Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries the “Company”), is a real estate finance company focused on acquiring and investing in first lien non-qualified residential mortgage (“non-QM”) loans and other mortgage‑related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. The Company’s strategy is to make investments in first lien non‑QM loans that are primarily made to higher‑quality non‑QM loan borrowers and primarily sourced from the proprietary mortgage lending platform of affiliates, Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions LLC and Angel Oak Home Loans LLC (together, “Angel Oak Mortgage Lending”), which operates through wholesale and retail channels and has a national origination footprint. The Company may also invest in other residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage‑backed securities (“RMBS”), and other mortgage‑related assets. The Company’s objective is to generate attractive risk‑adjusted returns for its stockholders, through cash distributions and capital appreciation, across interest rate and credit cycles.

The Company is a Maryland corporation incorporated on March 20, 2018. On September 18, 2018 (commencement of operations), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) authorized the Company to commence operations and on October 19, 2018 the Company began its investing activities. For the period prior to September 18, 2018, the Company had no operating activity. The Company achieves certain of its investment objectives by investing a portion of its assets in its wholly‑owned taxable subsidiary, Angel Oak Mortgage REIT TRS, LLC (“AOMR TRS”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on March 21, 2018, which invests its assets in Angel Oak Mortgage Fund TRS, a Delaware statutory trust formed on June 15, 2018.

On June 21, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,200,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“common stock”), at an initial public offering price of $19.00 per share for total proceeds of approximately $136.8 million, excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses of the IPO, each of which was paid by Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Angel Oak Capital”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-256301) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The common stock of the Company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “AOMR”.

Concurrently with the completion of the IPO, the Company sold an additional 2,105,263 shares of common stock to CPPIB Credit Investments Inc. in a private placement at $19.00 per share, for total proceeds of approximately $40.0 million.

The Operating Partnership

On February 5, 2020, the Company formed Angel Oak Mortgage Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), through which substantially all of its assets are held and substantially all of its operations are conducted, either directly or through subsidiaries. The Company holds all of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and indirectly holds the sole general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership through the general partner, which is the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Company’s Manager and REIT status

The Company is externally managed and advised by Falcons I, LLC (the “Manager”), a registered investment adviser with the SEC. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2019 and will operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain

(Unaudited)

revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and the differences could be material.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior periods in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. For comparative purposes, and to enhance transparency of the Company’s balance sheet, “other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 in the amount of $2.4 million have been reclassified to unrealized appreciation on “To be Announced” forward-settling of mortgage-backed securities trades (“TBAs”) and interest rate futures contracts - at fair value, leaving a remaining balance of $2.9 million of other assets.

Recent Accounting Standards - Recently Issued

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard was issued to ease the accounting effects of reform to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other reference rates. The standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt, derivatives, and other contracts affected by reference rate reform. The standard is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not believe that this ASU will have a material impact upon its consolidated financial statements.

Amortized Cost and Fair Value for Certain Non-Recourse Securitization Obligations of Angel Oak Mortgage Trust (“AOMT”)

The Company had previously elected the fair value option for many of its assets and liabilities as provided for under Accounting Standards Codification 825, Financial Instruments, with certain exceptions. The Company has recorded the issuances of non-recourse securitization obligations of AOMT 2021-7 and 2021-4 at amortized cost, and subsequent securitization issuances at fair value (See Note 2 - Variable Interest Entities and Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements).

The valuation methodology used to measure the fair value of the Company’s non-recourse securitization obligations, collateralized by residential mortgage loans, uses the prices of the underlying bonds securing the related residential mortgage loans in securitization trusts. The Company utilizes PriceServe, Bank of America’s independent fixed income pricing service, as the primary valuation source for these bonds. PriceServe obtains its price quotes from actual sales or quotes for sale of the same or similar securities and/or provides model‑based valuations that consider inputs derived from recent market activity including default rates, conditional prepayment rates, loss severity, expected yield to maturity, baseline discount margin/yield, recovery assumptions, tranche type, collateral coupon, age and loan size, and other inputs specific to each security. We believe that these quotes are most reflective of the price that would be achieved if the bonds were sold to an independent third party on the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. This liability is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt issuance costs for non-recourse securitization obligations electing the fair value option are recorded to expense upon issuance of the securitization. Debt issuance costs incurred with the issuances of non-recourse securitization obligations for which the fair value option was not elected are presented at amortized cost.

2. Variable Interest Entities

Since its inception, the Company has utilized Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) for the purpose of securitizing whole mortgage loans to obtain long-term non-recourse financing. The Company evaluates its interest in each VIE to determine if it is the primary beneficiary.

VIEs for Which the Company is the Primary Beneficiary

In 2021 and 2022, the Company entered into securitization transactions where it was determined that the Company was the primary beneficiary, as, with respect to each securitization vehicle, it controls the class of securities with call rights, or “controlling class” of securities, the XS tranche. The Company was the sole entity to contribute residential whole mortgage loans to these securitization vehicles.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, in the AOMT 2022-4 transaction, the Company securitized and consolidated approximately $184.7 million unpaid principal balance of seasoned residential non-QM mortgage loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in the AOMT 2022-4 and the AOMT 2022-1 transactions, the Company securitized and consolidated approximately $722.3 million unpaid principal balance of seasoned residential non-QM mortgage loans.

The retained beneficial interest in VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary is the subordinated tranches of the securitization and further interests in additional interest‑only tranches. The table below sets forth the fair values of the assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet related to these consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

VIEs for Which the Company is Not the Primary Beneficiary

In 2019 and 2020, the Company co‑sponsored and participated in the formation of various entities that were considered to be VIEs. These VIEs were formed to facilitate securitization issuances that were comprised of secured residential whole loans and/or small balance commercial loans contributed to securitization trusts.

These securities were issued as a result of the unconsolidated securitizations where the Company retained bonds from the issuances of AOMT 2019-2, AOMT 2019-4, AOMT 2019-6, AOMT 2020-3, and AOMT 2020-SBC1. The Company determined that it was not then and is not now the primary beneficiary of any of these entities, and thus has not consolidated the operating results or statements of financial position of any of these entities. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of all VIEs in which the Company has participated since its inception as to whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE would cause the Company’s consolidation conclusion to change, and the Company’s assessment of the VIEs in which the Company participated during the years 2019 and 2020 remains unchanged.

The securities received in the aforementioned 2019 and 2020 securitization transactions are included in “RMBS - at fair value” and “CMBS - at fair value” on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and details on the accounting treatment and fair value methodology of the securities can be found in Note 10, Fair Value Measurements. See Note 5, Investment Securities, for the fair value of AOMT securities held by the Company as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that were retained by the Company as a result of the securitization transactions in 2020 and 2019.

6. Notes Payable

The Company has the ability to finance residential and commercial whole loans, utilizing lines of credit (notes payable) from various counterparties, as further described below. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at floating rates depending on the lending counterparty, the collateral pledged, and the rate in effect for each interest period, as the same may change from time to time at the end of each interest period. Some loans include upfront fees, fees on unused balances, covenants and concentration limits on types of collateral pledged; all vary based on the counterparty. Occasionally, a lender may require certain margin collateral to be posted on a warehouse line of credit. Restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 included $7.6 million in margin collateral required by a lender, all of which was released in full subsequent to September 30, 2022. There was no such margin collateral required as of December 31, 2021.

The following table sets forth the details of all the lines of credit available to the Company and drawn amounts for whole loan purchases as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

7. Due to Broker

The “Due to broker” account on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 in the amount of $1.0 billion relates to the purchase of whole pool RMBS at quarter-end in the third quarter of 2022. Purchases are accounted for on a trade date basis; and, at times, there may be a timing difference between the trade date and the settlement date of a trade. The trade date of this purchase was prior to September 30, 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, this transaction is excluded from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as it is a noncash transaction. The cash for these whole pool RMBS settled on October 13, 2022, at which time these assets were simultaneously sold.

8. Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Transactions involving securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as collateralized financial transactions, and are recorded at their contracted repurchase amounts. Margin (if required) for securities sold under agreements to repurchase represents margin collateral amounts held to ensure that the Company has sufficient coverage for securities sold under agreements to repurchase in case of adverse price changes. Restricted cash of margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $1.1 million and $5.0 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following table summarizes certain characteristics of the Company’s repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

RMBS	360,501		0.16	%	18
Total	$	609,251	0.15	%	13

Although the transactions under repurchase agreements represent committed borrowings until maturity, the lenders retain the right to mark the underlying collateral at fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require the Company to provide additional collateral or fund margin calls.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk and prepayment risk on its whole loan investments. The derivatives in which the Company invests, and the market risk that the economic hedge is intended to mitigate are further discussed below. Derivative instruments as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included both TBAs and interest rate futures contracts. Restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 included $0.3 million in interest rate futures margin collateral. There was no TBA margin collateral required as of September 30, 2022. Restricted cash as of December 31, 2021 included $2.3 million in TBA margin collateral and $4.2 million in interest rate futures margin collateral.

The Company uses interest rate futures as economic hedges to hedge a portion of its interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate risk is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors. The Company’s credit risk with respect to economic hedges is the risk of default on its investments that result from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.

The Company may at times hold TBAs in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on certain specified mortgage-backed securities. Amounts or obligations owed by or to the Company are subject to the right of set-off with the TBA counterparty. As part of executing these trades, the Company may enter into agreements with its TBA counterparties that govern the transactions for the TBA purchases or sales made, including margin maintenance, payment and transfer, events of default, settlements, and various other provisions.

10. Fair Value Measurements

For financial reporting purposes, we follow a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., our own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

As of September 30, 2022, our valuation policy and processes had not changed from those described in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the exception of electing the fair value option for two new non-recourse securitization obligations added in 2022, collateralized by residential mortgage loans, as described in Note 1. Included in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K is a detailed description of our other financial instruments measured at fair value and their significant inputs, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 valuation hierarchy.

The fair value of cash, restricted cash, principal and interest receivable, deferred tax assets and liabilities, other assets (principally consisting of prepaid assets), securities sold under obligation to repurchase, amounts due to broker and accrued expenses (including those payable to an affiliate and management fees payable to an affiliate), and interest payable approximate their carrying values.due to the nature of these assets and liabilities.

The following table sets forth information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2022:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

(1) Non‑Agency RMBS held as of September 30, 2022 included both retained tranches of securitizations in which the Company participated and additional AOMT securities purchased in secondary market transactions.

(2) All AOMT CMBS held as of September 30, 2022 were comprised of a small-balance commercial loan securitization issuance in which the Company participated.

(3) Only the portion subject to fair value measurement, as adjusted for fair value, is presented above. See below for the disclosure of the full debt at fair value.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 were comprised of residential loans more than 90 days overdue (including those in foreclosure). Transfers between Levels are deemed to take place on the first day of the reporting period in which the transfer has taken place. These transfers were not material.

All unrealized gains and losses arising from valuation changes in residential and commercial mortgage loans, TBAs, and futures contracts are recognized in net income (loss) for the periods presented.

We use third‑party valuation firms who utilize proprietary methodologies to value our residential and commercial loans. These firms generally use both market comparable information and discounted cash flow modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant input and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, default rates, or other valuation assumptions. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s significant Level 3 inputs as of September 30, 2022:

Fair Value Disclosure - Non-Recourse Securitization Obligations, Collateralized by Residential Mortgage Loans - Fair Value for Disclosure Purposes Only

To determine the fair value of the Company’s non-recourse securitization obligations, collateralized by residential mortgage loans, net, in full, the Company used the prices of the underlying bonds securing the related residential mortgage loans in securitization trusts. The Company utilizes PriceServe, Bank of America’s independent fixed income pricing service, as the primary valuation source for these bonds. PriceServe obtains its price quotes from actual sales or quotes for sale of the same or similar securities and/or provides model‑based valuations that consider inputs derived from recent market activity including default rates, conditional prepayment rates, loss severity, expected yield to maturity, baseline discount margin/yield, recovery assumptions, tranche type, collateral coupon, age and loan size and other inputs specific to each security. These quotes are most reflective of the price that would be achieved if the bonds were sold to an independent third party on the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. This liability is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the valuation model has inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the liability.

As of September 30, 2022, the total amortized cost basis and fair value of our non-recourse securitization obligations was $1.1 billion and $992.9 million, respectively, a difference of approximately $116.8 million (which includes AOMT 2022-1 and AOMT 2022-4, which are marked to fair value; and AOMT 2021-7, and AOMT 2021-4, which are carried at amortized cost, as further described). The difference between the amortized cost and fair value solely attributable to AOMT 2021-4 and 2021-7 is approximately $57.6 million. The difference between the amortized cost basis value and the fair value is derived from the difference between the period-end market pricing of the underlying bonds, as referred to above, and the amortized cost of the obligation. The fair value of the non-recourse securitization debt is not indicative of the amounts at which we could settle this debt.

General

Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. is a publicly-traded REIT focused on acquiring and investing in first lien non-QM loans and other mortgage-related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. Our strategy is to make credit-sensitive investments primarily in newly-originated first lien non-QM loans that are primarily made to higher-quality non-QM loan borrowers and primarily sourced from Angel Oak’s proprietary mortgage lending platform, Angel Oak Mortgage Lending, which operates through wholesale and retail channels and has a national origination footprint. Further, we also may identify and acquire our target assets through the secondary market when market conditions and asset prices are conducive to making attractive purchases. Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders, through cash distributions and capital appreciation, across interest rate and credit cycles.

We are externally managed and advised by our Manager, a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and an affiliate of Angel Oak Capital. Angel Oak Capital is a leading alternative credit manager with market leadership in mortgage credit that includes asset management, lending and capital markets. Angel Oak Capital was established in 2009 and had approximately $9.8 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2022 across its private credit strategies, public funds, and separately managed accounts, including approximately $7.5 billion of mortgage‑related assets. Angel Oak Mortgage Lending is a market leader in non‑QM loan production and, as of September 30, 2022, had originated over $16.7 billion in total non‑QM loan volume since its inception in 2011. Angel Oak is headquartered in Atlanta and had approximately 800 employees across its enterprise as of September 30, 2022.

Through our relationship with our Manager, we benefit from Angel Oak’s vertically integrated platform and in‑house expertise, providing us with the resources that we believe are necessary to generate attractive risk‑adjusted returns for our stockholders. Angel Oak Mortgage Lending provides us with proprietary access to non‑QM loans, as well as transparency over the underwriting process and the ability to acquire loans with our desired credit and return profile. We believe our ability to identify and acquire target assets through the secondary market is bolstered by Angel Oak’s experience in the mortgage industry and expertise in structured credit investments. In addition, we believe we have significant competitive advantages due to Angel Oak’s analytical investment tools, extensive relationships in the financial community, financing and capital structuring skills, investment surveillance capabilities, and operational expertise.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we have been organized and operated, and we intend to continue to operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Our qualification as a REIT, and maintenance of such qualification, will depend on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various complex requirements under the Code relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of our assets, our distribution levels and the concentration of ownership of our stock. We also intend to operate our business in a manner that will allow us to maintain our exclusion from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Our common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 17, 2021.

We expect to derive our returns primarily from the difference between the interest we earn on loans we make and our cost of capital, as well as the returns from bonds, including risk retention securities, that are retained after securitizing the underlying loan collateral.

SEC Order Regarding an Affiliate of Our Manager

On August 10, 2022, the SEC accepted offers of settlement from Angel Oak Capital, an affiliate of our Manager, and Ashish Negandhi, a former portfolio manager at Angel Oak Capital, and entered an administrative order against both Angel Oak Capital and Mr. Negandhi. The settlement and administrative order relate to AOMT 2018-PB1, a securitization issued in 2018. AOMT 2018-PB1 was a one-off, first-of-its-kind, $90 million securitization with fix-and-flip loans as the underlying collateral. Fix-and-flip loans are loans made to borrowers for the purpose of purchasing, renovating, and selling residential properties. These loans were originated by an affiliate of Angel Oak Capital, Angel Oak Prime Bridge, which ceased originating loans in 2019. Angel Oak Capital and its affiliates have not issued another securitization solely backed by this type of collateral.

The SEC’s order concluded that Angel Oak Capital and Mr. Negandhi made inaccurate disclosure of mortgage delinquency rates when reporting on the performance of AOMT 2018-PB1 in violation of the Securities Act and the Advisers Act. The inaccuracies related to the use of funds held in escrow accounts (funds held to reimburse borrowers for renovations to the properties) to cure loan delinquencies. Angel Oak Capital and Mr. Negandhi did not admit or deny these findings. The order does not allege that Angel Oak Capital or Mr. Negandhi acted with fraudulent intent. The SEC accepted Angel Oak Capital’s and Mr. Negandhi’s offers to settle the case. Angel Oak Capital and Mr. Negandhi paid fines of $1,750,000 and $75,000, respectively, were censured, and agreed to cease and desist from future violations.

Trends and Recent Developments

Overall macroeconomic environment and its effect on us

The 2022 macroeconomic environment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was significantly more challenging than that of the 2021 comparative periods, and has been defined by volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets. Heightened recessionary risks continued to challenge the U.S. economy throughout the third quarter of 2022, with economic activity simultaneously beset by both a sharp increase in interest rates along with persistent inflation, both further discussed below. The inflationary environment decreased slightly over the third quarter of 2022 from its 40-year record high mark of 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022; however, inflation remains elevated from a historical standpoint at 8.2% year-over-year as of September 30, 2022. The Federal Reserve Bank of the U.S. (the “Fed”) has indicated that it remains committed to increasing interest rates over the coming months in an effort to promote price stability and decrease inflation.

The Fed has approved historic increases to the federal funds rate over 2022, comprised of six interest rate increases to date, beginning on March 16, 2022, with a 25 basis point increase as the first increase to the rate in nearly three years, a 50 basis point increase on May 5, 2022, a 75 basis point increase on June 15, 2022, a 75 basis point increase on July 27, 2022, a 75 basis point increase on September 21, 2022, and a 75 basis point increase on November 2, 2022. The November 2022 rate increase represented the first time in modern history that the Fed has raised interest rates by 75 basis points four times in a row. An increase in the federal funds rate generally has the effect of increasing borrowing rates for all types of consumer credit, including mortgages. The Fed has indicated that it plans to continue to increase interest rates in the near term. We believe that a further increase in interest rates from the previous historically low levels is unlikely to significantly affect demand for non-QM mortgages; however, the increase in interest rates over the past nine months has generally caused interest rate spreads to widen, which has negatively affected the valuation of our whole loan portfolio. Our whole loan portfolio incurred unrealized losses in 2022, with the unrealized loss effect magnified by the size of the portfolio. Additionally, the sharp increase in interest rates over a short period of time has resulted in a challenging environment for securitizing loans originated at lower interest rates, and our securitization volume may be lower than usual until interest rates and securitization markets stabilize.

Sharply rising interest rates have resulted in a slowdown of mortgage origination and refinancing activity, as the average conforming 30-year mortgage rate with no points averaged approximately 7% by the end of September 2022, more than double that same metric as of December 2021. The availability of housing inventory in many areas of the U.S. has remained low, limiting the original purchase mortgage market. Previously in 2022, housing inventories were depressed as supply chain and labor availability issues resulting from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic constrained home building in many areas of the U.S., with raw materials unavailable for extended periods of time and labor shortages causing construction delays. The constraint on housing inventory has shifted from that of supply chains and labor availability affecting home builders to that of a lack of existing homes being placed on the market, as homeowners paying mortgage debt originated at low rates are hesitant to sell and incur mortgage debt originated at significantly higher rates. The combination of sustained high mortgage rates and low housing inventory has created a troublesome situation for homebuyers, who continue to face constraints in both affordability and availability, while high interest rates alone have curtailed refinancing activity.

A slowdown in homeowner prepayment activities (including a slowdown in refinancing existing mortgages, as referred to above) has had a positive impact on some of the bonds that we hold from older securitization transactions, as we typically hold the lower junior and XS (interest only) tranches of bonds from a securitization transaction, and the lack of prepayment activity within a securitization transaction results in more interest income available to be allocated to the XS bonds; however, the positive impact of increased interest income and lowered realized losses as a result of slower prepayment speeds only partially offsets the unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) on bond valuation.

Although we currently have unrealized losses in our whole loan portfolio, which may continue in an elevated interest rate environment, given the Fed’s planned further interest rate increases, holding whole loans originated in the future at higher interest rates (or “coupon”) generally has the effect of increasing our net interest income, resulting in prepayment speeds likely slowing for existing securitization transactions, which will also increase our net interest income as we primarily hold junior and interest only tranches of the securitized bonds that we have issued.

Our investment performance

Our non-QM whole loan portfolio experienced unrealized losses on the portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which were driven by mark-to-market losses due to interest rate spreads widening and market volatility. The residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) portfolio and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) portfolio results also included mark-to-market losses on the valuation of this asset class. Realized gains on our TBA investments and interest rate futures partially offset the aforementioned unrealized losses on whole loans for the year to date period, though for the quarter to date period, we experienced a realized loss in TBA investments and a realized gain on interest rate futures. Realized losses on our RMBS and CMBS XS and interest only bonds decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as prepayment activities slowed.

The non-QM whole loan portfolio unrealized losses are reflected in net income, while the RMBS and CMBS portfolios’ unrealized losses are reflected in other comprehensive income. All realized losses are reflected in net income (loss).

Purchases of whole loans in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and our 2022 securitizations to date

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased $62.4 million and $995.2 million, respectively, in residential whole loans. On February 11, 2022, we issued AOMT 2022-1, securitizing a total of $537.6 million of unpaid principal balance of seasoned residential non-QM mortgage loans. On July 13, 2022, we issued AOMT 2022-4, securitizing a total of $184.7 million of unpaid principal balance of seasoned residential non-QM mortgage loans. The issuance of AOMT 2022-1 and AOMT 2022-4, along with our 2021 issuances of AOMT 2021-4 and AOMT 2021-7, securitized a total of approximately $1.4 billion of unpaid principal balance of seasoned residential non-QM mortgage loans. We issued these securitizations as the sole participant in the securitization. We own and hold the call rights on the XS tranche of bonds, which is the “controlling class” of the bonds, and are the sole member of the Depositor entity in these securitizations. Given the accounting rules surrounding these types of transactions, we have consolidated these securitizations, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the applicable balance sheet dates.

Our securitizations prior to 2021 were securitization transactions entered into with other Angel Oak entities, for which we did not meet the accounting rules to be considered a “primary beneficiary” of the applicable securitization vehicle, and therefore, for these prior securitizations, the bonds retained in the securitization are held on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We may strategically enter into similar securitizations in the future.

Whole loan financing facilities activity

Our lender base is fluid and we intend to enter into new agreements and / or exit agreements as we deem prudent, and in accordance with our core financial strategy of purchasing whole loans and retaining them until securitized. Our whole loan financing activity during the third quarter of 2022 and subsequent to September 30, 2022 was as follows:

•On August 4, 2022, the facility limit under a master repurchase agreement with a multinational bank (“Multinational Bank 1”) was increased by $260.0 million to $600.0 million.

•On August 23, 2022, we extended a $400.0 million line of credit with a multinational bank (“Multinational Bank 2”) from September 26, 2022 to September 30, 2022, which on September 27, 2022, was further extended to October 14, 2022, at which

time, the line of credit expired by its terms. Loans that had been financed with this line of credit were subsequently financed with other lines of credit.

•On October 4, 2022, we entered into short-term master repurchase agreements with two affiliated institutional investors (“Institutional Investors A and B”) for a pool of loans with financing of approximately $168.7 million.

•On October 5, 2022, a $300.0 million line of credit with a global investment bank (“Global Investment Bank 1”) expired by its terms. This line of credit had not been substantially utilized in 2022.

Key Financial Metrics

As a real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are Distributable Earnings, Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity, Book Value per Share of Common Stock, and Economic Book Value per Share of Common Stock.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a non‑GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), excluding (1) unrealized gains and losses on our aggregate portfolio, (2) impairment losses, (3) extinguishment of debt, (4) non-cash equity compensation expense, (5) the incentive fee earned by our Manager, (6) realized gains or losses on swap terminations and (7) certain other nonrecurring gains or losses. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our REIT peers, but has important limitations. We believe Distributable Earnings as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and our belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons that stockholders invest in our common stock, generally we intend to attempt to pay dividends to our stockholders in an amount equal to our REIT taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our Board of Directors. Distributable Earnings is one of a number of factors considered by our Board of Directors in declaring dividends and, while not a direct measure of REIT taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of our dividends. Distributable Earnings should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

We also will use Distributable Earnings to determine the incentive fee payable to our Manager pursuant to the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) that we and Angel Oak Mortgage Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into with our Manager upon the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”) on June 21, 2021. For information on the fees that are payable to our Manager under the Management Agreement, see “Note 11 – Related Party Transactions” in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Distributable Earnings were approximately $20.8 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $80.9 million and $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Distributable Earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity

Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as annual or annualized Distributable Earnings divided by average total stockholders’ equity. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance among our REIT peers, but has important limitations. Additionally, we believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with additional detail on the Distributable Earnings generated by our invested equity capital. We believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs. Set forth below is our computation of Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Economic Book Value per Share of Common Stock

“Economic book value” is a non-GAAP financial measure of our financial position. To calculate our economic book value, the portions of our non-recourse financing obligation held at amortized cost are adjusted to fair value. These adjustments are also reflected in the table below in our end of period common stockholders’ equity. Management considers economic book value to provide investors with a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our financial position as it reflects the impact of fair value changes for our legally held retained bonds, irrespective of the accounting model applied for GAAP reporting purposes. Economic book value does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for book value per share of common stock or stockholders’ equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation from GAAP total stockholders’ equity and book value per share of common stock to economic book value and economic book value per share of common stock as of September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

Net Interest Income

The following table sets forth the components of net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:


	Three Months Ended

Net interest income	$	11,740				$	12,988

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $11.7 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Net interest income increased due to the additional average portfolio balance in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the composition of the portfolio during September 30, 2022 having a higher average balance of residential mortgage loans and residential mortgage loans in securitization trusts, along with a higher RMBS average balance, which increased net interest income. These average asset balances were partially offset by higher average balances in notes payable and non-recourse securitization obligation, collateralized by residential mortgage loans, in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, which resulted in a commensurately increased interest expense during the comparative period.

Total Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)

The components of total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are set forth as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
	(in thousands)
Unrealized loss on securitization, net of unrealized gain on non-recourse securitization obligation	$	(39,567)	$	—
Realized gain (loss) on RMBS, net	10,972		353
Realized gain (loss) on CMBS	280		(250)
Realized gain (loss) on interest rate futures	17,692		39
Realized and unrealized loss on TBAs	(5,229)		(4,074)
Realized and unrealized (loss) gain on residential mortgage loans	(73,526)		3,454
Realized and unrealized (loss) gain on commercial mortgage loans	(204)		(43)

Unrealized appreciation on interest rate futures	6,017		198
Total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net	$	(83,565)	$	(323)

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, total realized and unrealized gains and (losses), net resulted in a net loss of $83.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, market volatility resulting in widening

interest rate spreads caused the valuation of our portfolio of mortgage loans to decrease, which resulted in an unrealized loss. This net unrealized loss was partially offset by realized and unrealized gains on interest rate futures and RMBS (primarily in our whole pool loan portfolio). During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the unrealized and realized losses on TBAs was partially offset by realized and unrealized gains on residential mortgage loans.

Expenses

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our operating expenses increased overall at $2.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, primarily due to legal expense, audit, and administration fees.

Operating Expenses Incurred with Affiliate

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our operating expenses incurred with affiliate were $2.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These expenses increased during the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a $1.4 million severance accrual in accordance with the Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Executive Severance Agreement”) relating to the separation of our former Chief Executive Officer and President. This accrued severance is expected to be paid in 2023. These expenses also include the allocated time of partially dedicated employees’ compensation being reimbursed by us, which time allocated to us increased during the comparative period.

Due Diligence and Transaction Costs

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our due diligence and transaction costs were $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The decrease in these costs was due to whole loan acquisition diligence costs, which decreased over the comparative period as we purchased fewer whole loans during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Stock Compensation

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our stock compensation expense was $3.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Our stock compensation expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a $2.6 million one-time expense resulting from the expected accelerated vesting of stock awards for our former Chief Executive Officer and President, as per the Executive Severance Agreement. Other restricted stock awards vest over one, three, or four years (depending on the tranche of award), commencing on the one year anniversary of the grant date.

Securitization Costs

We incurred $1.1 million of securitization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the AOMT 2022-4 transaction. There were no securitization costs incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as the non-recourse securitization debt of the AOMT 2021-4 and AOMT 2021-7 securitizations is held at amortized cost, and thus, the debt issuance costs involved in those securitizations were capitalized and amortize to interest expense over time.

Management Fee Incurred with Affiliate

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our management fee incurred with affiliate was $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The increase is due to the increase in our average Equity as defined in the Management Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The Management Agreement includes an addition of Distributable Earnings to “Equity” as defined in the agreement, which is the primary departure from equity as calculated in accordance with GAAP, which has caused Equity as defined per the Management Agreement to increase despite a decrease in our equity calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Our results of operations presented herein for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 do not reflect the expenses typically associated with being a public company for the reporting period, including increased insurance, legal, and accounting fees, full periods of equity compensation expense, expenses incurred in complying with the reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and increased expense of the base management fee to our Manager as a result of differences in the way fees and expense reimbursements are calculated under the Management Agreement as compared to the pre-IPO management agreement (the “pre-IPO management agreement”) as among us, our Manager and Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, LP (“Angel Oak Mortgage Fund”), our sole common stockholder prior the IPO. Additionally, pursuant to the Management Agreement, we are required to reimburse our Manager for its operating expenses, including third‑party expenses, incurred on our behalf; and our Manager is entitled to reimbursement for costs of the wages, salaries, and benefits incurred by our Manager for our dedicated Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and a proportionate amount of the costs of the wages, salaries, and benefits of our former Chief Executive Officer and President (who dedicated a substantial majority of his business time to us after the completion of the IPO and through his separation date of September 28, 2022) based on the percentage of his business time spent on our matters, and any other dedicated or partially dedicated employees based on the percentage of each such person’s working time spent on matters related to us.

Net Interest Income

The following table sets forth the components of net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2022				September 30, 2021
	(in thousands)
Interest income	Interest income / expense		Average balance			Interest income / expense		Average balance

Total interest expense	41,704					5,277
Net interest income	$	45,255				$	32,486

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $45.3 million and $32.5 million, respectively. Net interest income increased due to the additional average portfolio balance in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the composition of the portfolio during September 30, 2022 having a higher average balance of residential mortgage loans and residential mortgage loans in securitization trusts, which increased net interest income. These average asset balances were partially offset by higher average balances in notes payable; notes payable, non-recourse securitization obligation, collateralized by residential mortgage loans; and repurchase facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, which resulted in commensurately increased interest expense during the comparative period.

Total Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)

The components of total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are set forth as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
	(in thousands)

Unrealized loss on securitization, net of unrealized gain on non-recourse securitization obligation	$	(82,642)	$	—
Realized loss on RMBS, net	(16,884)		(8,455)
Realized gain (loss) on CMBS	34		(630)
Realized gain (loss) on interest rate futures	60,745		(431)
Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on TBAs	14,171		(6,693)
Realized and unrealized (loss) gain on residential mortgage loans	(180,152)		9,780
Realized and unrealized (loss) gain on commercial mortgage loans	(1,209)		315
Realized and unrealized loss on U.S. Treasury bills	—		(8)
Unrealized appreciation on interest rate futures	7,339		2,617
Total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net	$	(198,598)	$	(3,505)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net resulted in a net loss position of $198.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, market volatility resulting in widening interest rate spreads caused the valuation of our portfolio of mortgage loans to decrease significantly, which resulted in an unrealized loss. All of our unrealized losses were partially offset by realized and unrealized .gains on interest rate futures and TBAs. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net realized loss was primarily due to realized loss on RMBS, which was primarily due to prepayment speeds on the junior and interest only bonds that we held, and realized and unrealized loss on TBAs, partially offset by realized and unrealized gains on residential mortgage loans.

Expenses

Operating Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our operating expenses were $9.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The increase in operating expenses in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 was due to an increase in costs due to being a public company, including increased insurance, audit, and legal fees. We also experienced an increase in loan administration costs, commensurate with an increase in the number of loans in our portfolio during the comparative period.

Operating Expenses Incurred with Affiliate

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our operating expenses incurred with affiliate were $3.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. These expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a $1.4 million severance accrual in accordance with the Executive Severance Agreement relating to the separation of our former Chief Executive Officer and President. This accrued severance is expected to be paid in 2023. These expenses also include the allocated time of partially dedicated employees’ compensation being reimbursed by us, which time allocated to us increased during the comparative period.

Due Diligence and Transaction Costs

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our due diligence and transaction costs were $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The increase in these costs was due to whole loan acquisition diligence costs, which increased over the comparative period as we purchased more whole loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Stock Compensation

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our stock compensation expense was $5.2 million. Our stock compensation expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to a $2.6 million one-time expense resulting from the expected accelerated vesting of stock awards for our former Chief Executive Officer and President, as per the Executive Severance Agreement. Our stock compensation expense of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was substantially incurred in connection with our IPO in June 2021. We issued additional restricted stock awards on January 1, 2022, March 10 and March 11, 2022, and May 18, 2022. Restricted stock awards other than those accelerated by the Executive Severance Agreement vest over one, three, or four years (depending on the tranche of award), commencing on the one year anniversary of the grant date.

Securitization Costs

Securitization costs of $3.1 million were incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in the securitizations of AOMT 2022-1 and AOMT 2022-4. There were no securitization costs incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as the non-recourse securitization debt of the AOMT 2021-4 and AOMT 2021-7 securitizations is held at amortized cost, and thus, the debt issuance costs involved in those securitizations were capitalized and amortize to interest expense over time.

Management Fee Incurred with Affiliate

Prior to the completion of the IPO, we were required to pay our Manager, in cash, a management fee pursuant to a pre-IPO management agreement among us, our Manager and Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, our sole common stockholder prior the IPO. The management fee payable under the pre-IPO management agreement was calculated based on the Actively Invested Capital (as defined in the pre-IPO management agreement) of the limited partners in Angel Oak Mortgage Fund, which we believe is reflective of a typical management fee payable by a private investment vehicle.

The pre-IPO management agreement terminated on the completion of the IPO, and we and the Operating Partnership subsequently entered into the Management Agreement with our Manager effective as of the completion of the IPO. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager is entitled to a base management fee, which is calculated based on our Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), and an incentive fee based on certain performance criteria, as well as a termination fee in certain cases and reimbursement of certain expenses as described in the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement includes an addition of Distributable Earnings to “Equity” as defined in the agreement, which is the primary departure from equity as calculated in accordance with GAAP, which has caused Equity as defined per the Management Agreement to increase despite a decrease in our equity calculated in accordance with GAAP.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our management fee incurred with affiliate was $5.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The increase is due to the increase in our average Equity as defined by the Management Agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

Our Portfolio

As of September 30, 2022, our portfolio consisted of approximately $3.2 billion of residential mortgage loans, RMBS, and other target assets. Certain of these portfolio assets are located in the state of Florida, which was affected by Hurricane Ian in the third quarter of 2022. We require all of our collateral to be adequately insured. The graphs in the subsequent detail of residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, and residential mortgage loans underlying RMBS issuances show the percentage of residential mortgage loans held in each state where there is a concentration of loans, including Florida.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund our investments and operating costs, make distributions to our stockholders, and satisfy other general business needs. Our financing sources currently include payments of principal and interest we receive on our investment portfolio, unused borrowing capacity under our in‑place loan financing lines and repurchase facilities, and securitizations of our whole loans. Our financing sources historically have also included capital contributions from our investors prior to our IPO, the proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement (which capital has all been deployed), as well as payments of principal and interest we receive on our investment portfolio, unused borrowing capacity under our in‑place loan financing lines and repurchase facilities, and securitizations of our whole loans. Going forward, we may also utilize other types of borrowings, including bank credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit, among others. We may also seek to raise additional capital through public or private offerings of equity, equity-related, or debt securities, depending upon market conditions. The use of any particular source of capital and funds will depend on market conditions, availability of these sources, and the investment opportunities available to us.

We have used and expect to continue to use loan financing lines to finance the acquisition and accumulation of mortgage loans or other mortgage‑related assets pending their eventual securitization. Upon accumulating an appropriate amount of assets, we have financed and expect to continue to finance a substantial portion of our mortgage loans utilizing fixed rate term securitization funding that provides long‑term financing for our mortgage loans and locks in our cost of funding, regardless of future interest rate movements.

Securitizations may either take the form of the issuance of securitized bonds or the sale of “real estate mortgage investment conduit” securities backed by mortgage loans or other assets, with the securitization proceeds being used in part to repay pre-existing loan financing lines and repurchase facilities. We have sponsored and participated in securitization transactions with other entities that are managed by Angel Oak, and may continue to do so in the future, along with sponsoring sole securitization transactions.

We believe these identified sources of financing will be adequate for purposes of meeting our short‑term (within one year) and our longer‑term liquidity needs. We cannot predict with certainty the specific transactions we will undertake to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due. We will adjust our plans as appropriate in response to changes in our expectations and any potential changes in market conditions.

Description of Existing Financing Arrangements

As of September 30, 2022, we were a party to seven warehouse loan financing lines, which permitted borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $1.9 billion. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, two warehouse loan financing lines expired in accordance with their terms,

and we placed certain asset financings on other warehouse financing lines. Borrowings under warehouse loan financing lines or placed with institutional investors (in general, each a “loan financing facility”) may be used to purchase whole loans for securitization or loans purchased for long‑term investment purposes. A description of each loan financing facility in place as of September 30, 2022 is set forth as follows:

Multinational Bank 1 Loan Financing Facility. On April 13, 2022, we and two of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a multinational bank (“Multinational Bank 1”). Our subsidiaries are each considered a “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time and pursuant to the initial agreement, either of our subsidiaries may sell to Multinational Bank 1, and later repurchase, up to $340.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans, which was increased to $600.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. The master repurchase agreement was initially set to terminate on October 13, 2022, and on July 21, 2022, was extended as per the terms of the original agreement through January 20, 2023, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the master repurchase agreement.

The principal amount expected to be paid by Multinational Bank 1 for each eligible mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan or the market value of the mortgage loan (generally ranging from 80% to 90%, depending on the type of loan), whichever is less. Pursuant to the agreement, Multinational Bank 1 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole commercially reasonable discretion. The loan financing line is marked‑to‑market. Additionally, Multinational Bank 1 is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. The interest rate on any outstanding balance under the master repurchase agreement that the applicable subsidiary is required to pay Multinational Bank 1 is generally in line with other similar agreements that the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries has entered into, where the interest rate is equal to the sum of (1) a pricing spread of 1.95% and (2) the average SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined in the master repurchase agreement) beginning on April 11, 2022 and ending on the day that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date the applicable loan is repurchased by the applicable subsidiary.

The obligations of the subsidiaries under the master repurchase agreement are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty executed contemporaneously with the master repurchase agreement. In addition, and similar to other repurchase agreements that the Company has entered into, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including those relating to (1) maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth; (2) a maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth; and (3) minimum liquidity.

The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Multinational Bank 1 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Multinational Bank 1 may require us or our subsidiaries to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Multinational Bank 1’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.

We and our subsidiaries are also required to pay certain customary fees to Multinational Bank 1 and to reimburse Multinational Bank 1 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Multinational Bank 1’s structuring, management, and ongoing administration of the master repurchase agreement.

Global Investment Bank 1 Loan Financing Facility. On December 6, 2018, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a global investment bank (“Global Investment Bank 1”). We were considered the “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time, we and one of our subsidiaries amended such master repurchase agreement with Global Investment Bank 1. Pursuant to the agreement, we and our subsidiary could sell to Global Investment Bank 1, and later repurchase, up to $300.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. This agreement was set to terminate on August 5, 2022. On August 8, 2022, this agreement was extended through October 5, 2022, and interest accrued on any borrowings at a rate based on Term SOFR plus an additional spread of 1.70% - 3.50%. This agreement expired in accordance with its terms on October 5, 2022.

The principal amount paid by Global Investment Bank 1 for each eligible mortgage loan was based on a percentage of both the market value, unpaid principal balance, and acquisition price of the mortgage loan (generally ranging from 65% to 92%, depending on the type of loan and certain other factors and subject to certain other adjustments). Pursuant to the agreement, Global Investment Bank 1 retained the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral for certain mortgage loans in its sole and absolute discretion. Additionally, Global Investment Bank 1 was under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offered to sell to them. Prior to the amendment effective August 5, 2022, upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, we were, or our subsidiary was, required to repay Global Investment Bank 1 the adjusted principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate based on the sum of (1) the greater of (a) one-month LIBOR or three‑month LIBOR (depending on the type of mortgage loan) and (b) the applicable LIBOR floor, and (2) a spread generally ranging from 1.70% to 3.50% depending on the type of loan. After the August 5, 2022 amendment, “LIBOR” was replaced with “Term SOFR”.

The agreement required us to maintain various financial and other covenants, such as that: (1) adjusted tangible net worth on an aggregate basis must not be less than the sum of 50% of our adjusted tangible net worth as of the date of the agreement plus 50% of any future capital raised by us; (2) adjusted tangible net worth must not decline more than 25% in any rolling three month period or 35% in any rolling twelve month period; (3) the ratio of indebtedness to adjusted tangible net worth must not exceed 7:1; and (4) liquidity, on an aggregate basis, must exceed the greater of 5% of the aggregate purchase price and $2.0 million.

The agreement contained margin call provisions that provided Global Investment Bank 1 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Global Investment Bank 1 could require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash and/or additional eligible mortgage loans with an aggregate market value sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

In addition, the agreement contained events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, material adverse effects, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default were also customary for this type of transaction and included the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Global Investment Bank 1’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.

We and our subsidiary were also required to pay certain customary fees to Global Investment Bank 1 and to reimburse Global Investment Bank 1 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Global Investment Bank 1’s structuring, management and administration of the agreement while the agreement was in place.

Regional Bank 1 Loan Financing Facility. On December 21, 2018, we and our subsidiary entered into a master repurchase agreement with a regional bank (“Regional Bank 1”). We are considered a “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time, we and one of our subsidiaries have amended such master repurchase agreement with Regional Bank 1. Pursuant to the agreement, we or our subsidiary may sell to Regional Bank 1, and later repurchase, up to $50.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement was amended on March 7, 2022 to extend the term to March 16, 2023, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Additionally, the amendment increased the aggregate purchase price limit to $75.0 million from $50.0 million, and beginning March 8, 2022, provided that interest will accrue on any new transactions under the loan financing line at a rate based on Term SOFR (which is defined as the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for a corresponding tenor of one month) plus an additional spread.

The principal amount paid by Regional Bank 1 for each mortgage loan is based on the lesser of (1) a percentage of the original principal amount of the mortgage loan (ranging from 75% to 97%) and (2) a percentage of its take‑out commitment (97%) or $4.0 million, depending on the loan type. Pursuant to the agreement, Regional Bank 1 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole discretion. Upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, we are, or our subsidiary is, required to repay Regional Bank 1 the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate (determined based on the type of loan) equal to the sum of (1) the greater of (A) a specified minimum rate (ranging from 3.50% to 4.13%) and (B) one‑month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.50% to 3.13%, and (2) in the case of loans with maturities over 364 days, the seasoned spread of 1.0%. As discussed above, the LIBOR reference rate was changed to SOFR beginning March 8, 2022 and going forward.

The agreement requires us to maintain various financial and other covenants, which include: (1) a minimum tangible net worth of $40.0 million consolidated; (2) minimum liquidity of $5.0 million; (3) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1; and (4) we must attain positive net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as of the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2021, for the prior four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ending.

The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Regional Bank 1 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Regional Bank 1 may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash and/or additional eligible mortgage loans with an aggregate market value sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, material adverse effects, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Regional Bank 1’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.

We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Regional Bank 1 and to reimburse Regional Bank 1 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Regional Bank 1’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.

Global Investment Bank 2 Loan Financing Facility. On February 13, 2020, we and our subsidiary entered into a master repurchase agreement with a global investment bank (“Global Investment Bank 2”). We are considered a “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time, we and one of our subsidiaries have amended such master repurchase agreement with Global Investment Bank 2. Pursuant to the agreement, we or our subsidiary may sell to Global Investment Bank 2, and later repurchase, up to $250.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement, as amended previously, was set to terminate on February 11, 2022. On February 4, 2022, the agreement was amended to terminate on February 2, 2024, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

Prior to the amendment executed on February 4, 2022, the principal amount paid by Global Investment Bank 2 for each mortgage loan was based on a percentage of the market value, cost‑basis value or unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loan (generally ranging from 60% to 92%, depending on the type of loan and certain other factors and subject to certain other adjustments). Pursuant to the agreement, Global Investment Bank 2 retained the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole good faith discretion. Additionally, Global Investment Bank 2 was under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offered to sell to them. Prior to the February 4, 2022 amendment, upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, we or our subsidiary were required to repay Global Investment Bank 2 the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate (determined based on

the type of loan) equal to the sum of (1) the greater of (A) 0.00% and (B) one‑month LIBOR and (2) a spread generally ranging from 2.00% to 3.25%.

Pursuant to the amendment executed on February 4, 2022, interest will now accrue on any outstanding balance under the master repurchase agreement at a rate based on Term SOFR (which is defined as the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for a corresponding tenor of one month). Previously, interest accrued at a rate based on one-month LIBOR. Additionally, the agreement was also amended to remove any draw fees and adjust the pricing rate whereby upon the Company’s or the subsidiary’s repurchase of a mortgage loan, the Company or the subsidiary is required to repay Global Investment Bank 2 the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate (determined based on the type of loan) equal to the sum of (A) the greater of (i) 0.00% and (ii) Term SOFR (which is defined as the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for a corresponding tenor of one month) and (B) a spread generally ranging from 2.20% to 3.45%.

The agreement requires us to maintain various financial and other covenants, which include: (1) our adjusted tangible net worth must be an amount at least equal to the greater of (A) $100.0 million and (B) 20% of the maximum aggregate purchase price limit; (2) our adjusted tangible net worth on the last day of any calendar quarter shall not decline by (A) 20% or more from the adjusted tangible net worth as of the last day of the immediately prior calendar quarter or (B) 40% or more from the adjusted tangible net worth as of the last day of the calendar quarter that is twelve months prior to such calendar quarter; (3) our liquidity must at least equal the greater of (A) $5.0 million and (B) 3.0% of the outstanding purchase price for such mortgage loans transferred to Global Investment Bank 2; and (4) our indebtedness to our adjusted tangible net worth must not exceed 5.5:1.

The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Global Investment Bank 2 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value or cost‑basis value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Global Investment Bank 2 may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Global Investment Bank 2’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.

We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Global Investment Bank 2 and to reimburse Global Investment Bank 2 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Global Investment Bank 2’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.

Global Investment Bank 3 Loan Financing Facility. On March 5, 2021, we and our subsidiary entered into a master repurchase agreement with a global investment bank (“Global Investment Bank 3”). We are considered a “Seller” under this agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, we or our subsidiary may sell to Global Investment Bank 3, and later repurchase, up to $200.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement was extended on March 2, 2022 to terminate on March 5, 2023, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

The principal amount paid by Global Investment Bank 3 for each eligible mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan or the market value of the mortgage loan (generally ranging from 75% to 85%, depending on the type of loan), whichever is less. Pursuant to the agreement, Global Investment Bank 3 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole good faith discretion and in a commercially reasonable manner. The loan financing line is marked‑to‑market at fair value. Additionally, Global Investment Bank 3 is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. Prior to the January 1, 2022 amendment, upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, we were, or our subsidiary was, required to repay Global Investment Bank 3 the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued interest generally at a rate based on three‑month LIBOR plus 2.25%. On January 1, 2022, the LIBOR-based index was replaced by reference to the sum of Compounded SOFR and a SOFR adjustment of 20 basis points. Compounded SOFR is determined on a one-month basis and is defined as a daily rate as determined by Global Investment Bank 3 to be the “USD-SOFR-Compound” rate as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. definitions.

The agreement requires us to maintain various financial and other covenants, such as that: (1) our minimum tangible net worth of must not decline 20% or more in the previous 30 days, 25% or more in the previous 90 days, or 35% or more in the previous year, or fall below 50% of our tangible net worth as of September 30, 2018 plus 50% of any capital contributions made after that date; (2) our minimum liquidity must not fall below the greatest of (x) the product of 5% and the aggregate repurchase price as of such date of determination, (y) $5 million and (z) any other amount of liquidity that we have covenanted to maintain in any other note, indenture, loan agreement, guaranty, swap agreement or any other contract, agreement or transaction (including, without limitation, any repurchase agreement, loan and security agreement, or similar credit facility or agreement for borrowed funds); and (3) the maximum ratio of our and our subsidiaries’ total indebtedness to tangible net worth must not be greater than 5:1.

The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Global Investment Bank 3 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Global Investment Bank 3 may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.

In addition, the agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross‑defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Global Investment Bank 3’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.

We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Global Investment Bank 3 and to reimburse Global Investment Bank 3 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Global Investment Bank 3’s structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.

Regional Bank 2 Loan Financing Facility. On August 16, 2021, we and our subsidiaries entered into a non-mark-to-market $50.0 million committed financing facility with a regional bank (“Regional Bank 2”) through the execution of a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) and a Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note” and together with the Loan and Security Agreement, the “Facility Documents”) among those subsidiaries and Regional Bank 2. Pursuant to the Facility Documents, Regional Bank 2 agreed to make one or more advances to one or more of the subsidiaries of the Company (together, the “Borrowers”) secured by mortgage loans, notes and related collateral (the “Regional Bank 2 Financing Line”). On February 11, 2022, we amended the financing facility to increase the size of the financing facility to $75.0 million from $50.0 million. The Regional Bank 2 Financing Line terminates, and amounts outstanding under the Regional Bank 2 Financing Line will mature, on August 16, 2023, subject to certain exceptions.

The amount advanced by Regional Bank 2 for each eligible loan is based on the unpaid principal balance of the loan, the loan-to-value ratio of the loan and the FICO score of the borrower and ranges from 80.00% to 92.50% depending on the type of loan and the aforementioned criteria. Prior to the February 11, 2022 amendment, the interest rate on any outstanding balance under the Facility Documents is the greater of (1) the sum of (A) one-month LIBOR and (B) 2.30%, and (2) 3.13%. After the February 11, 2022 amendment, interest will accrue on any outstanding balance at a rate based on Term SOFR (which is defined as the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for a corresponding tenor of one month) plus a margin equal to 2.41% per annum; provided that the interest rate may not be less than 3.125% per annum.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Facility Documents are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) executed contemporaneously with the Facility Documents. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter: (1) the Company’s tangible net worth must be at least equal to $150.0 million; (2) the Company’s ratio of (A) EBITDA to (B) debt service shall be at least equal to 1.25 to 1.0 for such quarter; (3) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to total tangible net worth must not exceed 5.5 to 1.0; and (4) the Company’s liquidity must at least equal $5.0 million.

In addition, the Facility Documents contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the Facility Documents and Regional Bank 2’s right to liquidate the collateral then subject to the Facility Documents.

The Borrowers are also required to pay certain customary fees to Regional Bank 2 and to reimburse Regional Bank 2 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Regional Bank 2’s management and ongoing administration of the Regional Bank 2 Financing Line.

Multinational Bank 2 Loan Financing Facility. On September 20, 2021, we and one of our subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary”) entered into a $400.0 million repurchase facility with a multinational bank (“Multinational Bank 2”) through the execution of a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Master Repurchase Agreement”) between the Subsidiary and Multinational Bank 2. Pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement, the Subsidiary may sell certain securities to Multinational Bank 2 representing whole loan assets and later repurchase such securities from Multinational Bank 2. This agreement was set to expire on September 20, 2022. On August 23, 2022, this agreement was extended to September 30, 2022, and on September 27, 2022, this agreement was extended to October 14, 2022, on which date it expired by its terms.

The amount that was advanced by Multinational Bank 2 was generally in line with other similar agreements that the Company or one of its subsidiaries has entered into, which was a percentage of the unpaid principal balance or market value of the asset depending on the type of underlying asset. The interest rate on any outstanding balance under the Master Repurchase Agreement that the Subsidiary was required to pay Multinational Bank 2 was generally in line with other similar agreements that the Company or one of its subsidiaries has entered into, where the interest rate was equal to the sum of (1) a spread ranging from 1.70% to 3.50%, determined based on the type of underlying asset, and (2) one-month LIBOR. Additionally, Multinational Bank 2 was under no obligation to purchase the securities we offered to sell to them. On January 27, 2022, this repurchase facility was amended to state that interest would subsequently accrue on any outstanding balance at a rate based on Term SOFR (which is defined as the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for a corresponding tenor of one month) and increase the maximum purchase price permitted under the Master Repurchase Agreement to $550.0 million from $400.0 million, which was subject to reduction to $400.0 million upon the issuance of securities pursuant to a securitization of the assets underlying the Master Repurchase Agreement which occurred on February 7, 2022.

The obligations of the Subsidiary under the Master Repurchase Agreement were guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) executed contemporaneously with the Master Repurchase Agreement. In addition, and similar to other repurchase

agreements that the Company has entered into, the Company was subject to various financial and other covenants, including those relating to (1) declines in tangible net worth; (2) a maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth; and (3) minimum liquidity.

In addition, the Master Repurchase Agreement and Guaranty contained events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, insolvency and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default were also customary for this type of transaction and included the acceleration of the amounts outstanding under the Master Repurchase Agreement and Multinational Bank 2’s right to liquidate the purchased securities then subject to the Master Repurchase Agreement.

The Subsidiary was also required to pay certain customary fees to Multinational Bank 2 and to reimburse Multinational Bank 2 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with Multinational Bank 2’s management and ongoing administration of the Master Repurchase Agreement.

The following table sets forth the details of our financing lines as of each of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Total	$	1,900,000			$	906,321	$	853,408

(4) On February 4, 2022, this facility was amended to extend the initial termination date of the master repurchase agreement from February 11, 2022 to February 2, 2024; remove any draw fees; and adjust the pricing rate whereby upon the Company’s or its subsidiary’s repurchase of a mortgage loan, the Company or such subsidiary is required to repay Global Investment Bank 2 the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate (determined based on the type of loan) equal to the sum of (A) the greater of (i) 0.00% and (ii) Term SOFR and (B) a spread generally ranging from 2.20% to 3.45%. Prior to February 4, 2022, interest was based on 1-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.00% - 3.25%.

beginning March 8, 2022, provided that interest will accrue on any new transactions under the loan financing line at a rate based on Term SOFR plus an additional spread. Prior to March 7, 2022, interest was based on 1-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.50% - 3.13%.

Short‑Term Repurchase Facilities. In addition to our existing loan financing lines, we employ short‑term repurchase facilities to borrow against U.S. Treasury securities, securities issued by AOMT, Angel Oak’s securitization platform, and other securities we may acquire in accordance with our investment guidelines. The following table sets forth certain characteristics of our short-term repurchase facilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


September 30, 2022
Repurchase Agreements	Amount Outstanding		Weighted Average Interest Rate		Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (Days)
	($ in thousands)

RMBS	$	67,454	4.50	%	15
Total	$	67,454	4.50	%	15

December 31, 2021
Repurchase Agreements	Amount Outstanding		Weighted Average Interest Rate		Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (Days)
	($ in thousands)
U.S. Treasury Bills	$	248,750	0.12	%	6
RMBS	360,501		0.16	%	18
Total	$	609,251	0.15	%	13

The following table presents the amount of collateralized borrowings outstanding under repurchase facilities as of the end of each quarter, the average amount of collateralized borrowings outstanding under repurchase facilities during the quarter and the highest balance of any month end during the quarter:


Quarter End	Quarter End Balance	Average Balance in Quarter	Highest Month-End Balance in Quarter
	(in thousands)

Q3 2021	489,287	173,265	489,287
Q4 2021	609,251	206,897	609,251
Q1 2022	477,422	272,282	477,422
Q2 2022	128,365	92,598	132,629
Q3 2022	67,454	50,988	67,454

We utilize short‑term repurchase facilities on our RMBS portfolio and to finance assets for REIT asset test purposes. Over time, the need to purchase securities for REIT asset test purposes will be reduced as we obtain and participate in additional securitizations and acquire assets directly for investment purposes. We will continue to use repurchase facilities on our RMBS portfolio to add additional leverage which increases the yield on those assets. Our use of repurchase facilities is generally highest at the end of any particular quarter, as shown in the table above, where the quarter-end balance and the highest month-end balance in each quarter are generally equivalent.

Securitization Transactions

In July 2022, we were the sole participant in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, approximately 48% of which were mortgage loans originated by third parties and the remainder of which were originated by our affiliated mortgage origination companies, secured primarily by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2022-4 issued approximately $177.6 million in face value of bonds. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $152.2 million and retained cash of $2.3 million, which was used for operational purposes.

We are the sole member of the Depositor and also own and hold the call rights on the XS tranche of bonds, which is the “controlling class” of the bonds. Given the accounting rules surrounding this type of transaction, we have consolidated the AOMT 2022-4 securitization on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

In February 2022, we were the sole participant in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, approximately 56% of which were mortgage loans originated by third parties and the remainder of which were originated by our affiliated mortgage origination companies, secured primarily by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2022-1 issued approximately $551.8 million in face value of bonds. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $458.3 million and retained cash of $60.9 million, which was used to acquire additional non‑QM loans, pay down repurchase facilities, and acquire other target assets.

We are the sole member of the Depositor and also own and hold the call rights on the XS tranche of bonds, which is the “controlling class” of the bonds. Given the accounting rules surrounding this type of transaction, we have consolidated the AOMT 2022-1 securitization on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

In November 2021, we were the sole participant in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, a substantial majority of which were non‑QM loans originated by our affiliate mortgage origination companies, secured primarily by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2021-7 issued approximately $386.9 million in face value of bonds. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $331.8 million and retained cash of $39.8 million, which was used to acquire additional non‑QM loans, pay down repurchase facilities, and acquire other target assets.

We are the sole member of the Depositor and also own and hold the call rights on the XS tranche of bonds, which is the “controlling class” of the bonds. Given the accounting rules surrounding this type of transaction, we have consolidated the AOMT 2021-7 securitization on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

In August 2021, we were the sole participant in a securitization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, a substantial majority of which were non‑QM loans originated by our affiliate mortgage origination companies, secured primarily by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2021-4 issued approximately $316.6 million in face value of bonds. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $249.0 million and retained cash of $55.8 million, which was used to acquire additional non‑QM loans, pay down repurchase facilities, and acquire other target assets.

We are the sole member of the Depositor and also own and hold the call rights on the XS tranche of bonds, which is the “controlling class” of the bonds. Given the accounting rules surrounding this type of transaction, we have consolidated the securitization on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Leverage and Hedging Strategies

We finance our assets with what we believe to be a prudent amount of leverage, which will vary from time to time based upon the particular characteristics of our portfolio, availability of financing and market conditions.

Subject to qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT and maintaining our exclusion from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we expect to utilize various derivative instruments and other hedging instruments to mitigate interest rate risk, credit risk and other risks. For example, we may advantageously enter into hedging transactions with respect to interest rate exposure on one or more of our assets or liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, and options.

Cash Availability

Cash and cash equivalents

As of September 30, 2022, we held an historically lower-than-usual balance of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Although the net borrowings on our financing facilities were a net increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our available cash balance decreased as of September 30, 2022 primarily due to margin calls on our financing facilities.

Our cash balance as of September 30, 2022 was sufficient to meet our liquidity covenants under our financing facilities. We believe that we maintain sufficient cash to continue to meet margin calls on our financing facilities, should such margin calls occur. Due to market volatility, some of our cash was restricted, as further described below, by margin maintenance requirements by a whole loan financing counterparty, which restrictions were released subsequent to September 30, 2022 with the expiration of the facility by its terms. We sold certain commercial loans in the third quarter, as we deemed the market for our commercial loans to be advantageous. Our largest commercial loan is expected to be paid in full during the fourth quarter of 2022, which, if repaid as expected, would generate additional cash. We may also participate in upcoming securitizations either solely or with other Angel Oak entities. We also have the ability to leverage currently unleveraged securities or whole loan assets, if we deem those actions advisable.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of approximately $9.0 million as of September 30, 2022 was comprised of: $7.6 million in margin collateral required by a lender (as referred to above), all of which cash margin required was fully released subsequent to September 30, 2022; $0.3 million in interest rate futures margin collateral; and margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $1.1 million. Restricted cash had historically previously been solely comprised of interest rate futures margin collateral and margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Cash Flows


		Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
	(in thousands)
Cash flows used in operating activities		$	(644,278)	$	(883,722)
Cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities		$	655,093	$	(408,479)
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities		$	(33,620)	$	1,298,498
Net increase (decrease) in cash and restricted cash		$	(22,805)	$	6,297

The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities of $(644.3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $(883.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the adjustments to reconcile net income to cash for unrealized losses, partially offset by purchase of additional residential mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Investing cash flows of $655.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $(408.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily due to sales of RMBS and less purchase activity involving RMBS and CMBS during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as well as the timing of purchase and maturity activity of U.S. Treasury securities.

Financing cash flows used of $(33.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $1.3 billion provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily due to net repayments on repurchase facilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to net borrowings on repurchase facilities during the 2021 comparative period. The net repayments on repurchase facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were partially offset by proceeds from the AOMT 2022-1 and AOMT 2022-4 securitizations.

Cash Flows - Residential and Commercial Loan Classification

Residential loan activity is recognized in the statement of cash flows as an operating activity, as our residential mortgage loans are generally held for a short period of time with the intent to securitize these loans. Commercial mortgage loan activity is recognized in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity, as our commercial mortgage loan portfolio is generally deemed to be held for investing purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates is included in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2021. Management discusses the ongoing development and selection of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

We expect quarter-to-quarter GAAP earnings volatility from our business activities. This volatility can occur for a variety of reasons, particularly changes in the fair values of consolidated assets and liabilities. In addition, the amount or timing of our reported earnings may be impacted by technical accounting issues and estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
