NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2017
NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Oaks Investment Corp. (NYSE: OAKS) ("we", "Five Oaks" or "the Company") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. For the third quarter, the Company reported GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders of $5.1 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, a comprehensive loss of $2.9 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, and core earnings (1) of $2.4 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share. The Company also reported a net book value of $5.12 per share on a basic and diluted basis at September 30, 2017.
Third Quarter 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 or other one-time charges. 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:
"In the third quarter the yield curve again flattened as short-term interest rates adjusted to the Fed's June tightening, and growing expectations of another rate increase later this year. While market expectations contemplate up to three additional rate hikes over the next year, it remains unclear how high the Fed can raise short-term interest rates while also pursuing a non-traditional policy of balance sheet tapering. We believe that we may be closer to the end of the traditional rate-hiking cycle given continued subdued inflation, but economic data and rate movements since the end of the third quarter are suggestive of continued and perhaps strengthening economic momentum. Longer term, a market in which the Federal Reserve is reducing its purchases of both treasuries and mortgages should be an attractive one for buying and leveraging hybrid agency securities.
"Shorter term, however, in a flatter yield curve environment, hybrid agencies tend to underperform 15 and 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. This was evident in the third quarter, with hybrid agency spreads widening slightly, while fixed-rate mortgages tightened. This was a contributory factor in our third quarter book value decline, along with realized hedging losses, and the reduction in net interest income due to higher financing rates, which meant that we under-earned our dividend in the quarter. In addition, we rotated out of over $400 million of assets that had rolled down the curve, and invested in over $500 million of longer-duration new issue hybrid agencies at higher yields. This had limited impact on our Q3 results since it was effected close to the end of the quarter, but should boost earnings going forward. We continue to believe that an investment strategy focused on Agency hybrid ARMs should provide both attractive yield and positive price "roll" down the curve along with enhanced extension protection over a full interest rate cycle."
