New Residential Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results

 

NEW YORK— (BUSINESS WIRE)—August 7, 2013—New Residential Investment Corp. (NYSE: NRZ; the “Company” or “New Residential”) today reported the following information for the quarter ended June 30, 2013:

 

   

Income available for common stockholders (“GAAP Income”) of $109.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share

 

   

Core earnings of $37.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share

 

   

Book value of $4.92 per common share

New Residential was spun-off from Newcastle Investment Corp. (NYSE: NCT; “Newcastle”) on May 15, 2013. The portion of New Residential’s second quarter results attributable to the period following the spin-off is $0.33 per diluted share, or $84.7 million, for GAAP Income, and $0.07 per diluted share, or $17.7 million, for core earnings. On June 3, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.07 dividend per common share, or $18 million, for the second quarter, based on the Company’s results from the post-spin period.

Summary Operating Results:

          

GAAP Income

   $ 13.1 million       $ 109.2 mm       $ 24.6 mm      $ 84.7 mm

   $ 12.8 million       $ 37.5 mm       $ 19.7 mm      $ 17.7 mm   

Core Earnings per Diluted Share(1)

   $ 0.05       $ 0.15       $ 0.08 (2)    $ 0.07   

 

(1) New Residential was spun-off from Newcastle in the second quarter of 2013. Earnings per share for the first quarter reflect earnings divided by the number of New Residential’s common shares outstanding immediately following the spin-off.
(2) $0.08 per share based on New Residential’s diluted shares. Using Newcastle’s diluted shares, core earnings for the pre-spin period would have been $0.07 per diluted share.

 

1


If the Company had fully invested the $112 million of average uninvested cash it held during the quarter at a 15% return, GAAP Income and core earnings would each have been $0.02 higher on a diluted per share basis. The Company had approximately $60 million of cash available to invest, after commitments, as of August 5, 2013.

For a reconciliation of GAAP Income to core earnings, please refer to the table following the presentation of GAAP results.

Highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2013:

 

   

Spin-Off of New Residential –New Residential became an independent publicly traded company following its spin-off from Newcastle on May 15, 2013.

Consumer Loan Outperformance – Estimated unleveraged lifetime returns of 14%, versus initial target of 12%; charge-off rate and prepayment rate outperforming expectations. Expect leveraged lifetime returns in the mid to high 20% range.

New Residential Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Riis commented, “We are very excited about the spin-off of New Residential. Our investments continue to outperform our initial expectations, and we continue to pursue a robust pipeline of investments to bolster our future growth. Although the dividend for the second quarter reflected only forty-five days of stand-alone operations, future dividends will reflect earnings for a full quarter.”

Core Earnings

Set forth above is a reconciliation of core earnings to income available for common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Core earnings is used by management to gauge the Company’s current performance without taking into account gains and losses, which are subject to significant variability and are only a potential indicator of future economic performance, although they do represent a part of the Company’s recurring operations. Core earnings also adjusts earnings from the Company’s investment in consumer loans to a level yield basis, which is the basis on which management assesses the performance of this investment.

Management believes that core earnings is useful information that enables investors to evaluate the Company’s current performance using the same measure that management uses to operate the business. Core earnings does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of its liquidity. In addition, core earnings is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. The Company’s calculation of core earnings may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
