Dynex Capital, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

GLEN ALLEN, Va.--()--Dynex Capital, Inc. (NYSE: DX) reported its first quarter 2020 results today. As previously announced, the Company's quarterly conference call to discuss these results is today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and may be accessed via telephone in the U.S. at 1-844-840-0844 (internationally at 1-647-253-8795) using conference ID 3957798 or by live webcast, which includes a slide presentation, under “Investor Center” on the Company's website (www.dynexcapital.com).

Management Remarks

"The first quarter of 2020 was marked by extreme periods of volatility as a result of multiple exogenous shocks during the quarter," commented Byron L. Boston, President. "We were prepared coming into the quarter for potential market surprises and took a number of actions early which allowed us to weather the volatility and exit the quarter in a solid financial position. Mass liquidations by equity and fixed income market participants were the main driver of wider spreads for the quarter for virtually all asset classes. Our quarterly economic return to common shareholders was a negative (8.3)%, and we earned core net operating income of $0.51 per common share, which exceeded our dividends declared of $0.45 per common share for the quarter."

Mr. Boston continued, "Today our leverage is approximately 4 times shareholders' equity and our investment portfolio stands at approximately $2.4 billion. We have the flexibility, capital and liquidity to make investments and see opportunities to invest capital today. Post quarter-end, market conditions have improved and we will continue our disciplined capital management as we assess the evolving risk environment."

Summary of First Quarter 2020 Results

  • Comprehensive loss of $(1.45) per common share comprised of:
    • $(4.63) net loss per common share
    • $3.18 other comprehensive income per common share on available-for-sale securities
  • Core net operating income, a non-GAAP measure, of $0.51 per common share
  • Quarterly negative economic return to common shareholders of (8.3)% based on dividends declared of $0.45 per common share less the decline in book value per common share of $(1.94) to $16.07 at March 31, 2020
  • Net interest spread and adjusted net interest spread, a non-GAAP measure, of 1.32% and 1.47%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2020
  • Reduced the MBS portfolio by approximately 28% to $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2020 primarily through sales of $1.8 billion in Agency RMBS and $0.2 billion of Agency CMBS at a realized gain of $84.8 million
  • Leverage of 8.8x shareholders' equity, not including the impact of securities sold but unsettled at March 31, 2020, which collateralized $1.4 billion of our repurchase agreement borrowings that were repaid with proceeds in early April
  • Repositioned the hedging portfolio by terminating the majority of interest rate swaps and entering net short positions of $1.2 billion in Treasury futures and $1.7 billion in put options on Treasury futures
  • Issued 4.5 million shares of 6.90% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and used the proceeds to redeem all 2.3 million shares outstanding of 8.50% Series A Preferred Stock and partially redeem 1.7 million shares outstanding of 7.625% Series B Preferred stock, impacting book value per common share by approximately $(0.15)
  • Subsequent sales of Agency CMBS which had an amortized cost of $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2020 materially changed our leverage and liquidity position since March 31, 2020.

Financial Performance

Comprehensive loss to common shareholders of $(33.3) million for the first quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from net loss on derivatives exceeding realized and unrealized gains on MBS. Our total net loss on derivatives of $(195.6) million and realized gain of $84.8 million from MBS sales were the primary components of our net loss to common shareholders of $(106.2) million, or $(4.63) per common share, for the first quarter of 2020 compared to net income of $51.8 million, or $2.26 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, which was primarily comprised of a net gain on derivative instruments of $43.0 million. The realized gain of $84.8 million from MBS sales resulted from the sale of higher premium assets in order to monetize gains, increase our liquidity position and decrease our leverage. Net loss to common shareholders was partially offset by a net unrealized gain of $73.0 million from the increase in fair value of MBS, which is recorded in other comprehensive income.

Net interest income increased $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to the prior quarter because the decline in our interest expense from repurchase agreement borrowings, which resulted primarily from lower short-term interest rates, outpaced the decline in our interest income, which resulted primarily from lower prepayment penalty compensation and a smaller balance of average interest earning assets. The following table provides details on the performance of our investments and financing including periodic interest benefits from hedging instruments for the periods indicated:

The impact of TBA drop income on adjusted net interest spread includes the implied average funding cost of TBA dollar roll transactions during the periods indicated. TBA drop income includes $0.3 million and $0.9 million from TBA short positions held during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(5)

Represents a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional important information about non-GAAP measures.

Other results contributing to the net loss to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2020 include higher general and administrative expenses from professional fees, higher preferred stock dividends from the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, and a non-recurring charge of $(3.9) million related to the redemption of our Series A and partial redemption of our Series B Preferred Stocks.

Core net operating income to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, was $11.6 million, or $0.51 per common share, for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $15.0 million, or $0.66 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2019. The decline was driven by lower net periodic interest benefit from pay-fixed interest rate swaps and lower TBA drop income in addition to higher general and administrative expenses and preferred stock dividends.

Net interest spread increased 22 basis points for the first quarter of 2020 compared to the prior quarter due to lower repurchase agreement financing costs as a result of a decline in short-term borrowing rates. Adjusted net interest spread, a non-GAAP measure, declined because we hedged a lower average balance of our repurchase agreement borrowings and received a lower net receive rate on interest rate swaps outstanding during the first quarter. In addition, adjusted net interest spread declined due to higher implied financing costs for our TBA dollar roll positions, which resulted in those transactions yielding substantially lower than our interest-earning assets.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company's net book value per common share was $16.07, a decline of (10.7)% compared to $18.01 per share as of December 31, 2019. The decline in the Company's book value per common share was largely due to widening credit spreads in Agency CMBS and CMBS IO.

Investment Portfolio Changes

The Company's MBS sales of $1.9 billion late in the first quarter were predominately Agency RMBS, which shifted the composition of the portfolio to be more heavily weighted toward fixed-rate Agency CMBS. As of March 31, 2020, 63% of investments were Agency CMBS and 25% were Agency RMBS compared to 39% and 52%, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company sold $1.5 billion in Agency CMBS with minimal reinvestment of proceeds and paid off related repurchase agreement borrowings which were $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2020. As such, leverage and liquidity have materially changed since March 31, 2020.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the impact of changing interest rates on repurchase agreement financing costs and implied financing cost of TBA long positions as well as the fair value of MBS. This ratio calculation does not include TBA short positions which the Company may also use to hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its specified pools of Agency RMBS and TBA long positions.

Toward the end of the first quarter of 2020, the Company terminated the majority of its interest rate swaps, given the rally in interest rates, its sales of Agency RMBS, and increasing margin requirements.

Company Description

Dynex Capital, Inc. is an internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, which invests in mortgage assets on a leveraged basis. The Company invests in Agency and non-Agency RMBS, CMBS, and CMBS IO. Additional information about Dynex Capital, Inc. is available at www.dynexcapital.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the Company's operating results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including core net operating income to common shareholders (including per common share), adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest income and the related metrics adjusted cost of funds and adjusted net interest spread. Because these measures are used in the Company's internal analysis of financial and operating performance, management believes that they provide greater transparency to our investors of management's view of our economic performance. Management also believes the presentation of these measures, when analyzed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP operating results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate and compare the performance of the Company to that of its peers, although the Company's presentation of its non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. Schedules reconciling core net operating income to common shareholders, adjusted interest expense, and adjusted net interest income to GAAP financial measures are provided as a supplement to this release.

Management views core net operating income to common shareholders as an estimate of the Company's investment portfolio performance based on the effective yield of its investments, net of financing costs and other normal recurring operating income/expense, net. In addition to the non-GAAP reconciliation set forth in the supplement to this release, which derives core net operating income to common shareholders from GAAP net income to common shareholders as the nearest GAAP equivalent measure, core net operating income to common shareholders can also be determined by adjusting net interest income to include interest rate swap periodic interest benefit (cost), drop income on TBA dollar roll transactions, general and administrative expenses, and preferred dividends. Drop income generated by TBA dollar roll positions, which is included in "gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net" on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income, is included in core net operating income and in adjusted net interest income because management views drop income as the economic equivalent of net interest income (interest income less implied financing cost) on the underlying Agency security from trade date to settlement date. Management also includes periodic interest benefit (cost) from its interest rate swaps, which are also included in "gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net", in adjusted net interest expense, and in adjusted net interest income because interest rate swaps are used by the Company to economically hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its borrowing costs from repurchase agreements, and including periodic interest benefit (cost) from interest rate swaps is a helpful indicator of the Company’s total cost of financing in addition to GAAP interest expense. However, these non-GAAP measures do not provide a full perspective on our results of operations, and therefore, their usefulness is limited. For example, these non-GAAP measures do not include gains or losses from available-for-sale investments, changes in fair value of and costs of terminating interest rate swaps, as well as realized and unrealized gains or losses from any instrument used by management to economically hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its portfolio and book value per common share, such as Eurodollar futures. As a result, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP results as reported on its consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
