MFA Financial, Inc.
Announces Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results
MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Second Quarter 2011 and other recent highlights:
· Second quarter net income per common share of $0.22 and Core Earnings (as defined below) per common share of $0.26.
· On July 29, 2011, MFA paid its second quarter 2011 dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of July 14, 2011.
· In June, MFA sold $1.283 billion in principal value of Non-Agency MBS as part of a resecuritization. In connection with this transaction, $474.9 million of senior bonds rated AAA by DBRS, Inc. were issued to third party investors via a trust at a rate of LIBOR + 125 basis points. As required under GAAP, MFA will consolidate the resecuritization and will account for this transaction as a financing.
· Book value per common share was $7.48 at the end of the second quarter versus $7.86 at March 31, 2011 due primarily to price weakness within the Non-Agency MBS sector.
· In the quarter, we grew our Non-Agency MBS portfolio at an accelerated pace through the purchase of approximately $945.4 million of Non-Agency MBS (including MBS underlying Linked Transactions (as defined below)).
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, MFA generated net income allocable to common stockholders of $77.2 million, or $0.22 per share of common stock. Core Earnings for the second quarter were $91.6 million, or $0.26 per share of common stock. Core Earnings is a Non-GAAP financial measure, which reflects net income excluding $2.4 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges, $11.7 million of unrealized net losses on Linked Transactions and includes an adjustment of $0.7 million to increase interest income, following the de-linking of certain Non-Agency MBS previously reported as Linked Transactions for GAAP.
Stewart Zimmerman, MFAs Chairman of the Board and CEO, said, MFA continues to provide stockholders with attractive returns through appropriately leveraged investments in both Agency and Non-Agency residential MBS. We are well positioned with an Agency MBS portfolio with an average amortized cost basis of 102.4% of par. In the second quarter, we continued to implement our strategy of identifying and acquiring Non-Agency MBS with what we consider to be superior loss-adjusted yields at prices well below par. We currently project that approximately two-thirds of our third quarter 2011 Core Earnings will be generated by Non-Agency MBS. Our goal remains to continue positioning MFA to generate double-digit returns on equity over time.
William Gorin, MFAs President, added, In the second quarter, Non-Agency MBS generally experienced widespread price weakness which created a buying opportunity. Due to underlying borrower characteristics and certain structural features, our portfolio was less impacted by the overall price movement, declining an average of 3.4 points. We believe that the factors that impacted Non-Agency MBS prices were continued negative housing market news, concerns over continued sales of Maiden Lane II assets (MBS assets formerly owned by AIG and now owned by the Federal Reserve), and overall weak economic data. While housing fundamentals remain weak, we believe that we have appropriately factored this into our cash flow projections and credit reserve estimates. We continue to favor high yielding Non-Agency MBS at discount prices, as we believe the value of these assets will be positively impacted over time as the existing private label MBS universe continues to decline in size due to prepayments, defaults and limited issuance.
MFAs $4.249 billion fair market value of Non-Agency MBS had a face amount of $5.621 billion, an amortized cost of $4.137 billion (74% of face amount) and a net purchase discount (including $47.5 million of OTTI) of $1.484 billion (all amounts adjusted for the impact of MBS Linked Transactions) at June 30, 2011. This discount consists of a $1.188 billion credit reserve and a $248.7 million net accretable discount. In addition, at June 30, 2011, these Non-Agency MBS had 6.0% average structured credit enhancement in the form of subordination (subordinated bonds which absorb losses before MFAs Non-Agency MBS are impacted). This structured credit enhancement, along with the purchase discount, mitigates MFAs risk of loss on these investments. Unlike MFAs Agency MBS, due to their discounted purchase prices, the return on Non-Agency MBS will generally increase if the prepayment rates on these securities trend up.
During the second quarter of 2011, MFAs interest-earning asset portfolio net yield was 4.81%, its cost of funds was 1.76%, and the spread was 3.05% (adjusted for the impact of MBS Linked Transactions, the net yield was 4.93%, the cost of funds was 1.75% and the spread was 3.18%). The weighted average prepayment speed on MFAs MBS portfolio (including MBS underlying Linked Transactions) was 15.9% CPR during the second quarter of 2011. As of June 30, 2011, under its swap agreements, MFA had a weighted average fixed pay rate of interest of 2.91% and a floating receive rate of 0.20% on notional balances totaling $3.615 billion, with an average maturity of 26 months. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, MFAs costs for compensation and benefits and other general and administrative expenses were $7.8 million or 1.1% on an annualized basis of June 30, 2011 Stockholders Equity.
In the second quarter of 2011, MFA accelerated its purchases of Non-Agency MBS. However, MFA anticipates that the majority of its assets will continue to be whole pool Agency MBS. The following table presents MFAs asset allocation as of June 30, 2011 and the second quarter 2011 yield, cost of funds and spread for the various asset types.

MFA FINANCIAL, INC.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains disclosures related to MFAs Core Earnings, Core Earnings per common share, investments in Non-Agency MBS, and returns on such assets for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which constitute Non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. MFAs management believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures presented in its press release, when considered together with GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results and balance sheet composition. An analysis of any Non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
Core Earnings and Core Earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 are not measures of performance in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude impairment losses recognized through earnings and net unrealized losses on MBS underlying our Linked Transactions as such items are difficult to predict. In addition, following the de-linking of certain Non-Agency MBS that were previously reported as Linked Transactions for GAAP, Core Earnings includes an adjustment to reflect the interest income recognized on the underlying de-linked Non-Agency MBS on the same basis with that used prior to de-linking. Accordingly, the adjustment is consistent with the way management views the performance of these underlying Non-Agency MBS (i.e., as if never linked), which differs from GAAP accounting treatment.
MFA believes that Core Earnings and Core Earnings per share provides investors with a valuable measure of the performance of the Companys ongoing business and useful supplemental information to both management and investors in evaluating our financial results. A reconciliation of the GAAP items discussed above to their Non-GAAP measures for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is set forth below:

As noted above, certain Non-Agency MBS purchases are presented as a component of Linked Transactions in MFAs GAAP financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2011. In assessing the performance of the Non-Agency MBS portfolio, MFAs management does not view these transactions as linked, but rather views the performance of the linked Non-Agency MBS and the related repurchase agreement borrowings as it would any other Non-Agency MBS that is not part of a linked transaction. Consequently, MFA considers that these Non-GAAP

financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the performance of MFAs Non-Agency MBS in the same way that MFAs management assesses such assets. However, as noted above, these Non-GAAP financial measures do not take into account the effect of net unrealized losses on Linked Transactions, impairment charges and revisions to the yield used for income recognition for the underlying Non-Agency MBS subsequent to de-linking, which are reflected in GAAP earnings.
Information pertaining to MFAs Non-Agency MBS that are a component of Linked Transactions are reconciled below as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2011 with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as follows:
