AG Mortgage reveals non-agency origination performance in 2022

Non-agency lender AG Mortgage Investment Trust (MITT) has published its financial results for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2022.

The REIT posted a net loss of $3.12 per diluted common share in 2022. Its dividend per common share was down to $0.81 per common share. Adjusted book value per share at the end of the fourth quarter was $11.03, down 23% from $14.32 a year ago.

“During a volatile 2022, MITT remained disciplined by programmatically terming out its financing resulting in MITT being materially de-risked with ample liquidity as we head into 2023 in a position to play offense,” said AG Mortgage CEO and president TJ Durkin. “Notably, our adjusted book value improved 3% during the fourth quarter, and we’re seeing that trend continue as the markets have shown modest signs of recovery.”

AG Mortgage’s investment portfolio closed the year at $4.2 billion. The company purchased $2.6 billion of non-agency and agency-eligible loans, $142.1 million of which were acquired in the fourth quarter.

Its subsidiary Arc Homes also remained focused on financing non-QM loans despite the current dynamics of the mortgage originations market. Arc Home funded $1.9 billion of residential loans during 2022, $1.1 billion of which were non-agency loans. Additionally, AG Mortgage executed a rated non-agency securitization of $271.2 million of unpaid principal balance.
