MANAGEMENT REMARKS
"MTGE continued its strong 2016 performance with a 7.6% economic return in the third quarter, or 30% on an annualized basis," said Gary Kain, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Investment Officer. "Our net book value increased by 5.5% during the quarter, driven by spread tightening across both agency and non-agency securities. This spread tightening was most pronounced in our non-agency portfolio, in particular our credit risk transfer securities, which continued to benefit from strong housing fundamentals and conservative underwriting standards.
"Looking ahead, we are excited about MTGE's investment outlook given the combination of the solid housing market fundamentals within the conforming mortgage market, the improved funding outlook for agency MBS, and our view that global interest rates will remain 'lower for longer.' In addition, MTGE's expansion into healthcare real estate provides a new source of attractive investment opportunities, as well as portfolio diversification benefits. Against this backdrop, we believe our diversified portfolio is well positioned to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns."
NET BOOK VALUE
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's net book value per common share was $20.55, an increase of $1.08 per common share, or 5.5%, from its June 30, 2016 net book value per common share of $19.47. The increase in the Company's net book value per common share was primarily due to unrealized gains on non-agency securities during the quarter, as well as the outperformance of agency MBS relative to interest rate hedges.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's investment portfolio included $3.0 billion of agency MBS, $1.2 billion of net long TBA positions, $1.3 billion of non-agency securities, $0.1 billion of MSR and $0.1 billion of healthcare real estate investments.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's fixed rate agency investments were comprised of $0.5 billion 15 year MBS, $0.2 billion 20 year MBS, $2.2 billion 30 year MBS, $0.3 billion 15 year net long TBA securities and $0.9 billion 30 year net long TBA securities. As of September 30, 2016, 15 year fixed rate investments represented 19% of the Company's agency investment portfolio, consistent with June 30, 2016, and 30 year fixed rate investments represented 74% of the Company's agency portfolio, an increase from 73% as of June 30, 2016.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's net long TBA mortgage portfolio had a fair value and cost basis of approximately $1.2 billion, with a net carrying value of $4.5 million reported in derivative assets/(liabilities) on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company accounts for TBA securities as derivative instruments and recognizes dollar roll income and other realized and unrealized gains and losses on TBA securities in other gains (losses), net on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's agency fixed rate assets, inclusive of the net long TBA position, had a weighted average coupon of 3.41%, down from 3.48% at June 30, 2016, comprised of the following weighted average coupons:
- 3.09% for 15 year securities;
- 3.30% for 20 year securities; and
- 3.50% for 30 year securities.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's $1.3 billion non-agency portfolio was comprised of approximately 30% Alt-A, 25% credit risk transfer, 16% prime, 15% option ARM and 14% subprime securities.
CONSTANT PREPAYMENT RATES
The CPR for the Company's agency portfolio during the third quarter of 2016 was 13.0%, up from 11.7% during the second quarter. The CPR published in October 2016 for the Company's agency portfolio held as of September 30, 2016 was 13.3%, and the weighted average projected CPR for the remaining life of the Company's agency securities held as of September 30, 2016 was 10.1%, consistent with June 30, 2016.
The Company amortizes and accretes premiums and discounts associated with purchases of agency securities into interest income over the estimated life of such securities based on actual and projected CPRs using the effective yield method. As such, slower actual and projected prepayments can have a meaningful positive impact, while faster actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful negative impact on the Company's agency asset yields.
The amortization of premiums (net of any accretion of discounts) on the agency portfolio for the quarter was $(6.9) million, or $(0.15) per common share. The Company recognized approximately $(0.7) million, or $(0.01) per common share, of "catch-up" premium amortization expense during the quarter, due to changes in projected CPR estimates for the Company's existing agency securities during the quarter. The weighted average cost basis of the Company's agency securities was 105.3% of par and the unamortized agency net premium was $146.9 million as of September 30, 2016.
NON-AGENCY ACCRETION INCOME
The weighted average cost basis of the Company's non-agency portfolio was 86.1% of par as of September 30, 2016. Accretion income on the non-agency portfolio for the quarter was $6.1 million, or $0.13 per common share. The total net discount remaining was $198.3 million as of September 30, 2016, with $93.1 million designated as credit reserves.
ASSET YIELDS, COST OF FUNDS AND NET INTEREST RATE SPREAD
The Company's average annualized net interest rate spread on its balance sheet and dollar roll funded assets for the third quarter was 2.06% compared to 1.99% in the second quarter. Excluding estimated "catch-up" amortization expense due to changes in projected CPR, the Company's average annualized net interest rate spread was 2.12% for the third quarter, compared to 2.17% in the second quarter.
The Company's average agency and non-agency securities asset yield excluding TBAs was 3.30% for the third quarter, compared to 3.28% for the second quarter. Excluding the impact of "catch-up" premium amortization, the Company's annualized weighted average yield was 3.36% for the third quarter, compared to 3.46% for the second quarter. The Company's agency and non-agency securities asset yield excluding TBAs as of September 30, 2016 was 3.47%, up 9 bps from 3.38% as of June 30, 2016.
The Company's average cost of funds was 1.30% for the third quarter, consistent with the second quarter. The Company's average cost of funds includes the cost of repurchase agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and effective interest rate swaps (including those used to hedge the Company's dollar roll funded assets) measured against the Company's daily weighted average repurchase agreement and FHLB advance balances outstanding. The Company's average cost of funds as of September 30, 2016 was 1.30%, compared to 1.27% as of June 30, 2016.
On a per share basis, the Company recognized $0.48 per common share of net spread and dollar roll income excluding "catch-up" premium amortization (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the third quarter, compared to $0.46 for the prior quarter. Net spread and dollar roll income for the third quarter included $0.09 per common share of dollar roll income, compared to $0.06 for the prior quarter. A reconciliation of the Company's net interest income to net spread and dollar roll income and additional information regarding the Company's use of non-GAAP measures are included later in this release.
LEVERAGE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As of September 30, 2016, $3.3 billion of the Company's repurchase agreements and $0.3 billion of FHLB advances were used to fund purchases of agency and non-agency securities, while the remaining $5.0 million of borrowings under repurchase agreements were used to fund purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and are not included in the Company's measurements of leverage. Including TBA securities, the Company's "at risk" leverage ratio for agency and non-agency securities was 5.0x as of September 30, 2016 and averaged 4.8x during the third quarter.
The $3.3 billion borrowed under repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2016 had remaining maturities consisting of:
- $2.1 billion of one month or less;
- $0.3 billion between one and two months;
- $0.3 billion between two and three months;
- $0.1 billion between three and twelve months; and
- $0.5 billion greater than twelve months.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's agency and non-agency repurchase agreements had an average of 142 days remaining to maturity, down from 162 days as of June 30, 2016.
As of September 30, 2016, financing with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines had an outstanding balance of $0.3 billion and an average of 123 days remaining to maturity.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had repurchase agreements with 32 financial institutions and less than 5% of the Company's equity was at risk with any one counterparty, with the top five counterparties representing approximately 20% of the Company's equity at risk.
The Company's interest rate swap positions as of September 30, 2016 totaled $2.1 billion in notional amount, with a weighted average fixed pay rate of 1.22%, a weighted average receive rate of 0.79% and a weighted average maturity of 2.9 years. Excluding forward starting swaps, the Company's interest rate swap portfolio had a notional balance of $2.0 billion, an average fixed pay rate of 1.15% and a weighted average receive rate of 0.79% as of September 30, 2016 compared to a notional balance of $1.7 billion, an average fixed pay rate of 1.17% and a weighted average receive rate of 0.64% as of June 30, 2016. The Company enters into interest rate swaps with longer maturities with the intention of protecting its net book value and longer term earnings potential.
The Company utilizes interest rate swaptions to mitigate the Company's exposure to larger, more rapid increases in interest rates. As of September 30, 2016, the Company held payer swaption contracts with a total notional amount of $150.0 million and a weighted average expiration of 0.9 years. These swaptions have an underlying weighted average interest rate swap term of 5.7 years and a weighted average pay rate of 3.14% as of September 30, 2016.
The Company held a $(0.5) billion net short position in U.S. Treasury securities and futures as of September 30, 2016.
As of September 30, 2016, 58% of the Company's combined funding and net TBA balance was hedged through a combination of interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions and U.S. Treasury securities and futures, down 5% from June 30, 2016.
SERVICING
As of September 30, 2016, our servicing subsidiary Residential Credit Solutions ("RCS") owned a portfolio of MSR with a fair market value of $50.5 million, representing approximately 28 thousand residential mortgage loans and $5.6 billion in unpaid principal balances.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Capital Healthcare Investments, LLC ("CHI"), held real estate assets of $70 million financed through $49 million of secured notes payable with a weighted average interest rate of 4.81% as of September 30, 2016. During the third quarter, CHI recorded revenues of $2.4 million and expenses of $(2.1) million, including $(0.2) million of acquisition expenses related to future investments.
OTHER GAINS (LOSSES), NET
The Company has elected to record all agency and non-agency securities at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded in current GAAP earnings as other gains (losses). In addition, the Company has not designated any derivatives as hedges for GAAP accounting purposes and therefore all changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in current GAAP earnings as other gains (losses).
During the third quarter, the Company recorded $51 million in other gains (losses), net, or $1.11 per common share. Other gains (losses), net, for the quarter are comprised of:

- $(2.0) million of net realized loss on periodic settlements of interest rate swaps;
- $(40.5) million of net realized loss on other derivatives and securities;

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates, changes in the yield curve, changes in prepayment rates, the availability and terms of financing, changes in the market value of the Company's assets, the receipt of regulatory approval or other closing conditions for a transaction, general economic conditions, market conditions, conditions in the market for agency and non-agency securities and mortgage related investments, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company. Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Copies are available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt or new information, or otherwise.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company's results of operations discussed in this release include certain non-GAAP financial information, including "net spread and dollar roll income," "net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization," "estimated taxable income" and the related per common share measures and certain financial metrics derived from such non-GAAP information, such as "cost of funds" and "net interest rate spread."
"Net spread and dollar roll income" is measured as (i) net interest income (GAAP measure) adjusted to include other interest rate swap periodic costs, TBA dollar roll income and dividends on REIT equity securities (referred to as "adjusted net interest and dollar roll income") less (ii) total operating expenses (GAAP measure) adjusted to exclude non-recurring transaction costs. "Net spread and dollar roll income, excluding "catch-up" premium amortization," further excludes retrospective "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost or benefit due to changes in projected CPR estimates.
By providing users of the Company's financial information with such measures in addition to the related GAAP measures, the Company believes users will have greater transparency into the information used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. The Company also believes it is important for users to consider information related to its current financial performance without the effects of certain measures that are not necessarily indicative of its current or expected investment portfolio performance and operations.
Specifically, in the case of "adjusted net interest and dollar roll income," the Company believes the inclusion of TBA dollar roll income is meaningful as TBAs, which are accounted for under GAAP as derivative instruments with gains and losses recognized in other gain (loss) in the Company's statement of operations, are economically equivalent to holding and financing generic agency MBS using short-term repurchase agreements. Similarly, the Company believes that the inclusion of periodic interest rate swap settlements, which are recognized under GAAP in other gain (loss), is meaningful as interest rate swaps are the primary instrument used to economically hedge against fluctuations in the Company's borrowing costs and the inclusion of all periodic interest rate swap settlement costs is more indicative of the Company's total cost of funds than interest expense alone. In the case of "net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization," the Company believes the exclusion of "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost or benefit is meaningful as it excludes the cumulative effect from prior reporting periods due to current changes in future prepayment expectations and, therefore, exclusion of such cost or benefit is more indicative of the current and expected earnings potential of the Company's investment portfolio. The Company also believes the exclusion of non-recurring costs associated with the American Capital, Ltd. strategic review process and subsequent acquisition of the Company's external manager by AGNC Investment Corp. reported in general and administrative expense under GAAP is meaningful as they are not representative of ongoing operating costs. In the case of estimated taxable income, the Company believes it is meaningful information as it is directly related to the amount of dividends the Company is required to distribute in order to maintain its REIT qualification status.
However, because such measures are incomplete measures of the Company's financial performance and involve differences from results computed in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, results computed in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, estimated taxable income can include certain information that is subject to potential adjustments up to the time of filing the Company's income tax returns, which occurs after the end of its fiscal year.
A reconciliation of GAAP net interest income to non-GAAP net spread and dollar roll income, excluding "catch-up" premium amortization and a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP estimated taxable income is included in this release.
