Inception date for Class I and Class S shares: January 7, 2021. Inception date for Class D shares: May 1, 2021. Total Net Return is calculated as the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested) divided by the beginning NAV per share. Returns greater than one year are annualized. Inception-to-date (“ITD”) total return for Class S (no/with upfront placement fee): 9.0%/8.2%. ITD total return for Class D (no/with upfront placement fee): 9.3%/8.9%. All returns shown are derived from unaudited financial information and are net of all BCRED expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, incentive fees, and share class specific fees, but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Past performance does not predict future returns. Class S and Class D listed as (With Upfront Placement Fee or Brokerage Commissions) reflect the returns after the maximum upfront placement fees. Class S and Class D listed as (No Upfront Placement Fee or Brokerage Commissions) exclude upfront placement fees. Class I does not have upfront placement fees. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in BCRED’s portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for BCRED’s NAV. Valuations based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025. BCRED’s weighted average all-in cost of debt is 6.2% and calculated based on annualized all-in cost of debt incurred in Q3’25 (including unused fees, amortization of debt issuance costs (including premiums and discounts), amortization of deferred financing costs, and the impact of hedge accounting) divided by weighted average principal of debt outstanding during the same period. During Q3’25, BCRED’s annualized weighted average interest rate (including unused fees, amortization of debt issuance costs (including premiums and discounts), the impact of the application of hedge accounting) was 6.1%. Peers represented by the non-traded peer average of 7.1% reflecting annualized Q3’25 all-in cost of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2025 weighted by total NAV. All-in cost of debt calculated as interest expense divided by average debt principal outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
As of November 30, 2025, BCRED has an investment grade credit rating of BBB (high) / stable outlook from DBRS Morningstar, provided on December 1, 2023, and an investment grade of Baa2 / stable from Moody’s, provided on September 23, 2024, and an investment grade credit rating of BBB-/ positive from S&P, provided on December 4, 2024. The underlying private credit loans within BCRED are not rated. Credit ratings are statements of opinions and are not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold or sell securities. Blackstone provides compensation directly to DBRS/Morningstar, Moody’s and S&P for its evaluation of BCRED. Credit ratings do not address the suitability of securities or the suitability of securities for investment purposes, and should not be relied on as investment advice.
Based on AUM of $1.2 trillion as of September 30, 2025 which is estimated and unaudited.
As of September 30, 2025. The AUM for Blackstone, Blackstone Credit & Insurance or any specific fund, account or investment strategy presented in this Presentation may differ from any comparable AUM disclosure in other non-public or public sources (including public regulatory filings) due to, among other factors, methods of net asset value and capital commitment reporting, differences in categorizing certain funds and accounts within specific investment strategies and exclusion of certain funds and accounts, or any part of net asset value or capital commitment thereof, from the related AUM calculations. Certain of these differences are in some cases required by applicable regulation. All figures are subject to change. AUM is a combined figure inclusive of Blackstone Credit & Insurance “BXCI” and Real Estate Debt businesses.
As of September 30, 2025. Reflects assets under management from the private wealth channel across Blackstone funds.
Based on AUM of $508 billion as of September 30, 2025 which is estimated and unaudited.
As of September 30, 2025. Numbers presented are calculated since inception of the Value Creation program in 2016. Figures presented are based on data reported by portfolio companies and assets and not from financial statements of portfolio companies. While the data reported by portfolio companies and assets is believed to be reliable for purposes used herein, it is subject to change, and Blackstone has not fully verified, and does not assume responsibility for, the accuracy or completeness of this information.
As of September 30, 2025. Represents the sum of (a) estimated identified annualized cost reduction opportunities multiplied by the Lincoln Observed New Third-Party M&A Buyouts Transaction Multiple, averaged over past 5 years and (b) annualized revenue from introductions across Blackstone portfolio companies multiplied by EBITDA margin and multiple at the time of investment of the portfolio company. Estimates assume revenue enhancements and costs savings directly improve enterprise value or EBITDA margins and that such revenue gains or cost savings will endure for the period of time implied by multiples.
Represents BXCI’s average annualized loss rate for its North America Direct Lending strategy from 2006 through September 30, 2025. The annualized loss rate represents annualized net losses for substantially realized investments. Whether an investment is substantially realized is determined in the manager’s discretion. Investments are included in the loss rate if (1) a payment was missed, (2) bankruptcy was declared, (3) there was a restructuring, or (4) it was realized with a total multiple on invested capital less than 1.0x. Net losses include all profits and losses associated with these investments, including interest payments received. Net losses are represented in the year the investment is substantially realized and excludes all losses associated with unrealized investments. The annualized net loss rate is the net losses divided by the average annual remaining invested capital within the platform. Investments sourced by BXCI for the Sub Advised Investments did, in certain cases, experience defaults and losses after BXCI was no longer sub-adviser, and such defaults and losses are not included in the rates provided. Prior to December 31, 2022, the methodology used by the North America Direct Lending track record for calculating the platform’s average annual loss rate was based on net loss of principal resulting only from payment defaults in the year of default which would exclude interest payments. Past performance does not predict future returns, and there can be no assurance that BXCI will achieve comparable results or that any entity or account managed by or advised by BXCI will be able to implement its investment strategy or achieve its investment objectives.
BCRED will generally invest in securities or loans rated below investment grade or not rated which should be considered to have speculative characteristics. See Summary of Risk Factors for more information.
As of September 30, 2025. Calculated as the amortized cost of loans on non-accrual divided by total amortized cost of the BCRED portfolio excluding investments in joint ventures. Based on the fair market value of the BCRED portfolio excluding investments in joint ventures, BCRED’s non-accrual rate is 0.2% as of September 30, 2025. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt whether principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Peers reflects private credit peers and is represented by the peer average non-accrual rate at cost of 1.8% as of September 30, 2025 weighted by total NAV. Peer data as of September 30, 2025. Non-accrual rate is calculated for each BDC as the amortized cost of loans on non-accrual status divided by total amortized cost of the investment portfolio and excludes equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and separately managed accounts. Based on the fair market value of private credit peers, excluding equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and separately managed accounts, the private credit peers non-accrual rate is 0.8% as of September 30, 2025. Private credit peers include traded peers and non-traded peers. Traded peers include BDCs which are externally-managed with market capitalizations in excess of $1 billion as of December 31, 2024 (excluding BXSL, which is managed by the same investment adviser as BCRED and has significant overlap in its investments with BCRED): Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC), Bain Capital Specialty Finance, Inc.

Private credit market exhibited average LTM EBITDA Growth of 5%, based on issuer companies of loans in the Lincoln International Private Market Database as of September 30, 2025, which is latest available data.
Represents LTM EBITDA Growth year-over-year and excludes private debt investments that funded after September 30, 2024. Fair value is determined by the Board in conjunction with a third-party valuation firm and excludes both asset based investments and quoted investments. BCRED amounts are weighted on fair market value of each respective investment. BCRED amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements (which are generally one quarter in arrears), have not been independently verified by BCRED, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, BCRED makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a particular portfolio company, EBITDA is generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and amortization over the LTM. EBITDA growth year-over-year may reflect some inorganic growth due to mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
Interest coverage ratio (“ICR”) is estimated as the ratio of average LTM EBITDA, to cash interest paid over the last 12 months for each respective portfolio company. Includes all private debt investments (excluding ARR loans) for which fair value is determined by the Board in conjunction with a third party valuation firm and excludes both asset-based investments and quoted investments. Amounts derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, have not been independently verified by BCRED, may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount, and are generally about 90 days in arrears. Accordingly, BCRED makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a particular portfolio company, LTM EBITDA is generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization over the preceding 12-month period. Currency fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income and costs of our portfolio companies and investments which may increase or decrease as a result of changes in exchange rates. We believe Q1’24 reflects a more normalized environment and accurate depiction of portfolio companies’ ICRs following volatility and peak rates in 2023.
As of September 30, 2025. Debt-to-equity ratio represents the ratio of total principal of outstanding debt to net assets.
As of September 30, 2025. Available liquidity is composed of cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, plus the amount available to draw upon across all revolving credit facilities, net of limitations related to each respective credit facility’s borrowing base.
