ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (the “Company” or “Annaly”) is a Maryland corporation that commenced operations on February 18, 1997. The Company owns a portfolio of real estate related investments, including mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized mortgage obligations, Agency debentures, credit risk transfer (“CRT”) securities, other securities representing interests in or obligations backed by pools of mortgage loans, commercial real estate assets and corporate debt. The Company’s principal business objectives are to generate net income for distribution to its stockholders from its investments and capital preservation. The Company is externally managed by Annaly Management Company LLC (the “Manager”).
The Company’s business operations are primarily comprised of the following:
·
|
Annaly, the parent company, which invests primarily in Agency mortgage-backed securities and related derivatives to hedge these investments. Its portfolio also includes residential credit investments such as CRT and non-Agency mortgage-backed securities.
|
·
|
Annaly Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. (“ACREG,” formerly known as CreXus Investment Corp.), a wholly-owned subsidiary that was acquired during the second quarter of 2013 which specializes in acquiring, financing and managing commercial real estate loans and other commercial real estate debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other commercial real estate-related assets.
|
·
|
Annaly Middle Market Lending LLC (“MML,” formerly known as Charlesfort Capital Management LLC), a wholly-owned subsidiary which engages in corporate middle market lending transactions.
|
·
|
RCap Securities, Inc. (“RCap”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, which operates as a broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
|
The Company has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements not included herein.
In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments have been included for a fair presentation of this interim financial information. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company reclassified previously presented financial information so that amounts previously presented conform to the current period presentation.
The Company has evaluated all of its investments in legal entities in order to determine if they are variable interests in Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs"). A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of a VIE's expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party that (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

To assess whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, the Company considers all facts and circumstances, including the Company’s role in establishing the VIE and the Company’s ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE or have the right to unilaterally remove those decision makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities of a VIE.
To assess whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company applies significant judgment and considers all of its economic interests, including debt and equity investments and other arrangements deemed to be variable interests, both explicit and implicit, in the VIE. This assessment requires that the Company applies judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. Factors considered in assessing significance include: the design of the VIE, including its capitalization structure; subordination of interests; payment priority; relative share of interests held across various classes within the VIE’s capital structure; and the reasons why the interests are held by the Company.
The Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE causes the Company’s consolidation conclusion regarding the VIE to change.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash held in money market funds on an overnight basis and cash pledged as collateral with counterparties. Cash deposited with clearing organizations is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company also maintains collateral in the form of cash on margin with counterparties to its interest rate swaps and other derivatives. RCap is a member of various clearing organizations with which it maintains cash required to conduct its day-to-day clearance activities. Cash and securities deposited with clearing organizations and collateral held in the form of cash on margin with counterparties to the Company’s interest rate swaps and other derivatives totaled approximately $2.6 billion and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements – The Company reports various financial instruments at fair value. A complete discussion of the methodology utilized by the Company to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments is included in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition – The revenue recognition policy by asset class is discussed below.
Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities, Agency Debentures, Non-Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities and CRT Securities – The Company invests in mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized mortgage obligations and other mortgage-backed securities representing interests in or obligations backed by pools of mortgage loans and certificates guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) (collectively, “Agency mortgage-backed securities”). These Agency mortgage-backed securities may include forward contracts for Agency mortgage-backed securities purchases or sales of a generic pool, on a to-be-announced basis (“TBA securities”). The Company also invests in Agency debentures issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, as well as CRT securities. CRT securities are risk sharing instruments issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and similarly structured transactions arranged by third party market participants. CRT securities are designed to synthetically transfer mortgage credit risk from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and/or third parties to private investors. The Company also invests in non-Agency mortgage-backed securities, such as those issued in non-performing loan (“NPL”) and re-performing loan (“RPL”) securitizations.
Agency mortgage-backed securities, Agency debentures, non-Agency mortgage-backed securities and CRT securities are referred to herein as “Residential Investment Securities.” Although the Company generally intends to hold most of its Residential Investment Securities until maturity, it may, from time to time, sell any of its Residential Investment Securities as part of the overall management of its portfolio. Residential Investment Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) unless the Company has elected the fair value option, where the unrealized gains and losses on these financial instruments are recorded through earnings (e.g., interest-only securities). The fair value of Residential Investment Securities classified as available-for-sale is estimated by management and is compared to independent sources for reasonableness. Residential Investment Securities transactions are recorded on trade date, including TBA

securities that meet the regular-way securities scope exception from derivative accounting. Gains and losses on sales of Residential Investment Securities are recorded on trade date based on the specific identification method.
The Company elected the fair value option for interest-only mortgage-backed securities, non-Agency mortgage-backed securities and certain CRT securities. Interest-only securities and inverse interest-only securities are collectively referred to as “interest-only securities.” These interest-only mortgage-backed securities represent the Company’s right to receive a specified proportion of the contractual interest flows of specific mortgage-backed securities. Interest-only mortgage-backed securities, non-Agency mortgage-backed securities and certain CRT securities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as Net unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments measured at fair value through earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The interest-only securities are included in Agency mortgage-backed securities at fair value on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
The Company recognizes coupon income, which is a component of interest income, based upon the outstanding principal amounts of the Residential Investment Securities and their contractual terms. In addition, the Company amortizes or accretes premiums or discounts into interest income for its Agency mortgage-backed securities, excluding interest-only securities, considering estimates of future principal prepayment in the calculation of the effective yield because they are probable and the timing and amount of prepayments can be reasonably estimated. The Company recalculates the effective yield as differences between anticipated and actual prepayments occur. Using third-party model and market information to project future cash flows and expected remaining lives of securities, the effective interest rate determined for each security is applied as if it had been in place from the date of the security’s acquisition. The amortized cost of the investment is then adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition date. The adjustment to amortized cost is offset with a charge or credit to interest income. Changes in interest rates and other market factors will impact prepayment speed projections and the amount of premium amortization recognized in any given period.
Premiums or discounts associated with the purchase of Agency interest-only securities and residential credit securities are amortized or accreted into interest income based upon current expected future cash flows with any adjustment to yield made on a prospective basis.
Interest income for Agency debentures is recognized by applying the interest method using contractual cash flows without estimating prepayments.

(1) Changes in fair value are recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
(2) Changes in fair value are recognized in Net unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments measured at fair value through earnings on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
(3) Effective yield is recalculated for differences between estimated and actual prepayments and the amortized cost is adjusted as if the new effective yield had been applied since inception.
Equity Securities – The Company may invest in equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale or trading. Equity securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, based on market quotes, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Equity securities classified as trading are reported at fair value, based on market quotes, with unrealized gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as Net gains (losses) on trading assets. Dividends are recorded in earnings based on the declaration date.
Derivative Instruments – The Company may use a variety of derivative instruments to economically hedge some of its exposure to market risks, including interest rate and prepayment risk. These instruments include, but are not limited to, interest rate swaps, options to enter into interest rate swaps (“swaptions”), TBA contracts without intent to
7

Item 1. Financial Statements
accept delivery (“TBA derivatives”), options on TBA contracts (“MBS options”) and U.S. Treasury and Eurodollar futures contracts. The Company may also invest in other types of mortgage derivatives such as interest-only securities and synthetic total return swaps, such as the Markit IOS Synthetic Total Return Swap Index. Derivatives are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition with changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). None of the Company’s derivative transactions have been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
Some derivative agreements contain provisions that allow for netting or setting off by counterparty; however, the Company elected to present related assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Interest rate swap agreements - Interest rate swaps are the primary instrument used to mitigate interest rate risk. In particular, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changing interest rates on its repurchase agreements by economically hedging cash flows associated with these borrowings. Swap agreements may or may not be cleared through a derivatives clearing organization (“DCO”). Uncleared swaps are fair valued using internal pricing models and compared to the counterparty market values. Centrally cleared swaps are fair valued using the DCO’s market values.
Interest rate swaptions - Interest rate swaptions are purchased/sold to mitigate the potential impact of increases or decreases in interest rates. Interest rate swaptions provide the option to enter into an interest rate swap agreement for a predetermined notional amount, stated term and pay and receive interest rates in the future. They are not centrally cleared. The premium paid/received for interest rate swaptions is reported as an asset/liability in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The difference between the premium and the fair value of the swaption is reported in Net gains (losses) on trading assets in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). If a swaption expires unexercised, the realized gain (loss) on the swaption would be equal to the premium received/paid. If the Company sells or exercises a swaption, the realized gain or loss on the swaption would be equal to the difference between the cash received or the fair value of the underlying interest rate swap received and the premium paid.
The fair value of interest rate swaptions is estimated using internal pricing models and compared to the counterparty market value.
TBA Dollar Rolls - TBA dollar roll transactions are accounted for as a series of derivative transactions. The fair value of TBA derivatives is based on similar methods used to value Agency mortgage-backed securities with gains and losses recorded in Net gains (losses) on trading assets in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
MBS Options – MBS options are generally options on TBA contracts, which help manage mortgage market risks and volatility while providing the potential to enhance returns. MBS options are over-the-counter traded instruments and those written on current-coupon mortgage-backed securities are typically the most liquid. MBS options are measured at fair value using internal pricing models and compared to the counterparty market value at the valuation date with gains and losses recorded in Net gains (losses) on trading assets in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Futures Contracts - Futures contracts are derivatives that track the prices of specific assets. Short sales of futures contracts help mitigate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the portfolio performance. The Company maintains margin accounts that are settled daily with Futures Commission Merchants (“FCMs”). The margin requirement varies based on the market value of the open positions and the equity retained in the account. Futures contracts are fair valued based on exchange pricing with gains and losses recorded in Net gains (losses) on trading assets in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Repurchase Agreements – The Company finances the acquisition of a significant portion of its Agency mortgage-backed securities with repurchase agreements. The Company examines each of the specified criteria in ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, at the inception of each transaction and has determined that each of the financings meet the specified criteria in this guidance.
Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements with the same counterparty and the same maturity are presented net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition when the terms of the agreements meet the criteria to permit netting. The Company reports cash flows on repurchase agreements as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company reports cash flows on reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements entered into by RCap as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Item 1. Financial Statements
Goodwill and Intangible Assets – The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, net assets and results of operations of acquired companies are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase prices are allocated to the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Conversely, any excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price is recognized as a bargain purchase gain.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and at interim periods when events or circumstances may make it more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. If a qualitative analysis indicates that there may be an impairment, a quantitative analysis is performed. The quantitative impairment test for goodwill utilizes a two-step approach, whereby the Company compares the carrying value of each identified reporting unit to its fair value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, the second step is performed, where the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying value. The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value. An impairment of the goodwill associated with the Company’s acquisition of Fixed Income Discount Advisory Company (“FIDAC”) was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2015.
Intangible assets with an estimated useful life are amortized over their expected useful lives.
Convertible Senior Notes – The Company recorded the 4% Convertible Senior Notes and 5% Convertible Senior Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Senior Notes”) at their contractual amounts, adjusted by the effects of a beneficial conversion feature and a contingent beneficial conversion feature (collectively, the “Conversion Features”). The Conversion Features’ intrinsic value is included in “Additional paid-in capital” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and reduces the recorded liability amount associated with the Convertible Senior Notes. A Conversion Feature may be recognized as a result of adjustments to the conversion price for dividends declared to common stockholders. The 4% and 5% Convertible Senior Notes matured in February 2015 and May 2015, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation – The Company is required to measure and recognize in the consolidated financial statements the compensation cost relating to share-based
payment transactions. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT and intends to comply with the provisions of the Code, with respect thereto. Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders and as long as certain asset, income and stock ownership tests are met. The Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including FIDAC, RCap and certain subsidiaries of ACREG, have made separate joint elections to treat these subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). As such, each of these TRSs is taxable as a domestic C corporation and subject to federal, state and local income taxes based upon their taxable income.
The provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”) clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. ASC 740 also requires that interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits be recognized in the financial statements. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits that would affect its financial position. Thus, no accruals for penalties and interest were necessary as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Commercial Real Estate Investments
Commercial Real Estate Debt Investments - The Company’s commercial real estate debt investments are comprised of commercial mortgage-backed securities and loans held by consolidated collateralized financing entities. Commercial mortgage-backed securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Management evaluates commercial mortgage-backed securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly. See the “Commercial Real Estate Investments” Note for additional information regarding the consolidated collateralized financing entities.

Item 1. Financial Statements
Commercial Real Estate Loans – The Company's commercial real estate loans are comprised of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. The Company designates loans as held for investment if it has the intent and ability to hold the loans until maturity or payoff. The difference between the principal amount of a loan and proceeds at acquisition is recorded as either a discount or premium. Commercial real estate loans that are designated as held for investment and are originated or purchased by the Company are carried at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized origination fees and costs, premiums or discounts, less a reserve for estimated losses if necessary.
If the Company intends to sell or securitize the loans and the financing vehicle is not expected to be consolidated, they are classified as held for sale. Commercial real estate loans that are designated as held for sale are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value and recorded as Loans held for sale in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Any origination fees and costs or purchase premiums or discounts are deferred and recognized upon sale. The Company determines the fair value of commercial real estate loans held for sale on an individual loan basis. The Company has elected the fair value option for multi-family mortgage loans held in securitization trusts that it was required to consolidate. Preferred equity interests are designated as held for investment and are carried at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized origination fees and costs, premiums or discounts, less a reserve for estimated losses if necessary. See “Commercial Real Estate Investments” Note for additional information.
Investments in Commercial Real Estate – Investments in commercial real estate are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes all costs necessary to bring the asset to the condition and location necessary for its intended use, including financing during the construction period. Costs directly related to acquisitions deemed to be business combinations are expensed. Ordinary repairs and maintenance which are not reimbursed by tenants are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life.
Investments in commercial real estate are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, summarized as follows:

The Company follows the acquisition method of accounting for acquisitions of operating real estate held for investment, where the purchase price of operating real estate is allocated to tangible assets such as land, building, site improvements and other identified intangibles such as above/below market and in-place leases.
The Company applies the equity method of accounting for its investments in joint ventures where it is not considered to have a controlling financial interest. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company will recognize its share of earnings or losses of the investee in the period in which they are reported by the investee. The Company also considers whether there are any indicators of other-than-temporary impairment of joint ventures accounted for under the equity method.
The Company evaluates whether real estate acquired in connection with a foreclosure (“REO”) or UCC/deed in lieu of foreclosure (herein collectively referred to as a foreclosure) constitutes a business and whether business combination accounting is applicable. Upon foreclosure of a property, the excess of the carrying value of a loan, if any, over the estimated fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell, is charged to provision for loan losses.
Investments in commercial real estate, including REO, that do not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale are separately presented in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as held for investment. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Once a property is determined to be held for sale, depreciation is no longer recorded.
The Company's real estate portfolio (REO and real estate held for investment) is reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value of its operating real estate may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. A property's value is considered impaired if the Company's estimate of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. In conducting this review, the Company considers U.S. macroeconomic factors, including real estate sector conditions, together with asset specific and other factors. To the extent impairment has occurred and is considered to be other than temporary, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the calculated fair value of the property.

Item 1. Financial Statements
Revenue Recognition – Commercial Real Estate Investments - Interest income is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount of the commercial real estate loans and preferred equity interests held for investment (collectively referred to as “CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments”) and their contractual terms. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments are amortized or accreted into interest income over the projected lives of the CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments using the interest method.
Corporate Debt
Corporate Loans – The Company’s investments in corporate debt that are loans are designated as held for investment when the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investment until maturity or payoff. These investments are carried at their principal balance outstanding plus any premiums or discounts less allowances for loan losses. Interest income from coupon payments is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amounts of the debt and its contractual terms. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income using the interest method. These investments typically take the form of senior secured loans primarily in first lien and second lien loans. The Company’s senior secured loans generally have stated maturities of three to eight years. In connection with these senior secured loans the Company receives a security interest in certain of the assets of the borrower and such assets support repayment of such loans. Senior secured loans are generally exposed to the least amount of credit risk given their seniority to scheduled principal and interest and priority of security in the assets of the borrower. To date, the majority of the Company’s investments have been funded term loans versus debt securities.
Corporate Debt Securities – The Company’s investments in corporate debt securities are designated as held-to-maturity when the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments until maturity. These investments are carried at their principal balance outstanding plus any premiums or discounts less other-than-temporary impairment. Interest income from coupon payments is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amounts of the debt and its contractual terms. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income using the interest method.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment – Management evaluates available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. When the fair value of an available-for-sale security is less
than its amortized cost, the security is considered impaired. For available-for-sale securities that are impaired, the Company determines if it (1) has the intent to sell the security, (2) is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Further, the security is analyzed for credit loss (the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis). The credit loss, if any, will then be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), while the balance of losses related to other factors will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). If the fair value is less than the cost of a held-to-maturity security, the Company performs an analysis to determine whether it expects to recover the entire cost basis of the security. There was no other-than-temporary impairment recognized for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Allowance for Losses – The Company evaluates the need for a loss reserve on its CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments and its corporate loans. A provision for losses related to CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments and corporate loans, including those accounted for under ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, may be established when it is probable the Company will not collect amounts contractually due or all amounts previously estimated to be collectable. Management assesses the credit quality of the portfolio and adequacy of loan loss reserves on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. Depending on the expected recovery of its investment, the Company considers the estimated net recoverable value of the CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the prospects for the borrower and the competitive landscape where the borrower conducts business. To determine if loan loss allowances are required on investments in corporate debt, the Company reviews the monthly and/or quarterly financial statements of the borrowers, verifies loan compliance packages if applicable and analyzes current results relative to budgets and sensitivities performed at inception of the investment. Because these determinations are based upon projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amounts ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the reporting date.
The Company may be exposed to various levels of credit risk depending on the nature of its investments and credit enhancements, if any, supporting its assets. The Company’s core investment process includes procedures related to the initial approval and periodic monitoring of credit risk and other risks associated with each investment.

ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 1. Financial Statements
Item 1. Financial Statements
The Company’s investment underwriting procedures include evaluation of the underlying borrowers’ ability to manage and operate their respective properties or companies. Management reviews loan-to-value metrics upon either the origination or the acquisition of a new investment but generally does not update the loan-to-value metrics in the course of quarterly surveillance. Management generally reviews the most recent financial information produced by the borrower, which may include, but is not limited to, net operating income (“NOI”), debt service coverage ratios, property debt yields (net cash flow or NOI divided by the amount of outstanding indebtedness), loan per unit and rent rolls relating to each of the Company’s CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments, and may consider other factors management deems important. Management also reviews market pricing to determine each borrower’s ability to refinance their respective assets at the maturity of each loan. Management also reviews economic trends, both macro and those affecting the property specifically, and the supply and demand of competing projects in the sub-market in which each subject property is located. Management monitors the financial condition and operating results of its corporate borrowers and continually assesses the future outlook of the borrower’s financial performance in light of industry developments, management changes and company-specific considerations.
In connection with the quarterly surveillance review process, CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments are assigned an internal risk rating. Effective December 31, 2015, the loan risk ratings were enhanced and considered guidance provided by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for commercial real estate lending. The initial internal risk ratings (“Initial Ratings”) are based on loan-to-values and the NOI debt yields of the underlying collateral of the Company’s CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments and based upon leverage and cash flow coverages of the borrowers’ debt and operating obligations. The final internal risk ratings are influenced by other quantitative and qualitative factors that can result in an adjustment to the Initial Ratings, subject to review and approval by the respective committee. The internal risk rating categories include “Performing”, “Performing - Closely Monitored”, “Performing - Special Mention”, “Substandard”, “Doubtful” or “Loss”. Performing loans meet all present contractual obligations. Performing - Closely Monitored loans meet all present contractual obligations, are transitional or could be exhibiting some weakness in both leverage and liquidity. Performing - Special Mention loans meet all present contractual obligations, but exhibit potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention and if uncorrected, may
result in deterioration of repayment prospects. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged with a distinct possibility that loss will be sustained if some of the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful loans are Substandard loans whereby collection of all contractual principal and interest is highly questionable or improbable. Loss loans are considered uncollectible. The presentation of prior period internal risk ratings have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company did not have any impaired loans, nonaccrual loans, or loans in default as all of the loans were performing as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Accordingly, no allowance for loan losses was deemed necessary as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Broker Dealer Activities
In January 2014, RCap ceased its trading activity in U.S. Treasury securities, derivatives and securities borrowed and loaned transactions.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements – RCap enters into reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements as part of its matched book trading activity. Reverse repurchase agreements are recorded on settlement date at the contract amount and are collateralized by mortgage-backed or other securities. Margin calls are made by RCap as necessary based on the daily valuation of the underlying collateral as compared to the contract price. RCap generates income from the spread between what is earned on the reverse repurchase agreements and what is paid on the matched repurchase agreements. RCap’s policy is to obtain possession of collateral with a market value in excess of the principal amount loaned under reverse repurchase agreements. To ensure that the market value of the underlying collateral remains sufficient, collateral is valued daily, and RCap requires counterparties to deposit additional collateral, when necessary. All reverse repurchase activities are transacted under master repurchase agreements that give RCap the right, in the event of default, to liquidate collateral held and in some instances, to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. Substantially all of RCap’s reverse repurchase activity is with affiliated entities.

(1) Excludes interest-only mortgage-backed securities.
The decline in value of these securities is solely due to market conditions and not the quality of the assets. Substantially all of the Agency mortgage-backed securities are “AAA” rated or carry an implied “AAA” rating. The investments are not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired because the Company currently has the ability and intent to hold the investments to maturity or for a period of time sufficient for a forecasted market price recovery up to or beyond the cost of the investments, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of the amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. Also, the Company is guaranteed payment of the principal amount of the securities by the respective issuing government agency.
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company disposed of $1.8 billion and $5.2 billion of Residential Investment Securities, respectively, resulting in a net realized gain of $11.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively.
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company disposed of $2.5 billion and $17.4 billion of Residential Investment Securities, respectively, resulting in a net realized gain of $3.9 million and $66.3, respectively.

Internal CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investment Ratings
The Company’s internal loan risk ratings are based on the guidance provided by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for commercial real estate lending. The Company’s internal risk rating categories include “Performing”, “Performing - Closely Monitored”, “Performing - Special Mention”, “Substandard”, “Doubtful” or “Loss”. Performing loans meet all present contractual obligations. Performing - Closely Monitored loans meet all present contractual obligations, are transitional or could be exhibiting some weakness in both leverage and liquidity. Performing - Special Mention loans meet all present contractual obligations, but exhibit potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention and if uncorrected, may result in deterioration of repayment prospects. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by sound
worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged with a distinct possibility that loss will be sustained if some of the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful loans are Substandard loans whereby collection of all contractual principal and interest is highly questionable or improbable. Loss loans are considered uncollectible. The presentation of prior period internal risk ratings have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company did not have any impaired loans, nonaccrual loans, or loans in default as all of the loans were performing as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Accordingly, no allowance for loan losses was deemed necessary as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Securitization
In January 2014, the Company closed NLY Commercial Mortgage Trust 2014-FL1 (the “Trust”), a $399.5 million securitization financing transaction which provides permanent, non-recourse financing collateralized by floating-rate first mortgage debt investments originated or co-originated by the Company and is not subject to margin calls. A total of $260.7 million of investment grade bonds were issued by the Trust, representing an advance rate of 65.3% at a weighted average coupon of LIBOR plus 1.74% at closing. The Company used the proceeds to originate commercial real estate investments. The Company retained bonds rated below investment grade and the interest-only bond issued by the Trust, which are referred to as the subordinate bonds.
The Company incurred approximately $4.3 million of costs in connection with the securitization that have been capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense. Deferred financing costs are included in Securitized debt of consolidated VIEs in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
As of June 30, 2016 the carrying value of the Trust’s assets was $187.2 million, net of $0.1 million of unamortized origination fees, which are included in Commercial real estate debt and preferred equity in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As of June 30, 2016, the carrying value of the Trust’s liabilities was $59.3 million, net of $0.1 million of deferred financing costs, classified as Securitized debt of consolidated VIEs in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
In February 2015, the Company purchased the junior-most tranche, Class C Certificate of the Freddie Mac
securitization, FREMF Mortgage Trust 2015-KLSF (“FREMF 2015-KLSF”) for $102.1 million. The underlying portfolio is a pool of 11 floating rate multifamily mortgage loans with a cut-off principal balance of $1.4 billion. The Company was required to consolidate the FREMF 2015-KLSF Trust’s assets and liabilities of $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2016.
In April 2015, the Company purchased the junior-most tranche, Class C Certificate of the Freddie Mac securitization, FREMF Mortgage Trust 2015-KF07 (“FREMF 2015-KF07”) for $89.4 million. The underlying portfolio is a pool of 40 floating rate multifamily mortgage loans with a cut-off principal balance of $1.2 billion. The Company was required to consolidate the FREMF 2015-KF07 Trust’s assets and liabilities of $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2016.
In February 2016, the Company purchased the junior-most tranche, Class C Certificate of the Freddie Mac securitization, FREM Mortgage Trust 2016-KLH1 (“FREM 2016-KLH1”) for $107.6 million, net of a $4.4 million discount to face value of $112.0 million. The underlying portfolio is a pool of 28 floating rate multifamily mortgage loans with a cut-off principal balance of $1.5 billion. The Company was required to consolidate the FREM 2016-KLH1 Trust’s assets and liabilities of $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2016. FREMF 2015-KLSF, FREMF 2015-KF07 and FREM 2016-KLH1 are collectively referred to herein as the FREMF Trusts.
The FREMF Trusts are structured as pass-through entities that receive principal and interest on the underlying collateral and distribute those payments to the certificate holders. The FREMF Trusts are VIEs and the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary as a result of its ability to replace the special servicer without cause through its ownership of the Class C

Certificates and its current designation as the directing certificate holder. The Company’s exposure to the obligations of the VIEs is generally limited to the Company’s investment in the FREMF Trusts of $298.2 million at June 30, 2016. Assets of the FREMF Trusts may only be used to settle obligations of the FREMF Trusts. Creditors of the FREMF Trusts have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company is not contractually required to provide and has not provided any form of financial support to the FREMF Trusts. No gain or loss was recognized upon initial consolidation of the FREMF Trusts, but $0.2 million and $0.8 million of related costs were expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The FREMF Trusts’ assets are included in Commercial real estate debt investments and the FREMF Trusts’ liabilities are included in Securitized debt of consolidated VIEs in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Upon consolidation, the Company elected the fair value option for the financial assets and liabilities of the FREMF Trusts in order to avoid an accounting mismatch, and to more accurately represent the economics of its interest in the entities. The fair value option requires that changes in fair value be reflected in
the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company has adopted ASU 2014-13 and applied the practical expedient fair value measurement whereby the Company determines whether the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities is more observable as a basis for measuring the less observable financial instruments. The Company has determined that the fair value of the financial liabilities of the FREMF Trusts is more observable, since the prices for these liabilities are primarily available from third-party pricing services utilized for multifamily mortgage-backed securities, while the fair value of the individual assets of the trusts are inherently less capable of precise measurement given their illiquid nature and the limitations on available information related to these assets. Given that the Company’s methodology for valuing the financial assets of the FREMF Trusts is an aggregate fair value derived from the fair value of the financial liabilities, the Company has determined that the fair value of each of the financial assets in their entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.
The statement of financial condition of the FREMF Trusts that is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

In June 2016, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”) entered into a $300.0 million credit facility with a third party financial institution. As of June 30, 2016, the Borrower had not drawn on the credit facility.
The Company follows fair value guidance in accordance with GAAP to account for its financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
GAAP requires classification of financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition or disclosed in the related notes are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1– inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value.
The Company designates its financial instruments as trading, available for sale or held to maturity depending upon the type of instrument and the Company’s intent and ability to hold such instrument to maturity. Instruments classified as available for sale and trading are reported at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments carried at fair value. These methodologies are applied to assets and liabilities across the three-level fair value hierarchy, with the observability of inputs determining the appropriate level.
Futures contracts are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Residential Investment Securities, interest rate swaps, swaptions and other derivatives are valued using quoted prices or internally estimated prices for similar assets using internal models. The Company incorporates common market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to the Treasury curve as well as underlying characteristics of the particular security including coupon, prepayment speeds, periodic and life caps, rate reset period and expected life of the security in its estimates of fair value. Management reviews and

indirectly corroborates its estimates of the fair value derived using internal models by comparing its results to independent prices provided by dealers in the securities and/or third party pricing services. Certain liquid asset classes, such as Agency fixed-rate pass-throughs, may be priced using independent sources such as quoted prices for TBA securities.
The Residential Investment Securities, interest rate swap and swaption markets are considered to be active markets such that participants transact with sufficient frequency and volume to provide transparent pricing information on an ongoing basis. The liquidity of the Residential Investment Securities, interest rate swaps, swaptions, TBA derivatives and MBS options markets
and the similarity of the Company’s securities to those actively traded enable the Company to observe quoted prices in the market and utilize those prices as a basis for formulating fair value measurements. Consequently, the Company has classified Residential Investment Securities, interest rate swaps, swaptions, TBA derivatives and MBS options as Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, as discussed in the “Commercial Real Estate Investments” Note, Commercial real estate debt investments carried at fair value are classified as Level 2.
The following table presents the estimated fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the financial statements, for which it is practical to estimate the value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based upon discounted cash flows using market yields, methodologies that incorporate market-based transactions or other valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values. Accordingly, fair values are not necessarily indicative of
the amount the Company would realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements and other secured financing whose term is less than twelve months, generally approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
25

Item 1. Financial Statements
The estimated fair value of commercial real estate debt and preferred equity investments takes into consideration changes in credit spreads and interest rates from the date of origination or purchase to the reporting date. The fair value also reflects consideration of asset-specific maturity dates and other items that could have an impact on the fair value as of the reporting date.
Estimates of fair value of corporate debt require the use of judgments and inputs including, but not limited to, the enterprise value of the borrower (i.e., an estimate of the total fair value of the borrower's debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the borrower’s ability to make payments when due and its earnings history. Management also considers factors that affect the macro and local economic markets in which the borrower operates.
The fair value of repurchase agreements with remaining maturities greater than one year or with embedded optionality are valued as structured notes, with term to
maturity, LIBOR rates and the Treasury curve being primary determinants of estimated fair value.
The fair value of mortgages payable is calculated using the estimated yield of a new par loan to value the remaining terms in place. A par loan is created using the identical terms of the existing loan; however, the coupon is derived by using the original spread against the interpolated Treasury. The fair value of mortgages payable also reflects consideration of the value of the underlying collateral and changes in credit risk from the time the debt was originated.
The carrying value of participation sold is based on the loan’s amortized cost. The fair value of participation sold is based on the fair value of the underlying related commercial loan.
The fair value of securitized debt of consolidated VIEs is determined using the average of external vendor pricing services.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value for financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Financial instruments pledged as collateral under secured financing arrangements and interest rate swaps had an estimated fair value and accrued interest of $61.8 billion and $187.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016 and $62.3 billion and $171.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015.
In connection with the Company’s investment/market rate risk management strategy, the Company economically hedges a portion of its interest rate risk by entering into derivative financial instrument contracts, which include interest rate swaps, swaptions and futures contracts. The Company may also enter into TBA derivatives, MBS options and U.S. Treasury or Eurodollar futures contracts to economically hedge its exposure to market risks. The purpose of using
derivatives is to manage overall portfolio risk with the potential to generate additional income for distribution to stockholders. These derivatives are subject to changes in market values resulting from changes in interest rates, volatility, Agency mortgage-backed security spreads to U.S. Treasuries and market liquidity. The use of derivatives also creates exposure to credit risk relating to potential losses that could be recognized if the counterparties to these instruments fail to perform their obligations under the stated contract. Additionally, the Company may have to pledge cash or assets as collateral for the derivative transactions, the amount of which may vary based on the market value, notional amount and remaining term of the derivative contract. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Company could have difficulty obtaining its Residential Investment Securities pledged as collateral as well as receiving payments in accordance with the terms of the derivative contracts.

Options to purchase 1.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding and considered anti-dilutive as their exercise price and option expense exceeded the average stock price for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
Options to purchase 2.0 million shares of common stock were outstanding and considered anti-dilutive as their exercise price and option expense exceeded the average stock price for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.
The Company adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to grant options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, or other share-based awards, including restricted shares up to an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments as provided in the 2010 Equity Incentive
Plan. The Company had previously adopted a long term stock incentive plan for executive officers, key employees and non-employee directors (the “Prior Plan”). The Prior Plan authorized the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to grant awards, including non-qualified options as well as incentive stock options as defined under Section 422 of the Code. The Prior Plan authorized the granting of options or other awards for an aggregate of the greater of 500,000 shares or 9.5% of the diluted outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, up to a ceiling of 8,932,921 shares. No further awards will be made under the Prior Plan, although existing awards remain effective.
Stock options were issued at the market price on the date of grant, subject to an immediate or four year vesting in four equal installments with a contractual term of 5 or 10 years.
The following table sets forth activity related to the Company’s stock options awarded under the Plan:

The weighted average remaining contractual term was approximately 2.0 years and 2.6 years for stock options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation awards.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016 the Company was qualified to be taxed as a REIT under Code Sections 856 through 860. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its taxable income to its stockholders. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements such as assets it may hold, income it may generate and its stockholder composition. It is generally the Company’s policy to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income. To the extent there is any undistributed REIT taxable income at the end of a year, the Company distributes such shortfall within the next year as permitted by the Code. For years prior to 2013, the Company retained the amount of taxable income attributable to certain employee remuneration deductions disallowed for tax purposes pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code (“Section 162(m)”). As a result of the externalization of management effective as of July 1, 2013, the Company was not subject to the Section 162(m) disallowance for the 2013 tax year.
The state and local tax jurisdictions for which the Company is subject to tax-filing obligations recognize
the Company’s status as a REIT, and therefore, the Company generally does not pay income tax in such jurisdictions. The Company may, however, be subject to certain minimum state and local tax filing fees as well as certain excise, franchise or business taxes. The Company’s TRSs are subject to federal, state and local taxes.
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of income tax benefit for losses attributable to its TRSs. During both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a net income tax benefit of $7.7 million for losses attributable to its TRSs.
The Company’s federal, state and local tax returns from 2012 and forward remain open for examination.
Commitments
The Company had a non-cancelable lease for office space which commenced in May 2002 and expired in December 2014. In September 2014, the Company entered into a non-cancelable lease for office space which commenced in July 2014 and expires in September 2025. FIDAC has a lease for office space which commenced in October 2010 and expired in February 2016. The lease expense for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.8 million. The Company’s aggregate future minimum lease payments totaled $34.5 million. The following table details the future lease payments.

The Company had no material unfunded loan commitments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. There were no material contingencies as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
The primary risks to the Company are liquidity, investment/market risk and credit risk. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond the Company’s control. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on Interest Earning Assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with the Interest Bearing Liabilities and hedges, by affecting the spread between the Interest Earning Assets and Interest Bearing Liabilities. Changes in the level of interest rates can also affect the value of the Interest Earning Assets and the Company’s ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets. A decline in the value of the Interest Earning Assets pledged as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements and derivative contracts could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels.
The Company may seek to mitigate the potential financial impact by entering into interest rate agreements such as interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions and other hedges.
Weakness in the mortgage market, the shape of the yield curve and changes in the expectations for the path and volatility of future interest rates may adversely affect the performance and market value of the Company’s investments. This could negatively impact the Company’s book value. Furthermore, if the Company’s
lenders are unwilling or unable to provide additional financing, the Company could be forced to sell its Residential Investment Securities and commercial real estate investments at an inopportune time when prices are depressed. The Company has established policies and procedures for mitigating risks, including conducting scenario analyses and utilizing a range of hedging strategies.
The payment of principal and interest on the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae Agency mortgage-backed securities, excluding CRT securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are guaranteed by those respective agencies and the payment of principal and interest on Ginnie Mae Agency mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Principal and interest on Agency debentures are guaranteed by the Agency issuing the debenture. The majority of the Company’s Residential Investment Securities have an actual or implied “AAA” rating.
The Company faces credit risk on the portions of its portfolio which are not guaranteed by the respective Agency or by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The Company is exposed to credit risk on CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments, investments in commercial real estate, commercial mortgage-backed securities, CRT securities, other non-Agency mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt. The Company is exposed to risk of loss if an issuer, borrower, tenant or counterparty fails to perform its obligations under contractual terms. The Company has established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk, including reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure, limiting transactions with specific counterparties, maintaining qualifying collateral and periodically assessing the creditworthiness of issuers, borrowers, tenants and counterparties.
RCap is subject to regulations of the securities business that include but are not limited to trade practices, use and safekeeping of funds and securities, capital structure, recordkeeping and conduct of directors, officers and employees.

Investment in Affiliate and Advisory Fees
In August 2015, FIDAC entered into an agreement with Chimera Investment Corporation (“Chimera”) to internalize the management of Chimera. As part of the agreement, the companies agreed to terminate the management agreement between FIDAC and Chimera effective August 5, 2015.
In connection with the transaction, Annaly and Chimera entered into a share repurchase agreement pursuant to which Chimera purchased the Company’s approximately 9.0 million shares of Chimera at an aggregate price of $126.4 million. The share repurchase agreement closed in August 2015.
For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not record any advisory fees. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded advisory fees from Chimera totaling $10.6 million and $21.1 million, respectively. In August 2014, the management agreement between FIDAC and Chimera was amended and restated to amend certain of the terms and conditions of the prior agreement. Among other amendments to the terms of the prior agreement, effective August 8, 2014, the management fee was increased from 0.75% to 1.20% of Chimera’s gross stockholders’ equity (as defined in the amended and restated management agreement).
Management Agreement
The Company and the Manager have entered into a management agreement pursuant to which the Company’s management is conducted by the Manager through the authority delegated to it in the Management Agreement and pursuant to the policies established by the Board (the “Externalization”). The management agreement was effective as of July 1, 2013 and applicable for the entire 2013 calendar year and was subsequently amended on November 5, 2014 and April
11, 2016 (the management agreement, as amended, is referred to as “Management Agreement”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company pays the Manager a monthly management fee in an amount equal to 1/12th of 1.05% of stockholders’ equity, as defined in the Management Agreement, for its management services. For the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the compensation and management fee was $36.0 million and $37.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the compensation and management fee was $73.0 million and $75.6 million, respectively. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had amounts payable to the Manager of $11.9 million and $12.1 million, respectively.
The Management Agreement provides for a two year term ending December 31, 2016 with automatic two-year renewals unless at least two-thirds of the Company’s independent directors or the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock elect to terminate the agreement in their sole discretion for any or no reason. At any time during the term or any renewal term the Company may deliver to the Manager written notice of the Company’s intention to terminate the Management Agreement. The Company must designate a date not less than one year from the date of the notice on which the Management Agreement will terminate. The Management Agreement also provides that the Manager may terminate the Management Agreement by providing to the Company prior written notice of its intention to terminate the Management Agreement no less than one year prior to the date designated by the Manager on which the Manager would cease to provide services or such earlier date as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
The Company has a limited number of employees following the Externalization, all of whom are employees of the Company’s subsidiaries for regulatory or corporate efficiency reasons. All compensation expenses associated with such retained employees reduce the amount paid to the Manager.
The Management Agreement may be amended or modified by agreement between the Company and the Manager. There is no termination fee for a termination of the Management Agreement by either the Company or the Manager.
Acquisition of Hatteras Financial Corp.

Item 1. Financial Statements
Item 1. Financial Statements
As previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, on July 12, 2016 the Company completed its acquisition of Hatteras Financial Corp. (“Hatteras” and such acquisition, the “Hatteras Acquisition”), an externally managed mortgage REIT that invests primarily in single-family residential mortgage real estate assets, for aggregate consideration to Hatteras common shareholders of approximately $1.5 billion. The Company issued 93.9 million shares of common shares as part of the consideration for the Hatteras Acquisition.
On July 11, 2016 the Company obtained a controlling financial interest in Hatteras as 74.12% of Hatteras’ outstanding shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn from the Offer. In accordance with Maryland law, the Merger was consummated on July 12, 2016 and Hatteras became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, as part of the Hatteras Acquisition, each share of Hatteras 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Hatteras Preferred Share”), that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the completion of the Hatteras Acquisition was converted into one share of a newly-designated series of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, which the Company classified and designated as 7.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and which has rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers substantially the same as a Hatteras Preferred Share.
Prior to closing the Hatteras Acquisition, each of Hatteras and the Company declared a prorated dividend to their respective shareholders with a record date of July 11, 2016. Each of the dividends was prorated based on the number of days that elapsed since the record date for the most recent quarterly dividend paid to Hatteras and the Company’s shareholders, respectively, and the amount of such prior quarterly dividend, as applicable.
In addition, in connection with the closing of the Hatteras Acquisition, the management agreement between Hatteras and its external manager, Atlantic Capital Advisors LLC (“ACA”) terminated, and as a result of such termination, Hatteras paid ACA a termination fee of $45.4 million.
Hatteras’ portfolio of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities is expected to be complementary to the Company’s existing portfolio which is comprised primarily of fixed rate-mortgage-backed securities, the combined capital base is expected to support continued growth of the Company’s businesses and the acquisition is expected to create efficiency and growth opportunities.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, merger-related transaction costs (such as advisory, legal, valuation and other professional fees) are not included as components of consideration transferred but are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. Transaction costs of $2.2 million were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and were included in other general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Also, in connection with the Hatteras Acquisition, the Company entered into consulting agreements with certain former employees of Hatteras. The consulting agreements provide for monthly consulting fees totaling $0.7 million during a consulting period ending on the 30-month anniversary of the Hatteras Acquisition closing date. Considering the proximity of the closing of the Hatteras Acquisition, additional disclosures required under ASC 805, Business Combinations, will be provided in the Company’s next quarterly filing.
For additional details regarding the terms and conditions of the Hatteras Acquisition and related matters, please refer to the Company’s other filings with the SEC that were made in connection with the Hatteras Acquisition, including the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on July 8, 2016 and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 12, 2016.

For a full discussion of our business, refer to the section titled “Business Overview” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC, the acquisition of Hatteras Financial Corp. (or Hatteras and such acquisition, the Hatteras Acquisition), an externally managed mortgage REIT that invests primarily in single-family residential mortgage real estate assets, closed on July 12, 2016 for an aggregate consideration to Hatteras common shareholders of approximately $1.5 billion. Annaly issued 93.9 million shares of common shares as part of the consideration for the Hatteras Acquisition.
In addition, as part of the Hatteras Acquisition, each share of Hatteras 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (or Hatteras Preferred Share), that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the completion of the Hatteras Acquisition was converted into one share of a newly-designated series of Annaly’s preferred stock, par value
$0.01 per share, which we classified and designated as 7.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and which has rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers substantially the same as a Hatteras Preferred Share.
Prior to closing the Hatteras Acquisition, each of Hatteras and Annaly declared a prorated dividend to their respective shareholders with a record date of July 11, 2016. Each of the dividends was prorated based on the number of days that elapsed since the record date for the most recent quarterly dividend paid to Hatteras and Annaly’s shareholders, respectively, and the amount of such prior quarterly dividend, as applicable.
In addition, in connection with the closing of the Hatteras Acquisition, the management agreement between Hatteras and its external manager, Atlantic Capital Advisors LLC (or ACA) terminated, and as a result of such termination, Hatteras paid ACA a termination fee of $45.4 million.

ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For additional details regarding the terms and conditions of the Hatteras Acquisition and related matters, please refer to our other filings with the SEC that were made in connection with the Hatteras Acquisition, including the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on July 8, 2016 and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 12, 2016.
Similar to the first quarter of 2016, the aggregate size of our residential investment securities portfolio and commercial real estate investments remained roughly unchanged in the second quarter of 2016 ahead of finalizing the acquisition of the Hatteras portfolio. The second quarter of 2016 witnessed the unexpected United Kingdom (or UK) referendum result as a tremendous inflection point across financial markets, resulting in the decline of 10-year Treasury yields below 1.5%. In light of this environment of increased uncertainty, we continue to improve the quality of collateral held in the portfolio to counteract increased prepayment concerns at such low rate levels. In addition, we remain cautious with regard to portfolio positioning and leverage.
Through the second quarter of 2016, investors continued to face a low growth, low inflation environment in which asset prices were supported by unprecedented central bank accommodation. Within this fragile global growth environment, financial markets remained vulnerable to shocks, highlighted by geopolitical risks domestically and abroad. Early readings of second quarter 2016 economic growth, as measured by real gross domestic product (or GDP) according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, suggest that the U.S. economy expanded at a weak seasonally-adjusted annualized rate of 1.2%, compared to 0.8% in the first quarter of 2016. This slight bounce back in economic activity was on the back of a return of consumer spending to the recent trend, driven by continued job and wage growth. The report was weak throughout all other sectors, with business and residential investment, government spending and inventories detracting, and net trade a modest positive. However, the drawdown of inventories subtracted an abnormally large (1.2%) off of the second quarter of 2016 GDP after a (0.4%) impact in
first quarter of 2016, which is likely to be reversed as a boost to second half growth.
Amidst the modest increase in growth pace, unemployment fell slightly during the second quarter of 2016. The pace of hiring slowed, as the economy added 147,000 jobs per month during the second quarter of 2016 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, below the monthly average of 196,000 in the first quarter of 2016. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.9% from 5.0%, largely due to people dropping out of the labor force. Wage growth, meanwhile, showed more progress, as the median wage increased 3.6% year-over-year in June 2016, according to the Atlanta Fed, up from 3.2% in March 2016.
Realized inflation remained below the Fed’s 2% target as measured by their official target, the headline Personal Consumer Expenditure Chain Price Index (or PCE), which rose 0.9% year-over-year in May 2016 compared to 0.8% in March 2016. The more stable core PCE measure, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 1.6% year-over-year, also roughly even to the rise in March 2016. Despite a modest upward trend in realized inflation in recent months, both market- and survey-based measures of inflation expectations fell during the quarter, providing the Fed with more time in its rate hike cycle than what would be anticipated by the realized inflation figures alone.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Federal Open Market Committee (or FOMC) maintained the federal funds rate target at a range of ¼ to ½ percent, while simultaneously reinvesting the runoff of its portfolio of U.S. Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities. At their meeting on April 27, 2016, the Fed held steady while releasing a measured statement, noting labor market progress and a slowing in growth. However, the Minutes for the meeting, released on May 18, 2016 were surprisingly hawkish, saying “most participants” believed a June hike would be appropriate “if incoming data were consistent with economic growth picking up in the second quarter.” The Fed entered their June 2016 meeting with two items on mind: the most recent jobs report showed only 38,000 jobs were created in May 2016, and the UK vote to possibly leave the European Union would occur in the succeeding week. In consideration of the risks posed by potentially slowing job growth or a further slowing of growth abroad, the Fed reacted with a very dovish tone in June 2016, with six members only expecting one hike in 2016 compared to one member in March 2016, and the median Fed funds rate expectation dropping to 1.9% from 2.4% for year-end 2017 and 3.0% from 3.3% for year-end 2018. As Yellen noted in a June 2016 speech that “a UK vote to exit the European Union could have significant
42
ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
economic repercussions,” the market expectation is for a continued cautious Fed in the third quarter of 2016. The July 27, 2016 meeting was uneventful, as the statement noted an improvement in the labor market and that “near-term risks to the economic outlook have diminished,” both likely a reference to the strong June 2016 employment report after a weak reading in May 2016.
Interest rates declined approximately 15-35 basis points across the yield curve over the course of the second quarter of 2016, with long-term Treasury yields reaching their lowest level on record. The decline in interest rates was driven by the market moves following the UK’s vote to exit the European Union on June 23, 2016 which led to a broad-based repricing of global short-term rate expectations related to increased central bank accommodation amid
the economic impact of the vote outcome. In addition, the increased global central bank accommodation – with the European Central Bank increasing its quantitative easing program by extending to corporate bonds and expectations of further action from the Bank of England and Bank of Japan – has left the United States with a large share of positive yielding developed market government debt, in turn increasing relative attractiveness of U.S. yields, despite their historically low levels. The mortgage basis, or the spread between the 30-year Agency mortgage-backed security coupon and 10-year U.S. Treasury, narrowed early in the second quarter of 2016 before widening modestly in June 2016.

Financial Regulatory Reform
Uncertainty remains surrounding financial regulatory reform and its impact on the markets and the broader economy. In particular, the U.S. government is attempting to change its involvement through the Agencies in the mortgage market. There have been numerous legislative initiatives introduced regarding the Agencies, and it is unclear which approach, if any, may become law. In addition, regulators remain focused on the wholesale funding markets, bank capital levels and shadow banking. It is difficult to predict the ultimate legislative and other regulatory outcomes of these efforts. We continue to monitor these legislative and regulatory developments to evaluate their potential impact on our business.
On January 12, 2016, the Federal Housing Finance Administration (or FHFA) issued final rules relating to captive insurance company membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank (or FHLB) System, which provide that these entities will no longer be eligible for membership in the FHLB System. As part of their membership in the FHLB System, captive insurance companies typically pledge assets as collateral for advances by the FHLB. The rules provide for extensions of the advances outstanding prior to February
19, 2016 until their scheduled maturity for existing members as well as continued membership in the FHLB System for either one or five years depending on when an existing member was admitted as a member of the FHLB System. Our captive insurance subsidiary Truman Insurance Company LLC (or Truman) was admitted as a member of the FHLB System prior to September 2014 and, therefore, is eligible under the rules to remain as a member of the FHLB of Des Moines (or FHLB Des Moines) through February 2021.
The results of our operations are affected by various factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of these risks and uncertainties are described herein (see “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”) and in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk factors” of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

GAAP
Net income (loss) was ($278.5) million, which includes ($0.4) million attributable to a noncontrolling interest, or ($0.32) per average basic common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $900.1 million, which includes ($0.1) million attributable to a
noncontrolling interest, or $0.93 per average basic common share, for the same period in 2015. We attribute the majority of the change in net income (loss) to the change in unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps and lower interest income. Unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps were ($373.2) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $700.8 million for the same period in 2015, reflecting an unfavorable change in the fair value of interest rate swaps due to lower forward interest rates for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Interest income decreased $167.2 million to $457.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in

2015, primarily due to lower coupon income resulting from lower average Interest Earning Assets and higher amortization expense reflecting higher projected long-term CPR on Residential Investment Securities, partially offset by higher interest income from the commercial investment portfolio.
Net income (loss) was ($1.1) billion, which includes ($0.5) million attributable to a noncontrolling interest, or ($1.28) per average basic common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $423.6 million, which includes ($0.2) million attributable to a noncontrolling interest, or $0.41 per average basic common share, for the same period in 2015. We attribute the majority of the change in net income (loss) to the change in unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps and lower interest income. Unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps were ($1.4) billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $234.6 million for the same period in 2015, reflecting an unfavorable change in the fair value of interest rate swaps due to lower forward interest rates for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Interest income decreased $298.1 million to $845.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to lower coupon income resulting from a lower average yield on Interest Earning Assets, lower average Interest Earning Assets and higher amortization expense reflecting higher projected long-term CPR on Residential Investment Securities, partially offset by higher interest income from the commercial investment portfolio.
Non-GAAP
Core earnings were $282.2 million, or $0.29 per average common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $331.5 million, or $0.33 per average common share, for the same period in 2015. Core earnings decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a reduction in core interest income earned on lower Residential Investment Securities balances, partially offset by increased interest income on a larger commercial investment portfolio.
Core earnings were $573.9 million, or $0.58 per average common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $673.4 million, or $0.67 per average common share, for the same period in 2015. Core earnings declined during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a reduction in core interest income earned on lower
Residential Investment Securities balances, partially offset by increased interest income on a larger commercial investment portfolio.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Management Discussion and Analysis section contains analysis and discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations. Other market participants may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than the Company calculates them, making comparative analysis difficult.
Although the Company believes its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides insight into the Company’s financial position and performance excluding the effects of certain transactions, non-GAAP financial measures may have limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation and are not a substitute for financial measures computed in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s management relies on non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the performance of the business. Further, the Company’s management relies on these performance metrics, which exclude the effect of the PAA, in its consideration of dividend payments to shareholders. Given the quarter-over-quarter volatility of premium amortization cost (benefit), the Company believes that quantifying the component of premium amortization expense associated with the change in estimated long-term prepayment speeds provides investors with better visibility into the underlying performance of the business. Quantifying this component and disclosing the long-term CPR for investors on a quarterly basis eliminates the need for extrapolation and guesswork. These metrics are also useful in comparing performance versus industry peers as similar financial measures are disclosed by certain peers, and are frequently relied upon by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Economic interest expense is comprised of interest expense, as computed in accordance with GAAP, plus interest expense on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of funds, a component of Realized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changing interest rates on its repurchase agreements by economically hedging cash flows associated with these borrowings. Presenting the contractual interest payments in interest rate swaps with the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities reflects total contractual interest payments. This presentation depicts the economic cost of our financing strategy.
TBA dollar roll income, a component of Net gains (losses) on trading assets in the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), is defined as the difference in price between two TBA contracts with the same terms but different settlement dates. Dollar roll income represents the equivalent of interest income on the underlying security less an implied cost of financing and is included in the Company’s determination of core earnings.

Core Interest Income, Economic Interest Expense and Economic Core Net Interest Income
We believe the economic value of our investment strategy is depicted by the economic core net interest income we earn. We calculate core interest income by determining our GAAP interest income and adjusting it by the PAA. Our economic interest expense, which is composed of interest expense on our Interest Bearing
Liabilities plus interest expense on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of funds, reflects total contractual interest payments. We calculate economic core net interest income by determining our GAAP net interest income and adjusting it by the PAA and reducing it by realized losses on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of funds, which represents interest expense on interest rate swaps.

Experienced and Projected Long-term CPR
Prepayment speeds, as reflected by the Constant Prepayment Rate, or CPR, and interest rates vary according to the type of investment, conditions in financial markets, competition and other factors, none of
which can be predicted with any certainty. In general, as prepayment speeds and expectations of prepayment speeds on our Agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio increase, related premium amortization increases, thereby reducing the yield on such assets. The following table presents the weighted average experienced CPR and weighted average projected long-term CPR on our Agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio as of or for the periods presented.

Core Interest Income and Core Average Yield on Interest Earning Assets
We had average Interest Earning Assets of $73.6 billion and $75.3 billion, and the core average yield on Interest Earning Assets was 2.95% and 2.90% for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
We had average Interest Earning Assets of $73.9 billion and $78.6 billion, and the core average yield on Interest Earning Assets was 2.98% and 2.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Core interest income was $542.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $2.0 million compared to $544.7 million for the same period in 2015. Core interest income was $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $52.4 million compared to $1.2 billion for the same period in 2015. The change in each period was primarily due to a reduction in core interest income earned on lower Residential Investment Securities balances, partially offset by increased interest income on a larger commercial investment portfolio.
Economic Interest Expense and the Average Cost of Interest Bearing Liabilities
Typically, our largest expense is the cost of Interest Bearing Liabilities and interest expense on interest rate swaps, which is recorded in realized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The table below shows our average Interest Bearing Liabilities and average cost of Interest Bearing Liabilities as compared to average one-month and average six-month LIBOR for the periods presented.

(1) Economic interest expense includes interest expense on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of funds.
Economic interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased by $8.2 million compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to higher funding costs on Interest Bearing Liabilities partially offset by lower interest expense on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of funds.
Economic interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $8.0 million compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to lower interest expense on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of
funds partially offset by higher funding costs on Interest Bearing Liabilities.
We do not manage our portfolio to have a pre-designated amount of borrowings at quarter or year end. Our borrowings at period end are a snapshot of our borrowings as of a date, and this number should be expected to differ from average borrowings over the period for a number of reasons. The mortgage-backed securities we own pay principal and interest towards the end of each month and the mortgage-backed securities

ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
we purchase are typically settled during the beginning of the month. As a result, depending on the amount of mortgage-backed securities we have committed to purchase, we may retain the principal and interest we receive in the prior month, or we may use it to pay down our borrowings. Moreover, we generally use interest rate swaps, swaptions and other derivative instruments to hedge our portfolio, and as we pledge or receive collateral under these agreements, our borrowings on any given day may be increased or decreased. Our average borrowings during a quarter will differ from period end borrowings as we implement our portfolio management strategies and risk management strategies over changing market conditions by increasing or decreasing leverage. Additionally, these numbers will differ during periods when we conduct capital raises, as in certain instances we may purchase additional assets and increase leverage with the expectation of a successful capital raise. Since our average borrowings and period end borrowings can be expected to differ, we believe our average borrowings during a period provide a more accurate representation of our exposure to the risks associated with leverage.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 93% and 95%, respectively, of our debt represents repurchase agreements and other secured financing arrangements collateralized by a pledge of our Residential Investment Securities and commercial real estate debt investments. All of our Residential Investment Securities are currently accepted as collateral for these borrowings. However, we limit our borrowings, and thus our potential asset growth, in order to maintain unused borrowing capacity and thus increase the liquidity and strength of our balance sheet. As of June 30, 2016, the term to maturity of some of our repurchase agreements extends beyond two years, reflecting our laddered approach.

(1) Includes realized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, realized gains (losses) on termination of interest rate swaps and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps.
For the Quarters End June 30, 2016 and 2015
Net gains (losses) on interest rate swaps for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was ($564.0) million compared to $556.3 million for the same period in 2015. Unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was ($373.2) million compared to $700.8 million for the same period in 2015, reflecting an unfavorable change in the fair value of interest rate swaps due to lower forward interest rates for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we disposed of Residential Investment Securities with a carrying value of $1.8 billion for an aggregate net gain of $11.9 million. For the same period in 2015, we disposed of Residential Investment Securities with a carrying value of $2.5 billion for an aggregate net gain of $3.9 million.
Net gains (losses) on trading assets were $81.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to ($114.2) million for the same period in 2015. Net gains (losses) on TBA derivatives was $159.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared with ($157.8) million for the same period in 2015. Net gains (losses) on futures contracts was ($77.3) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared with $44.1 million for the same period in 2015.
Net unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments measured at fair value through earnings was ($54.2) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $17.6 million for the same period in 2015. The change was primarily attributable to unfavorable valuations on interest-only mortgage-backed securities and certain commercial mortgage-backed securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
For the Six Months End June 30, 2016 and 2015
Net losses on interest rate swaps increased by $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared
to the same period in 2015, primarily attributable to the change in unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps which was ($1.4) billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $234.6 million for the same period in 2015, partially offset by a $166.4 million decrease in realized losses on termination of interest swaps for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we disposed of Residential Investment Securities with a carrying value of $5.2 billion for an aggregate net gain of $10.3 million. For the same period in 2015, we disposed of Investment Securities with a carrying value of $17.4 billion for an aggregate net gain of $66.3 million.
Net gains (losses) on trading assets were $207.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to ($121.1) million for the same period in 2015. Net gains (losses) on TBA derivatives was $463.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with ($96.2) million for the same period in 2015. In addition, net losses on futures contracts increased $236.9 million to ($256.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with the same period in 2015.
Net unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments measured at fair value through earnings was ($54.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to ($16.0) million for the same period in 2015. The change was primarily attributable to higher losses on interest-only mortgage-backed securities.
Other Income (Loss)
We report in “Other income (loss)” items that are non-recurring in nature or whose amounts, either individually or in the aggregate, would not, in the opinion of management, be meaningful to readers of the financial statements. The composition of this line item consists of non-recurring revenues and expenses and certain revenues and costs associated with our investments in commercial real estate, including rental income and recoveries, operating and transaction costs as well as depreciation and amortization expense. Given the non-routine nature of certain components of this line item, balances may fluctuate from period to period.

(1) Includes $2.2 million in Hatteras Acquisition related expenses.
G&A expenses decreased $2.8 million to $49.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. G&A expenses decreased $5.8 million to $97.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The change in each period was due to lower compensation and management fee, reflecting a decline in adjusted stockholders’ equity, and lower other general and administrative expenses, primarily attributable to decreases in professional fees partially offset by higher technology related expenses.
Unrealized Gains and Losses
With our available-for-sale accounting treatment on our Agency mortgage-backed securities, which represent
the largest portion of assets on our balance sheet, unrealized fluctuations in market values of assets do not impact our GAAP or taxable income but rather are reflected on our balance sheet by changing the carrying value of the asset and stockholders’ equity under Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). As a result of this fair value accounting treatment, our book value and book value per share are likely to fluctuate far more than if we used amortized cost accounting. As a result, comparisons with companies that use amortized cost accounting for some or all of their balance sheet may not be meaningful.
The table below shows cumulative unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale investments reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Unrealized changes in the estimated fair value of available-for-sale investments may have a direct effect on our potential earnings and dividends: positive changes will increase our equity base and allow us to increase our borrowing capacity while negative changes tend to reduce borrowing capacity under our investment policy. A very large negative change in the net fair value of our available-for-sale residential investment securities might impair our liquidity position, requiring us to sell assets with the likely result of realized losses upon sale.
The fair value of these securities being less than amortized cost as of June 30, 2016 is solely due to market conditions and not the quality of the assets. Substantially all of the Agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures are “AAA” rated or carry an implied “AAA” rating. The investments are not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired because we currently have the ability and intent to hold the investments to maturity or for a period of time sufficient for a forecasted market price recovery up to or

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
beyond the cost of the investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of the amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. Also, we are guaranteed payment of the principal amount of the securities by the respective issuing Agency.
Return on Average Equity
Our return (loss) on average equity was (9.60%) and 28.00% for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our return (loss) on average equity was (19.59%) and 6.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Total assets were $77.7 billion and $75.2 billion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The change was primarily due to a $1.5 billion increase in commercial real estate debt investments, which includes assets held in consolidated VIEs, a $966.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $290.8
million increase in non-Agency mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by an $855.2 million decrease in Agency mortgage-backed securities and $152.0 million decrease in Agency debentures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Residential Investment Securities
Substantially all of our Agency mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were backed by single-family mortgage loans. Substantially all of the mortgage assets underlying these mortgage-backed securities were secured with a first lien position on the underlying single-family properties. Our mortgage-backed securities were largely Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae pass-through certificates or CMOs, which carry an actual or implied “AAA” rating. We carry all of our Agency mortgage-backed securities at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
We accrete discount balances as an increase to interest income over the expected life of the related Interest Earning Assets and we amortize premium balances as a decrease to interest income over the expected life of the related Interest Earning Assets. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 we had on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition a total of $113.0 million and $61.6 million, respectively, of unamortized discount (which is the difference between the remaining principal value and current amortized cost of our Residential Investment Securities acquired at a price below principal value) and a total of $4.7 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, of unamortized premium (which is the difference between the remaining principal value and the current amortized cost of our Residential Investment Securities acquired at a price above principal value).
We received mortgage principal repayments from Residential Investment Securities of $2.7 billion for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The weighted average experienced prepayment speed for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 12.7% and 12.1%, respectively. The weighted average projected long-term prepayment speed on our Agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 13.0% and 7.7%, respectively. Given our current portfolio composition, if mortgage principal prepayment rates were to increase over the life of our mortgage-backed securities, all other factors being equal, our net interest income would decrease during the life of these mortgage-backed securities as we would be required to amortize our net premium balance into income over a shorter time period. Similarly, if mortgage principal prepayment rates were to decrease over the life of our mortgage-backed securities, all other factors being equal, our net interest income would increase during the life of these mortgage-backed securities as we would amortize our net premium balance over a longer time period.
The table below summarizes certain characteristics of our Residential Investment Securities (excluding interest-only mortgage-backed securities) and interest-only mortgage-backed securities as of the dates presented.

(1) Interest expense on repurchase agreements and other secured financing calculated based on rates at June 30, 2016.
In the coming periods, we expect to continue to finance our Residential Investment Securities in a manner that is largely consistent with our current operations. We may use FHLB Des Moines advances, securitization structures, mortgages payable or other term financing structures to finance certain of our assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we received $4.6 billion from principal repayments and $4.0 billion in cash from disposal of Residential Investment Securities,
respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we received $5.3 billion from principal repayments and $18.3 billion in cash from disposal of Residential Investment Securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships which would have been established for the sole purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements, or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
55
ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The Company has limited future funding commitments related to certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, the Company has provided customary non-recourse carve-out and environmental guarantees (or underlying indemnities with respect thereto) with respect to mortgage loans held by subsidiaries of these unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company believes that the likelihood of making any payments under these guarantees is remote, and has not accrued a related liability as of June 30, 2016.
Maintaining a strong balance sheet that can support the business even in times of economic stress and market volatility is of critical importance to our business strategy. A strong and robust capital position is essential to executing our investment strategy. Our capital strategy is predicated on a strong capital position, which enables us to execute our investment strategy regardless of the market environment.
Our Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Program (or ICAAP) supports capital and business performance measurement, and is integrated within the overall risk governance framework. The ICAAP framework is designed to align capital measurement with our risk appetite.
Our objective is to maintain an active ICAAP that reflects sound governance, requires active assessment and reporting of internal capital adequacy, incorporates stress testing based on internal and external factors and identifies potential capital actions to ensure our capital and available financial resources remain in excess of internal capital requirements.
The capital policy defines the parameters and principles supporting a comprehensive capital management practice, including processes that effectively identify, measure and monitor risks impacting capital adequacy. The capital assessment process considers the precision in risk measures as well as the volatility of exposures and the relative activities producing risk. Parameters used in modeling economic capital must align with our risk appetite.
Economic capital is our internal quantification of the risks inherent in our business and considers the amount of capital we need as a buffer to protect against risks. It is considered the capital needed to remain solvent over a one-year period under extreme scenarios.
The major risks impacting capital applicable to us are liquidity, investment/market, credit, counterparty, operational. For further discussion of the risks we are subject to, please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this quarterly report on Form
10-Q.
10-Q.
Capital requirements are based on maintaining levels above approved limits, ensuring the quality of our capital appropriately reflects our asset mix, market and funding structure. As such we use a complement of capital metrics and related threshold levels to measure and analyze our capital from a magnitude and composition perspective. Our policy is to maintain an appropriate amount of available financial resources over the aggregate economic capital requirements.
Available Financial Resources (or AFR) is the actual capital held to protect against the unexpected losses measured in our capital management process and may include:
§
|
Common and preferred equity
|
§
|
Other forms of equity-like capital
|
§
|
Surplus credit reserves over expected losses
|
§
|
Other loss absorption instruments
|
In the event we fall short of our internal limits, we will consider appropriate actions which may include asset sales, changes in asset mix, reductions in asset purchases or originations, issuance of capital or other capital enhancing or risk reduction strategies.

In August 2015, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding common shares through December 31, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we repurchased 11,132,226 shares of our common stock under this repurchase program for an aggregate amount of $102.7 million.
In March 2012, we entered into six separate Distribution Agency Agreements (or Distribution Agency Agreements) with each of Merrill Lynch; Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated; Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC; Goldman, Sachs & Co.; J.P. Morgan Securities LLC; Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC; and RCap (together, the Agents). Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agency Agreements, we may sell from time to time through the Agents, as our sales agents, up to 125,000,000 shares of our common stock. We did not make any sales under the Distribution Agency Agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.
Leverage and Capital
We believe that it is prudent to maintain conservative debt-to-equity and economic leverage ratios as there continues to be volatility in the mortgage and credit markets. Our capital policy governs our capital and leverage position including setting limits. Based on the guidelines, we will maintain an economic leverage ratio of less than 10:1. Our actual economic leverage ratio varies from time to time based upon various factors, including our management’s opinion of the level of risk of our assets and liabilities, our liquidity position, our level of unused borrowing capacity, the availability of credit, over-collateralization levels required by lenders when we pledge assets to secure borrowings and our assessment of domestic and international market conditions.
Our debt-to-equity ratio at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 5.3:1 and 5.1:1, respectively. Our economic leverage ratio, which is computed as the sum of recourse debt, TBA derivative notional outstanding and net forward purchases of investments divided by total equity, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 6.1:1 and 6.0:1, respectively. Our capital ratio, which represents our ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets (inclusive of total market value of TBA derivatives and exclusive of consolidated VIEs associated with B-Piece commercial mortgage-backed securities), was 13.2% and 13.7% at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
We are subject to a variety of risks in the ordinary conduct of our business. The effective management of these risks is of critical importance to the overall success of Annaly. The objective of our risk management framework is to measure, monitor and manage these risks. Our risk management framework is intended to facilitate a holistic, enterprise wide view of risk. We have built a strong and collaborative risk culture throughout Annaly focused on awareness which ensures the key risks are understood and managed appropriately. Each employee of our Manager is accountable for monitoring and managing risk within their area of responsibility.

Risk Appetite
We maintain a firm-wide risk appetite statement which defines the types and levels of risk we are willing to take in order to achieve our business objectives, and reflects our risk management philosophy. Fundamentally, we will only engage in risk activities based on our core expertise that enhance value for our stockholders. Our activities focus on capital preservation and income generation through proactive portfolio management, supported by a conservative liquidity and leverage posture.
The risk appetite statement includes the following key parameters to guide our risk management activities:
Portfolio Composition
|
We will maintain a portfolio comprised of target assets approved by our Board and in accordance with our capital allocation policy.
|
Leverage
|
We will operate at an economic leverage ratio no greater than 10:1.
|
Liquidity Risk
|
We will seek to maintain an unencumbered asset portfolio sufficient to meet our liquidity needs under adverse market conditions.
|
Interest Rate Risk
|
We will seek to manage interest rate risk to protect the portfolio from adverse rate movements utilizing derivative instruments targeting both income and capital preservation.
|
Credit Risk
|
We will seek to manage credit risk by making investments which conform within our specific investment policy parameters and optimize risk-adjusted returns.
|
Capital Preservation
|
We will seek to protect our capital base through disciplined risk management practices.
|
Compliance
|
We will comply with regulatory requirements needed to maintain our REIT status and our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act.
|
Governance
Risk management begins with our board of directors, through the review and oversight of the risk management framework, and executive management, through the ongoing formulation of risk management practices and related execution in managing risk. The board of directors exercises its oversight of risk management primarily through the Board Risk Committee (or BRC) and Board Audit Committee (or BAC). The BRC is responsible for oversight of our risk governance structure, risk management and risk assessment guidelines and policies, our risk appetite and our capital, liquidity and funding practices. The BAC is responsible for oversight of the quality and integrity of our accounting, internal controls and financial reporting practices, including independent auditor selection, evaluation and review, and oversight of the internal audit function.
Risk assessment and risk management are the responsibility of our management. A series of management committees have oversight or decision-making responsibilities for risk management activities. Membership of these committees is reviewed regularly to ensure the appropriate personnel are engaged in the
risk management process. Four primary management committees have been established to provide a comprehensive framework for risk management. The management committees responsible for our risk management include the Enterprise Risk Committee, Asset and Liability Committee, Investment Committee and the Financial Reporting and Disclosure Committee. Each of these committees reports to our management Operating Committee which is responsible for oversight and management of our operations including oversight and approval authority over all aspects of our enterprise risk management.
Audit Services is an independent function with reporting lines to the BAC. Audit Services is responsible for performing our internal audit activities, which includes independently assessing and validating key controls within the risk management framework.
Description of Risks
We are subject to a variety of risks due to the business we operate. Risk categories are an important component of a robust enterprise wide risk management framework. We have identified the following primary categories that we utilize to identify, assess, measure and monitor risk.
58
ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Risk
|
Description
|
Liquidity Risk
|
Risk to earnings, capital or business arising from our inability to meet our obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses because of inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding.
|
Investment/Market Risk
|
Risk to earnings, capital or business resulting in the decline in value of our assets or an increase in the costs of financing caused by changes in market variables, such as interest rates, which affect the values of investment securities and other investment instruments.
|
Counterparty Risk
|
Risk to earnings, capital or business, resulting from counterparty's failure to meet the terms of any contract or otherwise failure to perform as agreed. This risk is present in funding and hedging activities.
|
Credit Risk
|
Risk to earnings, capital or business resulting from an obligor’s failure to meet the terms of any contract or otherwise failure to perform as agreed. This risk is present in lending, and investing activities.
|
Operational Risk
|
Risk to earnings, capital, reputation or business arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human factors or external events. Model risk is included in operational risk.
|
Compliance, Regulatory and Legal Risk
|
Risk to earnings, capital, reputation or conduct of business arising from violations of, or nonconformance with internal and external applicable rules and regulations, losses resulting from lawsuits or adverse judgments, or from changes in the regulatory environment that may impact our business model.
|
Liquidity Risk Management
Our liquidity risk management strategy is designed to ensure the availability of sufficient resources to support
our business and meet our financial obligations under both normal and adverse market and business environments. Our liquidity risk management practices consist of the following primary elements:
Funding
|
Availability of diverse and stable sources of funds.
|
Excess Liquidity
|
Excess liquidity primarily in the form of unencumbered assets.
|
Maturity Profile
|
Diversity and tenor of liabilities and modest use of leverage.
|
Stress Testing
|
Scenario modeling to measure the resiliency of our liquidity position.
|
Liquidity Management Policies
|
Comprehensive policies including monitoring, risk limits and an escalation protocol.
|
Funding
Our primary financing sources are repurchase agreements provided through counterparty arrangements and directly through RCap, other secured financing including FHLB funding, securitized debt, mortgages, credit facilities, note sales and various forms of equity. We maintain excess liquidity through high quality assets.
We conservatively manage our repurchase agreement funding position through a variety of methods including diversity, breadth and depth of counterparties and maintaining a staggered and longer-term maturity profile.
Additionally, our wholly owned subsidiary, RCap, provides direct access to third party funding as a FINRA member broker-dealer. RCap raises funds through the General Collateral Finance Repo service offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC), with FICC acting as the central counterparty. Since its inception in 2008, RCap has provided us greater depth and diversity of repurchase agreement funding while also limiting our counterparty exposure.
Our borrowings pursuant to repurchase transactions include repurchase agreements that have maturities that extend beyond two years. To reduce our liquidity risk we maintain a laddered approach to our repurchase agreements and a conservative weighted average days to maturity. As of June 30, 2016, the weighted average days to maturity was 129 days.
59
ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Our repurchase agreements generally provide that in the event of a margin call we must provide additional securities or cash on the same business day that a margin call is made. Should prepayment speeds on the mortgages underlying our Agency and Residential mortgage-backed securities and/or market interest rates or other factors move suddenly and cause declines in the market value of assets posted as collateral, resulting margin calls may cause an adverse change in our liquidity position.
We maintain access to FHLB funding through our captive insurance subsidiary Truman. We finance eligible Agency, residential and commercial investments through the FHLB and maintain a required margin balance. While a recent FHFA ruling requires captive insurance companies to terminate their FHLB membership, given the length of its membership, Truman has been granted a five year sunset provision whereby its membership will expire in February 2021.
We utilize diverse funding sources to finance our commercial investments. Aside from FHLB funding, we maintain credit facilities, securitization funding and, in the case of investments in commercial real estate, mortgage financing and note sales.
At June 30, 2016, we had total financial instruments and cash pledged as collateral for secured financing arrangements and interest rate swaps of $64.1 billion. The weighted average haircut was approximately 5% on repurchase agreements. The quality and character of the Agency mortgage-backed securities that we pledge as collateral under the repurchase agreements, other secured financing and interest rate swaps did not materially change at June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015, and our counterparties did not materially alter any requirements, including required haircuts, related to the collateral we pledge under repurchase agreements and interest rate swaps during the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Excess Liquidity
Our primary source of liquidity is the availability of unencumbered assets which may be provided as collateral to support additional funding needs. We target minimum thresholds of available, unencumbered assets to maintain excess liquidity. The following table illustrates our asset portfolio available to support
potential collateral obligations and funding needs. Assets are considered encumbered if pledged as collateral against an existing liability, and therefore no longer available to support additional funding. An asset is considered unencumbered if it has not been pledged or securitized. The following table also provides the carrying amount of our encumbered and unencumbered financial assets as of June 30, 2016:

We maintain liquid assets in order to satisfy our current and future obligations in normal and stressed operating environments. These are held as the primary means of liquidity risk mitigation. The composition of our liquid assets is considered as well and is subject to certain parameters. The composition is monitored for concentration risk, asset type and ratings. We believe the
assets we consider liquid can be readily converted into cash, through liquidation or by being used as collateral in financing arrangements (including as additional collateral to support existing financial arrangements). Our balance sheet also generates liquidity on an on-going basis through mortgage principal and interest repayments and net earnings held prior to payment of dividends. The following table presents our liquid assets as a percentage of total assets as of June 30, 2016.

Maturity Profile
We consider the profile of our assets, liabilities and derivatives when managing both liquidity risk as well as investment/market risk employing a measurement of both the maturity gap and interest rate gap.
We determine the amount of liquid assets that are required to be held by monitoring several liquidity metrics. We utilize several modeling techniques to analyze our current and potential obligations including the expected cash flows from our assets, liabilities and derivatives. The following table illustrates the expected maturities of our assets, liabilities and derivatives. The table is based on a static portfolio and assumes no reinvestment of asset cash flows and no future liabilities are entered into. In assessing the maturity of our assets, liabilities and off balance sheet obligations, we use the stated maturities, or our prepayment expectations for assets that exhibit prepayment characteristics. Cash and cash equivalents are included in the ‘within 3 months’ maturity bucket, as they are typically held for a short period of time.
With respect to each maturity bucket, our maturity gap is considered negative when the amount of maturing liabilities exceeds the amount of maturing assets. A negative gap increases our liquidity risk as we must enter into future liabilities.
Our interest rate sensitivity gap is the difference between Interest Earning Assets and Interest Bearing Liabilities maturing or re-pricing within a given time period. Unlike the calculation of maturity gap, interest rate sensitivity gap includes the effect of our interest rate swaps. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds interest-rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely. Because different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities may react differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions, changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or negatively even if assets and liabilities were perfectly matched in each maturity category. The amount of assets and liabilities utilized to compute our interest rate sensitivity gap was determined in accordance with the contractual terms of the assets and liabilities, except that adjustable-rate loans and securities are included in the period in which their interest rates are first scheduled to adjust and not in the period in which they mature. The effects of interest rate swaps, which effectively lock in our financing costs for a longer term, are also reflected in our interest rate sensitivity gap. The interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities in the table below could vary substantially based on actual prepayment experience.

The methodologies we employ for evaluating interest rate risk include an analysis of our interest rate “gap,” measurement of the duration and convexity of our portfolio and sensitivities to interest rates and spreads.
Stress Testing
We utilize liquidity stress testing to ensure we have sufficient liquidity under a variety of scenarios and stresses. These stress tests assist with the management of our pool of liquid assets and influence our current and future funding plans. Our stress tests are modeled over both short-term and longer time horizons. The stresses applied include market-wide and firm-specific stresses.
Liquidity Management Policies
We utilize a comprehensive liquidity policy structure to inform our liquidity risk management practices including monitoring and measurement, along with well-defined key limits. Both quantitative and qualitative targets are utilized to measure the ongoing stability and condition of the liquidity position, and include the level and composition of unencumbered assets, as well as both short-term and long-term sustainability of the funding composition under stress conditions.
We also monitor early warning metrics designed to measure the quality and depth of liquidity sources based upon both company-specific and macro environmental conditions. The metrics assess both the short-term and long-term liquidity conditions and are integrated into our escalation protocol, with various liquidity ratings influencing management actions with respect to contingency planning and potential related actions.
Investment/Market Risk Management
One of the primary risks we are subject to is interest rate risk. Changes in the level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the income we earn on our Interest Earning Assets and the interest expense incurred from Interest Bearing Liabilities and derivatives. Changes in the level of interest rates and spreads can also affect the value of our securities and potential realization of gains or losses from the sale of these assets. We may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, swaptions, options, futures and other hedges, in order to limit the adverse effects of interest rates on our results. Our portfolio and the value of our portfolio, including derivatives, may be adversely affected as a result of changing interest rates and spreads.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
We simulate a wide variety of interest rate scenarios in evaluating our risk. Scenarios are run to capture our sensitivity to changes in interest rates, spreads and the shape of the yield curve. We also consider the assumptions affecting our analysis such as those related to prepayments. In addition to predefined interest rate scenarios, we utilize Value-at-Risk measures to estimate potential losses in the portfolio over various time horizons utilizing various confidence levels. The following tables estimate the potential changes in economic net interest income over a twelve month period and the immediate effect on our portfolio market value (inclusive of derivative instruments), should interest rates instantaneously increase or decrease by 25, 50 or 75 basis points, and the effect of portfolio market value if mortgage option-adjusted spreads instantaneously increase or decrease by 5, 15 or 25 basis points (assuming shocks are parallel and instantaneous). All changes to income and portfolio market value are measured as percentage changes from the projected economic net interest income and portfolio value at the
base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at June 30, 2016 and various estimates regarding prepayments and all activities are made at each level of rate shock. The economic net interest income simulations incorporate the interest expense effect of rate resets on assets, liabilities and derivatives as well as the amortization expense and reinvestment of principal based on the prepayments on our securities, which varies based on the level of rates. The results assume no management actions in response to the rate or spread changes. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Credit Risk Management
Key risk parameters have been established to specify our credit risk appetite. We will seek to manage credit risk by making investments which conform within the firm’s specific investment policy parameters and optimize risk-return attributes.
While we do not expect to encounter credit risk in our Agency investments, we face credit risk on the non-Agency mortgage-backed securities and CRT securities in our portfolio. In addition, we are also exposed to credit risk on commercial real estate investments and corporate debt. We are subject to risk of loss if an issuer or borrower fails to perform its contractual obligations.
We have established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk, including establishing and reviewing limits for credit exposure. We will originate or purchase commercial investments that meet our comprehensive underwriting process and credit standards and are approved by the appropriate committee. Once a commercial investment is made, our ongoing surveillance process includes regular reviews, analysis and oversight of investments by our investment personnel and appropriate committee. We review credit and other risks of loss associated with each investment. Our management monitors the overall portfolio risk and determines estimates of provision for loss. Our portfolio composition as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was as follows:

Counterparty Risk Management
Our use of repurchase and derivative agreements and trading activities create exposure to counterparty risk relating to potential losses that could be recognized if the counterparties to these agreements fail to perform their obligations under the contracts. In the event of default by a counterparty, we could have difficulty obtaining our assets pledged as collateral. A significant portion of our Agency mortgage-backed securities are financed with repurchase agreements by pledging our agency securities as collateral to the lender. The collateral we pledge usually exceeds the amount of the borrowings under each agreement. If the counterparty to the repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and we are not able to recover our pledged asset, we are at risk of losing the over-collateralization or haircut. The amount of this exposure is the difference between the amount loaned to us plus interest due to the counterparty and the fair value of the collateral pledged by us to the lender including accrued interest receivable on such collateral.
We also use interest rate swaps and other derivatives to manage interest rate risk. Under these agreements, we pledge securities and cash as collateral as part of a margin arrangement. If a counterparty were to default on its obligations, we would be exposed to a loss to a derivative counterparty to the extent that the amount of our securities or cash pledged exceeded the unrealized loss on the associated derivative and we were not able to recover the excess collateral. Additionally, we would be exposed to a loss to a derivative counterparty to the extent that our unrealized gains on derivative instruments exceeds the amount of the counterparty’s securities or cash pledged to us.
We monitor our exposure to counterparties across several dimensions including by type of arrangement, collateral type, counterparty type, ratings and geography.
The following table summarizes our exposure to counterparties by geography as of June 30, 2016:

Operational Risk Management
We are subject to operational risk in each of our business and support functions. Operational risk may arise from internal or external sources including human error, fraud, systems issues, process change, vendors, business interruptions and other external events. Model risk considers potential errors with a model’s results due to uncertainty in model parameters and inappropriate methodologies used. The result of these risks may include financial loss and reputational damage.
We manage operational risk through a variety of tools including policies and procedures which cover topics such as business continuity, personal conduct and vendor management. Other tools include training on topics such as cyber security awareness; testing, including disaster recovery testing; systems controls, including access controls; and monitoring, which includes the use of key risk indicators. Employee level lines of defense against operational risk include proper segregation of incompatible duties, activity-level internal controls over financial reporting, the empowerment of business units to identify and mitigate operational risk sources, an independent operational risk working group, testing by our internal audit staff, and our overall governance framework.

Compliance, Regulatory and Legal Risk Management
Our business is organized as a REIT, and we plan to continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances. Accordingly, we closely monitor our REIT status within our risk management program. The financial services industry is highly regulated and continues to receive increasing attention from regulators, which may impact both our company as well as our business strategy. We proactively monitor the potential impact regulation may have both directly and indirectly on us. We maintain a process to actively monitor both actual and potential legal action that may affect us. Our risk management framework is designed to identify, monitor and manage these risks under the oversight of the Enterprise Risk Committee.
We currently rely on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, and we plan to continue to meet the requirements for this exemption from registration. The determination that we qualify for this exemption from registration depends on various factual matters and circumstances. Accordingly, in conjunction with our legal department, we closely monitor our compliance with Section 3(c)(5)(C) within our risk management program. The monitoring of this risk is also under the oversight of the Enterprise Risk Committee.
As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or CFTC) gained jurisdiction over the regulation of interest rate swaps. The CFTC has asserted that this causes the operators of mortgage real estate investment trusts that use swaps as part of their business model to fall within the statutory definition of Commodity Pool Operator (or CPO), and, absent relief from the Division or the Commission, to register as CPOs. On December 7, 2012, as a result of numerous requests for no-action relief from the CPO registration requirement for operators of mortgage real estate investment trusts, the Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight of the CFTC issued no-action relief entitled “No-Action Relief from the Commodity Pool Operator Registration Requirement for Commodity Pool Operators of Certain Pooled Investment Vehicles Organized as Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts” that permits a CPO to receive relief by filing a claim to perfect the use of the relief.
A claim submitted by a CPO will be effective upon filing, so long as the claim is materially complete. The conditions that must be met relate to initial margin and premiums requirements, net income derived annually from commodity interest positions that are not qualifying hedging transactions, marketing of interests in the mortgage real estate investment trust to the public, and identification of the entity as a mortgage real estate investment trust in its federal tax filings with the Internal Revenue Service. While we disagree that the CFTC’s position that mortgage real estate investment trusts that use swaps as part of their business model fall within the statutory definition of a CPO, we have submitted a claim for the relief set forth in the no-action relief entitled “No-Action Relief from the Commodity Pool Operator Registration Requirement for Commodity Pool Operators of Certain Pooled Investment Vehicles Organized as Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts” and believe we meet the criteria for such relief set forth therein.
Our critical accounting policies that require us to make significant judgments or estimates are described below. For more information on these critical accounting policies and other significant accounting policies, see “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Valuation of Financial Instruments
Residential Investment Securities
There is an active market for our Agency mortgage-backed securities, Agency debentures, CRT securities and non-Agency mortgage-backed securities. Since we primarily invest in securities that can be valued using actively quoted prices, there is a high degree of observable inputs and less subjectivity in measuring fair value. Internal market values are determined using quoted prices from the To-Be-Announced (or TBA) security market, the Treasury curve and the underlying characteristics of the individual securities, which may include coupon, periodic and life caps, reset dates and the expected life of the security. Prepayment rates are difficult to predict and are a significant estimate requiring judgment in the valuation of Agency mortgage-backed securities. All internal market values are compared to external pricing sources and/or dealer quotes for reasonableness. Additionally, securities used as collateral for repurchase agreements are priced daily by counterparties to ensure sufficient collateralization, providing additional verification of our internal pricing.

ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Commercial Real Estate Investments
A commercial mortgage-backed security classified as available-for sale must be evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment if the fair value of the security is lower than its amortized cost. Determining whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment may require us to exercise significant judgment and make estimates to determine expected cash flows incorporating assumptions such as changes in interest rates and loss expectations. For commercial real estate loans and preferred equity investments classified as held for investment, we apply significant judgment in in evaluating the need for a loss reserve. Estimated net recoverable value of the commercial real estate loans and preferred equity investments and other factors such as the fair value of any collateral, the amount and status of senior debt, the prospects of the borrower and the competitive landscape where the borrower conducts business must be considered in determining the allowance for loan losses. For commercial real estate loans held for sale, significant judgment may need to be applied in determining fair value of the loans and whether a valuation allowance is necessary. Factors that may need to be considered to determine fair value of a loan held for sale include the borrower’s credit quality, liquidity and other market factors, and the fair value of the underlying collateral.
Interest Rate Swaps
We use the overnight indexed swap (or OIS) curve as an input to value substantially all of our uncleared interest rate swaps. We believe using the OIS curve, which reflects the interest rate typically paid on cash collateral, enables us to most accurately determine the fair value of uncleared interest rate swaps. Consistent with market practice, we exchange collateral (also called margin) based on the fair values of our interest rate swaps. Through this margining process, we may be able to compare our recorded fair value with the fair value calculated by the counterparty, providing additional verification of our recorded fair value of the uncleared interest rate swaps. We value our cleared interest rate swaps using the prices provided by the derivatives clearing organization.
Revenue Recognition
Interest income from coupon payments is accrued based on the outstanding principal amounts of the Residential Investment Securities and their contractual terms. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of the Residential Investment Securities are amortized or accreted into interest income over the projected lives of the securities using the interest method. We use third-party model and market information to project prepayment speeds. Our prepayment speed projections incorporate underlying loan characteristics (e.g., coupon, term, original loan size, original loan to value, etc.) and market data, including interest rate and home price index forecasts, and expert judgment. Prepayment speeds vary according to the type of investment, conditions in the financial markets and other factors and cannot be predicted with any certainty. Changes to model assumptions, including interest rates and other market data, as well as periodic revisions to the model will cause changes in the results. Adjustments are made for actual prepayment activity as it relates to calculating the effective yield. The results computed by the model are compared to projections computed by third party models for reasonableness. Gains and losses on sales of Residential Investment Securities are recorded on trade date based on the specific identification method.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
Determining whether an entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE requires significant judgment related to assessing the purpose and design of the VIE and determination of the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. We must also identify explicit and implicit variable interests in the entity and consider our involvement in both the design of the VIE and its ongoing activities. To determine whether consolidation of the VIE is required, we must apply judgment to assess whether we have the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and whether we have either the rights to receive benefits or obligation to absorb losses that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
Use of Estimates
The use of GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are contained within the section titled “Risk Management” of Item 2. “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (the CFO), reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed, (1) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, by our employees, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (2) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
76
ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
From time-to-time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. At June 30, 2016, we were not party to any pending material legal proceedings.
Other than the following risk factors, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A – Risk Factors of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. The materialization of any risks and uncertainties identified in our Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements contained in this report together with those disclosed below and those previously disclosed in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or those that are presently unforeseen could result in significant adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this quarterly report or our most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
Risks Related to the Hatteras Acquisition
We may fail to realize all of the expected benefits of the Hatteras Acquisition or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected.
The full benefits of the Hatteras Acquisition may not be realized as expected or may not be achieved within the anticipated time-frame, or at all. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Hatteras Acquisition could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, cause dilution to our earnings per share or book value per share, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the Hatteras Acquisition, and negatively impact the share price of our common stock.
In addition, we are devoting significant attention and resources to successfully integrate the Hatteras portfolio and operating businesses into the existing Annaly structure. In particular, we have limited experience operating Hatteras’ servicing platforms and managing Hatteras’ mortgage servicing rights (or MSRs) portfolio. These activities present additional regulatory constraints and pose operational risks different from those that we have successfully managed in the past. This integration process, coupled with managing new business lines, may disrupt our businesses and, if ineffective, would limit the anticipated benefits of the Hatteras Acquisition and could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, cause dilution to our earnings per share or book value per share, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the Hatteras Acquisition, and negatively impact the share price of our common stock.
We have incurred direct and indirect costs as a result of the Hatteras Acquisition.
We have incurred substantial expenses in connection with and as a result of the Hatteras Acquisition and we expect to incur additional expenses in connection with combining the businesses, operations, policies and procedures of the two companies. Factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or timing of these expenses, many of which, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately.
Investments in MSRs may expose us to additional risks.
Our investments in MSRs may subject us to certain additional risks, including the following:
·
|
Investments in MSRs are highly illiquid and subject to numerous restrictions on transfer and, as a result, there is risk that we would be unable to locate a willing buyer or get required approval to sell MSRs in the future should we desire to do so.
|
·
|
We have limited experience operating a master servicer and while ownership of MSRs and the operation of a master servicer includes many of the same risks as our other target assets, including risks related to prepayments, borrower credit, defaults, interest rates, hedging, and regulatory changes, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully operate a master servicer subsidiary and integrate it into our business operations.
|
77
ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
·
|
Our subsidiary’s status as a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae approved servicer is subject to compliance with each of their respective selling and servicing guidelines, minimum capital requirements and other conditions they may impose from time to time at their discretion. The failure to meet such guidelines and conditions could result in the unilateral termination of our subsidiary’s status as an approved servicer.
|
·
|
Our subsidiary is presently licensed in all states to hold MSRs, and to purchase whole loans, where a license is necessary to carry on such activities. Such state licenses may be revoked by a state regulatory authority.
|
·
|
Our rights to the excess servicing spread are subordinate to the interests of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, and are subject to extinguishment. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac each require approval of the sale of excess servicing spreads pertaining to their respective MSRs. We have entered into acknowledgement agreements or subordination of interest agreements with them, which acknowledge our subordinated rights.
|
·
|
Changes in minimum servicing compensation for agency loans could occur at any time and could negatively impact the value of the income derived from MSRs.
|
If we are not able to successfully manage these and other risks related to investing and managing MSRs, it may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
On August 5, 2015 we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding common shares through December 31, 2016. No shares were repurchased during the quarter
ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, the maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under this plan was $783.0 million.
