Management Commentary
Commenting on the second quarter results, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “A few key developments drove macro-economic conditions during the second quarter of 2023. In turn, these developments drove performance in the Agency RMBS markets. The economic backdrop consisted of continued strong readings on core services inflation and a tight labor market. During May, an impasse developed between the Republican controlled House of Representatives and the Biden administration over the debt ceiling limit. As the deadline to resolve the impasse approached, risk markets suffered and the Agency RMBS market was not spared. Spread levels on the current-coupon 30-year RMBS benchmark reached the widest level of the cycle – at least to date. Once the impasse was resolved, the Agency RMBS market recovered and posted strong returns for the month of June. With the crisis averted, the market’s attention turned to the incoming economic data. Central bankers across the globe were all fighting the same battle, yet none seem to have been able to reign in inflation, including the Federal Reserve (the "Fed"). The Fed raised rates 25 basis points on May 3, 2023 and again on July 26, 2023, skipping the June meeting. Unless the incoming data presents clear evidence inflation is headed back toward the target inflation rate of 2%, the Fed and other central banks appear poised to maintain tight monetary policy with the possibility of additional firming later this year. The final development that was critical for the Agency RMBS market was the FDIC liquidation auctions stemming from the failed regional banks in March. At this point they are almost 90% of their way through the pass-through auctions and the execution of the auctions has gone far better than feared.
“Orchid Island Capital ("Orchid") reported second quarter 2023 net income $10.2 million, and its shareholders equity increased from $451.4 million to $490.1 million. The market conditions described below led to Orchid reporting gains on its derivatives of $93.4 million, exceeding MBS losses of $69.5 million. Further, Orchid raised additional equity capital of approximately $47.6 million during the second quarter of 2023. Bimini 's advisory services revenue for the quarter was approximately $3.5 million, a 5.5% increase over the comparable quarter in 2022, reflecting Orchid's increased equity. Orchid is also obligated to reimburse us for direct expenses paid on its behalf and to pay to us Orchid’s pro rata share of overhead as defined in the management agreement.
“With respect to the MBS portfolio at Royal Palm, we added to the MBS portfolio during the second quarter of 2023, increasing the market value from $45.6 million at March 31, 2023 to $63.8 million at June 30, 2023. While the portfolio was increased during the quarter, and the combination of portfolio interest and dividend income from our shares of Orchid Island increased 13% over the comparable quarter of 2022, interest expense on our repurchase obligations continues to rise and increased from $73 thousand for the second quarter of 2022 to $564 thousand for the second quarter of 2023. Net interest and dividend income for the quarter of $276 thousand was down significantly from $670 thousand for the same quarter of 2022.
“Mark to market gains and losses on our MBS portfolio, hedge positions and shares of Orchid netted to a net loss of $621 thousand, and net income for the quarter was $286 thousand versus a loss of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2022. Market conditions continue to be volatile so far in the third quarter, but we have been able to continue to build our cash positions and are likely to increase the MBS portfolio again.”
Details of Second Quarter 2023 Results of Operations
The Company reported net income of $0.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. Advisory service revenue for the quarter was $3.5 million. We recorded interest and dividend income of $0.8 million and interest expense on repurchase agreements of $0.6 million and on long-term debt of $0.6million. We recorded an unrealized $0.2 million mark to market loss on our shares of Orchid common stock and unrealized mark to market losses of $0.9 million on our MBS portfolio. The results for the quarter also included operating expenses of $2.2 million and an income tax provision of $0.1 million.
Management of Orchid Island Capital, Inc.
Orchid is managed and advised by Bimini. As Manager, Bimini is responsible for administering Orchid’s business activities and day-to-day operations.

Bimini also maintains a common stock investment in Orchid which is accounted for under the fair value option, with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations for the current period. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, Bimini’s statement of operations included a fair value adjustment of $(0.2) million and dividends of $0.3 million from its investment in Orchid’s common stock. Also during the three months ended June 30, 2023, Bimini recorded $3.5 million in advisory services revenue for managing Orchid’s portfolio consisting of $2.7million of management fees, $0.6million in overhead reimbursement and $0.2million in repurchase, clearing and administrative fees.

Financing and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding repurchase obligations of approximately $60.7million with a net weighted average borrowing rate of 5.28%. These agreements were collateralized by MBS with a fair value, including accrued interest, of approximately $63.9million. At June 30, 2023, the Company’s liquidity was approximately $5.2 million, consisting of unpledged MBS and cash and cash equivalents.
We may pledge more of our structured MBS as part of a repurchase agreement funding, but retain cash in lieu of acquiring additional assets. In this way, we can, at a modest cost, retain higher levels of cash on hand and decrease the likelihood we will have to sell assets in a distressed market in order to raise cash. Below is a list of outstanding borrowings under repurchase obligations at June 30, 2023.
