Capstead reported net income of $22.7 million or $0.20 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. This compares to net income of $17.5 million or $0.14 per diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The Company paid a first quarter 2017 dividend of $0.21 per common share on April 20, 2017.
First Quarter Earnings and Related Discussion
Capstead is a self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. The Company earns income from investing in a leveraged portfolio of short-duration residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities, referred to as ARM securities, issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises, either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or by an agency of the federal government, Ginnie Mae. This strategy differentiates the Company from its mortgage REIT peers because the ARM loans underlying its investment portfolio reset to more current interest rates within a relatively short period of time. As a result, the Company is positioned to benefit from future recoveries in financing spreads that typically contract during periods of rising interest rates and to experience smaller fluctuations in portfolio values compared to portfolios containing a significant amount of longer-duration ARM or fixed-rate mortgage securities. Duration is a common measure of market price sensitivity to interest rate movements. A shorter duration generally indicates less interest rate risk.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, Capstead reported net interest margins of $24.9 million compared to $20.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net interest margins was largely a result of lower investment premium amortization, due to lower mortgage prepayment rates.
Yields on Capstead’s $13.41 billion residential mortgage investments portfolio averaged 17 basis points higher at 1.67% during the first quarter of 2017, compared to 1.50% reported for the fourth quarter of 2016. Cash yields (yields on the portfolio before investment premium amortization) increased five basis points to average 2.60% during the first quarter, benefiting from mortgage loans underlying the portfolio resetting to higher rates based on higher prevailing six- and 12-month interest rate indices. Yield adjustments for investment premium amortization decreased 12 basis points to average a negative 0.93% for the first quarter as a result of lower mortgage prepayment levels. Mortgage prepayment rates for the first quarter averaged an annualized constant prepayment rate, or CPR, of 22.93% compared to 25.59% CPR reported for the fourth quarter. The following table illustrates the progression of the Company’s portfolio of residential mortgage investments for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

Residential mortgage investments typically are acquired at a premium to the securities’ unpaid principal balances. Investment premiums are recognized in earnings as portfolio yield adjustments using the interest method over the estimated lives of the related investments. As such, the level of mortgage prepayments impacts how quickly investment premiums are amortized. |
|
Rates on Capstead’s $12.29 billion in secured borrowings, after adjusting for hedging activities, averaged four basis points higher at 0.93% during the first quarter of 2017, compared to 0.89% for the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase is largely attributable to market conditions, most notably the Federal Reserve actions to raise the Federal Funds Rate by 25 basis points in mid-December 2016 and again in mid-March 2017. A ten basis point increase in average unhedged secured borrowing rates was partially offset by relatively stable hedging costs, with average hedged borrowing rates increasing one basis point during the quarter. The Company uses two- and three-year term interest rate swap agreements, supplemented with longer-maturity secured borrowings when available at attractive rates and terms, to help mitigate exposure to rising short-term interest rates. Excluding $200 million notional amount of swap agreements that expired April 3, 2017, at quarter-end the Company held $8.30 billion notional amount of portfolio financing-related swap agreements with contract expirations occurring at various dates through the first quarter of 2020 and a weighted average expiration of 14 months.

Operating costs expressed as an annualized percentage of long-term investment capital averaged 0.93% during the first quarter of 2017 (calculated excluding a $938,000 first quarter reduction in annual incentive compensation accruals associated with finalizing the 2016 program results). Capstead is a leader in terms of operating cost efficiency among its mortgage REIT peers.
Long-Term Investment Capital, Portfolio Leverage and Book Value per Common Share
Capstead’s long-term investment capital, which consists of common and perpetual preferred stockholders’ equity and $98 million of long-term unsecured borrowings, increased by $13 million during the first quarter of 2017 to $1.36 billion as a result of swap value improvements and increases in portfolio pricing. Portfolio leverage (secured borrowings divided by long-term investment capital) increased to 9.04 to one at March 31, 2017 from 9.02 to one at December 31, 2016 primarily as a result of an increase in secured borrowings, partially offset by the increase in long-term investment capital. The following table illustrates the progression of the Company’s book value per common share (total stockholders’ equity, less preferred share liquidation preferences, divided by shares of common stock outstanding) as well as changes in book value expressed as percentages of beginning book value for the quarter ended March 31, 2017:

Nearly all of Capstead’s residential mortgage investments and all interest rate swap agreements are reflected at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet and related unrealized gains and losses are included in the calculation of book value per common share. The Company’s borrowings, however, are not reflected at fair value on the balance sheet. Fair value is impacted by market conditions, including changes in interest rates, and the availability of financing at reasonable rates and leverage levels, among other factors.
The Company’s investment strategy attempts to mitigate these risks by focusing on investments in agency-guaranteed residential mortgage pass-through securities, which are considered to have little, if any, credit risk and are collateralized by ARM loans with interest rates that reset periodically to more current levels, generally within five years. Because of these
characteristics, the fair value of the Company’s portfolio is expected to be less vulnerable to

significant pricing declines caused by credit concerns or rising interest rates compared to leveraged portfolios containing a significant amount of non-agency-guaranteed securities or agency-guaranteed securities backed by longer-duration ARM or fixed-rate loans.
Management Remarks
Commenting on current operating and market conditions, Phillip A. Reinsch, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Earnings for the first quarter of 2017 improved considerably over fourth quarter results despite higher prevailing short-term interest rates. From an economic return perspective, improved pricing on our portfolio and on our swap positions contributed $0.14 per share, or 1.3%, to our common book value, which together with our earnings produced an annualized 12.5% economic return during another volatile quarter in the interest rate markets.
“Most of the improvement in earnings over fourth quarter results is attributable to a 10% decline in mortgage prepayment levels, which contributed 12 basis points to our portfolio yields and financing spreads because of lower yield adjustments related to investment premium amortization. Earnings also benefited from the reversal of a portion of our 2016 annual incentive compensation accruals after related performance metrics were finalized late in the first quarter.
“Importantly, earnings and financing spreads have continued benefiting from higher coupon interest rates on mortgage loans underlying our ARM securities portfolio. This key feature of our short duration ARM strategy contributed to a five basis point increase in cash yields during the first quarter that more than offset a modest four basis point increase in secured borrowing rates. Rates on approximately two-thirds of our secured borrowings are effectively fixed for the terms of related interest rate swap agreements under our current hedging program. In addition to helping to protect book value, this prudent use of derivatives is helping to contain the impact on our borrowing costs of two 25 basis point Federal Funds Rate increases in the last four months. We are also continuing to benefit from higher variable-rate swap receipts relative to our unhedged borrowing costs caused by a convergence in short-term LIBOR and rates available in the market for repo financings.
“We believe that given our current opportunity for continued increases in cash yields and our prudent hedging posture, our short duration agency-guaranteed residential ARM portfolio is well positioned to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. Key to our near-term success will be mortgage prepayment levels and the pace of future increases in short-term interest rates.”

Beginning in 2017, exchange-traded swap agreements are deemed to be settled daily in accordance with recent legal interpretations. As a result, the balance sheet reports the fair value of swap agreements held as cash flow hedges of Secured borrowings, including related accrued interest, net of variation margin amounts received or paid through the exchange, resulting in a fair value that approximates zero on a daily basis. Non-exchange traded swap agreements held as cash flow hedges of Unsecured borrowings were not affected by these legal interpretations and continue to be reported at fair value excluding accrued interest and variation margin. At March 31, 2017, Cash collateral receivable from interest rate swap counterparties includes initial margin for all swap agreements and variation margin for non-exchange traded swap agreements. Accrued interest for non-traded swap agreements is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses. This change in presentation has had no further impact on the Company’s accounting for derivatives. |

All interest-earning assets include residential mortgage investments, overnight investments and cash collateral receivable from interest rate swap counterparties. All interest-paying liabilities include unsecured borrowings and cash collateral payable to interest rate swap counterparties. |
|
|
|
(b) |
Cash yields are based on the cash component of interest income. Investment premium amortization is determined using the interest method which incorporates actual and anticipated future mortgage prepayments. Both are expressed as a percentage calculated on average amortized cost basis for the indicated periods. |
|
|
|
(c) |
Unhedged borrowing rates represent average rates on secured borrowings, before consideration of related currently-paying interest rate swap agreements. Hedged borrowing rates represent the average fixed-rate payments made on currently-paying interest rate swap agreements held for portfolio hedging purposes adjusted for differences between LIBOR-based variable-rate payments received on these swaps and unhedged borrowing rates, as well as the effects of any hedge ineffectiveness. Average fixed-rate swap payments were 0.89% for the first quarter of 2017, while the variable-rate payment adjustments equated to 0.07% on average currently-paying swap notional amounts outstanding for the same period. During 2016, fixed-rate swap payments averaged 0.74% while variable-rate payment adjustments averaged 0.20% on average notional amounts outstanding. |

Financing spreads on residential mortgage investments, a non-GAAP financial measure, differ from total financing spreads, an all-inclusive GAAP measure, that is based on all interest-earning assets and all interest-paying liabilities. Management believes that presenting financing spreads on residential mortgage investments provides useful information for evaluating the performance of the Company’s portfolio. The following reconciles these two measures:

(a) |
Unrealized gains and losses on residential mortgage securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in Stockholders’ equity. Gains or losses are generally recognized in earnings only if sold. Residential mortgage securities classified as held-to-maturity with a cost basis of $2 million and unsecuritized investments in residential mortgage loans with a cost basis of $2 million are not subject to fair value accounting and therefore have been excluded from this analysis. Capstead segregates its residential ARM securities based on the average length of time until the loans underlying each security reset to more current rates. |
|
|
|
(b) |
To help mitigate exposure to higher interest rates, Capstead uses one-month LIBOR-indexed, pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreements supplemented with longer-maturity secured borrowings when available at attractive rates and terms. The Company has also entered into $100 million notional amount of swap agreements with terms coinciding with the 20-year variable-rate terms of the Company’s unsecured borrowings. Swap positions are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and carried on the balance sheet at fair value with related unrealized gains or losses reflected as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in Stockholders’ equity. Related hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in Interest expense. Above amounts exclude variation margin and accrued interest. |
|
The following reflects Capstead’s portfolio financing-related swap positions, sorted by quarter of swap contract expiration. Average fixed rates reflect related swap fixed-rate payment requirements and exclude adjustments for hedge ineffectiveness and differences between LIBOR-based variable payments received on these swaps.

After consideration of portfolio financing-related swap positions, Capstead’s residential mortgage investments and related secured borrowings had durations as of March 31, 2017 of approximately 11½ and 9½ months, respectively, for a net duration gap of approximately 2 months. Duration is a measure of market price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. A shorter duration generally indicates less interest rate risk.

(a) |
Amortized cost basis represents the Company’s investment (unpaid principal balance plus unamortized investment premiums) before unrealized gains and losses. At March 31, 2017, the ratio of amortized cost basis to unpaid principal balance for the Company’s ARM holdings was 103.17. This table excludes $3 million in fixed-rate agency-guaranteed mortgage pass-through securities, residential mortgage loans and private residential mortgage pass-through securities held as collateral for structured financings. |
|
|
|
(b) |
Net WAC, or weighted average coupon, is the weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loans underlying the indicated investments, net of servicing and other fees as of the indicated date. Net WAC is expressed as a percentage calculated on an annualized basis on the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans underlying these investments. As such, it is similar to the cash yield on the portfolio which is calculated using amortized cost basis. Fully indexed WAC represents the weighted average coupon upon one or more resets using interest rate indexes and net margins as of the indicated date. Average net margins represent the weighted average levels over the underlying indexes that the portfolio can adjust to upon reset, usually subject to initial, periodic and/or lifetime caps on the amount of such adjustments during any single interest rate adjustment period and over the contractual term of the underlying loans. ARM securities with initial fixed-rate periods of five years or longer typically have either 200 or 500 basis point initial caps with 200 basis point periodic caps. Additionally, certain ARM securities held by the Company are subject only to lifetime caps or are not subject to a cap. For presentation purposes, average periodic caps in the table above reflect initial caps until after an ARM security has reached its initial reset date and lifetime caps, less the current net WAC, for ARM securities subject only to lifetime caps. At quarter-end, 79% of current-reset ARMs were subject to periodic caps averaging 1.74%; 13% were subject to initial caps averaging 3.44%; 7% were subject to lifetime caps averaging 7.34%; and 1% were not subject to a cap. All longer-to-reset ARM securities at March 31, 2017 were subject to initial caps. |
|
|
|
(c) |
Capstead classifies its ARM securities based on the average length of time until the loans underlying each security reset to more current rates (“months-to-roll”) (less than 18 months for “current-reset” ARM securities, and 18 months or greater for “longer-to-reset” ARM securities). After consideration of any applicable initial fixed-rate periods, at March 31, 2017 approximately 90%, 6% and 4% of the Company’s ARM securities were backed by mortgage loans that reset annually, semi-annually and monthly, respectively. Approximately 87% of the Company’s current-reset ARM securities have reached an initial coupon reset date, while none of its longer-to-reset ARM securities have reached an initial coupon reset date. |
|
|
|
(d) |
Gross WAC is the weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loans underlying the indicated investments, including servicing and other fees paid by borrowers, as of the indicated balance sheet date. |
