Management Commentary

Commenting on the third quarter results, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In a continuation of the extremely turbulent and volatile market conditions that have existed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the third quarter of 2022 the markets and the outlook for monetary policy changed materially. The reaction on the part of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to inflation and economic data has shaped the rates markets, currency markets and the outlook for the economy since the spring of 2021. This is when inflation first began to accelerate in the U.S. During the third quarter their outlook the Fed’s outlook changed significantly. Through early August of 2022 the markets perceived that, while inflation was not transitory, the Fed would be able to dampen demand by raising rates and cause inflation to decrease back towards the Fed’s long-term target of 2%. Further, the market anticipated this would happen by early in 2023 and that the Fed would then start to loosen monetary policy shortly thereafter. The Fed, through repeated public comments by various Fed officials, stressed that this was not going to be the case. Incoming economic data over the period was persistently strong, indicating the rate increases to date had yet to slow demand. More importantly, incoming inflation data showed no evidence of slowing at all and was in fact becoming more widespread, possibly even well entrenched. This reinforced the notion that the Fed will have to take rates higher and for longer.

“The result of these developments was significant and widespread. Specific to Orchid Island were increases in market interest rates and a widening in the spreads that Agency RMBS securities trade relative to comparable duration U.S. Treasuries or swaps. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury closed just above 3.83% on September 30, 2022, and surpassed 4% in October of 2022. Short-term rates increased even more as the curve became even more inverted. Interest rates on maturities inside three months increased by 160 basis points by the end of the quarter and by over 236 basis points since the end of the second quarter through October 26, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, market pricing implied the terminal rate for the current cycle would be approximately 4.53% - anticipated to occur late in the first quarter of 2023. As of October 26, 2022, the market is pricing in a terminal rate of approximately 4.85% sometime late in the second quarter of 2023 and with the Fed funds rate still over 4.39% in early 2024.

“Agency RMBS spreads relative to benchmark interest rates increased to levels observed in March of 2020 by the end of the third quarter of 2022 and have exceeded those levels in October. Returns for the Agency RMBS market for the third quarter of 2022 were (5.4)% and these returns were 1.7% lower than comparable duration LIBOR swaps. The relative performance across the Agency RMBS universe is skewed in favor of higher coupon, 30-year securities that are currently in production by originators. Lower coupon securities, especially those held in large amounts by the Fed, and which may eventually be sold by the Fed, have performed the worst. These results are consistent with the relative duration of the securities, as higher coupons have shorter durations, or less sensitivity to movements in interest rates. Actions by the Fed as described above may prevent the sector from performing well in the near term but, if the economy does contract and enter a recession, the sector could do well on a relative performance basis owing to the lack of credit exposure of Agency RMBS. This is consistent with the sector’s history of performance in a counter-cyclical manner – doing well when the economy is soft and relatively poorly when the economy is strong.”

Details of Third Quarter 2022 Results of Operations

The Company reported net loss of $84.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, compared with net income of $26.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2021. The Company decreased its Agency RMBS portfolio over the course of the first nine months of 2022, from $6.5 billion at December 31, 2021 to $3.2 billion at September 30, 2022. Interest income on the portfolio in the third quarter was up approximately $0.3 million from the second quarter of 2022. The yield on our average MBS increased from 3.31% in the second quarter of 2022 to 3.99% for the third quarter of 2022, repurchase agreement borrowing costs increased from 0.80% for the second quarter of 2022 to 2.48% for the third quarter of 2022, and our net interest spread decreased from 2.51% in the second quarter of 2022 to 1.51% in the third quarter of 2022.

Book value decreased by $2.94 per share in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in book value reflects our net loss of $2.40 per share and the dividend distribution of $0.545 per share. The Company recorded net realized and unrealized losses of $2.66 per share on Agency RMBS assets and derivative instruments, including net interest income on interest rate swaps.

The Company estimates book value per share as of October 26, 2022 to be approximately $10.60 to $10.70 per share. The estimated book value per share includes a deduction for the Company’s September 2022 dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock that will be paid on October 27, 2022, which was declared on September 12, 2022 with a September 30, 2022 record date. The estimated book value per share range is unaudited and has not been verified or reviewed by any third party. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise its estimated book value per share.

Prepayments

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, Orchid received $96.6 million in scheduled and unscheduled principal repayments and prepayments, which equated to a 3-month constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) of approximately 6.5%. Prepayment rates on the two RMBS sub-portfolios were as follows (in CPR):

(1)

Effective duration of 5.800 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 5.800% decrease in the value of the RMBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2022. An effective duration of 3.390 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.390% decrease in the value of the RMBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2021. These figures include the structured securities in the portfolio, but do not include the effect of the Company’s funding cost hedges. Effective duration quotes for individual investments are obtained from The Yield Book, Inc.

Financing, Leverage and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding repurchase obligations of approximately $3,133.9 million with a net weighted average borrowing rate of 3.00%. These agreements were collateralized by RMBS with a fair value, including accrued interest, of approximately $3,206.4 million and cash pledged to counterparties of approximately $49.4 million. The Company’s leverage ratio at September 30, 2022 was 8.5 to 1. At September 30, 2022, the Company’s liquidity was approximately $219.6 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and unpledged RMBS (not including unsettled securities purchases). To enhance our liquidity even further, we may pledge more of our structured RMBS as part of a repurchase agreement funding, but retain the cash in lieu of acquiring additional assets. In this way we can, at a modest cost, retain higher levels of cash on hand and decrease the likelihood we will have to sell assets in a distressed market in order to raise cash. Below is a list of our outstanding borrowings under repurchase obligations at September 30, 2022.

Hedging

In connection with its interest rate risk management strategy, the Company economically hedges a portion of the cost of its repurchase agreement funding against a rise in interest rates by entering into derivative financial instrument contracts. The Company has not elected hedging treatment under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in order to align the accounting treatment of its derivative instruments with the treatment of its portfolio assets under the fair value option election. As such, all gains or losses on these instruments are reflected in earnings for all periods presented. At September 30, 2022, such instruments were comprised of Treasury note (“T-Note”) futures contracts, interest rate swap agreements, interest rate swaption agreements, interest rate caps and contracts to buy and sell TBA securities.

The table below presents information related to the Company’s T-Note futures contracts at September 30, 2022.

The Company allocates capital to two RMBS sub-portfolios, the pass-through RMBS portfolio, consisting of mortgage pass-through certificates issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae (the “GSEs”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued by the GSEs (“PT RMBS”), and the structured RMBS portfolio, consisting of interest-only (“IO”) and inverse interest-only (“IIO”) securities. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 62% of the Company’s investable capital (which consists of equity in pledged PT RMBS, available cash and unencumbered assets) was deployed in the PT RMBS portfolio. At September 30, 2022, the allocation to the PT RMBS portfolio increased to approximately 85%.

The tables below present the allocation of capital between the respective portfolios at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and the return on invested capital for each sub-portfolio for the three month period ended September 30, 2022.

At September 30, 2022, there were outstanding repurchase agreement balances of $41.0 million secured by IO securities and $0.5 million secured by IIO securities. We entered into these arrangements to generate additional cash available to meet margin calls on PT RMBS; therefore, we have not considered these balances to be allocated to the structured securities strategy.

(2)

At June 30, 2022, there were outstanding repurchase agreement balances of $144.9 million secured by IO securities and $0.8 million secured by IIO securities. We entered into these arrangements to generate additional cash available to meet margin calls on PT RMBS; therefore, we have not considered these balances to be allocated to the structured securities strategy.

The return on invested capital in the PT RMBS and structured RMBS portfolios was approximately (26.5)% and (1.4)%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022. The combined portfolio generated a return on invested capital of approximately (17.0)%.

Stock Offerings

On October 29, 2021, we entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “October 2021 Equity Distribution Agreement”) with four sales agents pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $250,000,000 of shares of our common stock in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings and privately negotiated transactions. Through September 30, 2022, we issued a total of 3,167,140 shares under the October 2021 Equity Distribution Agreement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $78.3 million, and net proceeds of approximately $77.0 million, after commissions and fees. We did not issue any shares under the October 2021 Equity Distribution Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Stock Repurchase Program

On July 29, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares of our common stock. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases is determined by the Company in its discretion and is subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended or discontinued at the Company’s discretion without prior notice. On February 8, 2018, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the stock repurchase program for up to an additional 904,564 shares of the Company’s common stock. Coupled with the 156,751 shares remaining from the original 400,000 share authorization, the increased authorization brought the total authorization to 1,061,316 shares, representing 10% of the Company’s then outstanding share count. On December 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available in the stock repurchase program for up to an additional 3,372,399 shares, bringing the remaining authorization under the stock repurchase program to 3,539,861 shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock. On October 12, 2022, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available in the stock repurchase program for up to an additional 4,300,000 shares, bringing the remaining authorization under the stock repurchase program to 6,183,601 shares, representing approximately 18% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock. This stock repurchase program has no termination date.

From the inception of the stock repurchase program through September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 1,487,362 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $44.8 million, including commissions and fees, for a weighted average price of $30.12 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 350,206 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $4.4 million, including commissions and fees, for a weighted average price of $12.68 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 1,644,044 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $14.2 million, including commissions and fees, for a weighted average price of $8.64 per share.
