Update from John Anzalone, Chief Executive Officer
"During the first quarter, financial markets reacted negatively to proposed U.S. fiscal and trade policies given concerns they could result in slower economic growth and higher inflation. Despite weaker market sentiment, Agency RMBS performance was largely consistent with Treasuries, with higher coupons modestly outperforming their hedges as longer-dated interest rate volatility trended lower. This resulted in an economic return for the quarter of 2.6%, consisting of our $0.34 dividend per common share and an $0.11 decline in book value per common share.
"We ended the first quarter with a debt-to-equity ratio of 7.1x, up from 6.7x as of December 31, 2024. At quarter end, our $5.9 billion investment portfolio primarily consisted of $5.0 billion Agency RMBS and $0.9 billion Agency CMBS, and we maintained a sizeable balance of unrestricted cash and unencumbered investments totaling $372 million.
"Agency RMBS sharply underperformed Treasuries in April given a significant increase in interest rate volatility and deterioration in risk sentiment driven by rapidly evolving U.S. trade policy. Our book value per common share declined as a result and is estimated to be between $7.74 and $8.06(4) as of April 30, 2025. We remain cautious on the near-term outlook for markets given elevated policy uncertainty and will continue to prudently manage our investment portfolio and liquidity position.
"Our long-term outlook for Agency RMBS is favorable, however, as we expect investor demand to strengthen in higher coupons given attractive valuations, an eventual decline in interest rate volatility, and a steeper yield curve. Finally, while Agency CMBS risk premiums may remain elevated until sentiment in the broader fixed income market improves, limited issuance, strong fundamental performance and stable cash flow profiles should provide favorable support for this sector."
