New York Mortgage Trust Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Results

NEW YORK, NY – March 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: NYMT) (“NYMT” or the “Company”) today reported results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

Summary of Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011:

·
GAAP net loss per common share of $0.16 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and GAAP net income per common share of $0.46 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

·
Net income per common share, excluding termination of management contract and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities and related hedges associated with Agency IO investments, of $0.10 and $1.58 for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company provides these adjusted net income results to exclude a one-time fee of $2.2 million related to the termination of a management contract and unrealized gains and losses associated with its Agency IO investments and related hedges, which management believes are non-recurring or not indicative of the Company’s core operating results.

·
Declared fourth quarter dividend of $0.35 per common share, including a $0.10 special dividend that was paid on January 25, 2012, resulting in total dividends of $1.00 per common share declared for the year ended December 31, 2011.

·
Book value per common share of $6.12 as of December 31, 2011, down from book value per common share of $6.75 at September 30, 2011, due in significant part to widening credit spreads and elevated market uncertainty with respect to prepayment speeds and global liquidity during the 2011 fourth quarter that caused a decline in the market values of the Company’s collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and multi-family CMBS. Based on the fair market values for the multi-family CMBS and CLOs at February 29, 2012, management has determined that the market values for our CLOs and multi-family CMBS have improved from their market values at December 31, 2011, and estimates that the recovery in their market values as of February 29, 2012 would add approximately $0.33 per share to the December 31, 2011 book value per share.
 
 
 

 
 
·
The Company invested $36.6 million during the 2011 fourth quarter in multi-family commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) comprised of certain Freddie Mac K series first loss securities and an interest only security bringing the total investment in the multi-family CMBS sector to $41.2 million.

·
Recorded a one-time $2.2 million charge during the 2011 fourth quarter related to termination of advisory agreement with Harvest Capital Strategies LLC (“HCS”), which is expected to eliminate approximately $1.0 million of general and administrative expenses in 2012 and future years.

Company Overview

NYMT is a REIT in the business of acquiring, investing in, financing and managing primarily mortgage-related assets and, to a lesser extent, financial assets.  Since 2009, the Company has endeavored to build a diversified investment portfolio that includes elements of interest rate and credit risk, believing that a portfolio diversified among interest rate and credit risks is best suited to delivering stable dividend income flows over various economic cycles. Starting in 2011, the Company began to refine its investment focus from one focused on a broad class of alternative assets sponsored by HCS to an investment strategy focused on residential and multi-family loans and securities. The Company began targeting in 2011, and continues to target today, investments in multi-family CMBS and residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) representing interests in or obligations backed by pools of mortgage loans issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae (“Agency RMBS”), including interest only and inverse interest only securities (collectively, “Agency IOs”) and Agency RMBS backed by adjustable-rate or hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage loans (“Agency ARMs”). The Company has engaged RiverBanc, LLC and The Midway Group, L.P. to provide investment management services to the Company with respect to its investments in multi-family CMBS and Agency IOs, respectively.

Management Overview

Steven Mumma, NYMT’s CEO and President, commented, “Similar to the prior quarter, the credit and financial markets experienced significant volatility and uncertainty during the 2011 fourth quarter. This resulted in a widening of credit spreads in December that placed downward pressure on the market values of certain of the Company’s securities, including its CLOs and multi-family CMBS. In addition, continued uncertainty surrounding the impact of certain government sponsored mortgage assistance programs such as HARP II has caused continued pricing pressure on the Company’s Agency IO positions and related hedges resulting in unrealized gains and losses. These factors, combined with the one-time charge associated with the Company’s termination of management contract and the accrual for the $0.10 per share special dividend in December, contributed to the decrease in book value at year end. Although these factors have negatively impacted our GAAP net income and book value in recent quarters, the Company’s portfolio has continued to post strong net interest income results, generating $5.4 million in the 2011 fourth quarter. Moreover, management believes that some of the factors contributing to the decline in book value have started to reverse, as evidenced by the partial recovery in market values for our multi-family CMBS and CLOs by approximately $0.33 per share (discussed above), and others, such as the unrealized losses impacting our IO strategy, will recover over time as government programs play out.
With the Company’s investment focus moving away from alternative assets in 2011 to a strategy focused on residential and multi-family loans and securities, the 2011 fourth quarter also marked the end of the Company’s advisory relationship with HCS. HCS and JMP Group were instrumental in rebuilding the Company starting in 2008 and we remain grateful to them for their assistance and counsel. While the one-time termination fee recorded by the Company negatively impacted GAAP net income for the 2011 fourth quarter, ongoing expenses will be reduced by approximately $1.0 million per year.

Finally, during the 2011 fourth quarter, the Company continued to build out its portfolio of multi-family CMBS, using net proceeds from its public offering of common stock during the quarter, working capital and short term borrowings to invest approximately $36.6 million in certain Freddie Mac Multifamily Loan Securitization Series’ assets, bringing the Company’s total investment in this sector to $41.2 million. The Company believes it is well positioned with seasoned investment managers, a focused residential strategy and an investment pipeline that it expects will produce solid returns in 2012.”

Results from Operations
 
For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company reported consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.9 million, or $0.16 per common share, as compared to consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.0 million, or $0.11 per common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The decline in net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily due to realized and unrealized losses on investment securities and related hedges associated with Agency IOs of $2.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to realized and unrealized gains on investment securities and related hedges associated with Agency IOs of $1.4 million and $0, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, the Company took a one time charge of $2.2 million related to the termination of its advisory agreement with HCS.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company reported consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders of $4.8 million, or $0.46 per common share, as compared to $6.8 million, or $0.72 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in full year 2011 earnings as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily a result of a net unrealized loss of $9.7 million on investment securities and related hedges associated with the Company’s investments in Agency IOs, partially offset by realized gains of $4.7 million on the sale of certain CLO notes during 2011. Because of the hedging strategy employed by the Company with respect to its Agency IOs, unrealized gains and losses are not designated for hedge accounting treatment, and therefore are directly run through the Company’s income statement. Similar to the fourth quarter of 2011, full year 2011 net income was also impacted by the one-time charge of $2.2 million related to the termination of the advisory agreement with HCS.

Although the realized and unrealized losses contributed to the Company’s decline in net income for the 2011 fourth quarter, the Company’s investment portfolio continued to post strong net interest income results, generating $5.4 million in net interest income in the 2011 fourth quarter, which represents a 176% improvement over net interest income for the same period of 2010. The increase in net interest income during the 2011 fourth quarter as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily driven by a 320 basis point increase in net interest income spread which was mainly due to the performance of the Company’s Agency IOs and its investments in the multi-family CMBS.
 
For the full year 2011, the Company’s net interest income reached record levels at $19.5 million, an increase of $9.2 million, which represents an 89% improvement over net interest income from the previous year. The increase in net interest income for the 2011 year as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily driven by a 281 basis point increase in net interest income spread which was mainly due to the performance of the Company’s Agency IOs and multi-family CMBS, as well as the repayment of $20.0 million of convertible preferred debentures on December 31, 2010 which had an interest rate of 10%.
 
As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s book value per common share was $6.12, down from $6.75 at September 30, 2011 and $7.27 at December 31, 2010.  The decrease since September 30, 2011 is due in part to the unrealized losses in our credit sensitive securities of approximately $0.11 per share, the net loss for the fourth quarter of $0.16 per share and dividends of $0.35 per share. The decline in book value since December 31, 2010 is due in part to unrealized losses on CLO notes of approximately $0.41 per share and unrealized losses on multi-family CMBS of approximately $0.07 per share, each due primarily to widening credit spreads, and unrealized losses associated with our Agency IOs and related hedges of approximately $0.69 per share. Unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s CLOs are run through the balance sheet and as a result, directly impact stockholders’ equity and book value per share. As of December 31, 2011, since the inception of our investment in these securities, our CLOs have generated realized gains of $4.7 million and unrealized gains of $12.5 million. While unrealized losses associated with the Company’s Agency IOs and related hedges are run through the income statement, they do impact the Company’s book value per share through retained earnings.
 
The realized and unrealized losses discussed above, that contributed to lower net income and book value per common share as of and for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2011, were negatively impacted as a result of a confluence of several factors, including (i) a historical rally in U.S. Treasuries during the year leading to the lowest yield ever on the 10-year Treasury note, which contributed to perceived higher future prepayment experience for the Company’s IOs, (ii) continued uncertainty and concerns of systemic risk related to the European sovereign debt crisis, and (iii) uncertainty resulting from the implementation of the updated rules regarding the Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP” and, as updated for the new rules, “HARP II”), with the intent of increasing significantly the number of homeowners eligible to refinance their mortgage under this program and thus, further elevating fears of higher prepayment speeds. Each of these factors contributed to a significant widening of credit spreads and global market uncertainty during the second half of 2011, which in turn, negatively impacted the pricing of our CLOs, Agency IOs and multi-family CMBS at December 31, 2011. However, while the markets anticipated an escalation in prepayment speeds, the Company’s actual prepayment experience during the last four months have not indicated significant increases in speeds, although management anticipates prepayment speeds increasing in the near term.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $206.9 million of loans held in securitization trusts (net) permanently financed with $199.8 million of collateralized debt obligations.  As of December 31, 2011, delinquencies greater than 60 days on loans held in securitization trusts represented 9.79% of the loan portfolio.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had reserves totaling $3.3 million for loan losses. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s balance sheet included three real estate owned properties totaling $0.5 million.

Federal Housing Finance Agency HARP II program

In November, the U.S. Government announced details of HARP II, which is a program designed to assist borrowers who are current with their mortgage payments but are unable to refinance due to property valuation ratios.  HARP II will target homeowners who did not participate in the original version of HARP and whose mortgages were originated prior to May 31, 2009.  The following table summarizes the investment securities in our portfolio that contain mortgages which are eligible for refinancing and thus may be prepaid under HARP II given the parameters of the program.

HARP II Eligible Agency RMBS (Collateralized by loans originated prior to June 2009)

   
Weighted Average Coupon (“WAC”) of Underlying Loans
 
   
< 4.0%

Agency IOs
    -       -       -     $ 4,261     $ 11,211  

The Company does not believe securities backed by loans with WAC’s less the 4.0% are at risk to the HARP II program as the borrower has minimal rate incentive.  In addition, the Agency ARMs with coupons greater than 5.5% have an average coupon reset period of 12 months where the projected new coupon would be approximately 3.4%.
