Dividend
On September 14, 2018, the Company declared a quarterly common
stock dividend of $0.14 per share for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2018. Based upon the closing price of $4.63 on
September 28, 2018, the annualized dividend yield on the Company’s
common stock at September 30, 2018 was 12.1%.
Book Value per Common Share
At September 30, 2018, the Company’s book value was $5.12 per
share of common stock, which was a decrease of $0.21 from the book
value of $5.33 for the prior quarter.
The $0.14 quarterly dividend, less the decrease in book value of
$0.21, resulted in a negative return on book value per common share
of (1.3)% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Subsequent Events
Effective October 1, 2018, the conversion rate of our Series B
Preferred Stock increased from 5.1021 shares of our common stock to
5.1740 shares of our common stock, based upon the common stock
dividend of $0.14 that was declared on September 14, 2018.
On October 29, 2018, we acquired an aggregate of approximately
$13 million of Non-QM residential mortgage loans that are scheduled
to close on November 30, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Related to Operating
Results
In addition to the Company’s operating results presented in
accordance with GAAP, the following tables include the following
non-GAAP financial measures: core earnings (including per common
share), total interest income, and average asset yield, including
TBA dollar roll income, paydown expense on Agency MBS, and
effective total interest expense and effective cost of funds. The
first table below reconciles the Company’s “net income to common
stockholders” for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to
“core earnings” for the same period. Core earnings represents “net
income to common stockholders” (which is the nearest comparable
GAAP measure), adjusted for the items shown in the table below. The
second table below reconciles the Company’s total interest and
other income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 (which
is the nearest comparable GAAP measure) to the total interest
income and average asset yield, including TBA dollar roll income
and paydown expense on Agency MBS, and shows the annualized amounts
as a percentage of the Company’s average earning assets and also
reconciles the Company’s total interest expense (which is the
nearest comparable GAAP measure) to the effective total interest
expense and effective cost of funds and shows the annualized
amounts as a percentage of the Company’s average borrowings.
The Company’s management believes that:
- these non-GAAP financial measures are
useful because they provide investors with greater transparency to
the information that the Company uses in its financial and
operational decision-making process;
- the inclusion of paydown expense on
Agency MBS is more indicative of the current earnings potential of
the Company’s investment portfolio, as it reflects the actual
principal paydowns which occurred during the period. Paydown
expense on Agency MBS is not dependent on future assumptions on
prepayments or the cumulative effect from prior periods of any
current changes to those assumptions, as is the case with the GAAP
measure, “Premium amortization on MBS”;
- the adjustment for an impairment charge
on Non-Agency MBS is more reflective of current core earnings, as
this charge represents future loss expectations;
- the adjustment for depreciation expense
on residential rental properties is a non-cash item and is added
back by other companies to derive core earnings or funds from
operations; and
- the presentation of these measures,
when analyzed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP operating
results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate the
Company’s performance to that of its peers, particularly those that
have discontinued hedge accounting and those that have used similar
portfolio and derivative strategies.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a
substitute for the Company’s operating results for the three months
ended September 30, 2018. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial
measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in
accordance with GAAP.

(1) Impairment charge on Non-Agency MBS represents the
amount applied against current GAAP earnings when future loss
expectations exceed previously existing loss expectations. When
future loss expectations become less than previously existing loss
expectations, the difference would be amortized into earnings over
the life of the security. (2) Net settlements on interest rate
swaps after de-designation include all subsequent net payments made
or received on interest rate swaps which were de-designated as
hedges in August 2014 and also on any new interest rate swaps
entered into after that date. These amounts are recorded in “Gain
on interest rate swaps, net.” (3) Dollar roll income on TBA Agency
MBS is the income resulting from the price discount typically
obtained by extending the settlement of TBA Agency MBS to a later
date. This is a component of the “Gain on derivatives, net” that is
shown on the Company’s statements of operations. (4) Paydown
expense on Agency MBS represents the proportional expense of Agency
MBS purchase premiums relative to the Agency MBS principal payments
and prepayments which occurred during the three-month period. (5)
Depreciation expense is added back in the core earnings
calculation, as it is a non-cash item, and it is similarly added
back in other companies’ calculation of core earnings or funds from
operations.
