The earnings call summary shows strong financial performance with a significant increase in net interest and distributable earnings. Despite a slight decline in book value, the company has strategic plans for growth, including a new partnership and securitization activities. The Q&A section revealed positive sentiment from analysts, with management addressing growth and capital recycling. The strategic partnership announcement and dividend declaration further bolster a positive outlook, suggesting a stock price increase of 2% to 8% over the next two weeks.
Net Interest Income $9.9 million for Q2 2025, marking a 5% improvement compared to Q2 2024. Year-to-date, net interest income increased 11% compared to 2024. The increase was driven by earnings from newly purchased assets and securitization activities.
Operating Expenses $2.9 million for Q2 2025 (excluding noncash stock compensation expenses and securitization costs), representing a 15% decrease compared to Q2 2024. Year-to-date operating expenses were 22% lower than in 2024, attributed to cost management efforts.
GAAP Net Income $767,000 or $0.03 per diluted common share for Q2 2025. The difference between GAAP net income and distributable earnings was due to the realization of unrealized gains on residential loans securitized during the quarter.
Distributable Earnings $2.6 million or $0.11 per diluted common share for Q2 2025. This was primarily driven by securitization activities and earnings from the loan portfolio.
Interest Income $35.1 million for Q2 2025, a 35% improvement compared to Q2 2024. Year-to-date interest income was $68 million, a 33% increase compared to the first 6 months of 2024, driven by higher loan purchases and securitization activities.
Book Value Per Share $10.37 as of June 30, 2025, down 3.1% from $10.70 as of March 31, 2025. The decline was due to unrealized losses on the unsecuritized portfolio and Q2 dividend payment, partially offset by operating earnings.
Loan Purchases $147 million in Q2 2025, with a weighted average coupon of 8.68%, a weighted average combined loan-to-value ratio of 68.4%, and a weighted average FICO score of 757. This reflects a strategic focus on high-quality loans.
90+ Day Delinquency Rates 2.35% for the total portfolio as of the end of Q2 2025, a decrease of 44 basis points from Q1 2025. The improvement was driven by better performance in loans securitized in 2023 and 2024.
