Ellington Financial LLC Reports Fourth Quarter 2010 Results
OLD GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellington Financial LLC (NYSE: EFC) (the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.
Highlights
- Net increase in shareholders' equity resulting from operations for the fourth quarter was $13.2 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.81.

- Book value per share as of December 31, 2010 was $24.47 after payment of an $0.80 third quarter dividend on December 15, 2010, as compared to pro forma book value per share of $24.50 as of September 30, 2010; this pro forma book value reflects the actual book value of $25.78 as of September 30, 2010 as adjusted for the impact of the October 7, 2010 initial public offering.
- Announced a quarterly dividend for the fourth quarter of 2010 of $1.31 per share payable March 15, 2011, to shareholders of record on March 1, 2011.

Fourth Quarter 2010 Results
Total net increase in shareholders' equity resulting from operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $13.2 million, or $0.81 per diluted share. This compares to $16.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly driven by lower net realized and unrealized gains from our non-Agency portfolio in the fourth quarter as compared to the prior quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2010, net increase in shareholders' equity resulting from operations was $40.6 million.
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. As a result, investments are carried at fair value and all valuation changes are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company also measures its performance through net-asset-value-based total return. Net-asset-value-based total return measures the change in the Company's book value per share, and assumes the reinvestment of dividends at book value per share. For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, net-asset-value-based total return was (1.96)%, which includes the dilutive effect of the Company's initial public offering. If pro forma book value per share were used instead of actual book value per share as of the beginning of the quarter, the Company's net-asset-value-based total return for the quarter would have been 3.16%. Net-asset-value-based total return from inception of the Company (August 17, 2007) through December 31, 2010 was 55.22%, non-annualized. Over the same period the total return for the FTSE NAREIT Mortgage REITs Index(1) was 9.36%.
"We are pleased to report our results for the fourth quarter of 2010, which capped another successful year for Ellington Financial. With the completion of our October initial public offering, the subsequent deployment of capital raised, and the construction of our portfolio, including our MBS and our interest rate and credit hedges, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the continued extraordinary opportunities in the mortgage markets," said Laurence Penn, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.
(1) The FTSE NAREIT Mortgage REITs Index includes firms that invest primarily in mortgages or mortgage-backed securities secured by single-family or commercial property. This index information is included to show the general trend in applicable markets in the period and is not intended to imply that the Company or its strategy is similar to the index in composition or element of risk.

Non-Agency RMBS are generally securitized in senior/subordinated structures, or in excess spread/over-collateralization structures. Excluding TBAs, Agency RMBS consist primarily of whole pool pass through certificates.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company completed its deployment of the capital raised in its October 2010 initial public offering. The Company also took advantage of increasingly favorable financing terms, increasing borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements to $777.8 million at December 31, 2010 from $476.7 million at September 30, 2010.

Average yields are based on interest income and average amortized cost. Average yields, costs of funds, and net interest rate spreads do not take into account the effects of forward-settling transactions (including TBAs) and derivatives, which include interest rate hedges.
The quarter-over-quarter decline in average yields was primarily attributable to the continued turnover of the Company's portfolio. Yield spreads on non-Agency RMBS in particular continued to tighten in the fourth quarter, reflecting firmer asset pricing in this sector.
At December 31, 2010, the weighted average coupon of our settled RMBS portfolios increased to 3.98% from 3.96% at September 30, 2010.
The Company actively invests in the TBA market. TBAs are forward-settling purchases and sales of Agency RMBS where the underlying pools of mortgage loans are "To Be Announced". Given that the Company uses TBAs primarily to hedge risks associated with its long Agency RMBS (and to a lesser extent long non-Agency RMBS), the Company generally carries a net short TBA position. Additionally, the Company does not generally settle its TBA purchases and sales, nor does it accrue interest income on unsettled positions.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company increased its short mortgage-related CDS index contracts, both for hedging purposes and to reflect its view of the relative value of these contracts. The Company's short positions in RMBS and CMBS indices remained concentrated in RMBS vintage years 2006 and 2007.

The Company's borrowed funds are in the form of reverse repurchase agreements ("reverse repos"). The average remaining term on the Company's reverse repos as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 were 52 and 44 days, respectively. The Company's borrowings outstanding under reverse repos were with seven counterparties as of December 31, 2010. The leverage ratio, or debt to equity ratio, does not account for liabilities other than debt financings. Based on the increasingly favorable financing terms available, the Company increased its leverage as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents and repurchase agreements in the aggregate amount of $61.5 million. In addition, at December 31, 2010, the Company held investments in unencumbered Agency whole pools in the amount of $113.5 million.
Other
The Company's base management fee and other operating expenses, but excluding interest expense and incentive fees, represent 3.3% and 4.1%, on an annualized basis, of average shareholders' equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The decline in the Company's operating expense ratio is due primarily to its larger capital base resulting from the completion of its October 2010 initial public offering.
Dividends
During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company paid a dividend for the third quarter of 2010 in the amount of $0.80 per share, bringing aggregate dividends paid for the first three quarters of the 2010 fiscal year to $1.20 per share.
On February 10, 2011, the Company's board of directors declared a fourth quarter 2010 dividend of $1.31 per share, payable on March 15, 2011, to shareholders of record as of March 1, 2011, which will result in aggregate dividends for the full 2010 fiscal year of $2.51 per share.
The Company's dividend policy targets quarterly and special dividends to common and LTIP holders so that approximately 100% of net income (as measured by net increase in shareholders' equity resulting from operations) each calendar year is distributed prior to April of the subsequent calendar year. For the three quarters ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned net income in the amount of $27.3 million while dividends paid related to those first three quarters was $18.5 million. This left undistributed earnings of $8.8 million for the first three quarters of 2010. Net income for the fourth quarter was $13.2 million, which left undistributed earnings of $22.0 million for the full calendar year 2010, or $1.31 per share based on total common shares and LTIPs outstanding as of December 31, 2010, representing the basis for the March 15, 2011 dividend payment.
