NET BOOK VALUE
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's net book value per common share was
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's investment portfolio totaled
Since commencing QE3, the Federal Reserve's purchases of agency MBS have had the effect of lowering net interest rate spreads on lower coupon agency MBS. However, the Federal Reserve's involvement in the mortgage market has also made it more attractive to purchase agency MBS on a forward-settlement basis through the TBA dollar roll market.
TBA dollar roll transactions are a form of off-balance sheet financing of agency MBS. The price differential between agency MBS purchased for a forward settlement date through a TBA dollar roll transaction and the price of agency MBS for settlement in the current month is referred to as the "price drop". The price drop is the economic equivalent of the net interest carry (interest income less implied financing cost), also referred to as "dollar roll income," on the agency MBS earned during the roll period. Given the attractive terms available in the dollar roll market throughout the fourth quarter, the Company maintained an average net forward TBA position of
The Company accounts for its TBA dollar roll positions as derivative instruments and recognizes dollar roll income in other income (loss), net on the Company's financial statements. As of
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's agency securities were comprised of
As of December 31, 2012, 77% of the Company's fixed-rate securities, or 67% inclusive of net TBA mortgage positions, were comprised of securities backed by lower loan balance mortgages and loans originated under the
CONSTANT PREPAYMENT RATES
The actual CPR for the Company's investment portfolio during the fourth quarter was 10%, an increase from 9% for the third quarter. The most recent CPR published in
The Company amortizes or accretes premiums and discounts associated with purchases of agency securities into interest income using the effective yield method over the estimated life of such securities, incorporating both actual repayments to date and projected CPRs over the remaining life of the security. The weighted average cost basis of the Company's investment portfolio was 105.6% of par value as of December 31, 2012; therefore, faster actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful negative impact, while slower actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful positive impact, on the Company's asset yields.
The amortization of premiums, net of any accretion of discounts, on the investment portfolio for the fourth quarter was
ASSET YIELDS, COST OF FUNDS AND NET INTEREST RATE SPREAD
The Company's average asset yield on its agency security portfolio for the fourth quarter increased 27 bps to 2.82%, from 2.55% for the third quarter. Excluding the impact of "catch-up" premium amortization benefit/cost recognized during the current and prior quarter due to changes in projected CPR estimates, the annualized weighted average yield on the Company's agency security portfolio was 2.63% for the current quarter, compared to 2.66% for the prior quarter. The Company's average asset yield reported as of December 31, 2012 was 2.61%, unchanged from September 30, 2012.
The Company's average cost of funds (derived from the cost of repurchase agreements ("repos"), other debt and interest rate swaps) increased 6 bps to 1.19% for the fourth quarter, from 1.13% for the third quarter. The Company's average cost of funds as of December 31, 2012, increased 11 bps to 1.22% from 1.11% as of September 30, 2012. The increase in the Company's average cost of funds was due to an increase of 5 bps in repo costs from 0.46% as of September 30, 2012 to 0.51% as of December 31, 2012, due to higher year-end repo rates and higher average swap costs. The ratio of interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements and other debt outstanding was 62% as of December 31, 2012, largely unchanged from 61% as of September 30, 2012.
The Company's average net interest rate spread for the fourth quarter was 1.63%, an increase of 21 bps from the third quarter of 1.42%. Excluding the impact of "catch-up" premium amortization benefit/cost during the current and prior quarter due to changes in projected CPR estimates, the Company's average net interest rate spread was 1.44% for the current quarter, or 1.65% inclusive of estimated TBA dollar roll income, compared to 1.53% for the third quarter. As of December 31, 2012, the Company's average net interest rate spread was 1.39%, or 1.61% inclusive of net TBA dollar roll positions compared to 1.50% as of September 30, 2012.

*Except as noted below, average numbers for each period are weighted based on days on the Company's books and records. All percentages are annualized.
- The Company voluntarily discontinued hedge accounting under GAAP for interest rate swaps as of
September 30 , 2011. Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("OCI") on the Company's de-designated interest rate swaps as ofSeptember 30, 2011 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining swap terms into interest expense. All other periodic interest costs,termination fees and mark-to-market adjustments associated with interest rate swaps are reported in other income (loss), net pursuant to GAAP. - Table includes non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" for additional discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.
- Other interest rate swap periodic costs represent periodic interest costs on the Company's interest rate swap portfolio in excess of amounts reclassified from accumulated OCI into interest expense. Other interest rate swap periodic costs does not include termination fees or mark-to-market adjustments associated with interest rate swaps.
- Estimated cumulative undistributed REIT taxable income as of period end is net of common and preferred dividends declared during the period, without adjustment for future quarterly dividends not yet declared on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. Amount divided by total common shares outstanding as of each period end.
- Agency securities par value excludes the underlying unamortized principal balance ("UPB") of the Company's interest-only securities.
- Average stockholders' equity calculated as the average month-ended stockholders' equity during the quarter.
- Net book value per common share calculated as total stockholders' equity, less the Company's Series A Preferred Stock liquidation preference of
$25 per preferred share, divided by the number of common shares outstanding as of period end. - Leverage during the period was calculated by dividing the daily weighted average repurchase agreements and other debt outstanding, less repurchase agreements for treasury securities, for the period by the average stockholders' equity for the period.
- Leverage at period end was calculated by dividing the sum of the amount outstanding under repurchase agreements, net receivable / payable for unsettled agency securities and other debt by total stockholders' equity at period end.
- Weighted average coupon for the period was calculated by dividing the total coupon (or cash) interest income on agency securities by average agency securities held at par.
- Weighted average asset yield for the period was calculated by dividing the total interest income on agency securities (coupon interest less amortization of premiums and discounts) by the average amortized cost of agency securities held.
- Cost of funds includes repurchase agreements, other debt and interest rate swaps (including de-designated swaps and swaps never designated as hedges under GAAP), but excludes swap termination fees and costs associated with other supplemental hedges such as swaptions and short treasury or TBA positions. Weighted average cost of funds for the period was calculated by dividing the total cost of funds by the average repurchase agreements and other debt outstanding, less repurchase agreements for treasury securities, for the period.
- Net interest rate spread for the period was calculated by subtracting the average cost of funds from the average asset yield.
- Cost of funds as of period end includes repurchase agreements and other debt outstanding, plus the impact of interest rate swaps in effect as of each period end and forward starting swaps becoming effective, net of swaps expiring, within three months of each period end, but excludes costs associated with other supplemental hedges such as swaptions and short treasury or TBA positions.
- Net comprehensive income return on average common equity for the period was calculated by dividing comprehensive income available to common shareholders by average common equity.
- Economic return on common equity represents the sum of the change in net asset value per common share and dividends declared on common stock during the period over the beginning net asset value per common share.

ABOUT
ABOUT
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates, changes in the yield curve, changes in prepayment rates, the availability and terms of financing, changes in the market value of the Company's assets, general economic conditions, market conditions, conditions in the market for agency securities, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial information, including net spread income, estimated taxable income and certain financial metrics derived from non-GAAP information, such as estimated undistributed taxable income, which the Company's management uses in its internal analysis of results, and believes may be informative to investors.
Net spread income consists of adjusted net interest income, less total operating expenses. Adjusted net interest income is interest income less interest expense (or "GAAP net interest income"), less other periodic interest rate swap interest costs reported in other income (loss), net.
Estimated taxable income is pre-tax income calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code rather than GAAP. Estimated taxable income differs from GAAP income because of both temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition. Examples include (i) unrealized gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps and other derivatives and securities marked-to-market in current income for GAAP purposes, but excluded from estimated taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) temporary differences related to the amortization of premiums paid on investments and (iii) timing differences in the recognition of certain realized gains and losses. Furthermore, estimated taxable income can include certain information that is subject to potential adjustments up to the time of filing of the appropriate tax returns, which occurs after the end of the calendar year of the Company.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors because net spread income is a financial metric used by management and investors and estimated taxable income is directly related to the amount of dividends the Company is required to distribute in order to maintain its REIT tax qualification status. The Company also believes that providing investors with net spread income, estimated taxable income and certain financial metrics derived based on such estimated taxable income, in addition to the related GAAP measures, gives investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. However, because net spread income and estimated taxable income are an incomplete measure of the Company's financial performance and involve differences from net income computed in accordance with GAAP, net spread income and estimated taxable income should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of net spread income and estimated taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
