Mortgage-Backed Securities |
Mortgage-Backed Securities The following tables present details of the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company's Agency RMBS include mortgage pass-through certificates and CMOs representing interests in or obligations backed by pools of residential mortgage loans issued or guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or government-sponsored enterprise, or "GSE." The non-Agency RMBS portfolio is not issued or guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or any agency of the U.S. Government and is therefore subject to greater credit risk.

(1)Weighted average coupon represents the weighted average pass-through rates of the securities rather than the weighted average gross mortgage rates of the underlying collateral. (2)Average lives of RMBS are generally shorter than stated contractual maturities. Average lives are affected by the contractual maturities of the underlying mortgages, scheduled periodic payments of principal, and unscheduled prepayments of principal.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Catch-up Premium Amortization Adjustment was $(0.3) million and $(0.5) million, respectively. At March 31, 2023, the Company had gross unrealized losses on RMBS of $(52.8) million, of which $(0.2) million relates primarily to adverse changes in estimated future cash flows on Agency IOs. At December 31, 2022, the Company had gross unrealized losses on RMBS of $(78.1) million, of which $(0.2) million relates primarily to adverse changes in estimated future cash flows on Agency IOs, primarily resulting from an increase in expected prepayments. The Company determined for certain securities that a portion of such securities' cost basis is not collectible; for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized realized losses on such securities of $(0.2) million and $(0.3) million, respectively. Such realized losses are reflected in Net realized gains (losses) on securities, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
