Second Quarter 2015 Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company had comprehensive income (loss) available to common shareholders of $(48.6) million, or $(0.50) per weighted-average common share, as compared to $48.7 million, or $0.50 per weighted-average common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in comprehensive income (loss) available to common shareholders was largely due to rising interest rates and, more specifically, basis widening during the second quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company had core earnings of $0.50 per weighted-average common share compared to $0.56 per weighted-average common share during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in the yield of the portfolio as prepayments increased. "Core earnings" represents a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net interest margin, as adjusted for certain derivative impacts, less operating expenses and dividends on preferred stock. Core earnings also excludes one-time transaction expenses related to the Company's acquisition of Pingora, described later in this release. Management believes core earnings is additional useful information regarding the Company's performance and an enhancement to the Company's reporting. Management uses core earnings as a measure of the earnings power of the portfolio and uses it as an additional gauge for determining appropriate distributable income, among other things.

"The second quarter was eventful with increased volatility in the bond markets and our move to enhance the Hatteras platform through the acquisition of Pingora," said Michael R. Hough the company's Chief Executive Officer. "Much of the market volatility again happened near the end of the quarter with a move higher in interest rates and wider in volatility pricing. As various forces heightened uncertainty and curve movement, the portfolio continued to perform as expected, and we believe is appropriately positioned for the current market environment.

"Hatteras is now in position to act on the vision we have described over previous quarters and to begin to move more aggressively toward a more diversified and effective balance sheet. We believe the prime jumbo loan platform we have been developing is now scalable and the acquisition of Pingora will facilitate the addition of well-priced, well-managed mortgage serving rights into our asset mix. The combination of our existing flow partners and Pingora's expanded roster of relationships should enable our existing agency and jumbo ARM flow business to grow meaningfully. We are excited about the opportunities in front of us and are bullish in our ability to enhance risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders."

Net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $53.9 million, compared to $59.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The Company's net interest spread decreased to 1.21% for the second quarter of 2015 compared to 1.32% for the first quarter, driven by lower portfolio yield. The yield on the Company's mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") decreased to 1.84% in the second quarter compared to 2.03% in the first quarter due to a decrease in average gross coupon and an increase in MBS prepayments resulting in higher premium amortization expense. Effective net interest margin, which includes certain adjustments related to derivatives as well as TBA dollar roll income, was $61.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to $67.5 million for the first quarter. Average portfolio yield including TBA dollar roll income was 1.94% in the current quarter, down from 2.08% in the first quarter.

The Company's average portfolio financing rate was 0.38% in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 0.36% in the first quarter. The Company's effective cost of funds, which includes certain adjustments related to derivatives, was 1.08% for the second quarter as compared to 1.11% for the first quarter. Operating expenses, including those of the Company's subsidiaries, were $9.0 million for the second quarter as compared to $8.3 million in the first quarter. This increase was due to $0.92 million of transaction expenses related to the Company's acquisition of Pingora. Excluding these transaction expenses, the total annualized expense ratio was 1.32% of average shareholders' equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 1.35% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Dividend

The Company declared a dividend of $0.50 per common share with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2015, consistent with the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Based on the closing share price of $16.30 on June 30, 2015, the second quarter dividend equates to an annualized yield of 12.3%.

Portfolio

The Company's weighted-average earning assets, consisting of residential mortgage assets, primarily MBS issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, were $21.0 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to $21.1 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The fair values of the Company's earning assets as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 are summarized below.

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015								March 31, 2015
	% of Earning Assets			Market Value		Wtd. Avg. Coupon			% of Earning Assets			Market Value		Wtd. Avg. Coupon
ARM securities		75.0	%	$	15,427,767		2.68	%		73.0	%	$	15,708,118		2.70	%
15-year fixed securities		6.0	%		1,241,616		3.39	%		5.7	%		1,216,886		3.47	%
15-year dollar roll TBA securities		18.1	%		3,723,003		2.65	%		20.8	%		4,466,965		2.78	%

		100.0	%	$	20,575,706		2.72	%		100.0	%	$	21,515,270		2.77	%

The annualized yield on the Company's average ARMs and 15-year fixed securities was 1.84% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 2.03% for the first quarter. The decrease in yield was due to a lower average gross coupon and higher prepayments.

During the second quarter of 2015, the expense of amortizing the premium on the Company's securities was $32.2 million, compared to $27.1 million during the first quarter. The weighted-average principal repayment rate (scheduled and unscheduled principal payments as a percentage of the weighted-average portfolio, on an annualized basis) during the second quarter of 2015 was 26.6%, compared to 21.0% during the first quarter. The Company's weighted-average one-month CPR for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was 19.5, up from 15.4 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. CPR measures the unscheduled repayment rate as a percentage of principal on an annualized basis.

At June 30, 2015, the Company owned 15-year TBA securities financed in the dollar roll market with a fair value of approximately $3.7 billion, as shown in the table above. The Company accounts for TBA securities as derivative instruments and recognizes dollar roll gains and losses in other income (loss) in the Company's financial statements. As of June 30, 2015, the Company's net TBA securities had a cost basis of approximately $3.8 billion and a net carrying value of $(36.2) million reported in derivative assets at fair value on the Company's balance sheet. The Company uses dollar rolls as alternative financing for its 15-year fixed-rate positions.

The Company earned interest of $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from prime jumbo ARM loans, on an average unpaid principal balance of $129.4 million. For the first quarter of 2015, the Company earned $467,000 of interest from prime jumbo ARM loans, on an average unpaid principal balance of $55.9 million. The Company owned $183.3 million of these loans at June 30, 2015, up from $123.3 million owned as of March 31, 2015. The loans had an average size of $759,000, a weighted-average interest rate of 3.40% and a weighted-average loan-to-value of 68% at June 30, 2015.

Portfolio Financing and Leverage

At June 30, 2015, the Company financed its portfolio with approximately $15.0 billion of borrowings under repurchase agreements. The Company's debt-to-shareholders' equity ratio at June 30, 2015, was 6.4 to 1 compared to 6.2 to 1 at March 31, 2015. The Company's effective leverage, which includes the effects of TBA dollar roll financing, was 8.1 to 1 at June 30, 2015, unchanged from March 31, 2015. Weighted-average effective leverage in the second quarter of 2015 was 8.0 to 1, consistent with the first quarter of 2015. At June 30, 2015, the Company's repurchase agreements had a weighted-average remaining term of approximately 45 days.

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements and Eurodollar futures contracts to synthetically extend the fixed interest period of these liabilities and hedge against the interest rate risk associated with financing the Company's portfolio. From time to time, the Company also enters into swaptions (option agreements to enter swaps at future dates) as part of its hedging strategy. See Tables 8 through 10 for detailed information regarding these positions as of June 30, 2015.

Book Value

The Company's book value (shareholders' equity less preferred stock liquidation preference) per share on June 30, 2015 was $21.06, decreasing from $22.05 on March 31, 2015 primarily due to falling asset prices. On a per share basis, the book value at June 30, 2015 consisted of $25.29 of common equity, $(6.57) of retained losses, $2.42 of unrealized gains on agency securities including TBA securities, and $(0.08) of unrealized losses on interest rate swaps. This last item relates to the unamortized balance of the Company's interest rate swaps remaining from when the Company accounted for these derivatives as cash flow hedges and does not include changes related to other derivatives, which flow through earnings.

Servicer Acquisition

During the quarter, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pingora Loan Servicing, LLC ("PLS") and Pingora Asset Management, LLC ("PAM) (collectively "Pingora") for approximately $22.6 million in cash to management and selling shareholders and $5.4 million in retention stock to management shareholders. PLS is an approved master servicer and PAM is a registered investment advisor specializing in MSR management. Pingora currently manages an MSR portfolio with over $50 billion of unpaid principal balance for unrelated third party investors. Pingora is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including various federal and state regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in September 2015. The Company began investing in MSRs owned and managed by Pingora in July 2015.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the Company's results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial information. Management's decision to present these supplemental non-GAAP measures arose largely from three developments during 2013: 1) the Company's cessation of hedge accounting for its interest rates swaps effective September 30, 2013, 2) increased use of Eurodollar futures contracts as interest rate hedges, and 3) the Company's use of TBA dollar rolls, which generate non-traditional investment income and embody off-balance sheet financing. These changes result in the recognition of material fair value adjustments in net income, as well as line item classifications that make it difficult to clearly explain the economics of the Company's results and strategies without supplemental disclosures. The non-GAAP measures the Company employs include effective interest expense, effective net interest margin, core earnings, and certain financial metrics derived from non-GAAP information, such as effective cost of funds and effective leverage. The Company uses these measures internally to assess its results and financial condition. Therefore, the Company believes that providing these measures gives users of financial information additional clarity regarding its performance and financial condition, and better enables them to see "through the eyes of management."

These measures involve differences from results computed in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's results computed in accordance with GAAP. Further, the Company's definition of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to its nearest directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP are included below.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by the Company, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond the Company's control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements.

Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include the risk factors discussed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company's expectations will be realized.

⁽¹⁾ This table includes non-GAAP financial measures. See the earlier section on non-GAAP Measures for important disclosures, as well as Tables 12 and 13 which contain reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

⁽²⁾ The averages presented herein are computed from the Company's books and records, using daily weighted values. Percentages are annualized, as appropriate.

⁽³⁾ Average portfolio yield, including TBA dollar roll income was calculated the same as average portfolio yield other than to include TBA dollar roll income in the numerator and our average TBA dollar roll position in the denominator.

⁽⁴⁾ Effective interest expense includes certain interest rate swap adjustments and gains/losses on maturities of Eurodollar futures. Effective cost of funds is effective interest expense for the period on an annualized basis divided by average debt for the period. See Table 12.

⁽⁵⁾ Effective net interest margin includes certain interest rate swap adjustments, gains/losses on maturities of Eurodollar futures and TBA dollar roll income. See Table 13.

⁽⁶⁾ Effective interest rate spread is the difference between average portfolio yield including TBA dollar roll income and effective cost of funds for the period.

⁽⁷⁾ Core earnings consists of effective interest margin reduced by operating expenses, excluding transaction expenses related to the Company's acquisition of Pingora, and dividends on preferred stock for the period. See Table 13.

⁽⁸⁾ The debt to paid-in capital ratio was calculated by dividing the amount outstanding under repurchase agreements at period end by the sum of the par value of the Company's common stock and additional paid-in capital at period end.

⁽⁹⁾ The effective debt to equity ratio was calculated the same as the debt to equity ratio other than to include the Company's off-balance sheet TBA dollar roll liability at period end in the numerator. The Company's off-balance sheet TBA dollar roll liability was $3,846,630 as of June 30, 2015.
