Announces Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results
NEW YORK - MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Third Quarter 2014 and other highlights:
· Generated third quarter net income available to common shareholders of $75.1 million, or $0.20 per common share (based on 369.7 million weighted average common shares). As of September 30, 2014, book value per common share was $8.28.
· On October 31, 2014, MFA paid its third quarter 2014 dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock to shareholders of record as of September 29, 2014.
· In the third quarter we continued to selectively identify and acquire attractive investments within our targeted residential mortgage credit universe. Within the quarter our holdings of securities backed by re-performing/non-performing loans (RPL/NPL MBS) increased by 91% to $943.3 million while our holdings of non-securitized reperforming loans increased by 89% to $112.9 million.
In the third quarter, both net income and dividend per common share were $0.20. Net income of $75.1 million includes $13.9 million of gains realized on sales of MBS and a $1.8 million decline in the fair value of the securities underlying Linked Transactions.
William Gorin, MFAs CEO, said, In the third quarter, we continued to identify attractive investment opportunities across the residential mortgage asset universe. We were positioned to significantly grow our holdings of securities backed by re-performing/non-performing loans to $943.3 million while moving
forward with the acquisition of non-securitized re-performing loans, bringing our holdings of credit sensitive residential whole loans to $112.9 million. In addition, we acquired $42.5 million and opportunistically sold $61.6 million of Non-Agency MBS issued prior to 2008 (Legacy Non-Agency MBS), realizing a gain of $13.9 million. This is the ninth consecutive quarter we have realized gains through selected sales of Legacy Non-Agency MBS based on our projections of future cash flows 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 may 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 MFAs interest rate sensitivity, remains below 1.0 and measured 0.62 at quarter-end. Leverage, which reflects the ratio of our financing obligations to equity, was 2.7:1 at quarter-end.
Craig Knutson, MFAs 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 MFAs Legacy Non-Agency portfolio. We estimate that the average LTV of mortgage loans underlying our Legacy Non-Agency MBS has declined from approximately 105% as of January 2012 to approximately 76% as of September 30, 2014. In addition, we estimate that the percentage of current loans underlying our Legacy Non-Agency MBS that are underwater (with LTVs greater than 100%), has declined from approximately 52% as of January 2012 to 12% as of September 30, 2014. As a result, we have again reduced our estimate of future losses. In the third quarter, $20.2 million was transferred from credit reserve to accretable discount. This increase in accretable discount is expected to increase the interest income realized over the remaining life of MFAs Legacy Non-Agency MBS.
Financing availability and terms continue to improve for our Legacy Non-Agency MBS as we see additional lenders enter this market. Generally, we are seeing lower haircuts and borrowing rates for these assets. In addition, we have taken advantage of capital structure opportunities to further improve our available borrowing capacity.
MFAs Legacy Non-Agency MBS had a face amount of $5.303 billion with an amortized cost of $3.948 billion and a net purchase discount of $1.355 billion at September 30, 2014. This discount consists of a $929.1 million credit reserve and other-than-temporary impairments and a $425.9 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 Legacy Non-Agency MBS loss adjusted yield of 7.70% for the third quarter is based on projected defaults equal to 26% 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 September 30, 2014, and generated a 2.09% yield in the third quarter. The Legacy Non-Agency portfolio had an average amortized cost of 74.5% of par as of September 30, 2014, and generated a loss-adjusted yield of 7.70% in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, MFA held approximately $943.3 million (of which, $916.7 million were reported as a component of Linked Transactions) of the senior-most tranches of 2013/2014 securitizations of RPL/NPL MBS. These assets had an amortized cost of 100.5% of par and generated an average yield of 3.51% (amortized cost of 99.9% of par and yield of 3.49%, including the effect of RPL/NPL MBS reported as a component of Linked Transactions). In addition, the credit sensitive residential whole loan portfolio had an average carrying value of 82.6% of face amount and a loss-adjusted yield of 7.31% (6.77% net of servicing costs) in the quarter.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, MFAs costs for compensation and benefits and other general and administrative expenses were $9.8 million or an annualized 1.21% of stockholders equity as of September 30, 2014.

The purchase of a Non-Agency 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) Amounts disclosed as market value reflects the carrying value and is included in Prepaid and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014. These assets are acquired through a consolidated trust. No debt-to-equity ratio is presented for residential whole loans, as unsettled purchases were settled in cash in October 2014.
(3) Includes cash, cash equivalents, U. S. Treasury Bills and restricted cash.
(4) Includes securities obtained and pledged as collateral, interest receivable, goodwill, prepaid and other assets, borrowings under repurchase agreements of $444.0 million for which U.S. Treasury securities are pledged as collateral, interest payable, dividends payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities.

The numerator of our Total Debt/Net Equity ratio also includes borrowings under repurchase agreements of $444.0 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-to-equity ratio is 1.52x for Non-Agency MBS, 0.36x for RPL/NPL MBS and 2.72x in total.
(6) Yield for residential whole loans is presented net of 54 basis points of servicing fee expense incurred during the quarter. For GAAP reporting purposes, such expenses are included in Other investment related operating expenses in the Statement of Operations.

(8) Information presented on a non-GAAP basis. Average MBS cost of funds includes interest on repurchase agreements (including interest on $791.8 million of repurchase agreements underlying Linked Transactions), the cost of swaps and securitized debt. Agency cost of funds includes 82 basis points and Non-Agency cost of funds includes 81 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 1.75%.
(9) Includes amortization costs in connection with the issuance in of Senior Notes.
