Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. (NYSE: AOMR) (the 'Company,' 'we,' and 'our'), a leading real estate finance company focused on acquiring and investing in first lien non-QM loans and other mortgage-related assets in the U.S. mortgage market, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 and Year-to-Date Highlights Q2 2025 GAAP net income of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share of common stock. Q2 2025 net interest income of $9.9 million demonstrates an increase of 5.0% versus Q2 2024 net interest income of $9.5 million and a slight decrease of 1.5% compared to Q1 2025 net interest income of $10.1 million. Net interest income of $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 11% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. GAAP book value of $10.37 per share of common stock and economic book value of $12.97 per share of common stock as of June 30, 2025, decreases of 3.1% and 3.3%, respectively, from March 31, 2025. Q2 2025 Distributable Earnings of $2.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share of common stock. Declared a dividend of $0.32 per share of common stock, which will be paid on August 29, 2025, to common stockholders of record as of August 22, 2025. Sreeni Prabhu, Chief Executive Officer and President of Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc., said "The second quarter of 2025 was an active one for AOMR, as we completed two securitizations in addition to issuing $42.5 million of senior unsecured notes in May. These transactions are designed to support our strategic goal of earnings growth through accretive capital markets participation and diligent capital deployment. We quickly deployed the capital from this quarter's senior unsecured notes issuance into high-quality, current market coupon non-QM loans and other target assets." He continued, "As such, we expect to resume our quarterly sequential net interest income growth in the next quarter, as demonstrated with 2024's senior unsecured notes issuance. As always, we will remain committed to growing long-term shareholder value through disciplined risk management, securitization execution, and strategic capital deployment.' Portfolio and Investment Activity In April 2025, the Company issued AOMT 2025-4, a $284.3 million scheduled unpaid principal balance securitization backed by a pool of residential mortgage loans. We issued AOMT 2025-4 as the sole participant in the securitization. We used the proceeds to repay outstanding debt of approximately $242.4 million, and the $24.7 million of cash released was used for new loan purchases and operational purposes. In May 2025, we participated in AOMT 2025-6, an approximately $349.7 million scheduled unpaid principal balance securitization backed by a pool of residential mortgage loans, to which we contributed loans with a scheduled principal balance of $87.2 million. We used the proceeds of the securitization to repay outstanding debt of approximately $73.1 million, and retained bonds of $8.1 million. The securitization released $9.2 million of cash, which was used for operational purposes. We participated in this securitization alongside other Angel Oak entities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company purchased $146.6 million of newly-originated, current market coupon non-QM residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit ("HELOC"), with a weighted average coupon of 8.68%, a weighted average combined loan-to-value ratio (or 'CLTV', calculated as the primary or first lien mortgage loan amount plus any additional borrowings secured by the property, such as a HELOC, divided by the estimated value of the property) of 68.4% and a weighted average credit score of 757. As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average coupon of our residential whole loans portfolio was 8.37%, marking a 66 basis point increase compared to June 30, 2024. Capital Markets Activity In May 2025, we closed an underwritten public offering and sale of, and issued, $42.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the '2030 Notes'). The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.750% per annum. After deducting the underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs, we received net proceeds of approximately $40.6 million. We used the majority of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which included the acquisition of non-QM loans and other target assets in a manner consistent with our strategy and investment guidelines. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was a party to three loan financing lines which permit borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $1.1 billion, of which approximately $118.6 million is drawn, leaving capacity of approximately $931.4 million for new loan purchases. Balance Sheet Target assets totaled $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2025. The Company held residential mortgage whole loans with fair value of $200.7 million as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's recourse debt to equity ratio was approximately 1.1x. Dividend On August 5, 2025, the Company declared a dividend of $0.32 per share of common stock, which will be paid on August 29, 2025, to common stockholders of record as of August 22, 2025.

We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our real estate investment trust ('REIT') peers, but has important limitations. We believe Distributable Earnings as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs. Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as annual or annualized Distributable Earnings divided by average total stockholders' equity. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our REIT peers, but has important limitations. Additionally, we believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with additional detail on the Distributable Earnings generated by our invested equity capital. We believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs. Economic book value is a non-GAAP financial measure of our financial position. To calculate our economic book value, the portions of our non-recourse financing obligation held at amortized cost are adjusted to fair value. These adjustments are also reflected in our end of period total stockholders' equity. Management considers economic book value to provide investors with a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our financial position as it reflects the impact of fair value changes for our legally held retained bonds, irrespective of the accounting model applied for GAAP reporting purposes. Economic book value does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for book value per share of common stock or stockholders' equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
