Announces Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

 

NEW YORK - MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

 

Second Quarter 2018 and other highlights:

 

·                  MFA generated second quarter GAAP net income of $66.6 million, or $0.17 per common share.  As of June 30, 2018, book value per common share was $7.54.

 

·                  Asset acquisitions exceeded run-off during the quarter.  MFA purchased or committed to purchase in excess of $1.1 billion of residential mortgage assets in the second quarter, including $898 million of residential whole loans.

 

·                  Recent growth in MFA’s residential whole loan portfolio has been largely through purchases of newly originated performing whole loans, including Non-QM loans, rehabilitation or “fix and flip” loans and single family rental loans.

 

·                  Net Income was $0.03 per common share lower than the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to:

·                  Lower income from residential whole loans held at fair value. While this portfolio continues to perform well and again delivered mark to market gains, they were less than in the prior quarter;

 

·                  Net interest income was lower as early quarter asset sales and run-off was not fully re-invested until later in the quarter, with closing of certain purchases of higher yielding loans held at carrying value, as well as a RPL/NPL MBS acquisition pending settlement at quarter-end; and

 

·                  Operating and other expenses this quarter were impacted by the timing of recognition of expenses associated with certain share-based compensation awards.

 

·                  On July 31, 2018, MFA paid its second quarter 2018 dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock to shareholders of record as of June 29, 2018.

 

Craig Knutson, MFA’s CEO and President, said, “In the second quarter, we continued to execute our strategy of targeted investment within the residential mortgage universe with a focus primarily on residential whole loans.  We again grew our portfolio this quarter, as acquisitions exceeded run-off and sales. To date in 2018, and particularly in the second quarter, much of the growth in the residential whole loan portfolio has been through purchases of newly originated performing whole loans, including Non-QM loans, fix and flip loans and single family rental loans.  We are pleased to have gained traction on these new acquisition efforts, which involve relationships cultivated over the past year or more.  Through our willingness and ability to explore and enter into various arrangements, including flow agreements, strategic alliances and also minority equity investments, we have been able to partner with originators to source attractive new investments, while enabling them to grow with support from MFA as a reliable provider of capital.

 

“MFA remains well-positioned to generate attractive returns despite higher funding cost due to Fed Funds increases and continued elevated asset prices.  Through our asset selection and hedging strategy, the estimated net effective duration, a gauge of our portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates, remains relatively low and measured 1.19 at quarter-end.  MFA’s book value per common share decreased slightly to $7.54 from $7.62 as of March 31, 2018, due primarily to dividend distributions exceeding GAAP earnings by $0.03. Leverage, which reflects the ratio of our financing obligations to equity, was 2.3:1 at quarter-end.”

 

Mr. Knutson added, “MFA’s portfolio asset selection process continues to emphasize residential mortgage credit exposure while seeking to minimize sensitivity to interest rates.  As housing prices maintain their upward trend and borrowers repair their credit and balance sheets, the performance of our credit sensitive residential whole loan portfolio benefits from this fundamental strength.  MFA’s proactive asset management team has been able to shorten liquidation timelines and increase property sale proceeds, leading to improved outcomes and better returns.  Additionally, MFA’s Legacy Non-Agency MBS portfolio continues to outperform our credit assumptions.  In the second quarter of 2018, we reduced our credit reserve on this portfolio by $8.0 million and these assets generated a yield of 9.89% for the quarter.”

 

During the second quarter MFA purchased or committed to purchase more than $1.1 billion of residential mortgage assets, including $898 million of residential whole loans.  This acquisition activity exceeded portfolio run-off and sales by almost $150 million.

At June 30, 2018, our investments in residential whole loans totaled $3.4 billion.  Of this amount, $1.9 billion is recorded at carrying value and generated a yield of 5.84% (5.60% net of servicing costs) during the quarter, and $1.5 billion is recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet.  On this portion of the portfolio, we recorded gains for the quarter of approximately $32.4 million, primarily reflecting coupon interest payments and other cash received during the quarter and changes in the fair value of the underlying loans.

 

MFA’s Legacy Non-Agency MBS had a face amount of $2.5 billion with an amortized cost of $1.8 billion and a net purchase discount of $754.0 million at June 30, 2018.  This discount consists of a $553.6 million credit reserve and other-than-temporary impairments and a $200.4 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 have underlying mortgage loans that are on average approximately twelve years seasoned and approximately 11.6% are currently 60 or more days delinquent.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Agency MBS portfolio totaled $2.4 billion, had an amortized cost basis of 103.9% of par and generated a 2.03% yield in the second quarter.  During the quarter we sold $75.3 million of lower yielding 15-Year Fixed Rate Agency MBS, realizing $3.8 million in losses.  The Legacy Non-Agency MBS portfolio had an amortized cost of 70.0% of par as of June 30, 2018, and generated a loss-adjusted yield of 9.89% in the second quarter.  At the end of the second quarter, MFA held approximately $907.9 million of RPL/NPL MBS.  These securities had an amortized cost of 99.80% of par and generated a 4.52% yield for the quarter.  Our investments in CRT securities totaled $572.0 million at June 30, 2018, and generated a yield of 6.34% in the second quarter.  Pricing this quarter of CRT securities was again relatively stable.  During the quarter we opportunistically sold $104.0 million of CRT securities, realizing gains of $11.2 million.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, MFA’s costs for compensation and benefits and other general and administrative expenses were $12.6 million, or an annualized 1.57% of stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2018.

(1)   All principal payments are considered to be prepayments for conditional prepayment rate (“CPR”) purposes.  RPL/NPL MBS are securitized financial instruments that are primarily backed by securitized re-performing and non-performing loans.  The majority of these securities are structured such that the coupon increases up to 300 basis points at 36 months from issuance or sooner.

As of June 30, 2018, under its swap agreements, MFA had a weighted average fixed-pay rate of interest of 2.07% and a floating receive rate of 2.08% on notional balances totaling $2.6 billion, with an average maturity of 22 months.

(1)   Includes $804.8 million of purchased credit impaired loans, $626.9 million of Non-QM loans, $162.7 million of Rehabilitation loans, $55.6 million of Single-family rental loans and $256.2 million of seasoned performing loans.  At June 30, 2018, the total fair value of these loans is estimated to be approximately $2.0 billion.

(2)   Includes cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, other assets and other liabilities.

(3)   Represents the sum of borrowings under repurchase agreements, securitized debt and payable for unsettled purchases 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 $253.7 million and Senior Notes.

(4)   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, 2018, the amortized cost of our interest earning assets were as follows: Agency MBS - $2.4 billion; Legacy Non-Agency MBS - $1.8 billion; RPL/NPL MBS - $907.5 million; Credit Risk Transfer securities - $528.7 million; and Residential Whole Loans at carrying value - $1.9 billion. In addition, the yield for residential whole loans at carrying value was 5.60% net of 24 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.

(5)   Average cost of funds includes interest on repurchase agreements, the cost of swaps, Senior Notes and securitized debt.  Agency cost of funds includes 28 basis points and Legacy Non-Agency cost of funds includes 31 basis points associated with swaps to hedge interest rate sensitivity on these assets.

an increase of which could require us to reinvest the proceeds received by us as a result of such prepayments in MBS with lower coupons; credit risks underlying MFA’s assets, including changes in the default rates and management’s assumptions regarding default rates on the mortgage loans securing MFA’s Non-Agency MBS and relating to MFA’s residential whole loan portfolio; MFA’s ability to borrow to finance its assets and the terms, including the cost, maturity and other terms, of any such borrowings; implementation of or changes in government regulations or programs affecting MFA’s business; MFA’s estimates regarding taxable income, the actual amount of which is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the amount of interest income and financing costs, the method elected by MFA to accrete the market discount on Non-Agency MBS and residential whole loans and the extent of prepayments, realized losses and changes in the composition of MFA’s Agency MBS, Non-Agency MBS and residential whole loan portfolios that may occur during the applicable tax period, including gain or loss on any MBS disposals and whole loan modification, foreclosure and liquidation; the timing and amount of distributions to stockholders, which are declared and paid at the discretion of MFA’s Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, MFA’s taxable income, its financial results and overall financial condition and liquidity, maintenance of its REIT qualification and such other factors as MFA’s Board of Directors deems relevant; MFA’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; MFA’s ability to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or the “Investment Company Act”), including statements regarding the Concept Release issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to interpretive issues under the Investment Company Act with respect to the status under the Investment Company Act of certain companies that are engaged in the business of acquiring mortgages and mortgage-related interests; MFA’s ability to successfully implement its strategy to grow its residential whole loan portfolio, which is dependent on, among other things, the supply of loans offered for sale in the market; expected returns on our investments in non-performing residential whole loans (“NPLs”), which are affected by, among other things, the length of time required to foreclose upon, sell, liquidate or otherwise reach a resolution of the property underlying the NPL, home price values, amounts advanced to carry the asset (e.g., taxes, insurance, maintenance expenses, etc. on the underlying property) and the amount ultimately realized upon resolution of the asset; risks associated with our investments in MSR related assets, including servicing, regulatory and economic risks, and risks associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions and the general economy. These and other risks, uncertainties and factors, including those described in the annual, quarterly and current reports that MFA files with the SEC, could cause MFA’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements it makes. All forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, assumptions and expectations of MFA’s future performance, taking into account all information currently available.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.
