Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Active management drives increase in portfolio yield

Fundamentals remain strong across diversified portfolio

Q4 common stock dividend of $0.42 per share

Atlanta - February 20, 2019-- Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (NYSE: IVR) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Highlights:

• Q4 2018 net loss attributable to common stockholders of $172.2 million or $1.54 basic loss per common share compared to a net loss of $64.5 million or $0.58 basic loss per common share in Q3 2018

• Q4 2018 core earnings* of $50.8 million or core earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.46compared to $45.6 million or core EPS of $0.41 in Q3 2018

• Q4 2018 book value per diluted common share** of $15.27 compared to $16.83 at Q3 2018 and $18.35 at Q4 2017

• Q4 2018 common stock dividend maintained at $0.42 per share

"We are pleased to announce core earnings* of $0.46 per common share for the fourth quarter, up from $0.41 last quarter. During the second half of 2018, we began to reposition our Agency portfolio into newly issued 30 year Agency RMBS and Agency CMBS to take advantage of accretive opportunities in those sectors. Our portfolio repositioning drove an increase in our weighted average asset yield to 4.02% as of December 31, 2018, up 24 basis points from 3.78% as of September 30, 2018. As a result of the heightened volatility across nearly all Agency and credit assets during the fourth quarter, our book value** ended the year at $15.27, down 9.3% for the quarter, before recovering approximately half the decline during the month of January. The additional capital raised from our common stock offering in early February allowed us to take advantage of accretive opportunities in our target assets, given the attractive entry points as a result of the fourth quarter volatility" said John Anzalone, Chief Executive Officer.

* Core earnings (and by calculation, core earnings per common share) are non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial measures. Refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for important disclosures and a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

**Book value per diluted common share is calculated as total equity less the liquidation preference of our Series A Preferred Stock ($140.0 million), Series B Preferred Stock ($155.0 million) and Series C Preferred Stock ($287.5 million); divided by total common shares outstanding plus Operating Partnership Units convertible into shares of common stock (no shares as of December 31, 2018; 1,425,000 shares as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively).

Financial Summary

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $172.2 million, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $64.5 million for the third quarter. The net loss in the fourth quarter was primarily due to a $293.5 million net loss on derivative instruments that was only partially offset by a $77.0 million net gain on investments and $74.5 million of net interest income, whereas the Company's third quarter loss was primarily driven by a $140.7 million realized loss on the sale of investments. Fourth quarter derivative losses resulted from declining interest rates over the quarter while corresponding gains on investments were limited by higher interest rate spreads. Book value per diluted common share as of December 31, 2018 decreased to $15.27 compared to $16.83 as of September 30, 2018 reflecting net losses on derivative instruments that exceeded increases in the valuations of the Company's investment portfolio.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company generated $50.8 million in core earnings compared to $45.6 million in the third quarter. Higher core earnings reflect a $6.1 million increase in effective net interest income driven by the Company's portfolio repositioning in the second half of the year.

The Company continued to reposition its portfolio during the fourth quarter by rotating out of seasoned Agency RMBS and into newly issued 30 year Agency RMBS and Agency CMBS to take advantage of accretive opportunities in these sectors. The Company purchased approximately $794 million of securities during the quarter with proceeds from sales and paydowns of securities. The Company had average earning assets of $18.1 billion and interest income of $176.1 million in the fourth quarter compared to average earning assets of $18.4 billion and interest income of $162.1 million during the third quarter. Average earning asset yields rose 35 basis points in the fourth quarter to 3.88% from 3.53% in the third quarter reflecting slower prepayment speeds in all asset classes as well as higher yields on recently acquired 30 year Agency RMBS and Agency CMBS assets and higher index rates on floating and adjustable rate securities. As of December 31, 2018, the Company's holdings of 30 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS represented 56% of its total investment portfolio. The Company allocated 49% of its equity to Agency RMBS and Agency CMBS as of December 31, 2018 as returns on Agency RMBS and CMBS continued to be attractive compared to credit assets.

The Company had average borrowings of $15.8 billion and total interest expense of $101.6 million in the fourth quarter compared to average borrowings of $16.0 billion and total interest expense of $91.3 million during the third quarter. The Company's average cost of funds rose to 2.57% in the fourth quarter from 2.29% in the third quarter. The increase in the Company's cost of funds reflects higher repurchase agreement borrowing rates leading up to the December 2018 increase in the federal funds target interest rate.

The Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 6.7x as of December 31, 2018 compared to 6.4x as of September 30, 2018 reflecting a $198.7 million decrease in equity driven by losses on derivative instruments in the fourth quarter and the redemption of Invesco Ltd.'s wholly-owned subsidiary's minority interest in the Company's operating partnership.

Total expenses for the fourth quarter were approximately $12.4 million compared to $11.8 million for the third quarter. The ratio of annualized total expenses to average equity* for the fourth quarter was 2.55%.

As previously announced, the Company completed a public offering of 16.1 million shares of common stock at the price of $15.73 per share on February 7, 2019. Total net proceeds were approximately $249.7 million after deducting estimated offering expenses.

In addition, the Company declared the following dividends on December 14, 2018: a common stock dividend of $0.42 per share paid on January 28, 2019 to its stockholders of record as of December 26, 2018 and a Series A preferred stock dividend of $0.4844 per share paid on January 25, 2019 to its stockholders of record as of January 1, 2019. The Company declared the following dividends on its Series B and Series C Preferred Stock on February 14, 2019 to its stockholders of record as of March 5, 2019: a Series B Preferred Stock dividend of $0.4844 per share payable on March 27, 2019 and a Series C Preferred Stock dividend of $0.46875 per share payable on March 27, 2019.

Exhibit 99.1

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating results and believes these financial measures are useful to investors in assessing the Company's performance as further discussed below:

• core earnings (and by calculation, core earnings per common share),

• effective interest income (and by calculation, effective yield),

• effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds),

• effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin), and

• repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio. 

The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are:

• net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (and by calculation, basic earnings (loss) per common share),

• total interest income (and by calculation, earning asset yield),

• total interest expense (and by calculation, cost of funds),

• net interest income (and by calculation, net interest rate margin), and

• debt-to-equity ratio. 

The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company's management should be analyzed in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be considered substitutes for U.S. GAAP financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of its peer companies.

Core Earnings

The Company calculates core earnings as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted for (gain) loss on investments, net; realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net; unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net; realized and unrealized (gain) loss on GSE CRT embedded derivatives, net; (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, net; amortization of net deferred (gain) loss on de-designated interest rate swaps; net loss on extinguishment of debt; and cumulative adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest. The Company may add and has added additional reconciling items to its core earnings calculation as appropriate.

The Company believes the presentation of core earnings provides a consistent measure of operating performance by excluding the impact of gains and losses described above from operating results. The Company excludes the impact of gains and losses because gains and losses are not accounted for consistently under U.S. GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, certain gains and losses are reflected in net income whereas other gains and losses are reflected in other comprehensive income. For example, a portion of the Company's mortgage-backed securities are classified as available-for-sale securities, and changes in the valuation of these securities are recorded in other comprehensive income on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company elected the fair value option for its mortgage-backed securities purchased on or after September 1, 2016, and changes in the valuation of these securities are recorded in other income (loss) in the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, certain gains and losses represent one-time events.

The Company believes that providing transparency into core earnings enables its investors to consistently measure, evaluate and compare its operating performance to that of its peers over multiple reporting periods. However, the Company cautions that core earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), or as an indication of the Company's cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), a measure of the Company's liquidity, or an indication of amounts available to fund its cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.

(5) Cumulative dividends are charged to retained earnings when declared or earned under U.S. GAAP. Prior to 2017, the Company declared quarterly dividends on its Series B Preferred Stock prior to dividends accumulating.  As of September 14, 2017, the Company had declared cumulative dividends on its Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance through December 26, 2017.  In December 2017, the Company deferred declaring its next dividend on Series B Preferred Stock to February 2018. The Company reduced core earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2017 for the cumulative impact of deferring the declaration date to February 2018 because the Company considers all dividends accumulated during a quarter a current component of its capital costs regardless of the dividend declaration date.

(6) On September 14, 2017, the Company declared a dividend on its Series C Preferred Stock that covered the period from the date of issuance, August 16, 2017, to but not including the dividend payment date, December 27, 2017. The Company increased core earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 for the portion of the dividend from October 1, 2017 through December 26, 2017 because the Company did not consider the future unaccumulated portion of the dividend a current component of its capital costs. The Company reduced core earnings for this portion of the dividend for the three months ended December 31, 2017.

(7) Core earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is equal to core earnings divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Exhibit 99.1

Effective Interest Income/ Effective Yield/ Effective Interest Expense/Effective Cost of Funds/Effective Net Interest Income/Effective Interest Rate Margin

The Company calculates effective interest income (and by calculation, effective yield) as U.S. GAAP total interest income adjusted for GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest that is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net. The Company includes its GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest in effective interest income because GSE CRT coupon interest is not accounted for consistently under U.S. GAAP. The Company accounts for GSE CRTs purchased prior to August 24, 2015 as hybrid financial instruments, but has elected the fair value option for GSE CRTs purchased on or after August 24, 2015. Under U.S. GAAP, coupon interest on GSE CRTs accounted for using the fair value option is recorded as interest income, whereas coupon interest on GSE CRTs accounted for as hybrid financial instruments is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss). The Company adds back GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest to its total interest income because the Company considers GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest a current component of its total interest income irrespective of whether the Company has elected the fair value option for the GSE CRT or accounted for the GSE CRT as a hybrid financial instrument.

The Company calculates effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds) as U.S. GAAP total interest expense adjusted for contractual net interest expense on its interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net and the amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps that is recorded as repurchase agreements interest expense. The Company views its interest rate swaps as an economic hedge against increases in future market interest rates on its floating rate borrowings. The Company adds back the net payments it makes on its interest rate swap agreements to its total U.S. GAAP interest expense because the Company uses interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense. The Company excludes the amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps from its calculation of effective interest expense because the Company does not consider the amortization a current component of its borrowing costs.

The Company calculates effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin) as U.S. GAAP net interest income adjusted for contractual net interest expense on its interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, amortization of net deferred gains (losses) on de-designated interest rate swaps that is recorded as repurchase agreements interest expense and GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest that is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net.

The Company believes the presentation of effective interest income, effective yield, effective interest expense, effective cost of funds, effective net interest income and effective interest rate margin measures, when considered together with U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding the Company's borrowing costs and operating performance.

Repurchase Agreement Debt-to-Equity Ratio

The following tables show the allocation of the Company's equity to its target assets, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio, and the Company's repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. The Company's debt-to-equity ratio is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is the ratio of total debt (sum of repurchase agreements and secured loans) to total equity. The Company presents a repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure of leverage, because the mortgage REIT industry primarily uses repurchase agreements, which typically mature within one year, to finance investments. The Company believes presenting the Company's repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio when considered together with its U.S. GAAP financial measure of debt-to-equity ratio, provides information that is useful to investors in understanding the Company's refinancing risks, and gives investors a comparable statistic to those other mortgage REITs who almost exclusively borrow using short-term repurchase agreements that are subject to refinancing risk.

(2) Agency RMBS and non-Agency CMBS average borrowings and cost of funds include borrowings under repurchase agreements and secured loans.

(3) Amount represents the maximum borrowings at month-end during each of the respective periods.

(4) Average cost of funds is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense excluding amortization of net deferred gain (loss) on de-designated interest rate swaps by the Company's average borrowings.

(5) Interest rate swaps average fixed pay rate is calculated by dividing annualized contractual swap interest expense by the Company's average notional balance of interest rate swaps.

(6) Interest rate swaps average floating receive rate is calculated by dividing annualized contractual swap interest income by the Company's average notional balance of interest rate swaps.

(7) For a reconciliation of cost of funds to effective cost of funds, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
