(1)

Reflects the impact of consolidating the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2017-D ("2017-D") and Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2018-C ("2018-C"), which are 50% and 37%, respectively, owned by third-party institutional investors as of December 31, 2020.

(2)

All quarters for loan interest income and interest income on investment in debt securities and beneficial interests have been updated to reflect gross interest income before provision for credit benefit/(losses).

(3)

Interest income on investment in debt securities and beneficial interests issued by our joint ventures is net of servicing fees.

(4)

Total revenue includes net interest income, income from equity method investments and other income.

(5)

Average equity includes the effect of an aggregate of $115.1 million of preferred stock issued during the three months ended December 31, 2020, September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

(6)

Average daily cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents, and excludes cash held in trust.

(7)

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the average daily cash balance excludes $51.0 million of funds on deposit in a non-interest bearing account for a transaction that closed on September 25, 2020. Including the $51.0 million on deposit, average daily cash was $148.0 million.

(8)

All quarters have been updated to reflect average asset level debt balance from total average debt balance.

Our consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders increased $5.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Our gross interest income increased $1.2 million, and our interest expense declined $0.9 million. Our book value increased to $15.59 per common share from $15.35 at September 30, 2020 primarily from the increase in our consolidated net income during the quarter.

The increase in our earnings compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by an increase in our net interest income as our interest income on our securities portfolio increased, our interest expense decreased and we recovered a net $7.6 million from our provision for credit losses on our loan and beneficial interest portfolios.

Our net interest income prior to the recovery of the provision for credit losses increased $2.1 million over the prior quarter primarily driven by an increase in the average balance and yield of our joint venture securities portfolio and a decrease in our overall cost of funds by approximately 26 basis points during the fourth quarter. We expect our cost of funds to continue to decrease in the current interest rate and credit environment as we are able to refinance existing debt at lower current rates.

Our net interest income after the recovery of the provision for credit losses increased $5.7 million over the prior quarter. We recovered a net $7.6 million from our provision for credit losses on our loan and beneficial interest portfolios on a consolidated basis in the fourth quarter. Of the $7.6 million, $1.0 million was allocated to non-controlling interests in 2017-D and 2018-C, both of which are consolidated for GAAP. This compares to a net recovery in the quarter ended September 30, 2020 of $4.0 million with $1.0 million allocated to non-controlling interests. The reversal of the provision for credit losses was driven primarily by recoveries on loans that paid off during the quarter as well as by an increase in expected cash flows on our loan portfolio.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, we acquired 34 RPLs for $12.7 million with UPB of $13.5 million and 52.3% of property value, 63 NPLs for $13.4 million with UPB of $15.3 million and 50.0% of property value. We acquired 12 SBC loans for $18.0 million with UPB of $18.4 million and 53.5% of property value. These loans were acquired and included on our consolidated balance sheet for a weighted average of 33 days of the quarter. We ended the quarter with $1.1 billion of mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $1.2 billion.

We recorded $0.2 million in impairments on our REO held-for-sale portfolio in real estate operating expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 compared to $0.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. We continue to liquidate our REO properties held-for-sale at a faster rate than we acquire properties, with 10 properties sold in the fourth quarter while eight were added to REO held-for-sale through foreclosures. Our inventory of REO held-for-sale declined by 42% year-to-date through December 31, 2020 as existing REO property sales are benefiting from the current low inventory in the real estate market and new foreclosure timelines are extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We collected $63.7 million of cash during the quarter as a result of loan payments, loan payoffs, sales of REO and cash collections on our securities portfolio to end the fourth quarter with $107.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. $50.3 million of our cash collections were derived from our mortgage loan and REO portfolios as a result of loan payments, loan payoffs and sales of REO during the quarter and $13.4 million were derived from interest and principal payments on investments in debt securities and beneficial interests. Of the $50.3 million of cash collections from mortgage loans and REO, we received $26.5 million from loans paying the full amount of principal, past due interest and charges.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, we also repurchased 48,464 shares of our common stock in the open market for an average purchase price of $9.00 per share including commissions.

The AAA, A and BBB rated securities were issued at a weighted yield of 1.35% excluding transaction expenses, and represent 84.6% of the UPB of the underlying mortgage loans.
