Company Overview

Orchid Island Capital is a real estate investment trust that specializes in investing in residential mortgage‐backed securities (RMBS), with a primary focus on mortgage pass‐through securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae). Structured to elect and maintain status as a REIT under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the company’s principal business strategy involves acquiring pools of U.S. residential mortgages in the secondary market and holding them to generate interest income. To enhance returns, Orchid Island Capital typically employs moderate leverage through secured repurchase agreements with a diversified group of financial institutions.

Since its formation in 2005, Orchid Island Capital has concentrated its investment activities exclusively on the U.S. residential mortgage market, targeting seasoned pools of government‐guaranteed mortgage loans. The company seeks to capitalize on the spread between the interest earned on its mortgage‐backed securities and its cost of financing. By adhering to conservative underwriting criteria for the asset classes in which it invests and maintaining a diversified counterparty base for financing, Orchid Island Capital aims to manage credit and liquidity risk while delivering consistent income to its shareholders.

Orchid Island Capital completed its initial public offering in June 2013 and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ORC. The firm is governed by an independent board of directors and a management team with extensive experience in mortgage finance, structured securities and REIT operations. Orchid Island Capital continues to monitor shifts in mortgage prepayment speeds, interest rate dynamics and regulatory developments in the U.S. housing finance sector to inform its portfolio management and risk‐control practices.
