Company Summary
Proven Strategy
Experienced
Management Team
Aligned with
Stockholders
Overview of Capstead Mortgage Corporation
Founded in 1985, Capstead is the oldest publicly-traded Agency mortgage REIT.
At December 31, 2011, we had a total investment portfolio of $12.26 billion, supported by long-
term investment capital of $1.39 billion levered 8.15 times.*
Our five-year compound annual total return of 23.2%.**
We invest exclusively in residential adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) securities issued and
guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae.  Agency-guaranteed mortgage securities
are considered to have little, if any, credit risk.
Our focus on short-duration ARM securities augmented with interest rate swap agreements
differentiates
us
from
our
peers
because
ARM
securities
reset
to
more
current
interest
rates
within
a
relatively
short
period
of
time.
This
allows
for
the
recovery
of
financing
spreads
diminished
during
periods
of
rising
interest
rates
and
smaller
fluctuations
in
portfolio
values
from
changes
in
interest rates compared to fixed-rate mortgage securities.  With this strategy, Capstead  is
recognized as the most defensively-positioned Agency mortgage REIT from an interest rate risk
perspective.
Our prudently leveraged portfolio provides financial flexibility
to manage changing market
conditions.
Our executive officers have over 80 years of combined mortgage finance industry
experience, including 75 years at Capstead.
We are self-managed with low operating costs and a focus on performance-based
compensation
for
our
executive
officers.
This
structure
greatly
enhances
the
alignment
of
management interests with those of our stockholders.

Capstead’s Prudent Use of Leverage
5
**
Borrowings under repurchase arrangements divided by long-term investment capital.
Portfolio leverage ended 2011 at 8.15 to one.  In our view, borrowing at current levels represents an appropriate and
prudent use of leverage for an agency-guaranteed ARM securities portfolio in today’s market conditions. 
During 2011 we raised $232 million in new common equity capital and $5 million in Series B preferred equity capital
using our
at-the-market
continuous
offering
program.

Residential ARM Securities Portfolio
Repurchase Arrangements & Similar Borrowings
Total: $11.35
billion
*    Based on fair market value as of the indicated balance sheet date. 
Total: $12.26 billion*
Most of our securities are backed by well-seasoned mortgage
loans with coupon interest rates that reset at least annually or
begin doing so after an initial fixed-rate period of five years or
less.
We have long-term relationships with numerous lending
counterparties.  As of December 31, 2011, we had borrowings
outstanding with 24 counterparties.
Fourth quarter borrowing rates remained at favorable levels. 
Average repo borrowing rates ended the quarter at 0.36%
(0.58% including related interest rate swaps).
At December 31, 2011 we held $3.9 billion notional amount of 
currently-paying
two-year
interest
rate
swaps
requiring
fixed
rate payments averaging 0.90% with average maturities of 13
months, $800 million of which with rates averaging 1.10%
matured during the first quarter of 2012.  An additional $600
million notional amount of two-year swaps were held at year-
end that require fixed rate payments averaging 0.54% for two-
year periods that commence on various dates between January
2012 and April 2012.
The duration of our investment portfolio and related ‘repo’
borrowings
was
approximately
months
and
6
months,
respectively, at December 31, 2011.  This  resulted in a net

Capstead’s Fourth Quarter 2011 Highlights
Earnings of $42.0 million or $0.43 per diluted common share.
Our financing spread on mortgage assets* averaged 1.46%, reflecting lower ARM loan coupon interest rate resets and marginally higher
mortgage prepayments.
Our book value increased $0.02 to $12.52 per common share.
We raised $39 million in new equity capital using our at-the-market continuous offering program contributing $0.01 to the increase in
book value per common share.
Our
investment
portfolio
increased
$25
million
to
$12.26
billion
and
our
portfolio
leverage
decreased
modestly
to
8.15
times
our
long-term
investment capital.
Operating expense as a percentage of long-term investment capital averaged 1.23%.
Comments from our February 1, 2012 earnings press release:
“Market
conditions
remain
favorable
for
investing
in
agency-guaranteed
residential
ARM
securities
on
a
leveraged
basis,
with
attractive
risk-
adjusted returns achievable in a financing environment that has remained relatively stable despite European sovereign debt concerns and the failure
of
MF
Global,
a
lending
counterparty
to
many
in
the
mortgage
REIT
sector.
During
the
fourth
quarter
we
grew
our
portfolio
modestly
to
$12.3
billion
while deploying $39
million in new common and preferred equity capital raised under our continuous offering program.  Portfolio leverage declined
slightly to 8.15 times our long-term investment capital, which in our view, represents an appropriate and prudent use of leverage for an agency-
guaranteed mortgage securities portfolio in today’s market conditions, particularly for a portfolio consisting predominantly of current-reset ARM
securities. 
“Mortgage prepayments continue to be a positive differentiating factor for Capstead, declining to an annualized CPR of 15.6% during the fourth
quarter from 16.9% experienced during the previous quarter.  This reflects factors we have previously articulated, namely, prepayments on more
seasoned securities continue to be suppressed by low housing prices and credit problems being experienced by many of these borrowers, while
prepayments on newer originations remain somewhat elevated as a result of relatively low prevailing mortgage interest rates.
“The fundamental difference The fundamental difference between our investment portfolio and those of our peers is our focus on investing solely
in ARM securities.  At quarter-end these securities were backed by mortgages requiring borrowers to make payments predicated on rates averaging
a relatively low 3.53%. Additionally, 72% of our portfolio was invested in ARM securities backed by mortgage loans that will reset in rate in less than
eighteen months, typically to a lower interest rate in today’s environment.  As a result, most borrowers with mortgage loans underlying securities in
our portfolio lack the ability to meaningfully lower their mortgage payments even if they can overcome the other impediments to refinancing
mentioned above. For these reasons, we expect prepays to remain largely in check in 2012.
“The Federal Open Market Committee’s recently announced that economic conditions “are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the
federal funds rate at least through late 2014.”
If this proves to be the case, we anticipate portfolio yields on our current-reset ARM securities will
trend modestly lower as coupon interest rates on the underlying mortgage loans continue resetting to more current rates while our borrowing rates,
which declined in January 2012 from higher levels experienced late in the fourth quarter of 2011, will remain relatively low with declining hedging
costs providing some offset to lower portfolio yields.”
