Saxon Capital, Inc. ("Saxon" or the "Company")
(NYSE:SAX), a residential mortgage lending and servicing real estate
investment trust (REIT), today announced third quarter 2005 net income
of $11.6 million or $0.23 per share diluted, compared to net income of
$38.3 million or $1.14 per share diluted for the third quarter of
2004, and $19.4 million or $0.38 per share diluted for the second
quarter of 2005. During the third quarter of 2005, Saxon recorded a
reserve of $6.8 million in connection with losses that may occur in
the mortgage loan portfolio due to Hurricane Katrina. The Company has
also recorded additional mortgage servicing right impairments related
to Hurricane Katrina of $0.4 million. During the third quarter of
2005, Saxon recorded a cumulative adjustment to increase income tax
benefit and increase deferred tax asset of approximately $3.7 million.
The adjustment had no impact on cash flows, taxable income or the
amount of dividends declared for any of these periods.
"During the third quarter, we continued to see the unfavorable
market conditions that we discussed in the second quarter", said
Michael L. Sawyer, Chief Executive Officer of Saxon. "The continued
rise in short-term interest rates, and accelerated prepayment speeds,
coupled with the extended period of muted market pricing increases
continue to adversely effect our results. We remain committed to
prudent management through these times, concentrating on reducing
general and administrative expenses, growing our centralized retail
origination platform, focusing on capital preservation, and ensuring a
strong balance sheet."
Financial Performance
Net interest income was $46.6 million for the third quarter of
2005, compared to $61.7 million for the third quarter of 2004 and
$50.1 million for the second quarter of 2005. Net interest margin was
3.0% for the third quarter of 2005 compared to 4.6% for the third
quarter of 2004 and 3.3% for the second quarter of 2005. Net interest
margin is calculated as net interest income divided by average
interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets are
calculated using a daily average balance over the time period
indicated. Net interest margin after provision for mortgage loan
losses was 1.8% for the third quarter of 2005, compared to 3.5% for
the third quarter of 2004 and 2.4% for the second quarter of 2005.
Excluding the reserve of $6.8 million related to Hurricane Katrina,
Saxon's net interest margin after provision for mortgage loan losses
for the third quarter 2005 would have been 2.2%. Net interest margin
after provision for mortgage loan losses is calculated as net interest
income after provision for mortgage loan losses divided by average
interest-earning assets.
Faster prepayment of the higher weighted average coupon mortgage
loan portfolio reduced gross interest income. Mortgage loans with a
lower weighted average coupon produced during a period of intense
pricing competition replaced the higher weighted average coupon loans.
Gross interest expense increased due to the rise in 1-month LIBOR
and its impact on Saxon's long- and short-term financing. As of
September 30, 2005, 1-month LIBOR had increased approximately 202
basis points since September 30, 2004, and approximately 52 basis
points since June 30, 2005. The increase in the 2/3-year swap curve
positively impacted the Company's hedge values. At September 30, 2005,
Saxon recognized an unrealized hedge gain of approximately $25.2
million (pre-tax), which is reflected as a component of shareholder's
equity in accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed
consolidated balance sheet. The Company's unrealized hedge gain is
accreted into income as a reduction of interest expense in the
condensed consolidated statement of operations in future periods over
the expected life of the related debt.
Total delinquencies (excluding Hurricane Katrina) increased $53
million from the second quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2005.
Saxon increased its provision for mortgage loan losses to $19.4
million, which includes a $6.8 million reserve related to Hurricane
Katrina.
Servicing income, net of amortization and impairment, was $19.1
million for the third quarter of 2005, compared to $8.4 million for
the third quarter of 2004 and $17.2 million for the second quarter of
2005. During the quarter, the Company recorded a $3.4 million
temporary impairment to mortgage servicing rights, $0.4 million of
which was related to Hurricane Katrina and the remainder of which was
related to faster prepayment speeds and lower market valuation on
older third party servicing portfolios. Saxon's third party servicing
portfolio grew 8.6% to $20.2 billion at September 30, 2005, compared
to $18.6 billion at June 30, 2005. During the third quarter 2005,
Saxon purchased servicing rights on $4.1 billion in mortgage loan
pools.
Total net revenues for the third quarter of 2005 were $46.3
million, compared to $55.6 million for the third quarter of 2004 and
$54.5 million for the second quarter of 2005.
Total expenses, which include payroll and related expenses,
general and administrative expenses and other expenses, were $41.1
million for the third quarter of 2005, compared to $36.3 million for
the third quarter of 2004 and $32.8 million for the second quarter of
2005.
Total expenses increased in the third quarter 2005 from third
quarter of 2004 due to $1.9 million of severance expense related to
the departure of the Executive Vice President Capital Markets and
Senior Vice President and Corporate Strategies Director, and an
increase in accounting, consulting/outside services, and lease
expenses.
Total expenses increased in the third quarter 2005 from the second
quarter of 2005 due to an increase in severance (as mentioned above),
salary, lease and retail marketing expenses. In addition, the amount
of FAS 91expenses deferred on a per loan basis was reduced in the
third quarter 2005 by $1.2 million due to the impact of a lower retail
cost structure.
Cost to service was 17 basis points for the third quarter of 2005,
compared to 20 basis points for the third quarter of 2004, and a 17
basis points cost in the second quarter of 2005. Total net cost to
produce was 2.96% of total loan production for the third quarter of
2005, compared to 2.79% for the third quarter of 2004 and 2.84% for
the second quarter of 2005. The increase in net cost to produce from
the second quarter 2005 to the third quarter 2005 is primarily
attributed to an increase in correspondent premiums paid.
Cost to service and total net cost to produce are measures defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission as "non-GAAP financial
measures." Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures,
when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can
provide useful supplemental information about the efficiency of the
Company's processes to its investors. Tables reconciling the Company's
calculation of cost to service and total net cost to produce to GAAP
results are set forth in Exhibit A.

*T
The estimated REIT taxable income for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 set forth in the table above is an estimate
only and is subject to change until the Company files its 2005 REIT
federal tax returns.
To maintain the status as a REIT, Saxon is required to distribute
at least 90% of its REIT taxable income each year to its shareholders.
REIT taxable income is calculated under consolidated net income
pursuant to GAAP. Saxon expects that consolidated GAAP net income may
differ from REIT taxable income for many reasons, including the
following:
-- the provision for loan loss expense recognized for GAAP
purposes is based upon the estimate of probable loan losses
inherent in our current portfolio of loans held for
investment, for which the Company has not yet recorded a
charge-off (tax accounting rules allow a deduction for loan
losses only in the period when a charge-off occurs);
-- there are several differences between GAAP and tax
methodologies for capitalization of origination expenses; and
-- income of a taxable REIT subsidiary is generally included in
the REIT's earnings for consolidated GAAP purposes, but is not
recognized in REIT taxable income.
Saxon expects that its REIT taxable income will continue to differ
from GAAP consolidated income, particularly during the period in which
the Company is building its mortgage loan portfolio.
Estimated REIT taxable income is a non-GAAP financial measure
within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Management believes that the presentation of REIT
taxable income provides useful information to investors regarding our
estimated annual distributions to our investors. The presentation of
REIT taxable income is not to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Portfolio Credit Performance
Saxon's net mortgage loan portfolio totaled $6.2 billion at
September 30, 2005, an increase of 10.7% from September 30, 2004 and
an increase of 1.6% from June 30, 2005. Seriously delinquent (60+ days
past due) loans were 6.4% of net mortgage loan portfolio at September
30, 2005, compared to 6.6% at September 30, 2004 and 6.0% at June 30,
2005. Saxon's allowance for loan losses was $49.2 million at September
30, 2005, compared to $36.3 million at September 30, 2004, and $36.3
million at June 30, 2005. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
net mortgage loan portfolio balance increased to 0.79% at September
30, 2005 from 0.65% at September 30, 2004, and increased from 0.59% at
June 30, 2005. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
delinquency and serious delinquency was 7.0% and 14.2% for the third
quarter of 2005 compared to 5.9% and 11.3% for the third quarter of
2004 and 5.7% and 11.2% for the second quarter of 2005 (excluding real
estate owned delinquencies). Saxon's total delinquent and seriously
delinquent loans continue to trend in line with historical seasonal
data and include approximately $32.2 million of loans impacted by
Hurricane Katrina. The Company increased its allowance for loan losses
by $6.8 million for the potential impact of Hurricane Katrina.
Loan Production
Mortgage loan production (excluding called loans from off balance
sheet securitizations) was $847.76 million for the third quarter of
2005, a decrease of 15% compared to the third quarter of 2004, and an
increase of 8% from the second quarter of 2005. Mortgage loan
production (excluding called loans from off balance sheet
securitizations) was $2.4 billion for the nine months ended September
30, 2005, compared to $2.7 billion for the nine months ended September
30, 2004.
Saxon's wholesale mortgage loan production was $404.6 million
during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 2% from the third
quarter of 2004, and an increase of 7% from the second quarter of
2005. Wholesale mortgage loan production was $1.1 billion for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, which was flat compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2004. Saxon's retail mortgage loan
production was $170.3 million during the third quarter of 2005, a
decrease of 31% from the third quarter of 2004, and a decrease of 4.5%
from the second quarter of 2005. Retail mortgage loan production was
$550.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a
decrease of 22% from the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Saxon's
correspondent flow mortgage loan production was $228.7 million during
the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of 14% from the third quarter of
2004, and an increase of 15% from the second quarter 2005.
Correspondent flow mortgage loan production was $650.94 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 11% from the
nine months ended September 30, 2004. Correspondent bulk mortgage loan
production was $44.2 million during the third quarter of 2005, a
increase of 11% from the third quarter of 2004, and a increase of 33%
from the second quarter 2005. Correspondent bulk mortgage loan
production was $115.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005, a decrease of 2% from the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Saxon's production in 2005 has been negatively impacted by the
closing and/or divestiture of several retail branches, and the intense
pricing competition existing in the marketplace throughout the first
nine months of 2005.
Loan Servicing
Saxon's third party servicing portfolio was $20.2 billion at
September 30, 2005, an increase of 92% from September 30, 2004, and an
increase of 8% from June 30, 2005, resulting from the purchase of
additional third party servicing rights. During the third quarter of
2005, Saxon purchased third party servicing rights to service
approximately $4.1 billion of mortgage loans, which have annual
servicing fees of approximately 50 basis points.
Liquidity
At September 30, 2005, Saxon had $1.7 billion in committed
facilities and $154.0 million in working capital, compared to $1.6
billion in committed facilities and $333.0 million in working capital
at September 30, 2004. It is common business practice to define
working capital as current assets less current liabilities. However,
the Company does not have a classified balance sheet and therefore
calculates working capital using an internally defined formula, which
is generally calculated as unrestricted cash and investments as well
as unencumbered assets that can be pledged against existing committed
facilities and converted to cash in five days or less. Management
believes that this working capital calculation provides a better
indication of the Company's liquidity available to conduct business at
the time of calculation. A reconciliation between the Company's
working capital calculation and the common definition of working
capital is presented in exhibit A.
During the third quarter of 2005, Saxon priced and closed a $900
million asset-backed securitization, Saxon Asset Securities Trust
2005-3.
Recent Developments
On October 18, 2005, Saxon announced its third quarter cash
dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock payable November 10, 2005
to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 28,
2005.

(1) Called loans are mortgages purchased from the SAST 98-3, 98-4, 99-
1 and 99-4 securitizations pursuant to the clean-up call provision of
the trust.
(2) Net cost to produce is defined as production expenses and premium
paid, net of fees collected, divided by loan production.
See net cost to produce calculation in Exhibit A.
(3) Beginning January 1, 2005, Correspondent flow and bulk g&a,
premium, and fees are combined to calculate net cost to produce for
the Correspondent business channel.
Prior periods have been recalculated to conform to the new
presentation.
(4) Cost to service is defined as servicing expenses dividend by
average total portfolio balance.
See cost of service calculation in Exhibit A.
(5) Credit quality statistics for quarters ended December 31, 2004 and
September 30, 2004, include called loan statistics. In addition,
all quarters presented include second mortgages originated and sold.
(6) Seriously delinquent is defined as 60 plus days past due.
(7) GAAP requires losses to be recognized immediately upon the loan
transferring to real estate owned. The trust does not recognize a
loss on real estate owned property until it is sold, which causes a
timing difference between GAAP and trust losses. In addition, trust
losses exclude losses resulting from a delinquent loan sale.
Exhibit A provides a reconcilation of GAAP to trust losses.
(8) Average interest earning assets is a daily average balance of
loans in the net mortgage loan portfolio.
(9) Average assets is calculated by adding current quarter and
previous quarter total assets, then dividing by 2.
Average equity is calculated by adding current quarter and previous
quarter
total shareholders' equity, then dividing by 2.
(10) Ratios are annualized.
(11) Net interest margin is calculated as the difference between
interest income and interest expense divided by average interest
earning assets.
(12) Efficiency ratio is calculated as total expenses divided by total
net revenues.
(13) See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of the calculation for non-
GAAP adjusted efficiency ratio.
(14) Represents actual stock prices during quarter. A $4.00 per
share merger consideration was paid during the third quarter 2004.

Net Cost to Produce (1)
Management believes net cost to produce is beneficial to investors
because it provides a measurement of efficiency in the origination
process.
The following table demonstrates the Company's calculation of net cost
to produce. There is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure
to "net cost to produce", the components of which are calculated in
accordance with GAAP.

(1) Net cost to produce is defined as production expenses and premium
paid, net of fees collected, divided by loan production.
(2) Beginning January 1, 2005, Correspondent flow and bulk g&a,
premium, and fees are combined to calculate net cost to produce for
the Correspondent business channel.
Prior periods have been recalculated to conform to the new
presentation.
(3) For purposes of net cost to produce, depreciation is removed from
other expenses (as it is presented on the income statement) and is a
component of the channel g&a expenses.
(4) Capitalized expenses are origination expenses that are capitalized
per FAS 91.
(5) Fees collected and premium are capitalized and held on balance
sheet as components of the net mortgage loan portfolio.
(6) Third quarter 2004 premium paid increased by $276 thousand due to
an adjustment. Total net cost to produce changed from 2.76% to
2.79% because of this adjustment.

=========== ============ ============ ============
It is common business practice to define working capital as
current assets less current liabilities. The Company does not have a
classified balance sheet and therefore calculates its working capital
using its own internally defined formula, which is generally
calculated as unrestricted cash and investments as well as
unencumbered assets that can be pledged against existing committed
facilities and converted to cash in five days or less.
