“A highlight since our last call was MITT’s investment in two proprietary transactions sourced through the Angelo, Gordon platform, one a commercial real estate loan that closed in January 2013 and the other a portfolio of residential whole loans,” said David Roberts, Chief Executive Officer. “Our ability to source, negotiate, and analyze these purchases demonstrates the depth of the resources provided to MITT by the Angelo, Gordon platform. We believe this platform is a long term distinguishing advantage for MITT and its shareholders.”

“Over the course of the fourth quarter we accomplished several key investment goals that we believe position MITT to continue to deliver strong future results for its shareholders,” said Jonathan Lieberman, Chief Investment Officer. “First, we continued to grow our allocation to credit securities with attractive risk-adjusted returns. Second, we increased our interest rate hedge ratio based upon an expectation that interest rates were likely to rise over the short-term, a view that has in fact played out. Third, we also executed upon our plan to lengthen the original tenor of our repo maturities. Finally, we were very pleased to have announced subsequent to year-end, that Angelo, Gordon & Co., the parent of the Company’s external manager, appointed Jason Biegel as Managing Director and the head of its Residential Whole Loan platform. In this role at Angelo, Gordon, he will have primary responsibility for building out a residential whole loan platform that will enable the Company to expand its investments in residential whole loans, mortgage servicing rights and other similar assets. We believe this expansion will allow us to further drive shareholder value.”

* Equity residual investments with a zero coupon rate are excluded from this calculation.

As of December 31, 2012, the weighted average yield on the Company's investment portfolio was 3.38% and its weighted average cost of funds was 1.23%. This resulted in a net interest margin of 2.15% as of December 31, 2012. (3)

The Company had net realized gains of $15.5 million, or $0.66 per share, during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Of this amount, $10.9 million, or $0.46 per share, was from sales of Agency RMBS and TBAs, $3.8 million, or $0.16 per share, was from the sales of credit investments and $0.8 million, or $0.04 per share, was from the transfer of securities previously accounted for as derivatives through linked transactions. The Company had year-to-date net realized gains of $29.5 million, or $1.62 per share. Of this amount, $20.3 million, or $1.11 per share, was from sales of Agency RMBS and TBAs, $6.1 million, or $0.34 per share, was from sales of credit investments, $3.4 million, or $0.19 per share was from the transfer of securities previously accounted for as derivatives through linked transactions and $(0.3) million, or $(0.02) per share, was from the net settlement of interest rate swaps.

The CPR for the Agency RMBS investment portfolio was 7.8% for the fourth quarter, and 8.4% for the month of December 2012. The 2012 CPR on the Agency RMBS investment portfolio was 6.4%. (5)

The weighted average cost basis of the Agency RMBS investment portfolio, excluding interest-only securities, was 105.1% as of December 31, 2012. The amortization of premiums (net of any accretion of discounts) on these securities for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $(6.5) million, or $(0.28) per share. The Company recorded year-to-date premium amortization of $(17.4) million, or $(0.95) per share. The unamortized net Agency RMBS premium as of December 31, 2012 was $171.4 million.

Premiums and discounts associated with purchases of the Company's securities are amortized or accreted into interest income over the estimated life of such securities, using the effective yield method. The Company recorded a zero cent retrospective adjustment as a result of the projected cash flows on its bonds. Since the cost basis of the Company's Agency RMBS securities, excluding interest-only securities, exceeds the underlying principal balance by 5.1% as of December 31, 2012, slower actual and projected prepayments can have a meaningful positive impact, while faster actual or projected prepayments can have a meaningful negative impact on the Company's asset yields.

We have also entered into “to-be-announced” (“TBA”) positions to facilitate the future purchase of Agency RMBS. Under the terms of these TBAs, the Company agrees to purchase, for future delivery, Agency RMBS with certain principal and interest specifications and certain types of underlying collateral, but the particular Agency RMBS to be delivered are not identified until shortly before (generally two days) the TBA settlement date. At December 31, 2012, we had $40.0 million net notional amount of TBA positions with a net weighted average purchase price of 104.5%. As of December 31, 2012, our TBA portfolio had a net weighted average yield at purchase of 2.36% and a net weighted average settlement date of March 12, 2013. We have recorded derivative liabilities of $0.1 million reflecting TBA positions.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had undistributed taxable income of approximately $2.15 per share, including the effects of dividends.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE

This press release contains Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure. AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc.’s management believes that this non-GAAP measure, when considered with GAAP, provides supplemental information useful in evaluating the results of the Company’s operations. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Core Earnings are defined by the Company as net income excluding both realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the sale or termination of securities, including underlying linked transactions and derivatives. As defined, Core Earnings include the net interest earned on these transactions, including credit derivatives, linked transactions, inverse Agency securities, interest rate derivatives or any other investment activity that may earn net interest. One of the objectives of the Company is to generate net income from net interest margin on the portfolio and management uses Core Earnings to measure this objective.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income to Core Earnings for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, the three months ended December 31, 2011 and for the period from March 7, 2011 to December 31, 2011 is set forth below:

Footnotes

(1) Per share figures are calculated using a denominator of all outstanding common shares including all shares granted to our Manager and our independent directors under our equity incentive plans as of quarter end. Net book value uses stockholders’ equity less net proceeds of the Company’s 8.25% Series A and 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock as the numerator.

(2) Generally when we purchase a security and finance it with a repurchase agreement, the security is included in our assets and the repurchase agreement is separately reflected in our liabilities on our balance sheet. For securities with certain characteristics (including those which are not readily obtainable in the market place) that are purchased and then simultaneously sold back to the seller under a repurchase agreement, US GAAP requires these transactions be netted together and recorded as a forward purchase commitment. Throughout this press release where we disclose our investment portfolio and the repurchase agreements that finance it, including our leverage metrics, we have un-linked the transaction and used the gross presentation as used for all other securities. This presentation is consistent with how the Company’s management evaluates the business, and believes provides the most accurate depiction of the Company’s investment portfolio and financial condition.

(3) Net interest margin is calculated by subtracting the weighted average cost of funds from the weighted average yield for the Company’s investment portfolio, which excludes cash held by the Company. See footnotes (10) and (11) for further detail.

(4) The total investment portfolio is calculated by summing the fair market value of our Agency RMBS, Non-Agency RMBS, ABS, CMBS and commercial loan assets, including linked transactions. The percentage of Agency RMBS and credit investments are calculated by dividing the respective fair market value of each, including linked transactions, by the total investment portfolio.

(5) This represents the weighted average monthly CPRs published during the quarter for our in-place portfolio during the same period.

(6) Diluted per share figures are calculated using weighted average outstanding shares in accordance with GAAP.

(7) The leverage ratio during the quarter was calculated by dividing our daily weighted average repurchase agreements, including those included in linked transactions, for the quarter by the weighted average stockholders’ equity for the quarter. The leverage ratio at quarter end was calculated by dividing total repurchase agreements, including repurchase agreements accounted for as linked transactions, plus or minus the net payable or receivable, as applicable, on unsettled trades on our GAAP balance sheet by our GAAP stockholders’ equity at quarter end.

(8) The swap ratio during the quarter was calculated by dividing our daily weighted average swap notionals, including receive fixed swap notionals as negative values, as applicable, for the period by our daily weighted average repurchase agreements secured by Agency RMBS. The swap ratio at quarter end was calculated by dividing the notional value of our interest rate swaps by total repurchase agreements secured by Agency RMBS, plus the net payable/receivable on unsettled Agency trades.

(9) The yield on our investment portfolio represents an effective interest rate, which utilizes all estimates of future cash flows and adjusts for actual prepayment and cash flow activity as of quarter end. The yield on our investment portfolio during the quarter was calculated by annualizing interest income for the quarter and dividing by our daily weighted average securities held. This calculation excludes cash held by the Company.

(10) The cost of funds during the quarter was calculated by annualizing the sum of our interest expense and our net pay rate of our interest rate swaps, and dividing by our daily weighted average repurchase agreements for the period. The cost of funds at quarter end was calculated as the sum of the weighted average rate on the repurchase agreements outstanding at quarter end and the weighted average net pay rate on our interest rate swaps. Both elements of the cost of funds at quarter end were weighted by the repurchase agreements outstanding at quarter end.

(11) The management fee percentage during the quarter was calculated by annualizing the management fees recorded during the quarter and dividing by the weighted average stockholders’ equity for the quarter. The management fee percentage at quarter end was calculated by annualizing management fees recorded during the quarter and dividing by quarter end stockholders’ equity.

(12) The other operating expenses percentage during the quarter was calculated by annualizing the other operating expenses recorded during the quarter and dividing by our weighted average stockholders’ equity for the quarter. The other operating expenses percentage at quarter end was calculated by annualizing other operating expenses recorded during the quarter and dividing by quarter end stockholders’ equity.
