Key Developments:

Fourth Quarter 2020

	•	Completed a securitization of residential loans, resulting in approximately $299.3 million of net proceeds to us. A portion of the net proceeds were utilized to repay approximately $236.0 million on outstanding repurchase agreements related to residential loans.

	•	Acquired residential loans and Agency RMBS totaling $458.8 million.

	•	Acquired multi-family preferred equity investments totaling approximately $30.7 million.

Full Year 2020

•	During the first half of the first quarter of 2020, we issued 85.1 million shares of common stock collectively through two underwritten public offerings, resulting in total net proceeds of $511.9 million.

•	Additionally, in the first quarter of 2020, we acquired single-family and multi-family residential credit assets totaling $531.2 million and Agency RMBS totaling $100.9 million.

•	In the latter portion of the first quarter of 2020, we experienced unprecedented market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, we took the following actions to manage our portfolio through the disruption and improved liquidity:

		•	Sold all of our first loss POs and certain mezzanine CMBS securities issued by the Consolidated K-Series for total sales proceeds of $555.2 million, recognized a net realized loss of $54.1 million and reversed previously recognized net unrealized gains of $168.5 million. As a result of the sales, we de-consolidated $17.4 billion in multi-family loans held in the Consolidated K-Series and $16.6 billion in collateralized debt obligations issued by the Consolidated K-Series.

		•	Sold $1.4 billion of investment securities, including $993.0 million of Agency RMBS, $145.4 million of Agency CMBS, $130.9 million of non-Agency RMBS and $114.0 million of CMBS and recognized a net realized loss of $58.7 million.

		•	Sold residential loans for approximately $50.0 million in proceeds, recognized a realized loss of $16.2 million and reversed previously recognized unrealized gains of $4.5 million.

		•	Terminated interest rate swaps resulting in a net realized loss of $73.1 million, which was partially offset by the reversal of previously recognized unrealized losses of $29.0 million for a total net loss of $44.1 million.

		•	Reduced outstanding repurchase agreements for investment securities by $1.6 billion from previous year-end levels.

		•	Temporarily suspended payment of quarterly dividends on both our common and preferred stock.

•	Throughout the remainder of the year, we entered into new financing transactions, repaid or restructured repurchase agreement financings, invested in our core investment products, opportunistically sold assets and reinstated our quarterly dividend payments on both our common and preferred stock, including as follows:

		•	Completed a non-mark-to-market re-securitization backed by non-Agency RMBS generating net proceeds of approximately $109.0 million.

		•	Completed two securitizations of residential loans, resulting in approximately $540.4 million in net proceeds to us. Portions of the net proceeds were utilized to repay approximately $466.6 million on outstanding repurchase agreements related to residential loans.

		•	Repaid all outstanding repurchase agreements that financed investment securities.

		•	Obtained non-mark-to-market financing for residential loans through repurchase agreements with new and existing counterparties.

		•	Purchased $415.7 million in residential loans and $138.5 million in Agency RMBS and funded $50.0 million in multi-family preferred equity investments.

		•	Sold non-Agency RMBS for approximately $302.1 million in proceeds, CMBS for approximately $134.7 million in proceeds and residential loans for approximately $46.9 million in proceeds.

		•	Reinstated the payment of quarterly dividends on both our common and preferred stock and declared and paid preferred stock dividends in arrears for the first quarter of 2020.

Management Overview

Steven Mumma, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The Company had a solid fourth quarter, delivering $0.19 GAAP earnings per share and $0.22 in comprehensive earnings per share. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s book value per share was $4.71, up 3% from the prior quarter, resulting in an economic return of 5% for the quarter. During the fourth quarter, the Company was able to build on the positive momentum from the prior two quarters, executing longer term financing through a residential securitization and expanding its investment pipeline to its highest level since March.

This past year was a difficult and challenging time for the Company, as well as many other mortgage REITs. Over a three-week span in March, we experienced unprecedented liquidity constraints on many of our credit asset classes as a direct result of the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These constraints across markets created a valuation gap that further drove down values, in many cases, disconnected from the fundamentals of the underlying assets, and generated historic levels of margin calls from our financing counterparties. Through the coordinated effort of our investment professionals, we were able to reposition the portfolio and stabilize the balance sheet, but not before incurring sizeable losses. We saw significant improvements for our assets during the balance of the year, which allowed the Company to trim the total economic return to (14.6)% for the year. While the total economic return for 2020 on an absolute-basis is disappointing, I am proud of our team and the way they performed throughout the year.”

Jason Serrano, President, commented: “With a multi-decade low of housing inventory for sale coupled with population shifts to the southern and southeast U.S., housing credit risk currently benefits from these favorable trends that we believe should provide sustainable earnings growth for housing and housing-related assets. We are excited about the flexibility afforded by our low levered balance sheet, as we believe this positions us to take advantage of these dynamics, especially in an exceptionally low cost term financing environment. Indeed, under a unique, two-tiered approach within single- and multi-family sectors, our proprietary pipelines grew significantly in the fourth quarter and have continued in the new year. NYMT has emerged from an unprecedented year with renewed positions of strength and confidence that we believe are capable of delivering solid results for stockholders in 2021.”
