Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

ATLANTA – November 6, 2024 -- Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. (NYSE: AOMR) (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”), a leading real estate finance company focused on acquiring and investing in first lien non-QM loans and other mortgage-related assets in the U.S. mortgage market, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Highlights
•Q3 2024 net interest income of $9.0 million, an increase of 22% versus $7.4 million in Q3 2023.
•Net interest income of $27.1 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of 31% versus net interest income of $20.7 million in the first nine months of 2023.
•Q3 2024 GAAP net income of $31.2 million, or $1.29 per diluted share of common stock.
•Q3 2024 Distributable Earnings loss of ($3.4) million, or ($0.14) per diluted share of common stock.
•GAAP book value of $11.28 per share of common stock as of September 30, 2024, up 10.3% from $10.23 per share of common stock as of June 30, 2024.
•Economic book value of $14.02 per share of common stock as of September 30, 2024, up 6.5% from $13.16 per share of common stock as of June 30, 2024.
•Issued $50 million of 9.50% senior unsecured notes due 2029 on July 25, 2024. Deployed majority of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of non-QM loans; used the remainder of the net proceeds to repurchase approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock.

Sreeni Prabhu, Chief Executive Officer and President of Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc., said "Our positive third quarter results reflect the strength of our portfolio's position in what has become a more positive macroeconomic landscape in the second half of the year. Throughout the quarter, we quickly deployed the majority of the net proceeds from our July senior unsecured notes issuance into accretive purchases of newly originated, high-quality non-QM loans. As of today's date, the earnings from these investments have exceeded the incremental interest expense associated with the notes issuance and are now driving meaningful net interest income expansion, which underscores the efficiency and reliability of AOMR's distinctive operational strategy and approach. This, in combination with October's securitization and the September rate cut, are expected to drive continued portfolio and earnings growth in the fourth quarter and beyond. We believe a constructive macroeconomic landscape is developing and remain dedicated to capitalizing on emerging strategic opportunities while executing on our repeatable, streamlined, and focused strategy to drive enhanced value for our stakeholders.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity
•Following quarter end in October 2024, the Company executed the AOMT 2024-10 securitization as the sole contributor of loans. The Company contributed loans with a scheduled unpaid principal balance of approximately $316.8 million and a 7.79% weighted average coupon. This securitization reduced the Company’s whole loan warehouse debt by approximately $260 million and reduced weighted average funding costs for the loans underlying the securitization by over 110 basis points, which is incremental to the 50 basis points of warehouse funding cost relief from the Federal Reserve Bank’s September rate cut.
•During the quarter, we purchased $264.8 million of newly-originated, current market coupon non-QM residential mortgage loans, with a weighted average coupon of 7.74%, weighted average LTV of 70.0% and weighted average credit score of 754.



•As of September 30, 2024, the weighted average coupon of our residential whole loans portfolio increased to 7.73%, relatively flat compared to the second quarter 2024 and 189 basis points higher than at the end of the third quarter of 2023.


Capital Markets Activity
•On July 25, 2024, the Company issued $50 million of senior unsecured notes due 2029 with a coupon of 9.50%. This issuance is expected to be accretive, driving incremental asset expansion and earnings growth. During the third quarter, the Company used the majority of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which included the acquisition of non-QM loans. Additionally, the Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase 1,707,922 shares of the Company's common stock owned by Xylem Finance, LLC, an affiliate of Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $20.0 million.
•As of September 30, 2024, the Company was a party to three loan financing lines which permit borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $1.1 billion, of which approximately $333.0 million is drawn, leaving capacity of approximately $720 million for new loan purchases.

Balance Sheet
•Target assets totaled $2.2 billion as of September 30, 2024.
•The Company held residential mortgage whole loans with fair value of $428.9 million as of September 30, 2024.
•The recourse debt to equity ratio was 1.8x as of September 30, 2024.
oAs of today’s date, our recourse debt to equity ratio is approximately 0.7x. This reflects the impact of the AOMT 2024-10 securitization subsequent to quarter end, as well as the maturity of short-term U.S. Treasuries held at the end of the third quarter.
oOur recourse debt to equity ratio is expected to increase as current-market coupon loans are purchased, but is expected to remain below 2.5x.

Dividend
On November 6, 2024, the Company declared a dividend of $0.32 per share of common stock, which will be paid on November 27, 2024, to common stockholders of record as of November 19, 2024.

Non-GAAP Metrics
Distributable Earnings is a non‑GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), excluding (1) unrealized gains and losses on our aggregate portfolio, (2) impairment losses, (3) extinguishment of debt, (4) non-cash equity compensation expense, (5) the incentive fee earned by Falcons I, LLC, our external manager (our “Manager”), (6) realized gains or losses on swap terminations and (7) certain other nonrecurring gains or losses. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our real estate investment trust (“REIT”) peers, but has important limitations. We believe Distributable Earnings as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as annual or annualized Distributable Earnings divided by average total stockholders’ equity. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our REIT peers, but has important limitations. Additionally, we believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with additional detail on the Distributable Earnings generated by our invested equity capital. We believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

Economic book value is a non-GAAP financial measure of our financial position. To calculate our economic book value, the portions of our non-recourse financing obligation held at amortized cost are adjusted to fair value. These adjustments are also reflected in our end of period total stockholders’ equity. Management considers economic book value to provide investors with a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our financial position as it reflects the impact of fair value changes for our legally held retained bonds, irrespective of the accounting model applied for GAAP reporting purposes. Economic book value does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for book value per share of common stock or stockholders’ equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
