First Quarter Earnings and Related Discussion

Capstead reported GAAP net income of $18.9 million or $0.15 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $23.3 million or $0.19 per diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The Company reported core earnings of $17.4 million or $0.13 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This compares to core earnings of $19.7 million or $0.15 per diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this release for more information on core earnings.

Yields on the Company’s portfolio of agency-guaranteed residential ARM securities averaged 1.38% during the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 17 basis points from 1.55% reported for the fourth quarter of 2020. Yields declined due primarily to lower coupon interest rates on existing loans that reset lower based on prevailing interest rates as well as higher yield adjustments for investment premium amortization due to changes in lifetime prepayment estimates. Mortgage prepayment rates decreased during the quarter to an average annualized constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) of 37.12%, compared to 38.67% CPR in the prior quarter. Portfolio leverage decreased to 6.79 to one at March 31, 2021 compared to 7.26 to one at December 31, 2020.

The following table illustrates the progression of Capstead’s portfolio of residential mortgage investments for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Residential mortgage investments, December 31, 2020		$	7,937,552
Portfolio acquisitions (principal amount)			387,830
Investment premiums on acquisitions			16,394
Portfolio runoff (principal amount)			(893,995	)
Investment premium amortization			(20,887	)
Decrease in net unrealized gains on securities classified as available-for-sale			(21,483	)
Residential mortgage investments, March 31, 2021		$	7,405,411
Decrease in residential mortgage investments during the period		$	(532,141	)

Rates on Capstead’s secured borrowings, after adjusting for hedging activities, averaged 17 basis points lower at 0.20% during the first quarter of 2021, compared to 0.37% for the prior quarter. Borrowing rates before hedging activities averaged 0.20% during the first quarter, a decline of three basis points from the prior quarter. Secured borrowings ended the quarter at $6.81 billion.

Notional amounts of secured borrowings-related interest rate swap agreements averaged $2.99 billion during the first quarter of 2021 with fixed swap rates averaging 0.04%, 33 basis points lower than the prior quarter. At March 31, 2021, the Company held $3.22 billion notional amount of secured borrowings-related interest rate swaps with fixed rates averaging 0.06%, an increase of $250 million in notional amount and two basis points in rate from swaps held on December 31, 2020. The Company’s duration gap, a measure of interest rate risk, decreased from approximately three and one-half months at December 31^st to three and one-quarter months at March 31, 2021 – see page 10 for further information.

Capstead operates a highly efficient, internally-managed investment platform, particularly compared to other mortgage REITs, and has a competitive cost structure relative to a wide variety of high yielding investment vehicles. Operating costs expressed as an annualized percentage of long-term investment capital averaged 1.43% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. As an annualized percentage of total assets, operating costs averaged 0.18% during this period.

Book Value per Common Share

Book value per share as of March 31, 2021 was $6.66, a decrease of $0.10 for the quarter primarily reflecting $0.22 in portfolio-related declines in value and $0.05 in declines related to capital activity, partially offset by $0.17 in derivative-related increases. Capstead’s investment strategy attempts to mitigate risks to book value by focusing on investments in agency-guaranteed residential mortgage pass-through securities, which are considered to have little, if any, credit risk and are collateralized by ARM loans with interest rates that reset periodically to more current levels. Because of these characteristics, the fair value of the Company’s portfolio is expected to be less vulnerable to significant pricing declines caused by credit concerns or rising interest rates compared to leveraged portfolios containing a significant amount of non-agency-guaranteed securities or agency-guaranteed securities backed by longer-duration fixed-rate loans. Fair value is impacted by market conditions, including changes in interest rates and the availability of financing at reasonable rates and leverage levels.

Management Remarks

Commenting on current operating and market conditions, Phillip A. Reinsch, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our first quarter results were impacted by our choice to not invest all of our available capital at what we view as unacceptably low projected risk-adjusted returns. As a consequence, we did not replace all of our portfolio runoff for the second consecutive quarter during a period of continued high mortgage prepayments, leading to lower portfolio and leverage levels and lower earnings. This has increased our flexibility to take advantage of more compelling opportunities should they arise as the year unfolds.

“Now that the transition from LIBOR- to SOFR-based ARM production is largely complete and with the pronounced steepening in the yield curve through higher longer term interest rates year-to-date, we are seeing sizable increases in new ARM production. This bodes well for investment opportunities going forward. However, there remains strong demand for agency-guaranteed ARM securities which could continue to limit our reinvestment opportunities.

“We see mortgage prepayment rates peaking as the second quarter progresses due in large part to increases in prevailing fixed-rate mortgage rates of nearly 50 basis points since year-end leading to lower portfolio runoff in the coming quarters. If longer-term interest rates continue increasing in the coming quarters, further declines in prepayments can be expected. Meanwhile, short-term interest rates have remained at historical lows, with one-month LIBOR declining three basis points to 11 basis points during the quarter and two-year U.S. Treasury rates only increasing about 4 basis points since year end, indicative of market expectations for little change in borrowing rates for some time to come.

“Book value declined by only 1.4% during the first quarter despite continued high portfolio runoff and a significant increase in longer-term interest rates, with the ten-year U.S. Treasury rate increasing a surprising 82 basis points during the quarter. This comparatively modest decline in book value was due in large part to strong demand for agency-guaranteed ARM securities, fairly stable yields on the shorter end of the yield curve and increases in value of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes.

“Since quarter-end, pricing levels for agency-guaranteed ARM securities have been fairly stable relative to a further rise in longer-term interest rates while April portfolio runoff reached 43.7% CPR. As of April 23^rd, our last internal measurement date, book value per share was lower by approximately $0.03, primarily due to continued high portfolio runoff in April.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management believes the presentation of core earnings and core earnings per common share, both non-GAAP financial measures, when analyzed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP operating results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate the Company’s performance and provides investors management’s view of the Company’s economic performance.

Management also believes that presenting financing spreads on residential mortgage investments, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides important information for evaluating the performance of the Company’s portfolio, as opposed to total financing spreads, because this non-GAAP measure speaks specifically to the performance of the Company’s investment portfolio. See the “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures” section of this release.

(a)		Amortized cost basis represents the Company’s investment (unpaid principal balance plus unamortized investment premiums) before unrealized gains and losses. At March 31, 2021, the ratio of amortized cost basis to unpaid principal balance for the Company’s ARM holdings was 103.76.
(b)		Net WAC, or weighted average coupon, is the weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loans underlying the indicated investments, net of servicing and other fees as of the indicated date. Net WAC is expressed as a percentage calculated on an annualized basis on the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans underlying these investments. As such, it is similar to the cash yield on the portfolio which is calculated using amortized cost basis. Fully indexed WAC represents the weighted average coupon upon one or more resets using interest rate indices and net margins as of the indicated date. Average net margins represent the weighted average levels over the underlying indices that the portfolio can adjust to upon reset, usually subject to initial, periodic and/or lifetime caps on the amount of such adjustments during any single interest rate adjustment period and over the contractual term of the underlying loans. ARM securities with initial fixed-rate periods of five years or longer typically have either 200 or 500 basis point initial caps with 200 basis point periodic caps. Additionally, certain ARM securities held by the Company are subject only to lifetime caps or are not subject to a cap. For presentation purposes, average periodic caps in the table above reflect initial caps until after an ARM security has reached its initial reset date and lifetime caps, less the current net WAC, for ARM securities subject only to lifetime caps. At quarter-end, 73% of current-reset ARMs were subject to periodic caps averaging 1.91%; 19% were subject to initial caps averaging 3.14%; and 8% were subject to lifetime caps averaging 7.92%.
(c)		Months-to-roll is a measure of the average length of time until the loans underlying each security reset to more current rates. After consideration of any applicable initial fixed-rate periods, at March 31, 2021 approximately 90%, 5% and 3% of the Company’s ARM securities were backed by mortgage loans that reset annually, semi-annually and monthly, respectively, while approximately 2% reset every five years. Approximately 81% of the Company’s current-reset ARM securities have reached an initial coupon reset date. Approximately 17% of the Company’s current-reset ARM securities are scheduled to reset in rate within three months, 38% are scheduled to reset in rate between four and six months, and 31% are scheduled to reset in rate between seven and 12 months.
(d)		Gross WAC is the weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loans underlying the indicated investments, including servicing and other fees paid by borrowers, as of the indicated balance sheet date.
