Announces Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

 

NEW YORK - MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

Second Quarter 2014 and other highlights:

 

·                  Generated second quarter net income available to common shareholders of $75.0 million, or $0.20 per common share (based on 368.4 million weighted average common shares).

 

·                  Book value per common share increased to $8.37 as of June 30, 2014 from $8.20 as of March 31, 2014.

 

·                  On July 31, 2014, MFA paid its second quarter 2014 dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock to shareholders of record as of June 27, 2014.

 

In the second quarter, both net income and dividend per common share were $0.20. Net income of $75.0 million includes $7.9 million of gains realized on sales of MBS and a $1.8 million increase in the fair value of the securities underlying “Linked Transactions.”

 

William Gorin, MFA’s CEO, said, “In the second quarter, we continued to identify attractive investment opportunities across the residential mortgage asset universe. We have expanded our investment team and as a result, were positioned to significantly grow our holdings of securities backed by re-performing/non-performing loans to $495.1 million while moving forward with the acquisition of non-securitized re-performing loans, bringing our holdings of credit sensitive residential whole loans to $59.7 million. In addition, we acquired $14.2 million of Non-Agency MBS while opportunistically selling $26.5 million of Non-Agency MBS, realizing a gain of $7.9 million. This is the eighth consecutive quarter we have realized gains through selected sales of Non-

Agency MBS based on our projections of future cash flow relative to market pricing. We did not acquire any Agency MBS in this quarter.

 

“MFA remains positioned for a period when Federal Reserve monetary policy will become more variable based on measures of the labor markets, core inflation and other incoming data. Through asset selection and hedging strategy, the estimated effective duration, a gauge of MFA’s interest rate sensitivity, remains below 1.0 and measured 0.65 at quarter end. Leverage, which reflects the ratio of our financing obligations to equity, was 2.8:1 at quarter-end.”

 

Craig Knutson, MFA’s President and COO, added, “Our credit sensitive assets continued to benefit from improved housing fundamentals. Home price appreciation and underlying mortgage loan amortization have decreased the Loan-To-Value Ratio (“LTV”) for many of the mortgages underlying MFA’s Non-Agency portfolio. We estimate that the average LTV of mortgage loans underlying our Non-Agency MBS has declined from approximately 105% as of January 2012 to approximately 80% as of June 30, 2014.  In addition, we estimate that the percentage of current loans underlying our Non-Agency MBS that are underwater (with LTVs greater than 100%), has declined from approximately 52% as of January 2012 to 13% as of June 30, 2014. As a result, we have again reduced our estimate of future losses. In the second quarter, $24.5 million was transferred from credit reserve to accretable discount. This will be reflected in increased interest income over the remaining life of MFA’s Non-Agency MBS.”

 

MFA’s Non-Agency MBS had a face amount of $5.593 billion with an amortized cost of $4.171 billion and a net purchase discount of $1.422 billion at June 30, 2014.  This discount consists of a $986.8 million credit reserve and other-than-temporary impairments and a $435.6 million net accretable discount. We believe this credit reserve appropriately factors in remaining uncertainties regarding underlying mortgage performance and the potential impact on future cash flows.  Our Non-Agency MBS loss adjusted yield of 7.71% for the second quarter is based on projected defaults equal to 27% of underlying loan balances. On average, these loans are approximately eight years seasoned and approximately 15% are currently 60 or more days delinquent.

 

The Agency portfolio had an average amortized cost basis of 103.8% of par as of June 30, 2014, and generated a 2.26% yield in the second quarter.  The Non-Agency portfolio had an average amortized cost of 74.6% of par as of June 30, 2014, and generated a loss-adjusted yield of 7.71% in the second quarter.  At the end of the second quarter, MFA held approximately $495.1 million of the senior-most tranches of 2013/2014 securitizations of re-performing/non-performing loans (“RPL/NPL MBS”).  These assets had an amortized cost of 99.8% of par, generated an average yield of 3.80% in the quarter and $426.2 million of the RPL/NPL MBS were reported as a component of Linked Transactions.  In addition, the credit sensitive residential whole loan portfolio had an average carrying value of 80.9% of face amount and a loss-adjusted yield of 7.44% in the quarter.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, MFA’s costs for compensation and benefits and other general and administrative expenses were $10.4 million or an annualized 1.28% of stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2014. In the prior quarter ended March 31, 2014, this expense was $10.5 million or an annualized 1.31% of stockholders’ equity.

(1)       Information with respect to Non-Agency MBS and RPL/NPL MBS, related repurchase agreement borrowings and resulting totals is presented on a non-GAAP basis, as it includes $67.8 million of Non-Agency MBS, $426.2 million of RPL/NPL MBS and $387.5 million of repurchase agreements underlying “Linked Transactions.” The purchase of a Non-Agency or RPL/NPL MBS and contemporaneous repurchase borrowing of this MBS with the same counterparty are accounted for under GAAP as a Linked Transaction. The two components of a Linked Transaction (MBS and associated borrowings under a repurchase agreement) are evaluated on a combined basis and are presented net as Linked Transactions on our consolidated balance sheet.

(2)       Included in Prepaid and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 , resulting from our interest in a consolidated trust.

(3)       Includes cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

(4)       Includes securities obtained and pledged as collateral, interest receivable, goodwill, prepaid and other assets, borrowings under repurchase agreements of $439.0 million for which U.S. Treasury securities are pledged as collateral, interest payable, dividends payable, excise tax and interest payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities.

(5)       Information presented on a non-GAAP basis. For the Agency, Non-Agency and RPL/NPL MBS portfolios, represents the sum of borrowings under repurchase agreements (including an aggregate $387.5 million of repurchase agreements underlying linked transactions), payable for unsettled purchases, multi-year collateralized financing arrangements of $446.4 million and securitized debt as a multiple of net equity allocated. The numerator of our Total Debt/Net Equity ratio also includes borrowings under repurchase agreements of $439.0 million for which U.S. Treasury securities are pledged as collateral and Senior Notes. On a GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of Linked Transactions, our Debt/Net Equity ratio is 1.36x for Non-Agency MBS, 23.21x for RPL/NPL MBS and 2.81x in total.

(6)       Debt/Net Equity ratio includes impact of unsettled purchases. Assuming such purchases were settled in cash, Debt/Net Equity for RPL/NPL MBS is 3.68x (no leverage on a GAAP basis) and 2.91x in total (2.79x on a GAAP basis).

(7)       Information presented on a non-GAAP basis. On a GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of Linked Transactions, the yield on average interest earning assets for the quarter is 4.26% and the net interest rate spread for the quarter was 2.42%.

(8)       Information presented on a non-GAAP basis. Average MBS cost of funds includes interest on repurchase agreements (including $387.5 million of repurchase agreements underlying Linked Transactions), the cost of swaps and securitized debt. Agency cost of funds includes 81 basis points and Non-Agency cost of funds includes 82 basis points associated with Swaps to hedge interest rate sensitivity on these assets. On a GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of Linked Transactions, the average MBS cost of funds for the quarter was (1.77)%.

(9)       Includes amortization costs in connection with the issuance in of Senior Notes.
