CHICAGO, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Deerfield Capital Corp. (NYSE AMEX: DFR) ("DFR" or the "Company") today announced the results of operations for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009. Third Quarter 2009 Summary -- Net income attributable to DFR for the quarter totaled $1.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share. -- Core earnings for the quarter totaled $5.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share. Core earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure which primarily reflects GAAP earnings excluding certain non-cash and special charges and income tax effects (see reconciliation of non-GAAP measure attached). -- Debt in the form of trust preferred securities amended to decrease net worth covenant contained therein from $175 million to $50 million and to provide that the initial measurement date for compliance with such covenant will be September 30, 2012. -- Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, unencumbered residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") and net equity in financed RMBS totaled approximately $61.4 million at quarter end. -- Assets under management ("AUM") totaled $9.6 billion at October 1, 2009. Commenting on the third quarter results, Jonathan Trutter, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to announce our third consecutive quarter of positive net income and core earnings. The stabilization of our financial results, strong liquidity position and permanent amendments to our trust preferred debt are significant accomplishments that we expect will improve the overall future outlook for DFR." Trutter added, "We continue to actively pursue new business opportunities to provide top line revenue growth as well as potential strategic opportunities to improve stockholder value." Third Quarter Financial Overview The results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 reflect the Company's third consecutive quarter of positive net income and core earnings. The net income attributable to DFR for the quarter totaled $1.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, a decline of $51.1 million as compared to $52.9 million, or $7.85 per diluted common share, during the second quarter of 2009. The Company's decline in net income for the quarter, as compared to the second quarter of 2009, was primarily related to the non-recurring deconsolidation of Market Square CLO Ltd. ("Market Square CLO") as of June 30, 2009. Market Square CLO provided $1.8 million of net interest income and $58.3 million in other income and gain (loss), $29.6 million of which was directly related to the deconsolidation of Market Square CLO and $28.7 million was related to appreciation of loans in the Market Square CLO portfolio, during the second quarter of 2009. The third quarter of 2009 showed a reduction in both the provision for loan losses and total expenses by $4.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. During the third quarter, DFR also had positive core earnings of $5.2 million, or $0.77 per share, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 5.5 percent, as compared to the $5.5 million, or $0.82 per share, of core earnings generated during the second quarter of 2009. Third quarter 2009 core earnings, which did not benefit from any contributions from Market Square CLO (as a result of its deconsolidation as of June 30, 2009), compare favorably with the second quarter 2009 core earnings, which included a net contribution of $1.7 million from Market Square CLO. Net interest income totaled $7.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 16.7 percent, as compared to $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. The deconsolidation of Market Square CLO as of June 30, 2009 resulted in a $1.8 million decrease in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2009. This decrease in net interest income was partially offset by a $0.6 million reduction in interest expense as compared to the second quarter of 2009 (excluding Market Square CLO) primarily resulting from the overall lower interest rate environment during the quarter. While interest income attributable to DFR Middle Market CLO Ltd. ("DFR MM CLO") and the Company's other corporate debt portfolio declined by $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, interest income attributable to the Company's RMBS portfolio increased by $0.2 million, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Investment advisory fees totaled $3.9 million in the quarter, a decline of $0.1 million, or 2.5 percent, as compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in investment advisory fees was primarily the result of noncompliance with certain overcollateralization tests contained in the indentures governing certain of the collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") that the Company manages. All or a portion of the Company's subordinated management fees from the CLOs may be deferred if, among other things, noncompliance with overcollateralization tests and other structural provisions cause cash flows from the CLOs to be diverted from the payment of management fees and other expenses to the prepayment of principal of the debt securities issued by the CLOs. Noncompliance with overcollateralization tests may occur if, for example, the issuers of the collateral held by the CLOs default on or defer payment of principal or the ratings assigned to such collateral are downgraded below a specified threshold. The Company expects substantially all of its CLO subordinated investment advisory fees to continue to be deferred in the near term. However, over time and with improvement in market conditions and effective portfolio management, the Company expects the CLOs to regain compliance with the overcollateralization tests and, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, the Company would expect to recoup at least a portion and potentially substantially all of the deferred subordinated management fees and to receive future CLO subordinated management fees on a current basis. The provision for loan losses was $4.2 million for the quarter as compared to $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. This quarter's provision for loan losses related entirely to loans held in DFR MM CLO. Expenses totaled $7.7 million for the quarter, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 35.8 percent, as compared to $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of $3.6 million of expenses recorded during the second quarter of 2009 related to Deerfield Pegasus Loan Capital LP ("DPLC"), the Company's investment venture with Pegasus Capital Advisors L.P. which the Company is required to consolidate, $3.2 million of which were one-time organizational and structuring fees. The expenses were paid by DPLC but are consolidated for GAAP reporting purposes. Net income (loss) related to the portion of DPLC that the Company does not own is added back to the Company's statement of operations as "Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest" in arriving at "Net income attributable to DFR." Excluding the $3.2 million of one-time expenses related to DPLC, third quarter expenses declined by $1.1 million, or 12.5 percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. The $0.4 million decline in compensation and benefits was primarily the result of a higher bonus accrual during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the third quarter. The $0.7 million decrease in other general and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2009 (excluding the one-time organizational expenses) was primarily the result of the Company's annual stock compensation award to the board of directors and a one-time success fee paid to our chairman during the second quarter of 2009. Other income and gain (loss) was a net gain of $3.0 million in the quarter as compared to a net gain of $58.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. The decline in the current quarter primarily resulted from the deconsolidation of Market Square CLO on June 30, 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, Market Square CLO contributed $29.6 million of gains as a result of deconsolidation and $28.7 million in gains on its loan portfolio. Trust Preferred Debt Amendment As previously announced, on July 31, 2009, the Company entered into three supplemental indentures (the "Supplemental Indentures") with the holders of the trust preferred securities issued by each of Deerfield Capital Trust I, Deerfield Capital Trust II and Deerfield Capital Trust III (collectively the "Trust Preferred Securities"). The Supplemental Indentures amend the consolidated net worth covenants (the "Net Worth Covenants") contained in the indentures governing the Trust Preferred Securities to (i) permanently decrease the net worth required by the Net Worth Covenants from $175 million to $50 million and (ii) provide that the initial measurement date for compliance with the Net Worth Covenants will be September 30, 2012. These provisions supersede the temporary waiver of the Net Worth Covenants obtained from the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities in November 2008. The Supplemental Indentures also contain provisions prohibiting the Company from incurring additional indebtedness and declaring additional dividends and distributions on its capital stock, in each case for the life of the Trust Preferred Securities and except as specifically permitted under the terms of the Supplemental Indentures. AUM As of October 1, 2009, the Company's AUM totaled approximately $9.6 billion held in 28 collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs"), DPLC and six separately managed accounts. Investment Portfolio Total invested assets increased by $7.3 million, or 1.2 percent, to $620.2 million as of September 30, 2009 as compared to the end of the second quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to purchases of investments in DPLC. Liquidity Unencumbered RMBS and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents aggregated $50.6 million at September 30, 2009. In addition, net equity in the financed RMBS portfolio (including associated interest rate swaps), excluding the unencumbered RMBS included above, totaled $10.8 million at quarter end. In total, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, unencumbered RMBS and net equity in its financed RMBS portfolio of $61.4 million as of September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the fair value of its Agency RMBS and non-Agency RMBS portfolios were $314.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively. About the Company DFR, through its subsidiary, Deerfield Capital Management LLC, manages client assets, including bank loans and other corporate debt, RMBS, government securities and asset-backed securities. In addition, DFR has a principal investing portfolio comprised of fixed income investments, including bank loans and other corporate debt and RMBS.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURE The Company believes that core earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful metric for evaluating and analyzing its performance. The calculation of core earnings, which the Company uses to compare financial results from period to period, eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and special charges and income tax. Core earnings provided herein may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies as it is a non-GAAP financial measure and may therefore be defined differently by other companies. Core earnings includes the earnings from the Company's consolidated variable interest entity ("VIE"), DFR MM CLO, and from Market Square CLO, which was a consolidated VIE until the Company sold all of its preference shares in Market Square CLO and deconsolidated that entity as of June 30, 2009. Core earnings is not indicative of cash flows received from these VIEs.
