RESIDENTIAL WHOLE LOAN OPPORTUNITIES
Non-Agency Residential Mortgage Origination Tailwinds
-
Expect to see growth in most segments of the New Origination Non-Agency mortgage space including Non-QM, Prime Jumbo, Expanded Prime, Jumbo Prime High LTV along with conventional (GSE Eligible) products
-
Over the next few years, annual issuances can grow up to
$150-200 billion as compared to the historical market that had struggled to surpass$50 billion since the Financial Crisis
-
Over the next few years, annual issuances can grow up to
-
Growth will be driven by a combination of market, regulatory, and structural changes:
- Recent amendments to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, inclusive of a 7% cap on second homes and investor properties, and the expiring GSE QM ("Qualified Mortgage") Patch will create opportunity for private capital
-
CFPB amendment of the Ability to Repay framework replaced with a spread to APR over Average PrimeOffer Rate for determining QM Safe Harbor and QM Rebuttable Presumption is expected to expand origination volumes as institutions re-evaluate associated risks and underwriting costs - Margin compression combined with historic capacity and regulatory relief will drive originators who previously de-emphasized or discontinued Non-Agency production to re-enter the market as well as bring new competitors into the space
Market and Economic Outlook
-
Attractive risk adjusted returns with prudent expansion of underwriting
- The MBA Mortgage Credit Availability Index is currently at levels last seen in 2013
- Favorable gestation financing and securitization markets
-
Increased production driven by the new regulatory framework
- Decreased risk, costs, and timelines associated with origination
- Increased capital efficiency
- Fundamentals remain favorable for the housing market and the consumer
Our Strategic Plan
-
Streamline MITT’s business model to focus on residential whole loan investments, ultimately positioning the company as a pure play residential credit company
- Simplified asset mix with a focus on strong credit fundamentals when deploying capital into newly originated Non-Agency whole loan opportunities
- Reduced leverage risk due to emphasis on securitization financing which provides non-MTM non-recourse financing at lower cost of funds
- Utilize Agency RMBS for our investment company act exemption and liquidity purposes while also generating attractive returns
Competitive Advantage
- MITT is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity given the depth of the current investment team which has a proven record of sourcing whole loans
-
Red Creek , an affiliate ofAngelo Gordon , allows MITT to streamline asset management services over its investment portfolio - Arc Home, a vertically integrated mortgage origination affiliate, provides the ability to organically grow origination and product offerings

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
This press release contains Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure. Our presentation of Core Earnings may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies, who may use different calculations. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
We define Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as Net Income/(loss) available to common stockholders excluding (i) (a) unrealized gains/(losses) on real estate securities, loans, derivatives and other investments, inclusive of our investment in AG Arc, and (b) net realized gains/(losses) on the sale or termination of such instruments, (ii) any transaction related expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of our investments, (iii) accrued deal-related performance fees payable to Arc Home and third party operators to the extent the primary component of the accrual relates to items that are excluded from Core Earnings, such as unrealized and realized gains/(losses), (iv) realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of Arc Home's net mortgage servicing rights and the derivatives intended to offset changes in the fair value of those net mortgage servicing rights, (v) deferred taxes recognized at our taxable REIT subsidiaries, if any, (vi) any foreign currency gain/(loss) relating to monetary assets and liabilities, (vii) income from discontinued operations, and (viii) any gains/(losses) associated with exchange transactions on our common and preferred stock. Items (i) through (viii) above include any amount related to those items held in affiliated entities. Management considers the transaction related expenses referenced in (ii) above to be similar to realized losses incurred at the acquisition or disposition of an asset and does not view them as being part of its core operations. Management views the exclusion described in (iv) above to be consistent with how it calculates Core Earnings on the remainder of its portfolio. Management excludes all deferred taxes because it believes deferred taxes are not representative of current operations. As defined, Core Earnings include the net interest income and other income earned on our investments on a yield adjusted basis, including TBA dollar roll income or any other investment activity that may earn or pay net interest or its economic equivalent.
