Vero Beach, Fla., April 13, 2016 - Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:ORC) announced today that the Board of Directors declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of April 2016. The dividend of $0.14 per share will be paid April 29, 2016, to holders of record on April 26, 2016, with an ex-dividend date of April 22, 2016.
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 April 13, 2016, the Company had 21,775,356 shares outstanding. At December 31, 2015, the Company had 21,749,490 shares outstanding.
Estimated March 31, 2016 Book Value Per Share
The Company’s estimated book value per share as of March 31, 2016 was $10.99. 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 March 31, 2016, the Company's preliminary estimated total stockholders' equity was approximately $239.4 million with 21,772,464 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 March 31, 2016 was (2.0)%, or (7.9)% 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 $(0.23) per share, comprised of dividends per share of $0.42 and a decrease in book value per share of $0.65 from December 31, 2015.
RMBS Portfolio Characteristics
Details of the RMBS portfolio as of March 31, 2016 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 March 31, 2016, are subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
