NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sutherland Asset Management Corporation (NYSE: SLD) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. On October 31, 2016, Sutherland Asset Management Corporation, a private mortgage REIT ("Sutherland"), merged with and into a subsidiary of ZAIS Financial Corp. (the "Merger"), with ZAIS Financial Corp. surviving the merger and changing its name to Sutherland Asset Management Corporation (the "Company"), as described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 4, 2016. The Company today reported financial results of Sutherland for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. ZAIS Financial Corp. separately reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 on October 25, 2016 in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on such date.
Third Quarter Highlights:
- Core earnings of $10.1 million, or $0.30 per share of common stock
- Net income of $9.6 million, or $0.28 per share of common stock
- Declared dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock. Total dividends declared year-to-date represent a 9.9% annualized dividend yield based on December 31, 2015 book value per share of common stock
- Net Book Value of $14.38 per share of common stock as of September 30, 2016
- Completed merger with ZAIS Financial Corp on October 31, 2016 increasing the Company's stockholders' equity to approximately $561 million and delivering liquidity to stockholder base

A summary of Sutherland's operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 is presented below. Sutherland reported U.S. GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $9.6 million, or $0.28 per share of common stock, and Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $10.1 million, or $0.30 per share of common stock. Sutherland previously announced a dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock and operating partnership unit ("OP unit").
The Company issued a full detailed presentation of its third quarter 2016 results, which can be viewed at www.sutherlandam.com.
Common Dividend
The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock and OP unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to common stockholders and OP unit holders of record as of October 14, 2016. The dividend was paid on October 25, 2016.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), this press release includes Core Earnings which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Core Earnings as net income adjusted for unrealized gains (losses) related to mortgage backed securities and non-recurring expenses.
The Company believes that providing investors with this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, in addition to the related U.S. GAAP measures, gives investors greater transparency into the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. However, because Core Earnings is an incomplete measure of the Company's financial performance and involves differences from net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, the Company's net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of Core Earnings may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
The following table reconciles net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Core Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2016:
