03 May 2016

NEW YORK, May 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq:NYMT) (“NYMT,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Summary of First Quarter 2016:

Net income attributable to common stockholders of $13.7 million, or $0.13 per share.
Portfolio net interest income of $18.1 million and net interest margin of 333 basis points.
Sold distressed residential loans with a carrying value of $34.0 million for aggregate proceeds of $39.5 million, which resulted in realized gains of $5.5 million.
Repaid outstanding FHLBI advances and outstanding notes from our 2013 distressed residential loan securitizations.
Book value per common share of $6.49 at March 31, 2016, delivering an annualized economic return of 11.6%.
Declared first quarter dividend of $0.24 per common share that was paid on April 25, 2016.

Subsequent Developments:

On April 15, 2016, the Company closed on a securitization transaction that involved the issuance and sale of $177.5 million of Class A Notes representing beneficial ownership in a pool of performing and re-performing seasoned mortgage loans. The Company holds 5% of the Class A Notes issued, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the remaining Class A Notes of approximately $167.7 million.

On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with the members of RiverBanc LLC ("RiverBanc"), an investment management firm that manages over $400 million of direct and indirect investments in multifamily apartment properties on behalf of both public and private institutional investors, including the Company. The Company currently owns a 20% interest in RiverBanc. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will acquire the remaining 80% membership interests in RiverBanc for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $24 million. In connection with the closing of the acquisition,
Kevin Donlon, the founder and chief executive officer of RiverBanc, will become the President of New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. The acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2016.

Management Overview

Steven Mumma, NYMT’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented: "The first quarter continued to be a difficult environment for fixed income strategies as the 10-year U.S.Treasury notes hit six month lows at 1.65%, down from 2.30% at the end of 2015, then retracing back up over 2.00% before the end of the first quarter. Credit spreads continued to widen through February before showing signs of recovery in March and ending slightly tighter than spreads at December 31, 2015. Trading volumes and related opportunities decreased during the quarter as banks and other financial institutions adjust to the new regulatory capital requirements as well as the post Dodd-Frank Act proprietary trading limitations. While our earnings per share was negatively impacted by the realities of the environment, our portfolio performed well, delivering an 11.6% annualized economic return with less than a 1% decline in book value.

In light of the first quarter rate environment and disappointing economic activity, and the continued under performance of our Agency RMBS portfolios, we began to reduce our portfolio exposure in this area. At the same time, we implemented a plan to increase our strategic investments in both residential and multi-family credit assets, where we see continued opportunity. We believe these combined actions will provide better risk adjusted returns in light of the current operating environment, and expect this transition to take place over the next several quarters as opportunities to redeploy are identified.

We are particularly enthused about our acquisition of the remaining interests of RiverBanc LLC, and believe that RiverBanc’s balanced approach to both fixed income and growth-oriented investments aligns well with our proven, stable and long-term investment strategy. This acquisition builds on the more than five years of successful partnership between our two companies, and provides us with a significant opportunity to further capitalize on, and enhance our competitive position in, the $2.5 trillionU.S. multi-family market. In RiverBanc, we have a trusted partner that is a leading asset manager with a proven track record of origination and credit underwriting. Moreover, we believe the multi-family investment expertise that RiverBanc founder
Kevin Donlon will bring to our senior management team in his new role as President will significantly strengthen our ability to identify and secure future opportunities in this key area of our strategic portfolio moving forward."

Earnings Summary

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $13.7 million, an increase of $12.7 million from the fourth quarter of 2015.

The portfolio generated net interest income (net of the cost of subordinated debentures) of $18.1 million and net interest margin of 333 basis points, an increase of $1.7 million and 29 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income from our distressed loan portfolio due to timing of collections during the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we recognized other income of $8.9 million, primarily from the following:

Realized gains amounting to $5.5 million from sale and refinancing activity of our distressed residential mortgage loans.
Unrealized gains amounting to $0.8 million recognized on our multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts, driven primarily by tightening of credit spreads in the second half of the first quarter of 2016.
Realized gains of $1.3 million and unrealized losses of $2.5 million on our investment securities and related hedges, respectively, primarily related to our Agency IO portfolio.
Other income of $3.1 million from our investments in unconsolidated entities, including our common and preferred equity ownership interests in RB Multifamily Investors LLC (“RBMI”), an entity that invests in commercial real estate and commercial real estate-related debt investments, and our equity interest in RiverBanc.

Total general, administrative and other expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were approximately $9.4 million, down from $9.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Total expenses included base management and incentive fees of $3.5 million and expenses associated with direct operating costs of our distressed residential mortgage loans of $3.2 million.
