Management Commentary

Commenting on third quarter results, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Unlike the second quarter, the third quarter of 2025 was generally free of market moving events unlike the second. As a result, interest rates were generally range bound and slightly lower on the quarter, implied interest rate volatility continued to decline steadily, and mortgage spreads tightened modestly but still offer attractive returns on a historical basis. In all it was a very favorable environment for levered Agency Residential Mortgage Backed Securities ("RMBS") investors, and the companies in the sector generated strong financial results for the quarter, including Orchid Island Capital, Inc. ("Orchid"). The quarter was also conducive to capital raising by the mortgage Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") sector and most companies in the space did so, including Orchid once again.

“Like the second quarter of 2025, our advisory service revenues for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2025, continued to expand, increasing by 26% and 35%, respectively, over the comparable 2024 periods. Likewise, interest revenues for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 17% and 3%, respectively, over the comparable 2024 periods. Our advisory services segment generated net income of $2.4 million, and our investment portfolio generated net income of $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2025. On a consolidated basis, Bimini generated net income of $1.8 million, or $0.18 per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Bimini recorded net income of $2.4 million, or $0.24 per share.

“As the fourth quarter unfolds the markets are faced with a prolonged government shutdown that commenced on October 1, 2025. Economic data related to the labor market release during the third quarter of 2025 was quite weak, and the Fed shifted its balance of risks outlook towards economic weakness, leading to two 25 basis point interest rate cuts – in September and October. Interest rate volatility has remained low – both realized and implied in the swaptions market, and Agency RMBS have continued to perform well. The market remains generally conducive to both Agency mortgage REIT performance and capital raising. Without most economic data available due to the government shutdown, markets are unable to clearly discern the evolving performance of the economy, and the Federal Reserve may withhold further monetary policy steps until there is more clarity on the economic outlook. In the interim the Company should continue to benefit from the favorable market conditions.”

Details of Third Quarter 2025 Results of Operations

Bimini's advisory service revenues of approximately $4.5 million represented a 35% increase over the third quarter of 2024 and a 17% increase over the second quarter of 2025. This was a result of Orchid's increased stockholders' equity from $912.0 million at June 30, 2025 to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2025. Orchid reported net income for the third quarter of 2025 of $72.1 million and generated a 6.7% return on its book value for the quarter – not annualized. Orchid also raised $152.3 million in new equity during the quarter.

Interest revenue from Royal Palm's MBS portfolio increased 3% from the third quarter of 2024, but decreased 3% from the second quarter of 2025. Repurchase agreement ("Repo") funding costs decreased by approximately 16% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the 2024 third quarter and by 3% from the second quarter of 2025. Net interest income, inclusive of dividends from holdings of Orchid common shares, increased by approximately 84% over the third quarter of 2024, but decreased by approximately 2% from the second quarter of 2025 owing primarily to the sale of assets in the MBS portfolio during the first half of 2025. These amounts represent net interest income from the investment portfolio and do not include interest charges on our trust preferred or other long-term debt.

Interest charges on the trust preferred and other long-term debt of $0.54 million were virtually unchanged from the second quarter of 2025 and were down 10% from the third quarter of 2024. Expenses of $3.0 million increased by 5% from the second quarter of 2025 and by 13% over the third quarter of 2024. Bimini recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2025.

Management of Orchid Island Capital, Inc.

Orchid is managed and advised by Bimini. As Manager, Bimini is responsible for administering Orchid’s business activities and day-to-day operations. Pursuant to the terms of a management agreement, our subsidiary, Bimini Advisors, provides Orchid with its management team, including its officers, along with appropriate support personnel. Bimini also maintains a common stock investment in Orchid, which is accounted for under the fair value option, with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations for the current period. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Bimini’s statement of operations included dividends of $0.2 million from its investment in Orchid common stock. Also, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, Bimini recorded $4.5 million in advisory services revenue for managing Orchid’s portfolio, consisting of $3.3 million of management fees, $0.9 million in overhead reimbursement, and $0.3 million in repurchase, clearing and administrative fees.

Book Value Per Share

The Company's book value per share on September 30, 2025 was $0.92. The Company computes book value per share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. At September 30, 2025, the Company's stockholders’ equity was $9.2 million, with 10,005,457 Class A Common shares outstanding.

(1)

Effective duration is the approximate percentage change in price for a 100 basis point change in rates. An effective duration of 2.699 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 2.699% decrease in the value of the MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2025. An effective duration of 3.622 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.622% decrease in the value of the MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2024. These figures include the structured securities in the portfolio but not the effect of the Company’s hedges. Effective duration quotes for individual investments are obtained from The Yield Book, Inc.

Financing and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had outstanding repurchase obligations of approximately $100.0 million with a net weighted average borrowing rate of 4.36%. These agreements were collateralized by MBS with a fair value, including accrued interest, of approximately $104.8 million. At September 30, 2025, the Company’s liquidity was approximately $9.7 million, consisting of unpledged MBS and cash and cash equivalents.

We may pledge more of our structured MBS as part of a repurchase agreement funding but retain cash in lieu of acquiring additional assets. In this way, we can, at a modest cost, retain higher levels of cash on hand and decrease the likelihood that we will have to sell assets in a distressed market in order to raise cash. Below is a list of outstanding borrowings under repurchase obligations at September 30, 2025.
