Second Quarter 2021 Results

NEW YORK, NY - August 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: NYMT) (“NYMT,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) today reported results for the second quarter of 2021.

Summary of Second Quarter 2021:

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)



Net income attributable to Company's common stockholders	$	42,944
Net income attributable to Company's common stockholders per share (basic)	$	0.11
Comprehensive income attributable to Company's common stockholders	$	46,519
Comprehensive income attributable to Company's common stockholders per share (basic)	$	0.12
Net interest income	$	31,475
Portfolio net interest margin	2.97		%
Book value per common share at the end of the period	$	4.74
Economic return on book value for the quarter (1)	2.8		%
Dividends per common share	$	0.10

(1)Economic return on book value is based on the periodic change in GAAP book value per common share plus dividends declared per common share, if any, during the period.

•Purchased approximately $257.8 million in residential loans and $19.0 million in non-Agency RMBS.

•Received approximately $28.1 million in proceeds from redemptions of multi-family preferred equity and mezzanine loan investments and approximately $63.3 million in proceeds from redemption of an equity investment in an entity that invested in residential loans.

•Completed a securitization of business purpose loans resulting in approximately $178.4 million of net proceeds to the Company, of which $117.1 million was used to repay an outstanding repurchase agreement.

•Completed a private placement of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due April 2026 at par.

Subsequent Developments:

•Issued 5,750,000 shares of 6.875% Series F Fixed-to-Floating-Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $138.6 million after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company used the net proceeds to fund the redemption of all outstanding shares of its 7.875% Series C Preferred Stock at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $104.9 million, which included accumulated and unpaid dividends up to, but not including, the redemption date of July 30, 2021.

•On July 29, 2021, the Company directed the trustee of one of the Company's residential loan securitizations, with an outstanding balance of $208.6 million as of June 30, 2021, to exercise its right to redeem the securitization. The scheduled redemption date is August 12, 2021.

•Sold CMBS for proceeds of approximately $89.5 million in July 2021.

Steven Mumma, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The Company delivered solid results in the second quarter, with GAAP earnings per share of $0.11, comprehensive earnings per share of $0.12 and an increase in book value per common share to $4.74, generating a total economic return for the quarter of 2.8%. Moreover, the Company’s portfolio net margin for the quarter was 55 bps higher than the previous quarter, benefiting from improvements in average asset yields and decreased average funding costs for our liabilities. The Company took advantage of the lower interest rate environment, accessing the market with two capital markets transactions. In April, the Company completed a private placement of $100 million of rated senior unsecured notes with a 5-year term at an interest rate of 5.75% per annum. In July, the Company completed an offering of its Series F preferred stock for net proceeds of approximately $139 million with a coupon of 6.875%. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Series F preferred stock offering to redeem its 7.875% Series C preferred stock, thereby lowering the coupon on the capital represented by the redeemed shares by 100 bps. While the Company indeed benefited from the lower interest rate environment, we also believe our execution of these two transactions at improved pricing levels is a testament to the strength of our current balance sheet."

Jason Serrano, President, commented: "As expected, loan securitization financing costs improved throughout the quarter, as demand for new paper far outweighs net supply. In the quarter, we issued our first BPL securitization with $167 million of loans and deposited $33 million of cash in a revolver to fund future pipelines. The transaction lowered our interest cost by 58 bps for such loans. We view term financing through securitizations to be highly attractive and intend to take advantage of this opportunity against $700+ million market value of unencumbered residential loans held on balance sheet at quarter end. We are also excited about the opportunity to optimize our financing by calling certain of our previously issued deals. With both a building loan pipeline and attractive securitization financing options, we are optimistic about the prospects for future earnings growth."

The following tables set forth, by investment category, our allocated capital at June 30, 2021, our interest income and interest expense, and the average yield, average portfolio financing cost, and portfolio net interest margin for our average interest earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2021 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Forward Looking Statements

3 To Our Stockholders Management Update "The Company delivered solid results in the second quarter, with GAAP earnings per share of $0.11, comprehensive earnings per share of $0.12 and an increase in book value per common share to $4.74, generating a total economic return for the quarter of 2.8%. Moreover, the Company’s portfolio net margin for the quarter was 55 bps higher than the previous quarter, benefiting from improvements in average asset yields and decreased average funding costs for our liabilities. The Company took advantage of the lower interest rate environment, accessing the market with two capital markets transactions. In April, the Company completed a private placement of $100 million of rated senior unsecured notes with a 5-year term at an interest rate of 5.75% per annum. In July, the Company completed an offering of its Series F preferred stock for net proceeds of approximately $139 million with a coupon of 6.875%. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Series F preferred stock offering to redeem its 7.875% Series C preferred stock, thereby lowering the coupon on the capital represented by the redeemed shares by 100 bps. While the Company indeed benefited from the lower interest rate environment, we also believe our execution of these two transactions at improved pricing levels is a testament to the strength of our current balance sheet." – Steven Mumma, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer "As expected, loan securitization financing costs improved throughout the quarter, as demand for new paper far outweighs net supply. In the quarter, we issued our first BPL securitization with $167 million of loans and deposited $33 million of cash in a revolver to fund future pipelines. The transaction lowered our interest cost by 58 bps for such loans. We view term financing through securitizations to be highly attractive and intend to take advantage of this opportunity against $700+ million market value of unencumbered residential loans held on balance sheet at quarter end. We are also excited about the opportunity to optimize our financing by calling certain of our previously issued deals. With both a building loan pipeline and attractive securitization financing options, we are optimistic about the prospects for future earnings growth." – Jason Serrano, President

14See Glossary and End Notes in the Appendix. Pipeline Strategy For Sustainable Earnings Growth NYMT Investment Strategy Focus NYMT focuses on portfolio opportunities in markets where the Company sees a competitive advantage due to operational barriers to entry. Safety NYMT finds certain loan sectors attractive due to new financing arrangements that can be structured with non- mark-to-market features or term financing available through the securitization market. In other cases, financing is unnecessary due to the high projected return on the investment. Execution NYMT continues to close attractive investment opportunities within the Multi-Family and Single- Family sectors, including flow and bulk purchases for a targeted mid-teens return after financing.
