Management Overview
Steven Mumma, NYMT's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The Company delivered a solid 2.4%
economic return for the first quarter, or 9.8% on an annualized basis. Overall, markets generally rallied during the first quarter,
with credit spreads tightening for many higher-yielding assets, including for our multi-family and distressed residential assets
where we saw significant improvement in credit spreads from the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company was also able to take advantage
of greater buy-side demand for distressed residential assets during the first quarter, completing the sale of approximately $51
million of distressed residential loans during the quarter for a realized pre-tax gain of $12 million. Collectively, these
developments helped the Company generate GAAP net earnings of $0.14 per share and comprehensive income of $0.17 per share for the
first quarter.
As previously announced, the Company received approximately $127 million in net proceeds from its convertible
debt offering in January 2017. The Company has utilized those proceeds to help fund its acquisition of its targeted assets during
the quarter, which included approximately $113 million of CMBS securities and approximately $41 million in distressed
residential securities. Of significance, included in the CMBS investments during the first quarter was a $29 million investment in
a first loss Freddie Mac K-Series securitization, which marks our first new investment in a K-Series securitization in over three
years. These new investments had very little impact on first quarter results though, as approximately $104 million of the new
investments settled toward the end of the first quarter. We anticipate these investments will provide a greater contribution to the
Company’s earnings in the second quarter, which should more than offset the interest expense associated with the convertible
debt.
Consistent with the Company’s previously stated intentions, the Company continued to transition its portfolio to
one focused increasingly on residential and multi-family credit assets and continues to believe that a portfolio increasingly
focused on these types of credit assets is well-suited to deliver sustainable positive economic returns over the longer term.”

First Quarter Earnings Summary
For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $16.0
million, an increase of $6.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily due to an increase in other income
in the first quarter as a result of increased sales activity in our distressed residential loan portfolio and an increase in net
unrealized gains on multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts primarily due to the tightening of credit spreads
during the quarter.
We generated net interest income of $13.9 million and a portfolio net interest margin of 270 basis points for
the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The change in net interest income of $0.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2016 was primarily
driven by:
- An increase in interest expense of $2.0 million related to the issuance of $138.0 million principal amount of convertible
notes in January 2017.
- An increase in net interest income of $0.6 million from our Agency IO portfolio in the first quarter due to a decrease in
prepayment rates in the first quarter of 2017 from the fourth quarter of 2016.
- An increase in net interest income of $0.5 million from our Agency ARMs and Agency fixed-rate RMBS portfolio due to a
decrease in prepayment rates and decrease in average liabilities in the first quarter.
- An increase in net interest income of $1.1 million from our multi-family portfolio due to an increase in average interest
earning multi-family assets during the first quarter. The increase in average interest earning multi-family assets can be
attributed to new multi-family CMBS investments made during the first quarter, which includes a first loss PO security issued by
a Freddie Mac-sponsored multi-family K-Series securitization. In addition, average cost of funds decreased during the first
quarter.
- A decrease in net interest income of approximately $1.2 million from our distressed residential portfolio due to a decrease
in asset yields as well as an increase in financing costs in the first quarter.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we recognized other income of $16.7 million, primarily from the
following:
- Net unrealized gains amounting to $1.4 million recognized on our multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts
for the first quarter.
- Realized losses of $2.4 million and unrealized gains of $1.5 million on our investment securities and related hedges, related
to our Agency IO portfolio, for the first quarter.
- Realized gains of $1.2 million on our investment securities related to our sale of CMBS securities during the first
quarter.
- Net realized gains of $12.0 million from the sale of pools of distressed residential mortgage loans during the first
quarter.
- Other income of $2.8 million, which primarily included income from our multi-family investments in unconsolidated entities
during the first quarter.
The following table details the general, administrative and other expenses incurred during the first quarter of
2017 and the fourth quarter of 2016:

Total general, administrative and other expenses for the first quarter of 2017 were approximately $10.2 million, up from $7.2
million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase can be primarily attributed to incentive fees earned on our distressed
residential loan strategy due to increased sales activity during the first quarter of 2017. The increase in salaries, benefits and
directors' compensation can be attributed to an increase in estimated bonus compensation as well as an increase in stock based
compensation expense due to the increase in number of employees from the internalization of RiverBanc and the issuance of
restricted stock to these employees.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this press release, in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or in
other written or oral communications, statements which are not historical in nature, including those containing words such as
“believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “goal,” “objective,”
“will,” “may” or similar expressions, are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), and,
as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of its future
performance, taking into account all information currently available to it. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are subject
to risks and uncertainties and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to the
Company. If a change occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially
from those expressed in its forward-looking statements. The following factors are examples of those that could cause actual results
to vary from the Company’s forward-looking statements: changes in interest rates and the market value of the Company’s securities;
changes in credit spreads; the impact of the downgrade of the long-term credit ratings of the U.S., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and
Ginnie Mae; market volatility; changes in the prepayment rates on the mortgage loans underlying the Company’s investment
securities; increased rates of default and/or decreased recovery rates on the Company's assets; the Company’s ability to borrow to
finance its assets and the terms thereof; changes in governmental laws, regulations or policies affecting the Company’s business;
changes in the Company's relationships with its external managers; the Company’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT
for federal tax purposes; the Company’s ability to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended; and risks associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions and the
general economy. These and other risks, uncertainties and factors, including the risk factors described in the Company’s reports
filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected
in any forward-looking statements it makes. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. New
risks and uncertainties arise over time and it is not possible to predict those events or how they may affect the Company. Except
as required by law, the Company is not obligated to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
