CAPSTEAD MORTGAGE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2020
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS
Capstead Mortgage Corporation operates as a self-managed real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes (a “REIT”) and is based in Dallas, Texas. Unless the context otherwise indicates, Capstead Mortgage Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as “Capstead” or the “Company.” Capstead earns income from investing in a leveraged portfolio of residential mortgage pass-through securities consisting almost exclusively of adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) securities issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises, either Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or by an agency of the federal government, Ginnie Mae. Residential mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae are referred to as “Agency Securities” and are considered to have limited, if any, credit risk.
NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Interim Financial Reporting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. For further information refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”) which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that better reflects expected credit losses. For financial instruments carried at amortized cost, impairment will be measured as a current estimate of expected lifetime credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities in which changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, the FASB made targeted improvements eliminating the write-down of available-for-sale securities under the “other-than-temporarily” impaired model with an allowance for credit losses model. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 which had no material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows primarily due to the limited, if any, credit risk of Agency Securities.
NOTE 3 — NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income, after deducting dividends paid or accrued on preferred stock and allocating earnings to equity awards deemed to be participating securities pursuant to the two-class method, by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding, calculated excluding unvested stock awards. Participating securities include unvested equity awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends prior to vesting.
-8-
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the numerator used to compute basic net income (loss) per common share by the denominator used to compute basic net income (loss) per common share, further adjusted for the dilutive effect, if any, of equity awards and shares of preferred stock when and if convertible into shares of common stock. Shares of the Company’s

Agency Securities are considered to have limited, if any, credit risk because the timely payment of principal and interest is guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are federally chartered corporations, or Ginnie Mae, which is an agency of the federal government. Residential mortgage loans held by Capstead were originated prior to 1995 when the Company operated a mortgage conduit and the related credit risk is borne by the Company. Collateral for structured financings consists of private residential mortgage securities that are backed by loans obtained through this mortgage conduit and are pledged to secure repayment of related structured financings. Credit risk for these securities is borne by
-10-
the related bondholders. The maturity of Residential mortgage investments is directly affected by prepayments of principal on the underlying mortgage loans. Consequently, actual maturities will be significantly shorter than the portfolio’s weighted average contractual maturity of 290 months.
Fixed-rate investments consist of residential mortgage loans and Agency Securities backed by residential mortgage loans with fixed rates of interest. ARMs are adjustable-rate Agency Securities backed by residential mortgage loans that have coupon interest rates that adjust at least annually to more current interest rates or begin doing so after an initial fixed-rate period. After the initial fixed-rate period, if applicable, mortgage loans underlying ARM securities typically either (i) adjust annually based on specified margins over the one-year London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or the one-year Constant Maturity U.S. Treasury Note Rate (“CMT”), (ii) adjust semiannually based on specified margins over six-month LIBOR, or (iii) adjust monthly based on specified margins over indices such as one-month LIBOR, the Eleventh District Federal Reserve Bank Cost of Funds Index, or over a rolling twelve month average of the one-year CMT index, usually subject to periodic and lifetime limits, or caps, on the amount of such adjustments during any single interest rate adjustment period and over the contractual term of the underlying loans.
Capstead classifies its ARM investments based on average number of months until coupon reset (“months to roll”). Months to roll is an indicator of asset duration which is a measure of market price sensitivity to interest rate movements. A shorter duration generally indicates less interest rate risk. Current-reset ARM investments have months to roll of less than
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company sold available-for-sale securities using the specific identification method for proceeds totaling $
NOTE 5 — SECURED borrowings
Capstead pledges its Residential mortgage investments as collateral for secured borrowings primarily in the form of repurchase arrangements with commercial banks and other financial institutions (collectively referred to as “counterparties” or “lending counterparties”). Repurchase arrangements entered into by the Company involve the sale and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred assets at a future date and are accounted for as financings. The Company maintains the beneficial interest in the specific securities pledged during the term of each repurchase arrangement and receives the related principal and interest payments.
The terms and conditions of secured borrowings are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis when each such borrowing is initiated or renewed. The amount borrowed is generally equal to the fair value of the securities pledged, as determined by the lending counterparty, less an agreed-upon discount, referred to as a “haircut.” Interest rates are generally fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Interest may be paid monthly or at the termination of a borrowing at which time the
Company may enter into a new borrowing at prevailing haircuts and rates with the same lending counterparty or repay that counterparty and negotiate financing with a different lending counterparty. None of the Company’s lending counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new borrowings at the conclusion of existing borrowings. In response to declines in fair value of pledged securities due to changes in market conditions or the publishing of monthly security pay-down factors, lending counterparties typically require the Company to post additional securities as collateral, pay down borrowings or fund cash margin accounts with the counterparties in order to re-establish the agreed-upon
-11-
collateral requirements. These actions are referred to as margin calls. Conversely, in response to increases in fair value of pledged securities, the Company routinely margin calls its lending counterparties in order to have previously pledged collateral returned. Any margin calls funded with cash are included in Cash collateral receivable from secured borrowing counterparties.
Secured borrowings (and related pledged collateral, including accrued interest receivable), classified by collateral type and remaining maturities, and related weighted average borrowing rates as of the indicated dates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 6 — USE OF DERIVATIVES, OFFSETTING DISCLOSURES AND CHANGES IN OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME BY COMPONENT
Capstead’s portfolio of derivative financial instruments (“Derivatives”) hedge the variability of the underlying benchmark interest rate of current and forecasted 30- to 90-day secured borrowings. The Company attempts to mitigate exposure to higher interest rates primarily by entering into three-month LIBOR- and OIS-indexed, pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swap agreements for terms between
The Company discontinued hedge accounting in 2019 for its secured borrowings-related interest rate swaps and, for GAAP purposes, related changes in the fair value are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations beginning on the de-designation date. Also, for GAAP purposes, related net unrealized gains recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) through the de-designation date are being recognized as a component of interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining lives of these swaps.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Capstead entered into swap agreements with notional amounts of $

Interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily using Level 2 Inputs in accordance with ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). Fair value estimates for these Derivatives are calculated using the net discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted future variable cash receipts which are based on expected future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. Eurodollar futures are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on quoted exchange prices on these contracts. The Company also incorporates both its own nonperformance risk and its counterparties’ nonperformance risk in determining fair value. In considering the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considered the impact of netting and credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and guarantees, and has concluded that counterparty risk is not significant to the overall valuation.
The fair value of exchange-traded swap agreements hedging Secured borrowings is calculated including accrued interest and net of variation margin amounts received or paid through the exchange, resulting in separately presenting on the balance sheet a significantly reduced fair value amount representing the unsettled fair value of these Derivatives. Non-exchange traded swap agreements held as cash flow hedges of Unsecured borrowings are reported at fair value calculated excluding accrued interest. At March 31, 2020, Cash collateral receivable from derivative counterparties includes initial margin for all swap agreements and variation margin for non-exchange traded swap agreements. Accrued interest for non-exchange traded swap agreements is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses.

NOTE 8 — CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued
NOTE 9 — FAIR VALUE
The fair value of Capstead’s financial assets and liabilities are influenced by changes in, and market expectations for changes in, interest rates and market liquidity conditions, as well as other factors beyond the control of management. With the exception of the fair value of Eurodollar futures and lending counterparty investments, all fair values were determined using Level 2 Inputs in accordance with ASU
-17-
2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). Eurodollar futures are derivative contracts for which Level 1 inputs are used to determine fair value.
Residential mortgage investments, nearly all of which are mortgage securities classified as available-for-sale, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In determining fair value estimates the Company considers recent trading activity for similar investments and pricing levels indicated by lenders in connection with designating collateral for secured borrowings, provided such pricing levels are considered indicative of actual market clearing transactions. The Company currently bases fair value for Unsecured borrowings on discounted cash flows using Company estimates for market yields. Excluded from these disclosures are financial instruments for which cost basis is deemed to approximate fair value due primarily to the short duration of these instruments, which are valued using primarily Level 1 measurements, including Cash and cash equivalents, Cash collateral receivable from derivative counterparties, Cash collateral receivable from secured borrowings counterparties, receivables, payables and secured borrowings with initial terms of

From a credit risk perspective, federal government support for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac helps ensure that fluctuations in value are due to interest rate changes and are not due to credit risk associated with these securities. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in ARM Agency Securities were caused by interest rate changes, and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. The Company does not intend to sell the investments as of March 31, 2020 and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
Capstead operates as a self-managed REIT earning income from investing in a leveraged portfolio of residential mortgage pass-through securities consisting almost exclusively of short-duration ARM Agency Securities, which reset to more current interest rates within a relatively short period of time and are considered to have limited, if any, credit risk. See NOTE 1 to the consolidated financial statements (included under Item 1 of this report) for defined terms used in this discussion and analysis. By investing in short-duration ARM Agency Securities, the Company is positioned to benefit from future recoveries in financing spreads and experience smaller fluctuations in portfolio values compared to leveraged portfolios containing a significant amount of longer-duration ARM or fixed-rate mortgage securities. Duration is a common measure of market price sensitivity to interest rate movements. A shorter duration generally indicates less interest rate risk.
Capstead reported for GAAP purposes a net loss of $205 million representing a loss per diluted common share of $(2.21) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company reported core earnings of $20 million or $0.16 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. See “Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information on core earnings. The GAAP loss includes $156 million in losses on hedging-related derivatives due primarily to declining interest rates and $68 million in losses on the sale of $2.60 billion (basis) in ARM securities late in the quarter in order to ensure the Company had sufficient flexibility to meet future projected liquidity requirements while maintaining portfolio leverage at comfortable levels given disruptions experienced in the fixed income markets brought on by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. At March 31, 2020, the Company has met is liquidity requirements and given current conditions does not expect to make similar sales. GAAP and core earnings in the first quarter of 2020 benefited from lower secured borrowings rates primarily due to a total of 150 basis points in reductions in the Fed Funds rate in March and favorable terms on new interest rate swap agreements entered into during the quarter. These benefits more than offset lower portfolio yields due to lower coupon interest rates on loans underlying the Company’s ARM Agency Securities as well as changes in lifetime prepayment estimates. Book value per common share declined $2.55 per share during the quarter to $6.07 per share at March 31, 2020 primarily due to the derivative- and portfolio-related declines noted above.
Capstead finances its residential mortgage investments by leveraging its long-term investment capital with secured borrowings consisting primarily of borrowings under repurchase arrangements with commercial banks and other financial institutions. Long-term investment capital declined $230 million during the first quarter of 2020 to $942 million at March 31, 2020, consisting of $593 million of common and $251 million of preferred stockholders’ equity (recorded amounts), together with $98 million of unsecured borrowings maturing in 2035 and 2036.
Capstead’s residential mortgage portfolio decreased $2.72 billion during first quarter of 2020 to $8.50 billion at March 31, 2020 due primarily to asset sales and not replacing a portion of the Company’s portfolio runoff. Secured borrowings decreased $1.90 billion to $8.38 billion as a result of lower portfolio balances. Portfolio leverage (secured borrowings excluding $359 million in cash collateral pledged to secured borrowing counterparties divided by long-term investment capital) decreased to 8.51 to one at March 31, 2020 from 8.77 to one at December 31, 2019. Management continuously evaluates portfolio leverage levels in light of changes in market conditions.
-21-
COVID-19
An unprecedented, near-total shutdown of the U.S. economy beginning in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic heightened fears of extremely high credit default levels and recession, leading to de-risking occurring at all levels of the fixed income markets. Credit asset pricing came under severe pressure destabilizing fixed income markets and leading to lender margin calls, feeding additional selling as levered and even unlevered investors across the spectrum were forced to sell their most liquid positions to raise cash to meet additional margin calls and/or fund redemptions. Investors were already coming under stress due to declining Treasury rates which led to losses on derivatives held for hedging purposes and variation (valuation-based) margin calls. As the crisis deepened this additional drain on liquidity became more pronounced and included increased initial (base haircut) margin requirements due to heightened market volatility. The end result was sharply falling asset prices even as market interest rates declined. As a direct consequence, losses on derivatives were not offset by portfolio valuation gains leading to a significant decline in book value.
Intervention by the Federal Reserve in the form of the buying of fixed-rate Agency Securities late in March helped stabilize this key market sector leading to improved pricing levels for fixed-rate Agency Securities at quarter-end. While the Federal Reserve has not purchased ARM Agency Securities specifically, these actions also contributed to a more stable operating environment going forward for Capstead, leading to improved pricing levels for ARM Agency Securities subsequent to quarter-end. Looking forward, Capstead expects the lag in ARM pricing relative to fixed rate agency securities will dissipate over time.
The Company’s potential liquidity at March 31, 2020 was $422 million. Throughout this period of volatility Capstead met all of its funding requirements and believes it has ample access to necessary financing through its existing lending counterparties. See “Utilization of Long-term Investment Capital and Potential Liquidity” for further discussion.
The Company implemented portions of its business continuity plan and has not experienced any operational disruption due to its small number of employees who are all able to work remotely. Management will continue to closely monitor the development of the pandemic and adapt its response as necessary to ensure there is no operational disruption during this time.
Recent Common Equity Issuances
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Capstead issued 1.6 million shares of common stock through an at-the-market continuous offering program at an average issue price of $8.21, net of fees and other costs, for net proceeds of $12.9 million. Additional amounts of equity capital may be raised in the future under continuous offering programs or by other means, subject to market conditions, compliance with federal securities laws and blackout periods.
Book Value per Common Share
Book value per share (total stockholders’ equity, less liquidation preferences for outstanding shares of preferred stock, divided by outstanding shares of common stock) as of March 31, 2020 was $6.07 per share, a decrease of $2.55 per share or 30% from December 31, 2019 book value of $8.62 per share, primarily reflecting $1.84 per share in derivative-related declines in value, and $0.69 per share in portfolio-related declines.
-22-
All but $2 million of Capstead’s residential mortgage investments portfolio and all of its derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet and are therefore included in the calculation of book value per common share. None of the Company’s borrowings are recorded at fair value. See NOTE 9 to the consolidated financial statements (included under Item 1 of this report) for additional disclosures regarding fair values of financial instruments held or issued by the Company.
Fair value is impacted by market conditions, including changes in interest rates, and the availability of financing at reasonable rates and leverage levels, among other factors. The Company’s investment strategy attempts to mitigate these risks by focusing on investments in Agency Securities, which are considered to have little, if any, credit risk and are collateralized by ARM loans with interest rates that reset periodically to more current levels, generally within five years. Because of these characteristics, the fair value of the Company’s portfolio is considerably less vulnerable to significant pricing declines caused by credit concerns or rising interest rates compared to leveraged portfolios containing a significant amount of non-agency securities or longer-duration ARM and/or fixed-rate Agency Securities.

Capstead’s investment strategy focuses on managing a portfolio of residential mortgage investments consisting almost exclusively of ARM Agency Securities. Agency Securities are considered to have limited, if any, credit risk because the timely payment of principal and interest is guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are federally chartered corporations, or Ginnie Mae, which is an agency of the federal government. Federal government support for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has largely alleviated market concerns regarding the ability of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to fulfill their guarantee obligations.
By focusing on investing in short-duration ARM Agency Securities, changes in fair value caused by changes in interest rates are typically relatively modest compared to changes in fair value of longer-duration ARM or fixed-rate assets. This investment strategy positions the Company to benefit from potential recoveries in financing spreads.
Capstead classifies its ARM securities based on the average length of time until the loans underlying each security reset to more current rates (“months-to-roll”) (less than 18 months for “current-reset” ARM securities, and 18 months or greater for “longer-to-reset” ARM securities).

(a) |
Amortized cost basis represents the Company’s investment (unpaid principal balance plus unamortized investment premiums) before unrealized gains and losses. At March 31, 2020, the ratio of amortized cost basis to unpaid principal balance for the Company’s ARM holdings was 102.87. This table excludes $1 million in fixed-rate agency-guaranteed mortgage pass-through securities, residential mortgage loans and private residential mortgage pass-through securities held as collateral for structured financings. |
|
(b) |
Net WAC, or weighted average coupon, is the weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loans underlying the indicated investments, net of servicing and other fees as of the indicated date. Net WAC is expressed as a percentage calculated on an annualized basis on the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans underlying these investments. As such, it is similar to the cash yield on the portfolio which is calculated using amortized cost basis. Fully indexed WAC represents the weighted average coupon upon one or more resets using interest rate indexes and net margins as of the indicated date. Average net margins represent the weighted average levels over the underlying indexes that the portfolio can adjust to upon reset, usually subject to initial, periodic and/or lifetime caps on the amount of such adjustments during any single interest rate adjustment period and over the contractual term of the underlying loans. |
|
(c) |
ARM securities with initial fixed-rate periods of five years or longer typically have either 200 or 500 basis point initial caps (and floors) with 200 basis point periodic caps (and floors). Additionally, certain ARM securities held by the Company are subject only to lifetime caps or are not subject to a cap. Nearly all ARM securities held by the Company have lifetime floors equal to their net margins. For presentation purposes, average periodic caps in the table above reflect initial caps until after an ARM security has reached its initial reset date and lifetime caps, less the current net WAC, for ARM securities subject only to lifetime caps. At quarter-end, 66% of current-reset ARMs were subject to periodic caps averaging 1.90%; 25% were subject to initial caps averaging 2.84%; 8% were subject to lifetime caps averaging 6.63%; and less than 1% were uncapped. All longer-to-reset ARM securities at March 31, 2020 were subject to initial caps. |
|
(d) |
Gross WAC is the weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loans underlying the indicated investments, including servicing and other fees paid by borrowers, as of the indicated balance sheet date. |
Approximately 25%, or $834 million of the Company’s current-reset ARM securities with average net WACs of 2.68% and fully-indexed WACs of 2.60% will reset in rate for the first time in less than 18 months based on indices in effect at March 31, 2020. After consideration of any applicable initial fixed-rate periods, at March 31, 2020 approximately 90%, 5% and 3% of the Company’s ARM securities were backed by mortgage loans that reset annually, semi-annually and monthly, respectively, while approximately 2% reset every five years. Approximately 3% of the Company’s ARM securities were backed by interest-only loans, with remaining interest-only payment periods averaging 15 months at March 31, 2020. All percentages are based on averages of the characteristics of mortgage loans underlying each security and calculated using unpaid principal balances as of the indicated date.

Secured Borrowings and Related Derivatives Held for Hedging Purposes
Capstead has traditionally financed its residential mortgage investments by leveraging its long-term investment capital with secured borrowings consisting primarily of borrowings under repurchase arrangements with commercial banks and other financial institutions that involve the sale and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred assets at a future date and are accounted for as financings. The Company maintains the beneficial interest in the specific securities pledged during the term of each repurchase arrangement and receives the related principal and interest payments.
The terms and conditions of secured borrowings are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis when each such borrowing is initiated or renewed. None of the Company’s counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new borrowings at the conclusion of existing borrowings. Collateral requirements in excess of amounts borrowed (referred to as “haircuts”) averaged 4.59 percent of the fair value of pledged residential mortgage pass-through securities at March 31, 2020. After considering haircuts and related interest receivable on the collateral, as well as interest payable on these borrowings, the Company had $493 million of capital at risk with its lending counterparties at March 31, 2020. The Company did not have capital at risk with any single counterparty exceeding 8% of total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2020.
Secured borrowing rates are generally fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Interest may be paid monthly or at the termination of a borrowing at which time the Company may enter into a new borrowing at prevailing haircuts and rates with the same counterparty or repay that counterparty and negotiate financing with a different counterparty. When the fair value of pledged securities declines due to changes in market conditions or the publishing of monthly security pay-down factors, lenders typically require the Company to post additional securities as collateral, pay down borrowings or fund cash margin accounts with the counterparties in order to re-establish the agreed-upon collateral requirements, referred to as margin calls. Conversely, if collateral fair values increase, lenders are required to release collateral back to the Company pursuant to Company-issued margin calls.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s secured borrowings totaled $8.38 billion with 20 counterparties at average rates of 1.22%, before the effects of currently-paying interest rate swap agreements. The Company typically uses interest rate swap agreements with terms between 18 and 36 months and variable rate receipts primarily based on three-month LIBOR or Fed Funds to help mitigate exposure to rising short-term interest rates. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company reduced its swap positions by $3.00 billion notional amount in light of asset sales. At quarter-end the Company held $4.40 billion notional amount of these derivatives at fixed rates averaging 1.44% with contract expirations occurring at various dates through the first quarter of 2022 and a weighted average expiration of 16 months. In addition, at quarter-end the Company held a series of $500 million notional amount three-month Eurodollar futures contracts with a weighted average rate of 1.62% with maturities through June 2020.
Including the effects of these derivatives, the Company’s residential mortgage investments and secured borrowings had estimated durations at March 31, 2020 of 15 months and nine months, respectively for a net duration gap of approximately six months – see “Interest Rate Risk” for further information about the Company’s sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. The Company intends to continue to manage interest rate risk associated with holding and financing its residential mortgage investments by utilizing suitable derivatives such as interest rate swap agreements, Eurodollar futures and longer-maturity secured borrowings, if available at attractive rates and terms.

Utilization of Long-term Investment Capital and Potential Liquidity
Capstead’s investment strategy involves managing an appropriately leveraged portfolio of ARM Agency Securities that management believes can produce attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term, while reducing, but not eliminating, sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The potential liquidity inherent in the Company’s unencumbered residential mortgage investments is as important as the actual level of cash and cash equivalents carried on the balance sheet because secured borrowings generally can be increased or decreased on a daily basis to meet cash flow requirements and otherwise manage capital resources efficiently. Potential liquidity is affected by, among other factors:
|
|
• |
current portfolio leverage levels, |
|
|
• |
changes in market value of assets pledged and derivatives held for hedging purposes as determined by lending and swap counterparties, |
|
|
• |
mortgage prepayment levels, |
|
|
• |
collateral requirements of lending and derivative counterparties, and |
|
|
• |
general conditions in the commercial banking and mortgage finance industries. |
Capstead’s utilization of its long-term investment capital and its estimated potential liquidity were as follows as of March 31, 2020 in comparison with December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

In order to efficiently manage its liquidity and capital resources, Capstead attempts to maintain sufficient liquidity reserves to fund borrowing and derivative margin calls under stressed market conditions, including margin calls resulting from monthly principal payments (remitted to the Company 20 to 45 days after any given month-end), as well as reasonably possible declines in the market value of pledged assets and derivative positions. Should market conditions deteriorate, management may reduce portfolio leverage and increase liquidity by raising new equity capital, selling mortgage securities and/or curtailing the replacement of portfolio runoff. Additionally, the Company routinely does business with a large number of lending counterparties, which bolsters financial flexibility to address challenging market conditions and limits exposure to any individual counterparty.
In March 2020, volatility spiked in the fixed income and equity markets in general and the mortgage market in particular as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout this period of volatility, the Company met all of its funding requirements and believes it has ample access to necessary financing through its existing lending counterparties. In order to ensure sufficient flexibility to meet future projected liquidity requirements while maintaining portfolio leverage at comfortable levels, the Company sold a
-26-
portion of its portfolio in late March, ceased replacing portfolio runoff and reduced its swap positions. The Company also raised $12.9 million in new common equity capital during February 2020 utilizing its at-the-market continuous issuance program. Future levels of portfolio leverage will be dependent on many factors, including the size and composition of the Company’s investment portfolio (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources”). After not replacing April portfolio runoff and with book value modestly higher on April 30th, portfolio leverage was estimated to be 7.8 to one. The Company anticipates replacing runoff for May and future months if market conditions allow.
Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management believes the presentation of core earnings and core earnings per common share, both non-GAAP financial measures, when analyzed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP operating results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate the Company’s performance and provide investors management’s view of the Company’s economic performance. The Company defines core earnings as GAAP net income (loss) excluding (a) unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, (b) realized loss (gain) on termination of derivative instruments, (c) amortization of unrealized (gain) loss of derivative instruments held at the time of de-designation, and (d) realized loss (gain) on securities. The following reconciles GAAP net (loss) income and net (loss) income per diluted common share to core earnings and core earnings per common share:

Management believes that presenting financing spreads on residential mortgage investments, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information for evaluating the performance of the Company’s portfolio as opposed to total financing spreads because the non-GAAP measure speaks specifically to the performance of the Company’s investment portfolio.

Capstead reported for GAAP purposes a net loss of $205 million or $(2.21) per diluted common share during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. This compares to a GAAP net loss of $8 million or $(0.15) per diluted common share for the same period in 2019. GAAP net income was negatively impacted during the quarter primarily by losses on derivatives of $156 million due largely to lower prevailing interest rates and losses on sales of investments of $68 million.
Capstead’s core earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled $20 million or $0.16 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to core earnings of $15 million or $0.12 per diluted common share for the same period in 2019. Core earnings in 2019 benefited from lower borrowing rates while being negatively impacted by lower yields on its residential mortgage investments.
Interest income on residential mortgage investments was lower by $14.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This decrease is attributable to $7.7 million in decreases related to lower average yields and $6.9 million in decreases related to lower average portfolio balances.
Yields on residential mortgage investments for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 decreased 26 basis points compared to the same period in 2019, averaging 2.49% primarily due to larger adjustments for investment premium amortization as a result of changes in lifetime prepayment estimates. Yields were also negatively impacted by lower cash yields in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2019 due largely to ARM loan coupon interest rates resetting lower to more current rates. Asset sales in response to the COVID-19 market disruptions had little effect on first quarter 2020 earnings because they occurred late in March.
Interest expense on secured borrowings was lower by $18.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This decrease is attributable to $14.1 million in decreases related to lower average borrowing rates and $4.4 million in decreases related to lower average borrowings.
Secured borrowing rates, after adjusting for hedging activities, decreased 51 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 to average 1.72%. Market conditions contributed to lower borrowing rates, including three 25 basis point decreases in the Federal Funds rate in 2019 followed by 150 basis points in rate cuts in March 2020. Average fixed-rate swap payment rates were 162 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to 201 basis points for the same period in 2019. This decline was largely due to efforts to reposition the swap portfolio to take advantage of declining market interest rates over the course of 2019 and a reduction in swap positions due to asset sales in the first quarter of 2020. Currently-paying swap balances were lower, averaging $7.10 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $7.30 billion for the same period in 2019. Future secured borrowing rates will be dependent on market conditions, including overall levels of market interest rates as well as the availability of longer-maturity borrowings and interest rate swap agreements at attractive rates.
Total operating costs, which include Compensation-related expense and Other general and administrative expense, during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were lower by $1.3 million compared to the same period in 2019. The variance was primarily related to $1.4 million in lower incentive compensation expense during the first quarter of 2020.

liquidity and capital resources
Capstead’s primary sources of funds are secured borrowings and monthly principal and interest payments on its investments. Other sources of funds may include proceeds from debt and equity offerings and asset sales. The timing, manner, price and amount of any future common and preferred issuances and any common stock repurchases will be made in the open market at the Company’s discretion, subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, compliance with federal securities laws and tax regulations as well as blackout periods associated with the dissemination of important Company-specific news.
The Company generally uses its liquidity to pay down secured borrowings to reduce borrowing costs and otherwise efficiently manage its long-term investment capital. Because the level of these borrowings can generally be adjusted on a daily basis, the Company’s potential liquidity inherent in its unencumbered residential mortgage investments is as important as the level of cash and cash equivalents carried on the balance sheet. The table included under “Utilization of Long-term Investment Capital and Potential Liquidity” illustrates management’s estimate of additional funds potentially available to the Company at March 31, 2020. The discussion accompanying this table and under “COVID-19” provides insight into the Company’s current liquidity position and perspective on what level of portfolio leverage to employ under current market conditions. The Company currently believes that it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources available for the acquisition of additional investments, repayments on borrowings and the payment of cash dividends as required for the Company’s continued qualification as a REIT.
Capstead finances its residential mortgage investments primarily by borrowing under repurchase arrangements, the terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis, when each such borrowing is initiated or renewed.
Future borrowings are dependent upon the willingness of lenders to participate in the financing of Agency Securities, lender collateral requirements and the lenders’ determination of the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates and liquidity conditions within the commercial banking and mortgage finance industries. None of the Company’s borrowing counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new borrowings at the conclusion of existing borrowings. After the sale of $2.60 billion (basis) in ARM Agency Securities late in March in response to COVID-19 market disruptions, secured borrowings totaled $8.38 billion at March 31, 2020, all maturing within 90 days. Secured borrowings began the year at $10.28 billion and averaged $10.34 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Average secured borrowings can differ from period-end balances for a number of reasons including portfolio growth or contraction, as well as differences in the timing of portfolio acquisitions relative to portfolio runoff.
To help mitigate exposure to rising short-term interest rates, the Company uses derivatives supplemented with longer-maturity secured borrowings when available at attractive rates and terms. At quarter-end the Company held $4.40 billion notional amount of portfolio financing-related interest rate swap agreements with contract expirations occurring at various dates through the first quarter of 2022 and a weighted average expiration of 16 months. In addition, at quarter-end the Company held a series of $500 million notional amount three-month Eurodollar futures contracts with a weighted average rate of 1.62% with maturities through June 2020. The Company also holds swap agreements effectively locking in lower fixed rates of interest during the 20-year floating rate terms of the Company’s $100 million face amount of unsecured borrowings that mature in 2035 and 2036. The Company intends to continue to utilize suitable derivatives such as interest rate swap agreements or other derivatives and longer-maturity secured borrowings to manage interest rate risk when available at attractive rates and terms.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Capstead issued 1.6 million shares of common stock through an at-the-market continuous offering program at an average issue price of $8.21, net of fees and other costs, for net proceeds of $12.9 million. Additional amounts of equity capital may be raised in the future
-31-
under continuous offering programs or by other means, subject to market conditions, compliance with federal securities laws and blackout periods.
Interest Rate Risk
Because Capstead’s residential mortgage investments consist almost entirely of Agency Securities, which are considered to have limited, if any, credit risk, interest rate risk is the primary market risk faced by the Company. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to a number of factors, including economic conditions, government fiscal policy, central bank monetary policy and banking regulation. By focusing on investing in relatively short-duration ARM Agency Securities, declines in fair value caused by increases in interest rates are typically relatively modest compared to investments in longer-duration ARM or fixed-rate assets. These declines can be recovered in a relatively short period of time as coupon interest rates on the underlying mortgage loans reset to rates more reflective of the then-current interest rate environment. This strategy also positions the Company to benefit from future recoveries in financing spreads that typically contract during periods of rising interest rates.
Derivatives and longer-maturity secured borrowings transactions lengthen the effective duration of the Company’s secured borrowings to more closely match the duration of its portfolio of residential mortgage investments. Including the effects of derivatives held to hedge changes in secured borrowing rates, at March 31, 2020 the Company’s residential mortgage investments and secured borrowings had estimated durations of approximately 15 months and nine months, respectively, for a net duration gap of approximately six months. The Company intends to continue to manage interest rate risk associated with holding and financing its residential mortgage investments by utilizing suitable interest rate swap agreements or other derivatives and longer-maturity secured borrowings, if available at attractive rates and terms.
Capstead performs sensitivity analyses to estimate the effects that specific interest rate changes can reasonably be expected to have on net interest margins and portfolio values. All investments, secured borrowings and related derivatives held are included in these analyses. For net interest margin modeling purposes, the model incorporates management’s assumptions for mortgage prepayment levels for a given interest rate change using market-based estimates of prepayment speeds for the purpose of amortizing investment premiums and reinvesting portfolio runoff. These assumptions are developed through a combination of historical analysis and expectations for future pricing behavior under normal market conditions unaffected by changes in market liquidity. For portfolio valuation modeling purposes, a static portfolio is assumed.
This model is the primary tool used by management to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest margins and portfolio values resulting solely from changes in interest rates. Key modeling assumptions include mortgage prepayment speeds, adequate levels of market liquidity, current market conditions, and portfolio leverage levels. A floor of 0.00% is assumed for all pertinent indices except the Federal Funds Rate, which has no floor. However, it is assumed that borrowing rates cannot decline beyond a floor of 0.15%. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, modeling cannot precisely estimate the impact of higher or lower interest rates. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, other changes in market conditions, changes in management strategies and other factors.

The table below reflects the estimated impact of instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve on net interest margins and the fair value of Capstead’s portfolio of residential mortgage investments and related derivatives at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, subject to the modeling parameters described above.

(a) |
Sensitivity of net interest margins as well as portfolio and related derivative values to changes in interest rates is determined relative to the actual rates at the applicable date. Note that the projected 12-month net interest margin change is predicated on acquisitions of similar assets sufficient to replace runoff. There can be no assurance that suitable investments will be available for purchase at attractive prices, if investments made will behave in the same fashion as assets currently held or if management will choose to replace runoff with such assets. |
|
(b) |
The change in the projected Down 1.00 and 0.50% scenarios at March 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 primarily relates to the change in interest rate environment caused by the 150 basis point declines in the Federal Funds Rate in March 2020. The model assumes a floor on all pertinent market indices of 0.00% except the Federal Funds Rate, which has no floor. However, borrowing rates cannot decline below 0.15%. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon Capstead’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities (including contingencies), revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosures. These estimates are based on available internal and market information and appropriate valuation methodologies believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the expected useful lives and carrying values of assets and liabilities which can materially affect the determination of net income and book value per common share. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following are critical accounting policies in the preparation of Capstead’s consolidated financial statements that involve the use of estimates requiring considerable judgment:
|
• |
Amortization of investment premiums on residential mortgage investments – Investment premiums on residential mortgage investments are recognized in earnings as adjustments to interest income by the interest method over the estimated lives of the related assets. Amortization is affected by actual portfolio runoff (scheduled and unscheduled principal paydowns) and by estimates and judgments related to future levels of mortgage prepayments that may be necessary to achieve the required effective yield over the estimated life of the related investment. |
Mortgage prepayment expectations can change based on how current and projected changes in interest rates impact the economic attractiveness of mortgage refinance opportunities, if available, and
-33-
other factors such as lending industry underwriting practices and capacity constraints, regulatory changes, borrower credit profiles and the health of the economy and housing markets. Management estimates future mortgage prepayments based on these factors and past experiences with specific investments within the portfolio. Should actual prepayment rates differ materially from these estimates, investment premiums would be expensed at a different pace.
|
• |
Fair value and impairment accounting for residential mortgage investments – Nearly all of Capstead’s residential mortgage investments are held in the form of mortgage securities that are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses recorded in Stockholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Fair values fluctuate with current and projected changes in interest rates, prepayment expectations and other factors such as market liquidity conditions and the perceived credit quality of Agency Securities. Judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values, particularly in circumstances of deteriorating credit quality and market liquidity. See NOTE 8 to the consolidated financial statements (included under Item 1 of this report) for discussion of how Capstead values its residential mortgage investments. |
Generally, gains or losses are recognized in earnings only if securities are sold; however, if a decline in fair value of a mortgage security below its amortized cost occurs, the difference between amortized cost and fair value would be recognized in earnings as a component of Other revenue (expense) if the decline was credit-related or it was determined to be more likely than not that the Company will incur a loss via an asset sale.
|
• |
Accounting for derivative instruments – Derivatives are recorded as assets or liabilities and carried at fair value. Fair values fluctuate with current and projected changes in interest rates and other factors such as the Company’s and its counterparties’ nonperformance risk. Judgment is required to develop estimated fair values. |
The accounting for changes in fair value of each derivative held depends on whether it has been designated as an accounting hedge, as well as the type of hedging relationship identified. To qualify as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, at the inception of the hedge relationship the Company must anticipate and document that the hedge relationship will be highly effective and must monitor ongoing effectiveness on at least a quarterly basis. As long as the hedge relationship remains highly effective, changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in fair value of derivatives not held as accounting hedges, or for which the hedge relationship is deemed to no longer be highly effective and as a result hedge accounting is terminated, are recorded in earnings as a component of Other (expense) income.
The Company uses derivatives primarily in the form of interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability in borrowing rates on its secured and unsecured borrowings. For derivatives designated as accounting hedges, fixed interest payments and variable interest receipts are recorded as an adjustment to interest expense on the related designated borrowings. For derivatives not designated as accounting hedges, fixed interest payments and variable interest receipts are recorded as a component of Other (expense) income. For derivatives initially designated as an accounting hedge and subsequently de-designated, any unrealized gain or loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the time of de-designation is amortized as an adjustment to interest expense on the related borrowings over the remaining term of the derivatives. See NOTE 6 to the consolidated financial statements (included under Item 1 of this report) and “Financial Condition – Secured Borrowings” for additional information regarding the Company’s current use of derivatives and its related risk management policies.

STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “will be,” “will likely continue,” “will likely result,” or words or phrases of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following:
|
• |
fluctuations in interest rates and levels of mortgage prepayments; |
|
• |
changes in market conditions as a result of federal corporate and individual income tax reform, federal government fiscal challenges and Federal Reserve monetary policy, including policy regarding its holdings of Agency and U.S. Treasury Securities; |
|
• |
liquidity of secondary markets and credit markets, including the availability of financing at reasonable levels and terms to support investing on a leveraged basis; |
|
• |
the impact of differing levels of leverage employed; |
|
• |
changes in legislation or regulation affecting Agency Securities and similar federal government agencies and related guarantees; |
|
• |
deterioration in credit quality and ratings of existing or future issuances of Agency Securities; |
|
• |
the effectiveness of risk management strategies; |
|
• |
the availability of suitable qualifying investments from both an investment return and regulatory perspective; |
|
• |
the availability of new investment capital; |
|
• |
the ability to maintain real estate investment trust (“REIT”) status; |
|
• |
changes in legislation or regulation affecting exemptions for mortgage REITs from regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940; |
|
• |
negative impacts from the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic including on the U.S. or global economy or on our liquidity, financial condition and earnings; |
|
• |
other changes in legislation or regulation affecting the mortgage and banking industries; and |
|
• |
changes in general economic conditions, increases in costs and other general competitive factors. |
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, several of the risks and uncertainties described above are more likely to occur and/or the potential impact therefrom is harder to estimate. In particular, the impact of COVID-19 on fluctuations in interest rates and levels of mortgage prepayments, liquidity of secondary markets and credit markets, including the availability of financing at reasonable levels and terms to support investing on a leveraged basis, and changes in general economic conditions, are especially unclear at this time. Given this unprecedented uncertainty, actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements included herein. In addition to the above considerations, actual results and liquidity are affected by other risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements included herein. It is not possible to identify all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect future results. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed herein may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, readers of this document are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included herein.
For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results and performance, see “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2020.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS
The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the information included in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2020, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to March 31, 2020.
-36-
PART II. — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in our risk factors during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 from those previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A. of our 2019 Form 10-K, other than set forth below. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our 2019 Form 10-K and below, which could materially affect our business, liquidity, earnings, financial condition and future prospects. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, liquidity, earnings, financial condition and future prospects.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact may adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and earnings.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic is causing significant disruptions and pressure in financial markets. The Federal Reserve has taken a number of actions to support the financial system, including buying agency guaranteed residential and commercial mortgage securities. Additionally, the Fed Funds rate was reduced by 150 basis points. These actions are broadly supportive to the mortgage markets, providing stability and lowering funding costs. However, there is no guarantee that the Federal Reserve attempts to mitigate the economic impact of COVID-19 will be successful in avoiding an adverse impact on our liquidity, financial condition and earnings.
The pandemic may also make financing our operations more difficult or costly. We rely on the use of repurchase agreements and other financings to fund our operations. As a result of the pandemic’s effect on the economy generally, and the mortgage market in particular, our lenders and counterparties may charge higher rates or otherwise make borrowing more costly. Any increases in the cost of financing may have an adverse effect on our earnings. In addition, the significant decrease in economic activity caused by the ongoing pandemic has had and may continue to have a significant adverse effect on the ability of mortgage borrowers to meet their obligations. These difficulties, and the recent declines in interest rates, may also lead to higher rates of refinancing resulting in higher prepayments, which may have an adverse impact on the value of our assets. If the urgent conditions continue or become worse, the negative effects on our results of operations may become more severe.
