(1)
At March 31, 2017, there were outstanding repurchase agreement balances of $63.8 million and $33.6 million secured by IO and IIO securities, respectively.  We entered into these arrangements to generate additional cash to invest in PT RMBS; therefore, we have not considered these balances to be allocated to the structured securities strategy.
(2)
At December 31, 2016, there were outstanding repurchase agreement balances of $33.3 million and $45.5 million secured by IO and IIO securities, respectively.  We entered into these arrangements to generate additional cash to invest in PT RMBS; therefore, we have not considered these balances to be allocated to the structured securities strategy.

Effective duration of 3.495 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.495% decrease in the value of the RMBS in the Company's investment portfolio at March 31, 2017.  An effective duration of 4.579 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 4.579% decrease in the value of the RMBS in the Company's investment portfolio at December 31, 2016. These figures include the structured securities in the portfolio, but do not include the effect of the Company's funding cost hedges.  Effective duration quotes for individual investments are obtained from The Yield Book, Inc.

 
 

Financing, Leverage and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding repurchase obligations of approximately $3,050.6 million with a net weighted average borrowing rate of 1.01%.  These agreements were collateralized by RMBS with a fair value, including accrued interest, of approximately $3,244.3 million and cash pledged to counterparties of approximately $4.4 million. The Company's leverage ratio at March 31, 2017 was 9.2 to 1. At March 31, 2017, the Company's liquidity was approximately $125.3 million, consisting of unpledged RMBS (excluding the value of the unsettled purchases) and cash and cash equivalents.  To enhance our liquidity even further, we may pledge more of our structured RMBS as part of a repurchase agreement funding, but retain the cash in lieu of acquiring additional assets.  In this way we can, at a modest cost, retain higher levels of cash on hand and decrease the likelihood we will have to sell assets in a distressed market in order to raise cash.  Below is a listing of outstanding borrowings under repurchase obligations at March 31, 2017.

Hedging

In connection with its interest rate risk management strategy, the Company economically hedges a portion of the cost of its repurchase agreement funding against a rise in interest rates by entering into derivative financial instrument contracts.  The Company has not elected hedging treatment under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in order to align the accounting treatment of its derivative instruments with the treatment of its portfolio assets under the fair value option election. As such, all gains or losses on these instruments are reflected in earnings for all periods presented.  At March 31, 2017, such instruments were comprised of Eurodollar and Treasury note ("T-Note") futures contracts and interest rate swap agreements.

The table below presents information related to the Company's Eurodollar and T-Note futures contracts at March 31, 2017.

Orchid completed its Initial Public Offering, or IPO, in February 2013.  We have elected to start our comparison beginning with Orchid's first full operating quarter, which was the second quarter of 2013. The Orchid IPO price was $15.00 per share on February 13, 2013, and Orchid paid its first dividend of $0.135 per share in March 2013.  The book value per share at March 31, 2013 was $14.98.
(5)
As of April 27, 2017, earnings data for the first quarter of 2017 was not available for all companies included in the peer average calculation.



Book Value Per Share

The Company's book value per share at March 31, 2017 was $9.75.  The Company computes book value per share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of shares outstanding of the Company's common stock. At March 31, 2017, the Company's stockholders' equity was $334.2 million with 34,270,126 shares of common stock outstanding.

Stock Offerings

On February 23, 2017, Orchid entered into a fifth equity distribution agreement (the "February 2017 Equity Distribution Agreement") with two sales agents pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $125,000,000 of shares of the Company's common stock in transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" offerings and privately negotiated transactions.  The February 2017 Equity Distribution Agreement replaced the July 2016 Equity Distribution Agreement. Through March 31, 2017, the Company issued a total of 1,286,196 shares under the February 2017 Equity Distribution Agreement for aggregate proceeds of approximately $12.8 million, net of commissions and fees. After March 31, 2017, the Company issued an additional 594,784 shares under the February 2017 Equity Distribution Agreement for aggregate proceeds of approximately $6.0 million, net of commissions and fees.

Management Commentary

As the year 2017 unfolded, risk markets and particularly the equity markets were buoyed by optimism stemming from developments in Washington generated by the incoming Trump administration.  The President-elect made every effort to let the world and markets know that a Trump administration was going to be very pro-business, and pursue an aggressive legislative agenda that encompassed health-care reform, tax reform, infrastructure projects and regulatory relief. As various cabinet nominations were announced, most of which were from the business world, and the new President continuously met with leaders of most major industries, the equity and risk markets continued to rally, setting new all-time highs in the case of the Dow Industrials and S&P 500 in early March.  Optimism was so high that when the Federal Reserve raised the Fed Funds Rate by 25 bps at their March meeting the markets reacted calmly. By quarter end, the treasury curve in the US was close to unchanged from year end 2016 levels.  The 10-year point of the curve was less than 5 bps lower in yield and short rates were slightly higher – approximately 6.5 bps in the case of the 2 year note and just over 30 bps in the case of the 1 month bill.

Various members of the Federal Open Market Committee and Fed governors have increasingly discussed the reduction of the Fed's balance sheet as the next phase of the removal of monetary accommodation, in addition to increasing the Fed Funds Rate.  Members of the Fed have indicated that this reduction in the Fed's balance sheet would be accomplished by tapering the reinvestment of the paydowns they receive on its MBS holdings and maturities of the treasury and agency debt holdings. The market, particularly the MBS market, is keenly focused on the timing and extent of a reduction in Fed purchases. The prospect of the largest source of demand for agency MBS reducing its purchases has caused agency MBS assets to cheapen to comparable duration treasuries.  Further, the flattening of the US treasury yield curve described above also negatively impacted MBS asset valuations, as the prospects for net interest income from owning the assets diminished.  Prepayment speeds moderated during the quarter with the combination of the typical seasonal slowdown coupled with substantially higher mortgage rates versus levels prior to the election.  Prepayment speeds appear to have hit their trough in February – based on the report released in March – before picking up again slightly in March – based on the report released in April.



These developments in the rates and MBS markets caused both our PT RMBS and structured RMBS to incur mark to market losses for the quarter.  In the case of structured RMBS, both IO and IIO securities had negative mark to market losses.  However, these mark to market losses were not enough to prevent all three asset types from generating positive returns for the quarter. The flattening of the treasury yield curve resulted in negative mark to market losses on our Euro Dollar positions as well as our 10-year treasury note futures position.  The total realized and unrealized losses for the quarter – on assets as well as hedge positions - was ($20.7) million, or ($0.63) per common share.  Due to slower prepayment rates, changes in the mix of IO's in the portfolio and slightly higher leverage the portfolio generated increased net interest income versus the prior quarter.  We executed several trades to reposition the portfolio slightly which resulted in a slightly higher weighted average coupon and slightly lower weighted average purchase price. We increased our capital allocation to structured RMBS in the first quarter and added better up rate protection as well.  These changes, in conjunction with changes to our TBA shorts, where we lowered the weighted average coupon of the short position, allowed us to increase our leverage slightly while maintaining what we believe to be a similar risk profile to interest rate shocks.

The early days of the second quarter of 2017 have been quite volatile.  The 10-year T-Note rallied approximately 40 bps from March 13, 2017 through April 18, 2017.  This was caused by a combination of geo-political events, softer economic data and a lack of progress by the Trump administration on its legislative agenda.  The market has since reversed some of this move. However, it is unclear which direction the markets will go from here.  The success or failure of the Trump administration with its legislative agenda will play a key role in determining this outcome, as will the incoming economic data.

 GAAP to Non GAAP Reconciliation  In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, our results of operations discussed below include certain non-GAAP financial information, including “Net Income Excluding Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses”Net Income Excluding Realized and Unrealized Gains and LossesWe have elected the fair value option for all of our MBS assets and have not elected to designate our derivative holdings for hedge accounting treatment under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in fair value of these instruments are presented in a separate line item in our consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, we mark all of our MBS assets and hedge instruments to market every reporting period. With the volatility that occurs in markets every quarter, the market value of these assets and hedge instruments varies as well. These fluctuations in value are reported in our statement of operations every period. We have presented the results of our operations in the tables below with and without these realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the calculation of net income/(loss). We believe that net income excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses provides meaningful information to consider, in addition to the respective amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP measure helps management to evaluate its financial position and performance without the effects of these realized and unrealized gains and losses that are not necessarily indicative of our financial performance. The unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments and MBS assets presented in our consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily representative of the ultimate gain or loss, if any, that we may realize in the future. This is because as interest rates move up or down in the future, the gains or losses we ultimately realize, and which will affect our net income for the then current period, may differ from the unrealized gains or losses recognized as of the reporting date. With respect to realized gains and losses, the application of the fair value method of accounting may cause users of our financial statements to conclude that the realized gains or losses in a given period are indicative of the gains and losses incurred from the date we purchased the assets or hedge instruments. This is not the case, as the fair value method of accounting requires us to report gains and losses based on the movement in the market value of the instrument in question since the beginning of the period only.Our presentation of net income excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses has important limitations. First, other market participants may use the available for sale method of accounting for their MBS assets. Under the available for sale method of accounting, fluctuation in the value of MBS assets are reflected in other comprehensive income, a component of the shareholders equity section of the balance sheet. Second, while we believe that the calculation of net income excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses described above helps to present our financial position and performance, it may be of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, net income excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP.The table below on page 14 presents a reconciliation of the adjustments to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP for the first quarter of 2017.  3
