Insights

LIEN delivered solid Q2 results with stable NII of $0.34/share fully covering its dividend while expanding its investment portfolio.

Chicago Atlantic BDC has reported steady performance for Q2 2025 with $13.1 million in gross investment income and $7.7 million in net investment income ($0.34 per share). The company's investment portfolio reached $307.5 million across 31 portfolio companies, showing continued growth.

The 100% dividend coverage ratio is particularly positive, with NII exactly matching the declared dividend of $0.34 per share. This indicates management's discipline in setting sustainable distribution levels for shareholders.

LIEN's NAV increased slightly to $13.23 per share from $13.19 in the previous quarter, demonstrating stability in the underlying portfolio despite significant new deployments. The absence of any loans on non-accrual status reflects strong credit quality management.

The company has maintained robust liquidity with $108.8 million available as of quarter-end, including $13.8 million in cash and minimal borrowings of $5 million on its $100 million credit facility. This substantial dry powder positions them well for continued growth.

The deployment of $56 million in new investments during Q2 and early Q3 demonstrates strong origination capabilities. Their substantial pipeline of over $780 million in potential opportunities across both cannabis and non-cannabis sectors indicates a healthy deal flow that could fuel further portfolio expansion.

With the current interest rate environment, BDCs like LIEN that primarily invest in floating-rate loans should continue to generate attractive yields, though this will depend on the broader interest rate trajectory.
