VERO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bimini Capital Management, Inc. (OTCQB: BMNM), (“Bimini Capital,” “Bimini,” or the “Company”), today announced results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024.

Management Commentary

Commenting on the third quarter results, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The long-awaited impacts of tight monetary policy orchestrated by the Federal Reserve appear to have finally had the desired impacts on inflation and the imbalances in the labor market. Inflation is closing in on the Fed’s 2% target and hiring and wage growth are slowing while the unemployment rate has steadily risen. In contrast, growth in the economy and consumer spending have remained robust throughout. In late September the Fed reduced the overnight funding rate by 50 basis points, and the market anticipated it was the first of many such cuts.  Unfortunately, the non-farm payroll report for September 2024, released in early October, as well as the latest readings on inflation and consumer spending, imply the economy may not be weakening so much after-all. If this proves to be the case the magnitude and urgency of additional rate cuts by the Fed may differ with those market expectations mentioned above.

“Orchid Island Capital reported net income for the third quarter 2024 of $17.3 million and its shareholders equity increased from $555.9 million to $656.0 million. As a result, Bimini's advisory service revenues of approximately $3.3 million represented a 4% increase over the second quarter. The growth in Orchid’s capital base during the third quarter would translate into higher quarterly revenues – all else equal – for a full quarter. As mentioned above, if the Fed’s easing cycle proves to be brief and the economy remains resilient, capital raising opportunities for Orchid may not materialize in the near term.

“The investment portfolio generated net interest income of $0.3 million inclusive of dividends on our shares of Orchid Island. Mark to market gains and losses on our MBS portfolio, hedge positions and shares of Orchid netted to income of $0.4 million. The Company – inclusive of both the advisory services segment and the investment portfolio segment, recorded net income before taxes for the quarter of $0.8 million versus a net loss before taxes of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2024.”

An effective duration of 2.508 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 2.508% decrease in the value of the MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2023. These figures include the structured securities in the portfolio but not the effect of the Company’s hedges. Effective duration quotes for individual investments are obtained from The Yield Book, Inc.
   

Financing and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding repurchase obligations of approximately $113.0 million with a net weighted average borrowing rate of 5.20%. These agreements were collateralized by MBS with a fair value, including accrued interest, of approximately $118.8 million. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s liquidity was approximately $4.7 million, consisting of unpledged MBS and cash and cash equivalents.

We may pledge more of our structured MBS as part of a repurchase agreement funding but retain cash in lieu of acquiring additional assets. In this way, we can, at a modest cost, retain higher levels of cash on hand and decrease the likelihood we will have to sell assets in a distressed market in order to raise cash. Below is a list of outstanding borrowings under repurchase obligations at September 30, 2024.
