“Chimera had a very active start to 2017. We sponsored four
residential mortgage securitizations totaling $4.1 billion and
issued $325 million of Series B preferred stock,” said Matthew
Lambiase, Chimera’s CEO and President. “The activity in the first
quarter positioned us to grow our balance sheet, create value
through four new securitizations and make accretive investments for
our common shareholders.”
“The timing of our new capital deployment and securitization
deal expenses reduced core earnings for the first quarter. We
expect to see the full benefit of these new investments in the
second quarter 2017.” said Rob Colligan, Chimera’s CFO.
(1) Core earnings is a non-GAAP measure. See additional discussion

Core earnings
Core earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as GAAP net
income excluding unrealized gains on the aggregate portfolio,
impairment losses, realized gains on sales of investments, realized
gains or losses on futures, realized gains or losses on swap
terminations, gain on deconsolidation, extinguishment of debt and
certain other non-recurring gains or losses. As defined, core
earnings include interest income and expense as well as realized
losses on interest rate swaps used to hedge interest rate risk.
Management believes that the presentation of core earnings is
useful to investors because it can provide a useful measure of
comparability to our other REIT peers, but has important
limitations. We believe core earnings as described above helps
evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain
transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool.
Therefore, core earnings should not be viewed in isolation and is
not a substitute for net income or net income per basic share
computed in accordance with GAAP.
The following table provides GAAP measures of net income and net
income per basic share available to common stockholders for the
periods presented and details with respect to reconciling the line
items to core earnings and related per average basic common share

Economic Net Interest Income
Our “Economic net interest income” is a non-GAAP financial
measure, that equals interest income, less interest expense and
realized losses on our interest rate swaps. Realized losses on our
interest rate swaps are the periodic net settlement payments made
or received. For the purpose of computing economic net interest
income and ratios relating to cost of funds measures throughout
this section, interest expense includes net payments on our
interest rate swaps, which is presented as a part of Realized gains
(losses) on derivatives in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Comprehensive Income. Interest rate swaps are used
to manage the increase in interest paid on repurchase agreements in
a rising rate environment. Presenting the net contractual interest
payments on interest rate swaps with the interest paid on
interest-bearing liabilities reflects our total contractual
interest payments. We believe this presentation is useful to
investors because it depicts the economic value of our investment
strategy by showing actual interest expense and net interest
income. Where indicated, interest expense, including interest
payments on interest rate swaps, is referred to as economic
interest expense. Where indicated, net interest income reflecting
interest payments on interest rate swaps, is referred to as
economic net interest income.
The following table reconciles the GAAP and non-GAAP
measurements reflected in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
