NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE: MFA) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Fourth Quarter 2014 and other highlights:
In the fourth quarter, both net income and dividend per common share were $0.20. Net income of $76.0 million includes $12.2 million of gains realized on sales of MBS and a $1.0 million decrease in the fair value of the securities underlying "Linked Transactions."
William Gorin, MFA's CEO, said, "In the fourth quarter, we continued to identify attractive investment opportunities across the residential mortgage asset universe. We grew our holdings of securities backed by re-performing and non-performing loans to $2.008 billion (including $1.847 billion reported as a component of Linked Transactions) while moving forward with the acquisition of re-performing and non-performing whole loans, bringing our holdings of credit sensitive residential whole loans to $351.4 million. In addition, we acquired $70.4 million (of which $33.2 million was reported as a component of Linked Transactions) and opportunistically sold $20.3 million of Non-Agency MBS issued prior to 2008 ("Legacy Non-Agency MBS"), realizing a gain of $12.2 million. This is the tenth 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 MFA's interest rate sensitivity, remains below 1.0 and measured 0.56 at quarter-end. Leverage, which reflects the ratio of our financing obligations to equity, was 2.8:1 on a GAAP basis and 3.3:1 on a non-GAAP basis (including $1.520 billion of borrowings that are reported as a component of Linked Transactions) at quarter-end."
Craig Knutson, MFA's President and COO, added, "Our credit sensitive assets continued to benefit from improved housing fundamentals. Home price appreciation and underlying mortgage loan amortization have decreased the loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") for many of the mortgages underlying MFA's Legacy Non-Agency portfolio. We estimate that the average LTV of mortgage loans underlying our Legacy Non-Agency MBS has declined from approximately 105% as of January 2012 to approximately 76% as of December 31, 2014. In addition, we estimate that the percentage of non-delinquent loans underlying our Legacy Non-Agency MBS that are underwater (with LTVs greater than 100%), has declined from approximately 52% as of January 2012 to 12% as of December 31, 2014. As a result, we have again reduced our estimate of future losses. In the fourth quarter, we transferred $14.4 million from credit reserve to accretable discount. This increase in accretable discount is expected to increase the interest income realized over the remaining life of MFA's Legacy Non-Agency MBS."
MFA's Legacy Non-Agency MBS had a face amount of $5.159 billion with an amortized cost of $3.859 billion and a net purchase discount of $1.300 billion at December 31, 2014. This discount consists of a $900.6 million credit reserve and other-than-temporary impairments and a $399.1 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 7.67% for the fourth quarter is based on projected defaults equal to 25% of underlying loan balances. On average, these loans are approximately nine years seasoned and approximately 15% are currently 60 or more days delinquent.
The Agency portfolio had an average amortized cost basis of 103.8% of par as of December 31, 2014, and generated a 2.17% yield in the fourth quarter. The Legacy Non-Agency portfolio had an average amortized cost of 74.8% of par as of December 31, 2014, and generated a loss-adjusted yield of 7.67% in the fourth quarter. At the end of the fourth quarter, MFA held approximately $2.008 billion of the senior most tranches of RPL/NPL MBS which were issued in 2013 and 2014. These securities had an amortized cost of 99.9% of par and generated a 3.44% yield for the quarter. For GAAP reporting, $1.847 billion of these RPL/NPL MBS are reported as a component of Linked Transactions. These securities generated a 3.45% yield for the quarter, while the remaining $161.0 million not reported as a component of Linked Transactions generated a 3.25% yield for the quarter.
In addition, at December 31, 2014, our investments in credit sensitive residential whole loans totaled $351.4 million. Of this amount, $207.9 million is recorded at carrying value, or 79.6% of the unpaid principal balance and generated a loss-adjusted yield of 6.75% (6.07% net of servicing costs) during the quarter and $143.5 million is recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet. On this portion of the portfolio we recorded income for the quarter of approximately $447,000, primarily reflecting changes in market value of the underlying loans since acquisition.
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, MFA's costs for compensation and benefits and other general and administrative expenses were $10.9 million or an annualized 1.36% of stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2014.

Information with respect to Legacy Non-Agency MBS and RPL/NPL MBS, related repurchase agreement borrowings and resulting totals is presented on a non-GAAP basis, as it includes $66.4 million of Legacy Non-Agency MBS, $1.847 billion of RPL/NPL MBS and $1.520 billion of repurchase agreements underlying Linked Transactions. In addition, $107.6 million of credit risk transfer securities issued by Government Sponsored Entities ("CRT securities") and $79.0 million of associated repurchase agreement borrowings are included in other, net (of which $4.5 million of CRT securities and $3.0 million of associated repurchase agreement borrowings are components of Linked Transactions). The purchase of a Non-Agency MBS or CRT security and contemporaneous repurchase borrowing of this security with the same counterparty are accounted for under GAAP as a Linked Transaction. The two components of a Linked Transaction are evaluated on a combined basis and are presented net as Linked Transactions on our consolidated balance sheet. |
(2) |
Includes cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $249.7 million, $107.6 million of CRT securities (including CRT securities and associated repurchase agreements reported as Linked Transactions), securities obtained and pledged as collateral, interest receivable, goodwill, prepaid and other assets, borrowings under repurchase agreements of $507.1 million for which U.S. Treasury securities are pledged as collateral, interest payable, dividends payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities. |
(3) |
Information presented on a non-GAAP basis. Represents the sum of borrowings under repurchase agreements (including an aggregate $1.520 billion of repurchase agreements underlying Linked Transactions), payable for unsettled MBS purchases, multi-year collateralized financing arrangements of $512.1 million and securitized debt as a multiple of net equity allocated. The numerator of our Total Debt/Net Equity ratio also includes borrowings under repurchase agreements of $507.1 million for which U.S. Treasury securities are pledged as collateral and Senior Notes. On a GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of Linked Transactions, our debt-to-equity ratio is 1.64x for Legacy Non-Agency MBS, 4.35x for RPL/NPL MBS and 2.81x in total. |
(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 December 31, 2014 the amortized cost of our interest earning assets were as follows: Agency MBS - $5,824,093; Legacy Non-Agency MBS - $3,920,911; RPL/NPL MBS - $2,008,106; and Residential Whole Loans at carrying value - $207,923. In addition, the yield for residential whole loans at carrying value is presented net of 68 basis points of servicing fee expense incurred during the quarter. For GAAP reporting purposes, such expenses are included in Other investment related operating expenses in our statement of operations. Interest payments received on residential whole loans at fair value is reported in other income as 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) |
Information presented on a non-GAAP basis. On a GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of Linked Transactions the total yield on average interest earning assets for the quarter is 4.24% and the total net interest rate spread for the quarter was 2.41%. |
(6) |
Information presented on a non-GAAP basis. Average cost of funds includes interest on repurchase agreements (including interest on $1.520 billion of repurchase agreements underlying Linked Transactions), the cost of swaps and securitized debt. Agency cost of funds includes 79 basis points and Non-Agency cost of funds includes 60 basis points associated with Swaps to hedge interest rate sensitivity on these assets. On a GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of Linked Transactions, the average cost of funds for the quarter was 1.76%. |
(7) |
Includes amortization costs in connection with the issuance in of Senior Notes. |
At December 31, 2014, MFA's $10.564 billion of Agency and Legacy Non-Agency MBS, which includes $66.4 million of Non-Agency MBS underlying Linked Transactions, were backed by hybrid, adjustable and fixed-rate mortgages.
