Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, revealing a total investment income of $91.6 million, a decrease from $110.4 million in the same period last year. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, total investment income was $279.5 million, down from $330.6 million in 2024. The company's net investment income after taxes for the quarter was $45.3 million, compared to $68.2 million in the prior year, while the nine-month figure fell to $139.4 million from $196 million. The decline in income was attributed to a reduction in the size of the investment portfolio and lower base interest rates.
The company's total assets as of September 30, 2025, were reported at $3.39 billion, down from $3.60 billion at the end of 2024. Total investments at fair value decreased to $3.20 billion from $3.48 billion, with significant reductions in non-controlled/non-affiliated investments. The net asset value per share also declined to $12.75 from $13.41 at the end of the previous fiscal year. The company’s liabilities decreased to $1.93 billion from $2.03 billion, primarily due to a reduction in debt levels.
In terms of operational developments, Goldman Sachs BDC continued to focus on its investment strategy, which includes direct originations of secured debt and select equity investments. The company reported a weighted average yield on its total portfolio of 9.8% at amortized cost, down from 10.1% at the end of 2024. The company also noted that 99.4% of its performing debt investments bore interest at a floating rate, which is significant given the current interest rate environment.
Looking ahead, Goldman Sachs BDC expressed cautious optimism regarding its investment strategy and market conditions. The company plans to continue leveraging its existing credit facilities and may explore additional investment opportunities as market conditions evolve. The management indicated that they are committed to maintaining compliance with the Investment Company Act's asset coverage requirements, which stood at 178% as of September 30, 2025. The company also declared a quarterly base distribution of $0.32 per share, alongside a supplemental distribution of $0.04 per share, reflecting its ongoing commitment to returning value to shareholders.
