Key Points
- Net interest income increased for the third consecutive quarter, signaling sustained growth and profitability.
- GAAP net income was $12.9 million, with distributable earnings of $2.8 million, reflecting strong financial performance.
- Successful execution of AOMT 2024-4 securitization, a $300 million deal, which is expected to drive further net interest income expansion.
- Credit performance improved with a decrease in the 90-plus day delinquency rate from 2.2% to 1.8%.
- GAAP and economic book values per share increased, indicating a positive trend in asset valuation.
- Despite net interest income growth, the company's operating expenses increased modestly due to year-end legal and audit fees.
- Interest rates on warehouse financing lines remained high, impacting the cost of capital.
- The company's net interest income minus expenses is currently below the dividend payout, indicating potential pressure on dividend sustainability.
- Reliance on securitization and loan purchases to drive growth could be risky if market conditions change unfavorably.
- The company is considering engaging with capital markets, which could introduce new risks or dilute current shareholders.
