RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of June 30, 2015
|
Vero Beach, Fla., July 10, 2015 - Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:ORC) announced today that the Board of Directors declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of July 2015. The dividend of $0.14 per share will be paid July 31, 2015, to holders of record on July 27, 2015, with an ex-dividend date of July 23, 2015.
Commenting on the dividend adjustment, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Company today announced a reduction in its monthly dividend rate from $0.18 to $0.14 per share. The reduction was the result of elevated prepayment speeds which persisted longer than we anticipated. The Company’s portfolio is weighted towards premium coupon pass-through, interest only and inverse interest only RMBS, which are highly sensitive to prepayment rates. The $0.14 monthly dividend brings our pay-out rate more closely in line with the premium amortization that we are currently experiencing in the portfolio.”
The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its stockholders. 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 certain percentages 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 July 10, 2015, the Company had 22,959,817 shares outstanding. At March 31, 2015, the Company had 17,924,383 shares outstanding.
Estimated June 30, 2015 Book Value Per Share
The Company’s estimated book value per share as of June 30, 2015 was $12.38. The Company computes book value per share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of shares outstanding of the Company's common stock. At June 30, 2015, the Company's preliminary estimated total stockholders' equity was approximately $284.2 million with 22,959,817 common shares 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 Return on Equity
The Company’s estimated total return on equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was 0.4%, or 1.6% on an annualized basis. 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 $0.54 and a decrease in book value per share of $0.49 from March 31, 2015.
RMBS Portfolio Characteristics
Details of the RMBS portfolio as of June 30, 2015 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 and six months ended June 30, 2015, are subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
