Sreeniwas Prabhu, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, commented, “Third quarter results are demonstrative of the continued dislocation of the fixed income market characterized by historic spread-widening and limited capital market activity coupled with an aggressive Federal Reserve increasing the Fed Funds target rate two times during the quarter. As such, AOMR focused on managing liquidity and protecting its capital structure. Unrealized losses associated with our mark-to-market assets were the key driver of our GAAP net loss and book value decline; however, it is important to note that the credit performance of these assets remains strong, and we believe that they are ultimately expected to pay off at par, offsetting the mark-to-market losses. In order to preserve additional capital and to right-size our dividend yield at the current book value, we have made the decision to reduce the quarterly dividend to $0.32 per share of common stock. Sticking to our core business model, we will remain disciplined while prudently accessing the securitization market to reduce interest rate risk, allowing us to create long term value for our shareholders.”
