Reflects the impact of consolidating the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2017-D ("2017-D") and Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2018-C ("2018-C"), which are 50% and 37%, respectively, owned by third-party institutional investors. |
(2) |
Loan interest income excludes interest income from debt securities and beneficial interests and bank account balances. |
(3) |
Loan interest income for the quarters ended December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is net of impairments of $0.6 million, $3 thousand, $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, on our loan pools. |
(4) |
Interest income on investment in debt securities and beneficial interests issued by our joint ventures is net of servicing fees. |
(5) |
Total revenue includes net interest income, income from equity method investments and other income. |
(6) |
Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 includes approximately $5.2 million net gain from an RPL sale, after adjusting for foregone interest income, reduced interest expense and other loan related expenses. |
(7) |
Average daily cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents, and excludes cash held in trust. |
(8) |
The average carrying value of RPLs and the average carrying value of SBCs has been recast for all prior periods to reflect all SBCs in the average carrying value of SBCs. Previously, certain SBCs acquired in accretable loan pools were included in RPLs. |
(9) |
All quarters have been updated to reflect average asset level debt balance from total average debt balance. |
Our consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders decreased $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019 primarily as a result of $0.6 million of impairments on our loan portfolio and lower income from equity method investments offset by lower operating expenses.
Net interest income decreased $0.2 million over the prior quarter primarily driven by a $0.6 million decrease in gross interest income, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $0.4 million. Loan interest income decreased $1.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 due primarily to a reduction in the average balance of our investments in mortgage loans as we increase our investments in our Joint Ventures, as interest income from our Joint Ventures is net of servicing fees. Additionally, we held a high daily cash balance of $66.1 million, and the weighted average yield on our loan portfolio declined as a result of extended durations for our loan portfolio as more borrowers transition from delinquent to current. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 76% of our loan portfolio have made at least the last 12 out of 12 payments, as compared to approximately 13% at the time of purchase.
Interest income from our investments in debt securities and beneficial interests increased by $0.9 million, driven by the increased average balance in our Joint Ventures and, by the recognition of a full quarter’s interest income on our 2019-E joint venture securities, which was created in the third quarter. Our investments in debt securities and beneficial interests which were made in the fourth quarter were on our consolidated balance sheet for a weighted average of 16 days during the quarter and therefore provided minimal benefit to the fourth quarter's earnings.
Our overall cost of funds decreased approximately 18 basis points during the fourth quarter due to our issuance of AAA-rated bonds from our third rated securitization, Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2019-F, ("2019-F"), as well as from lower interest rates on our repurchase lines of credit. We expect this trend to continue as we experience decreases in par coupons on new securitized bond issuance, lower repurchase facility costs on loans and Joint Venture interests and decreases in LIBOR and swap spreads.
Our operating expenses for the fourth quarter decreased from the third quarter primarily due to the incentive fee we paid to our Manager, Thetis Asset Management LLC, in the third quarter. We paid no incentive fee to our Manager in the fourth quarter. During the quarter we recorded a $0.2 million charge for the acceleration of deferred issuance costs as a result of the call of our senior bonds from our Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2017-A securitization.
We recorded $0.4 million in impairments on our REO held-for-sale portfolio in real estate operating expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $0.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. We continue to liquidate our REO properties held-for-sale at a faster rate than we acquire properties, with 25 properties sold in the fourth quarter while nine were added to REO held-for-sale. This had the effect of materially reducing our taxable income during the fourth quarter, as foreclosures generally increase taxable income and REO sales generally reduce taxable income.
In November 2019 we completed a private capital raise transaction for our previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Gaea Real Estate Corp., through which Gaea raised $66.3 million in exchange for the issuance of 4.4 million shares of its common stock to third parties. The proceeds of the offering are expected to be used to acquire additional multi-family, mixed use and triple net lease properties. The transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of Gaea from our consolidated financial statements. We retained a 23.2% ownership interest in Gaea which we will account for using the equity method. As a result, for 39 days of the quarter we received only 23.2% of the income from Gaea as opposed to 100% in previous quarters. Our investment in Gaea is included on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 in Investment in affiliates.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2019 we co-invested with third-party institutional investors to form $309.1 million of joint ventures, and retained $60.3 million of varying classes of related securities, to end the quarter with $289.6 million of investments in securities and beneficial interests. The investments in debt securities and beneficial interests made during the fourth quarter were on our balance sheet for a weighted average of only 16 days of the quarter and therefore provided minimal benefit to our earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. We acquired 20.0% of each class of the securities of Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2019-G ("2019-G"), which acquired 870 RPLs and NPLs with UPB of $188.6 million and an aggregate property value of $305.6 million. We also acquired 20.0% of each class of the securities of Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2019-H ("2019-H"), which acquired 600 RPLs and NPLs with UPB of $120.5 million and an aggregate property value of $223.3 million. Based on the structure of the transactions we do not consolidate 2019-G or 2019-H under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Interest income from our investments in debt securities and beneficial interests issued by our non-consolidated joint ventures is recognized by us net of servicing fees, which are incurred, instead, by each joint venture. This is different than our investments in mortgage loans where interest income is recognized on a gross basis with the offsetting servicing fee recorded as expense in a separate income statement line.
We acquired $6.2 million of RPLs and $5.7 million of NPLs with an aggregate UPB of $6.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and underlying collateral values of $10.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively, during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. We also originated one SBC loan with UPB of $0.6 million that represented 88.6% of the underlying collateral value of $0.7 million. These loans were acquired and included on our consolidated balance sheet for a weighted average of 30 days of the quarter. We ended the quarter with $1.2 billion of mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $1.3 billion.
During the quarter we completed our third rated securitization, 2019-F, which closed on November 25, 2019 with an aggregate of $110.1 million of AAA-rated senior securities and $60.7 million of subordinated securities issued with respect to $170.8 million of mortgage loans. The AAA-rated senior securities have a fixed coupon of 2.86%. We also sold the AA- and A-rated securities of 2019-F, representing 10.3% of UPB, to third-party institutional investors. We own 100% of the equity in 2019-F and consolidate it under U.S. GAAP.
We collected $59.4 million of cash during the quarter as a result of loan payments, loan payoffs, sales of REO and cash collections on our securities portfolio to end the fourth quarter with $64.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our average cash balance during the quarter as $66.1 million.

Subsequent Events
Since quarter end, we have acquired 27 residential RPLs with aggregate UPB of $2.2 million in two transactions from two sellers for our own account. The RPLs were acquired at 63.8% of UPB and 37.7% of the estimated market value of the underlying collateral of $3.7 million.
Also expected to close in the first quarter of 2020 are acquisitions that went under contract in February and March, 2020 of 1,943 RPLs for an aggregate purchase price of $309.3 million, 334 NPLs, for an aggregate purchase price of $81.5 million, and the acquisition of two SBCs for a purchase price of $3.2 million. The purchase price of the RPLs equals 91.5% of UPB and 66.0% of the estimated market value of the underlying collateral of $469.0 million. The purchase price of the NPLs equals 77.0% of UPB and 60.5% of the underlying collateral of $134.6 million. The purchase price of the SBCs equals 100% of UPB and 52.4% of the underlying collateral of $6.2 million. The majority of these loans is expected to be acquired through joint ventures with third party institutional investors.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses accounting standard ("CECL") as promulgated under ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, and related amendments. Under CECL we expect to record a reclassification between the non-accretable yield portion of loan discount and allowance for credit impaired loans which will have no effect on our balance sheet presentation or on consolidated equity. We do not consider this transition adjustment to be material to our financial position or previously reported statements. During subsequent periods this allowance for credit losses will be adjusted either upward or downward for expected changes in future credit losses based on expected cash flows. These changes to the reserve will be recognized in our current period income. Historically, only reductions in expected cash flows were recognized in the current period earnings, while increases in expected cash flows were recognized prospectively over the remaining expected lives of the loan pools.
On February 25, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.32 per share, to be paid on March 27, 2020 to stockholders of record as of March 17, 2020.
On February 28, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a stock buyback of up to $25.0 million of our common shares. The amount and timing of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the price and availability of our common shares, trading volume and general circumstances and market conditions.
