Management Remarks

"We believe our performance this decade, which started in 2020, illustrates that the Dynex team has the experience and discipline to manage through even the most volatile and challenging cycles, and we expect to continue generating long-term returns for our shareholders," stated Byron Boston, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to believe that a flexible business model and our experienced team have positioned Dynex to deliver a solid cash dividend and total return experience to our shareholders. We enter 2023 with a highly liquid balance sheet and are prepared to be opportunistic investors this year."

Results Discussion

Comprehensive income to common shareholders of $56.6 million, or $1.17 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2022 resulted in the increase of $0.50 in the Company's book value per common share to $14.73 as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of the Company's MBS portfolio benefited from spread tightening during the quarter while the active management of its interest rate hedges mitigated the impact of an inverted yield curve on the Company's fourth quarter earnings. Partially offsetting the resulting increase of $55.2 million in the fair value of its investment and hedging portfolios, the Company's net interest income and TBA drop income declined. As the Federal Reserve continued its attempt to combat inflation by increasing the Federal Funds rate in 2022, these increases resulted in the Company's cost of funds increasing 132 basis points in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of 2022. To mitigate its higher financing costs, the Company sold a portion of its lower coupon Agency RMBS at the end of the third quarter and rotated into Agency RMBS and TBAs with higher coupons. The shift to higher coupon assets and slower prepayment speeds resulted in the Company's effective yield on its MBS increasing 63 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in the Federal Funds rate also adversely impacted the net implied spread earned on the Company's TBA securities, resulting in lower TBA drop income and further contributing to the decline in the Company's earnings available for distribution ("EAD"), a non-GAAP measure, which was $0.03 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2022. However, the Company's realized gains from its interest rate hedges, which are not included in EAD but recognized in GAAP earnings, will become a part of the Company's distribution requirements when amortized into REIT taxable income over time. Further discussion of the interest rate hedge gains is provided below under "Hedging Portfolio".

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company raised equity capital of $92.4 million through its ATM common stock program, and ended 2022 with over $600 million of cash and liquid assets. With room to increase its leverage of 6.1 times shareholders' equity at December 31, 2022, management believes the Company is well-positioned to selectively add incremental assets when spreads widen or to diversify into other mortgage products as attractive opportunities are presented.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company's financial position during the fourth quarter of 2022:

Average balance for assets is calculated as a simple average of the daily amortized cost and excludes securities pending settlement if applicable.

(2)

Average balance for liabilities is calculated as a simple average of the daily borrowings outstanding during the period.

(3)

Effective yield is calculated by dividing interest income by the average balance of asset type outstanding during the reporting period. Unscheduled adjustments to premium/discount amortization/accretion, such as for prepayment compensation, are not annualized in this calculation.

(4)

Cost of funds is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense by the total average balance of borrowings outstanding during the period with an assumption of 360 days in a year.

(5)

CMBS IO includes Agency and non-Agency issued securities.

(6)

Drop income from TBA securities is calculated by multiplying the notional amount of the TBA dollar roll positions by the difference in price between two TBA securities with the same terms but different settlement dates.

(7)

Adjusted net interest spread includes the impact from TBA drop income of 89 basis points and 53 basis points for the third and fourth quarters of 2022, respectively.

Hedging Portfolio

During 2022, the Company realized substantial gains on its interest rate hedges that were recognized in its GAAP earnings, but because these derivative instruments were designated for tax purposes as hedges of the Company's financing arrangements, the realized gains will be amortized into REIT taxable income over the next several years. On a tax basis, the benefit for the year ended December 31, 2022 is estimated to be $22.5 million, or $0.53 per common share. The Company's remaining estimated net deferred tax hedge gains from its interest rate hedging portfolio was $680.0 million as of December 31, 2022, which is a significant increase from $27.0 million as of December 31, 2021. These hedge gains will be part of the Company's future distribution requirements along with net interest income and other ordinary gains and losses in future periods. The table below provides the projected amortization of the Company's net deferred tax hedge gain that may be recognized as taxable income over the periods indicated given conditions known as of December 31, 2022; however, uncertainty inherent in the forward interest rate curve makes future realized gains and losses difficult to estimate, and as such, these projections are subject to change for any given period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the Company’s financial and operating performance, management considers book value per common share, total economic return to common shareholders, and other operating results presented in accordance with GAAP as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include the following: earnings available for distribution (“EAD”) to common shareholders, adjusted net interest income and the related metric adjusted net interest spread. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors because they are viewed by management as a measure of the investment portfolio’s return based on the effective yield of its investments, net of financing costs and, with respect to EAD, net of other normal recurring operating income/expenses. 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 these non-GAAP financial measures 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.

However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP earnings and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs because they may not be calculated in the same manner. Furthermore, though EAD is one of several factors management considers in determining the appropriate level of distributions to common shareholders, it should not be utilized in isolation, and it is not an accurate indication of the Company’s REIT taxable income nor its distribution requirements in accordance with the Tax Code.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented below.
