____________________________________________________________

(1)

Reflects the impact of consolidating the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2017-D, which is 50% owned by third-party institutional investors.

(2)

Interest income on investment in debt securities and beneficial interests issued by our joint ventures is net of servicing fees.

(3)

Total revenue includes net interest income, loss from equity method investments, loss on joint venture refinancing on beneficial interests and other income.

(4)

Average equity includes the effect of an aggregate of $34.6 million of preferred stock for the three months ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, $93.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $115.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we had a GAAP consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(7.9) million or $(0.34) per common share after preferred dividends. Operating loss, a non-GAAP financial measure which adjusts GAAP earnings by removing gains and losses as well as certain other non-core income and expenses and preferred dividends, was $(2.1) million or $(0.09) per common share. We consider Operating loss/income to provide a useful measure for comparing the results of our ongoing operations over multiple quarters. For a reconciliation of Operating loss/income to consolidated net loss/income available to common stockholders, please refer to Appendix B.

Our net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 excluding any adjustment for expected credit losses was $3.5 million, a decrease of $0.4 million over the prior quarter. Gross interest income increased $7 thousand as a result of higher yields on our mortgage and debt securities portfolio. Our interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 increased $0.4 million compared to the prior quarter primarily as a result of rate increases on our floating rate repurchase financing. Interest earning assets declined $54.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

We generally acquire loans at a discount and record an allowance for expected credit losses at acquisition. We update the allowance quarterly based on actual cash flow results and changing cash flow expectations in accordance with the current expected credit losses accounting standard, otherwise known as CECL. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we recorded income of $0.6 million due to the decrease in the net present value of expected future credit losses partially driven by pre-payments in full and in part compared to $1.2 million of income recorded for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.

As previously described in our prior quarter earnings call, we recorded a $3.0 million loss in Other income on the sale of a portion of a Class A senior bond from one of our joint ventures for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This was a decrease of $0.8 million from the $3.8 million loss recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. A cumulative $2.2 million of this current quarter loss was already reflected in our book value calculation through Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") at December 31, 2022. This cumulative loss was reclassified to loss on sale of securities and an additional $0.8 million loss was recognized on the sale date.

We recorded a loss from our investments in affiliates of $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to a loss of $0.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 due to a lower flow through mark to market loss on shares of our stock held by our Manager. We account for our investment in our Manager using the equity method of accounting.

Our GAAP expenses increased on a quarter over quarter basis by $0.4 million primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in professional fees. Additionally our management fee expense increased by $0.1 million due to an update in the calculation to include our unsecured debt securities to the extent proceeds were used to repurchase our preferred stock and related warrants, effective as of March 1, 2023.

We recorded $0.1 million in impairment on our REO held-for-sale portfolio in other expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. We sold five properties in the first quarter and recorded a gain of $0.1 million in other income. Two properties were transferred from REO held-for-sale to mortgage loans.

On January 1, 2023, the Company transferred $83.0 million of investment securities from available-for-sale (“AFS”) to held-to-maturity (“HTM”) due to European risk retention regulations prohibiting the Company from selling, transferring or otherwise surrendering this proportion of investment interest.

Transfers of securities from AFS to HTM are non-cash transactions and are recorded at fair value. On the date of transfer, AOCI included unrealized losses of $10.9 million for these securities. This amount will be amortized out of AOCI over the remaining life of the respective securities, and has no net impact to interest income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, this amortization resulted in a recapture of book value of $2.0 million through the recovery of AOCI.

We ended the quarter with a GAAP book value of $12.58 per common share, compared to a book value per common share of $13.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in book value is driven primarily by our GAAP loss for the quarter and dividends paid, partially offset by the recovery of a portion of the mark to market loss in debt securities recorded on the balance sheet through AOCI, and the $2.0 million amortization of the unrealized loss on debt securities transferred to HTM.

Our taxable income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $0.05 per share of net income available to common stockholders, compared to $0.21 per share of taxable net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, we recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million comprised primarily of state and local income taxes.

On February 23, 2023, with an accredited institutional investor we refinanced our 2019-E, -G and -H joint ventures into Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2023-A ("2023-A") and retained $16.1 million of varying classes of agency rated securities and equity. We retained 5.01% of the AAA rated securities and 20.00% of the AA through B rated securities and trust certificates from the trust. 2023-A acquired 1,085 RPLs and NPLs with UPB of $205.1 million and an aggregate property value of $497.4 million. The AAA through A rated securities represent 79.8% of the UPB of the underlying mortgage loans and carry a weighted average coupon of 3.46%. Based on the structure of the transactions, we do not consolidate 2023-A under U.S. GAAP.

We collected $43.6 million of cash during the first quarter as a result of loan payments, loan payoffs, sales of REO, and cash collections on our securities portfolio to end the quarter with $49.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.

We purchased three RPLs with UPB of $0.8 million at 58.8% of property value and 72.9% of UPB. These loans were acquired and included on our consolidated balance sheet for a weighted average of 37 days of the quarter.

On January 31, 2023, we contributed an additional $0.7 million of equity interest in Great Ajax FS LLC ("GAFS"), the holding company which owns our loan servicer, Gregory Funding LLC. This increased our ownership from 8.0% to 9.6%. We account for our investment in GAFS using the equity method.

On February 21, 2023, our Board of Directors approved the First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement with the Manager, which has an effective date of March 1, 2023 and states that the stockholders’ equity used to calculate the base management fee include our unsecured debt securities to the extent the proceeds were used to repurchase our preferred stock.
