 million.
- On October 30, 2026, the Company paid its regular monthly base distribution of $0.09 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of October 15, 2026.
- On November 11, 2026, the Company declared a regular monthly base distribution of $0.09 per share of common stock for each of January, February, and March 2027. The January 2027 distribution is payable on January 29, 2027, to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 15, 2027. The February 2027 distribution is payable on March 2, 2027, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 16, 2027. The March 2027 distribution is payable on March 30, 2027, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2027.
- On November 11, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Investcorp Credit Management BDC, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“ICMB”), and Aria Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that (i) Acquisition Sub will merge with and into ICMB (the “First Merger”), with ICMB continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Surviving Company”), and (ii) immediately after the effectiveness of the First Merger, the Surviving Company will merge with and into the Company (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. ICMB’s board of directors, on the recommendation of its special committee, and the Company’s board of directors have each approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and have declared the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby advisable. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of ICMB’s common stock (other than shares held by subsidiaries of ICMB or held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or Acquisition Sub) will be converted into the right to receive newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock and, if applicable, cash, without interest, based on aggregate consideration equal to 90% of ICMB’s adjusted net asset value. The exchange ratio will be based on the parties’ respective adjusted net asset values per share. The stock consideration is capped at 19.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of November 11, 2026, and the cash consideration is capped at 60% of the aggregate merger consideration, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement to preserve the intended economic terms and tax treatment. Consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including approval by ICMB’s stockholders and the delivery of customary instruments providing for the payoff of ICMB’s outstanding indebtedness.
Management Commentary
Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of BCP Investment Corporation, stated, “We are pleased to announce our proposed merger with ICMB, which represents another step in the execution of our strategy to pursue consolidation in the BDC space. We expect the transaction to be accretive for ICMB and BCIC stockholders. We have been proactive in identifying specific opportunities where our Company can benefit from greater scale and cost synergies, and we believe the combined company will benefit from having lower financing costs, a reduction in public company costs per share and improved trading liquidity in the equity.
During the third quarter, we continued to actively manage and reposition our portfolio, with an emphasis on credit quality, liquidity and strengthening our overall financial position. We completed the previously announced amendment to our KeyBank Credit Facility, increasing borrowing capacity to $150 million, reducing the spread by 30 basis points and extending the KeyBank Credit Facility’s revolving period and maturity date by two years. Additionally, during the quarter, we increased our unsecured financing by issuing an incremental $10 million of our 7.50% notes due 2029, the proceeds of which were then used to redeem the remaining $10 million of our 2026 Notes, further enhancing our capital structure and eliminating all near-term debt maturities. Together, these actions have derisked near-term refinancing risks and streamlined our debt capital structure.
Net investment income of $0.37 per share for the quarter continued to reflect elevated portfolio repayments. While repayments continued to outpace new deployments, we have remained disciplined in deploying capital and continue to evaluate opportunities that meet our underwriting criteria.
Net asset value was impacted by unrealized mark-to-market movements throughout the portfolio, reflecting markdowns across multiple industries during the quarter. We remain closely engaged with these portfolio companies as they navigate the current environment. At the same time, the number of debt investments on non-accrual declined from 11 to 10 during the quarter, while non-accrual investments at fair value decreased to 2.8% of the portfolio from 3.1% in the prior quarter.
Looking ahead, our priorities remain centered on actively managing the existing portfolio, maintaining balance sheet flexibility, and allocating capital where we see the most compelling risk-adjusted returns. Given current trading levels, we expect to favor debt repayment and share repurchases as we receive repayments over new investments in the coming quarters. We believe the improvements to our financing structure leave us well positioned to manage through the current environment.
Lastly, we are pleased that our Board has approved regular monthly base distributions totaling $0.27 per share for the first quarter of 2027. We remain committed to providing consistent distributions to our shareholders while managing the portfolio with a long-term perspective.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $282.4 million (par value) of outstanding borrowings at a current weighted average interest rate of 7.0%, of which approximately $182.0 million par value had a fixed rate and $100.4 million par value had a floating rate.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had unrestricted cash of $2.3 million and restricted cash of $3.6 million, compared to $2.5 million and $5.2 million as of June 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $49.6 million of available borrowing capacity under the KeyBank Credit Facility.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including SOFR and prime rates.
As of September 30, 2026, approximately 86.3% of the Company’s Debt Securities Portfolio at par value was floating rate, with a spread to an interest rate index such as SOFR or the prime rate. Approximately 95.9% of these floating rate loans contain floors ranging between 0.50% and 5.25%. We generally expect that future portfolio investments will predominantly be floating rate investments.
In periods of rising or declining interest rates, the cost of the portion of the Company’s debt associated with its fixed rate borrowings would remain the same, while the interest rate on borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility would fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Generally, the Company would expect that an increase in the base rate index for floating rate investment assets would increase gross investment income and a decrease in the base rate index for such assets would decrease gross investment income (in either case, such increase/decrease may be limited by interest rate floors/minimums for certain investment assets).

(1) During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company received $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, of non-recurring fee income that was paid in-kind and included in this financial statement line item. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company received $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of non-recurring fee income that was paid in-kind and included in this financial statement line item.
1 Core investment income represents reported total investment income as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, less the impact of purchase discount accretion in connection with the Garrison Capital Inc. (“GARS”), Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”), and Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (“LRFC”) mergers. BCIC believes presenting core investment income and the related per share amount is a useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance due to the unique circumstance giving rise to the purchase accounting adjustment. However, core investment income is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for total investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, core investment income should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing BCIC’s financial performance.
2 Net leverage is calculated as the ratio between (A) debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, less available cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and (B) NAV. BCIC believes presenting a net leverage ratio is useful and appropriate supplemental disclosure because it reflects the Company’s financial condition net of $5.9 million and $7.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively. However, the net leverage ratio is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for the regulatory asset coverage ratio and other similar information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, the net leverage ratio should be reviewed only in connection with such U.S. GAAP measures in analyzing BCIC’s financial condition.
