Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. Announces Quarterly Common Dividend and Provides Update on Portfolio, Liquidity and Book Value

ATLANTA, Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: IVR) today announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.65 per share of common stock for the third quarter of 2022.  The dividend will be paid on October 27, 2022 to stockholders of record on October 11, 2022, with an ex-dividend date of October 7, 2022.  Despite continued strength in earnings available for distribution, reducing the cash dividend for the third quarter allows the Company to retain additional capital and further improve its capital structure.

As of August 31, 2022, the majority of the Company's $4.7 billion Agency residential mortgage-backed securities ("Agency RMBS") portfolio was invested in 4.0%, 4.5% and 5.0% coupon investments, and its liquidity position remained strong.  Attractive asset yields resulting from the Company's rotation into higher yielding Agency RMBS in the second and third quarters, along with favorable funding and a relatively low-cost legacy swap portfolio, have continued to support earnings available for distribution.  Further, wider spreads on our target assets have created an attractive reinvestment environment which should continue to support the earnings power of the portfolio.

During the third quarter, the Company remained focused on improving its capital structure by repurchasing preferred stock and issuing common stock through the Company's at-the-market program.  As of August 31, 2022, the Company's equity consisted of 34% preferred stock and 66% common stock compared to 43% preferred stock and 57% common stock as of June 30, 2022. 

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards that may be used to offset taxable ordinary income and thereby reduce future distribution requirements.  In addition, the Company has net capital loss carryforwards that can be used to offset future net capital gains.

Given recent market volatility, the Company has elected to provide the following preliminary financial information.  The below estimates are subject to change.
