Orchid Island Capital experienced a turbulent second quarter in 2025, primarily due to market volatility from reciprocal tariffs and the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The company reported a net loss of $33.6 million, or $0.29 per common share, largely driven by net realized and unrealized losses on RMBS and derivative instruments. Despite the challenges, the company maintained a strong liquidity position and believes it is well-positioned to capture attractive returns in the Agency RMBS market.
Net loss for Q2 2025 was $33.6 million, a significant increase from a $5.0 million net loss in Q2 2024.
Book value per common share decreased by $0.73 to $7.21 at June 30, 2025, reflecting the net loss and dividend distribution.
The company maintained strong liquidity with $492.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and unpledged securities.
The adjusted leverage ratio was 7.3 to 1, and the company continued to increase its capital base while maintaining leverage at the lower end of its historical range.
Management believes the company is well-positioned to capitalize on attractive returns in the Agency RMBS market and benefit from a potential recovery in the sector, despite ongoing market volatility.
