Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries the “Company”) is a real estate finance company focused on acquiring and investing in first lien non-qualified residential mortgage (“non-QM”) loans and other mortgage‑related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. The Company’s strategy is to make credit-sensitive investments primarily in newly-originated first lien non‑QM loans that are primarily made to higher‑quality non‑QM loan borrowers and primarily sourced from the proprietary mortgage lending platform of its affiliate, Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions LLC (together with other non-operational affiliated originators, “Angel Oak Mortgage Lending”), which currently operates primarily through a wholesale channel and has a national origination footprint. The Company may also invest in other residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage‑backed securities (“RMBS”), and other mortgage‑related assets. The Company’s objective is to generate attractive risk‑adjusted returns for its stockholders, through cash distributions and capital appreciation, across interest rate and credit cycles.

The Company is a Maryland corporation incorporated on March 20, 2018. The Company achieves certain of its investment objectives by investing a portion of its assets in its wholly‑owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Angel Oak Mortgage REIT TRS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on March 21, 2018, which invests its assets in Angel Oak Mortgage Fund TRS, a Delaware statutory trust formed on June 15, 2018.

The Company is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AOMR.

The Operating Partnership

On February 5, 2020, the Company formed Angel Oak Mortgage Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), through which substantially all of its assets are held and substantially all of its operations are conducted, either directly or through subsidiaries. The Company holds all of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and indirectly holds the sole general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership through the general partner, which is the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Company’s Manager and REIT status

The Company is externally managed and advised by Falcons I, LLC (the “Manager”), a Securities and Exchange Commission-registered investment adviser and an affiliate of Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Angel Oak Capital”). The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2019.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., fair value changes due to inputs and underlying assumptions as described in Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material.

Reclassifications

Certain comparative period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, certain cash flows previously presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months-ended March 31, 2023, have been reclassified to cash flows from investing activities as Purchases of investments in majority-owned affiliates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). There were no recent ASUs that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements when adopted or had a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s summary of significant accounting policies as set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K remain unchanged.

2. Variable Interest Entities

Since its inception, the Company has utilized variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for the purpose of securitizing whole mortgage loans to obtain long-term non-recourse financing. The Company evaluates its interest in each VIE to determine if it is the primary beneficiary.

VIEs for Which the Company is the Primary Beneficiary

The Company entered into securitization transactions where it was determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The Company was the sole entity to contribute residential whole mortgage loans to these securitization vehicles.

The retained beneficial interest in VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary is the subordinated tranches of the securitization and further interests in additional interest‑only tranches. The following table summarizes the key details of the Company’s loan securitization transactions currently outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


As of:	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
	($ in thousands)
Aggregate unpaid principal balance of residential whole loans sold	$	2,533,008		$	2,578,595
Face amount of Non-recourse securitization obligation issued by the VIE and purchased by third-party investors	1,619,051			1,619,051

Outstanding amount of Non-recourse securitization obligation, at carrying value	1,198,457			1,220,067
Fair value adjustment for the portion of Non-recourse securitization obligation, at fair value option	(51,816)			(50,912)
Outstanding amount of Non-recourse securitization obligation, total	$	1,146,641		$	1,169,154
Weighted average fixed rate for Non-recourse securitization obligation issued	2.91		%	2.91		%

Face amount of Senior Support Certificates received by the Company	$	91,330		$	91,330
Cash received	$	194,746		$	194,746

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not issue and retain bonds on our consolidated balance sheets for any securitization transaction for which the Company was the primary beneficiary.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as a result of the transactions described above, securitized loans with outstanding principal balance of approximately $1.3 billion and $1.3 billion are included in “Residential mortgage loans in securitization trusts” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate carrying value of sold bonds issued by consolidated VIEs was $1.2 billion and $1.2 billion. These sold bonds are disclosed as “Non-recourse securitization obligation, collateralized by residential mortgage loans in securitization trusts” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The holders of the securitized debt have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, but the Company does have the obligation, under certain circumstances, to repurchase assets from the VIE upon the breach of certain representations and warranties with respect to the residential

Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

whole loans sold to the VIE. In the absence of such a breach, the Company has no obligation to provide any other explicit or implicit support to any VIE.

The Company concluded that the entities created to facilitate the loan securitization transactions are VIEs. The Company completed an analysis of whether each VIE created to facilitate the securitization transactions should be consolidated by the Company, based on consideration of its involvement in each VIE and whether its involvement reflected a controlling financial interest that resulted in the Company being deemed the primary beneficiary of each VIE. In determining whether the Company would be considered the primary beneficiary, the following factors were assessed:

• whether the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

• whether the Company has a right to receive benefits or absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

Based on its evaluation of the factors discussed above, including its involvement in the purpose and design of the entity, the Company determined that it was required to consolidate each VIE created to facilitate the loan securitization transactions.

VIEs for Which the Company is Not the Primary Beneficiary

The Company sponsored or participated along with other affiliates and entities managed by Angel Oak Capital in the formation of various entities that were considered to be VIEs. These VIEs were formed to facilitate securitization issuances that were comprised of secured residential whole loans and/or small balance commercial loans contributed to securitization trusts.

These securities were issued as a result of the unconsolidated securitizations where the Company retained bonds from the issuances of securitizations issued by a depositor that the Company does not control. The Company determined that it was not then and is not now the primary beneficiary of any of these securitization entities, and thus has not consolidated the operating results or statements of financial position of any of these entities. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of all VIEs in which the Company has participated since its inception as to whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE would cause the Company’s consolidation conclusion to change, and the Company’s assessment of these VIEs remains unchanged.

The securities received in the securitization transactions for which we are not the primary beneficiary were classified as “available for sale” upon receipt and are included in “RMBS - at fair value” and “Other Assets” on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and details on the accounting treatment and fair value methodology of the securities can be found in Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements. See also Note 4 — Investment Securities, for the fair value of AOMT securities held by the Company, and Note 13 - Other Assets, for investments in majority-owned affiliates (“MOAs”), as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that were retained by the Company as a result of these securitization transactions.

3. Residential Mortgage Loans

Residential mortgage loans are measured at fair value. The following table sets forth the cost, unpaid principal balance, net premium on mortgage loans purchased, fair value, weighted average interest rate, and weighted average remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s residential mortgage loan portfolio as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

5. Notes Payable

The Company has the ability to finance residential and commercial whole loans, utilizing lines of credit (notes payable) from various counterparties, as further described below. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at floating rates depending on the lending counterparty, the collateral pledged, and the rate in effect for each interest period, as the same may change from time to time at the end of each interest period. Some agreements include upfront fees, fees on unused balances, covenants and concentration limits on types of collateral pledged which vary based on the counterparty. Occasionally, a lender may require certain margin collateral to be posted on a warehouse line of credit. There was no margin collateral required as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

6. Due to Broker

The “Due to broker” account on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, in the amounts of $360 million and $392 million relates to the purchase of Whole Pool Agency RMBS at quarter-end in the first and fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Purchases are accounted for on a trade date basis, and, at times, there may be a timing difference between accounting periods for the trade date and the settlement date of a trade. The trade dates of these purchases were prior to the applicable quarter-end dates. These trades settled on April 11, 2024 and January 16, 2024, respectively, at which time these assets were simultaneously sold.

The purchase transactions of these Whole Pool Agency RMBS are excluded from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows until settled as they are noncash transactions.

7. Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Transactions involving securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as collateralized financial transactions, and are recorded at their contracted repurchase amounts. Margin (if required) for securities sold under agreements to repurchase represents margin collateral amounts held to ensure that the Company has sufficient coverage for securities sold under agreements to repurchase in case of adverse price changes. Restricted cash of margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $0.3 million and $0.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(1) A portion of repurchase debt outstanding as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 includes borrowings against retained bonds received from on-balance sheet securitizations (i.e., consolidated VIEs). See Note 4 - Investment Securities.

Although the transactions under repurchase agreements represent committed borrowings until maturity, the lenders retain the right to mark the underlying collateral at fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require the Company to provide additional collateral or fund margin calls.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk and prepayment risk on its whole loan investments. The derivatives in which the Company invests, and the market risk that the economic hedge is intended to mitigate are further discussed below. Derivative instruments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included both To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) securities and interest rate futures contracts. Restricted cash relating to interest rate futures margin collateral in interest rate futures accounts under the Company’s sole control as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. There was no TBA margin collateral required as of either March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The Company uses interest rate futures as economic hedges to hedge a portion of its interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate risk is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors. The Company’s credit risk with respect to economic hedges is the risk of default on its investments that result from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.

The Company may at times hold TBAs in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on certain specified mortgage-backed securities. Amounts or obligations owed by or to the Company are subject to the right of set-off with the TBA counterparty. As part of executing these trades, the Company may enter into agreements with its TBA counterparties that govern the transactions for the TBA purchases or sales made, including margin maintenance, payment and transfer, events of default, settlements, and various other provisions.

Changes in the value of derivatives designed to protect against mortgage-backed securities fair value fluctuations, or economic hedging gains and losses, are reflected in the tables below. All realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts are recognized in earnings, in “net realized gain (loss) on mortgage loans, derivative contracts, RMBS, and CMBS” for realized gains and losses, and “net unrealized gain (loss) on trading securities, mortgage loans, portion of debt at fair value option, and derivative contracts” for unrealized gains and losses.

The Company considers the notional amounts, categorized by primary underlying risk, to be representative of the volume of its derivative activities.

9. Fair Value Measurements

For financial reporting purposes, we follow a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., our own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

As of March 31, 2024, our valuation policy and processes had not changed from those described in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Included in Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K is a detailed description of our other financial instruments measured at fair value and their significant inputs, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 valuation hierarchy.

The fair value of cash, restricted cash, principal and interest receivable, other assets (excluding investments in MOA’s), notes payable, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, amounts due to broker and accrued expenses (including those payable to an affiliate and management fees payable to an affiliate), and interest payable approximate their carrying values due to the nature of these assets and liabilities.

The Company’s “investments in majority-owned affiliates” included in other assets (see Note 13 — Other Assets) and a portion of “non-recourse securitization obligations, collateralized by residential mortgage loans” are held at amortized cost. The fair value of these assets and liabilities is disclosed further below in the section titled “Assets and Liabilities Held at Amortized Cost - Fair Value Disclosure”.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 were comprised of residential loans more than 90 days overdue (including those in foreclosure). Transfers between Levels are deemed to take place on the first day of the reporting period in which the transfer has taken place. These transfers were not material.

We use third‑party valuation firms who utilize proprietary methodologies to value our residential and commercial loans. These firms generally use both market comparable information and discounted cash flow modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant input and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, default rates, or other valuation assumptions. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Assets and Liabilities Held at Amortized Cost — Fair Value Disclosure

Portion of Non-Recourse Securitization Obligations, Collateralized by Residential Mortgage Loans — Held at Amortized Cost

To determine the fair value of the Company’s non-recourse securitization obligations, collateralized by residential mortgage loans, net, held at amortized cost, the Company uses the same method of valuation as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements for both the portion of the obligation measured at fair value and the portion of the obligation held at amortized cost, for which fair value is disclosed below.

As of March 31, 2024, the total amortized cost basis and fair value of our non-recourse securitization obligations was $1.15 billion and $1.07 billion, respectively, a difference of approximately $86.1 million (which includes AOMT 2022-1, AOMT 2022-4, and AOMT 2023-4, which are marked to fair value; and AOMT 2021-7 and AOMT 2021-4, which are carried at amortized cost, as the fair value option was not elected at the time of the creation of these obligations). The difference between the amortized cost and fair value solely attributable to AOMT 2021-4 and 2021-7 is approximately $80.6 million. The difference between the amortized cost basis value and the fair value is derived from the difference between the period-end market pricing of the underlying bonds, as referred to above, and the amortized cost of the obligation. The fair value of the non-recourse securitization debt is not indicative of the amounts at which we could settle this debt.

As of December 31, 2023, the total amortized cost basis and fair value of our non-recourse securitization obligations was $1.24 billion and $1.09 billion, respectively, a difference of approximately $247.8 million (which includes AOMT 2022-1, AOMT 2022-4, and AOMT 2023-4, which are marked to fair value; and AOMT 2021-7 and AOMT 2021-4, which are carried at amortized cost, as the fair value option was not elected at the time of the creation of these obligations). The fair value solely attributable to AOMT 2021-4 and 2021-7 is approximately $81.9 million less than the amortized cost. The difference between the amortized cost basis value and the fair value is derived from the difference between the period-end market pricing of the underlying bonds, as referred to above, and the amortized cost of the obligation. The fair value of the non-recourse securitization debt is not indicative of the amounts at which we could settle this debt.

Investments in Majority-Owned Affiliates

To determine the fair value of the Company’s investments in majority-owned affiliates, which are held at amortized cost and included in “other assets”, the Company uses the prices of the underlying bonds in the investments to determine fair value. The Company utilizes PriceServe, Bank of America’s independent fixed income pricing service, as the primary valuation source for these bonds. PriceServe obtains its price quotes from actual sales or quotes for sale of the same or similar securities and/or provides model‑based valuations that consider inputs derived from recent market activity including default rates, conditional prepayment rates, loss severity, expected yield to maturity, baseline discount margin/yield, recovery assumptions, tranche type, collateral coupon, age and loan size, and other inputs specific to each security. We believe that these quotes are most reflective of the price that would be achieved if the bonds were sold to an independent third party on the date of the consolidated financial statements.

The amortized cost and fair value of this investment as of March 31, 2024 was approximately $18.0 million and $22.8 million, respectively. The amortized cost and fair value of these investments as of December 31, 2023 was approximately $16.2 million and $16.7 million, respectively.

Residential Mortgage Loan Purchases

The Company has residential loan purchase agreements with various affiliates of the Company. The purchase price of the loans is generally equal to the outstanding principal of the mortgage, adjusted by a premium or discount, depending on market conditions. The Company purchases the mortgage loans on a servicing released basis.

Total other assets	$	34,547	$	32,922

Investments in Majority-Owned Affiliates (“MOA”)

In 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, the Company participated in securitization transactions AOMT 2023-1, AOMT 2023-5, AOMT 2023-7, and AOMT 2024-3, which involved MOAs in which the Company received investments of 41.21%, 34.42%, 10.35%, and 10.98%, respectively, in each case proportional to its share of the unpaid principal balance of the residential whole loans contributed to the securitizations. The purpose of the MOAs is to retain and hold risk retention bonds issued by the securitization trust. Each MOA is a limited liability company and is accounted for as an equity method investment and held at amortized cost. The investment will be tested for impairment at least annually utilizing undiscounted cash flows of the underlying risk retention bonds. See Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

Commercial mortgage loans are measured at fair value. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the cost and unpaid principal balance of the assets was $5.6 million and $5.6 million, with a fair value of $5.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 6.24% with a weighted average maturity of 12 years, as of March 31, 2024. There were no commercial mortgage loans more than ninety (90) days past due or in foreclosure as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities

CMBS are held at fair value. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the cost of these assets were $6.3 million and $6.3 million, with a fair value of $6.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively. There was no repurchase debt held against these assets at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

14. Equity and Earnings per Share (“EPS”)

In the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company included participating securities, which are certain equity awards that have non-forfeitable dividend participation rights. Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities under the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations require specific shares to be included that may differ in certain circumstances.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were 186,886 anti-dilutive outstanding restricted stock awards and 123,767 performance-based restricted stock units. To date we have expensed $0.1 million related to the performance-based restricted stock units based on current market conditions. However, these units were not included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no anti-dilutive outstanding restricted stock awards, although the market-based “total stockholder return” conditions for 64,096 performance-based restricted stock units had not been achieved and thus these units were not included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Important Information Regarding Our Disclosure to Investors

We may use our website (www.angeloakreit.com) to communicate with our investors and disclose company information. The information disclosed through our website may be considered material, so investors should monitor our website in addition to press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts. The contents of our website referenced herein are not incorporated by reference into this report.

General

Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. is a 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. Our strategy is to make credit-sensitive investments primarily in newly-originated first lien non-QM loans that are primarily made to higher-quality non-QM loan borrowers and primarily sourced from Angel Oak’s proprietary mortgage lending platform, Angel Oak Mortgage Lending, which currently operates primarily through a wholesale channel and has a national origination footprint. We also may invest in other residential mortgage loans, RMBS, and other mortgage-related assets, which, collectively with non-QM loans, we refer to as our target assets. Further, we also may identify and acquire our target assets through the secondary market when market conditions and asset prices are conducive to making attractive purchases. Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders, through cash distributions and capital appreciation, across interest rate and credit cycles.

We are externally managed and advised by our Manager, Falcons I, LLC, a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and an affiliate of Angel Oak Capital, a leading alternative credit manager with market leadership in mortgage credit that includes asset management, lending and capital markets. Angel Oak Mortgage Lending, an affiliated Angel Oak mortgage origination platform, is a market leader in non‑QM loan production.

Through our relationship with our Manager, we benefit from Angel Oak’s vertically integrated platform and in‑house expertise, providing us with the resources that we believe are necessary to generate attractive risk‑adjusted returns for our stockholders. Angel Oak Mortgage Lending provides us with proprietary access to non‑QM loans, as well as transparency over the underwriting process and the ability to acquire loans with our desired credit and return profile. We believe our ability to identify and acquire target assets through the secondary market is bolstered by Angel Oak’s experience in the mortgage industry and expertise in structured credit investments. In addition, we believe we have significant competitive advantages due to Angel Oak’s analytical investment tools, extensive relationships in the financial community, financing and capital structuring skills, investment surveillance capabilities, and operational expertise.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2019. Commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2019, we believe that we have been organized and operated, and we intend to continue to operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Our qualification as a REIT, and maintenance of such qualification, depends on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various complex requirements under the Code relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of our assets, our distribution levels, and the concentration of ownership of our stock. We also intend to operate our business in a manner that will allow us to maintain our exclusion from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Our common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 17, 2021.

We expect to derive our returns primarily from the difference between the interest we earn on loans we invest in and our cost of capital, as well as the returns from bonds, including risk retention securities, that are retained after securitizing the underlying loan collateral.

Trends and Recent Developments

Overall macroeconomic environment and its effect on us

2024 kicked off with optimism around federal funds rate cuts over the course of the year, with variability in analyst projections of the number and size of rate reductions. However, in the first quarter, stubborn employment and inflation readings have delayed market expectations for when the Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”) will begin to cut rates. In its May 2024 meeting, the Fed indicated that it still expects to cut rates in 2024, but the timing has been pushed to later in the year versus the initial analyst consensus.

30 year fixed residential conforming mortgage rates increased over the course of the first quarter, ending just below 7% before increasing back above 7% after the end of the quarter. Additionally, a new set of rules announced in conjunction with a landmark $418 million legal settlement by the National Association of Realtors will prohibit agent’s compensation from being included on multiple listing services (MLS), end a requirement that brokers subscribe to MLS, and introduce a requirement that MLS participants enter into written agreements with their buyers. Taken together, the effect is expected to drive down broker commissions and increase home purchases when implemented in July 2024.

The two-year and five-year Treasury yields each experienced a modest increase of approximately 37 basis points during the first quarter, which, combined with relatively muted volatility, had a limited impact on the valuation of our portfolio. Net of new loan purchases and securitizations, we observed an increase of approximately 124 basis points in the weighted average price of our residential whole loans portfolio during the first quarter. Additionally, we have increased the weighted average coupon of our residential whole loans portfolio by 33 basis points since the end of 2023 to 7.11% as of the end of the first quarter of 2024. The AOMT 2024-4 securitization executed subsequent to March 31, 2024 reduced the unpaid principal balance of our residential whole loans portfolio by over 75%. Consistent with our loan acquisition and securitization process, we are refilling the balance of our residential whole loans portfolio with high-quality, current market coupon loans that we expect to contribute to future securitization transactions.

Our investment performance

Net Interest Margin (“NIM”). Despite holding fewer target assets in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023, an increase in the yield of our target assets generated greater interest income than the first quarter of 2023. Borrowings on our whole loan portfolio decreased as well, reducing our overall interest expense, despite continued high variable interest rates in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Net realized loss. Our net realized loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a realized loss on the sale of whole loans contributed into the AOMT 2024-3 securitization in which we participated. As this securitization did not result in consolidation of the AOMT 2024-3 VIE entity, we recognized a loss on the sale of these loans. This was partially offset by realized gains on the economic hedges of our interest rate futures and To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) securities.

Net unrealized gain. Our net unrealized gain in the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the valuation of our residential whole loans and loans in securitization trust portfolios, as well as the reversal of the unrealized loss (and thereby the recognition of net realized loss discussed above) on the sale of residential mortgage loans into the AOMT 2024-3 securitization.

Whole loans and securitization activity

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we purchased $43.2 million of newly-originated, current market coupon non-QM residential mortgage loans, with a weighted average coupon of 8.14%, weighted average loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”)of 68.7% and weighted average credit score of 747.

In March 2024, we participated in AOMT 2024-3, an approximately $439.6 million scheduled principal balance securitization backed by a pool of residential mortgage loans, to which we contributed loans with a scheduled unpaid principal balance of approximately $48.7 million. We participated in this securitization alongside other Angel Oak entities, and may strategically enter into similar securitizations in the future.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we issued AOMT 2024-4, an approximately $300 million scheduled principal balance securitization backed by a pool of residential mortgage loans. We issued AOMT 2024-4 as the sole participant in the securitization. As the primary

beneficiary we have consolidated the AOMT 2024-4 securitization, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the applicable balance sheet date.

Whole loan financing facilities activity

We continuously evaluate our lender base and may enter into new agreements and / or exit agreements as we deem prudent, in accordance with our core financial strategy of purchasing whole loans and financing them until securitized. See Liquidity and Capital Resources, for a full description of our financing arrangements. Our total borrowing capacity was $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2024 Highlights of whole loan financing facilities activity over the first quarter of 2024 are as follows:

•During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we maintained the same whole loan financing facility lender base as of December 31, 2023.

•During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we (i) renewed our loan financing facility with Multinational Bank 1 in accordance with the mechanism for six-month renewal periods simultaneously decreasing the interest rate pricing margin and (ii) replaced our existing $250 million loan financing facility with Global Investment Bank 2 with a new $250 million loan financing facility with Global Investment Bank 2.

Key Financial Metrics

As a real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are Distributable Earnings, Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity, Book Value per Share of Common Stock, and Economic Book Value per Share of Common Stock.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a non‑GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), excluding (1) unrealized gains and losses on our aggregate portfolio, (2) impairment losses, (3) extinguishment of debt, (4) non-cash equity compensation expense, (5) the incentive fee earned by our Manager, (6) realized gains or losses on swap terminations and (7) certain other nonrecurring gains or losses. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our 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. As a REIT, we are generally required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income and to pay U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rate to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and our belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons that stockholders invest in our common stock, generally we intend to attempt to pay dividends to our stockholders in an amount equal to our REIT taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our Board of Directors. Distributable Earnings is one of a number of factors considered by our Board of Directors in declaring dividends and, while not a direct measure of REIT taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of our dividends. 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.

We also use Distributable Earnings to determine the incentive fee, if any, payable to our Manager pursuant to the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) that we and the Operating Partnership entered into with our Manager upon the completion of our IPO on June 21, 2021. For information on the fees that are payable to our Manager under the Management Agreement, see “Note 10 – Related Party Transactions” in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Distributable Earnings were approximately a gain of $2.8 million and a loss of $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The primary drivers of this quarter’s Distributable Earnings as compared to GAAP net income are the adjustments to remove unrealized gains associated with our residential loans and residential loans in securitization trusts and non-recourse securitization obligation portfolios.

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Distributable Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended

Net unrealized (gains) losses on residential loans	(5,071)		(39,437)
Net unrealized (gains) losses on commercial loans	(22)		(11)


Non-cash equity compensation expense	630		541



Distributable Earnings	$	2,820	$	(9,119)

Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity

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. Set forth below is our computation of Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024			March 31, 2023
	($ in thousands)
Annualized Distributable Earnings	$	11,280		$	(36,476)
Average total stockholders’ equity	259,715			240,684
Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity	4.3		%	(15.2)		%

Book Value per Share of Common Stock

The following table sets forth the calculation of our book value per share of common stock as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
	(in thousands except for share and per share data)
Total stockholders’ equity	$	263,324	$	256,106


Number of shares of common stock outstanding at period end	24,965,274		24,965,274
Book value per share of common stock	$	10.55	$	10.26

Economic Book Value per Share of Common Stock

“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 the table below 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.

Net interest income	$	8,579				$	6,799

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $8.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively. Interest income increased in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due higher interest income generated from a larger asset balance of residential mortgage loans in securitization trusts. Meanwhile, interest expense was relatively flat, with less expense associated with notes payable offset by increased expense associated with non-recourse securitization obligation, collateralized by residential mortgage loans as compared to the same period in 2023.

Total Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)

The components of total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are set forth as follows:

Total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net	$	9,262	$	(653)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, total realized and unrealized gains and (losses), net resulted in a net gain of $9.3 million and losses of $0.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, gains on securitization, net of unrealized gain (loss) on non-recourse securitization obligation, interest rate futures, and residential mortgage loans drove the overall gain to our portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased optimism and stability in interest rate markets drove gains in the valuation of our residential mortgage loans portfolio which were offset by losses associated with TBAs and interest rate futures.

Expenses

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our operating expenses were $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Our operating expenses decreased compared to the comparative period due to cost savings actions such as in-sourcing of key accounting functions, vendor contract negotiations, and a decrease in servicing fees associated with servicing our whole loans.

Operating Expenses Incurred with Affiliate

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our operating expenses incurred with affiliate were $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These expenses, which are substantially comprised of payroll reimbursements to our Manager, were relatively flat in the first three months of 2024 compared to the first three months of 2023.

Due Diligence and Transaction Costs

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our due diligence and transaction costs were $49.5 thousand and $0.0 thousand, respectively. Our due diligence and transaction expenses increased slightly over the comparative period as we did not purchase any whole loans during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Stock Compensation

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our stock compensation expense was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Our stock compensation expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to an increase in the estimated impact for outstanding performance-based restricted stock unit awards.

Securitization Costs

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $0.2 million and $0.9 million of securitization costs, respectively. The expense incurred in both periods was a proportional allocation of expenses in conjunction with our share of the loans contributed to the AOMT 2024-3 securitization in the first quarter of 2024 and AOMT 2023-1 securitization in the first quarter of 2023, respectively.

Management Fee Incurred with Affiliate

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our management fee incurred with affiliate was $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The decrease is due to the decrease in our average Equity as defined in the Management Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The calculation of Equity for the purposes of the Management Agreement includes the addition of Distributable Earnings, which is the primary departure from the calculation of equity in accordance with GAAP, which has caused Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) to decrease.

Our Portfolio

As of March 31, 2024, our portfolio consisted of approximately $2.0 billion of residential mortgage loans, RMBS, and other target assets. Certain of these portfolio assets are located in states such as Florida and California where natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes may occasionally occur. We require all of our collateral to be adequately insured. The graphs in the subsequent detail of residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, and residential mortgage loans underlying RMBS issuances show the percentage of residential mortgage loans held in each state where there is a concentration of loans.

RMBS

We have participated in numerous securitization transactions pursuant to which we contributed to a securitization trust under the purview of AOMT I, LLC, non‑QM loans that we had accumulated and held on our balance sheet. These loans were purchased from affiliated and unaffiliated entities. In return, we received bonds from these securitization trusts, and cash. At times, we were allocated certain risk retention securities as part of these transactions. Risk retention securities represent at least 5% of a horizontal or vertical slice of the bonds issued as part of the transaction.

Certain information regarding the mortgage loans underlying our portfolio of RMBS issued in such securitization transactions is set forth below as of March 31, 2024, unless otherwise stated:

CMBS

In November 2020, we participated in a securitization transaction of a pool of small balance commercial mortgage loans consisting of mortgage loans secured by commercial properties pursuant to which we contributed to AOMT 2020-SBC1 commercial mortgage loans with a carrying value of approximately $31.2 million that we had accumulated and held on our balance sheet, and we received bonds from AOMT 2020-SBC1 with a fair value of approximately $8.9 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund our investments and operating costs, make distributions to our stockholders, and satisfy other general business needs. Our financing sources currently include payments of principal and interest we receive on our investment portfolio, unused borrowing capacity under our in‑place loan financing lines and repurchase facilities, and securitizations of our whole loans. Our financing sources historically have included the foregoing, as well as capital contributions from our investors prior to our IPO, and the proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement (which capital has all been deployed). Going forward, we may also utilize other types of borrowings, including bank credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit, among others. We may also seek to raise additional capital through public or private offerings of equity, equity-related, or debt securities, depending upon market conditions. The use of any particular source of capital and funds will depend on market conditions, availability of these sources, and the investment opportunities available to us.

We have used and expect to continue to use loan financing lines to finance the acquisition and accumulation of mortgage loans or other mortgage‑related assets pending their eventual securitization. Upon accumulating an appropriate amount of assets, we have financed and expect to continue to finance a substantial portion of our mortgage loans utilizing fixed-rate term securitization funding that provides long‑term financing for our mortgage loans and locks in our cost of funding, regardless of future interest rate movements.

Securitizations may either take the form of the issuance of securitized bonds or the sale of “real estate mortgage investment conduit” securities backed by mortgage loans or other assets, with the securitization proceeds being used in part to repay pre-existing loan financing lines and repurchase facilities. We have sponsored and participated in securitization transactions with other entities that are managed by Angel Oak, and may continue to do so in the future, along with sponsoring sole securitization transactions.

We believe these identified sources of financing will be adequate for purposes of meeting our short‑term (within one year) and our longer‑term liquidity needs. We cannot predict with certainty the specific transactions we will undertake to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due. We will adjust our plans as appropriate in response to changes in our expectations and any potential changes in market conditions.

Description of Existing Financing Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024, we were a party to three warehouse loan financing lines, which permitted borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $1.1 billion. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we renewed our loan financing facility with Multinational Bank 1 in accordance with the mechanism for six-month renewal periods simultaneously decreasing the interest rate pricing margin and replaced our existing $250 million loan financing facility with Global Investment Bank 2 with a new $250 million loan financing facility with Global Investment Bank 2 Borrowings under warehouse loan financing lines (in general, each a “loan financing facility”) may be used to purchase whole loans for securitization or loans purchased for long‑term investment purposes.

Our financing facilities are generally subject to limits on borrowings related to specific asset pools (“advance rates”) and other restrictive covenants, as is usual and customary. As of March 31, 2024, the advance rates (when required) of our three active lenders ranged from 65% to 92%, depending on the asset type and loan delinquency status. Our most restrictive covenants (when covenants are required by any of our three active lenders) included (1) our minimum tangible net worth must not (i) decline 20% or more in the previous 30 days, 25% or more in the previous 90 days, or 35% or more in the previous year, or (ii) fall below $200.0 million of tangible net worth as of September 30, 2022 plus 50% of any capital contribution made or raised after September 30, 2022; (2) our minimum liquidity must not fall below the greatest of (i) the product of 5% and the aggregate repurchase price for a specific loan financing facility as of such date of determination, (ii) $10.0 million and (iii) any other amount of liquidity that we have covenanted to maintain in any other note, indenture, loan agreement, guaranty, swap agreement or any other contract, agreement or transaction (including, without limitation, any repurchase agreement, loan and security agreement, or similar credit facility or agreement for borrowed funds); and (3) the maximum ratio of our and our subsidiaries’ total indebtedness to tangible net worth must not be greater than 5:1. Our minimum liquidity requirement as of March 31, 2024 was $10.0 million.

A description of each loan financing facility in place during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 is set forth as follows:

Multinational Bank 1 Loan Financing Facility. On April 13, 2022, we and two of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a multinational bank (“Multinational Bank 1”). Our subsidiaries are each considered a “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time and pursuant to the agreement, either of our subsidiaries may sell to Multinational Bank 1, and later repurchase, up to $600.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans.

Pursuant to the terms of the master repurchase agreement, the agreement may be renewed every three months for a maximum six-month term. As of March 31, 2024, the termination date of the master repurchase agreement was September 25, 2024.

The amount expected to be paid by Multinational Bank 1 for each eligible mortgage loan is based on an advance rate as a percentage of either the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan or the market value of the mortgage loan, whichever is less. Pursuant to the agreement, Multinational Bank 1 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loans in its sole commercially reasonable discretion. The loan financing line is marked‑to‑market. Additionally, Multinational Bank 1 is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. The interest rate on any outstanding balance under the master repurchase agreement that the applicable subsidiary is required to pay Multinational Bank 1 is generally in line with other similar agreements that the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries has entered into, where the interest rate is equal to the sum of (1) a pricing spread, as of March 25, 2024, 2.00% and (2) the average SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined in the master repurchase agreement) beginning on April 11, 2022 and ending on the day that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date the applicable loan is repurchased by the applicable subsidiary.

The obligations of the subsidiaries under the master repurchase agreement are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty executed contemporaneously with the master repurchase agreement. In addition, and similar to other repurchase agreements that the Company has entered into, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including those relating to (1) maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth; (2) a maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth; and (3) minimum liquidity.

The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Multinational Bank 1 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Multinational Bank 1 may require us or our subsidiaries to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Multinational Bank 1’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.

We and our subsidiaries are also required to pay certain customary fees to Multinational Bank 1 and to reimburse Multinational Bank 1 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with its structuring, management, and ongoing administration of the master repurchase agreement.

Global Investment Bank 2 Loan Financing Facility. On March 28, 2024, two of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a global investment bank (“Global Investment Bank 2”), replacing the existing master repurchase agreement with Global Investment Bank 2 entered into on February 13, 2020. Our two subsidiaries are each considered a “Seller” under this agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, on of our subsidiaries may sell to Global Investment Bank 2, and later repurchase, up to $250.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement is set to terminate on March 27, 2026, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

The principal amount paid by Global Investment Bank 2 for each mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the market value, cost‑basis value, or unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loan (depending on the type of loan and certain other factors and subject to certain other adjustments). Pursuant to the agreement, Global Investment Bank 2 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole good faith discretion. Additionally, Global Investment Bank 2 is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. Upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, our subsidiaries are required to repay Global Investment Bank 2 the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate based on the sum of (1) the greater of (A) the greater of (i) 0.00% and (ii) Term SOFR (which is defined as the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for a corresponding tenor of one month) and (B) a pricing spread generally ranging from 2.10% to 3.35%.

he obligations of the subsidiaries under the master repurchase agreement are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty executed contemporaneously with the master repurchase agreement. In addition, and similar to other repurchase agreements that the Company has entered into, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including those relating to (1) maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth; (2) a maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth; and (3) minimum liquidity.

The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Global Investment Bank 2 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value or cost‑basis value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Global Investment Bank 2 may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Global Investment Bank 2’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.

We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Global Investment Bank 2 and to reimburse Global Investment Bank 2 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with its structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.

Global Investment Bank 3 Loan Financing Facility. On October 24, 2018, two of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a global investment bank (“Global Investment Bank 3”) for which we serve as guarantor of our subsidiaries’ obligations . Our subsidiaries, are each considered a “Seller” under this agreement. Pursuant to the initial agreement, our subsidiaries could sell to Global Investment Bank 3, and later repurchase, up to $200.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans, although Global Investment Bank 3 was under no obligation to purchase the loans our subsidiaries offered to sell to them.

On January 1, 2022, the facility was amended to transition the reference rate from a LIBOR-based index to Compound SOFR. Compound SOFR is determined on a one-month basis and is defined as a daily rate as determined by Global Investment Bank 3 to be the “USD-SOFR-Compound” rate as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. definitions.

On November 7, 2023, the facility’s termination date was extended to November 7, 2024. In addition, the base interest rate spread was reduced to 1.80% plus a 0.20% index spread adjustment. The advance rate for performing non-seasoned loans was increased to 85%.

The loan financing line is marked-to-market at fair value, where Global Investment Bank 3 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole and good faith discretion and in a commercially reasonable manner and is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offered to sell to them. Further, the principal amount paid by Global Investment Bank 3 for each eligible mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan or the market value of the mortgage loan, whichever is less.

The Agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Global Investment Bank 3 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under those provisions, Global Investment Bank 3 could require us or our subsidiaries to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

The agreement requires us to maintain various financial and other customary covenants. The agreement also sets forth events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Global Investment Bank 3’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.

We and our subsidiaries are also required to pay certain customary fees to Global Investment Bank 3 and to reimburse Global Investment Bank 3 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with its structuring, management, and ongoing administration of the agreement.

Institutional Investors A and B Static Loan Pool Financing. On October 4, 2022, the Company and a subsidiary entered into two separate master repurchase facilities with two affiliates of an institutional investor (“Institutional Investors A and B”) regarding a specific pool of whole loans with financing of approximately $168.7 million on approximately $239.3 million of unpaid principal balance. The Company repaid these financing facilities in full on January 4, 2023, at which time the facilities were terminated pursuant to their terms.

Regional Bank 1 Loan Financing Facility. On December 21, 2018, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a regional bank (“Regional Bank 1”). This financing facility was substantially unused, and expired by its terms on March 16, 2023.

The following table sets forth the details of our financing lines as of each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Although available financing is uncommitted, the Company’s unused borrowing capacity is available if it has eligible collateral to pledge and meets other borrowing conditions as set forth in the applicable agreements.March 31, 2024, this financing facility had no unused borrowing capacity as the outstanding borrowings were based on static pools of mortgage loans.

Short‑Term Repurchase Facilities. In addition to our existing loan financing lines, we employ short‑term repurchase facilities to borrow against U.S. Treasury securities, securities issued by AOMT, Angel Oak’s securitization platform, and other securities we may acquire in accordance with our investment guidelines. The following table sets forth certain characteristics of our short-term repurchase facilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

We utilize short‑term repurchase facilities on our RMBS portfolio and to finance assets for REIT asset test purposes. Over time, the need to purchase securities for REIT asset test purposes will be reduced as we obtain and participate in additional securitizations and acquire assets directly for investment purposes. We will continue to use repurchase facilities on our RMBS portfolio to add additional leverage which increases the yield on those assets. Our use of repurchase facilities is generally highest at the end of any particular quarter, as shown in the table above, where the quarter-end balance and the highest month-end balance in each quarter are generally equivalent.

Securitization Transactions

In March 2024, we and other affiliated entities participated in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, approximately 60% of which were mortgage loans originated by our affiliated mortgage origination companies, secured primarily by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2024-3 issued approximately $439.6 million in face value of bonds. Our proportionate share of 10.98% of the retained bonds and investments in majority owned affiliates (“MOAs”) was approximately $4.0 million, including a retained discount on issuance of approximately $0.9 million. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $35.9 million and retained cash of $4.6 million, which was used for operational purposes.

We derecognized the mortgage loans sold in AOMT 2024-3 and recorded an investment in majority-owned affiliates located within “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024.

In December 2023, we and other affiliated entities participated in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, approximately 60% of which were mortgage loans originated by our affiliated mortgage origination companies, secured primarily by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties.

In the transaction, AOMT 2023-5 issued approximately $260.6 million in face value of bonds. Our proportionate share of 34.42% of the retained bonds and investments in MOAs was approximately $8.7 million, including a retained discount on issuance of approximately $2.7 million. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $63.4 million and retained cash of $10.7 million, which was used for operational purposes.

We derecognized the mortgage loans sold in AOMT 2023-5 and recorded an investment in majority-owned affiliates located within “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024.

In June 2023, we were the sole participant in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, approximately 48% of which were mortgage loans originated by third parties and the remainder of which were originated by our affiliated mortgage origination companies, secured exclusively by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2023-4 issued approximately $259.4 million in face value of bonds. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $197.3 million and retained cash of $35.7 million, which was used for new loan purchases and operational purposes.

We are the sole member of the Depositor and also own and hold the call rights on the XS tranche of bonds, which is the “controlling class” of the bonds. We have consolidated the AOMT 2023-4 securitization on our consolidated balance sheet, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024.

In January 2023, we and other affiliated entities participated in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, approximately 59% of which were mortgage loans originated by our affiliated mortgage origination companies, secured primarily by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2023-1 issued approximately $552.9 million in face value of bonds. Our proportionate share of 41.21% of the retained bonds and investments in MOAs was approximately $21.8 million, including a retained discount on issuance of approximately $6.8 million. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $190.1 million and retained cash of $15.9 million, which was used for operational purposes.

We derecognized the mortgage loans sold in this transaction and recorded an investment in majority-owned affiliate located within “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024.

We finance our assets with what we believe to be a prudent amount of leverage, which will vary from time to time based upon the particular characteristics of our portfolio, availability of financing, and market conditions.

Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT and maintaining our exclusion from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we expect to utilize various derivative instruments and other hedging instruments to mitigate interest rate risk, credit risk and other risks. For example, we may enter into hedging transactions with respect to interest rate exposure on one or more of our assets or liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, and options.

Cash Availability

Cash and cash equivalents

Our cash balance as of March 31, 2024 was sufficient to meet our liquidity covenants under our financing facilities. We believe that we maintain sufficient cash to fund margin calls on our mark to market financing facilities or our economic hedge agreements, should such margin calls occur. Due to the conversion of our financing facility with Global Investment Bank 3 to a static pool financing facility, which limited our mark-to-market exposure, some of our cash was restricted, as further described below, and held in an economic interest rate hedging account for the benefit of Global Investment Bank 3, for its benefit and under its control.

We may also participate in upcoming securitizations either solely or with other Angel Oak entities. We also have the ability to leverage currently unleveraged securities or whole loan assets, if we deem those actions advisable.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of approximately $2.8 million as of March 31, 2024 was comprised of: $0.1 million was held for the benefit of Global Investment Bank 3, the majority of which balance is in an economic interest rate hedging account under the control of Global Investment Bank 3, and may be drawn by Global Investment Bank 3 at its discretion, $2.4 million in interest rate futures margin collateral for the interest rate futures under our sole control; and margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $0.3 million.

Restricted cash of approximately $2.9 million as of December 31, 2023 was comprised of: $2.5 million in interest rate futures margin collateral; and margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $0.3 million. Our counterparties did not require any margin collateral for TBAs as of December 31, 2023.

Cash Flows


		Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
	(in thousands)
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities		$	40,222	$	276,606
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities		$	(4,819)	$	(421,010)
Cash flows provided by financing activities		$	(37,679)	$	162,160
Net increase in cash and restricted cash		$	(2,276)	$	17,756

The cash provided by operating activities of $40.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the cash provided of $276.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to the volume of residential mortgage loans sold into affiliate’s securitization trust during the first three months of 2023, as compared to 2024.

The use of investing cash flows of $(4.8) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $(421.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily due to the timing of purchases and maturities of U.S. Treasury securities in the comparative period of 2023.

Financing cash flows used of $(37.7) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $162.2 million provided for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily due to the activity within net borrowings under repurchase agreements and notes payable for the comparative periods.

Cash Flows - Residential and Commercial Loan Classification

Residential loan activity is recognized in the statement of cash flows as an operating activity, as our residential mortgage loans are generally held for a short period of time with the intent to securitize these loans. Commercial mortgage loan activity is recognized in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity, as our commercial mortgage loan portfolio is generally deemed to be held for investing purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates is included in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2023. Management discusses the ongoing development and selection of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

We expect quarter-to-quarter GAAP earnings volatility from our business activities. This volatility can occur for a variety of reasons, particularly changes in the fair values of consolidated assets and liabilities. In addition, the amount or timing of our reported earnings may be impacted by technical accounting issues and estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and any expected impact on the Company.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries the “Company”) is a real estate finance company focused on acquiring and investing in first lien non-qualified residential mortgage (“non-QM”) loans and other mortgage‑related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. The Company’s strategy is to make credit-sensitive investments primarily in newly-originated first lien non‑QM loans that are primarily made to higher‑quality non‑QM loan borrowers and primarily sourced from the proprietary mortgage lending platform of its affiliate, Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions LLC (together with other non-operational affiliated originators, “Angel Oak Mortgage Lending”), which currently operates primarily through a wholesale channel and has a national origination footprint. The Company may also invest in other residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage‑backed securities (“RMBS”), and other mortgage‑related assets. The Company’s objective is to generate attractive risk‑adjusted returns for its stockholders, through cash distributions and capital appreciation, across interest rate and credit cycles. The Company is a Maryland corporation incorporated on March 20, 2018. The Company achieves certain of its investment objectives by investing a portion of its assets in its wholly‑owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Angel Oak Mortgage REIT TRS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on March 21, 2018, which invests its assets in Angel Oak Mortgage Fund TRS, a Delaware statutory trust formed on June 15, 2018. The Company is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AOMR. The Operating Partnership On February 5, 2020, the Company formed Angel Oak Mortgage Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), through which substantially all of its assets are held and substantially all of its operations are conducted, either directly or through subsidiaries. The Company holds all of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and indirectly holds the sole general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership through the general partner, which is the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company’s Manager and REIT status The Company is externally managed and advised by Falcons I, LLC (the “Manager”), a Securities and Exchange Commission-registered investment adviser and an affiliate of Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Angel Oak Capital”). The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2019. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., fair value changes due to inputs and underlying assumptions as described in Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material. Reclassifications Certain comparative period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, certain cash flows previously presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months-ended March 31, 2023, have been reclassified to cash flows from investing activities as Purchases of investments in majority-owned affiliates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). There were no recent ASUs that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements when adopted or had a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s summary of significant accounting policies as set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K remain unchanged.

Basis of Presentation	The Operating Partnership On February 5, 2020, the Company formed Angel Oak Mortgage Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), through which substantially all of its assets are held and substantially all of its operations are conducted, either directly or through subsidiaries. The Company holds all of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and indirectly holds the sole general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership through the general partner, which is the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company’s Manager and REIT status The Company is externally managed and advised by Falcons I, LLC (the “Manager”), a Securities and Exchange Commission-registered investment adviser and an affiliate of Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Angel Oak Capital”). The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2019.
Interim Financial Statements	Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., fair value changes due to inputs and underlying assumptions as described in Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain comparative period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, certain cash flows previously presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months-ended March 31, 2023, have been reclassified to cash flows from investing activities as Purchases of investments in majority-owned affiliates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). There were no recent ASUs that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements when adopted or had a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s summary of significant accounting policies as set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K remain unchanged.
