Financial Summary

During the second quarter, the Company generated $62.1 million in core earnings, and the book value improved 6.9% to $19.80. This was accomplished while continuing to reposition the investment portfolio to be less interest rate sensitive. The Company made progress on its key initiatives by adding a residential loan securitization and increasing the investment in credit risk transfer securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE CRT"). Net loss after preferred dividend for the second quarter of 2014 was $95.1 million, compared to $75.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase in net loss after preferred dividend was primarily due to the change in value of the interest rate swaps recorded in income.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") portfolio was $18.2 billion, an increase of $712.6 million from March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company increased its portfolio of loans held for investment to $2.4 billion, an increase of $243.0 million from March 31, 2014. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, average earning assets were $20.0 billion, representing an increase of $609.6 million from March 31, 2014. The portfolio generated interest income of $174.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, which reflects an increase of $3.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in interest income was the result of higher average assets during the quarter and the change in portfolio composition.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company had average borrowings of approximately $17.5 billion and effective interest expense of $100.1 million, compared to $17.1 billion and $98.8 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2014. The Company's effective cost of funds was 2.28% and 2.31% for the second quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2014, respectively. The decrease in effective cost of funds was due to the full quarter impact of lower rate, forward starting swaps that began accruing during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $13.1 million, compared to $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2014. The ratio of operating expenses to average equity for the second quarter was 2.12%, which was a decrease of 3 basis points from the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower management fees after repurchasing shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2014.

The Company declared a common stock dividend of $0.50 per share for the second quarter of 2014. The dividend was paid on July 28, 2014.

The Company declared a preferred stock dividend of $0.4844 per share for the second quarter of 2014. The dividend was paid on July 25, 2014.

Exhibit 99.1

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this release contains the non-GAAP financial measures of "core earnings," "effective interest expense" (and by calculation, "effective cost of funds") and "effective net interest income (and by calculation, "effective interest rate margin"). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its internal analysis of results and believes these measures are useful to investors for the reasons explained below. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are net income attributable to common shareholders, total interest expense (and by calculation, cost of funds) and net interest income (and by calculation, net interest rate margin).

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be made in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additional reconciling items may be added to the non-GAAP measures if deemed appropriate.

The Company calculates core earnings as U.S. GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders adjusted for gain (loss) on sale of investments, net, realized gain on interest rate derivative instruments (excluding contractual net interest on interest rate swaps), unrealized loss on interest rate derivative instruments, amortization of deferred swap losses from de-designation and adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest.

The Company believes the presentation of core earnings allows investors to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company to that of its peers because core earnings measures investment portfolio performance over multiple reporting periods by removing realized and unrealized gains and losses. The Company records changes in the valuation of its investment portfolio, and through December 31, 2013 certain interest rate swaps, in other comprehensive income. Effective December 31, 2013, the Company elected to discontinue hedge accounting for its interest rate swaps. As a result of its election, starting January 1, 2014, the change in market value of its interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred swap losses remaining in other comprehensive income at December 31, 2013 are included in U.S. GAAP net income. In addition, the Company uses swaptions, invests in to-be-announced securities and U.S. Treasury futures that do not qualify under U.S. GAAP for inclusion in other comprehensive income, and, as such, the changes in valuation are recorded in the period in which they occur. For internal portfolio analysis, the Company’s management deducts these gains and losses from U.S. GAAP net income to provide a consistent view of investment portfolio performance across reporting periods. As such, the Company believes that the disclosure of core earnings is useful and meaningful to its investors.

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 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.

Effective interest expense, effective cost of funds, effective net interest income and effective interest rate margin include adjustments for the net interest component related to the Company's interest rate swaps and excludes amortization of deferred swap losses from de-designation. Although, as of January 1, 2014 the Company has elected to discontinue hedge accounting for its interest rate swaps, such derivative instruments are viewed by the Company as an economic hedge against increases in future market interest rates on its liabilities and therefore the effective cost of funds reflects interest expense adjusted to include the realized loss (i.e., the interest expense component) for all of its interest rate swaps and add back the unrealized loss from swap losses that were previously recorded in other comprehensive income and is being amortized into interest expense over the remaining swap lives. In addition, the Company views the cost of the associated repurchase agreements (interest expense), borrowing costs on its exchangeable senior notes, and borrowing costs on its asset-backed securities as a component of its effective cost of funds.

Exhibit 99.1

The Company believes the presentation of effective interest expense, effective costs 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, as viewed by the Company.

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

(4) Beginning June 10, 2013, regulations promulgated under The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act mandate that the Company clear new interest rate swap transactions through a central counterparty. Transactions that are centrally cleared result in the Company facing a clearing house, rather than a swap dealer, as counterparty. Central clearing requires the Company to post collateral in the form of initial and variation margin to the clearing house which reduces default risk.

* Average amounts for each period are based on weighted month-end balances; all percentages are annualized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the average balances are presented on an amortized cost basis.

(1) Non-Agency RMBS average balance excludes securities of $26.0 million for a future securitization not yet settled.

(2) Average portfolio yield for the period was calculated by dividing interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, by the Company's average of the amortized cost of the investments. All yields are annualized.

(3) CMBS average borrowing and cost of funds include borrowings under repurchase agreements and secured loans.

(4) Amount represents the maximum borrowings at month-end during each of the respective periods.

(5) Average cost of funds is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense by the Company's average borrowings.

(6) Excludes amortization of deferred swap losses from de-designation.

(7) Average equity is calculated based on a weighted balance basis.
