Financial Summary

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $137.4 million, compared to $49.1 million for the third quarter. The improvement in the fourth quarter was primarily due to a $64.3 million net gain on derivative instruments versus a $2.0 million net gain in the third quarter. Book value per diluted common share as of December 31, 2017 was $18.35 compared to $18.34 as of September 30, 2017.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company generated $52.5 million in core earnings compared to $49.1 million in the third quarter. Higher core earnings reflect the full quarter accretive impact of the Company's August 2017 Preferred C stock offering. Fully invested proceeds of the offering drove a $7.5 million increase in effective net interest income that was partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in preferred dividends and $0.6 million increase in management fees associated with the offering.

The Company had average earning assets of $18.3 billion and interest income of $153.0 million in the fourth quarter compared to average earning assets of $17.4 billion and interest income of $140.4 million during the third quarter.  During the fourth quarter, the Company primarily used proceeds from paydowns and sales of investments to purchase 30 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS and CMBS and to repay debt. Average earning asset yields rose from 3.22% in the third quarter to 3.34% in the fourth quarter reflecting higher yields on 30 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS and CMBS.  As of December 31, 2017, the Company's holdings of 30 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS represented 42% of our total investment portfolio compared to 40% at September 30, 2017 and 20% at December 31, 2016.  The Company has increased its allocation of equity to Agency RMBS to 45% as of December 31, 2017 from 41% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, as returns on Agency RMBS continue to be attractive compared to credit assets.

The Company increased its average borrowings by $0.7 billion in the fourth quarter, resulting in average borrowings of $15.9 billion and total interest expense of $59.9 million in the fourth quarter compared to average borrowings of $15.2 billion and total interest expense of $54.2 million during the third quarter. The Company's cost of funds was 1.51% and 1.43% for the fourth quarter and third quarter, respectively.  The Company's cost of funds rose during the fourth quarter primarily due to higher repurchase agreement borrowing rates leading up to the December 2017 increase in the Federal Funds target rate.

The Company held its debt-to-equity ratio constant at 6.0x in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company retired an additional $14.4 million of its Exchangeable Senior Notes (the "Notes") during the fourth quarter and has reduced the balance of Notes outstanding to $143.4 million as of December 31, 2017.   The Company has sufficient liquidity through available cash and cash equivalents and additional borrowing capacity through repurchase agreements to retire the Notes when they mature on March 15, 2018.

Total expenses for the fourth quarter were approximately $12.0 million compared to $11.3 million for the third quarter. Total expenses were higher in the fourth quarter primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in management fees associated with the Company's August 2017 offering of Preferred C stock. The ratio of annualized total expenses to average equity* for the fourth quarter was 2.17%.

As previously announced, the Company declared the following dividends on December 14, 2017: a common stock dividend of $0.42 per share paid on January 26, 2018 and a Series A preferred stock dividend of $0.4844 per share paid on January 25, 2018. The Company declared the following dividends on its Series B and Series C Preferred Stock on February 15, 2018 to its stockholders of record as of March 5, 2018:  a Series B Preferred Stock dividend of $0.4844 per share payable on March 27, 2018 and a Series C Preferred Stock dividend of $0.46875 per share payable on March 27, 2018.

*The ratio of annualized total expenses to average equity is calculated as the annualized sum of management fees plus general and administrative expenses divided by average equity. Average equity is calculated based on weighted month-end balance of total equity excluding equity attributable to preferred stockholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating results and believes these financial measures are useful to investors in assessing the Company's performance as further discussed below:

  • core earnings (and by calculation, core earnings per common share),
  • effective interest income (and by calculation, effective yield),
  • effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds),
  • effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin), and
  • repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio.

The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are:

  • net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (and by calculation, basic earnings (loss) per common share),
  • total interest income (and by calculation, earning asset yield),
  • total interest expense (and by calculation, cost of funds),
  • net interest income (and by calculation, net interest rate margin), and
  • debt-to-equity ratio.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company's management should be analyzed in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be considered substitutes for U.S. GAAP financial measures.  In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of its peer companies.

Core Earnings

The Company calculates core earnings as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted for (gain) loss on investments, net; realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net; unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net; realized and unrealized (gain) loss on GSE CRT embedded derivatives, net; (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, net; amortization of net deferred (gain) loss on de-designated interest rate swaps; net loss on extinguishment of debt; and cumulative adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest. The Company may add and has added additional reconciling items to its core earnings calculation as appropriate.

The Company believes the presentation of core earnings provides a consistent measure of operating performance by excluding the impact of gains and losses described above from operating results. The Company excludes the impact of gains and losses because gains and losses are not accounted for consistently under U.S. GAAP.  Under U.S. GAAP, certain gains and losses are reflected in net income whereas other gains and losses are reflected in other comprehensive income.  For example, the majority of the Company's mortgage-backed securities are classified as available-for-sale securities, and changes in the valuation of these securities are recorded in other comprehensive income on its consolidated balance sheet.  The Company elected the fair value option for its mortgage-backed securities purchased on or after September 1, 2016, and changes in the valuation of these securities are recorded in other income (loss) in the consolidated statement of operations.  In addition, certain gains and losses represent one-time events.

The Company believes that providing transparency into core earnings enables its investors to consistently measure, evaluate and compare its operating performance to that of its peers over multiple reporting periods. However, the Company cautions that core earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), or as an indication of the Company's cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), a measure of the Company's liquidity, or an indication of amounts available to fund its cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.

The table below provides a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders to core earnings for the following periods:

Cumulative dividends are charged to retained earnings when declared or earned under U.S. GAAP. The Company has historically declared quarterly dividends on Series B Preferred Stock prior to dividends accumulating.  As of September 14, 2017, the Company declared cumulative dividends on Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance through December 26, 2017.  In December 2017, the Company deferred declaring its next dividend on Series B Preferred Stock to February 2018.  Due to the change in declaration date, the Company recorded $9.1 million in Series B Preferred Stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company reduced core earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2017 for the cumulative impact of deferring the declaration date to February 2018 because the Company considers all dividends accumulated during a quarter a current component of its capital costs regardless of the dividend declaration date.



(6)

On September 14, 2017, the Company declared a dividend on Series C Preferred Stock that covers the period from the date of issuance, August 16, 2017, to but not including the dividend payment date, December 27, 2017.  The Company increased core earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 for the portion of the dividend from October 1, 2017 through December 26, 2017 because the Company did not consider the future unaccumulated portion of the dividend a current component of its capital costs.  The Company decreased core earnings for this portion of the dividend for the three months ended December 31, 2017.



(7)

Core earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is equal to core earnings divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Effective Interest Income/ Effective Yield/ Effective Interest Expense/Effective Cost of Funds/Effective Net Interest Income/Effective Interest Rate Margin

The Company calculates effective interest income (and by calculation, effective yield) as U.S. GAAP total interest income adjusted for GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest that is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net. The Company includes its GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest in effective interest income because GSE CRT coupon interest is not accounted for consistently under U.S. GAAP. The Company accounts for GSE CRTs purchased prior to August 24, 2015 as hybrid financial instruments, but has elected the fair value option for GSE CRTs purchased on or after August 24, 2015. Under U.S. GAAP, coupon interest on GSE CRTs accounted for using the fair value option is recorded as interest income, whereas coupon interest on GSE CRTs accounted for as hybrid financial instruments is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss). The Company adds back GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest to its total interest income because the Company considers GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest a current component of its total interest income irrespective of whether the Company has elected the fair value option for the GSE CRT or accounted for the GSE CRT as a hybrid financial instrument.

The Company calculates effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds) as U.S. GAAP total interest expense adjusted for contractual net interest expense on its interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net and the amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps that is recorded as repurchase agreements interest expense. The Company views its interest rate swaps as an economic hedge against increases in future market interest rates on its floating rate borrowings. The Company adds back the net payments it makes on its interest rate swap agreements to its total U.S. GAAP interest expense because the Company uses interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense. The Company excludes the amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps from its calculation of effective interest expense because the Company does not consider the amortization a current component of its borrowing costs.

The Company calculates effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin) as U.S. GAAP net interest income adjusted for contractual net interest expense on its interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps that is recorded as repurchase agreements interest expense and GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest that is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net.

The Company believes the presentation of effective interest income, effective yield, effective interest expense, effective cost of funds, effective net interest income and effective interest rate margin measures, when considered together with U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding the Company's borrowing costs and operating performance.

Repurchase Agreement Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The following tables show the allocation of the Company's equity to its target assets, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio, and the Company's repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017.  The Company's debt-to-equity ratio is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is the ratio of total debt (sum of repurchase agreements, secured loans and exchangeable senior notes) to total equity.  The Company presents a repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure of leverage, because the mortgage REIT industry primarily uses repurchase agreements, which typically mature within one year, to finance investments. The Company believes presenting the Company's repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio when considered together with its U.S. GAAP financial measure of debt-to-equity ratio, provides information that is useful to investors in understanding the Company's refinancing risks, and gives investors a comparable statistic to those other mortgage REITs who almost exclusively borrow using short-term repurchase agreements that are subject to refinancing risk.
