Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 26, 2012, Dynex Capital, Inc. (NYSE: DX) (the “Company”) announced that based on preliminary estimates, it expects its results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 will be as follows:
• | Net income of between $14.1 million and $14.9 million versus $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, or earnings per diluted common share of between $0.35 and $0.37 per common share versus $0.04 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011; |
• | Book value per common share at December 31, 2011 of between $9.18 and $9.22 per common share versus $9.15 at September 30, 2011; and |
• | Net interest spread of between 2.53% and 2.59% versus a net interest spread of 2.43% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. |
The increase in net income and earnings per diluted share primarily relates to growth in the net interest spread during the quarter, as well as certain charges included in the results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, such as litigation settlement and related defense costs and a charge on redemption of collateralized financings. The increase in book value per common share primarily relates to the excess of earnings for the quarter versus the dividend declared of $0.28 for the quarter. The increase in net interest spread is a result of the continued rotation of the Company's investment portfolio from Agency RMBS to Agency and non-Agency CMBS.
The above estimates are preliminary as the Company has not completed all of the procedures that it would normally conduct in connection with the year-end compilation of its financial results. In addition, the Company's auditor, BDO USA LLP, has not substantially begun its normal audit procedures for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. There can be no assurance that the Company's final results for this period will not differ from these estimates, including as a result of the Company's quarter-end and year-end closing procedures. These estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full interim and year-end financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Since September 30, 2011 and through January 25, 2012, the Company has issued 402,494 shares of common stock through its continuous equity placement program and raised net proceeds of $3.7 million, and has issued 2,254 shares under its dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan for net proceeds of approximately $20 thousand.
