Next Dividend Announcement Expected May 11, 2022
Vero
 
Beach, Fla., April 13, 2022 - Orchid Island
 
Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ORC) announced today that
 
the Board
of Directors
 
(the “Board”)
 
declared a
 
monthly cash
 
dividend for
 
the month
 
of April
 
2022. The
 
dividend of
 
$0.045 per
 
share
will be paid May
 
27, 2022 to holders
 
of record of the
 
Company’s common
 
stock on April 29,
 
2022, with an ex-dividend
 
date
of April 28, 2022. The Company plans on announcing its next common
 
stock dividend on May 11, 2022.
The Company intends to make
 
regular monthly cash distributions
 
to its holders of common stock.
 
In order to qualify as a
 
real
estate investment trust (“REIT”), the Company must distribute annually
 
to its stockholders an amount at least equal to 90% of
its REIT
 
taxable income,
 
determined without
 
regard to
 
the deduction
 
for dividends
 
paid and
 
excluding any
 
net capital
 
gain.
The Company
 
will be subject
 
to income
 
tax on taxable
 
income that is
 
not distributed
 
and to an
 
excise tax to
 
the extent that
 
a
certain percentage
 
of its
 
taxable income
 
is not
 
distributed by
 
specified dates.
 
The Company
 
has not
 
established a
 
minimum
distribution payment level and is not assured of its ability to make distributions
 
to stockholders in the future.
As of April
 
13, 2022 and
 
March 31, 2022,
 
the Company had
 
177,117,186 shares of common
 
stock outstanding. As of
 
December
31, 2021, the Company had 176,993,049 shares of common stock outstanding
 
.
Estimated March 31, 2022 Book Value
 
Per Share
The Company’s estimated book value per
 
share as of March
 
31, 2022 was $3.34.
 
The Company computes book
 
value per share
by dividing
 
total
 
stockholders' equity
 
by
 
the total
 
number
 
of outstanding
 
shares
 
of common
 
stock. At
 
March 31,
 
2022,
 
the
Company's
 
preliminary
 
estimated
 
total
 
stockholders'
 
equity
 
was
 
approximately
 
$592.4
 
million
 
with
 
177,117,186
 
shares
 
of
common stock outstanding. These figures and the
 
resulting estimated book value per share are preliminary,
 
subject to change,
and subject to review by the Company’s
 
independent registered public accounting firm.
 
Estimated Net Loss Per Share and Realized and Unrealized
 
Gains and Losses on RMBS and Derivative Instruments
The Company estimates it generated a
 
net loss per share
 
of $0.84, which includes $1.04 per
 
share of net realized and
 
unrealized
losses on RMBS and derivative instruments for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
 
These amounts compare to total dividends
declared during
 
the quarter
 
of $0.155 per
 
share.
 
Net loss
 
per common
 
share calculated
 
under generally
 
accepted accounting
principles can, and does,
 
differ from our REIT
 
taxable income.
 
The Company views REIT
 
taxable income as a
 
better indication
of income
 
to be
 
paid in
 
the form
 
of a
 
dividend rather
 
than net
 
loss. Many
 
components of
 
REIT taxable
 
income can
 
only be
estimated at
 
this time
 
and our
 
monthly dividends
 
declared are
 
based on
 
both estimates
 
of REIT
 
taxable income
 
to be
 
earned
over the course
 
of the current
 
quarter and calendar year
 
and a longer-term estimate
 
of the REIT
 
taxable income of the
 
Company.
These
 
figures
 
are
 
preliminary,
 
subject
 
to
 
change,
 
and
 
subject
 
to
 
review
 
by
 
the
 
Company’s
 
independent
 
registered
 
public
accounting firm.
 
Estimated Total
 
Return on Equity
The Company’s
 
estimated total return on
 
equity for the quarter
 
ended March 31, 2022
 
was (19.5)%. The Company
 
calculates
total
 
return
 
on
 
equity
 
as
 
the
 
sum
 
of dividends
 
declared
 
and
 
paid
 
during
 
the
 
quarter
 
plus changes
 
in
 
book
 
value
 
during
 
the
quarter, divided by the Company’s stockholders’ equity at
 
the beginning of the
 
quarter.
 
The total return was
 
$(0.845) per share,
comprised of dividends per share of $0.155 and a decrease in book value
 
per share of $1.00 from December 31, 2021.
RMBS Portfolio Characteristics
Details of the RMBS portfolio as of March 31, 2022 are presented below.
 
These figures are preliminary and subject to change
and, with
 
respect to figures
 
that will appear
 
in the Company’s
 
financial statements
 
and associated
 
footnotes as of
 
and for the
quarter ended March 31, 2022, are subject to review by the Company’s
 
independent registered public accounting firm.
