NEW YORK, August 6, 2025 - Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp.

• Declared third quarter regular distribution of $0.45 per share

"We are pleased with the returns we generated during the second quarter, reflecting the positive momentum in our business driven by the strength of our platform and our high-quality investment portfolio," said Ken Kencel, President and Chief Executive Officer of NCDL and Churchill. "Our portfolio remains healthy, with a low non-accrual rate of 0.2% on a fair value basis, and no new non-accruals during the quarter. As we look to the remainder of the year, we remain focused on maintaining our highly disciplined approach to underwriting and building upon our competitive advantages to source high-quality investments in resilient, service-oriented sectors in the core middle market."

"During the second quarter, we continued to execute on our strategy to strengthen the portfolio and enhance shareholder value," said Shai Vichness, Chief Financial Officer of NCDL and Churchill. "We completed our nearly $100 million share repurchase program in July, repurchasing approximately 5.9 million shares at a meaningful discount to NAV. With over $300 million of liquidity and no near-term debt maturities, we remain well-positioned to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities, fund our unfunded commitments, reinvest capital, and operate within our target leverage range."

**Distribution Declaration**

The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has declared a third quarter 2025 regular distribution of $0.45 per share payable on October 28, 2025 to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2025.

**PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION**

As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the Company's portfolio investments was $2.0 billion across 207 portfolio companies and 26 industries. This compares to $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2025 across 210 portfolio companies and 26 industries.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's portfolio based on fair value consisted of approximately 90.0% first-lien debt, 8.0% subordinated debt investments, and 2.0% equity investments. As of March 31, 2025, the Company's portfolio based on fair value consisted of 90.5% first-lien debt, 7.8% subordinated debt investments, and 1.7% equity investments.

As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the weighted average Internal Risk Rating of the portfolio at fair value was 4.1 and 4.1 (4.0 being the initial rating assigned at origination), respectively. As of June 30, 2025, there were investments in one portfolio company on non-accrual status representing 0.2% of total investments at fair value (or 0.4% of total investments at amortized cost). As of March 31, 2025, there were investments in two portfolio companies on non-accrual status representing 0.4% of total investments at fair value (or 1.0% of total investments at amortized cost).

**PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY**

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company funded $81.1 million of portfolio investments and received $162.2 million of proceeds from principal repayments and sales, compared to $153.0 million and $148.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2025**

**Investment Income**

Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $53.1 million compared to $55.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the size of the Company's portfolio was $2.0 billion and $2.0 billion, at cost, respectively. Average par value of funded debt investments for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.0 billion compared to $1.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average yield of debt and income producing investments decreased to 10.08% from 11.32% as of June 30, 2024, at cost, primarily due to overall tightening of spreads in new investments and the decline in base interest rates.

**Net Expenses**

Net expenses increased to $30.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest and debt financing expenses, management fees, and income based incentive fees. Interest and debt financing expenses increased due to higher average daily borrowings. The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to the increase in the management fee base rate from 0.75% to 1.00%, effective March 31, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Additionally, effective March 31, 2025, the Adviser's waiver of incentive fees on income and on capital gains expired pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 income based incentive fees were $2.8 million.

**Net Realized Gain (Loss) and Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments** 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a net realized loss on investments of $(10.7) million compared to a net realized gain of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The net realized loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the restructuring of an underperforming debt position. The Company recorded a net change in unrealized gain of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which resulted primarily from a reversal of an unrealized loss on an underperforming debt position that was restructured during the period offset by a decrease in fair value of certain underperforming portfolio investments.

**Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $44.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.1 billion in total aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding. Subject to borrowing base and other conditions, the Company had approximately $260.3 million available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility, as of June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, the Company's debt to equity ratio was 1.26x (1.21x net debt to equity ratio) compared to 1.31x (1.25x net to debt equity ratio) at March 31, 2025.

It does not convey an offer of any type and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities of Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. (the "Company," "NCDL," "we," "us" or "our"). Any such offering can be made only at the time an offeree receives a prospectus relating to such offering and other operative documents which contain significant details with respect to risks and should be carefully read. In addition, the information in this presentation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed discussions contained in the Company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including without limitation, the risk factors. Nothing in this presentation constitutes investment advice. You or your clients may lose money by investing in the Company. The Company is not intended to be a complete investment program and, due to the uncertainty inherent in all investments, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its investment objective. The information contained herein is not intended to provide, and should not be relied upon for, accounting, legal or tax advice or investment recommendations. Prospective investors should also seek advice from their own independent tax, accounting, financial, investment and legal advisors to properly assess the merits and risks associated with an investment in the Company in light of their own financial condition and other circumstances. These materials and the presentations of which they are a part, and the summaries contained herein, do not purport to be complete and no obligation to update or otherwise revise such information is being assumed. Nothing shall be relied upon as a promise or representation as to the future performance of the Company. Such information is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed discussions contained elsewhere in the Company's public filings with the SEC. An investment in the Company is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. There can be no guarantee that the Company's investment objective will be achieved. The Company may engage in other investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss. An investor could lose all or substantially all of his, her or its investment. The Company may not provide periodic valuation information to investors, and there may be delays in distributing important tax information. The Company's fees and expenses may be considered high and, as a result, such fees and expenses may offset the Company's profits. For a summary of certain of these and other risks, please see the Company's public filings with the SEC. There is no guarantee that any of the estimates, targets or projections illustrated in these materials and any presentation of which they form a part will be achieved. Any references herein to any of the Company's past or present investments or its past or present performance, have been provided for illustrative purposes only. It should not be assumed that these investments were or will be profitable or that any future investments by the Company will be profitable or will equal the performance of these investments. Diversification of an investor's portfolio does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Opinions expressed reflect the current opinions of the Company as of the date appearing in the materials only and are based on the Company's opinions of the current market environment, which is subject to change. Certain information contained in the materials discusses general market activity, industry or sector trends, or other broad-based economic, market or political conditions and should not be construed as research or investment advice.

This presentation includes historical information and "forward-looking statements" with respect to the business and investments of NCDL, including, but not limited to, statements about NCDL's future performance and financial performance and financial condition, which involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond NCDL's control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and other factors identified in NCDL's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including changes in the financial, capital, and lending markets; changes in the interest rate environment and its impact on NCDL's business, its financial condition, and its portfolio companies; the uncertainty associated with the imposition of tariffs and trade barriers and changes in trade policy, and its impact on NCDL's portfolio companies and the general economy; general economic, political and industry trends and other external factors, and the dependence of NCDL's future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which it invests; and other risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in NCDL's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

20Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. Endnotes Note: All information is as of June 30, 2025, unless otherwise noted. Metrics presented are calculated based on fair value unless otherwise stated. Numbers may not sum due to rounding. Slide 3 2Q'25 Highlights 1 Per share net investment income ("NII"), net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, and net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations are derived from the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Refer to the Quarterly Operating Results, page 18, for weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 2 Annualized return on equity ("ROE") on net investment income is calculated based on quarterly NII divided by quarter-end net asset value. 3 Annualized ROE on net income is calculated based on the quarterly net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations divided by quarter-end net asset value. 4 Represents total investment portfolio at fair value. Total par value of debt investment commitments is $2,197M which includes approximately $201M of unfunded debt investment commitments. 5 Weighted average asset yield on debt and income producing investments, at cost and fair value, where applicable. The weighted average asset yield of the Company's debt and income producing investments is not the same as a return on investment for our shareholders but, rather, relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of fees and expenses. Actual yields over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented. The weighted average asset yield was calculated using the effective interest rates as of quarter end, including accretion of original issue discount, but excluding investments on non-accrual. Weighted average asset yield inclusive of investments on non-accrual, at cost and fair value, as of June 30, 2025 were 10.04% and 10.18%, respectively. 6 Investments are assigned an initial internal risk rating of 4.0 at origination. 7 Represents the amount available under the corporate revolver of $260M and cash and cash equivalents of $44M. 8 The net debt to equity ratio is net of cash and cash equivalents. Slide 4: Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. Overview 1 Represents total investment portfolio at fair value. Total par value of debt investment commitments is $2,197M which includes approximately $201M of unfunded debt investment commitments. 2 Represents the percentage of debt investments with one or more financial maintenance covenants. 3 Net leverage is the ratio of total debt minus cash divided by EBITDA, taking into account only the debt issued through the tranche in which the Company is a lender. Leverage is derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, and weighted by the fair value of each investment as of June 30, 2025. Net leverage presented excludes equity investments as well as debt instruments to which the Company's investment adviser has assigned an internal risk rating of 8 or higher, and any portfolio companies with net leverage of 15x or greater. 4 Weighted based on fair market value of private debt investments as of June 30, 2025 for which fair value is determined in good faith by the Company's investment adviser, as the valuation designee subject to the oversight of our board of directors, and excludes quoted assets. Amounts are weighted based on fair market value of each respective investment as of its most recent quarterly valuation, which are derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements. 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. EBITDA amounts are estimated from the most recent portfolio company financial statements, have not been independently verified by the Company and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Company makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information. 5 The interest coverage ratio calculation is derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial information received by the Company, and is a weighted average based on the fair market value of each respective first lien debt investment as of its most recent reporting to lenders. Such reporting may include assumptions regarding the impact of interest rate hedges established by borrowers to reduce their exposure to floating interest rates (resulting in a reduced hedging rate being used for the total interest expense in respect of such hedges, rather than any higher rates applicable under the documentation for such loans), even if such hedging instruments are not pledged as collateral to lenders in respect of such loans and do not secure the loans themselves. The interest rate coverage ratio excludes junior capital investments and equity co-investments, and applies solely to traditional middle market first lien loans held by the Company, which also excludes any upper middle market or other first lien loans investments that do not have financial maintenance covenants, and first lien loans that the Company's investment adviser has assigned an internal risk rating of 8 or higher, as well as any portfolio companies with net senior leverage of 15x or greater. As a result of the foregoing exclusions, the interest coverage ratio shown herein applies to 79% of our total investments, and 88% of our total first lien debt investments, in each case based upon fair value as of June 30, 2025. 6 Weighted average asset yield on debt and income producing investments, at cost and fair value, where applicable. The weighted average asset yield of the Company's debt and income producing investments is not the same as a return on investment for our shareholders but, rather, relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of fees and expenses. Actual yields over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented. The weighted average asset yield was calculated using the effective interest rates as of quarter end, including accretion of original issue discount, but excluding investments on non-accrual. Weighted average asset yield inclusive of investments on non-accrual, at cost and fair value, as of June 30, 2025 were 10.04% and 10.18%, respectively. 7 Total Annualized Distribution Yield includes the regular distribution per share and the special distribution per share (if any) divided by the NAV per share as of the respective quarter end, annualized.

Numbers may not sum due to rounding. Slide 5: Financial Highlights 1 Per share net investment income ("NII"), net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, and net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations are derived from the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Refer to the Quarterly Operating Results, page , for weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 2 Special Distributions presented represent the four special distributions of $0.10 per share declared in connection with the IPO, which is derived from NII. Special Distribution yield is the Special Distribution per share, divided by the NAV per share as of the respective quarter end, annualized. 3 Regular Distribution Yield is the regular distribution per share declared in respect of the quarter, divided by the NAV per share as of the respective quarter end, annualized. 4 Total Distribution Yield presented is the sum of the Regular Distribution per share and Supplemental Distribution per share (if any), annualized on a quarterly basis, plus Special Distributions (if any) per share. Special Distributions, other than those derived from NII, may be presented on a non-annualized basis. 5 Total debt outstanding represents the principal amount outstanding as of the period end. 6 The net debt to equity ratio is net of cash and cash equivalents. 7 Annualized return on equity ("ROE") on net investment income is calculated based on quarterly NII divided by quarter-end net asset value. 8 Annualized ROE on net income is calculated based on the quarterly net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations divided by quarter-end net asset value. Slide 6: Quarterly Investment Activity 1 Represents the total amount of cash activity for the purchase of investments and the proceeds from principal repayments and sales of investments. 2 The weighted average interest rate is calculated using the effective interest rate for floating rate and fixed rate debt investments. The effective interest rate for floating rate investments utilizes the applicable margin plus the greater of the 3-Month base rate (SOFR), or base rate floor. SOFR as of June 30, 2025 was 4.29%. The effective interest rate for fixed rate debt investments utilizes the investment coupon. Slide 7: Net Asset Value 1 The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2025. 2 The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions declared for the three months ended June 30, 2025. 3 Includes the impact of different share amounts used in calculating per share data as a result of calculating certain per share data based on weighted average shares outstanding during the period and certain per share data based on shares outstanding as of a period end or transaction date. Refer to footnotes 1 and 2. Slide 8: Dividend History 1 Regular Distribution Yield is the regular distribution per share declared in respect of the quarter, divided by the NAV per share as of the respective quarter end, annualized. 2 Total Annualized Distribution Yield includes the regular distribution per share and the special distribution per share (if any) divided by the NAV per share as of the respective quarter end, annualized. Slide 9: Portfolio Highlights 1 Represents total investment portfolio at fair value. Total par value of debt investment commitments is $2,197M which includes approximately $201M of unfunded debt investment commitments. 2 Weighted average asset yield on debt and income producing investments, at cost and fair value, where applicable. The weighted average asset yield of the Company's debt and income producing investments is not the same as a return on investment for our shareholders but, rather, relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of fees and expenses. Actual yields over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented. The weighted average asset yield was calculated using the effective interest rates as of quarter end, including accretion of original issue discount, but excluding investments on non-accrual. Weighted average asset yield inclusive of investments on non-accrual, at cost and fair value, as of June 30, 2025 were 10.04% and 10.18%, respectively. Slide 10: Investment Activity 1 New investments reported at par excludes draws on existing unfunded investment commitments and partial paydowns. 2 Average Spread is calculated based off of par amount. 3 Average Coupon is calculated based off of par amount. 4 Interest rate utilizes the average spread plus the greater of 3-Month base rate (i.e. SOFR), or base rate floor, if applicable for each respective transaction. SOFR as of 2Q'24, 3Q'24, 4Q'24, 1Q'25, and 2Q'25 was 5.32%; 4.59%, 4.31%, 4.29%, and 4.29%.
