Atlanta – February 18, 2010 -- Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (NYSE: IVR) (the “Company”) today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009.

The Company reported net income of $10.5 million, or $1.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.70 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) on July 1, 2009. The fourth quarter was the first completed quarter to reflect the full deployment of the IPO capital. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily driven by the $2.0 million gain on sale of securities and a $1.1 million increase in net interest income as a result of the full deployment of the IPO capital. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $17.5 million which represented a return on average equity of 16.5%.

The Company declared dividends of $1.05 and $1.66 per share for the fourth quarter of 2009 and the fiscal year respectively.

“Our fourth quarter results demonstrate our ability to acquire and finance a diversified portfolio that we believe will generate attractive returns for our shareholders,” said Richard J. King, Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the fourth quarter, we correctly anticipated that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would increase their buyouts of delinquent loans. As a result, we sold a portion of our agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) and deployed more equity into non-agency RMBS and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”). We believe our ability to rebalance asset classes is a strength of our investment strategy.”

Financial Summary

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s total portfolio of mortgage-backed securities was $802.6 million consisting of $556.4 million in agency RMBS, $115.3 million in non-agency RMBS, $101.1 million in CMBS and $29.7 million in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMO”). In addition, the Company’s investment in the Public Private Investment Fund managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc. totalled $4.1 million. The Company’s average earning assets declined slightly as the portfolio mix was rebalanced in favor of non-agency RMBS and CMBS.

The average portfolio yield as of December 31, 2009 was 6.10%, a 0.24% increase from September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to the rebalancing of the portfolio during the quarter as the Company acquired more non-agency RMBS and CMBS and sold a portion of its agency RMBS. The Company rebalanced its portfolio to reduce its exposure to agency RMBS that may experience increased prepayment speeds in the event that buyout volume of such assets increases.

During the quarter, prepayment speeds remained relatively contained due to home equity constraints and heightened underwriting standards, which continue to negate the impact of lower mortgage rates. The Company’s 15-year agency RMBS portfolio had a 3-month constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) of 15, versus a rate of approximately 22 for bonds with similar characteristics. The Company’s 30-year agency RMBS portfolio had a 3-month CPR of 23, compared to a rate of approximately 27 for bonds with similar characteristics. The Company’s agency Hybrid Adjustable Rate Mortgage (“ARM”) portfolio prepaid at a 20 CPR. The non-agency RMBS portfolio prepaid at a 3-month CPR of 16, as voluntary prepayments remained slightly higher than Company expectations. For the CMBS portfolio, the Company had no prepayment of principal. Overall, the weighted average 3-month CPR on the portfolio was 16.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company financed its portfolio with a combination of $546.0 million in borrowings under repurchase agreements secured by agency RMBS and $80.4 million in borrowings under the Federal Reserve’s Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility (“TALF”). For the quarter, the Company’s average borrowed funds were $666.2 million and the average cost to finance was 1.54%. Financing costs increased $0.5 million during the fourth quarter due to an increase in average borrowings following the full deployment of the IPO capital. The interest rate risk of the repurchase agreements was hedged with $375.0 million in interest rate swaps, which represented approximately 69% of the outstanding repurchase agreement balance as of December 31, 2009.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter totalled $1.6 million, consisting of the external management fee of $0.8 million and other operating expenses of $0.8 million.

The Company’s book value per share as of December 31, 2009 was $20.39 compared to $20.90 as of September 30, 2009. The decrease primarily consisted of $1.66 per share in dividends declared in the fourth quarter offset by fourth quarter earnings per share of $1.02 and approximately $0.13 per share appreciation in the value of the investment portfolio.

On January 12, 2010, the Company completed the sale of 8,050,000 shares of common stock at $21.25 per share pursuant to a follow-on offering. The net proceeds from the offering totalled approximately $163.0 million and will be used to purchase additional mortgage assets.
