Third Quarter 2014 Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company had comprehensive income available to common shareholders of $59.0 million, or $0.61 per weighted-average common share, as compared to $87.7 million, or $0.91 per weighted-average common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in comprehensive income available to common shareholders was largely due to unrealized losses on the Company’s mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) as interest rates rose slightly during the quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company had core earnings of $0.51 per weighted-average common share compared to $0.63 per weighted-average common share during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decline was driven primarily by lower average earning assets and a lower yield on our earning assets. The yield on our MBS dropped as a result of increased prepayment rates, along with a small decline in the yield of the Company’s TBA dollar rolls. “Core earnings” represents a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net interest margin, as adjusted for certain derivative impacts, and after deducting operating expenses and dividends on preferred stock. Management believes core earnings is additional useful information regarding the Company’s performance and an enhancement to our reporting. Management uses core earnings as a measure of the earnings power of the portfolio and uses it as an additional gauge for determining appropriate distributable income, among other things.
“Our third quarter results again illustrate the stable risk positioning and earnings potential of our portfolio,” said Michael Hough, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our hedges did their job as book value remained in a tight range throughout the quarter allowing us to generate spread income with stable equity. We used slightly lower leverage for most of the quarter but took advantage of better value late in the quarter. We continue to be committed to a tight asset/liability management plan because despite some headwinds, the economy is long into a recovery and higher short term rates are expected at some point. As a result, we think less interest rate risk is more appropriate.”
“Over the past year there has been much speculation on the impact of the Federal Reserve’s withdrawal from the mortgage securities market. The mortgage market is such that we expect very little to change absent a dramatic shift in Fed policy. Recently the financial markets have been volatile with interest rates back to the low levels of last year. While we do expect a marginal uptick in refinancings as long as mortgage rates remain low, we don’t envision a significant change to the earnings profile of our portfolio in the foreseeable future.”
Net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $49.3 million, compared to $54.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s net interest spread was slightly lower at 1.10% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 1.18% for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in net interest spread was a result of the yield on the Company’s MBS declining to 1.96% in the third quarter compared to 2.10% in the second quarter as a rise in prepayments resulted in an increase in amortization expense.
The Company’s cost of funds decreased from 0.92% to 0.86% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to the previous quarter. The Company’s average short-term financing rate increased to 0.33% in the third quarter of 2014 from 0.32% in the second quarter of 2014. The Company’s effective cost of funds, which includes certain interest rate swap adjustments, was 1.12% for the third quarter as compared to 1.09% for the second quarter. Operating expenses were relatively flat at $7.1 million in the third quarter
as compared to $7.3 million in the second quarter. The total annualized expense ratio was 1.16% of average shareholders’ equity for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 1.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Dividend
The Company declared a dividend of $0.50 per common share with respect to the quarter ended September 30, 2014, consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Based on the closing share price of $17.96 on September 30, 2014, the third quarter dividend equates to an annualized yield of 11.1%.
Portfolio
The Company’s weighted average earning assets, consisting of residential mortgage assets, primarily MBS issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, were $19.7 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $20.4 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The fair value of the Company’s earning assets as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014 is summarized below.
(Dollars in thousands) | September 30, 2014 | | | June 30, 2014 | |
| % of Earning Assets | | | Market Value | | | Wtd. Avg. Coupon | | | % of Earning Assets | | | Market Value | | | Wtd. Avg. Coupon | |
ARM securities | | 78.4 | % | | $ | 16,151,701 | | | | 2.77 | % | | | 82.6 | % | | $ | 16,191,002 | | | | 2.79 | % |
15-year fixed securities | | 3.6 | % | | | 738,723 | | | | 3.50 | % | | | 2.3 | % | | | 460,218 | | | | 3.50 | % |
15-year dollar roll TBA securities | | 18.0 | % | | | 3,703,228 | | | | 3.00 | % | | | 15.1 | % | | | 2,962,617 | | | | 3.04 | % |
| | 100.0 | % | | $ | 20,593,652 | | | | 2.84 | % | | | 100.0 | % | | $ | 19,613,837 | | | | 2.84 | % |
The annualized yield on the Company’s average ARMs and 15-year fixed securities was 1.96% for the third quarter of 2014, compared to 2.10% for the second quarter. The decrease in yield was primarily due to the increase in premium amortization as the Company’s principal repayments increased.
During the third quarter of 2014, the expense of amortizing the premium on the Company’s securities was $29.4 million, compared to $24.9 million during the second quarter. The weighted-average principal repayment rate (scheduled and unscheduled principal payments as a percentage of the weighted-average portfolio, on an annualized basis) during the third quarter of 2014 was 25.3%, compared to 20.4% during the second quarter, indicating the extent that mortgage refinancing increased. The Company’s weighted-average one-month CPR for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 19.0, as compared to 15.4 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. CPR measures unscheduled repayment rate as a percentage of principal on an annualized basis.
At September 30, 2014, the Company owned 15-year TBA securities financed in the dollar roll market with a fair value of approximately $3.7 billion, as shown in the table above. The Company accounts for TBA securities as derivative instruments and recognizes dollar roll gains and losses in other income (loss) in the Company's financial statements. As of September 30, 2014, the Company's net TBA securities had a cost basis of approximately $3.7 billion and a net carrying value of ($20.0) million reported in derivative liabilities at fair value on the Company's balance sheet. The Company uses dollar rolls as alternative financing for its 15-year fixed-rate positions.
Portfolio Financing and Leverage
At September 30, 2014, the Company financed its portfolio with approximately $14.9 billion of borrowings under repurchase agreements. The Company’s debt-to-shareholders’ equity ratio at September 30, 2014, was 6.1 to 1 compared to 6.2 to 1 at June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective leverage, which includes the effects of TBA dollar roll financing, was 7.6 to 1 at September 30, 2014 compared with 7.4 to 1 at June 30, 2014. Weighted average effective leverage in the third quarter was 7.4 to 1, down from 7.7 to 1 in the second quarter. At September 30, 2014, the Company’s repurchase agreements had a weighted-average remaining term of approximately 33 days.
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements and Eurodollar futures contracts to synthetically extend the fixed interest period of these liabilities and hedge against the interest rate risk associated with financing the Company’s portfolio. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps and Eurodollar futures contracts with effective notional amounts and rates as shown in the following table.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the Company’s results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial information. Management’s decision to present these supplemental non-GAAP measures arose largely from three developments during 2013: 1) the Company’s cessation of hedge accounting for its interest rates swaps effective September 30, 2013, 2) increased use of Eurodollar futures contracts as interest rate hedges, and 3) the Company’s use of TBA dollar rolls, which generate non-traditional investment income and embody off-balance sheet financing. These changes result in the recognition of material fair value adjustments in net income, as well as line item classifications that make it difficult to clearly explain the economics of the Company’s results and strategies without supplemental disclosures. The non-GAAP measures the Company employs include effective interest expense, effective net interest margin, core earnings, and certain financial metrics derived from non-GAAP information, such as
effective cost of funds and effective leverage. The Company uses these measures internally to assess its results and financial condition. Therefore, the Company believes that providing these measures gives users of financial information additional clarity regarding its performance and financial condition, and better enables them to see “through the eyes of management.”
These measures involve differences from results computed in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP. Further, the Company’s definition of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to its nearest directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP are included below.
Forward-Looking Statements
