  • Positive total return on equity of 0.6% for Q4 2024

Insights

Orchid Island Capital's Q4 2024 results present a mixed financial picture. The estimated book value per share of $8.09 and quarterly net income of $0.07 per share, including $0.02 in RMBS gains, demonstrate modest performance. The total return on equity of 0.6% for Q4 indicates minimal growth.

The dividend sustainability requires scrutiny - the monthly dividend of $0.12 per share ($0.36 quarterly) significantly exceeds the quarterly earnings of $0.07 per share. This negative dividend coverage ratio suggests the current dividend level may not be sustainable without capital erosion. The book value decline of $0.31 per share during Q4 further supports this concern.

The increase in outstanding shares from 78.08M to 82.62M during Q4 indicates dilutive capital raising, which could pressure per-share metrics. While maintaining REIT status requires distributing 90% of taxable income, the current distribution rate appears aggressive relative to earnings capacity.

The operational metrics reveal concerning trends in Orchid's mortgage REIT business model. The stockholders' equity of approximately $668.5M provides a capital base for the RMBS portfolio, but the declining book value signals challenges in portfolio management and interest rate positioning.

The gap between GAAP earnings and dividend payments is particularly troubling. While REITs often distribute based on taxable income rather than GAAP earnings, the significant shortfall between the $0.07 quarterly earnings and $0.36 dividend payout raises questions about distribution sustainability. The modest 0.6% quarterly return on equity falls well below what investors typically expect from mortgage REITs.

The expanded share count through Q4 suggests reliance on equity issuance to support operations, which can be dilutive to existing shareholders if not deployed accretively. The company's careful wording about future distributions ("not assured of its ability to make distributions") may signal management's own concerns about maintaining the current dividend level.

VERO BEACH, Fla., Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ORC) announced today that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of January 2025. The dividend of $0.12 per share will be paid February 27, 2025 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on January 31, 2025, with an ex-dividend date of January 31, 2025. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on February 12, 2025.

The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its holders of common stock. In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), the Company must distribute annually to its stockholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. The Company will be subject to income tax on taxable income that is not distributed and to an excise tax to the extent that a certain percentage of its taxable income is not distributed by specified dates. The Company has not established a minimum distribution payment level and is not assured of its ability to make distributions to stockholders in the future.

As of January 8, 2025, the Company had 84,613,638 shares of common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 82,622,464 shares of common stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 78,082,645 shares of common stock outstanding.

Estimated December 31, 2024 Book Value Per Share

The Company’s estimated book value per share as of December 31, 2024 was $8.09.  The Company computes book value per share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock. At December 31, 2024, the Company's preliminary estimated total stockholders' equity was approximately $668.5 million with 82,622,464 shares of common stock outstanding. These figures and the resulting estimated book value per share are preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. 

Estimated Net Income Per Share and Realized and Unrealized Gains on RMBS and Derivative Instruments

The Company estimates it generated net income per share of $0.07 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, which includes an estimated $0.02 per share of net realized and unrealized gains on RMBS and derivative instruments. These amounts compare to total dividends declared during the quarter of $0.36 per share.  Net income per common share calculated under generally accepted accounting principles can, and does, differ from our REIT taxable income.  The Company views REIT taxable income as a better indication of income to be paid in the form of a dividend rather than net income. Many components of REIT taxable income can only be estimated at this time and our monthly dividends declared are based on both estimates of REIT taxable income to be earned over the course of the current quarter and calendar year and a longer-term estimate of the REIT taxable income of the Company. These figures are preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. 

Estimated Total Return on Equity

The Company’s estimated total return on equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was 0.6%. The Company calculates total return on equity as the sum of dividends declared and paid during the quarter plus changes in book value during the quarter, divided by the Company’s stockholders’ equity at the beginning of the quarter.  The total return was $0.05 per share, comprised of dividends per share of $0.36 and a decrease in book value per share of $0.31 from September 30, 2024.

RMBS Portfolio Characteristics

Details of the RMBS portfolio as of December 31, 2024 are presented below. These figures are preliminary and subject to change and, with respect to figures that will appear in the Company’s financial statements and associated footnotes as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, are subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm:
