BIMINI CAPITAL MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2021 RESULTS
VERO BEACH, Fla. (March 10, 2022) – Bimini Capital Management, Inc. (OTCBB:BMNM),
 
(“Bimini Capital,” “Bimini,” or the
“Company”) today announced results of operations for the three month period
 
ended December 31, 2021.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Highlights
Net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.05 per common share
Book value per share of $3.08
Company to discuss results on Friday, March 11, 2022, at 10:00 AM ET
Management Commentary
Commenting on the fourth quarter results, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The country and economy
appear to be on the verge of recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Stimulated by unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy, the
most significant combination of the two since the Second World War, the fading effect of the pandemic is clearly causing the economy
to run at unsustainable levels, resulting in very tight labor markets and the highest
 
level of inflation in decades. The Federal Reserve
(the “Fed”) is in the midst of a rapid transformation from accommodation to constraint
 
and will likely begin raising short-term rates at
their meeting in March of 2022.
 
Currently the market anticipates the Fed will continue to raise rates throughout
 
the year and into 2023,
possibly by as much as 200 basis points.
 
Further, they are rapidly winding down their asset purchases and will likely stop asset
purchases altogether – possibly by the end of the year – as they begin the process
 
of “normalizing” the size of their balance sheet.
 
The
effect of these developments on interest rates has been a material flattening of the U.S. Treasury curve, whereby short
 
and
intermediate term rates rise and more so relative to longer maturity U.S. Treasuries. The Russian invasion
 
of Ukraine on February 24,
2022 may cause the Fed to alter their monetary policy decisions over the course
 
of 2022. The outbreak of hostilities has raised the
threat of a more widespread war and will certainly be inflationary, especially with respect to commodities. However, given the level of
inflation and strength of the economy at present, such developments would
 
likely have to be severe in order to meaningfully impact the
path of monetary policy over the near-term.
“Orchid had another strong quarter growing its shareholders’ equity after raising
 
net proceeds of approximately $115.5 million through
its “at the market” program during the fourth quarter of 2021. Through the end
 
of 2021, Orchid has increased its shareholders’ equity by
approximately $352.8 million, or 85%.
 
As a result, Bimini Advisor’s advisory services revenue
 
increased 19% over the third quarter.
Dividend income on our shares of Orchid common stock was unchanged from the
 
third quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2020
at $0.065 per share per month. In January 2022, Orchid announced it will be reducing
 
its monthly dividend to $0.055 per share.
“The Agency RMBS portfolio at Royal Palm Capital decreased by 6%
 
during the fourth quarter of 2021, the combined effect of $2.5
million of paydowns, return of investment on the structured securities portfolio
 
of $0.2 million and $0.9 million market to market loss.
 
Prepayment activity during the quarter was 13.7 CPR for the pass-through portfolio,
 
a decline from 15.5 CPR in the third quarter, and
35.2 CPR for the structured securities portfolio, an increase from 26.9 CPR
 
for the third quarter.
 
The combined portfolio prepaid at
21.1 CPR for the fourth quarter versus 18.3 CPR during the third.
 
The pass-through securities owned by Royal Palm are
predominantly higher coupon and more seasoned, and while rates on the loans
 
underlying theses securities are still in the money and
the economic incentive to refinance is still present, we are finally seeing slower
 
speeds, or burnout. We did see some widening in
spreads of these securities as specified pool pay-ups softened late in the quarter.
 
As a result, for the fourth quarter of 2021, we

recorded the mark to market loss mentioned above of $0.8 million on our RMBS
 
pass-through holdings. The price of our Orchid shares
declined by $0.39, or $1.0 million.
“The economic developments that occurred during the fourth quarter have continued,
 
and in many cases accelerated so far in 2022.
 
Interest rates have risen materially, and the curve has continued to flatten.
 
The Fed has indicated they are poised to remove
accommodation at an accelerated pace as well. For Bimini, this means our funding
 
costs are likely to rise materially over the course of
2022 and possibly into 2023.
 
While longer-term maturities have not risen as much as short and intermediate term
 
rates, they have
risen and refinancing and purchase activity in the residential housing market
 
is likely to slow. If this occurs, it would slow premium
amortization on the Company’s Agency RMBS securities. The net effect of higher funding costs and slower
 
premium amortization will
depend on the extent and timing of both but may reduce the Company’s net interest income.
 
As always, we will be diligent in the
management of our portfolio so as to minimize the effect of rising funding costs and protect
 
the portfolio from further adverse market
moves, likely via lower leverage.”
 
 
Details of Fourth Quarter 2021 Results of Operations
The Company reported net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.05 per common share, for the
 
three-month period ended December 31, 2021.
 
As
Orchid was able to grow its capital base during the year, advisory service revenues increased approximately 66%
 
compared to the
three-month period ended December 31, 2020. Interest income on MBS and interest
 
expense on repurchase agreements were down
approximately 14% and 50%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. We recorded
 
mark-to-
market losses of approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million on our MBS portfolio
 
and Orchid stock, respectively, during the three-
month period ended December 31, 2021. The results for the quarter also
 
included operating expenses of $3.2 million.
Management of Orchid Island Capital, Inc.
Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (“Orchid”) is managed and advised by Bimini.
 
As manager, Bimini is responsible for administering Orchid’s
business activities and day-to-day operations.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement, Bimini Advisors
 
provides Orchid
with its management team, including its officers, along with appropriate support personnel.
Bimini also maintains a common stock investment in Orchid which is accounted
 
for under the fair value option, with changes in fair
value recorded in the statement of operations for the current period.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2021, Bimini’s
statement of operations included a fair value adjustment of $(1.0) million and dividends
 
of $0.5 million from its investment in Orchid
common stock.
 
Also during the three months ended December 31, 2021, Bimini recorded
 
$3.0 million in advisory services revenue for
managing Orchid’s portfolio consisting of $2.6 million of management fees and $0.4 million
 
in overhead reimbursement.
 
Capital Allocation and Return on Invested Capital
The Company allocates capital between two MBS sub-portfolios, the pass-through MBS
 
portfolio (“PT MBS”) and the structured MBS
portfolio, consisting of interest only (“IO”) and inverse interest-only (“IIO”) securities.

respective sub-portfolios during the quarter.

Effective duration of 2.103 indicates that an interest rate increase of
 
1.0% would be expected to cause a 2.103% decrease in the value of the
MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2021.
 
An effective duration of 3.309 indicates that an interest rate increase
 
of
1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.309% decrease in the value of the MBS in the
 
Company’s investment portfolio at December 31,
 
2020.

effect of the Company’s hedges. Effective duration

Financing, Leverage and Liquidity
As of December
 
31, 2021,
 
the Company
 
had outstanding
 
repurchase
 
obligations
 
of approximately
 
$58.9 million
 
with a net
 
weighted
average borrowing
 
rate of 0.14%.
 
These agreements
 
were collateralized
 
by MBS with
 
a fair value,
 
including
 
accrued interest,
 
of
approximately
 
$61.0 million,
 
and cash pledged
 
to counterparties
 
of approximately
 
$1.4 million.
 
At December
 
31, 2021,
 
the Company’s
liquidity
 
was approximately
 
$8.4 million,
 
consisting
 
of unpledged
 
MBS and cash
 
and cash equivalents.
We may pledge
 
more of our
 
structured
 
MBS as part
 
of a repurchase
 
agreement
 
funding,
 
but retain
 
cash in lieu
 
of acquiring
 
additional
assets.
 
In this way, we
 
can, at a
 
modest cost,
 
retain higher
 
levels of
 
cash on hand
 
and decrease
 
the likelihood
 
we will have
 
to sell assets
in a distressed
 
market in
 
order to
 
raise cash.
