Subsequent Developments:
The Company announced today that it had begun
the process to internalize the management of its distressed
residential loan strategy as part of an effort to expand its
capabilities in self managing, sourcing and creating single family
residential credit assets. The Company has recently hired ten
investment professionals to build and expand its single family
residential credit asset platform. The Company expects
that the single family residential credit team will ultimately be
comprised of 15 to 20 professionals in total. The Company believes
the internalization of the management of the distressed residential
loans, as well as expanded capabilities in sourcing and originating
will strengthen the Company’s ability to capitalize on future
credit investment opportunities.
In connection with the internalization, the
Company notified Headlands Asset Management, the external manager
of its distressed residential loan portfolio, that it will allow
its management agreement with the manager to expire on June 30,
2019. This represents a continuation of steps taken in
recent years by the Company to fully internalize its investment
portfolio management. In May 2016, the Company announced the
internalization of its multi-family credit investment platform
through the acquisition of RiverBanc LLC. During the second
quarter, the Company completely exited out of its Agency IO
strategy, which had been managed externally prior to January 1,
2018.
Management Overview
Steven Mumma, NYMT’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
commented: "The Company delivered another quarter of stable
earnings and book value, with GAAP EPS of $0.21 per common share
and book value at $5.76, down $0.03 from the previous quarter.
Multi-Family continued to be the significant contributor during the
quarter, with both net interest income and unrealized gains
increasing from the prior quarter. The Company was opportunistic in
raising capital through its at-the-market equity offering program
raising approximately $73.8 million during the quarter, resulting
in $0.03 accretion to overall book value.
As the Company has grown in recent years, we
have taken steps to internalize the investment management of our
various investment portfolios. In May 2016, we acquired our
external manager for our multi-family credit investments and during
the quarter, we exited our Agency IO portfolio, which had been
externally managed. We are pleased to announce that we have begun
the process to internalize the management of our distressed
residential loan strategy. As part of an effort to expand our
capabilities in self managing, sourcing and creating single family
residential credit assets, we have added ten investment
professionals to our single family residential credit investment
team.
In connection with this internalization, we
provided Headlands notice that we intend to cause our management
agreement with them to expire when its term ends in June
2019. Headlands has been a valued and trusted partner and
advisor to us since 2010 and we are grateful for their many
contributions to our growth.
We believe that internalization of all our
credit investing functions, including both multi-family and single
family residential, will strengthen the Company's ability to
identify and secure future investment opportunities in this key
strategic area."

Second Quarter Earnings Summary
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we
reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $23.8
million as compared to $23.7 million in the quarter ended March 31,
2018.
We generated net interest income of $17.5
million and a portfolio net interest margin of 239 basis points for
the quarter ended June 30, 2018 as compared to net interest
income of $19.8 million and a portfolio net interest margin of 286
basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The $2.3
million decrease in net interest income in the second quarter was
primarily due to lower net interest income generated by our
distressed residential portfolio. Our distressed residential
portfolio experienced a decrease in asset yield of 174 basis points
and an increase in cost of funds of 42 basis points, which resulted
in a decline in net interest margin of $2.4 million in this
portfolio as compared to the prior quarter. The decline in
net interest margin in the Company's distressed residential
portfolio is mainly attributable to changes in expected cash flows
resulting from greater loan sale activity in the second quarter as
compared to the first quarter of 2018.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we
recognized other income of $20.0 million as compared to other
income of $21.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
The change in other income is primarily comprised of the
following:
- An increase in net unrealized gains on multi-family loans and
debt held in securitization trusts of $4.5 million.
- An increase in realized gains on residential mortgage loans,
including distressed residential mortgage loans of $3.1
million.
- An increase in net realized loss on investment securities and
related hedges of $5.2 million resulting from the final liquidation
of our Agency IO portfolio, partially offset by an increase in
unrealized loss recovery of $4.7 million previously recognized on
these assets and included in the net unrealized gain on investment
securities and related hedges as discussed below.
- An increase in net unrealized gain on investment securities and
related hedges of $0.9 million primarily consisting of a $4.7
million increase in gain from our Agency IO portfolio offset by a
$3.8 million increase in unrealized loss from our interest rate
swaps accounted for as trading instruments for accounting
purposes.
- A decrease in other income of $3.8 million, which is due to a
$2.1 million impairment loss recognized on the real estate
development property owned through the Company's 50% interest in an
entity that owns and develops land and residential homes in Kiawah
Island, SC. The Company's $2.1 million impairment loss is
partially offset by the $1.0 million non-controlling interest share
of the loss. In addition, the first quarter activity included a
$2.3 million gain recognized by a consolidated variable interest
entity from the sale of its multi-family apartment property in
March 2018.

administrative expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2018
and March 31, 2018 respectively (dollar amounts in thousands):

quarter.

expenses related to our distressed residential mortgage loans and
the operating real estate and real estate held for sale in

sale in consolidated variable interest entities due to the sale of
a multi-family apartment property in the prior quarter.

required to consolidate the Consolidated K-Series’ underlying
multi-family loans including their liabilities, income and expenses
in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have elected
the fair value option on the assets and liabilities held within the
Consolidated K-Series, which requires that changes in valuations in

operations.

Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this press release, in future
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or in
other written or oral communications, statements which are not
historical in nature, including those containing words such as
“believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,”
“intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “goal,” “objective,” “will,”
“may” or similar expressions, are intended to identify
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), and,
as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
assumptions.
Forward-looking statements are based on the
Company’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of its future
performance, taking into account all information currently
available to it. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are
subject to risks and uncertainties and can change as a result of
many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to the
Company. If a change occurs, the Company’s business, financial
condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially
from those expressed in its forward-looking statements. The
following factors are examples of those that could cause actual
results to vary from the Company’s forward-looking statements:
changes in interest rates and the market value of the Company’s
investments; changes in credit spreads; changes in the long-term
credit ratings of the U.S., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie
Mae; market volatility; changes in the prepayment rates on the
mortgage loans underlying the Company’s investment securities;
increased rates of default and/or decreased recovery rates on the
Company's assets; delays in identifying and acquiring the Company’s
targeted assets; the Company’s ability to borrow to finance its
assets and the terms thereof; changes in governmental laws,
regulations or policies affecting the Company’s business; the
Company’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT for
federal tax purposes; the Company’s ability to maintain its
exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended; and risks associated with investing in real
estate assets, including changes in business conditions and the
general economy. These and other risks, uncertainties and factors,
including the risk factors described in the Company’s reports filed
with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, could cause the
Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected
in any forward-looking statements it makes. All forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. New
risks and uncertainties arise over time and it is not possible to
predict those events or how they may affect the Company. Except as
required by law, the Company is not obligated to, and does not
intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
