Orchid Island Capital Announces Estimated Fourth Quarter 2024 Results January 2025 Monthly Dividend and December 31, 2024 RMBS Portfolio Characteristics
January 08 2025 - 4:25PM
Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ORC) announced
today that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a monthly
cash dividend for the month of January 2025. The dividend of
$0.12 per share will be paid February 27, 2025 to holders
of record of the Company’s common stock on January 31, 2025, with
an ex-dividend date of January 31, 2025. The Company plans on
announcing its next common stock dividend on February 12, 2025.
The Company intends to make regular monthly cash
distributions to its holders of common stock. In order to qualify
as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), the Company must
distribute annually to its stockholders an amount at least equal to
90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the
deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain.
The Company will be subject to income tax on taxable income that is
not distributed and to an excise tax to the extent that a certain
percentage of its taxable income is not distributed by specified
dates. The Company has not established a minimum distribution
payment level and is not assured of its ability to make
distributions to stockholders in the future.
As of January 8, 2025, the Company
had 84,613,638 shares of common stock outstanding. As of
December 31, 2024, the Company had 82,622,464 shares of
common stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had
78,082,645 shares of common stock outstanding.
Estimated December 31,
2024 Book Value Per Share
The Company’s estimated book value per share as
of December 31, 2024 was $8.09. The Company
computes book value per share by dividing total stockholders'
equity by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock.
At December 31, 2024, the Company's preliminary estimated
total stockholders' equity was approximately $668.5 million
with 82,622,464 shares of common stock outstanding. These
figures and the resulting estimated book value per share are
preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Estimated Net
Income Per Share and
Realized and Unrealized Gains on RMBS and Derivative
Instruments
The Company estimates it generated net
income per share of $0.07 for the quarter ended December
31, 2024, which includes an estimated $0.02 per
share of net realized and unrealized gains on RMBS and
derivative instruments. These amounts compare to total
dividends declared during the quarter of $0.36 per share. Net
income per common share calculated under generally accepted
accounting principles can, and does, differ from our REIT taxable
income. The Company views REIT taxable income as a better
indication of income to be paid in the form of a dividend rather
than net income. Many components of REIT taxable income can only be
estimated at this time and our monthly dividends declared are based
on both estimates of REIT taxable income to be earned over the
course of the current quarter and calendar year and a longer-term
estimate of the REIT taxable income of the Company. These figures
are preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Estimated Total Return on
Equity
The Company’s estimated total return on equity
for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was 0.6%. The
Company calculates total return on equity as the sum of dividends
declared and paid during the quarter plus changes in book value
during the quarter, divided by the Company’s stockholders’ equity
at the beginning of the quarter. The total return was $0.05
per share, comprised of dividends per share of $0.36 and a decrease
in book value per share of $0.31 from September 30, 2024.
