Results Discussion
The Company's book value per common share of $13.80 as of March 31, 2023 declined $(0.93) from December 31, 2022 primarily due to spread widening on MBS as a result of turmoil in the banking sector during the first quarter of 2023. The impact of spread widening on the fair value of the Company's investment portfolio muted the benefit gained from the decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate during March 2023. The decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate also resulted in unrealized losses in the fair value of the Company's interest rate hedges. The resulting decline in fair value of the Company's interest rate hedges, net of its investment portfolio, of $(18.7) million comprised the majority of the Company's comprehensive loss to common shareholders of $(28.9) million, or $(0.54) per common share, for the first quarter of 2023. The Company realized gains of $89.0 million from its interest rate hedges in February 2023, which are included in its GAAP earnings but will not become distributable until amortized into taxable income over time. Further discussion of the interest rate hedge gains is provided below under "Hedging Portfolio." In addition to spread widening, the Company's earnings continue to be impacted by increasing borrowing costs as the Federal Reserve continues raising the U.S. Federal Funds Rate in its efforts to tame inflation. The Company's interest expense exceeded its interest income by $(0.5) million for the first quarter of 2023.

Average balance for assets is calculated as a simple average of the daily amortized cost and excludes securities pending settlement if applicable. |
(2) |
|
Average balance for liabilities is calculated as a simple average of the daily borrowings outstanding during the period. |
(3) |
|
Effective yield is calculated by dividing interest income by the average balance of asset type outstanding during the reporting period. Unscheduled adjustments to premium/discount amortization/accretion, such as for prepayment compensation, are not annualized in this calculation. |
(4) |
|
Cost of funds is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense by the total average balance of borrowings outstanding during the period with an assumption of 360 days in a year. |
(5) |
|
CMBS IO ("Interest only") includes Agency and non-Agency issued securities. |
(6) |
|
Drop income from TBA securities is calculated by multiplying the notional amount of the TBA dollar roll positions by the difference in price between two TBA securities with the same terms but different settlement dates. |
(7) |
|
See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. Adjusted net interest spread includes the impact from TBA drop income of 87 basis points for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 53 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2022. |
Hedging Portfolio
The Company's realized gains and losses on its interest rate hedges are recognized in its GAAP earnings upon maturity or termination of the derivative instrument, but are not included in the Company's earnings available for distribution ("EAD"), a non-GAAP measure, and are not recognized in taxable income during the same period. Because these derivative instruments are designated for tax purposes as interest rate hedges, the realized gains and losses are instead amortized into the Company's REIT taxable income over the original periods hedged by those derivatives. On a tax basis, the benefit expected to be recognized in taxable income for the first quarter of 2023 is estimated to be $18.2 million, or $0.34 per average common share outstanding, which is not included in the Company's EAD of $(8.7) million, or $(0.16) per common share. The Company's remaining estimated net deferred tax hedge gains from its interest rate hedging portfolio was $766.0 million as of March 31, 2023. These hedge gains will be part of the Company's future distribution requirements along with net interest income and other ordinary gains and losses in future periods. The table below provides the projected amortization of the Company's net deferred tax hedge gains that may be recognized as taxable income over the periods indicated given conditions known as of March 31, 2023; however, uncertainty inherent in the forward interest rate curve makes future realized gains and losses difficult to estimate, and as such, these projections are subject to change for any given period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the Company’s financial and operating performance, management considers book value per common share, total economic return to common shareholders, and other operating results presented in accordance with GAAP as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include the following: EAD to common shareholders, adjusted net interest income and the related metric adjusted net interest spread. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors because they are viewed by management as a measure of the investment portfolio’s return based on the effective yield of its investments, net of financing costs and, with respect to EAD, net of other normal recurring operating income and expenses. Drop income generated by TBA dollar roll positions, which is included in "gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net" on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income, is included in these non-GAAP financial measures because management views drop income as the economic equivalent of net interest income (interest income less implied financing cost) on the underlying Agency security from trade date to settlement date.
However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP earnings and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs because they may not be calculated in the same manner. Furthermore, though EAD is one of several factors management considers in determining the appropriate level of distributions to common shareholders, it should not be utilized in isolation, and it is not an accurate indication of the Company’s REIT taxable income nor its distribution requirements in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented below.
