MANAGEMENT REMARKS

"We are pleased with MTGE’s performance this quarter, as our portfolio generated an economic return of 11% against the backdrop of a very challenging interest rate environment," commented Gary Kain, President and Chief Investment Officer. "Our solid performance this quarter was enhanced by the actions we took late last year to reposition our portfolio toward a more defensive posture by reducing our leverage and interest rate risk."

"Both our agency and non-agency MBS performed well during the first quarter, as we continued our focus on sound asset selection, prudent risk management and an increased focus on prepayment risk," continued Mr. Kain. "We were especially pleased with the strong performance of the GSE credit risk sharing securities during the quarter (and into April), as we have increased our capital allocation to this sector."

"MTGE continues to deliver solid risk-adjusted returns over a wide range of market conditions, a testament to prudent capital allocation and disciplined risk management," commented Malon Wilkus, Chair and Chief Executive Officer. "MTGE’s value proposition is even more compelling when viewed in the context of the historically low interest rate environment and the expected returns available in other fixed income asset classes both in the U.S. and around the world."

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

As of March 31, 2015, the Company's investment portfolio included $4.2 billion of agency MBS, $0.2 billion of net long TBA securities, $1.3 billion of non-agency MBS and $0.1 billion of MSR.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company's agency investment portfolio, inclusive of net long TBA, was comprised of $4.3 billion of fixed rate and $0.1 billion of adjustable rate securities.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company's agency fixed rate investments were comprised of $1.6 billion 15 year securities, $0.2 billion 20 year securities, $2.2 billion 30 year securities, $(0.3) billion 15 year net short TBA securities and $0.6 billion 30 year net long TBA securities. As of March 31, 2015, 15 year fixed rate investments represented 30% of the Company's agency investment portfolio, a decrease from 43% as of December 31, 2014, and 30 year fixed rate investments represented 63% of the Company's agency investment portfolio, an increase from 50% as of December 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company's agency fixed rate mortgage assets, inclusive of the net TBA position, had a weighted average coupon of 3.35%, compared to 3.23% as of December 31, 2014, comprised of the following weighted average coupons:

3.06% for ≤15 year securities;
3.35% for 20 year securities; and
3.49% for 30 year securities.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company's $1.3 billion non-agency portfolio was comprised of 38% Alt-A, 16% prime, 15% credit risk transfer, 13% option ARM and 18% subprime securities.

The Company accounts for TBA securities as derivative instruments and recognizes dollar roll income and other realized and unrealized gains and losses on TBA securities in other gains (losses), net on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2015, the Company's net long TBA mortgage portfolio had a fair value and cost basis of approximately $0.2 billion, with a net carrying value of $4.4 million reported in derivative assets/(liabilities) on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

AGENCY CONSTANT PREPAYMENT RATES

The actual CPR for the Company's agency portfolio during the first quarter of 2015 was 7.7%, down from 8.0% during the fourth quarter. The CPR published in April 2015 for the Company's agency portfolio held as of March 31, 2015 was 9.5%, and the weighted average projected CPR for the remaining life of the Company's agency securities held as of March 31, 2015 was 8.9%, compared to 8.2% as of December 31, 2014.
 
The Company amortizes and accretes premiums and discounts associated with purchases of agency securities into interest income over the estimated life of such securities based on actual and projected CPRs using the effective yield method. As such, slower actual and projected prepayments can have a meaningful positive impact, while faster actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful negative impact on the Company's agency asset yields.

The amortization of premiums (net of any accretion of discounts) on the agency portfolio for the quarter was $9.0 million, or $0.18 per common share, with no significant impact from "catch-up" premium amortization during the quarter. The weighted average cost basis of the Company's agency securities was 104.9% of par and the unamortized agency net premium was $191.0 million as of March 31, 2015.

NON-AGENCY DISCOUNT ACCRETION

The weighted average cost basis of the Company's non-agency portfolio was 83.1% of par as of March 31, 2015. Accretion income on the non-agency portfolio for the quarter was $9.2 million, or $0.18 per common share. The total net discount remaining was $255.5 million as of March 31, 2015, with $136.5 million designated as credit reserves.

ASSET YIELDS, COST OF FUNDS AND NET INTEREST RATE SPREAD

The Company's average annualized net interest rate spread and dollar roll income for the first quarter was 2.25%, consistent with the fourth quarter. Excluding dollar rolls, the Company's average net interest rate spread was 2.19% for the first quarter, up 3 bps from 2.16% for the fourth quarter.

The Company's average asset yield on its MBS portfolio for the first quarter was 3.15%, compared to 3.18% for the fourth quarter. Excluding the impact of "catch-up" premium amortization expense recognized due to changes in projected CPR estimates, the annualized weighted average yield on the Company's MBS portfolio was 3.16% for the first quarter, compared to 3.31% for the fourth quarter. The Company's asset yield as of March 31, 2015 was 3.26%, up 2 bps from 3.24% as of December 31, 2014.

The Company's average cost of funds was 0.96% for the first quarter (derived from the cost of repurchase agreements and effective interest rate swaps), compared to 1.02% for the fourth quarter. The Company's average cost of funds of 1.02% as of March 31, 2015 was consistent with December 31, 2014.

LEVERAGE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

As of March 31, 2015, $5.0 billion of the Company's repurchase agreements were used to fund purchases of agency and non-agency securities, while the remaining $0.5 billion were used to fund purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and are not included in the Company's measurements of leverage. Including TBA securities, the Company's "at risk" leverage ratio was 4.5x as of March 31, 2015 and averaged 4.5x during the first quarter.

The $5.0 billion borrowed under agency and non-agency repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2015 had remaining maturities consisting of:

$2.2 billion of one month or less;
$1.2 billion between one and two months;
$0.6 billion between two and three months;
$0.3 billion between three and six months;
$0.2 billion between six and nine months; and
$0.5 billion greater than twelve months.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company's agency and non-agency repurchase agreements had an average of 183 days remaining to maturity, down from 210 days as of December 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had repurchase agreements with 32 financial institutions and less than 5% of the Company's equity was at risk with any one counterparty, with the top five counterparties representing less than 21% of the Company's equity at risk.

The Company's interest rate swap positions as of March 31, 2015 totaled $3.4 billion in notional amount, with a weighted average fixed pay rate of 2.14%, a weighted average receive rate of 0.26% and a weighted average maturity of 4.6 years. Excluding forward starting swaps, the Company's interest rate swap portfolio had a notional balance of $1.7 billion and an average fixed pay rate of 1.37% as of March 31, 2015. The Company enters into interest rate swaps with longer maturities with the intention of protecting its net book value and longer term earnings potential.
The Company utilizes interest rate swaptions to mitigate the Company's exposure to larger, more rapid increases in interest rates. As of March 31, 2015, the Company held payer swaption contracts with a total notional amount of $0.5 billion and a weighted average expiration of 1.2 years. These swaptions have an underlying weighted average interest rate swap term of 7.5 years and a weighted average pay rate of 3.43% as of March 31, 2015.

In addition to its interest rate swaps and swaptions, the Company held a $0.2 billion net long position in U.S. Treasury securities and futures.
As of March 31, 2015, 67% of the Company's combined repurchase agreement and net TBA balance was hedged through a combination of interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, U.S. Treasury securities and futures and total return swaps.

SERVICING

As of March 31, 2015, Residential Credit Solutions, Inc. ("RCS") managed a servicing portfolio of approximately 65,000 residential mortgage loans, representing approximately $13 billion in unpaid principal balances. During the first quarter, the Company recorded $11.8 million in servicing income and $(16.1) million in servicing expense, which included $(2.4) million in realization of cash flows on MSR.

OTHER GAINS (LOSSES), NET

The Company has elected to record all investments at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded in current GAAP earnings as other gains (losses). In addition, the Company has not designated any derivatives as hedges for GAAP accounting purposes and therefore all changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in current GAAP earnings as other gains (losses).

During the first quarter, the Company recorded $4.7 million in other gains (losses), net, or $0.09 per common share. Other gains (losses), net, for the quarter are comprised of:

$0.9 million of net realized gain on agency securities;
$3.2 million of net realized gain on non-agency securities;
$41.1 million of net unrealized gain on agency securities;
$(0.6) million of net unrealized loss on non-agency securities;
$(4.3) million of net realized loss on periodic settlements of interest rate swaps;
$17.2 million of net realized gain on other derivatives and securities;
$(49.7) million of net unrealized loss on other derivatives and securities; and
$(3.2) million of unrealized loss on mortgage servicing rights.

Realized and unrealized net losses on other derivatives and securities during the first quarter include $(52.7) million of net loss on interest rate swaps and swaptions, $9.5 million of net gain on U.S. treasury securities and futures, and $9.3 million of net gain on TBA mortgage positions (including $(0.5) million of dollar roll loss).

ESTIMATED TAXABLE INCOME

REIT taxable income for the first quarter is estimated at $0.52 per common share, or $(0.07) lower than GAAP net income per common share.

The primary differences between GAAP net income and estimated REIT taxable net income are (i) unrealized gains and losses associated with investment securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives and securities marked-to-market in current income for GAAP purposes, but excluded from taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) timing differences, both temporary and potentially permanent, in the recognition of certain realized gains and losses, (iii) losses or undistributed income of taxable REIT subsidiaries and (iv) timing differences related to the amortization and accretion of net premiums and discounts paid on investments.

The Company's estimated taxable income for the first quarter excludes $0.51 per share of estimated net capital gains, which are offset by the Company's capital loss carryforwards from prior periods.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $7.1 million of estimated undistributed taxable income ("UTI"), or $0.14 per common share. UTI excludes the Company's remaining unutilized net capital loss carryforwards and net deferred gains from terminated or expired swaps and swaptions. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had estimated remaining unutilized net capital losses of $(119.0) million, or $(2.33) per common share, which may be carried forward and applied against future net capital gains through 2018. Additionally, as of March 31, 2015, the Company had estimated net deferred gains from terminated swaps and swaptions of $54.0 million, or $1.06 per common share, which will be amortized into future ordinary taxable income over the remaining terms of the underlying swaps.


FIRST QUARTER 2015 DIVIDEND DECLARATION
On March 19, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a first quarter dividend on its common stock of $0.50 per share, which was paid on April 27, 2015 to common stockholders of record as of March 31, 2015.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, our results of operations discussed herein include certain non-GAAP financial information, including “adjusted net interest income” (including the periodic interest rate costs of our interest rate swaps reported in gain (loss) on derivatives and other securities, net in our consolidated statements of operations and dividends from REIT equity securities) and “estimated taxable income” and certain financial metrics derived from non-GAAP information, such as “cost of funds” and “estimated undistributed taxable income.”  By providing users of our financial information with such measures in addition to the related GAAP measures, we believe it gives users greater transparency into the information used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making and that it is meaningful information to consider related to: (i) the economic costs of financing our investment portfolio inclusive of interest rate swaps used to economically hedge against fluctuations in our borrowing costs, (ii) in the case of net spread income, our current financial performance without the effects of certain transactions that are not necessarily indicative of our current investment portfolio and operations, and (iii) in the case of estimated taxable income and estimated undistributed taxable income, information that is directly related to the amount of dividends we are required to distribute in order to maintain our REIT qualification status.  However, because such measures are incomplete measures of our financial performance and involve differences from results computed in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, our results computed in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.  Furthermore, estimated taxable income can include certain information that is subject to potential adjustments up to the time of filing our income tax returns, which occurs after the end of our fiscal year.

A reconciliation of GAAP net interest income to non-GAAP net spread and dollar roll income and a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP estimated taxable income is included in this release.
