MFA Financial, Inc. : Announces Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Recommend:
NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Second Quarter 2012 and other recent highlights:
-- Second quarter net income per common share of $0.20 and Core Earnings
(as defined below) per common share of $0.20.
-- Book value per common share of $7.45 as of June 30, 2012, compared to
$7.49 as of March 31, 2012.
-- We continue to focus on adding longer-term financing for our Non-Agency
MBS holdings. On June 29, 2012 we added a $350 million 3-year
repurchase agreement to finance Non-Agency MBS assets.
-- On July 31, 2012, MFA paid its second quarter 2012 dividend of $0.23 per
share of common stock to stockholders of record as of July 13, 2012.
-- MFA's REIT taxable income exceeded Core Earnings in the first half of
2012, primarily due to the fact that for Non-Agency MBS acquired at a
discount, Core Earnings are reduced by credit reserves for estimated
future losses while taxable income is reduced by realized losses only
when they actually occur. MFA typically distributes annually
approximately 100% of its REIT taxable income and consequently,
dividends exceeded Core Earnings in the first two quarters of 2012. We
currently anticipate that MFA's REIT taxable income and Core Earnings
will trend closer together in the second half of 2012.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, MFA generated net income allocable to common stockholders of $72.3 million, or $0.20 per share of common stock. Core Earnings for the second quarter were $73.0 million, or $0.20 per share of common stock. "Core Earnings" is a Non-GAAP financial measure, which reflects net income excluding $280,000 of other-than-temporary impairment charges and a $425,000 decrease in the fair value of the securities underlying our Linked Transactions.
Stewart Zimmerman, MFA's Chairman of the Board and CEO, said, "MFA continues to provide stockholders with attractive returns through what we believe to be appropriately leveraged investments in both Agency and Non-Agency residential MBS. At quarter-end our debt to equity ratio (including the liabilities underlying our Linked Transactions) was 3.6:1. In this low interest rate environment, core earnings per share was $0.20 versus $0.21 in the first quarter. Our Agency portfolio had an average amortized cost basis of 102.9% of par as of June 30, 2012, and generated a 2.95% yield in the second quarter. Our Non-Agency portfolio had an average amortized cost of 73.0% of par as of June 30, 2012, and generated a loss-adjusted yield of 6.75% in the second quarter (Non-Agency average cost and loss-adjusted yield are adjusted for the impact of MBS Linked Transactions)."
"We believe MFA, an internally managed REIT, continues to be a very efficient vehicle for delivering the benefits of residential MBS investment to stockholders. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, MFA's cost for compensation and benefits and other general and administrative expenses were $8.4 million or an annualized 1.21% of stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2012."
William Gorin, MFA's President, added, "While housing fundamentals remain moderate to weak, we believe that we have appropriately factored this into our cash flow projections and credit reserve estimates. Our Non-Agency MBS loss adjusted yield of 6.75% is based on projected defaults that are approximately twice the amount of underlying mortgage loans that are presently 60+ days delinquent. These underlying mortgage loans were originated on average more than 6 years ago so that we have access to an average of 74 months of payment history. In the second quarter we continued to add multi-year financing that serves to reduce our reliance on short-term funding for Non-Agency MBS. While this longer-term financing is incrementally more expensive than short-term financing by approximately 100 basis points, we believe the certainty of the committed term more than justifies the additional cost."
MFA's $4.741 billion fair market value of Non-Agency MBS had a face amount of $6.360 billion, an amortized cost of $4.643 billion and a net purchase discount of $1.718 billion (all amounts adjusted for the impact of MBS Linked Transactions) at June 30, 2012. This discount consists of a $1.448 billion credit reserve and other-than-temporary impairments and a $269.7 million net accretable discount. In addition, at June 30, 2012, these Non-Agency MBS had 4.0% average structured credit enhancement in the form of subordination (subordinated bonds which absorb losses before MFA's Non-Agency MBS are impacted). This structured credit enhancement, together with the purchase discount, mitigates MFA's risk of loss on these investments. Subsequent to June 30, 2012, market prices of Non-Agency MBS have, in general, increased.
Prepayments for MFA's MBS portfolio did trend up in the second quarter. Unlike MFA's Agency MBS, due to their discounted purchase prices, the return on Non-Agency MBS is generally positively impacted if prepayment rates increase. The following table presents the weighted average prepayment speed on MFA's MBS portfolio (including MBS underlying Linked Transactions).

As of June 30, 2012, under its swap agreements, MFA has a weighted average fixed pay rate of interest of 2.75% and a floating receive rate of 0.28% on notional balances totaling $2.948 billion, with an average maturity of 18 months. In the third quarter $187.7 million notional amount of existing swaps with a weighted average fixed pay rate of 4.41% is scheduled to expire, while in the fourth quarter $341.2 million notional amount with a weighted average fixed pay rate of 4.43% is scheduled to expire.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains disclosures related to MFA's Core Earnings, Core Earnings per common share, investments in Non-Agency MBS, and returns on such assets for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. MFA's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures presented in this 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 measures should be made in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
Core Earnings and Core Earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2012, are not measures of performance in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude impairment losses recognized through earnings and changes in fair value of MBS underlying our Linked Transactions.
MFA believes that Core Earnings and Core Earnings per share provides investors with a useful measure to assess the performance of the Company's 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, 2012, are as follows:

As noted above, certain Non-Agency MBS purchases are presented as a component of Linked Transactions in MFA's GAAP financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2012. In assessing the performance of the Non-Agency MBS portfolio, MFA's 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 assist investors in analyzing the performance of MFA's Non-Agency MBS in the same way that MFA's management assesses such assets. However, as noted above, these non-GAAP financial measures do not take into account the effect of the changes in fair value of MBS underlying Linked Transactions and impairment charges on Non-Agency MBS which are reflected in GAAP earnings.
Information pertaining to MFA's Non-Agency MBS that are a component of Linked Transactions are reconciled below as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2012, with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as follows:
