NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 28, 2009--Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE: NLY) today reported Core Earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, of $413.3 million or $0.75 per average share available to common shareholders as compared to Core Earnings of $335.0 million or $0.61 per average share available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and Core Earnings of $364.5 million or $0.66 per average share available to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. “Core Earnings” represents a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) excluding impairment losses, gains or losses on sales of securities and termination of interest rate swaps and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps. On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, was $285.2 million or $0.51 per average share available to common shareholders, as compared to net income of $302.1 million or $0.55 per average share available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and net income of $597.1 million or $1.09 per average share related to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company sold $194.3 million of Mortgage-Backed Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $591,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company sold $4.8 billion of Mortgage-Backed Securities, resulting in a realized loss of $1.1 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company sold $524.2 million of Mortgage-Backed Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $2.4 million.
Common dividends declared for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, were $0.69 per share, as compared to $0.55 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and $0.60 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The annualized dividend yield on the Company’s common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, based on the September 30, 2009 closing price of $18.14, was 15.21%. On a Core Earnings basis, the Company provided an annualized return on average equity of 18.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 18.55% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and 17.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. On a GAAP basis, the Company provided an annualized return on average equity of 12.60% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, as compared to an annualized return on average equity of 16.73% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and an annualized return on average equity of 28.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Michael A.J. Farrell, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Annaly, commented on the Company’s results. “Our management team remains focused on the core elements of what we do—managing all facets of interest rate risk in Annaly’s portfolio of Agency Mortgage-Backed securities and building shareholder value in our subsidiaries. I believe that we are positioning our company for a wide range of possible outcomes in the evolving market and government policy environment.”
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the annualized yield on average earning assets was 4.89% and the annualized cost of funds on the average repurchase balance 2.24%, which resulted in an average interest rate spread of 2.65%. This is a 57 basis point increase over the 2.08% annualized interest rate spread for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and an 18 basis point increase over the 2.47% annualized interest rate spread for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, the weighted average yield on assets was 4.55% and the weighted average cost of funds, including the effect of interest rate swaps, was 2.15%, which resulted in an interest rate spread of 2.40%. Leverage at September 30, 2009, was 6.0:1 compared to 7.2:1 at September 30, 2008, and 5.9:1 at June 30, 2009.
Fixed-rate securities comprised 71% of the Company’s portfolio at September 30, 2009. The balance of the portfolio was comprised of 24% adjustable-rate mortgages and 5% LIBOR floating-rate collateralized mortgage obligations. At September 30, 2009, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $20.6 billion, or 32% of the portfolio. The purpose of the swaps is to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates that affect the Company’s cost of funds. Since the Company receives a floating rate on the notional amount of the swaps, the effect of the swaps is to lock in a spread relative to the cost of financing. As of September 30, 2009, all of the Company’s Investment Securities were Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed securities, which carry an actual or implied “AAA” rating.
“The driver of return in our portfolio continues to be the widening of the spread between the yield on our assets and the cost to finance those assets,” said Wellington Denahan-Norris, Annaly’s Vice Chairman, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer. “Contributing to this spread widening are the continuation of relatively slow prepayment speeds and the rolling of our swap book into a lower rate environment. We are comfortable with our leverage at period-end, and continually monitor the market for investment opportunities in the current environment, which remain attractive. After taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, at September 30, 2009, our portfolio of Investment Securities was comprised of 37% floating-rate, 24% adjustable-rate and 39% fixed-rate assets.”

| | (1) | | Although the Company has the intent and ability to retain its investment in Chimera Investment Corporation, the Company determined that it is appropriate to recognize an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $31.8 million. Recognition of such impairment charges does not reduce the taxable income of the Company. The non-cash charge is the difference between the purchase price for the shares and their fair value at September 30, 2008. |
| | | | |
| | (2) | | Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company no longer applies hedge accounting to its interest rate swaps under SFAS 133. As a result, changes in unrealized gains and losses in interest rate swaps are reported in the income statement for GAAP purposes. |
