Vero
 
Beach, Fla.,
 
October 12,
 
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 October 2022. The dividend
 
of $0.16 per
share will be paid November 28, 2022 to holders of record of the Company’s
 
common stock on October 31, 2022, with an ex-
dividend date of October 28, 2022. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on November 9, 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
 
October 12,
 
2022, the
 
Company had
 
33,760,251 shares
 
of common
 
stock outstanding.
 
As of
 
September 30,
 
2022, the
Company had 35,066,251
 
shares of common
 
stock outstanding.
 
As of June 30,
 
2022, the Company
 
had 35,250,239 shares
 
of
common stock outstanding,
 
adjusted for the
 
Company’s one-for-five reverse stock split
 
effective August 30, 2022
 
(the “Reverse
Stock Split”).
Stock Repurchase Program
Today,
 
the Board
 
approved an
 
increase in
 
the number
 
of shares
 
of the
 
Company’s
 
common stock
 
available in
 
its previously
announced
 
stock
 
repurchase
 
program
 
(the
 
“Repurchase
 
Program”)
 
for
 
up
 
to
 
an
 
additional
 
4.3
 
million
 
shares,
 
bringing
 
the
remaining authorization under
 
the Repurchase Program
 
to approximately 5.0 million
 
shares, representing approximately 15%
of the Company’s currently outstanding
 
shares of common stock.
 
As part of the Repurchase Program, shares may be purchased in open market
 
transactions, block purchases, through privately
negotiated transactions, or
 
pursuant to any trading plan
 
that may be adopted
 
in accordance with Rule 10b5
 
-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934,
 
as amended (the “Exchange
 
Act”). Open market repurchases
 
will be made
 
in accordance with Exchange
Act Rule
 
10b-18, which
 
sets certain
 
restrictions on
 
the method,
 
timing, price
 
and volume
 
of open
 
market stock
 
repurchases.
The timing,
 
manner,
 
price and
 
amount of
 
any repurchases
 
will be
 
determined by
 
the Company
 
in its
 
discretion
 
and will
 
be
subject to economic and market
 
conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and
 
other factors. The authorization does
not obligate the Company
 
to acquire any particular amount
 
of common stock and
 
the Repurchase Program may
 
be suspended
or discontinued at the Company’s discretion
 
without prior notice. The Repurchase Program has no termination date.
Estimated September 30, 2022 Book Value
 
Per Share
The Company’s
 
estimated book
 
value per
 
share as of
 
September 30,
 
2022 was
 
$11.42.
 
The Company
 
computes book
 
value
per share by dividing total stockholders'
 
equity by the total number of outstanding
 
shares of common stock. At September
 
30,
2022, the Company's
 
preliminary estimated total
 
stockholders' equity was
 
approximately $400.4 million with
 
35,066,251 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 $2.41, which includes $2.66 per
 
share of net realized and
 
unrealized
losses
 
on
 
RMBS
 
and
 
derivative
 
instruments
 
for
 
the
 
quarter
 
ended
 
September
 
30,
 
2022.
 
These
 
amounts
 
compare
 
to
 
total
dividends declared
 
during the
 
quarter of
 
$0.545 per
 
share, adjusted
 
for the
 
Reverse Stock
 
Split, as
 
applicable.
 
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
 
September
 
30,
 
2022
 
was
 
(16.7)%.
 
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 $(2.395)
 
per
share, comprised of dividends per share of $0.545 and a decrease in book
 
value per share of $2.94 from June 30, 2022.
RMBS Portfolio Characteristics
Details of
 
the RMBS
 
portfolio
 
as of
 
September 30,
 
2022 are

These figures

and subject
 
to
change and, with
 
respect to figures

associated footnotes as
 
of and
for the quarter
 
ended September
 
30, 2022,
