MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"I am very pleased to report that we delivered an economic return on book value of 4.8% during the first quarter, driven by core earnings plus drop income of $0.34 per share, an increase of 9.7% from the fourth quarter of 2017 and an increase in our book value of 2.0%," said Jennifer Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "The significant repositioning of the asset composition of our portfolio that occurred over the course of 2017 and has continued in the first quarter contributed to our strong results, particularly as the fixed income markets have experienced increased volatility. Our first quarter dividend remained stable at $0.31 per share for the eighth quarter in a row, which reflects our commitment to our long-term goal of generating attractive total returns for our shareholders, while also providing for greater book value stability."
Anup Agarwal, Chief Investment Officer of the Company, commented, "Our solid performance for the quarter is a continuation of our portfolio repositioning into credit sensitive investments, as well as taking steps to improve the portfolio's interest rate risk profile by both lowering the duration and decreasing the convexity risk. During the quarter, we acquired $486 million of target assets, including $404 million of credit sensitive investments. These purchases occurred across a number of sub-sectors of the mortgage market, supporting our goal of holding a diversified portfolio of securities that offer what we believe to be the best risk-adjusted returns over our investment horizon."
"Based on current market conditions and our outlook, we will continue to proactively manage our portfolio by monitoring the relative value of opportunities across the broad mortgage universe, in an effort to achieve an optimal risk-adjusted total economic return. We believe this approach is the best way to pursue our objectives of strong core earnings and an attractive dividend and positions us well to continue to create value for our shareholders," Mr. Agarwal concluded.

Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes
At March 31, 2018, the Company had $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% convertible senior unsecured notes. The notes mature on October 1, 2022, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the holders pursuant to their terms, and are not redeemable by the Company except during the final three months prior to maturity. The initial conversion rate was 83.1947 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes and represented a conversion price of $12.02 per share of common stock. The Company believes that this financing is an attractive source of longer term capital, which was more cost efficient than issuing straight equity.
Hedging Activity
At March 31, 2018, the Company had $1.6 billion notional value of pay-fixed interest rate swaps, excluding a forward starting swap of $1.6 billion (approximately 1.0 months forward), which have variable maturities between June 14, 2019 and April 27, 2037.
