“Having completed our first full year as a public company, we are pleased to have delivered a 41% Economic Return to our shareholders,” commented Malon Wilkus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, American Capital Mortgage. “We prepared for the possibility of QE3 and positioned the portfolio appropriately, allocating more capital to assets less affected by QE3, with more upside to a potential housing recovery.”
"We feel good about American Capital Mortgage's 2012 results as we were able to generate $8.47 per share of value for our shareholders through the combination of both dividends and book value growth,” said Gary Kain, President and Chief Investment Officer. “As importantly, we accomplished this while maintaining a conservative approach to asset selection, hedging, and use of leverage on the non-agency side of the portfolio. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we produced $1.43 per share of economic return despite the weakness in agency MBS during the quarter, and we grew our estimated undistributed taxable income to $1.17 per share, or $41.9 million at year end. Additionally, our balanced portfolio should allow us to continue to generate attractive returns across a range of different market conditions and also take advantage of favorable financing opportunities on the agency side of the business.”
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's investment portfolio totaled $7.0 billion of agency and non-agency securities, at fair value, comprised of $6.4 billion of fixed-rate agency securities and $681.4 million of non-agency securities. As of December 31, 2012, the Company's investment portfolio was comprised of 31% 15-year fixed-rate agency securities, 2% 20-year fixed-rate agency securities, 57% 30-year fixed-rate agency securities and 10% non-agency securities.
AGENCY CONSTANT PREPAYMENT RATES
The actual CPR for the Company's agency portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2012 was 6.5%, compared to 6.7% during the third quarter of 2012. The CPR published in January 2013 for the Company's agency

portfolio held as of December 31, 2012 was 6.3%, and the weighted average projected CPR for the remaining life of the Company's agency investments held as of December 31, 2012 was 9.3%.
The Company amortizes and accretes premiums and discounts associated with purchases of agency securities into interest income over the estimated life of such securities based on actual and projected CPRs using the effective yield method. The amortization of premiums (net of any accretion of discounts) on the agency portfolio for the quarter was $9.1 million, or $0.25 per share. The weighted average cost basis of the agency portfolio was 105.5% and the unamortized agency net premium was $325.1 million as of December 31, 2012. As such, before considering any impact of hedging, slower actual and projected prepayments can have a meaningful positive impact, while faster actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful negative impact on the Company's agency asset yields.
NON-AGENCY DISCOUNT ACCRETION
The weighted average cost basis of the non-agency portfolio was 59% of par as of both December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012. Discount accretion was $5.8 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The total net discount remaining was $429.2 million and $361.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively, with $300.4 million and $256.1 million designated as credit reserves as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012.
ASSET YIELDS, COST OF FUNDS AND NET INTEREST RATE SPREAD
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's weighted average net interest rate spread was 1.88%, which was down 2 bps from 1.90% as of September 30, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the weighted average yield on the Company's interest earning assets was 2.91%, up 11 bps from 2.80% as of September 30, 2012, while weighted average cost of funds was 1.03%, up 13 bps from 0.90% as of September 30, 2012.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the annualized weighted average yield on the Company's investments was 3.08% and its annualized weighted average cost of funds was 1.01%, resulting in a weighted average net interest rate spread of 2.07%. This fourth quarter weighted average net interest spread increased 27 bps from the 1.80% average net interest spread during the third quarter, as a 32 bps increase in average assets yields was partially offset by a 5 bps increase in average cost of funds.
LEVERAGE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had repurchase agreements outstanding of $6.2 billion, resulting in a leverage ratio of 6.7x. Average leverage during the quarter of 6.4x is calculated as the daily weighted average repurchase agreement balance outstanding divided by the average month-ended shareholders' equity for the period.
The $6.2 billion borrowed under repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2012 had original maturities consisting of:
• | $0.2 billion of one month or less; |
• | $1.4 billion between one and two months; |
• | $1.7 billion between two and three months; |
• | $2.3 billion between three and six months; and |
• | $0.6 billion greater than six months. |

The Company decreased the weighted average original maturity of its repurchase agreements to 87 days as of December 31, 2012, from 101 days as of September 30, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Company's repurchase agreements had a weighted average remaining days to maturity of 50 days, a decrease from 60 days as of September 30, 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had repurchase agreements with 29 financial institutions and less than 8% of the Company's equity at risk was with any one counterparty, with the top five counterparties representing less than 26% of the Company's equity at risk.
The Company's interest rate swap positions as of December 31, 2012 totaled $2.9 billion in notional amount (including $50 million of forward starting swaps commencing April 2013) at a weighted average fixed pay rate of 1.33%, a weighted average receive rate of 0.32% and a weighted average maturity of 5.5 years. The Company enters into interest rate swaps with longer maturities with the intention of protecting its net book value and longer term earnings potential.
The Company also utilizes interest rate swaptions to mitigate the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2012, the Company held payer swaption contracts with a total notional amount of $1.2 billion and a weighted average expiration of 2.4 years. These swaptions have an underlying weighted average interest rate swap term of 7.9 years, with a weighted average pay rate of 3.12%.
In addition to interest rate swaps and swaptions, the Company held net short positions in U.S. Treasury securities with a face amount of $0.4 billion and a net short position in “to-be-announced” mortgage securities (“TBA's”) with a face amount of $0.5 billion as of December 31, 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, 80% of the Company's repurchase agreement balance was hedged through interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, and net short positions in U.S. Treasury securities and TBA's.
OTHER GAINS (LOSSES), NET
The Company has elected to record all investments at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded in current GAAP earnings as other gains (losses). In addition, the Company has not designated any derivatives as hedges for GAAP accounting purposes and therefore all changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in current GAAP earnings as other gains (losses).
During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded $14.2 million in other gains, net, or $0.39 per share. Other gains, net, for the quarter are comprised of:
• | $27.0 million of net realized gain on agency securities; |
• | $0.8 million of net realized gain on non-agency securities; |
• | $(41.5) million of net unrealized loss on agency securities; |
• | $29.8 million of net unrealized gain on non-agency securities; |
• | $(6.7) million in realized loss on periodic settlements of interest rate swaps; |
• | $(0.8) million of net realized loss on other derivatives and securities; and |
• | $5.6 million of net unrealized gain on other derivatives and securities. |
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on other derivatives and securities include the Company's interest rate swaps and swaptions and short or long positions in TBA's and treasury securities, which the Company uses to help manage its risk position.

ESTIMATED TAXABLE INCOME
Taxable income for the quarter is estimated at $1.53 per share. The primary differences between tax and GAAP net income are (i) unrealized gains and losses associated with investment and derivative portfolios marked-to-market in current income for GAAP purposes but excluded from taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) temporary differences related to amortization of net premiums paid on investments and (iii) timing differences in the recognition of certain realized gains and losses.
NET BOOK VALUE
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's net book value per share was $25.74, or $0.53 per share higher than the net book value per share of $25.21 as of September 30, 2012. During November 2012, the Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of common stock at an average net repurchase price of $22.76 per share. These share repurchases at prices below net book value resulted in a $0.02 per share accretion in net book value.
FOURTH QUARTER 2012 DIVIDEND DECLARATION
On December 14, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.90 per share paid on January 28, 2013, to common stockholders of record as of December 27, 2012. Since the August 2011 initial public offering, the Company has declared and paid a total of $116.7 million in dividends, or $4.60 per share.

* | Average numbers for the each period are weighted based on days on the Company's books and records. All percentages are annualized. |
(1) | If the Company purchases investment securities and finances the purchase with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty that is entered into simultaneously or in contemplation of the purchase, the purchase commitment and repurchase agreement are recorded net for GAAP purposes on the financial statements as a derivative (“Linked Transaction”). As of December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company had no Linked Transactions. Fair value of non-agency securities includes $52 million of non-agency securities and $36 million of repurchase agreement financing recorded as Linked Transactions as of March 31, 2012. |
(2) | Weighted average coupon and asset yields include securities classified as Linked Transactions on the consolidated balance sheet. |
(3) | Weighted average cost of funds includes interest expense on repurchase agreements underlying Linked Transactions and periodic settlements of interest rate swaps. |
(4) | Leverage during the period was calculated by dividing the Company's daily weighted average repurchase agreements (including those related to Linked Transactions), for the period by the Company's average month-ended stockholders' equity for the period. |

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
American Capital Mortgage Investment Corp.
February 8, 2013
Page 12
This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates, changes in the yield curve, changes in prepayment rates, the availability and terms of financing, changes in the market value of our assets, general economic conditions, market conditions, conditions in the market for agency and non-agency securities and mortgage related investments, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Copies are available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt or new information, or otherwise.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial information, including net spread income, estimated taxable income and certain financial metrics derived from non-GAAP information, such as estimated undistributed taxable income, which the Company's management uses in its internal analysis of results, and believes may be informative to investors.
GAAP interest income does not include interest earned on non-agency securities underlying our Linked Transactions, and GAAP interest expense does not include either interest related to repurchase agreements underlying our Linked Transactions, or periodic settlements associated with undesignated interest rate swaps. Interest income and expense related to Linked Transactions is reported within unrealized loss and net interest income on linked transactions, net and periodic interest settlements associated with undesignated interest rate swaps are reported in realized gain (loss) on periodic settlements of interest rate swaps on our consolidated statement of operations. As we believe that these items are beneficial to the understanding of our investment performance, we provide a non-GAAP measure called adjusted net interest income, which is comprised of net interest income plus the net interest income related to Linked Transactions, less net periodic settlements of interest rates swaps. Additionally, we present net spread income as a measure of our operating performance. Net spread income is comprised of adjusted net interest income, less total operating expenses. Net spread income excludes all unrealized gains or losses due to changes in fair value, realized gains or losses on sales of securities, realized losses associated with derivative instruments and income taxes.
Estimated taxable income is pre-tax income calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code rather than GAAP. Estimated taxable income differs from GAAP income because of both temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition. Examples include (i) temporary differences for unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and investment securities recognized in current income for GAAP but excluded from estimated taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) temporary differences related to the amortization of premiums and discounts paid on investments, and (iii) timing differences in the recognition of certain realized gains and losses. Furthermore, taxable income can include certain estimated information and is subject to potential adjustments up to the time of filing of the appropriate tax returns, which occurs after the end of the calendar year of the Company.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors because net spread income is a financial metric used by management and investors and estimated taxable
American Capital Mortgage Investment Corp.

income is directly related to the amount of dividends the Company is required to distribute in order to maintain its REIT tax qualification status.
The Company also believes that providing investors with our net spread income, estimated taxable income and certain financial metrics derived from such non-GAAP financial information, in addition to the related GAAP measures, gives investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. However, because net spread income and estimated taxable income are incomplete measures of the Company's financial performance and involve differences from net income computed in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of net spread income and estimated taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
