Second Quarter 2017 Results

NEW YORK, NY - August 3, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: NYMT) (“NYMT,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Net income attributable to common stockholders of $11.1 million, or $0.10 per share, and comprehensive income to common stockholders of $14.9 million, or $0.13 per share.
Net interest income of $15.7 million and portfolio net interest margin of 312 basis points.

Management Overview

Steven Mumma, NYMT's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The Company delivered a 2.3% economic return for the second quarter and a 9.5% annualized economic return for the first six months of the year. The Company had GAAP earnings of $0.10 per share and comprehensive earnings of $0.13 per share for the second quarter. The Company’s net interest margin improved to 312 basis points from 270 basis points in the first quarter, largely due to improved net margin in our distressed residential loan portfolio and increased average interest earning assets in our CMBS multifamily portfolio.
The credit markets continued to improve in the second quarter with spreads in many markets tightening to levels not seen in many years.  This has benefited our current residential and multi-family portfolios, both in our securities investments as well as our direct lending.  We expect to profitably exit several multi-family JV equity investments that were made over the last two years in the third quarter.  We will continue to participate in the Freddie Mac K Series multi-family program and expect an additional opportunity to invest in a first loss security in 2017.   Our portfolio margin will benefit in the third quarter from the $26.3 million preferred equity investment we closed in July. This investment has an expected return of over 12%.  While the consummation of these types of credit investments continue to involve significant lead times, they remain an attractive use of capital that we will continue to pursue with vigor.
While competition for certain credit assets continues to be crowded, our diverse portfolio investment strategy allows us to seek other attractive opportunities and monetize previous investment decisions. Given the prevailing market conditions for the sourcing of new investments in credit assets, we will also consider new investments in non-credit assets that we believe will compensate us appropriately for the risks associated with them. We believe that our portfolio is well-positioned to adapt to changing market and economic conditions.”

Second Quarter Earnings Summary

For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $11.1 million as compared to $16.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The $4.9 million decrease is primarily due to lower gains from decreased sales activity in our distressed residential loan portfolio partially offset by increased net interest margin and recovery of incentive fees.

We generated net interest income of $15.7 million and a portfolio net interest margin of 312 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to net interest income of $13.9 million and a portfolio net interest margin of 270 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net interest income of $1.8 million and improved net margin of 42 basis points was primarily driven by:

An increase in net interest income of $1.3 million from our multi-family portfolio due to an increase in average interest earning multi-family CMBS assets resulting from purchases at the end of the first quarter that were held for the entirety of the second quarter.
An increase in net interest income of approximately $1.4 million from our distressed residential portfolio due to an increase in asset yields in the second quarter.
A decrease in net interest income of $0.4 million from our Agency IO portfolio in the second quarter primarily related to lower asset yields resulting from increased prepayment rates and higher financing costs in the second quarter.


4



For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we recognized other income of $8.2 million as compared to other income of $16.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in other income of $8.5 million is primarily driven by:

A decrease in realized gains on distressed residential mortgage loans of $9.6 million resulting from decreased sales activity.
A decrease in net unrealized gains on investment securities and related hedges of $2.6 million primarily related to a decrease in pricing on our Agency IO portfolio.
An increase in realized gain on investment securities and related hedges of $2.3 million primarily due to increases in net gains recognized on investment securities and related hedges in the Agency IO portfolio partially offset by a decrease in realized gains on CMBS.
An increase in income from operating real estate and real estate held for sale in consolidated variable interest entities of $2.3 million during the second quarter related to the consolidation in accordance with GAAP of two multi-family apartment properties in which the Company has preferred equity investments.
A decrease in other income of $0.6 million primarily due to a decrease in income on our investments in unconsolidated entities.

Total general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were approximately $5.0 million as compared to total general and administrative expenses of approximately $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2017. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3.0 million can be primarily attributed to the recovery of incentive fee expense on our distressed residential loan strategy due to lower gains from decreased sales activity during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2017.

If a change occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in its forward-looking statements. The following factors are examples of those that could cause actual results to vary from the Company’s forward-looking statements: changes in interest rates and the market value of the Company’s securities; changes in credit spreads; the impact of the downgrade of the long-term credit ratings of the U.S., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae; market volatility; changes in the prepayment rates on the mortgage loans underlying the Company’s investment securities; increased rates of default and/or decreased recovery rates on the Company's assets; the Company’s ability to borrow to finance its assets and the terms thereof; changes in governmental laws, regulations or policies affecting the Company’s business; changes in the Company's relationships with its external managers; the Company’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal tax purposes; the Company’s ability to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and risks associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions and the general economy. These and other risks, uncertainties and factors, including the risk factors described in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements it makes. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time and it is not possible to predict those events or how they may affect the Company.
