Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
NEW YORK - MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Second Quarter 2015 and other highlights:
· Generated second quarter net income available to common shareholders of $74.3 million, or $0.20 per common share (based on 370.2 million weighted average common shares outstanding). As of June 30, 2015, book value per common share was $7.96.
· On July 31, 2015, MFA paid its second quarter 2015 dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock to shareholders of record as of June 29, 2015.
· Subsequent to June 30, 2015, MFAs wholly-owned subsidiary, MFA Insurance, Inc. became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines. We are excited to add this partner as a counterparty and look forward to working together with FHLB Des Moines to further its core mission of supporting housing finance.
In the second quarter, both net income and dividend per common share were $0.20. Net income of $74.3 million includes $7.6 million of gains realized on sales of MBS.
William Gorin, MFAs CEO, said, In the second quarter, we continued to identify and acquire credit sensitive residential mortgage assets that generate earnings without increasing MFAs overall interest rate exposure. We grew our holdings of securities backed by re-performing and non-performing loans to $2.592 billion while moving forward with the acquisition of re-performing and non-performing whole loans, bringing our holdings of credit sensitive residential whole loans to $429.3 million. In addition, we sold $16.3 million of Non-Agency MBS issued prior to 2008 (Legacy Non-Agency MBS),
realizing a gain of $7.6 million. This is the twelfth 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, indicators of inflation, international developments 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 0.61 at quarter-end. Leverage, which reflects the ratio of our financing obligations to equity, was 3.3:1 at quarter-end.
Craig Knutson, MFAs President and COO, added, MFAs portfolio asset selection process continues to emphasize residential mortgage credit exposure while seeking to minimize sensitivity to interest rates. Our Legacy Non-Agency portfolio has benefited from improved housing fundamentals as LTVs decrease and delinquencies decline, thus lowering our expectations of future defaults and reducing expected future losses. Our RPL/NPL MBS portfolio has credit protection through deal structure and subordination, while the short term nature of the cash flows minimizes its sensitivity to interest rate changes. And our credit sensitive residential whole loans offer additional exposure to residential mortgage credit while offering us the opportunity to improve outcomes through sensible and effective servicing decisions.
MFAs Legacy Non-Agency MBS had a face amount of $4.809 billion with an amortized cost of $3.602 billion and a net purchase discount of $1.207 billion at June 30, 2015. This discount consists of a $847.0 million credit reserve and other-than-temporary impairments and a $359.6 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 Legacy Non-Agency MBS loss adjusted yield of 7.59% for the second quarter is based on projected defaults equal to 23% of underlying loan balances. On average, these loans are approximately nine years seasoned and approximately 14% are currently 60 or more days delinquent.
The Agency MBS portfolio had an average amortized cost basis of 103.8% of par as of June 30, 2015, and generated a 1.89% yield in the second quarter. The Legacy Non-Agency MBS portfolio had an average amortized cost of 74.9% of par as of June 30, 2015, and generated a loss-adjusted yield of 7.59% in the second quarter. At the end of the second quarter, MFA held approximately $2.592 billion of the senior most tranches of RPL/NPL MBS. These securities had an amortized cost of 99.9% of par and generated a 3.66% yield for the quarter.
In addition, at June 30, 2015, our investments in credit sensitive residential whole loans totaled $429.3 million. Of this amount, $245.4 million is recorded at carrying value, or 84.0% of the unpaid principal balance and generated a loss-adjusted yield of 6.88% (6.20% net of servicing costs) during the quarter and $183.9 million is recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet. On this portion of the portfolio we recorded gains for the quarter of approximately $3.2 million, primarily reflecting coupon interest payments received and changes in the fair value of the underlying loans during the quarter.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015, MFAs costs for compensation and benefits and other general and administrative expenses were $11.2 million or an annualized 1.43% of stockholders equity as of June 30, 2015.

(1) Includes cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $286.5 million, securities obtained and pledged as collateral, $128.9 million of CRT securities, interest receivable, goodwill, prepaid and other assets, obligation to return securities obtained as collateral, interest payable, dividends payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities.
(2) Represents the sum of borrowings under repurchase agreements, payable for unsettled MBS purchases and securitized debt as a multiple of net equity allocated. The numerator of our Total Debt/Net Equity ratio also includes the obligation to return securities obtained as collateral of $498.3 million, Senior Notes and repurchase agreements financing CRT security purchases.
(3) Yields reported on our interest earning assets are calculated based on the interest income recorded and the average amortized cost for the quarter of the respective asset. At June 30, 2015 the amortized cost of our interest earning assets were as follows: Agency MBS $5,263,462; Legacy Non-Agency MBS - $3,602,210; RPL/NPL MBS - $2,590,352; and Residential Whole Loans at carrying value - $245,402. In addition, the yield for residential whole loans at carrying value was 6.20% net of 68 basis points of servicing fee expense incurred during the quarter. For GAAP reporting purposes, such expenses are included in Loan servicing and other related operating expenses in our statement of operations. Interest payments received on residential whole loans at fair value is reported in Other Income as Net gain on residential whole loans held at fair value in our statement of operations. Accordingly, no yield is presented as such loans are not included in interest earning assets for reporting purposes.
(4) Average cost of funds includes interest on repurchase agreements, the cost of swaps, Senior Notes and securitized debt. Agency cost of funds includes 70 basis points and Legacy Non-Agency cost of funds includes 68 basis points associated with Swaps to hedge interest rate sensitivity on these assets.
At June 30, 2015, MFAs $9.620 billion of Agency and Legacy Non-Agency MBS, were backed by Hybrid, adjustable and fixed-rate mortgages. Additional information about these MBS, including average months to reset and three-month average CPR, is presented below:
