Management Overview

Steven Mumma, NYMT's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented: "The investment portfolio delivered another successful quarter for the Company, generating net income per share of $0.34. The Company's earnings during the quarter benefitted significantly from continued price improvement for credit assets, specifically our multi-family CMBS, as it appears a greater number of investors have been pursuing this asset class in recent quarters. Since the end of last year, demand for credit assets has continued to exceed the supply, favorably impacting our CMBS, distressed residential loans and CLO investments while also creating a more challenging current return environment for new investments in these asset classes. During the quarter, we maintained the disciplined approach to new investments that has served us well over the course of the last several years as we built out our credit sensitive asset portfolio -- by deploying capital to assets that satisfy our longer term return on investment objectives. Despite the current return environment, our investment portfolio produced record quarterly net income of $30.3 million and performed in accordance with the design objectives we established for it several years ago, which is to deliver stable distributions to stockholders over diverse economic conditions."

Results of Operations

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $30.3 million and $51.6 million, respectively, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $11.2 million and $26.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2013. In general, the increase in a number of the line items below is largely a function of the growth in the Company's stockholders' equity from $473.3 million as of June 30, 2013 to $694.3 million as of June 30, 2014. The main components of the change in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013 are detailed in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data):

Net Interest Income / Interest Earning Assets

The significant increase in net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is directly attributable to the growth in our average interest earning assets, which increased by $100.9 million at June 30, 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013 and was down slightly from the first quarter of 2014. During the past year, the Company increasingly allocated both new and recycled capital to credit sensitive, higher yielding investments and allocated less capital to its Agency RMBS portfolio, which is lower-yielding. As of June 30, 2014, investments in multi-family CMBS, other multi-family investments and distressed residential loans increased to $663.4 million as compared to $458.9 million as of June 30, 2013. The combination of investment allocation to credit sensitive assets and lower prepayment rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 resulted in a 112 and 102 basis point increase in net interest spread when compared to the net interest spread for three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.  

The following table sets forth the net interest spread for our portfolio of interest earning assets by quarter for the six most recently completed quarters, excluding the costs of our subordinated debentures:

(1) Average Interest Earning Assets for the quarter excludes all Consolidated K-Series assets other than those securities issued by the securitizations comprising the Consolidated K-Series that are actually owned by us. 
(2) Our Average Interest Earning Assets is calculated each quarter as the daily average balance of our Interest Earning Assets for the quarter, excluding unrealized gains and losses.
(3) Our Weighted Average Yield on Interest Earning Assets was calculated by dividing our annualized interest income from Interest Earning Assets for the quarter by our average Interest Earning Assets for the quarter. 
(4) Our Cost of Funds was calculated by dividing our annualized interest expense from our Interest Earning Assets for the quarter by our average financing arrangements, portfolio investments, Residential CDOs and Securitized Debt for the quarter. Our cost of funds includes the impact of our liability interest rate hedging activities. 
(5) Net Interest Spread is the difference between our Weighted Average Yield on Interest Earning Assets and our Cost of Funds.

(3) Distressed residential loans yield is net of provision for loan losses. 

Prepayment History

Prepayment rates rose modestly in the second quarter of 2014 from first quarter of 2014 levels and were significantly lower than the CPRs for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, favorably impacting the net interest spread of the portfolio. The following table sets forth the actual CPRs for selected asset classes, by quarter, for the periods indicated below:

            Weighted
            Average 
    Agency   Non-   for
   Agency Fixed  Agency  Agency  Residential  Overall
 Quarter Ended  ARMs Rate  IOs  RMBS  Securitizations  Portfolio
June 30, 2014 9.9% 6.7% 12.7% 10.5% 7.0% 10.1%
March 31, 2014 8.8% 5.2% 11.3% 9.7% 7.5% 8.8%
December 31, 2013 6.7% 5.3% 13.5% 16.8% 12.6% 10.0%
September 30, 2013 16.8% 8.5% 20.4% 23.6% 12.0% 15.3%

March 31, 2013 20.8% 3.8% 21.6% 15.9% 10.2% 12.9%

Other Income

Total other income increased by $17.2 million and $24.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same periods in 2013, respectively and were primarily driven by:

  • an increase in realized gains on distressed residential mortgage loans of $(0.0) million and $8.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2013. The realized gains are derived from loan refinancings, workouts and resales, with the majority of the realized income on these assets from loan resales during the first quarter of 2014. Income generated from distressed residential loan workouts and resales was lower in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the prior quarter primarily as a result of lengthier diligence and settlement procedures. Because each buyer's diligence requirements differ, income generation from the workout or resale of these loans remains challenging to predict and may be uneven from quarter to quarter.
  • an increase in net unrealized gains on multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts of $11.0 million and $8.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2013, primarily due to improved pricing on our multi-family CMBS investments as compared to the corresponding prior periods resulting from greater market demand for this product; and
  • an increase in realized gain on investment securities and related hedges of $9.8 million and $15.0 million partially offset by an increase in unrealized loss on investment securities and related hedges of $3.3 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2013, which is primarily related to our Agency IO portfolio. The Agency IO portfolio performed better in the second quarter of 2014 due to lower interest rate volatility, relatively low prepayment speeds and improved IO pricing as compared to the second quarter of 2013.

Comparative Expenses (dollar amounts in thousands)

   For the Three Months Ended  For the Six Months Ended 
  June 30, June 30,
General, Administrative and Other Expenses 2014 2013  $ Change 2014 2013 $ Change
Salaries, benefits and directors' compensation  $ 1,144  $ 494  $ 650  $ 2,194  $ 1,091  $ 1,103
Professional fees 626 499 127 1,517 1,233 284
Base management and incentive fees 3,866 1,687 2,179 7,644 3,242 4,402
Expenses on distressed residential mortgage loans 1,217  1,117 100 2,429 1,566 863
Other 724 847 (123) 1,352 1,447 (95)
Total  $ 7,577  $ 4,644  $ 2,933  $ 15,136  $ 8,579  $ 6,557

The increase in general, administrative and other expenses was largely attributable to the increase in management fees, expenses related to our distressed residential mortgage loan investments and salaries, benefits and directors' compensation. The increase in base management and incentive fees was driven in large part by the increase in assets managed by our external managers, which closely corresponds to the growth in our stockholders' equity since the first quarter of 2013, and the performance of the assets they manage for us during the period, which resulted in incentive fees earned. The increase in expenses related to distressed residential mortgage loans is due to the increase in our investment in this asset class as compared to the same periods in 2013. The distressed residential mortgage loan strategy typically has a higher cost, as loan servicing and resolution processing on distressed loans is more operationally intensive than performing loans. The increase in salaries, benefits and directors' compensation can be attributed to internalization of the Company's accounting function.
