BETHESDA, Md., April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Capital Agency Corp. ("AGNC" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AGNC) today reported comprehensive income for the first quarter of 2014 of $423 million, or $1.18 per common share, and net book value of $24.49 per common share. Economic return for the period, defined as dividends per common share plus the change in net book value per common share, was a gain of $1.21 per common share, or 5.1% for the quarter, or 20.5% on an annualized basis.
FIRST QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
OTHER FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
"We are pleased to see some stability return to the fixed-income markets," commented Gary Kain, President and Chief Investment Officer. "Against this backdrop, AGNC was able to produce an economic return of just over 5% for the quarter, which equates to 20% on an annualized basis. Additionally, we remain optimistic about the outlook for the agency MBS market as low origination volumes and conservative MBS positioning should compensate for the continued tapering of the Federal Reserve's agency MBS and U.S. Treasury purchases. To this point, April has been a very good month for agency MBS providing a solid 'tailwind' for economic returns so far during the second quarter."
Malon Wilkus, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "2013 was a challenging year for agency mortgage REITs and we are pleased that the significant actions that we took during 2013, from repositioning our portfolio to shrinking our capital base through the repurchase of our common stock, helped drive our performance this quarter and positions us well for the remainder of 2014."
NET BOOK VALUE
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's net book value per common share was $24.49, or $0.56 higher than the December 31, 2013 net book value per common share of $23.93, led by tighter mortgage spreads on the Company's ≤ 15-year securities.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's investment portfolio totaled $70.5 billion of agency MBS, including $14.1 billion of net long TBA mortgage positions, at fair value. The Company also held $352 million of investments in other agency mortgage REIT equity securities.
The Company accounts for TBA dollar roll positions as derivative instruments and recognizes dollar roll income in other income (loss), net on the Company's financial statements. As of March 31, 2014, the Company's net TBA mortgage portfolio had a fair value and cost basis of approximately $14.1 billion and a net carrying value of $(25) million reported in derivative assets/(liabilities) on the Company's balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's investment portfolio was comprised of $67.6 million of fixed-rate securities, inclusive of the net long TBA position; $1.2 billion of adjustable-rate securities; and $1.7 billion of collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), including principal and interest-only strips.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's fixed-rate mortgage assets were comprised of:
As of March 31, 2014, inclusive of net TBA positions, ≤ 15-year fixed rate securities represented 48% of the Company's investment portfolio, a decrease from 51% as of December 31, 2013, and 30-year fixed rate securities represented 46% of the Company's investment portfolio, an increase from 43% as of December 31, 2013.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's fixed-rate mortgage assets, inclusive of the net TBA position, had a weighted average coupon of 3.50%, comprised of a weighted average coupon of 3.17% for ≤ 15-year fixed rate securities, 3.50% for 20-year fixed-rate securities and 3.84% for 30-year fixed-rate securities.
CONSTANT PREPAYMENT RATES
The actual CPR for the Company's investment portfolio during the first quarter was 7%, compared to 8% for the prior quarter. The weighted average projected CPR for the remaining life of the Company's agency securities held as of March 31, 2014 was 8%, an increase from 7% as of December 31, 2013. The Company's net TBA dollar roll position is not included in the CPR calculations above.
The Company amortizes or accretes premiums and discounts associated with purchases of agency securities into interest income using the effective yield method over the estimated life of such securities, incorporating both actual repayments to date and projected CPRs over the remaining life of the security. The weighted average cost basis of the Company's investment portfolio was 104.8% of par value as of March 31, 2014; therefore, faster actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful negative impact on the Company's asset yields, while slower actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful positive impact.
Net premium amortization on the Company's investment portfolio for the first quarter was $(142) million, or $(0.40) per common share, compared to $(117) million, or $(0.31) per common share, for the fourth quarter. The change in the Company's weighted average projected CPR estimate resulted in recognition of approximately $(25) million, or $(0.07) per common share, of "catch-up" premium amortization cost during the first quarter, compared to approximately $28 million, or $0.07 per common share, of "catch-up" premium amortization benefit during the fourth quarter. The unamortized net premium balance as of March 31, 2014 was $2.6 billion.
ASSET YIELDS, COST OF FUNDS AND NET INTEREST RATE SPREAD
The Company's average asset yield on its agency security portfolio for the first quarter was 2.54%, compared to 2.82% for the fourth quarter. The Company's average asset yield for the first quarter includes 16 bps of "catch-up" premium amortization cost due to changes in projected CPR estimates, compared to 14 bps of "catch-up" premium amortization benefit during the fourth quarter. Excluding the impact of "catch-up" premium amortization cost/benefit, the Company's average asset yield was 2.70% for the current quarter, compared to 2.68% for the prior quarter. The Company's average asset yield reported as of March 31, 2014 was 2.72%, an increase from 2.70% as of December 31, 2013.
The Company's average cost of funds (derived from the cost of repurchase agreements, other debt and interest rate swaps) for the first quarter increased 10 bps to 1.35% from 1.25% for the fourth quarter, while the Company's average cost of funds as of March 31, 2014 increased 14 bps to 1.45% from 1.31% as of December 31, 2013, reflective of a higher ratio of interest rate swaps to repo and other debt outstanding during the quarter.
The Company also recognized $48 million, or $0.14 per common share, of estimated dollar roll income during the quarter, compared to $(0.02) of dollar roll expense during the prior quarter, due to a larger long TBA position during the quarter.
The Company's average net interest rate spread and dollar roll income for the quarter was 1.43%, a decrease of 13 bps from 1.56% during the prior quarter. Excluding "catch-up" premium amortization cost/benefit, the Company's average net spread and dollar roll income for the quarter was 1.59%, an increase of 17 bps from 1.42% for the prior quarter.
LEVERAGE
As of March 31, 2014, $49.6 billion of the Company's repurchase agreements were used to fund acquisitions of agency securities ("agency repo"), while the remainder, or $0.1 billion, was used to fund purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and is not included in the Company's leverage measurements. The Company's leverage ratio as of March 31, 2014 was 5.9x. Inclusive of the net TBA position, the Company's "at risk" leverage ratio as of March 31, 2014 was 7.6x, or slightly higher than 7.5x as of December 31, 2013. The Company's average leverage ratio and average "at risk" leverage ratio for the first quarter was 6.7x and 7.2x, respectively. The Company's leverage ratios exclude equity allocated to investments in REIT equity securities.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's agency repo agreements had a weighted average interest rate of 0.43%, a decrease from 0.45% as of December 31, 2013, while the weighted average remaining days to maturity increased to 162 days as of March 31, 2014 from 124 days as of December 31, 2013.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's agency repo agreements had remaining maturities consisting of:
HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As of March 31, 2014, 94% of the Company's outstanding balance of repurchase agreements, other debt and net TBA position was hedged through interest rate swaps, swaptions and net Treasury positions, compared to 86% as of December 31, 2013.
The Company's interest rate swap positions as of March 31, 2014 totaled $46.4 billion in notional amount. During the quarter, the Company terminated $2.8 billion of interest rate swaps and entered into new swap agreements totaling $5.9 billion. The new swap agreements have a weighted average fixed pay rate of 2.97%, an average forward start date of 1.9 years and an average maturity of approximately 7.9 years as of March 31, 2014. Excluding $9.5 billion of forward starting swaps as of March 31, 2014, the Company's interest rate swap portfolio had an average fixed pay rate of 1.57% and a weighted average receive rate of 0.21%, largely unchanged from December 31, 2013. Including forward starting swaps, the Company's interest rate swap portfolio had an average fixed pay rate of 1.87% and an average maturity of 4.9 years from March 31, 2014, compared to 1.70% and 4.7 years, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. The Company enters into swaps with longer maturities with the intention of protecting its net book value and longer term earnings potential against the impact of rising interest rates.
The Company utilizes interest rate swaptions to mitigate exposure to larger, more rapid increases in interest rates. During the first quarter, the Company added $1.0 billion in notional amount of payer swaptions, at a total cost of $15 million, while $7.3 billion of payer swaptions from previous quarters expired or were terminated resulting in net realized losses of $(81) million. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had payer swaptions totaling $8.0 billion of notional value outstanding at a market value of $93 million and a cost basis of $194 million, with an average remaining option term of 1.0 year and an average underlying interest rate swap term of 5.7 years, compared to $14.3 billion notional value, $335 million market value, $258 million cost basis, 0.9 years remaining option term and 7.0 years average underlying swap term as of December 31, 2013.
During the quarter the Company also added a $1.0 billion notional value receiver swaption at a cost of $3 million, a 1 year option term and an underlying swap term of 10 years.
The Company utilizes long and short positions in U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury futures to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a net short position of $6.5 billion (market value) in U.S. Treasury securities and a $901 million (market value) short position in U.S. Treasury futures, a total net increase of $7.2 billion from December 31, 2013.
OTHER INCOME (LOSS), NET
During the first quarter, the Company recorded a net loss of $(397) million in other income (loss), net, or $(1.12) per common share, compared to a net loss of $(483) million, or $(1.29) per common share for the prior quarter. Other income (loss), net for the first quarter was comprised of:
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
During the first quarter, the Company recorded other comprehensive income of $564 million, or $1.59 per common share, driven primarily by unrealized gains on the Company's agency securities.
ESTIMATED TAXABLE INCOME
Estimated taxable income for the first quarter was $0.47 per common share, or $0.88 higher than the Company's GAAP net loss per common share.
The primary differences between tax and GAAP net income are (i) unrealized gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps and other derivatives and securities marked-to-market in current income for GAAP purposes, but excluded from taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) timing differences, both temporary and potentially permanent, in the recognition of certain realized gains and losses and (iii) temporary differences related to the amortization of net premiums paid on investments.
The Company's estimated taxable income for the first quarter excludes $0.29 per common share of estimated net capital gains (including $0.14 per common share of TBA dollar roll income) applied against the Company's prior year net capital loss carryforward.
FIRST QUARTER 2014 DIVIDEND DECLARATIONS
On March 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a first quarter dividend on its common stock of $0.65 per share, unchanged from the prior quarter, which was paid on April 28, 2014 to common stockholders of record as of March 31, 2014. Since its May 2008 initial public offering, the Company has paid a total of $4.4 billion in common dividends, or $28.26 per common share.
On March 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a first quarter dividend on its 8.000% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") of $0.50 per share. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2014 to preferred stockholders of record as of April 1, 2014.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $146 million of estimated undistributed taxable income ("UTI"), or $0.42 per common share, net of dividends declared. UTI excludes the Company's remaining prior year non-deductible capital losses of $(1.7) billion, or $(4.77) per common share, as of March 31, 2014, which may be carried forward and applied against future net capital gains through 2018.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
During the first quarter, the Company made open market purchases of 3.4 million shares of its common stock, or 1% of the Company's outstanding shares as of December 31, 2013. The shares were purchased at an average price of $22.10 per share, including expenses, totaling $74 million. Since commencing a stock repurchase program in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company has purchased 46.3 million shares of its common stock, or 12% of the Company's outstanding shares at its peak in March 2013, for total consideration of $1.0 billion, including expenses. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $1 billion remaining available under current Board of Director authorization for repurchases of its common stock through December 31, 2014.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates, changes in the yield curve, changes in prepayment rates, the availability and terms of financing, changes in the market value of the Company's assets, general economic conditions, market conditions, conditions in the market for agency securities, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Copies are available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt or new information, or otherwise.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial information, including net spread income, estimated taxable income and certain financial metrics derived from non-GAAP information, such as estimated undistributed taxable income, which the Company's management uses in its internal analysis of results, and believes may be informative to investors.
Net spread income consists of adjusted net interest income, less total operating expenses. Adjusted net interest income is interest income less interest expense (or "GAAP net interest income"), less other periodic interest rate swap interest costs reported in other income (loss), net.
Estimated taxable income is pre-tax income calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code rather than GAAP. Estimated taxable income differs from GAAP income because of both temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition. Examples include (i) unrealized gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps and other derivatives and securities marked-to-market in current income for GAAP purposes, but excluded from estimated taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) timing differences, both temporary and potentially permanent, in the recognition of certain realized gains and losses and (iii) temporary differences related to the amortization of net premiums paid on investments. Furthermore, estimated taxable income can include certain information that is subject to potential adjustments up to the time of filing of the appropriate tax returns, which occurs after the end of the calendar year of the Company.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors because net spread income is a financial metric used by management and investors and estimated taxable income is directly related to the amount of dividends the Company is required to distribute in order to maintain its REIT tax qualification status. The Company also believes that providing investors with net spread income, estimated taxable income and certain financial metrics derived based on such estimated taxable income, in addition to the related GAAP measures, gives investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. However, because net spread income and estimated taxable income are an incomplete measure of the Company's financial performance and involve differences from net income computed in accordance with GAAP, net spread income and estimated taxable income should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of net spread income and estimated taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
