Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

ATLANTA, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (NYSE: IVR) (the "Company") today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Update from John Anzalone, Chief Executive Officer

"The Company's financial performance for the second quarter of 2020 continued to be driven by market disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the disruption, we successfully increased liquidity and reduced leverage early in the second quarter through select dispositions of our credit investments. We repaid borrowings totaling $6.9 billion during the quarter.

"As of July 31, 2020, we have reduced our credit assets to $1.1 billion and our secured loans to $305.0 million. Positively, our remaining credit investments benefited from increased investor demand which contributed to book value. We plan to further reduce our exposure to credit assets in the second half of 2020 as the credit markets, which are supported by unprecedented government action, continue to stabilize.

"We have increased our Agency RMBS holdings to $2.2 billion as of July 31, 2020 and remain focused on hedging targeted portfolio risks and maintaining substantial liquidity. We believe the current market environment for Agency RMBS is attractive given a combination of reliable funding at attractive terms and continued support from the Federal Reserve's asset purchase program. We expect our allocation to Agency RMBS to continue to grow as we reduce the size of our credit portfolio."

Key performance indicators for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 are summarized in the table below.

Financial Summary

The Company's financial performance for the second quarter of 2020 continued to be driven by market disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the quarter, the Company received proceeds of $6.9 billion from the sale of securities and repaid $6.3 billion of repurchase agreement borrowings and $610.0 million of secured loans. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2020 of $299.9 million primarily due to a net loss on investments of $306.4 million and expenses of $13.9 million that was partially offset by net interest income of $29.7 million. Book value per common share for the second quarter of 2020 was also negatively impacted by a net loss on investments and declined to $3.17 per share compared to $5.02 in the first quarter of 2020.

Total average assets decreased to $1.9 billion from $17.8 billion in the first quarter of 2020, and total borrowings decreased to $982.0 million from $16.5 billion in the first quarter of 2020. The Company did not have any repurchase agreement borrowings as of June 30, 2020 and reduced its debt-to-equity ratio to 0.6x as of June 30, 2020 compared to 5.4x as of March 31, 2020.

Total expenses for the second quarter of 2020 decreased to approximately $13.9 million compared to $14.1 million for the first quarter of 2020. The Company's management fees declined to $9.8 million from $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 due to its lower equity base, but the decrease was partially offset by fees paid for third-party legal and advisory services in connection with navigating market disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic totaling $1.5 million. The ratio of annualized total expenses to average equity (1) increased to 6.96% compared to 2.47% for the first quarter of 2020 due to lower average stockholders' equity.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company's investment portfolio was $1.6 billion and primarily consisted of non-Agency CMBS and GSE CRT securities. The Company resumed investing in 30 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS specified pools in July 2020 and financed its purchases with repurchase agreements. As of July 31, 2020, the Company had a total investment portfolio, excluding cash, of approximately $3.3 billion consisting of 68% of Agency RMBS, 30% of commercial credit investments and 2% of residential credit investments. Approximately $473 million of the investment portfolio was unencumbered. As of July 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $230.3 million, approximately $89.5 million of which was posted as collateral for derivatives and secured loans. The Company's total debt consisted of $2.1 billion of repurchase agreement borrowings that are collateralized by Agency RMBS and $305.0 million of secured loans that are collateralized by non-Agency CMBS and cash as of July 31, 2020. 

As previously announced, the Company declared the following dividends on June 17, 2020: a common stock dividend of $0.02 per share paid on July 28, 2020 to stockholders of record on July 6, 2020 and a Series A Preferred Stock dividend of $0.4844 per share paid on July 27, 2020 to its stockholders of record as of July 1, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has historically used the following non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating results and believes these financial measures have been useful to investors in assessing the Company's performance as further discussed below:

• core earnings (1) (and by calculation, core earnings per common share),
• effective interest income (and by calculation, effective yield),
• effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds),
• effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin), and
• repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio

The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are:

• net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (and by calculation, basic earnings (loss) per common share),
• total interest income (and by calculation, earning asset yields),
• total interest expense (and by calculation, cost of funds),
• net interest income (and by calculation, net interest rate margin), and
• debt-to-equity ratio

The Company is not presenting core earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 because core earnings excludes the material adverse impact that the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the Company's financial condition. In addition, core earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is not indicative of the reduced earnings potential of the Company's current investment portfolio. The Company intends to resume reporting core earnings when its presentation provides a useful measure of the portfolio's earning capacity.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company's management should be analyzed in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be considered substitutes for U.S. GAAP financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of its peer companies.

Effective Interest Income/ Effective Yield/ Effective Interest Expense/Effective Cost of Funds/Effective Net Interest Income/Effective Interest Rate Margin

The Company calculates effective interest income (and by calculation, effective yield) as U.S. GAAP total interest income adjusted for GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest that is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net. The Company includes its GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest in effective interest income because GSE CRT coupon interest is not accounted for consistently under U.S. GAAP. The Company accounts for GSE CRTs purchased prior to August 24, 2015 as hybrid financial instruments, but has elected the fair value option for GSE CRTs purchased on or after August 24, 2015. Under U.S. GAAP, coupon interest on GSE CRTs accounted for using the fair value option is recorded as interest income, whereas coupon interest on GSE CRTs accounted for as hybrid financial instruments is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss). The Company adds back GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest to its total interest income because the Company considers GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest a current component of its total interest income irrespective of whether the Company has elected the fair value option for the GSE CRT or accounted for the GSE CRT as a hybrid financial instrument.

The Company calculates effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds) as U.S. GAAP total interest expense adjusted for contractual net interest income (expense) on its interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net and the amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps that is recorded as repurchase agreements interest expense. The Company views its interest rate swaps as an economic hedge against increases in future market interest rates on its floating rate borrowings. The Company adds back the net payments it makes on its interest rate swap agreements to its total U.S. GAAP interest expense because the Company uses interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense. The Company excludes the amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps from its calculation of effective interest expense because the Company does not consider the amortization a current component of its borrowing costs.

The Company calculates effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin) as U.S. GAAP net interest income adjusted for contractual net interest income (expense) on its interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps that is recorded as repurchase agreements interest expense and GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest that is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net.

The Company believes the presentation of effective interest income, effective yield, effective interest expense, effective cost of funds, effective net interest income and effective interest rate margin measures, when considered together with U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding the Company's borrowing costs and operating performance.
