Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the Company's operating results presented in accordance with GAAP, the following tables include the following non-GAAP financial measures: Core Earnings (including per common share), total interest income and average asset yield, including TBA dollar roll income, paydown expense on Agency MBS and effective total interest expense and effective cost of funds. The first table below reconciles the Company's "net income to common stockholders" for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 to "Core Earnings" for the same period. Core Earnings represents "net income to common stockholders" (which is the nearest comparable GAAP measure), adjusted for the items shown in the table below. The second table below reconciles the Company's total interest and other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 (which is the nearest comparable GAAP measure) to the total interest income and average asset yield, including TBA dollar roll income, and shows the annualized amounts as a percentage of the Company's average earning assets and also reconciles the Company's total interest expense (which is the nearest comparable GAAP measure) to the effective total interest expense and effective cost of funds and shows the annualized amounts as a percentage of the Company's average borrowings.

The Company's management believes that:

  • these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they provide investors with greater transparency to the information that the Company uses in its financial and operational decision-making process;
  • the inclusion of paydown expense on Agency MBS is more indicative of the current earnings potential of the Company's investment portfolio, as it reflects the actual principal paydowns which occurred during the period. Paydown expense on Agency MBS is not dependent on future assumptions on prepayments or the cumulative effect from prior periods of any current changes to those assumptions, as is the case with the GAAP measure, "Premium amortization on Agency MBS";
  • the adjustment for an impairment charge on Non-Agency MBS is more reflective of current Core Earnings, as this charge represents future loss expectations;
  • the exclusion of the dividend paid on the Series C Preferred stock issued during the 2nd quarter 2017 is more reflective of current Core earnings and consequently, more meaningful to the comparability of results with prior quarters. The dividend on the Series C preferred stock is paid to all shares outstanding as of the record date regardless of when the shares were issued during the quarter and is included in the determination of net income to common stockholders for the quarter while the earnings from the funds raised from the issuance of these shares will not be fully recognized until future quarters; and
  • the presentation of these measures, when analyzed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP operating results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate the Company's performance to that of its peers, particularly those that have discontinued hedge accounting and those that have used similar portfolio and derivative strategies.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for the Company's operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

_____________
(1)   Impairment charge on Non-Agency MBS represents the amount charged against current GAAP earnings when future loss expectations exceed previously existing loss expectations. When future loss expectations become less than previously existing loss expectations, the difference would be amortized into earnings over the life of the security.
(2) This amount represents the amortization of the balance remaining in "accumulated other comprehensive income" as a result of the Company's discontinuation of hedge accounting in August 2014 and is recorded in its statements of operations as a portion of interest expense in accordance with GAAP.
