Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

Recent Developments

 

During the fourth quarter of 2016, market volatility resulted in higher interest rates and wider mortgage spreads.  Our risk management and hedging strategies are designed to largely mitigate the impact of these factors on our book value, as we focus on delivering stable and attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors over the long term.  Adjusting for the $0.24 common dividend per share we announced on December 15, 2016, we estimate that our book value per diluted common share at December 31, 2016 will be in the range of $9.73 to $9.83, reflecting a modest decrease from our book value per common share of $10.01 at September 30, 2016.  Our actual results may vary following completion of our internal processes to finalize our financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 and remain subject to audit of our financial statements by our independent auditors.
