Vero Beach, Fla., April 9, 2015 - Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:ORC) announced that today the Board of Directors declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of April 2015. The dividend of $0.18 per share will be paid April 30, 2015, to holders of record on April 27, 2015, with an ex-dividend date of April 23, 2015.

The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its stockholders. In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), the Company must distribute annually to its stockholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. The Company will be subject to income tax on taxable income that is not distributed and to an excise tax to the extent that certain percentages of its taxable income is not distributed by specified dates. The Company has not established a minimum distribution payment level and is not assured of its ability to make distributions to stockholders in the future.

As of April 9, 2015, the Company had 18,321,179 shares outstanding. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 16,699,656 shares outstanding.

Estimated March 31, 2015 Book Value Per Share

The Company’s estimated book value per share as of March 31, 2015 was $12.87.  The Company computes book value per share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of shares outstanding of the Company's common stock. At March 31, 2015, the Company's preliminary estimated total stockholders' equity was approximately $230.7 million with 17,924,383 common shares outstanding. These figures and the resulting estimated book value per share are preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Estimated Return on Equity

The Company’s estimated total return on equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was 2.7%, or 10.7% on an annualized basis. The Company calculates total return on equity as the sum of dividends declared and paid during the quarter plus changes in book value during the quarter, divided by the Company’s stockholders’ equity at the beginning of the quarter.  The total return was $0.35 per share, comprised of dividends per share of $0.54 and a decrease in book value per share of $0.19 from December 31, 2014.
