Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries the “Company”), is a real estate finance company focused on acquiring and investing in first lien non-qualified residential mortgage (“non-QM”) loans and other mortgage‑related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. The Company’s strategy is to make investments in first lien non‑QM loans that are primarily made to higher‑quality non‑QM loan borrowers and primarily sourced from the proprietary mortgage lending platform of affiliates, Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions LLC and Angel Oak Home Loans LLC (together, “Angel Oak Lending”), which operates through wholesale and retail channels and has a national origination footprint. The Company may also invest in other residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage‑backed securities (“RMBS”), and other mortgage‑related assets. The Company’s objective is to generate attractive risk‑adjusted returns for its stockholders, through cash distributions and capital appreciation, across interest rate and credit cycles.
The Company is a Maryland corporation incorporated on March 20, 2018. On September 18, 2018 (commencement of operations), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) authorized the Company to commence operations and on October 19, 2018 the Company began its investing activities. For the period prior to September 18, 2018, the Company had no operating activity. The Company achieves certain of its investment objectives by investing a portion of its assets in its wholly‑owned subsidiary, Angel Oak Mortgage REIT TRS, LLC (“AOMR TRS”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on March 21, 2018, which invests its assets in Angel Oak Mortgage Fund TRS, a Delaware statutory trust formed on June 15, 2018.
On June 21, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,200,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“common stock”), at an initial public offering price of $19.00 per share for total proceeds of approximately $136.8 million, excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses of the IPO, each of which was paid by Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Angel Oak Capital”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-256301) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The common stock of the Company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “AOMR”.
Concurrently with the completion of the IPO, the Company sold an additional 2,105,263 shares of common stock to CPPIB Credit Investments Inc. in a private placement at $19.00 per share, for total proceeds of approximately $40.0 million.
The Operating Partnership
On February 5, 2020, the Company formed Angel Oak Mortgage Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), through which substantially all of its assets are held and substantially all of its operations are conducted, either directly or through subsidiaries. The Company holds all of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and indirectly holds the sole general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership through the general partner, which is the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
The Company’s Manager and REIT status
The Company is externally managed and advised by Falcons I, LLC (the “Manager”), a registered investment adviser with the SEC. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2019 and will operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s prospectus dated June 16, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 21, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus”), which is part of the Registration Statement.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and
Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material.
Significant Accounting Policies Recently Adopted
The Company uses securitization trusts considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in its securitization transactions. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. For VIEs that do not have substantial on-going activities, the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance may be determined by an entity’s involvement with the design and structure of the VIE.
The trusts are structured as entities that receive principal and interest on the underlying collateral and distribute those payments to the security holders. The assets held by the securitization entities are restricted in that they can only be used to fulfill the obligations of the securitization entity. The Company’s risks associated with its involvement with these VIEs are limited to its risks and rights as a holder of the security it has retained as well as certain risks associated which may occur when the Company acts as either the sponsor and/or depositor of and the seller, directly or indirectly to, the securitization entities.
Determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE requires judgment. The Company determined that for the securitizations it consolidates, its ownership provides the Company with the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. In addition, the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance, or power, such as rights to replace the servicer without cause or the Company was determined to have power in connection with its involvement with the structure and design of the VIE.
The Company’s interest in the assets held by consolidated securitization vehicles, which are consolidated on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, is restricted by the structural provisions of these trusts, and a recovery of the Company’s investment in the vehicles will be limited by each entity’s distribution provisions. The liabilities of the securitization vehicles, which are also consolidated on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, are non-recourse to the Company, and can only be satisfied using proceeds from each securitization vehicle’s respective asset pool.
The assets of securitization entities are comprised of residential mortgage-backed securities (or RMBS), or residential mortgage loans. See Note 2 for further discussion of the characteristics of the securities and loans in the Company’s portfolio relating to asset pools arising from securitization transactions.
Recent Accounting Standards - Recently Issued
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard was issued to ease the accounting effects of reform to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other reference rates. The standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt, derivatives, and other contracts affected by reference rate reform. The standard is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not believe that this ASU will have a material impact upon its consolidated financial statements.

2. Variable Interest Entities
Since its inception, the Company has utilized VIEs for the purpose of securitizing whole mortgage loans to obtain long-term non-recourse financing. The Company evaluates its interest in each VIE to determine if it is the primary beneficiary.
VIEs for Which the Company is the Primary Beneficiary
In the third quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a securitization transaction where it was determined that the Company was the primary beneficiary. The Company was the sole entity to contribute residential whole mortgage loans to the securitization vehicle, AOMT 2021-4.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, in the AOMT 2021-4 transaction, the Company securitized and consolidated approximately $316.6 million unpaid principal balance of seasoned residential non-QM mortgage loans. The retained beneficial interest in VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary (currently solely comprised of AOMT 2021-4) is the subordinated tranches of the securitization and further interests in additional tranches. The table below sets forth the fair values of the assets and liabilities recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to this consolidated VIE as of September 30, 2021:

VIEs for Which the Company is Not the Primary Beneficiary
In 2019 and 2020, the Company both co‑sponsored and participated in the formation of various entities that were considered to be VIEs, which were formed to facilitate securitization issuances that were comprised of secured residential whole loans or small balance commercial loans contributed to securitization trusts.
These securities were issued as a result of the unconsolidated securitizations where the Company retained bonds from the issuances of AOMT 2019-2, AOMT 2019-4, AOMT 2019-6, AOMT 2020-3, and AOMT 2020-SBC1. The Company determined that it was not then and is not now the primary beneficiary of any of these entities, and thus has not consolidated the operating results or statements of financial position of any of these entities. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of all VIEs in which the Company has participated since its inception as to whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE would cause the Company’s consolidation conclusion to change, and the Company’s assessment of the VIEs in which the Company participated during the years 2019 and 2020 remains unchanged.
The securities received in the aforementioned 2019 and 2020 securitization transactions are included in “RMBS - at fair value” and “CMBS - at fair value” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and details on the accounting treatment and fair value methodology of the securities can be found in Note 9, Fair Value Measurements. See Note 5, Investment Securities, for the fair value of AOMT securities held by the Company as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 that were retained by the Company as a result of the securitization transactions in 2020 and 2019.

6. Notes Payable
The Company has the ability to finance residential and commercial whole loans, utilizing lines of credit from various counterparties, as further described below. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at floating rates depending on the lending counterparty, the collateral pledged, and the rate in effect for each interest period, as the same may change from time to time at the end of each interest period. Some loans include upfront fees, fees on unused balances, covenants and concentration limits on types of collateral pledged; all vary based on the counterparty.

7. Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Transactions involving securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as collateralized financial transactions, and are recorded at their contracted repurchase amounts. Margin (if required) for securities sold under agreements to repurchase represents margin collateral amounts held to ensure that the Company has sufficient coverage for securities sold under agreements to repurchase in case of adverse price changes. Restricted cash was substantially comprised of margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase as of each of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Although the transactions under repurchase agreements represent committed borrowings until maturity, the lenders retain the right to mark the underlying collateral at fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require the Company to provide additional collateral or fund margin calls.
8. Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk and prepayment risk on its whole loan investments. The derivatives in which the Company invests, and the market risk that the economic hedge is intended to mitigate are further discussed below. Derivative instruments as of September 30, 2021 included both “To be Announced” forward-settling of mortgage-backed securities trades (“TBAs”) and interest rate futures contracts, while the derivative investments as of December 31, 2020 were solely comprised of interest rate futures contracts.
The Company uses interest rate futures as economic hedges to hedge a portion of its interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate risk is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors. The Company’s credit risk with respect to economic hedges is the risk of default on its investments that result from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.
The Company may at times hold TBAs in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on certain specified mortgage-backed securities. Amounts or obligations owed by or to the Company are subject to the right of set-off with the TBA counterparty. As part of executing these trades, the Company may enter into agreements with its TBA counterparties that govern the transactions for the TBA purchases or sales made, including margin maintenance, payment and transfer, events of default, settlements, and various other provisions.
Changes in the value of derivatives designed to protect against mortgage-backed securities fair value fluctuations, or economic hedging gains and losses, are reflected in the tables below. All realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts are recognized in earnings, in “net realized loss on derivative contracts, RMBS, CMBS, and mortgage loans” for realized losses, and “net unrealized gain (loss) on derivative contracts and mortgage loans” for unrealized gains and losses. Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts and unrealized appreciation on TBAs is included in “other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets when an unrealized appreciation position exists.
The Company considers the notional amounts, categorized by primary underlying risk, to be representative of the volume of its derivative activities.

9. Fair Value Measurements
For financial reporting purposes, we follow a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., our own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.
In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.
As of September 30, 2021, our valuation policy and processes had not changed from those described in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Prospectus. Included in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 is a more detailed description of our financial instruments measured at fair value and their significant inputs, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 valuation hierarchy.

(1) As of September 30, 2021, there were no financial liabilities measured at fair value.
(2) Non‑Agency RMBS held as of September 30, 2021 included both retained tranches of securitizations in which the Company participated, additional AOMT securities purchased in secondary market transactions, and other RMBS purchased in secondary market transactions. All AOMT CMBS held as of September 30, 2021 were comprised of retained tranches of AOMT securitizations.
(3) “Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts” is included in “other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(4) “Unrealized appreciation on TBAs” is included in “other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 were comprised of residential loans more than 90 days overdue (including those in foreclosure) and commercial mortgage loans in special servicing or otherwise considered “non‑performing” by the Company’s third‑party valuation providers. Transfers between Levels are deemed to take place on the first day of the reporting period in which the transfer has taken place. These transfers were not material.
All unrealized gains and losses arising from valuation changes in residential and commercial mortgage loans are recognized in net income for the periods presented.
We use third‑party valuation firms who utilize proprietary methodologies to value our residential and commercial loans. These firms generally use both market comparable information and discounted cash flow modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant input and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, default rates, or other valuation assumptions. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s significant Level 3 inputs as of September 30, 2021:

10. Related Party Transactions
Residential Mortgage Loan Purchases
On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into separate Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreements with each of Angel Oak Home Loans, LLC, Angel Oak Prime Bridge, LLC, and Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions, LLC (together the “Mortgage Companies”), all of which are affiliated with the Manager. These agreements provide the framework pursuant to which the Company has agreed to purchase from the Mortgage Companies certain fixed and adjustable‑rate residential, first and second lien mortgage loans, all of which are underwritten to predetermined guidelines.
The purchase price of the loans is generally equal to the outstanding principal of the mortgage, adjusted by a premium or discount, depending on market conditions. As part of each agreement, the Company purchases the mortgage loans on a servicing released basis. The Company also has an agreement with Angel Oak Prime Bridge, LLC whereby the Company purchases the mortgage loans on a servicing retained basis. In accordance with the Manager’s Inter‑Affiliate Transaction Policy, various functional areas within the Manager, including a valuation sub‑committee, risk management, legal, and the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company, regularly review the loan purchase activities between the Company and the Mortgage Companies. The residential mortgage loans are loans on residences located in various states with a concentration in California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. The following table sets forth certain financial information pertaining to whole loans purchased from affiliates during the year-to-date or year, respectively, and held as of year-to-date / year end:

Pre-IPO Management Fee
A pre-IPO management agreement (the “Pre-IPO Management Agreement”) existed among the Company, the Manager, and Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, LP (“Angel Oak Mortgage Fund”), the Company’s sole common stockholder prior to the IPO. Per the Pre-IPO Management Agreement, on a quarterly basis in advance, the Company paid the Manager an aggregate, fixed management fee equal to 1.5% per annum of the total Actively Invested Capital (as defined in the Pre-IPO Management Agreement) of the limited partners in Angel Oak Mortgage Fund. The Pre-IPO Management Agreement terminated on June 20, 2021 in connection with the IPO.
Post-IPO Management Fee
On and after June 21, 2021, the post-IPO management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) took effect among the Company, the Operating Partnership, and the Manager. Per the Management Agreement, on a quarterly basis in arrears, the Company shall pay the Manager an aggregate, fixed management fee equal to 1.5% per annum of the Company’s Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). The Management Agreement was effective for the last 10 days of June 2021, and the additional management fee incurred during the 10 days following the completion of the IPO was de minimis.
Operating Expense Reimbursements
The Company is also required to pay the Manager reimbursements for certain general and administrative expenses pursuant to the Management Agreement. Accrued expenses payable to affiliate and operating expenses incurred with affiliate are substantially comprised of payroll reimbursements to an affiliate of the Manager.
Transactions by Affiliates Regarding the Company’s IPO
The Company’s IPO was completed on June 21, 2021. The Company’s Manager purchased $6.0 million in stock at the IPO price of $19.00 per share, which was delivered on June 21, 2021. Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s Manager, agreed to pay the underwriting discounts and commissions in connection with the IPO. Such underwriting discounts and commissions were $8.2 million. Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC also agreed to pay all of the Company’s expenses incurred in connection with the IPO. Such expenses were $4.4 million.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company, from time to time, may be party to litigation relating to claims arising in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was not aware of any legal claims that could materially impact its financial condition. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no unfunded commitments.
12. Equity and Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
In the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company included participating securities, which are certain equity awards that have non-forfeitable dividend participation rights, as it was determined that the two-class method was more dilutive than the alternative treasury stock method for these shares. Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities under the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations require specific shares to be included that may differ in certain circumstances. For each of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, no outstanding equity awards were antidilutive.

Effect of Stock Split and Stock Dividend in Conjunction with the IPO during the nine months ended September 30, 2021
In conjunction with the IPO, the Company declared a stock split that resulted in 15,723,050 being owned by that sole common stockholder, who then distributed its stock in the Company to its investors. As a result of the stock split, 15,724,050 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 21, 2021 (both outstanding and weighted average outstanding), and the related share data and earnings per share calculations include the share amounts that have been retroactively restated accordingly for the calculations of earnings per share during that time period for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Basic and Diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, basic and diluted earnings per share were equivalent as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, 1,000 shares of common stock were outstanding (both outstanding and weighted average outstanding), all of which were held by Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, LP, the Company’s sole common stockholder prior to the IPO. These shares have been retroactively restated accordingly as described above for the calculations of earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
13. Equity Compensation Plans
On June 22, 2021, we established our sole equity compensation plan, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), with 2,125,000 shares initially available for grant. As of September 30, 2021, 1,651,316 shares of common stock were available for grant under the Plan, as on June 21, 2021, we granted 473,684 shares in restricted stock awards, for which the sole restriction to be satisfied is vesting over a period over one to three years. There were no forfeitures during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to these awards was $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method. The unamortized compensation expense of the restricted stock awards issued under the Plan totaled approximately $8.1 million as of September 30, 2021.
As of December 30, 2020, and prior to the establishment of the Plan, there were no equity compensation plans in existence, and therefore, no such compensation costs were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
14. Subsequent Events
Dividend Declared
On November 8, 2021, the Company declared a dividend of 36 cents per share of common stock, to be paid on November 30, 2021 to common stockholders of record as of November 22, 2021.

Our strategy is to make credit-sensitive investments primarily in newly-originated first lien non-QM loans that are primarily made to higher-quality non-QM loan borrowers and primarily sourced from Angel Oak’s proprietary mortgage lending platform, Angel Oak Mortgage Lending, which operates through wholesale and retail channels and has a national origination footprint. Further, we also may identify and acquire our target assets through the secondary market when market conditions and asset prices are conducive to making attractive purchases. Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders, through cash distributions and capital appreciation, across interest rate and credit cycles.
We are externally managed and advised by the Manager, a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and an affiliate of Angel Oak Capital, a leading alternative credit manager with market leadership in mortgage credit that includes asset management, lending and capital markets. Angel Oak Capital was established in 2009 and had approximately $13.3 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2021 across its private credit strategies, public funds, and separately managed accounts, including approximately $8.0 billion of mortgage‑related assets. Angel Oak Mortgage Lending is a market leader in non‑QM loan production and, as of September 30, 2021, had originated over $11.6 billion in total non‑QM loan volume since its inception in 2011. Angel Oak is headquartered in Atlanta and has over 850 employees across its enterprise.
Through our relationship with the Manager, we benefit from Angel Oak’s vertically integrated platform and in‑house expertise, providing us with the resources that we believe are necessary to generate attractive risk‑adjusted returns for our stockholders. Angel Oak Mortgage Lending provides us with proprietary access to non‑QM loans, as well as transparency over the underwriting process and the ability to acquire loans with our desired credit and return profile. We believe our ability to identify and acquire target assets through the secondary market is bolstered by Angel Oak’s experience in the mortgage industry and expertise in structured credit investments. In addition, we believe we have significant competitive advantages due to Angel Oak’s analytical investment tools, extensive relationships in the financial community, financing and capital structuring skills, investment surveillance capabilities, and operational expertise.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we have been organized and operated, and we intend to continue to operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the Code”). Our qualification as a REIT, and maintenance of such qualification, will depend on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various complex requirements under the Code relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of our assets, our distribution levels and the concentration of ownership of our stock. We also intend to operate our business in a manner that will allow us to maintain our exclusion from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Our common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange of June 17, 2021.
We expect to derive our returns primarily from the difference between the interest we earn on loans we make and our cost of capital, as well as the returns from bonds, including risk retention securities, that are retained after securitizing the underlying loan collateral.
Key Financial Metrics
As a real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are Distributable Earnings, Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity and book value per share.
Distributable Earnings
Distributable Earnings is a non‑GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders as calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding (1) unrealized gains and losses on our aggregate portfolio, and realized gains (losses) on derivatives, (2) impairment losses, (3) extinguishment of debt, (4) non-cash equity compensation expense, (5) the incentive fee earned by our Manager, (6) realized gains or losses on swap terminations and (7) certain other nonrecurring gains or losses. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our REIT peers, but has important limitations. We believe Distributable Earnings as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and our belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons that stockholders invest in our common stock, generally we intend to attempt to pay dividends to our stockholders in an amount equal to our REIT taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our Board of Directors. Distributable Earnings is one of a number of factors considered by our Board of Directors in declaring dividends and, while not a direct measure of REIT taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of our dividends. Distributable Earnings should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.
We also will use Distributable Earnings to determine the incentive fee payable to the Manager pursuant to the management agreement that we and Angel Oak Mortgage Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into with the Manager upon the completion of the IPO (the “Management Agreement”). For information on the fees that are payable to the Manager under the Management Agreement, see “Our Manager and the Management Agreement — The Management Agreement” in the Prospectus.
Distributable Earnings were approximately $4.9 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $11.8 million and $(1.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The table below sets forth a reconciliation of net income allocable to common stockholder(s), calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Distributable Earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity
Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as annual or annualized Distributable Earnings divided by average total stockholders’ equity. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our REIT peers, but has important limitations. Additionally, we believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with additional detail on the Distributable Earnings generated by our invested equity capital. We believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs. Set forth below is our computation of Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Results of Operations
Our results of operations presented herein for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the comparable periods ended September 30, 2020 do not reflect the expenses typically associated with being a public company, including the payment of increased directors’ fees for our independent directors and the expenses incurred in complying with the reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the payment of a base management fee and an incentive fee to the Manager as a result of differences in the way fees and expense reimbursements are calculated under the Management Agreement as compared to the pre-IPO management agreement as described in our Prospectus, full periods of equity compensation expenses, and increased legal and accounting fees. Additionally, pursuant to the Management Agreement, we will be required to reimburse the Manager for its operating expenses, including third‑party expenses, incurred on our behalf; and the Manager will also be entitled to reimbursement for costs of the wages, salaries, and benefits incurred by the Manager for our dedicated Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and a proportionate amount of the costs of the wages, salaries, and benefits of our Chief Executive Officer and President (who, upon completion of the IPO, has dedicated a substantial majority of his business time to us) based on the percentage of his business time spent on our matters, and any other dedicated or partially dedicated employees based on the percentage of each such person’s working time spent on matters related to us.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $13.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Net interest income increased due to the additional average portfolio balance in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to the composition of the portfolio during September 30, 2021 having a higher average balance of loans and financing facilities, which increased the interest expense associated with borrowings.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net were $(0.3) million and $(2.5) million, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we experienced market volatility in our residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) portfolio due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The three months ended September 30, 2021 presented a less volatile market environment as substantially all the credit and asset valuation issues related to the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had lessened. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we entered into “To Be Announced” forward-settling of mortgage-backed securities trades (“TBAs”), the losses of which were partially offset by realized and unrealized gains on residential mortgage loans.
Expenses
Operating and Investment Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our operating and investment expenses were $3.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The increase in operating expenses in the three month period ended September 30, 2021 was due to several factors, including an increase in insurance costs due to being a public company. Additionally, whole loan acquisition diligence costs increased over the comparative period as we purchased more whole loans in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. Lastly, we also experienced an increase in loan administration costs, as we held more loans during that same comparative period.
Operating Expenses Incurred with Affiliate
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our operating expenses incurred with affiliate were $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These expenses were primarily due to the allocated time of partially dedicated employees’ compensation being reimbursed by us, which remained stable during the comparative periods.
Securitization expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not incur any securitization expenses, as we were the sole participant in a securitization of a consolidated VIE during this time period which required capitalization of securitization costs, which are included as a contra-liability to the financing obligation recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. This contra-liability amortizes over a two-year period, and the amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was de minimis. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we did not participate in any securitization transactions.
Management Fee Incurred with Affiliate
Prior to the completion of the IPO, we were required to pay the Manager, in cash, a management fee pursuant to a pre-IPO management agreement among us, the Manager and Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, LP (“Angel Oak Mortgage Fund”), our sole common stockholder prior the IPO (the “pre-IPO management agreement”). The management fee payable under the pre-IPO management agreement was calculated based on the Actively Invested Capital (as defined in the pre-IPO management agreement) of the limited partners in Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, which we believe is reflective of a typical management fee payable by a private investment vehicle.
The pre-IPO management agreement terminated on the completion of the IPO, and we and the Operating Partnership subsequently entered into the Management Agreement with the Manager effective as of the completion of the IPO. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager is entitled to a base management fee, which is calculated based on our Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), and an incentive fee based on certain performance criteria, as well as a termination fee in certain cases and reimbursement of certain expenses as described in the Management Agreement. See “Our Manager and the Management Agreement - The Management Agreement” in the Prospectus for additional information regarding the fees that are payable to our Manager under the Management Agreement.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our management fee incurred with affiliate was $1.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase is due to the increase in our average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $32.5 million and $24.5 million, respectively. Net interest income increased due to the additional average portfolio balance in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, while interest expense decreased due to the timing of the use of loan and repurchase financing facilities, which decreased the interest expense associated with borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net were $(3.5) million and $(23.1) million, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we experienced significant decreases in market values of the assets including whole loans, RMBS, and interest rate futures due to the financial effects of the onset of the COVID‑19 pandemic. The nine
months ended September 30, 2021 presented a less volatile market environment as substantially all the credit and asset valuation issues related to the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had lessened. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, realized and unrealized gain on residential mortgage loans was partially offset by realized and unrealized losses on TBAs.
Expenses
Operating and Investment Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our operating and investment expenses were $5.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The increase in operating expenses in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 was due to several factors, including an increase in insurance costs due to being a public company. Additionally, whole loan acquisition diligence costs increased over the comparative period as we purchased more whole loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Lastly, we also experienced an increase in loan administration costs, as we held more loans during that same comparative period.
Operating Expenses Incurred with Affiliate
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our operating expenses incurred with affiliate were $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The increase in these expenses was primarily due to an increase in the allocated time of partially dedicated employees’ compensation being reimbursed by us during the comparative nine month period in 2021.
Securitization expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we did not incur any securitization expenses, as we were the sole participant in a securitization of a consolidated VIE during this time period which required capitalization of securitization costs, which are included as a contra-liability to the financing obligation recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. This contra-liability amortizes over a two year period, and the amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was de minimis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, securitization costs of approximately $2.1 million were incurred in a single securitization in an unconsolidated VIE in which we participated along with certain affiliates.
Management Fee Incurred with Affiliate
Prior to the completion of the IPO, we were required to pay the Manager, in cash, a management fee pursuant to a pre-IPO management agreement among us, the Manager and Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, LP (“Angel Oak Mortgage Fund”), our sole common stockholder prior the IPO (the “pre-IPO management agreement”). The management fee payable under the pre-IPO management agreement was calculated based on the Actively Invested Capital (as defined in the pre-IPO management agreement) of the limited partners in Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, which we believe is reflective of a typical management fee payable by a private investment vehicle.
The pre-IPO management agreement terminated on the completion of the IPO, and we and the Operating Partnership subsequently entered into the Management Agreement with the Manager effective as of the completion of the IPO. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager is entitled to a base management fee, which is calculated based on our Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), and an incentive fee based on certain performance criteria, as well as a termination fee in certain cases and reimbursement of certain expenses as described in the Management Agreement. See “Our Manager and the Management Agreement - The Management Agreement” in the Prospectus for additional information regarding the fees that are payable to our Manager under the Management Agreement.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our management fee incurred with affiliate was $4.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The increase is due to the increase in our average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.
Our Portfolio
As of September 30, 2021, our portfolio consisted of approximately $1.7 billion of residential mortgage loans, RMBS, and other target assets. “Target assets” is defined as the total investment portfolio excluding U.S. Treasury bills.

The remaining non‑QM loans that we contributed to AOMT 2019‑2 were purchased from affiliated and unaffiliated entities. We received bonds from AOMT 2019‑2 with a fair value of approximately $55.8 million, including approximately $33.0 million in risk retention securities (representing 5% of each class of the bonds issued as part of the transaction). Additionally, in July 2019, we participated in a second securitization transaction pursuant to which we contributed to AOMT 2019‑4 non‑QM loans with a carrying value of approximately $147.4 million that we had accumulated and held on our balance sheet, and we received bonds from AOMT 2019‑4 with a fair value of approximately $16.8 million. Furthermore, in November 2019, we participated in a third securitization transaction pursuant to which we contributed to AOMT 2019‑6 non‑QM loans with a carrying value of approximately $104.3 million that we had accumulated and held on our balance sheet, and we received bonds from AOMT 2019‑6 with a fair value of approximately $10.7 million. In June 2020, we participated in a fourth securitization transaction pursuant to which we contributed to AOMT 2020‑3 non‑QM loans with a carrying value of approximately $482.9 million that we had accumulated and held on our balance sheet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund our investments and operating costs, make distributions to our stockholders, and satisfy other general business needs. Our financing sources currently include capital contributions from our investors prior to our IPO, the proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement, payments of principal and interest we receive on our investment portfolio, unused borrowing capacity under our in‑place loan financing lines and repurchase facilities, and securitizations of our whole loans. Going forward, we may also utilize other types of borrowings, including bank credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit, among others. We may also seek to raise additional capital through public or private offerings of equity, equity-related, or debt securities, depending upon market conditions. The use of any particular source of capital and funds will depend on market conditions, availability of these sources, and the investment opportunities available to us.
We expect to use loan financing lines to finance the acquisition and accumulation of mortgage loans or other mortgage‑related assets pending their eventual securitization. Upon accumulating an appropriate amount of assets, we expect to finance a substantial portion of our mortgage loans utilizing fixed rate term securitization funding that provides long‑term financing for our mortgage loans and locks in our cost of funding, regardless of future interest rate movements.
Securitizations may either take the form of the issuance of securitized bonds or the sale of “real estate mortgage investment conduit” securities backed by mortgage loans or other assets, with the securitization proceeds being used in part to repay pre-existing loan financing lines and repurchase facilities. We have sponsored and participated in securitization transactions with other entities that are managed by Angel Oak, and may continue to do so in the future, along with sponsoring sole securitization transactions.
We believe these identified sources of financing will be adequate for purposes of meeting our short‑term (within one year) and our longer‑term liquidity needs. We cannot predict with certainty the specific transactions we will undertake to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due. We will adjust our plans as appropriate in response to changes in our expectations and any potential changes in market conditions.
Description of Existing Financing Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, we were a party to six loan financing lines, which permitted borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $1.3 billion. Borrowings under these agreements may be used to purchase whole loans for securitization or loans purchased for long‑term investment purposes. A description of each loan financing line is set forth as follows:
Nomura Loan Financing Line. On December 6, 2018, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC (“Nomura”). We are considered the “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time, we and one of our subsidiaries have amended such master repurchase agreement with Nomura. Pursuant to the agreement, we and our subsidiary may sell to Nomura, and later repurchase, up to $300.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement expires on August 5, 2022, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement. However, we are permitted to extend the expiration date by up to 364 additional days, subject to certain conditions being satisfied.
The principal amount paid by Nomura for each eligible mortgage loan is based on a percentage of both the market value, unpaid principal balance and acquisition price of the mortgage loan (generally ranging from 65% to 92%, depending on the type of loan and certain other factors and subject to certain other adjustments). Pursuant to the agreement, Nomura retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral for certain mortgage loans in its sole and absolute discretion. Additionally, Nomura is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. Upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, we are, or our subsidiary is, required to repay Nomura the adjusted principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate based on the sum of (1) the greater of (a) one-month LIBOR or three‑month LIBOR (depending on the type of mortgage loan) and (b) the applicable LIBOR floor, and (2) a spread generally ranging from 1.70% to 3.50% depending on the type of loan.
The agreement requires us to maintain various financial and other covenants, such as that: (1) adjusted tangible net worth on an aggregate basis must not be less than the sum of 50% of our adjusted tangible net worth as of the date of the agreement plus 50% of any future capital raised by us; (2) adjusted tangible net worth must not decline more than 25% in any rolling three month period or 35% in any rolling twelve month period; (3) the ratio of indebtedness to adjusted tangible net worth must not exceed 7:1; and (4) liquidity, on an aggregate basis, must exceed the greater of 5% of the aggregate purchase price and $2.0 million.
The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Nomura with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Nomura may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash and/or additional eligible mortgage loans with an aggregate market value sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, material adverse effects, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Nomura’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.
We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Nomura and to reimburse Nomura for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Nomura’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.
Banc of California Loan Financing Line. On December 21, 2018, we and our subsidiary entered into a master repurchase agreement with Banc of California, National Association (“Banc of California”). We are considered a “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time, we and one of our subsidiaries have amended such master repurchase agreement with Banc of California. Pursuant to the agreement, we or our subsidiary may sell to Banc of California, and later repurchase, up to $50.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement expires on March 16, 2022, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
The principal amount paid by Banc of California for each mortgage loan is based on the lesser of (1) a percentage of the original principal amount of the mortgage loan (ranging from 75% to 97%) and (2) a percentage of its take‑out commitment (97%) or $4.0 million, depending on the loan type. Pursuant to the agreement, Banc of California retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole discretion. Upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, we are, or our subsidiary is, required to repay Banc of California the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate (determined based on the type of loan) equal to the sum of (1) the greater of (A) a specified minimum rate (ranging from 3.50% to 4.13%) and (B) one‑month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.50% to 3.13%, and (2) in the case of loans with maturities over 364 days, the seasoned spread of 1.0%.
The agreement requires the us to maintain various financial and other covenants, which include: (1) a minimum tangible net worth of $40.0 million consolidated; (2) minimum liquidity of $5.0 million; (3) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1; and (4) we must attain positive net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as of the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2021, for the prior four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ending.
The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Banc of California with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Banc of California may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash and/or additional eligible mortgage loans with an aggregate market value sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, material adverse effects, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Banc of California’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.
We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Banc of California and to reimburse Banc of California for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Banc of California’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.
Deutsche Bank Loan Financing Line. On February 13, 2020, we and our subsidiary entered into a master repurchase agreement with Deutsche Bank, AG (“Deutsche Bank”). We are considered a “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time, we and one of our subsidiaries have amended such master repurchase agreement with Deutsche Bank. Pursuant to the agreement, we or our subsidiary may sell to Deutsche Bank, and later repurchase, up to $250.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement expires on February 11, 2022, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
The principal amount paid by Deutsche Bank for each mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the market value, cost‑basis value or unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loan (generally ranging from 60% to 92%, depending on the type of loan and certain other factors and subject to certain other adjustments). Pursuant to the agreement, Deutsche Bank retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole good faith discretion. Additionally, Deutsche Bank is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. Upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, we are, or our subsidiary is, required to repay Deutsche Bank the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate (determined based on the type of loan) equal to the sum of (1) the greater of (A) 0.00% and (B) one‑month LIBOR and (2) a spread generally ranging from 2.00% to 3.25%.
The agreement requires us to maintain various financial and other covenants, which include: (1) our adjusted tangible net worth must be an amount at least equal to the greater of (A) $100.0 million and (B) 20% of the maximum aggregate purchase price limit; (2) our adjusted tangible net worth on the last day of any calendar quarter shall not decline by (A) 20% or more from the adjusted tangible net worth as of the last day of the immediately prior calendar quarter or (B) 40% or more from the adjusted tangible net worth as of the last day of the calendar quarter that is twelve months prior to such calendar quarter; (3) our liquidity must at least equal the greater of (A) $5.0 million and (B) 3.0% of the outstanding purchase price for such mortgage loans transferred to Deutsche Bank; and (4) our indebtedness to our adjusted tangible net worth must not exceed 5.5:1.
The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Deutsche Bank with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value or cost‑basis value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Deutsche Bank may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Deutsche Bank’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.
We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Deutsche Bank and to reimburse Deutsche Bank for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Deutsche Bank’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.
Goldman Loan Financing Line. On March 5, 2021, we and our subsidiary entered into a master repurchase agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“Goldman”). We are considered a “Seller” under this agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, we or our subsidiary may sell to Goldman, and later repurchase, up to $200.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement expires on March 5, 2022, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
The principal amount paid by Goldman for each eligible mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan or the market value of the mortgage loan (generally ranging from 75% to 85%, depending on the type of loan), whichever is less. Pursuant to the agreement, Goldman retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole good faith discretion and in a commercially reasonable manner. The loan financing line is marked‑to‑market at fair value. Additionally, Goldman is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. Upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, we are, or our subsidiary is, required to repay Goldman the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued interest generally at a rate based on three‑month LIBOR plus 2.25%.
The agreement requires us to maintain various financial and other covenants, such as that: (1) our minimum tangible net worth of must not decline 20% or more in the previous 30 days, 25% or more in the previous 90 days, or 35% or more in the previous year, or fall below 50% of our tangible net worth as of September 30, 2018 plus 50% of any capital contributions made after that date; (2) our minimum liquidity must not fall below the greatest of (x) the product of 5% and the aggregate repurchase price as of such date of determination, (y) $5 million and (z) any other amount of liquidity that we have covenanted to maintain in any other note, indenture, loan agreement, guaranty, swap agreement or any other contract, agreement or transaction (including, without limitation, any repurchase agreement, loan and security agreement, or similar credit facility or agreement for borrowed funds); and (3) the maximum ratio of our and our subsidiaries’ total indebtedness to tangible net worth must not be greater than 5:1.
The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Goldman with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Goldman may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Goldman’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.
We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Goldman and to reimburse Goldman for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Goldman’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.
Veritex Financing Line. On August 16, 2021, we and our subsidiaries entered into a non-mark-to-market $50.0 million committed financing facility with Veritex Community Bank (“Veritex”) through the execution of a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) and a Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note” and together with the Loan and Security Agreement, the “Facility Documents”) among those subsidiaries and Veritex. Pursuant to the Facility Documents, Veritex agreed to make one or more advances to one or more of the subsidiaries of the Company (together, the “Borrowers”) secured by mortgage loans, notes and related collateral (the “Veritex Financing Line”). The Veritex Financing Line expires, and amounts outstanding under the Veritex Financing Line will mature, on August 16, 2023, subject to certain exceptions.
The amount advanced by Veritex for each eligible loan is based on the unpaid principal balance of the loan, the loan-to-value ratio of the loan and the FICO score of the borrower and ranges from 80.00% to 92.50% depending on the type of loan and the aforementioned criteria. The interest rate on any outstanding balance under the Facility Documents is the greater of (1) the sum of (A) one-month LIBOR and (B) 2.30%, and (2) 3.13%.
The obligations of the Borrowers under the Facility Documents are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) executed contemporaneously with the Facility Documents. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter: (1) the Company’s tangible net worth must be at least equal to $150.0 million; (2) the Company’s ratio of (A) EBITDA to (B) debt service shall be at least equal to 1.25 to 1.0 for such quarter; (3) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to total tangible net worth must not exceed 5.5 to 1.0; and (4) the Company’s liquidity must at least equal $5.0 million.
In addition, the Facility Documents contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the Facility Documents and Veritex’s right to liquidate the collateral then subject to the Facility Documents.
The Borrowers are also required to pay certain customary fees to Veritex and to reimburse Veritex for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Veritex’s management and ongoing administration of the Veritex Financing Line.
Barclays Financing Line. On September 20, 2021, we and one of our subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary”) entered into a $400.0 million repurchase facility (the “Barclays Financing Line”) with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) through the execution of a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Master Repurchase Agreement”) between the Subsidiary and Barclays. Pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement, the Subsidiary may sell certain securities to Barclays representing whole loan assets and later repurchase such securities from Barclays. The Master Repurchase Agreement expires on September 20, 2022, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement.
The amount expected to be advanced by Barclays is generally in line with other similar agreements that the Company or one of its subsidiaries has entered into, which is a percentage of the unpaid principal balance or market value of the asset depending on the type of underlying asset. Similarly, the interest rate on any outstanding balance under the Master Repurchase Agreement that the Subsidiary is required to pay Barclays is generally in line with other similar agreements that the Company or one of its subsidiaries has entered into, where the interest rate is equal to the sum of (1) a spread ranging from 1.70% to 3.50%, determined based on the type of underlying asset, and (2) one-month or three-month LIBOR. Additionally, Barclays is under no obligation to purchase the securities we offer to sell to them.
The obligations of the Subsidiary under the Master Repurchase Agreement are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) executed contemporaneously with the Master Repurchase Agreement. In addition, and similar to other repurchase agreements that the Company has entered into, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including those relating to (1) declines in tangible net worth; (2) a maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth; and (3) minimum liquidity.
In addition, the Master Repurchase Agreement and Guaranty contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, insolvency and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the amounts outstanding under the Master Repurchase Agreement and Barclays’ right to liquidate the purchased securities then subject to the Master Repurchase Agreement.
The Subsidiary is also required to pay certain customary fees to Barclays and to reimburse Barclays for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Barclays’ management and ongoing administration of the Master Repurchase Agreement.

We utilize short‑term repurchase facilities on our RMBS portfolio and to finance assets for REIT asset test purposes. Over time, the need to purchase securities for REIT asset test purposes will be reduced as we obtain and participate in additional securitizations and acquire assets directly for investment purposes. We will continue to use repurchase facilities on our RMBS portfolio to add additional leverage which increases the yield on those assets. Our use of repurchase facilities is generally highest at the end of any particular quarter, as shown in the table above, where the quarter-end balance and the highest month-end balance in each quarter are equivalent.
We may continue to purchase securities for REIT asset test purposes, although it is expected that, in the future, we may need to purchase fewer (or no) securities as we participate in additional securitizations and retain our pro rata share of securities issued in securitization transactions or acquire assets directly into the Operating Partnership.
Securitization Transactions
In August 2021, we were the sole participant in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, a substantial majority of which were non‑QM loans originated by our affiliate mortgage origination companies, secured primarily by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2021-4 issued approximately $316.6 million in face value of bonds. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $249.0 million and retained cash of $55.8 million, which was used to acquire additional non‑QM loans, pay down repurchase facilities, and acquire other target assets.
We own and hold the call rights on the XS tranche of bonds, which is the “controlling class” of the bonds. Given the accounting rules surrounding this type of transaction, we have consolidated the securitization on our consolidated balance sheet, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.
In June 2020, we participated in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, a substantial majority of which were non‑QM loans, secured primarily by first or second liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2020‑3 issued approximately $530.3 million in face value of bonds. We served as the “sponsor” (as defined in the U.S. Risk Retention Rules) of the transaction, contributing non‑QM loans with a carrying value of approximately $482.9 million that we had accumulated and held on our balance sheet to AOMT 2020‑3. The remaining non‑QM loans that we contributed to AOMT 2020‑3 were purchased from affiliated and unaffiliated entities. We received bonds from AOMT 2020‑3 with a fair value of approximately $66.5 million, including approximately $23.0 million in horizontal risk retention securities (representing 5% of the fair value of the securities and other interests issued as part of the transaction). We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $394.4 million and retained cash of $42.3 million, which was used to acquire additional non‑QM loans, pay down repurchase facilities, and acquire other target assets.
An affiliate of the Manager acted as the servicing administrator for AOMT 2020‑3, and as such is responsible for servicing the securitized mortgage loans pursuant to separate pooling and servicing agreements.
Series A Cumulative Non‑Voting Preferred Stock
In January 2019, in order for us to satisfy the 100‑holder REIT requirement under the Code, we issued 125 shares of our Series A preferred stock with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The shares of our Series A preferred stock may be redeemed at our option at any time, in whole or in part, for cash equal to $1,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption.
Leverage and Hedging Strategies
We finance our assets with what we believe to be a prudent amount of leverage, which will vary from time to time based upon the particular characteristics of our portfolio, availability of financing and market conditions.
Subject to qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT and maintaining our exclusion from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we expect to utilize various derivative instruments and other hedging instruments to mitigate interest rate risk, credit risk and other risks. For example, we may opportunistically enter into hedging transactions with respect to interest rate exposure on one or more of our assets or liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, and options.

Operating cash flows of $(883.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $118.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily due to the purchase of additional residential mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Investing cash flows of $(408.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily due to the purchase of RMBS during the quarter, along with the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities, which was partially offset by sales of U.S Treasury securities.
Financing cash flows of $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $(138.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were increased primarily due to the contributions received from our former sole stockholder, proceeds received from our private placement concurrent with the IPO, and proceeds received from the IPO.
Cash Flows - Residential and Commercial Loan Classification
Residential loan activity is recognized in the statement of cash flows as an operating activity, as our residential mortgage loans are generally held for a short period of time with the intent to securitize these loans. Commercial mortgage loan activity is recognized in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity, as our commercial mortgage loan portfolio is generally deemed to be held for investing purposes.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
For additional information on our contractual obligations, see the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Obligations and Commitments” section included in the Prospectus. As of September 30, 2021, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations from the information set forth in the Prospectus.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than the unconsolidated securitization trusts that we participated in, we do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor do we have any commitment or intent to provide funding to any such entities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies is included in the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” section in the Prospectus. Management discusses the ongoing development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
We expect quarter-to-quarter GAAP earnings volatility from our business activities. This volatility can occur for a variety of reasons, particularly changes in the fair values of consolidated assets and liabilities. In addition, the amount or timing of our reported earnings may be impacted by technical accounting issues and estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and any expected impact on the Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market‑based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, prepayment risk and extension risk.
There have been no material changes to the market risks disclosed in the Prospectus.
