Management Commentary
 
Commenting on the third quarter results, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In a continuation of the
extremely turbulent and volatile market conditions that have existed since the onset
 
of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the third quarter
of 2022 the markets and the outlook for monetary policy changed materially.
 
The reaction on the part of the Federal Reserve (the
“Fed”) to inflation and economic data has shaped the rates markets, currency markets
 
and the outlook for the economy since the spring
of 2021.
 
This is when inflation first began to accelerate in the U.S.
 
During the third quarter their outlook the Fed’s outlook changed
significantly.
 
Through early August of 2022 the markets perceived that, while inflation was
 
not transitory, the Fed would be able to
dampen demand by raising rates and cause inflation to decrease back towards the
 
Fed’s long-term target of 2%.
 
Further, the market
anticipated this would happen by early in 2023 and that the Fed would then start to
 
loosen monetary policy shortly thereafter.
 
The Fed,
through repeated public comments by various Fed officials, stressed that this was not going
 
to be the case.
 
Incoming economic data
over the period was persistently strong, indicating the rate increases to date had
 
yet to slow demand.
 
More importantly, incoming
inflation data showed no evidence of slowing at all and was in fact becoming more widespread,
 
possibly even well entrenched.
 
This
reinforced the notion that the Fed will have to take rates higher and for longer.

October 27, 2022
“The result of these developments was significant and widespread.
 
Specific to Orchid Island were increases in market interest
rates and a widening in the spreads that Agency RMBS securities trade relative to
 
comparable duration U.S. Treasuries or swaps.
 
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury closed just above 3.83% on September 30, 2022, and surpassed 4%
 
in October of 2022.
 
Short-term rates increased even more as the curve became even more inverted.
 
Interest rates on maturities inside three months
increased by 160 basis points by the end of the quarter and by over 236 basis points
 
since the end of the second quarter through
October 26, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, market pricing implied the terminal rate
 
for the current cycle would be approximately
4.53% - anticipated to occur late in the first quarter of 2023.
 
As of October 26, 2022, the market is pricing in a terminal rate of
approximately 4.85%
 
sometime late in the second quarter of 2023 and with the Fed funds rate
 
still over 4.39%
 
in early 2024.
 
“Agency RMBS spreads relative to benchmark interest rates increased to
 
levels observed in March of 2020 by the end of the third
quarter of 2022 and have exceeded those levels in October.
 
Returns for the Agency RMBS market for the third quarter of 2022 were
(5.4)% and these returns were 1.7% lower than comparable duration LIBOR swaps.
 
The relative performance across the Agency
RMBS universe is skewed in favor of higher coupon, 30-year securities that are
 
currently in production by originators.
 
Lower coupon
securities, especially those held in large amounts by the Fed, and which may eventually
 
be sold by the Fed, have performed the worst.
 
These results are consistent with the relative duration of the securities, as
 
higher coupons have shorter durations, or less sensitivity to
movements in interest rates. Actions by the Fed as described above may
 
prevent the sector from performing well in the near term but,
if the economy does contract and enter a recession, the sector could do well
 
on a relative performance basis owing to the lack of credit
exposure of Agency RMBS.
 
This is consistent with the sector’s history of performance
 
in a counter-cyclical manner – doing well when
the economy is soft and relatively poorly when the economy is strong.”
Details of Third Quarter 2022 Results of Operations
 
The Company reported net loss of $84.5 million for the three month period
 
ended September 30, 2022, compared with net income
of $26.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2021. The Company
 
decreased its Agency RMBS portfolio over the
course of the first nine months of 2022, from $6.5 billion at December 31, 2021
 
to $3.2 billion at September 30, 2022.
 
Interest income
on the portfolio in the third quarter was up approximately $0.3 million from the
 
second quarter of 2022. The yield on our average MBS
increased from 3.31%
 
in the second quarter of 2022 to 3.99% for the third quarter of 2022, repurchase agreement
 
borrowing costs
increased from 0.80%
 
for the second quarter of 2022 to 2.48%
 
for the third quarter of 2022,
 
and our net interest spread decreased from
2.51% in the second quarter of 2022 to 1.51% in the third quarter
 
of 2022.
 
Book value decreased by $2.94 per share in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease
 
in book value reflects our net loss of $2.40
per share and the dividend distribution of $0.545 per share. The Company
 
recorded net realized and unrealized losses of $2.66 per
share on Agency RMBS assets and derivative instruments, including net interest income
 
on interest rate swaps.
The Company estimates book value per share as of October 26, 2022 to be approximately
 
$10.60 to $10.70 per share. The
estimated book value per share includes a deduction for the Company’s September 2022
 
dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock
that will be paid on October 27, 2022, which was declared on September 12, 2022
 
with a September 30, 2022 record date. The
estimated book value per share range is unaudited and has not been verified or reviewed
 
by any third party. The Company undertakes
no obligation to update or revise its estimated book value per share.

Effective duration of 5.800 indicates that an interest rate increase of
 
1.0% would be expected to cause a 5.800% decrease in the value of the
RMBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2022.
 
An effective duration of 3.390 indicates that an interest rate increase
 
of
1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.390% decrease in the value of the
 
RMBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31,
 
2021.
These figures include the structured securities in the portfolio, but do not
 
include the effect of the Company’s funding cost hedges.
 
Effective
duration quotes for individual investments are obtained from The Yield
 
Book, Inc.
Financing, Leverage and Liquidity
As of September
 
30, 2022,
 
the Company
 
had outstanding
 
repurchase
 
obligations
 
of approximately
 
$3,133.9
 
million with
 
a net
weighted
 
average borrowing
 
rate of 3.00%.
 
These agreements
 
were collateralized
 
by RMBS
 
with a fair
 
value, including
 
accrued
 
interest,
of approximately
 
$3,206.4 million
 
and cash pledged
 
to counterparties
 
of approximately
 
$49.4 million.
 
The Company’s
 
leverage
 
ratio at
September
 
30, 2022
 
was 8.5 to
 
1. At September
 
30, 2022,
 
the Company’s
 
liquidity
 
was approximately
 
$219.6 million,
 
consisting
 
of
cash
and cash equivalents
 
and unpledged
 
RMBS (not
 
including
 
unsettled
 
securities
 
purchases).
 
To enhance our liquidity
 
even further,
 
we may
pledge more
 
of our structured
 
RMBS as
 
part of a
 
repurchase
 
agreement
 
funding,
 
but retain
 
the cash in
 
lieu of acquiring
 
additional
assets.
 
In this way
 
we can, at
 
a modest
 
cost, retain
 
higher levels
 
of cash on
 
hand and
 
decrease
 
the likelihood
 
we will have
 
to sell assets
 
in
a distressed
 
market in
 
order to
 
raise cash.

The Company allocates capital to two RMBS sub-portfolios, the pass-through
 
RMBS portfolio, consisting of mortgage pass-through
certificates issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae (the “GSEs”)
 
and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued
by the GSEs (“PT RMBS”), and the structured RMBS portfolio, consisting of
 
interest-only (“IO”) and inverse interest-only (“IIO”)
securities.
 
As of June 30, 2022, approximately 62% of the Company’s investable capital
 
(which consists of equity in pledged PT
RMBS, available cash and unencumbered assets) was deployed in the PT RMBS
 
portfolio.
 
At September 30, 2022, the allocation to
the PT RMBS portfolio increased to approximately 85%.
The tables below present the allocation of capital between the respective
 
portfolios at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and
the return on invested capital for each sub-portfolio for the three month period
 
ended September 30, 2022.

At September 30, 2022, there were outstanding repurchase agreement balances
 
of $41.0 million secured by IO securities and $0.5 million
secured by IIO securities.
 
We entered into these arrangements to generate additional cash
 
available to meet margin calls on PT RMBS;
therefore, we have not considered these balances to be allocated to the structured
 
securities strategy
.

At June 30, 2022, there were outstanding repurchase agreement balances of
 
$144.9 million secured by IO securities
and $0.8 million secured
by IIO securities.
 
We entered into these arrangements to generate additional
 
cash available to meet margin calls on PT RMBS; therefore, we
have not considered these balances to be allocated to the structured securities strategy.
The return on invested capital in the PT RMBS and structured RMBS portfolios
 
was approximately (26.5)% and (1.4)%,
respectively, for the third quarter of 2022.
 
The combined portfolio generated a return on invested capital of approximately

Stock Offerings
On October 29, 2021, we entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “October
 
2021 Equity Distribution Agreement”) with
four sales agents pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, up to an
 
aggregate amount of $250,000,000 of shares of
our common stock in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings and privately negotiated
 
transactions. Through
September 30, 2022,
 
we issued a total of 3,167,140 shares under the October 2021 Equity
 
Distribution Agreement for aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $78.3 million, and net proceeds of approximately
 
$77.0 million, after commissions and fees. We did not
issue any shares under the October 2021 Equity Distribution Agreement during
 
the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Stock Repurchase Program
On July 29, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 400,000
 
shares of our common stock. The
timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases is determined by the Company in its discretion and is
 
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 program may
 
be suspended or discontinued at the Company’s discretion
without prior notice. On February 8, 2018, the Board of Directors approved
 
an increase in the stock repurchase program for up to an
additional 904,564 shares of the Company’s common stock. Coupled with the 156,751
 
shares remaining from the original 400,000
share authorization, the increased authorization brought the total authorization
 
to 1,061,316 shares, representing 10% of the
Company’s then outstanding share count. On December 9, 2021, the Board of Directors
 
approved an increase in the number of shares
of the Company’s common stock available in the stock repurchase program for up
 
to an additional 3,372,399 shares, bringing the
remaining authorization under the stock repurchase program to 3,539,861 shares, representing
 
approximately 10% of the Company’s
then outstanding shares of common stock. On October 12, 2022, the
 
Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares
of the Company’s common stock available in the stock repurchase program for up
 
to an additional 4,300,000 shares, bringing the
remaining authorization under the stock repurchase program to 6,183,601 shares, representing
 
approximately 18% of the Company’s
then outstanding shares of common stock. This stock repurchase program has no
 
termination date.
