Q4 2015 Results
Core Income, Including Drop Income
Core Income, including drop income, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was approximately $3.5 million. “Core Income” represents a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income excluding impairment losses, gains or losses on sales of securities and early termination of derivatives, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and certain non-recurring expenses, inclusive of drop income. Core Income may differ from GAAP net income, which includes the unrealized gains or losses of the Company’s derivative instruments and the gains or losses on Agency Securities and Non-Agency Securities.

The Company may enter into to be announced (“TBA”) dollar roll transactions that generate “drop income.” Drop income is defined as the difference in price between two TBA contracts with the same terms but different settlement dates. Drop income is the economic equivalent of the assumed net interest spread (yield less financing costs) and is calculated as the difference between the spot price for regular settlement and the forward settlement price on trade date.
GAAP Net Income
For the purposes of computing GAAP net income, the change in fair value of the Company’s derivatives is reflected in current period net income, while the change in fair value of its Agency Securities is reflected in its statement of comprehensive income (loss). GAAP net income for Q4 2015 was approximately $5.2 million.
Dividends
The Company paid dividends of $0.09 per Common share of record for each month of Q4 2015, resulting in payments of approximately $3.2 million. The Company had estimated ordinary taxable REIT income available to pay dividends of $2.8 million in Q4 2015. Our board of directors determines our Common share dividend rate based upon our REIT requirements and other relevant considerations. Dividends in excess of taxable REIT income for the year (including any amounts carried forward from prior years) will generally be treated as non-taxable return of capital to Common stockholders. Approximately 19.5% of Common dividends paid in 2015 represented a non-taxable return of capital.
Portfolio
As of December 31, 2015, the Company's Agency Securities portfolio consisted of fixed rate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage securities valued at approximately $0.6 billion on a trade date basis. The Company's Non-Agency Securities portfolio was valued at $0.2 billion at quarter end. During Q4 2015, the annualized yield on average assets was 3.46%, and the annualized cost of funds on average liabilities (including realized cost of hedges) was 1.35%, resulting in a net interest margin of 2.11%.
Portfolio Financing, Leverage and Interest Rate Hedges
As of December 31, 2015, the Company financed its portfolio with approximately $0.8 billion of borrowings under repurchase agreements. The Company's leverage ratio was 6.69 to 1 (7.06 to 1, including TBA Agency Securities purchased forward). As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s liquidity totaled $25.0 million, consisting of $16.0 million of cash plus approximately $9.0 million of unpledged Securities (including Securities received as collateral). As of December 31, 2015, the Company's repurchase Agreements had a weighted average maturity of approximately 24 days.
The Company had a hedge ratio of 76.0% based on a notional amount of $571.3 million (of which $300.0 million become effective within six months) of various maturities of interest rate swap contracts with a weighted average swap rate of 1.64%.
Regulation G Reconciliation
Core Income represents a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income excluding impairment losses, gains or losses on sales of securities and early termination of derivatives, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and U.S. Treasury Securities and certain other non-recurring expenses, inclusive of drop income. The Company believes that Core Income is useful to investors because it is related to the amount of dividends the Company may distribute. However, because Core Income is an incomplete measure of the Company’s
