Management Overview
Steven Mumma, NYMT’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The Company had a solid quarter of earnings and book value, with GAAP earnings of $0.21 per common share and book value at $5.72, down $0.04 from the previous quarter. The Company delivered a 2.8% economic return for the quarter and a 7.1% annualized economic return for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company raised a total of $101.2 million in common equity during the quarter at an average net price of $6.02, or approximately 4% accretive to our June 30, 2018 book value.
The Company’s net interest margin improved 16 basis points to 255 basis points from the previous quarter. The improvement is largely attributable to our continued focus on credit sensitive assets in both residential and multi-family, adding $161.5 million during the quarter. The Company continues to see improved valuations for multi-family assets, with our multi-family CMBS contributing $12.3 million in unrealized gains during the quarter. The Company also benefited from a $3.6 million recovery in one of our multi-family joint venture equity investments which had been previously written down.
The Company sold distressed loans for total proceeds of $30.1 million in the quarter and anticipates more sales in the fourth quarter. The previously announced internalization of the single family residential credit strategy progressed nicely during the quarter with the addition of 11 employees, bringing the total number of new hires year-to-date to 12 employees. We continue to work towards a mutual early termination of our external management agreement and anticipate a final transition strategy for those services by the end of the year.
As we look at the fourth quarter of 2018, our pipeline for new investments is strong, with over $390 million in purchases or commitments to purchase credit assets, including securities and loans. We believe the addition of our new team of residential credit professionals, together with our existing team, has us well positioned for 2019. Consistent with our approach in recent years, we will continue to focus on credit assets as we believe these assets give us the best balance of risk and return."

Third Quarter Earnings Summary
For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $28.0 million as compared to $23.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
We generated net interest income of $19.6 million and a portfolio net interest margin of 255 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as compared to net interest income of $17.5 million and a portfolio net interest margin of 239 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The $2.1 million increase in net interest income in the third quarter was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in net interest income generated by our distressed residential portfolio and a $1.4 million increase in net interest income generated by our multi-family portfolio. Net interest income generated by our Agency RMBS portfolio decreased by $0.6 million primarily due to a decrease in average interest earning assets and an increase in funding costs for that portfolio during the quarter.
The main components of other income for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively, are detailed in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| Other Income (Loss) | September 30, 2018 | June 30, 2018 | ||||||
| Recovery of loan losses | $ | 840 | $ | 437 | ||||
| Realized gain (loss) on investment securities and related hedges, net | 299 | (8,654 | ) | |||||
| Realized gain on distressed residential mortgage loans at carrying value, net | 1,806 | 2,021 | ||||||
| Net gain on residential mortgage loans at fair value | 643 | 97 | ||||||
| Unrealized gain on investment securities and related hedges, net | 2,275 | 12,606 | ||||||
| Unrealized gain on multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts, net | 12,303 | 12,019 | ||||||
| Income from operating real estate and real estate held for sale in consolidated variable interest entities | 1,380 | 1,253 | ||||||
| Other income | 4,757 | 228 | ||||||
| Total other income | $ | 24,303 | $ | 20,007 | ||||
For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we recognized other income of $24.3 million primarily comprised of the following:
- Unrealized gain of $12.3 million on our Consolidated K-Series investments due to continued tightening of credit spreads from the previous quarter.
- Total net gain of $2.4 million from our residential mortgage loans, including distressed residential mortgage loans, primarily generated by sales during the period.
- Other income of $4.8 million primarily related to a $3.6 million valuation recovery from a joint venture equity investment and $1.2 million in income from other equity investments.
- Unrealized gain of $2.3 million from our interest rate swaps accounted for as trading instruments.
The change in net realized gain on investment securities and related hedges of $9.0 million and the decrease in net unrealized gain on investment securities and related hedges of $10.3 million from the previous quarter can be primarily attributed to the final liquidation of our Agency IO portfolio in the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
The following table details the general and administrative expenses for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 respectively (dollar amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| General and Administrative Expenses | September 30, 2018 | June 30, 2018 | ||||||
| Salaries, benefits and directors’ compensation | $ | 4,219 | $ | 3,173 | ||||
| Base management and incentive fees | 844 | 809 | ||||||
| Other general and administrative expenses | 1,977 | 2,103 | ||||||
| Total general and administrative expenses | $ | 7,040 | $ | 6,085 | ||||
The change in general and administrative expenses is primarily related to the increase in salaries and benefits due to the increase in employee headcount as part of the internalization of our single family residential credit strategy. We expect the increase to be offset by a decrease in base management and incentive fees upon expiration of our external management agreement.
The following table sets out the operating expenses related to our distressed residential mortgage loans and the operating real estate and real estate held for sale in consolidated variable interest entities for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively (dollar amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| Operating Expenses | September 30, 2018 | June 30, 2018 | ||||||
| Expenses related to distressed residential mortgage loans | $ | 2,117 | $ | 1,811 | ||||
| Expenses related to operating real estate and real estate held for sale in consolidated variable interest entities | 755 | 873 | ||||||
| Total operating expenses | $ | 2,872 | $ | 2,684 | ||||
The increase in operating expenses in the third quarter can be primarily attributed to our distressed residential loan strategy, including due diligence expenses for loan purchases and appraisal costs related to loan sales.
