Management Commentary

Commenting on the second quarter of 2026 results, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The first quarter of 2026 ended with the outbreak of war in the Middle East as the markets’ primary focus. Prior to the war in the Middle East, risk assets, including Agency RMBS, had performed very well as interest rates were stable and rate volatility was low and declining. The war in the Middle East briefly changed this, but, in early April of 2026, a ceasefire was announced between the parties and risk assets rallied back, including Agency RMBS. For equities, like the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”), the recovery resulted in the Index exceeding pre-war levels substantially. On June 6, 2026, the Index reached an all-time high of just over 7,600 as compared to readings below 7,000 prior to the war in the Middle East. For Agency RMBS, the recovery was far less. The inflationary stimuli from the war in the Middle East in addition to the disruption in the supply of oil and other critical commodities, coupled with an inflation level that has been well above 2% for over five years, led interest rates to increase, market pricing of the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) monetary policy to pivot from potential eases on the horizon to hikes, and the curve to flatten considerably. On May 22, 2026, Kevin Warsh became the new Chairman of the Fed and, at his first press conference, he announced his strong desire to bring inflation back in line as quickly as possible. The current coupon Agency RMBS spread to the 10-year swap, a proxy for levered investing in the sector, had widened to just over 160 basis points in late March of 2026 before rallying to approximately 130 basis points in mid-April of 2026. However, the markets’ reaction to the new Fed Chairman and the inflation outlook led mortgage spreads to widen. They have since settled into a range between 135 basis points and 145 basis points. Interest rate volatility has fallen into a low range since the ceasefire was announced, with the MOVE index readings generally between 65 basis points and 75 basis points since early April of 2026.

“Orchid generated a 6.21% return for the second quarter of 2026, unannualized. Our outstanding shares grew quite modestly, by approximately 1.5%, and our average Agency RMBS portfolio increased by approximately $0.45 billion for the second quarter of 2026. At quarter-end, our portfolio net interest spread was just under 2% and with current leverage levels – our economic leverage ratio was 7.3 to 1 at quarter-end – returns available to us are approximately equal to our current dividend yield expressed as a percentage of book value per share - at approximately 16.5% to 17.0%. In short, the market is still quite attractive for investing in the sector. Given the current macro market backdrop, with rates still range bound, interest rate volatility low and stable, and monetary policy not likely to become too restrictive based on current market pricing, we are very constructive on our sector and potential returns going forward.”

Details of Second Quarter 2026 Results of Operations

The Company reported net income of $89.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2026, compared with a net loss of $33.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2025. Interest income on the portfolio in the second quarter was up approximately $6.3 million from the first quarter of 2026. The yield on our average Agency RMBS decreased slightly from 5.75% in the first quarter of 2026 to 5.74% for the second quarter of 2026, and our repurchase agreement borrowing costs decreased from 3.84% for the first quarter of 2026 to 3.80% for the second quarter of 2026. Book value increased by $0.14 per share in the second quarter of 2026. The increase in book value reflects our net income of $0.44 per share and the dividend distribution of $0.30 per share. The Company recorded net realized and unrealized gains of $36.0 million on Agency RMBS assets and derivative instruments, including net interest income on interest rate swaps.

Prepayments

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Orchid received $863.5 million in scheduled and unscheduled principal repayments and prepayments, which equated to a 3-month constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) of approximately 10.9%. Prepayment rates on the two RMBS sub-portfolios were as follows (in CPR):

Hedging

In connection with its interest rate risk management strategy, the Company economically hedges a portion of the cost of its repurchase agreement funding against a rise in interest rates by entering into derivative financial instrument contracts. The Company has not elected hedging treatment under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in order to align the accounting treatment of its derivative instruments with the treatment of its portfolio assets under the fair value option election. As such, all gains or losses on these instruments are reflected in earnings for all periods presented. At June 30, 2026, such instruments were comprised of U.S. Treasury note (“T-Note”) and Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") futures contracts, interest rate swap agreements, interest rate swaptions and contracts to sell to-be-announced ("TBA") securities.

The table below presents information related to the Company’s T-Note and SOFR futures contracts at June 30, 2026.

Stock Repurchase Program

On July 29, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares of our common stock. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases is determined by the Company in its discretion and is subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended or discontinued at the Company’s discretion without prior notice. On February 8, 2018, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the stock repurchase program for up to an additional 904,564 shares of the Company’s common stock. Coupled with the 156,751 shares remaining from the original 400,000 share authorization, the increased authorization brought the total authorization to 1,061,316 shares, representing 10% of the Company’s then outstanding share count. On December 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available in the stock repurchase program for up to an additional 3,372,399 shares, bringing the remaining authorization under the stock repurchase program to 3,539,861 shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock. On October 12, 2022, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available in the stock repurchase program for up to an additional 4,300,000 shares, bringing the remaining authorization under the stock repurchase program to 6,183,601 shares, representing approximately 18% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock. On June 22, 2026, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available in the stock repurchase program for up to an additional 25,000,000 shares, bringing the remaining authorization under the stock repurchase program to 26,612,580 shares, representing approximately 13.3% of the Company’s currently outstanding shares of common stock. This stock repurchase program has no termination date.

From the inception of the stock repurchase program through June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 7,364,383 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $92.1 million, including commissions and fees, for a weighted average price of $12.51 per share.
