  • Q2 2023 Distributable Earnings of $(3.9) million, or $(0.16) per diluted share of common stock.

“We are pleased to have accelerated purchases of newly originated, higher-coupon loans in the second quarter, which we expect to have a compounding positive effect on net interest income and securitization execution going forward. We believe our results in the first half of the year have demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of our business model, and now our focus is on growth,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Chief Executive Officer and President of Angel Oak Mortgage REIT. “Credit continues to perform well across the portfolio, and we will remain judicious with our approach and diligent in credit selection as we expand new purchases. Though the macroeconomic landscape remains uncertain, our improved balance sheet and increased liquidity have positioned the Company for success. As we head into the second half of the year, our emphasis is on executing our growth strategy and delivering attractive returns for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter Portfolio and Investment Activity

  • In June 2023, the Company priced AOMT 2023-4, an approximately $284.5 million scheduled unpaid principal balance securitization backed by a pool of residential mortgage loans, all of which were contributed by the Company. The securitization reduced the Company’s whole loan warehouse debt by approximately 45.6% versus the end of Q1 2023, bringing the total reduction in the Company’s whole loan warehouse debt since the end of Q3 2022 to approximately 73.7%.
  • The securitization released over $35 million of capital, which the Company has begun to deploy towards loan purchasing activity and liquidity enhancement.
  • Since the end of Q1 2023, AOMR has purchased and locked for purchase approximately $50 million of newly-originated loans as of today’s date that carry a weighted average loan coupon of 8.4%, a weighted average original loan-to-value ratio of 72%, and a weighted average original FICO score of 754.

Capital Markets Activity

  • Executed the AOMT 2023-4 securitization with a $284.5 million scheduled unpaid principal balance.
  • As of June 30, 2023, the Company was party to three financing lines which permit borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $929 million.
  • Our total financing capacity as of June 30, 2023 stands at $929 million of which approximately $234 million is drawn, leaving capacity of approximately $695 million for new loan purchases.

Balance Sheet

  • Target assets totaled $2.03 billion as of June 30, 2023.
  • Held residential mortgage whole loans with fair value of $296.5 million as of June 30, 2023.
  • Recourse debt to equity ratio was 2.5x as of June 30, 2023. As of today’s date, our recourse debt to equity ratio was 1.2x, reflecting the maturity of US Treasury repurchase agreements on July 13, 2023.

Dividend

On August 8, 2023, the Company declared a dividend of $0.32 per share of common stock for the second quarter of 2023. The dividend is payable on August 31, 2023 to common stockholders of record as of August 22, 2023.

Non-GAAP Metrics

Distributable Earnings is a non‑GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), excluding (1) unrealized gains and losses on our aggregate portfolio, (2) impairment losses, (3) extinguishment of debt, (4) non-cash equity compensation expense, (5) the incentive fee earned by our Manager, (6) realized gains or losses on swap terminations and (7) certain other nonrecurring gains or losses. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our REIT peers, but has important limitations. We believe Distributable Earnings as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as annual or annualized Distributable Earnings divided by average total stockholders’ equity. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our REIT peers, but has important limitations. Additionally, we believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with additional detail on the Distributable Earnings generated by our invested equity capital. We believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

Economic book value is a non-GAAP financial measure of our financial position. To calculate our economic book value, the portions of our non-recourse financing obligation held at amortized cost are adjusted to fair value. These adjustments are also reflected in our end of period total stockholders’ equity. Management considers economic book value to provide investors with a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our financial position as it reflects the impact of fair value changes for our legally held retained bonds, irrespective of the accounting model applied for GAAP reporting purposes. Economic book value does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for book value per share of common stock or stockholders’ equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
