chimera-investment-corporation-reports-3rd-quarter-2022-earnings

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE:CIM) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.


Financial Highlights:

  • 3RD QUARTER GAAP NET LOSS OF $0.88 PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE
  • 3RD QUARTER EARNINGS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION(1) OF $0.27 PER DILUTED COMMON SHARE.
  • GAAP BOOK VALUE OF $7.44 PER COMMON SHARE

Business Highlights:

Third Quarter

  • Extended an existing $489 million non-mark-to-market facility by 29 months to February 2025
  • Entered into $885 million pay fixed interest rate swaps
  • Committed to purchase $687 million Residential Loans
  • Purchased and closed on $66 million Business Purpose Loans
  • Sponsored $370 million CIM 2022-R3 Securitization, which reduced our recourse leverage

Post Quarter

  • Cash balance increased to about $350 million as of October 31, 2022
  • Entered an additional $1.1 billion of pay fixed interest rate swaps
  • Entered $250 million 2-year, non-mark-to-market financing facility bringing our non and limited mark-to- market financing to nearly 50%
  • Expect to close the purchase of $476 million Residential Loans into a long-term non-mark-to market structure which we expect will generate double digit returns
  • Sponsored $145 million CIM 2022-NR1 Securitization, which further reduced our recourse leverage

“In the third quarter, elevated market volatility led to higher rates and wider spreads putting further pressure on our book value. However, these market conditions have brought new opportunities on both sides of the balance sheet,” said Mohit Marria, CEO and Chief Investment Officer. “This quarter we committed to purchasing approximately $750 million mortgage loans, completed a $370 million securitization, and entered into $885 million of new interest rate swaps as a liability hedge against further increases in interest rates.” Mr. Marria further stated, “Since quarter end, we have increased our cash position, entered into an additional $1.1 billion of hedges, closed a new non-mark-to-market financing facility, expect to close a purchase of jumbo prime loans into another long-term non-mark-to-market structure, and lastly, completed a $145 million securitization. We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of new market opportunities and that our patience and investment discipline will benefit our shareholders over the long-term.”

(1) Earnings available for distribution per adjusted diluted common share is a non-GAAP measure. See additional discussion on page 6.

Earnings available for distribution

Earnings available for distribution is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as GAAP net income excluding unrealized gains or losses on financial instruments carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings, realized gains or losses on the sales of investments, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt, interest expense on long term debt, changes in the provision for credit losses, other gains or losses on equity investments, and transaction expenses incurred. In addition, stock compensation expense charges incurred on awards to retirement eligible employees is reflected as an expense over a vesting period (36 months) rather than reported as an immediate expense.

As defined, Earnings available for distribution is the Economic net interest income, as defined previously, reduced by compensation and benefits expenses (adjusted for awards to retirement eligible employees), general and administrative expenses, servicing and asset manager fees, income tax benefits or expenses incurred during the period, as well as the preferred dividend charges. We view Earnings available for distribution as a consistent measure of our investment portfolio’s ability to generate income for distribution to common stockholders. Earnings available for distribution is one of the metrics, but not the exclusive metric, that our Board of Directors uses to determine the amount, if any, of dividends on our common stock. Other metrics that our Board of Directors may consider when determining the amount, if any, of dividends on our common stock include (among others) REIT taxable income, dividend yield, book value, reinvestment opportunities and other cash needs. In addition, Earnings available for distribution is different than REIT taxable income and the determination of whether we have met the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) to our stockholders in order to maintain qualification as a REIT is not based on Earnings available for distribution. Therefore, Earnings available for distribution should not be considered as an indication of our REIT taxable income, a guaranty of our ability to pay dividends, or as a proxy for the amount of dividends we may pay, because Earnings available for distribution excludes certain items that impact our cash needs. We believe Earnings available for distribution as described above helps us and investors evaluate our financial performance period over period without the impact of certain transactions. Therefore, Earnings available for distribution should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income or net income per basic share computed in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our methodology for calculating Earnings available for distribution may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our Earnings available for distribution may not be comparable to the Earnings available for distribution reported by other REITs.

The following table provides GAAP measures of net income and net income per diluted share available to common stockholders for the periods presented and details with respect to reconciling the line items to Earnings available for distribution and related per average diluted common share amounts. Earnings available for distribution is presented on an adjusted dilutive shares basis. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Economic Net Interest Income

Our Economic net interest income is a non-GAAP financial measure that equals GAAP net interest income adjusted for interest expense on long term debt, net periodic interest cost of interest rate swaps and any interest earned on cash. For the purpose of computing economic net interest income and ratios relating to cost of funds measures throughout this section, interest expense includes net payments on our interest rate swaps, which is presented as a part of Net gains (losses) on derivatives in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest rate swaps are used to manage the increase in interest paid on secured financing agreements in a rising rate environment. Presenting the net contractual interest payments on interest rate swaps with the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities reflects our total contractual interest payments. We believe this presentation is useful to investors because it depicts the economic value of our investment strategy by showing all components of interest expense and net interest income of our investment portfolio. However, Economic net interest income should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net interest income computed in accordance with GAAP. Where indicated, interest expense, adjusting for interest payments on long term debt and any interest earned on cash, is referred to as Economic interest expense. Where indicated, net interest income reflecting interest payments on long term debt, net periodic interest cost of interest rate swaps and any interest earned on cash, is referred to as Economic net interest income.

The following table reconciles the Economic net interest income to GAAP net interest income and Economic interest expense to GAAP interest expense for the periods presented.
