Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Company demonstrates impact of growth strategy with expansion of net interest margin accompanied by further reductions in operating expenses

Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. (NYSE: AOMR) (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”), a leading real estate finance company focused on acquiring and investing in first lien non-QM loans and other mortgage-related assets in the U.S. mortgage market, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Q3 2023 GAAP net income of $8.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share of common stock.
  • Q3 2023 Distributable Earnings of $(8.6) million, or $(0.35) per diluted share of common stock.
  • GAAP book value of $9.29 per share of common stock as of September 30, 2023.
  • Economic book value of $13.20 per share of common stock as of September 30, 2023.
  • Declared dividend of $0.32 per share of common stock, payable on November 30, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of November 22, 2023.

“We are proud of our third quarter results, which showcased the impact of our growth strategy that we discussed in last quarter’s earnings call. The benefits of our purchases of newly-originated, current-market coupon loans, securitization activity, and debt facility optimization are reflected in our 14.8% net interest margin growth versus the second quarter,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Chief Executive Officer and President of Angel Oak Mortgage REIT. “We made additional progress on the expense side of the income statement, reducing operating expenses excluding securitization costs by 12.5% versus the second quarter. Going forward, we remain focused on growing the earnings power of our portfolio while maintaining our strong liquidity position. As such, we plan to continue the selective acquisition of high-quality, current-market coupon loans, participate in strategic securitizations, and manage expenses, allowing us to generate increasingly attractive returns for our shareholders.”

Third Quarter Portfolio and Investment Activity

  • The weighted average coupon rate of AOMR’s whole loan portfolio was 5.83% as of September 30, 2023, a 99 basis point improvement versus June 30, 2023. Including loans purchased and committed for purchase since September 30, 2023, the weighted average coupon rate of the whole loan portfolio is 6.37% as of November 6, 2023, reflecting an additional increase of 54 basis points.

Capital Markets Activity

  • Participated in the AOMT 2023-5 securitization, contributing loans with a scheduled unpaid principal balance of $93.8 million.
  • As of September 30, 2023, the Company was party to three financing lines which permit borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $859 million.
  • Our total financing capacity as of September 30, 2023 stands at $859 million of which approximately $198 million is drawn, leaving capacity of approximately $661 million for new loan purchases.

Balance Sheet

  • Target assets totaled $2.1 billion as of September 30, 2023.
  • Held residential mortgage whole loans with fair value of $284.4 million as of September 30, 2023.
  • Recourse debt to equity ratio was 1.7x as of September 30, 2023. As of today’s date, our recourse debt to equity ratio was 1.0x, reflecting the maturity of US Treasuries and their corresponding repurchase agreements on October 12, 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.
