NEW YORK, May 10, 2016
NEW YORK, May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Oaks Investment Corp. (NYSE: OAKS) ("we", "Five Oaks" or "the Company") today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. For the first quarter, the Company reported a GAAP net loss of $17.8 million, or $1.22 per basic and diluted share, a comprehensive loss of $18.9 million, or $1.30 per basic and diluted share, and core earnings(1) of $3.5 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share. The Company also reported a net book value of $8.12 per share on a basic and diluted basis at March 31, 2016.
First Quarter and Subsequent Events Summary
(1) Core Earnings is a non-GAAP measure that we define as GAAP net income, excluding impairment losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on the aggregate portfolio and certain non-recurring upfront costs related to securitization transactions. As defined, Core Earnings includes interest income or expense and premium income or loss on derivative instruments.
(2) Economic return is a non-GAAP measure that we define as the sum of the change in net book value per common share and dividends declared on our common stock during the period over the beginning net book value per common share.
Management Observations
David Carroll, Five Oaks' Chairman and CEO commented: "Wider credit spreads on our investments combined with higher hedging costs in a period of volatile interest rates were the primary drivers of our disappointing negative economic return on book value for the quarter. The volatility that affected markets in the second half of 2015 spiked noticeably in the first quarter of this year, as rising global economic and commodity price concerns accentuated pressures on risk assets, including credit sensitive mortgage assets. Through mid-February, a wide range of fixed income markets experienced a particularly marked decline, exacerbated by what we view as a systemic reduction in market liquidity resulting from new capital and liquidity regulations that are being applied to banks and large bank dealer counterparties. Conditions began to improve towards the end of the quarter although we believe volatility in both interest rates and credit spreads are in a period of secular elevation.
We maintained a more defensive investment approach, further reducing our Non-Agency RMBS positions to $84.4 million at quarter end, down over 70% since the end of 2014. Consistent with our increased emphasis on liquidity, after quarter end we also completed two re-securitizations of Multi-Family MBS first-loss positions, which allowed us to reduce our short term tri-party repo funding by effectively "terming-out" senior liabilities, while retaining upside potential on the underlying assets, and increasing our cash position. These transactions also reduced by approximately 50% our exposure to cash margin calls on our Multi-Family MBS portfolio.
The decrease in traditional repo financing along with new risk retention requirements has the positive effect of creating more investment opportunities with structural or term leverage for investors such as Five Oaks that have permanent capital;. Having termed out a meaningful amount of our credit funding, we will selectively seek to take advantage of such opportunities. We believe this new investment and financing paradigm will lead to less volatility and disruption than the old tri-party based repo model has experienced over the recent past."
