MANAGEMENT REMARKS
"We are pleased with MITT's performance during the second quarter, as
MITT increased its quarterly dividend 5.3% to $0.50 and MITT produced
core earnings above the dividend," said Chief Executive Officer, David
Roberts. "During the quarter, MITT acquired a pool of primarily
re-performing mortgage loans and securitized residential whole loans.
MITT continues to leverage the expertise and experience of the Angelo,
Gordon platform to source residential credit assets. Subsequent to
quarter-end, in the month of July, MITT's book value increased
approximately 2% due to an increase in the value of our credit
portfolio."
"During the second quarter, Agency MBS spreads were stable as demand for
the sector remained robust, supply was manageable, and interest rate
volatility was muted," said Chief Investment Officer, T.J.
Durkin. "Spread performance was mixed across mortgage sectors, with
legacy RMBS spreads relatively flat by quarter-end and spread-tiering in
the CRT sector. Against this backdrop, we continue to take advantage of
a wide range of opportunities at attractive risk-adjusted returns."

*Funding cost and NIM shown in each investment category line
exclude the costs of our interest rate hedges, however these costs
are included in the total funding cost and NIM lines. The total
funding cost and NIM lines excluding the cost of our interest rate
hedges would be 2.6% and 2.5%, respectively.
|
**The leverage ratio on Agency RMBS includes any net receivables
on TBA. The leverage ratio by type of investment is calculated
based on allocated equity.
|
Note: The chart above includes fair value of $0.9mm of Agency
RMBS, $131.5 mm of Residential Investments and $66.1 mm of
Commercial Investments that are included in the "Investments in
debt and equity of affiliates" line item on our consolidated
balance sheet. These items, inclusive of our investment in AG Arc
LLC(14) and other items, net to $129.4 mm which is
included in the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates"
line item on our GAAP Balance Sheet.
|
Premiums and discounts associated with purchases of the Company's
securities are amortized or accreted into interest income over the
estimated life of such securities, using the effective yield method. The
Company recorded a de minimus retrospective adjustment due to the change
in projected cash flows on its Agency RMBS, excluding interest-only
securities and TBAs. Since the cost basis of the Company's Agency RMBS
securities, excluding interest-only securities and TBAs, exceeds the
underlying principal balance by 2.8% as of June 30, 2018, slower actual
and projected prepayments can have a meaningful positive impact, while
faster actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful negative
impact, on the Company's asset yields.
FINANCING AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company, either directly or through its equity method investments in
affiliates, had master repurchase agreements with 40 counterparties,
under which it had debt outstanding with 29 counterparties as of June
30, 2018. The weighted average funding cost was 2.1% for Agency RMBS and
3.4% for Credit Investments. The investment portfolio is financed with
repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2018 as summarized below:

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) unrealized
and realized gains/(losses) on the sale or termination of securities and
the related tax expense/benefit or disposition expense, if any, on such
sale or termination, including investments held in affiliated entities
and derivatives and, beginning with Q2 2018, (ii) any transaction or
termination related expenses. Management considers transaction related
expenses to be similar to realized losses incurred at acquisition and do
not view them as being part of its core operations. As defined, Core
Earnings include the net interest and other income earned on these
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. One of our objectives is to generate net income
from net interest margin on the portfolio, and management uses Core
Earnings to help measure this objective. Management believes that this
non-GAAP measure, when considered with our GAAP financials, provides
supplemental information useful for investors in evaluating our results
of operations. This metric, in conjunction with related GAAP measures,
provides greater transparency into the information used by our
management in its financial and operational decision-making.
A reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(loss) available to common
stockholders to Core Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2018
and the three months ended June 30, 2017 is set forth below:

*For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $(0.1)
million or $(0.00) per diluted share of net income/(loss)
attributed to our investment in AG Arc.(14) For the
three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $0.2 million or
$0.01 per diluted share of net income/(loss) attributed to our
investment in AG Arc.(14)
|
**For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the amount of
transaction related expenses were $0.1 million and did not have a
material impact on core earnings for the period.
|
Footnotes
(1) Diluted per share figures are calculated using weighted average
outstanding shares in accordance with GAAP. Per share figures are
calculated using a denominator of all outstanding common shares
including all shares granted to our Manager and our independent
directors under our equity incentive plans as of quarter-end. Book
value uses stockholders' equity less net proceeds of the Company's
8.25% Series A and 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Stock as the numerator.
|
(2) The economic return on equity for the quarter represents the
change in book value per share from March 31, 2018 to June 30, 2018,
plus the common dividends declared over that period, divided by book
value per share as of March 31, 2018. The annualized economic return
on equity is the quarterly return on equity multiplied by four.
|
(3) The investment portfolio at period end is calculated by summing
the fair market value of our Agency RMBS, any long positions in
TBAs, Residential Investments, Commercial Investments, and ABS
Investments, including securities and mortgage loans owned through
investments in affiliates, exclusive of AG Arc LLC. Refer to
footnote (4) for more information on the GAAP accounting for certain
items included in our investment portfolio. See footnote (14) for
further details on AG Arc LLC.
|
(4) Generally, when we purchase a security and employ leverage, the
security is included in our assets and the leverage is reflected in
our liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as either
"Repurchase agreements" or "Securitized debt, at fair value."
Throughout this press release where we disclose our investment
portfolio and the related financing, we have presented this
information inclusive of (i) unconsolidated ownership interests in
affiliates that are accounted for under GAAP using the equity method
and (ii) long positions in TBAs, which are accounted for as
derivatives under GAAP. This press release excludes investments
through AG Arc LLC unless otherwise noted. This presentation of our
investment portfolio is consistent with how our management evaluates
the business, and we believe this presentation, when considered with
the GAAP presentation, provides supplemental information useful for
investors in evaluating our investment portfolio and financial
condition. See footnote (14) for further details on AG Arc LLC.
|
(5) Net interest margin is calculated by subtracting the weighted
average cost of funds from the weighted average yield for the
Company's investment portfolio, which excludes cash held by the
Company. See footnotes (9) and (10) for further detail. Net interest
margin also excludes any net TBA position.
|
(6) "At Risk" Leverage is calculated by dividing total financing
including any net TBA position by our GAAP stockholders' equity at
quarter-end. Total financing at quarter-end includes repurchase
agreements inclusive of repurchase agreements through affiliated
entities, exclusive of any financing utilized through AG Arc LLC,
plus the payable on all unsettled buys less the financing on all
unsettled sells, securitized debt and any net TBA position (at
cost). Total financing excludes any repurchase agreements and
unsettled trades on U.S. Treasuries.
|
(7) This represents the weighted average monthly CPRs published
during the quarter for our in-place portfolio during the same
period. Any net TBA position is excluded from the CPR calculation.
|
(8) The Company estimates duration based on third-party models.
Different models and methodologies can produce different effective
duration estimates for the same securities.
|
(9) The yield on our investment portfolio represents an effective
interest rate, which utilizes all estimates of future cash flows and
adjusts for actual prepayment and cash flow activity as of
quarter-end. This calculation excludes cash held by the Company and
excludes any net TBA position. The calculation of weighted average
yield is weighted based on fair value.
|
(10) The cost of funds at quarter-end is calculated as the sum of
(i) the weighted average funding costs on total financing
outstanding at quarter-end and (ii) the weighted average of the net
pay rate on our interest rate swaps, the net receive rate on our
Treasury long positions, the net pay rate on our Treasury short
positions, and the net receivable rate on our IO index derivatives,
if any. Both elements of the cost of funds at quarter-end are
weighted by the outstanding repurchase agreements and securitized
debt outstanding at quarter-end, excluding repurchase agreements
associated with U.S. Treasury positions. The cost of funds excludes
any net TBA position.
|
(11) The management fee percentage at quarter-end is calculated by
annualizing management fees recorded during the quarter and dividing
by quarter-end stockholders' equity.
|
(12) The other operating expenses percentage at quarter-end was
calculated by annualizing other operating expenses recorded during
the quarter and dividing by our quarter-end stockholders' equity.
|
(13) This estimate of undistributed taxable income per share
represents the total estimated undistributed taxable income as of
quarter-end. Undistributed taxable income is based on current
estimates and projections. As a result, the actual amount is not
finalized until we file our annual tax return, typically in October
of the following year.
|
(14) The Company invests in Arc Home LLC through AG Arc LLC, one of
its indirect subsidiaries.
|
(15) The Company allocates its equity by investment using the fair
market value of its investment portfolio, less any associated
leverage, inclusive of any long TBA position (at cost). The Company
allocates all non-investment portfolio related items based on their
respective characteristics in order to sum to the Company's
stockholders' equity per the consolidated balance sheets. The
Company's equity allocation method is a non-GAAP methodology and may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures or concepts of other
