MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) today provided its financial
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 financial results
update:
- MFA generated a GAAP net loss for the second quarter of $34.1
million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted common share. Distributable
earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, were $40.4 million, or
$0.40 per common share. MFA paid a regular cash dividend for the
quarter of $0.35 per share on July 31, 2023.
- GAAP book value at June 30, 2023 was $14.42 per common share.
Economic book value, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $15.12 per
common share.
- Net interest spread rose to 2.14%, a 40 bps increase from the
first quarter.
- MFA generated a total economic return of (3.4)% for the second
quarter.
- MFA closed the quarter with unrestricted cash of $329.4
million.
Commenting on the quarter, Craig Knutson, MFA’s CEO and
President said: “We are pleased to deliver distributable earnings
in excess of our dividend during what was another challenging and
volatile quarter for fixed-income investors. Although higher
interest rates negatively impacted our book value, we took
advantage of market conditions to acquire approximately $1 billion
of loans and securities at attractive levels. Our net interest
spread rose 40 bps during the quarter to 2.14%, further evidence
that we are delivering on our mission to add higher-yielding assets
while keeping our cost of funds relatively stable.”
Mr. Knutson continued: “Our Lima One subsidiary originated $584
million of new business purpose loans during the quarter, a 50%
increase over the first quarter. We also acquired $345 million of
Non-QM loans and again added to our Agency RMBS position. Our
emphasis on disciplined underwriting and strong risk management
continues to bear fruit. Delinquencies declined in each of our
credit-sensitive asset classes, and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios
remain quite low. Finally, we again benefited from our $3 billion
interest rate swap position, which generated a net positive carry
of $26 million during the quarter.”
Q2 2023 Portfolio Activity
- Loan acquisitions were $867.7 million, including $523.2 million
of funded originations of business purpose loans (including draws
on Transitional loans) and $344.5 million of Non-QM loan
acquisitions, bringing MFA’s residential whole loan balance to $8.1
billion.
- Lima One funded $390.3 million of new business purpose loans
with a maximum loan amount of $583.9 million. Further, $132.9
million of draws were funded on previously originated Transitional
loans. Lima One generated $11.5 million of origination, servicing,
and other fee income.
- MFA added $108.8 million of Agency MBS during the quarter,
bringing its total Securities portfolio to $594.3 million.
- MFA continued to reduce its REO portfolio, selling 95
properties in the second quarter for aggregate proceeds of $31.7
million and generating $4.0 million of gains.
- 60+ day delinquencies (measured as a percentage of UPB) for
Purchased Performing Loans declined to 2.8% from 3.1% in the first
quarter. Combined Purchased Credit Deteriorated and Purchased
Non-Performing 60+ day delinquencies declined to 27.4% from 30.6%
in the first quarter.
- MFA completed one loan securitization during the quarter,
collateralized by $371.6 million of unpaid principal balance (UPB)
of Non-QM loans, bringing its securitized debt to approximately $4
billion.
- MFA maintained its position in interest rate swaps at a
notional amount of approximately $3.0 billion. At June 30, 2023,
these swaps had a weighted average fixed pay interest rate of 1.58%
and a weighted average variable receive interest rate of
5.09%.
- MFA estimates the net effective duration of its investment
portfolio at June 30, 2023 was 1.19.

1.9x at June 30, 2023.

Includes $3.6 billion of Non-QM
loans, $1.7 billion of Transitional loans, $1.5 billion of
Single-family rental loans, $75.3 million of Seasoned performing
loans, and $58.1 million of Agency eligible investor loans. At June
30, 2023, the total fair value of these loans is estimated to be
$6.9 billion.
(2)
At June 30, 2023, the total fair
value of these loans is estimated to be $447.5 million.
(3)
Includes $329.4 million of cash
and cash equivalents, $174.0 million of restricted cash, and $27.4
million of capital contributions made to loan origination partners,
as well as other assets and other liabilities.
(4)
Total Debt/Net Equity ratio
represents the sum of borrowings under our financing agreements as
a multiple of net equity allocated.
(5)
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 June 30, 2023, the amortized cost of our Securities, at
fair value, was $583.0 million. In addition, the yield for
residential whole loans was 6.08%, net of two basis points of
servicing fee expense incurred during the quarter. For GAAP
reporting purposes, such expenses are included in Loan servicing
and other related operating expenses in our statement of
operations.
(6)
Average cost of funds includes
interest on financing agreements, Convertible Senior Notes and
securitized debt. Cost of funding also includes the impact of the
net carry (the difference between swap interest income received and
swap interest expense paid) on our interest rate swap agreements
(or Swaps). While we have not elected hedge accounting treatment
for Swaps and accordingly net carry is not presented in interest
expense in our consolidated statement of operations, we believe it
is appropriate to allocate net carry to the cost of funding to
reflect the economic impact of our Swaps on the funding costs shown
in the table above. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, this
decreased the overall funding cost by 138 basis points for our
overall portfolio, 144 basis points for our Residential whole
loans, 145 basis points for our Purchased Performing Loans, 206
basis points for our Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans, 87 basis
points for our Purchased Non-Performing Loans and 138 basis points
for our Securities, at fair value.

mortgage asset portfolio for the three months ended June 30,

Reflects annualized interest

the impact of the net carry (the difference between swap interest
income received and swap interest expense paid) on our Swaps. While
we have not elected hedge accounting treatment for Swaps, and,
accordingly, net carry is not presented in interest expense in our

to allocate net carry to the cost of funding to reflect the
economic impact of our Swaps on the funding costs shown in the
table above. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, this decreased
the overall funding cost by 144 basis points for our Residential
whole loans, 145 basis points for our Purchased Performing Loans,
206 basis points for our Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans, and
87 basis points for our Purchased Non-Performing Loans. For the
quarter ended March 31, 2023, this decreased the overall funding
cost by 127 basis points for our Residential whole loans, 129 basis
points for our Purchased Performing Loans, 171 basis points for our
Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans, and 77 basis points for our
Purchased Non-Performing Loans. For the quarter ended June 30,
2022, this increased the overall funding cost by 25 basis points
for our Residential whole loans, 23 basis points for our Purchased
Performing Loans, 43 basis points for our Purchased Credit
Deteriorated Loans, and 29 basis points for our Purchased

As of June 30, 2023 Transitional
loans includes $821.5 million of loans collateralized by
multi-family properties with a weighted average term to maturity of
15 months and a weighted average LTV ratio of 73%.
(2)
Weighted average is calculated
based on the interest bearing principal balance of each loan within
the related category. For loans acquired with servicing rights
released by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation
do not reflect loan servicing fees. For loans acquired with
servicing rights retained by the seller, interest rates included in
the calculation are net of servicing fees.
(3)
LTV represents the ratio of the
total unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated value
of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent
date available, which may be the origination date. For Transitional
loans, the LTV presented is the ratio of the maximum unpaid
principal balance of the loan, including unfunded commitments, to
the estimated “after repaired” value of the collateral securing the
related loan, where available. For certain Transitional loans,
totaling $296.1 million at June 30, 2023, an after repaired
valuation was not obtained and the loan was underwritten based on
an “as is” valuation. The weighted average LTV of these loans based
on the current unpaid principal balance and the valuation obtained
during underwriting, is 69% at June 30, 2023. Excluded from the
calculation of weighted average LTV are certain low value loans
secured by vacant lots, for which the LTV ratio is not meaningful.
60+ LTV has been calculated on a consistent basis.
(4)
Excludes loans for which no Fair
Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score is available.
Table 7 - Shock Table
The information presented in the following “Shock Table”
projects the potential impact of sudden parallel changes in
interest rates on the value of our portfolio, including the impact
of Swaps and securitized debt, based on the assets in our
investment portfolio at June 30, 2023. Changes in portfolio value
are measured as the percentage change when comparing the projected
portfolio value to the base interest rate scenario at June 30,
2023.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to non-GAAP Distributable
Earnings
“Distributable earnings” is a non-GAAP financial measure of our
operating performance, within the meaning of Regulation G and Item
10(e) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Distributable earnings is determined by
adjusting GAAP net income/(loss) by removing certain unrealized
gains and losses, primarily on residential mortgage investments,
associated debt, and hedges that are, in each case, accounted for
at fair value through earnings, certain realized gains and losses,
as well as certain non-cash expenses and securitization-related
transaction costs. Management believes that the adjustments made to
GAAP earnings result in the removal of (i) income or expenses that
are not reflective of the longer term performance of our investment
portfolio, (ii) certain non-cash expenses, and (iii) expense items
required to be recognized solely due to the election of the fair
value option on certain related residential mortgage assets and
associated liabilities. Distributable earnings is one of the
factors that our Board of Directors considers when evaluating
distributions to our shareholders. Accordingly, we believe that the
adjustments to compute Distributable earnings specified below
provide investors and analysts with additional information to
evaluate our financial results.
Distributable earnings should be used in conjunction with
results presented in accordance with GAAP. Distributable earnings
does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for
net income or cash flows from operating activities, each as
determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of this
measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported
by other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our GAAP net
income/(loss) used in the calculation of basic EPS to our non-GAAP
Distributable earnings for the quarterly periods below:

Reconciliation of GAAP Book Value per Common Share to
non-GAAP Economic Book Value per Common Share
“Economic book value” is a non-GAAP financial measure of our
financial position. To calculate our Economic book value, our
portfolios of Residential whole loans and securitized debt held at
carrying value are adjusted to their fair value, rather than the
carrying value that is required to be reported under the GAAP
accounting model applied to these financial instruments. These
adjustments are also reflected in the table below in our end of
period stockholders’ equity. Management considers that Economic
book value provides investors with a useful supplemental measure to
evaluate our financial position as it reflects the impact of fair
value changes for all of our investment activities, 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 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.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our GAAP book
value per common share to our non-GAAP Economic book value per
common share as of the quarterly periods below:

Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this press release or other written or oral
communications, statements that are not historical in nature,
including those containing words such as “will,” “believe,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,”
“should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” the negative of these words or
similar expressions, are intended to identify “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and, as such, may involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking
statements include information about possible or assumed future
results with respect to MFA’s business, financial condition,
liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. Among the
important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements
that we make are: general economic developments and trends and the
performance of the housing, real estate, mortgage finance, broader
financial markets; inflation, increases in interest rates and
changes in the market (i.e., fair) value of MFA’s residential whole
loans, MBS, securitized debt and other assets, as well as changes
in the value of MFA’s liabilities accounted for at fair value
through earnings; the effectiveness of hedging transactions;
changes in the prepayment rates on residential mortgage assets, an
increase of which could result in a reduction of the yield on
certain investments in its portfolio and could require MFA to
reinvest the proceeds received by it as a result of such
prepayments in investments with lower coupons, while a decrease in
which could result in an increase in the interest rate duration of
certain investments in MFA’s portfolio making their valuation more
sensitive to changes in interest rates and could result in lower
forecasted cash flows; credit risks underlying MFA’s assets,
including changes in the default rates and management’s assumptions
regarding default rates on the mortgage loans in MFA’s residential
whole loan portfolio; MFA’s ability to borrow to finance its assets
and the terms, including the cost, maturity and other terms, of any
such borrowings; implementation of or changes in government
regulations or programs affecting MFA’s business; MFA’s estimates
regarding taxable income, the actual amount of which is dependent
on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in
the amount of interest income and financing costs, the method
elected by MFA to accrete the market discount on residential whole
loans and the extent of prepayments, realized losses and changes in
the composition of MFA’s residential whole loan portfolios that may
occur during the applicable tax period, including gain or loss on
any MBS disposals or whole loan modifications, foreclosures and
liquidations; the timing and amount of distributions to
stockholders, which are declared and paid at the discretion of
MFA’s Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things,
MFA’s taxable income, its financial results and overall financial
condition and liquidity, maintenance of its REIT qualification and
such other factors as MFA’s Board of Directors deems relevant;
MFA’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes; MFA’s ability to maintain its exemption from
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(or the “Investment Company Act”), including statements regarding
the concept release issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) relating to interpretive issues under the
Investment Company Act with respect to the status under the
Investment Company Act of certain companies that are engaged in the
business of acquiring mortgages and mortgage-related interests;
MFA’s ability to continue growing its residential whole loan
portfolio, which is dependent on, among other things, the supply of
loans offered for sale in the market; targeted or expected returns
on our investments in recently-originated mortgage loans, the
performance of which is, similar to our other mortgage loan
investments, subject to, among other things, differences in
prepayment risk, credit risk and financing costs associated with
such investments; risks associated with the ongoing operation of
Lima One Holdings, LLC (including, without limitation,
unanticipated expenditures relating to or liabilities arising from
its operation (including, among other things, a failure to realize
management’s assumptions regarding expected growth in business
purpose loan (BPL) origination volumes and credit risks underlying
BPLs, including changes in the default rates and management’s
assumptions regarding default rates on the BPLs originated by Lima
One)); expected returns on MFA’s investments in nonperforming
residential whole loans (“NPLs”), which are affected by, among
other things, the length of time required to foreclose upon, sell,
liquidate or otherwise reach a resolution of the property
underlying the NPL, home price values, amounts advanced to carry
the asset (e.g., taxes, insurance, maintenance expenses, etc. on
the underlying property) and the amount ultimately realized upon
resolution of the asset; risks associated with our investments in
MSR-related assets, including servicing, regulatory and economic
risks; risks associated with our investments in loan originators;
risks associated with investing in real estate assets generally,
including changes in business conditions and the general economy;
and other risks, uncertainties and factors, including those
described in the annual, quarterly and current reports that we file
