The earnings call presented a mixed picture. Highlights included the successful internalization of management, which is expected to reduce operating expenses, and strong liquidity and leverage management. However, these positives were offset by challenges such as a decline in book value, the impact of higher rates and increased volatility on the RMBS portfolio, and lower earnings available for distribution.
Company Guidance
In the Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation's fourth quarter 2024 earnings call, the management provided key guidance metrics and insights into their financial performance and strategic direction. The ten-year yield closed the year at 4.57%, marking an increase of nearly eighty basis points quarter over quarter, as inflation remained stubborn. Cherry Hill's RMBS portfolio experienced spread widening due to higher rates and volatility, but this was partially offset by gains in their MSR portfolio. The company completed the internalization of management, which is expected to reduce operating expenses by $1.1 to $1.6 million in 2025, translating to a three to five cents per common share saving. For the quarter, Cherry Hill reported a GAAP net income of $0.29 per diluted share and earnings available for distribution (EAD) of $3.3 million, or ten cents per share. The company's book value per common share decreased from $4.02 to $3.82, and their financial leverage remained steady at 5.3 times. Looking ahead, Cherry Hill plans to focus on agency RMBS and select MSRs, maintaining strong liquidity and prudent leverage, and adapting their strategy to the evolving macroeconomic environment.
