ARLINGTON, Va., April 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Arlington Asset Investment Corp. (NYSE: AI) (the "Company") today reported core operating income of $18.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, or $2.41 per share (diluted).  On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $19.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, or $2.58 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $8.0 million, or $1.03 per share (diluted), for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and $4.6 million, or $0.59 per share (diluted), for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company's book value per share was $28.52.  

"The Company made solid progress during the first quarter, achieving strong overall results, a 23% increase in net interest income from the prior quarter, $11 million in net realized gains and a 25% dividend increase from the prior quarter primarily driven by the partial reallocation of its capital from reflated private-label MBS to hedged agency MBS.  We expect earnings in future periods to benefit from MBS investments made late in the first quarter of 2011 and to date in the second quarter," said J. Rock Tonkel, Jr., President and Chief Operating Officer.  "Finally, as Arlington's core operating income substantially exceeded the dividend again this quarter, the Company has considerable flexibility in the use of that capital for reinvestment and/or dividend growth going forward."

Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company sold private-label MBS with a current face value of approximately $14.9 million generating $8.1 million in proceeds and $1.2 million in net gains.  As of April 27, 2011, the Company's private-label MBS portfolio had a face value of $300.5 million comprised of $14.2 million senior securities and $286.3 million re-REMIC securities.  Agency MBS as of April 27, 2011 had a cost basis of $654.7 million and a face value of $639.9 million, including agency MBS purchases that have not yet settled.  

Going forward the Company expects to migrate additional capital from reflated private-label MBS to higher return alternatives with the potential to realize gains from current embedded appreciation as well as potential future reflation in that portfolio.  With attractive investment opportunities available today in both agency MBS and private-label MBS, the Company continues to be optimistic about its potential to realize future growth in earnings and book value from internal capital.  

First Quarter Highlights

Prices for certain of the Company's private-label MBS reflated significantly during 2010 and loss-adjusted yields in those assets declined accordingly.  As a result, in the first quarter of 2011 the Company sold private-label MBS with a face value of $88.8 million realizing net gains on sales of private-label MBS of $10.7 million.  Private-label MBS sales during the quarter generated $62.0 million of capital and were comprised primarily of lower yielding senior securities.  Proceeds were redeployed primarily into hedged agency MBS on a leveraged basis that we expect will generate increased returns on the redeployed capital.  

As of March 31, 2011, our private-label MBS portfolio consisted of $306.6 million in face value with an amortized cost basis of $148.0 million and fair value of $201.3 million.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized net interest income of $8.6 million, representing a 20.1% annualized net yield, including coupon payments and accretion of purchase discount, from our private-label MBS portfolio.  

The following table represents certain statistics of the Company's private-label MBS portfolio as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 (dollars in millions):

As of March 31, 2011, our agency MBS consisted of $545.9 million in face value with a cost basis of $557.6 million and was fair valued at $559.0 million.  Our agency MBS had a weighted average coupon of 4.54%, and a weighted average cost of funding of 29 basis points at March 31, 2011.  We have hedged against the market value movements of our agency MBS using Eurodollar and U.S. Treasury futures and MBS put options.  These Eurodollar futures mature through March 31, 2016 and have a lifetime weighted average rate of 2.79% as of March 31, 2011.  

The Company's Board of Directors approved a $0.75 dividend for the first quarter of 2011.  The dividend will be paid on April 29, 2011 to shareholders of record on April 4, 2011.  This represented a 10% annualized dividend yield based on the Class A common stock closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) of $30.74 on April 27, 2011.  

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company repurchased 8,910 shares of its Class A common stock at an average price of $25.70 pursuant to its share repurchase program.  As of March 31, 2011, 247,275 shares remain available for repurchase under the repurchase program.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as consistently applied in the United States (GAAP), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP core operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 in this press release. This non-GAAP measurement is used by management to analyze and assess the operating results and dividends. Management believes that this non-GAAP measurement assists investors in understanding the impact of these non-core items and non-cash expenses on the performance of the Company and provides additional clarity around the Company's forward earnings capacity and trend.

A limitation of utilizing this non-GAAP measure is that the GAAP accounting effects of these events do in fact reflect the underlying financial results of Arlington Asset Investment Corp.'s business and these effects should not be ignored in evaluating and analyzing the Company's financial results. Therefore, management believes net income on a GAAP basis and core operating income on a non-GAAP basis should be considered together.

In determining core operating income, the Company has excluded certain costs and the following non-cash expenses: (1) compensation costs associated with stock-based awards, (2) accretion of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") purchase discounts adjusted for principal repayments in excess of proportionate invested capital, and (3) unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on the trading MBS and hedge instruments.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP measurements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

(2) Based on the annualized first quarter 2011 dividend and a Class A common stock closing price on the NYSE of $30.74 on April 27, 2011.

(3) The Company's dividends are eligible for the 15% federal income tax rate on qualified dividend income, whereas dividends paid by a REIT are generally subject to the higher 35% tax rate on ordinary income.  To provide the same return after payment of federal income tax as the Company, a REIT would be required to pay dividends providing a 13% yield.
