PASADENA, Calif., May 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: WMC) today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

FIRST QUARTER 2016 HIGHLIGHTS

  • $0.45 per share common dividend declared
  • GAAP net loss of $36.3 million, or $0.88 per basic and diluted share
  • Core earnings plus drop income of $9.5 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share1,2
  • 1.53% annualized net interest spread on our investment portfolio1,5
  • Constant prepayment rate on the Company's Agency RMBS portfolio of 7.1% for the quarter
  • $10.90 per share net book value as of March 31, 2016, net of first quarter common dividend 
  • Economic return on book value was (7.0%)1,3   for the quarter
  • 5.3x leverage as of March 31, 2016 (6.2x leverage when adjusted for net TBA position)1,4

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"The first quarter was an extremely challenging and volatile environment for the fixed income markets and, in particular, the U.S. mortgage markets," said Gavin James, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "The markets experienced a downturn in January as concerns surrounding global economic conditions and commodity prices exerted pressure on risk assets, including credit sensitive fixed income securities. While investor sentiment improved in March, resulting in a rebound in the equity and corporate fixed income markets, the credit sensitive mortgage markets didn't fully participate in the 'risk-on' rally. As a result of generally wider spreads on our investments, combined with higher hedging costs, we generated a negative economic return on book value for the quarter of 7.0% and lower sequential core earnings plus drop income of $9.5 million, or $0.23 per share."

Anup Agarwal, Chief Investment Officer of the Company, commented, "We believe that the spread widening in credit sensitive securities that negatively impacted our economic return during the first quarter was more technical in nature and not driven by any deterioration in the fundamentals of the U.S. real estate markets. We are long-term investors with an extended investment horizon and do not measure our success solely on the results in any one calendar quarter or year, but instead focus on providing sustainable strong risk-adjusted returns over the long-term."

"Given our current expectations for ongoing, yet gradual economic growth in the U.S., including a continued positive outlook for both the residential and commercial real estate markets, we believe that a portfolio weighted towards credit sensitive investments is appropriate. However, we plan to continue to proactively manage our portfolio by monitoring the relative value of opportunities across the broad mortgage universe, in an effort to achieve an optimal risk-adjusted total economic return for our shareholders," Mr. Agarwal concluded.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements."  Operating results are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates; changes in the yield curve; changes in prepayment rates; the availability and terms of financing; general economic conditions; market conditions; conditions in the market for mortgage related investments; legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company; and other factors, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release, except as required by law.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial information, including core earnings, core earnings per share, drop income and drop income per share and certain financial metrics derived from non-GAAP information, such as weighted average yield, including IO securities; weighted average effective cost of financing, including swaps; weighted average net interest spread, including IO securities and swaps, which constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. We believe that these measures presented in this release, when considered together with GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding our borrowing costs and net interest income, as viewed by us.  An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be made in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.


1 Non – GAAP measure.

2 Drop income is income derived from the use of 'to-be-announced' forward contract ("TBA") dollar roll transactions which is a component of our gain (loss) on derivative instruments on our consolidated statement of operations, but is not included in core earnings. Drop income was approximately $721 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016

3 Economic return is calculated by taking the sum of: (i) the total dividends declared; and (ii) the change in book value during the period and divided by the beginning book value.

4 As of March 31, 2016, the net long position in TBAs was $450.0 million in notional value.
