Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q4 2024 results from Invesco Mortgage Capital present a concerning picture, marked by a sharp reversal from Q3's positive performance to a net loss of $0.09 per share. This deterioration reflects broader challenges in the mortgage REIT sector, particularly the impact of volatile interest rates on Agency RMBS valuations.

The company's strategic decision to redeem Series B Preferred Stock, while improving the capital structure, has led to a higher debt-to-equity ratio of 6.7x, up from 6.1x. This increased leverage, combined with the company's decision to diversify its hedging strategy toward U.S. Treasury futures, suggests a more aggressive risk posture that could amplify both gains and losses in future quarters.

Several key metrics warrant investor attention:

• The 4.8% decline in book value to $8.92 represents significant capital erosion
• The negative economic return of 0.5% highlights the challenges in maintaining shareholder value
• The issuance of 993,837 new shares through the ATM program at what appears to be below book value indicates potential dilution concerns

The maintained quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share, while appearing stable, now represents a higher payout ratio relative to earnings available for distribution of $0.53, raising questions about its sustainability if earnings pressure persists. The company's substantial $389 million liquidity buffer provides some comfort, but the increased leverage and ongoing market volatility suggest heightened risk levels that investors should monitor closely.

ATLANTA, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (NYSE: IVR) (the "Company") today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

• Net loss per common share of $0.09 compared to net income of $0.63 in Q3 2024
• Earnings available for distribution per common share⁽¹⁾ of $0.53 compared to $0.68 in Q3 2024
• Common stock dividend of $0.40 per common share, unchanged from Q3 2024
• Book value per common share⁽²⁾ of $8.92 compared to $9.37 as of September 30, 2024
• Economic return⁽³⁾ of (0.5)% compared to 5.4% in Q3 2024
• Improved capital structure through redemption of Series B Preferred Stock

Update from John Anzalone, Chief Executive Officer

"Long-term Treasury yields rose sharply during the fourth quarter as the disinflationary trend stalled and market participants recalibrated their expectations for future monetary and fiscal policy. The resulting interest rate volatility and reduced investor demand drove underperformance relative to interest rate hedges on our Agency RMBS. Positively, this was partially offset by improved risk premiums on our Agency CMBS as demand for stable cash flow profiles increased. Against this backdrop, book value per common share decreased 4.8% to $8.92 and, when combined with our $0.40 per share common stock dividend, resulted in an economic return of (0.5)% for the quarter. As of February 14, 2025, our book value per common share is estimated to be between $8.90 and $9.26.⁽⁴⁾

"We notably improved our capital structure and reduced our cost of capital by funding the redemption of our Series B Preferred Stock in December with lower cost repurchase agreements. As a result, our debt-to-equity ratio increased to 6.7x at the end of the fourth quarter, up from 6.1x at the end of the third quarter. As of the end of the quarter, approximately 85% of our $5.4 billion investment portfolio was invested in Agency RMBS and 15% was invested in Agency CMBS. We maintained a sizeable balance of unrestricted cash and unencumbered investments totaling $389 million.

"Our earnings available for distribution⁽¹⁾ declined during the fourth quarter as we recognized a one-time charge associated with the redemption of our Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, we diversified the composition of our interest rate hedges, reducing our exposure to changes in swap spreads by increasing our allocation to U.S. Treasury futures. While this negatively impacted our effective net interest income⁽¹⁾ for the quarter, we stand to benefit from future normalization of the yield curve.

"In the near-term, we remain cautious on Agency RMBS as shifting expectations for monetary and fiscal policy may result in elevated interest rate volatility, reducing investor demand. Our long-term outlook for Agency RMBS is favorable, however, as we expect demand to improve in higher coupons given attractive valuations, an eventual decline in interest rate volatility, and a steeper yield curve. Lastly, we expect a gradual increase in Agency CMBS new issuance to be met with robust investor demand, as the sector continues to offer value relative to other fixed income investments due to its prepayment protection and attractive risk-adjusted return profiles."

(1) Earnings available for distribution (and by calculation, earnings available for distribution per common share) and effective net interest income are non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial measures. Refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for important disclosures and reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

(2) Book value per common share as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 is calculated as total stockholders' equity less the liquidation preference of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock ($0 and $180.2 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively, and $106.2 million and $181.9 million as of September 30, 2024, respectively), divided by total common shares outstanding.

(3) Economic return for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 is defined as the change in book value per common share from September 30, 2024 to December 31, 2024 of $(0.45); plus dividends declared of $0.40 per common share; divided by the September 30, 2024 book value per common share of $9.37. Economic return for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 is defined as the change in book value per common share from June 30, 2024 to September 30, 2024 of $0.10; plus dividends declared of $0.40 per common share; divided by the June 30, 2024 book value per common share of $9.27.

(4) Book value per common share as of February 14, 2025 is adjusted to exclude a pro rata portion of the current quarter's common stock dividend (which for purposes of this calculation is assumed to be the same as the previous quarter) and is calculated as total stockholders' equity less the liquidation preference of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock ($178.8 million as of February 14, 2025), divided by total common shares outstanding of 61.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The table below shows the non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses to analyze its operating results and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in assessing its performance as discussed further below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure		Most Directly Comparable U.S. GAAP Measure
Earnings available for distribution (and by calculation, earnings available for distribution per common share)		Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (and by calculation, basic earnings (loss) per common share)
Effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds)		Total interest expense (and by calculation, cost of funds)
Effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin)		Net interest income (and by calculation, net interest rate margin)
Economic debt-to-equity ratio		Debt-to-equity ratio

The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company's management should be analyzed in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be considered substitutes for U.S. GAAP financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of its peer companies.

Earnings Available for Distribution

The Company's business objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to its stockholders, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. The Company uses earnings available for distribution as a measure of its investment portfolio's ability to generate income for distribution to common stockholders and to evaluate its progress toward meeting this objective. The Company calculates earnings available for distribution as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted for (gain) loss on investments, net; realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net; unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net; TBA dollar roll income; gain on repurchase and retirement of preferred stock; foreign currency (gains) losses, net and amortization of net deferred (gain) loss on de-designated interest rate swaps.

By excluding the gains and losses discussed above, the Company believes the presentation of earnings available for distribution provides a consistent measure of operating performance that investors can use to evaluate its results over multiple reporting periods and, to a certain extent, compare to its peer companies. However, because not all of the Company's peer companies use identical operating performance measures, the Company's presentation of earnings available for distribution may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by its peer companies. The Company excludes the impact of gains and losses when calculating earnings available for distribution because (i) when analyzed in conjunction with its U.S. GAAP results, earnings available for distribution provides additional detail of its investment portfolio's earnings capacity and (ii) gains and losses are not accounted for consistently under U.S. GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, certain gains and losses are reflected in net income whereas other gains and losses are reflected in other comprehensive income. For example, a portion of the Company's mortgage-backed securities are classified as available-for-sale securities, and changes in the valuation of these securities are recorded in other comprehensive income on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company elected the fair value option for its mortgage-backed securities purchased on or after September 1, 2016, and changes in the valuation of these securities are recorded in other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, certain gains and losses represent one-time events. The Company may add and has added additional reconciling items to its earnings available for distribution calculation as appropriate.

To maintain qualification as a REIT, U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that the Company distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. The Company has historically distributed at least 100% of its REIT taxable income. Because the Company views earnings available for distribution as a consistent measure of its investment portfolio's ability to generate income for distribution to common stockholders, earnings available for distribution is one metric, but not the exclusive metric, that the Company's board of directors uses to determine the amount, if any, and the payment date of dividends on common stock. However, earnings available for distribution should not be considered as an indication of the Company's taxable income, a guaranty of its ability to pay dividends or as a proxy for the amount of dividends it may pay, as earnings available for distribution excludes certain items that impact its cash needs.

Earnings available for distribution is an incomplete measure of the Company's financial performance and there are other factors that impact the achievement of the Company's business objective. The Company cautions that earnings available for distribution should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), or as an indication of the Company's cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), a measure of the Company's liquidity, or as an indication of amounts available to fund its cash needs.

The table below provides a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to earnings available for distribution for the following periods.

(2)	A TBA dollar roll is a series of derivative transactions where TBAs with the same specified issuer, term and coupon but different settlement dates are simultaneously bought and sold. The TBA settling in the later month typically prices at a discount to the TBA settling in the earlier month. TBA dollar roll income represents the price differential between the TBA price for current month settlement versus the TBA price for forward month settlement. The Company includes TBA dollar roll income in earnings available for distribution because it is the economic equivalent of interest income on the underlying Agency RMBS, less an implied financing cost, over the forward settlement period. TBA dollar roll income is a component of gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Effective Interest Expense/Effective Cost of Funds/Effective Net Interest Income/Effective Interest Rate Margin

The Company calculates effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds) as U.S. GAAP total interest expense adjusted for contractual net interest income (expense) on its interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net and the amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps that is recorded as interest expense. The Company views its interest rate swaps as an economic hedge against increases in future market interest rates on its borrowings. The Company adds back the net payments or receipts on its interest rate swap agreements to its total U.S. GAAP interest expense because the Company uses interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense. The Company excludes the amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps from its calculation of effective interest expense because the Company does not consider the amortization a current component of its borrowing costs.

The Company calculates effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin) as U.S. GAAP net interest income adjusted for contractual net interest income (expense) on its interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net and amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps that is recorded as interest expense.

The Company believes the presentation of effective interest expense, effective cost of funds, effective net interest income and effective interest rate margin measures, when considered together with U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides information that is useful to investors in understanding the Company's borrowing costs and operating performance.

Economic Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The following table shows the Company's debt-to-equity ratio and the Company's economic debt-to-equity ratio as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024. The Company's debt-to-equity ratio is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is the ratio of total debt to total stockholders' equity.

The Company presents an economic debt-to-equity ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure of leverage that considers the impact of the off-balance sheet financing of its investments in TBAs that are accounted for as derivative instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company includes its TBAs at implied cost basis in its measure of leverage because a forward contract to acquire Agency RMBS in the TBA market carries similar risks to Agency RMBS purchased in the cash market and funded with on-balance sheet liabilities. Similarly, a contract for the forward sale of Agency RMBS has substantially the same effect as selling the underlying Agency RMBS and reducing the Company's on-balance sheet funding commitments. The Company believes that presenting its economic debt-to-equity ratio, when considered together with its U.S. GAAP financial measure of debt-to-equity ratio, provides information that is useful to investors in understanding how management evaluates at-risk leverage and gives investors a comparable statistic to those of other mortgage REITs who also invest in TBAs and present a similar non-GAAP measure of leverage.
