Exhibit 99.1

Financial Summary

During the fourth quarter, the Company generated $0.48 in core earnings, and the book value improved 1.9% to $17.97. This was accomplished while continuing to reposition the investment portfolio to be less interest rate sensitive. The Company repurchased 10.7 million shares of common stock with an average price of $14.97 which added approximately $0.23 to the book value. In addition, the Company sold approximately $2.3 billion in 30 year fixed-rate Agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and allocated the capital to Agency hybrid adjustable rate mortgages ("ARM"), residential loan securitizations, risk-sharing programs offered by government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE") and commercial real estate loans.

The Company's net loss for the fourth quarter was ($84.3) million or ($0.63) per common share and was primarily driven by the sale of Agency MBS that resulted in a loss on sale of ($142.5) million or ($1.08) per common share compared to a loss on sale of ($69.3) million or ($0.51) per common share in the third quarter. In addition, the Company sold interest rate swaptions realizing a loss of ($9.9) million or ($0.08) per common share in the fourth quarter compared to a gain of $39.1 million or $0.29 per common share in the third quarter. The Company had unrealized gains on its hedging portfolio that flow through earnings of $7.9 million or $0.06 per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared to unrealized losses of ($46.0) million or ($0.34) per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s MBS portfolio was $17.3 billion, a decrease of $1.5 billion from September 30, 2013. In addition, the Company increased its portfolio of loans held for investment to $1.9 billion, an increase of $325.1 million from September 30, 2013. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, average earning assets were $20.1 billion, representing a decrease of $389.2 million from September 30, 2013. The portfolio generated interest income of $174.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013, which reflects an increase of $3.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in interest income was a result of changing the portfolio composition during the quarter which included selling lower yielding fixed rate assets.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company had average borrowings of approximately $17.9 billion and interest expense, including cost of hedging, of $95.6 million, compared to $18.2 billion and $89.6 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2013. The Company's average cost of funds was 2.14% and 1.97% for the fourth quarter and third quarter, respectively. The increase in cost of funds was due to higher hedging costs related to forward starting swaps entered into in prior periods that the Company began paying on in the fourth quarter.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $14.2 million, compared to $13.2 million for the third quarter. The ratio of operating expenses to average equity for the fourth quarter was 2.36%, which was an increase of 18 basis points from the third quarter. The increase was primarily due to one-time costs and lower equity after share repurchases.

The Company declared a common stock dividend of $0.50 per share for the fourth quarter of 2013. The dividend was paid on January 28, 2014.

The Company declared a preferred stock dividend of $0.4844 per share for the fourth quarter of 2013. The dividend was paid on January 27, 2014.

Exhibit 99.1


Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this release contains the non-GAAP financial measure of “core earnings.” The Company’s management uses core earnings in its internal analysis of results and believes this information is useful to investors for the reasons explained below.

The Company calculates core earnings as U.S. GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders excluding gain (loss) on sale of investments, net and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate derivative instruments. The Company records changes in the valuation of its investment portfolio and certain interest rate swaps in other comprehensive income. In addition, the Company uses swaptions and invests in U.S. Treasury futures that do not qualify under U.S. GAAP for inclusion in other comprehensive income and, as such, the changes in valuation are recorded in the period in which they occur. For internal portfolio analysis, the Company’s management deducts these gains and losses from U.S. GAAP net income to provide a consistent view of investment portfolio performance across reporting periods.

The Company believes the presentation of core earnings allows investors to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company to that of its peers because core earnings measures investment portfolio performance over multiple reporting periods by removing realized and unrealized gains and losses. As such, the Company believes that the disclosure of core earnings is useful and meaningful to its investors.

However, the Company cautions that core earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), or an indication of the Company's cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), a measure of the Company's liquidity, or an indication of amounts available to fund its cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. In addition, the Company's methodology for calculating core earnings may differ from those employed by other companies for a similarly described measure and, therefore, may not be comparable.

The table below provides a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders to core earnings for the following periods:

Beginning June 10, 2013, regulations promulgated under The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act mandate that the Company clear new interest rate swap transactions through a central counterparty. Transactions that are centrally cleared result in the Company facing a clearing house, rather than a swap dealer, as counterparty. Central clearing requires the Company to post collateral in the form of initial and variation margin to the clearing house which reduces default risk.

Exhibit 99.1

*
Average amounts for each period are based on weighted month-end balances; all percentages are annualized. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 the average balances are presented on an amortized cost basis.
(1)
Average portfolio yield for the period was calculated by dividing interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, by the average of amortized cost of the investments. All yields are annualized.
(2)
Amount represents the maximum borrowings at month-end during each of the respective periods.
(3)
Average cost of funds is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense by our average borrowings.
(4)
Average equity is calculated based on a weighted balance basis.
