New York, New York–November 5, 2014–Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE: NLY) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Financial Performance

GAAP net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $354.9 million, or $0.36 per average common share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $335.5 million, or $0.37 per average common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, and GAAP net income of $192.5 million, or $0.18 per average common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The increase in net income from the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to net losses on terminations of interest rate swaps incurred in the prior quarter, partially offset by lower unrealized gains on swaps for the current quarter. The increase from the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was largely driven by higher unrealized gains on interest rate swaps and lower realized losses on interest rate swaps during the current quarter. Core earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $308.6 million, or $0.31 per average common share, compared to $300.4 million, or $0.30 per average common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, and $282.3 million, or $0.28 per average common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. "Core earnings" represents a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) excluding gains or losses on disposals of investments and termination of interest rate swaps, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps and Agency interest-only mortgage-backed securities, net gains and losses on trading assets, impairment losses, and certain other non-recurring gains or losses.

Net interest margin for the quarters ended September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was 1.61%, 1.57% and 1.34%, respectively. Net interest margin represents the Company’s annualized economic net interest income, inclusive of interest expense on interest rate swaps, divided by its average interest-earning assets.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the average yield on interest earning assets was 2.99% and the average cost of interest bearing liabilities, including the net interest payments on interest rate swaps, was 1.64%, which resulted in a net interest spread of 1.35%.  Our average yield on interest earning assets decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as a result of higher amortization expense in the current quarter driven by faster prepayment speeds experienced quarter over quarter due to loan seasonality. Our average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014 due to interest rate swap unwinds throughout the prior quarter.

Wellington J. Denahan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Annaly, commented on the Company’s results. “We welcome the end of Quantitative Easing and look forward to the opportunities it presents as the mortgage market begins to adjust to fewer direct policy impacts on fundamentals.  We expect the market to endure higher levels of volatility but remain comfortable in our continued ability to deliver attractive relative returns.”

Investment Securities, which are comprised of Agency mortgage-backed securities and Agency debentures, were $82.8 billion at September 30, 2014, compared to $82.4 billion at June 30, 2014 and $83.0 billion at September 30, 2013.  As of September 30, 2014, substantially all of the Company’s Investment Securities were Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities and debentures.  Fixed-rate Agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures comprised 95% of the Company’s Investment Securities portfolio at September 30, 2014.  Adjustable-rate Agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures comprised 5% of the Company’s Investment Securities portfolio.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company disposed of $4.2 billion of Investment Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $4.7 million.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company disposed of $6.1 billion of Investment Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $5.9 million.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company disposed of $13.0 billion of Investment Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $43.6 million.

The Company’s net capital ratio takes into account the net balances of its U.S Treasury securities and U.S Treasury securities sold, not yet purchased, reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowed and securities loaned.  On a GAAP basis, the Company produced an annualized return (loss) on average equity for the quarters ended September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013 of 10.69%, (10.32%), and 5.87%, respectively.

At September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013 the Company had outstanding $69.6 billion, $70.4 billion, and $69.2 billion of repurchase agreements, respectively, with weighted average remaining maturities of 159 days, 173 days, and 200 days, respectively, and with weighted average borrowing rates of 1.61%, 1.59%, and 2.02%, respectively, after giving effect to the Company’s interest rate swaps.

The following table presents the principal balance and weighted average rate of repurchase agreements by maturity at September 30, 2014:

Maturity	Principal Balance		Weighted Average Rate
	(dollars in thousands)
Within 30 days	$	20,641,847		0.28	%
30 to 59 days		14,241,967		0.37	%
60 to 89 days		2,871,206		0.38	%
90 to 119 days		10,548,578		0.37	%

Total	$	69,610,722		0.58	%

(1) Approximately 12% of the total repurchase agreements have a remaining maturity over 1 year.

Hedge Portfolio

At September 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with a net notional amount of $31.5 billion and interest rate swaptions with a net notional amount of $1.9 billion, representing 48% of the Company’s repurchase agreements.

At September 30, 2014, the Company had entered into interest rate swaptions with a net notional amount of $1.9 billion. Changes in the unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate swaptions are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  The interest rate swaptions provide the Company with the option to enter into an interest rate swap agreement for a specified notional amount, duration, and pay and receive rates.  As of September 30, 2014, the long swaption portfolio had a weighted average pay rate of 3.13% and weighted average maturity of 4.82 months. As of September 30, 2014, there were no short swaption positions.

Dividend Declarations

Taxable earnings and GAAP net income will typically differ due to items such as non-taxable unrealized and realized gains and losses, differences in premium amortization and discount accretion, non-deductible general and administrative expenses and other GAAP to tax differences. The annualized dividend yield on the Company’s common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, based on the September 30, 2014 closing price of $10.68, was 11.24%, compared to 10.50% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, and 12.09% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
