Five Oaks Investment Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Oaks Investment Corp. (NYSE: OAKS) ("we", "Five Oaks" or "the Company") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. For the third quarter, the Company reported GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders of $5.1 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, a comprehensive loss of $2.9 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, and core earnings (1) of $2.4 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share. The Company also reported a net book value of $5.12 per share on a basic and diluted basis at September 30, 2017.

Third Quarter Summary

  • We reported an economic loss on common equity of 2.59% (10.35% annualized), comprised of a $0.29 decrease in book value per share and a $0.15 dividend per common share(2). The decrease in book value was due to increased financing costs during the quarter which contracted our net interest margin, continued wider spreads on Agency hybrid ARM securities relative to 15 and 30-year collateral, contributing to unrealized losses on our investment portfolio and realized losses on our hedge portfolio.
  • During the quarter, we rotated out of $416.0 million of seasoned shorter duration Agency ARMs and into $513.6 million of new issue longer duration Agency ARMs. This rotation allowed us to increase the yield of the Agency portfolio from 2.34% as at second quarter period end to 2.47% as at third quarter period end by replacing the lower yielding seasoned Agency ARMs with new issue higher yielding Agency ARMs which we anticipate should benefit our net interest income in future quarters.

(1) Core Earnings is a non-GAAP measure that we define as GAAP net income, excluding impairment losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on the aggregate portfolio and certain non-recurring upfront costs related to securitization transactions or other one-time charges. As defined, Core Earnings includes interest income or expense and premium income or loss on derivative instruments.

(2) Economic return is a non-GAAP measure that we define as the sum of the change in net book value per common share and dividends declared on our common stock during the period over the beginning net book value per common share.

Management Observations

David Carroll, Five Oaks' Chairman and CEO commented:

"In the third quarter the yield curve again flattened as short-term interest rates adjusted to the Fed's June tightening, and growing expectations of another rate increase later this year.  While market expectations contemplate up to three additional rate hikes over the next year, it remains unclear how high the Fed can raise short-term interest rates while also pursuing a non-traditional policy of balance sheet tapering.  We believe that we may be closer to the end of the traditional rate-hiking cycle given continued subdued inflation, but economic data and rate movements since the end of the third quarter are suggestive of continued and perhaps strengthening economic momentum.  Longer term, a market in which the Federal Reserve is reducing its purchases of both treasuries and mortgages should be an attractive one for buying and leveraging hybrid agency securities.

"Shorter term, however, in a flatter yield curve environment, hybrid agencies tend to underperform 15 and 30-year fixed-rate mortgages.  This was evident in the third quarter, with hybrid agency spreads widening slightly, while fixed-rate mortgages tightened.  This was a contributory factor in our third quarter book value decline, along with realized hedging losses, and the reduction in net interest income due to higher financing rates, which meant that we under-earned our dividend in the quarter.  In addition, we rotated out of over $400 million of assets that had rolled down the curve, and invested in over $500 million of longer-duration new issue hybrid agencies at higher yields.  This had limited impact on our Q3 results since it was effected close to the end of the quarter, but should boost earnings going forward.  We continue to believe that an investment strategy focused on Agency hybrid ARMs should provide both attractive yield and positive price "roll" down the curve along with enhanced extension protection over a full interest rate cycle."

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. You can identify forward-looking statements by use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "continue," "intend," "should," "may" or similar expressions or other comparable terms, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking: the return on equity; the yield on investments; the ability to borrow to finance assets; and risks associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions, interest rates, the general economy and political conditions and related matters. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company's beliefs, assumptions and expectations of its future performance, taking into account all information currently available to the Company. Actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the Company's control. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors are contained in the Company's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements that the Company makes, or that are attributable to the Company, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, the Company is not obligated to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

For financial statement reporting purposes, GAAP requires us to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the FREMF 2011-K13, FREMF 2012-KF01, and CSMC 2014-OAK1 Trusts.  However, our maximum exposure to loss from consolidation of the trusts is limited to the fair value of our net investment therein. We therefore have also presented certain information as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 that includes our net investments in the consolidated trusts. This information as well as core earnings, economic return and comparative expenses constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the SEC. While we believe the non-GAAP information included in this press release provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing that portion of our portfolio composed of Non-Agency RMBS and Multi-Family MBS, and to assist investors in comparing our results with other peer issuers, these measures are not in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, our financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Additional Information

As of September 30, 2017, we have determined that we were the primary beneficiary of two Multi-Family MBS securitization trusts, the FREMF 2011-K13 Trust, and the FREMF 2012-KF01 Trust. As a result, we are required to consolidate the trusts' underlying multi-family loans together with their liabilities, income and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We have elected the fair value option on the assets and liabilities held within the trusts, which requires that changes in valuation in the assets and liabilities of these trusts be reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.
