Michael Strauss, American Home's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the first quarter of 2006 our company regained its financial footing, with revenues and income for the quarter coming in slightly better than anticipated. In particular, our company's first quarter gain on sale margin from loans sold to third parties returned to a more typical rate of 1.27%, resulting in revenue from loans sold to third parties of $171.9 million. By contrast, in the fourth quarter of 2005, our gain on sale margin was 0.96%, resulting in revenue from loans sold to third parties of $105.4 million. During the first quarter of 2006, our company's net interest income, including $3.9 million of carry earnings on free standing swaps, was $50.5 million, compared to $51.3 million, including $1.0 million of free standing swap carry earnings, in the fourth quarter of 2005. The $50.5 million of net interest income included $30.3 million of net interest income from our portfolio of securitized loans and mortgage securities, $9.4 million of net interest income from loans held for investment which are pending securitization, $18.6 million of net interest income on warehouse loans held for sale and $7.8 million of interest expense associated with trust preferred, servicing financing and other borrowings. By contrast, the $51.3 million of net interest income earned during the fourth quarter of 2005 consisted of $30.8 million of net interest income from our portfolio, $2.1 million of net interest income from investment loans pending securitization, $24.3 million of net interest income from warehouse loans held for sale, and $5.9 million of interest expense for trust preferred, servicing financing and other borrowings. During the first quarter of 2006, our company's loan production was $13.2 billion compared to $13.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005. While production was down slightly on a quarter-over-quarter basis, our company's market share, based on Freddie Mac's projection of the national market, reached a record 2.55% of US originations in the first quarter, up sharply from our 2.02% share in the fourth quarter of 2005. During the first quarter each of our retail, wholesale and correspondent channels gained share. Changes in the valuation of our assets had only a limited impact on our financial results in the first quarter. During the quarter our investment portfolio experienced a gain excluding carry earnings from free standing swaps, which increased income $4.5 million, and which resulted in other comprehensive income of $14.0 million. The gain was partially offset by write-downs and reserving associated with our servicing assets which reduced after-tax income by $4.5 million. During the first quarter of 2006, our company added $970.3 million principal amount of self-originated loans to its investment portfolio. These loans had a market value of $991.2 million, but were carried at their cost basis of $977.2 million. Our company anticipates that its future period net interest income will be enhanced by adding self-originated loans to its investment portfolio that are carried at their cost. We also anticipate that the volume of self-originated loans added to our portfolio will increase in the second quarter due to the positive impact of seasonality on our total loan production. Based upon our results and prospects, I am very pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has again voted to increase our dividend policy, increasing the quarterly policy to $0.96 per common share, or $3.84 per common share on an annualized basis. The increased dividend is expected to be effective for the dividends to be paid in July 2006. This is the twelfth increase in our quarterly dividends since our company began paying dividends in April 2001." FIRST QUARTER RESULTS During the first quarter of 2006, American Home's mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities in portfolio averaged $11.1 billion, and earned net interest income of $26.4 million equal to a net interest margin of 0.95%. In addition, during the quarter, the Company earned $3.9 million of positive carry on interest rate swaps which economically hedge the trading portion of the Company's portfolio. Under accounting rules these swaps are classified as free standing derivatives and consequently are not included in GAAP net interest income, but are instead included in unrealized gains and losses on mortgage backed securities and derivatives. For the first quarter, the combined net interest income and positive swap carry was $30.3 million, or 1.09% of average portfolio assets. By comparison, during the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company's mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities portfolio averaged $10.5 billion and earned net interest income of $29.8 million equal to a net interest margin of 1.17%. During the fourth quarter, the Company had $1.0 million of positive carry on the interest rate swaps which economically hedge the trading portion of the Company's portfolio. Consequently, in the fourth quarter the combined net interest income and positive swap carry was $30.8 million, or 1.21% of average portfolio assets. During the first quarter of 2006, American Home's inventory of loans averaged $9.6 billion, earned a net interest margin of 1.16% and earned net interest income of $28.0 million. This compares with an average balance of $8.6 billion, a net interest margin of 1.28% and net interest income of $26.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company had interest expense on trust preferred, servicing financing and other obligations of $7.8 million compared to $5.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2005. At March 31, 2006, the composition of the Company's loans held for investment and MBS portfolio by type of loan was 60.5% 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgages ("ARMs"), 29.2% short reset ARMs, 3.1% 3/1 ARMs, 1.6% HELOC and closed end seconds and 5.6% other fixed and ARM types. The composition of the MBS portfolio by credit quality based on Standard & Poor's ratings was 93.5% Agency and AAA, 4.0% AA, A, BB and BBB and 2.5% unrated. On March 31, 2006, the MBS portfolio's duration, net of liabilities and hedges, was estimated to be 0.15 years and its projected average life was 2.60 years. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company's loan production was $13.2 billion. Of the $13.2 billion, 49% of loans were to homebuyers while 51% were for refinancing. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company estimates its national market share reached 2.55%, based on Freddie Mac's recent forecast of national market size, compared to 2.02% in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 1.17% during the first quarter of 2005. At March 31, 2006, the Company employed approximately 2,680 loan officers and account executives, including call center representatives, but excluding sales assistants, compared to approximately 2,373 on December 31, 2005. During the quarter, the Company continued to pursue its strategy of holding loans in its investment portfolio, which are carried at their cost, less any associated loan loss allowance. The amount of such loans placed into the investment portfolio during the quarter was $970.3 million. These loans had an excess of fair value over carrying value of $14.0 million, or 1.44% of principal. During the quarter, the Company sold $13.5 billion of non-securitized loans to third parties for a gain, net of hedges, fees and direct costs, of $171.9 million. During the quarter, the Company recognized realized and unrealized gains, net of hedges, on the value of its securities portfolio of $22.4 million, of which $8.4 million resulted in current period income, and $14.0 million resulted in other comprehensive income. During the quarter, income associated with the Company's servicing assets was $5.7 million. Effective at the beginning of the first quarter, the Company adopted the newly issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156 - Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 ("SFAS 156") and elected the fair value option to subsequently measure its mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"). Under the fair value option, all changes in the fair value of MSRs are reported in the income statement. The Company's results from servicing include $24.3 million of servicing fee revenue, $18.7 million of reduction in fair value due to servicing runoff and $0.1 million of gain due to higher interest rates reducing projected future runoff. In addition, the Company took a charge to retained earnings in the amount of $2.9 million as a result of its adoption of SFAS 156. At the end of the quarter, the principal amount of the loans being serviced including loans held for sale and loans held for investment was $34.8 billion, compared to $30.7 billion at the end of the fourth quarter. The Company's total revenues for the quarter were $233.1 million. Of these revenues, $46.6 million was from net interest income, $171.9 million was from sales of newly originated mortgage loans including origination fees and net of hedges, $24.3 million was from mortgage servicing fees, $8.4 million was from realized and unrealized gains on mortgage securities held, net of hedges, and $1.8 million was from other sources. Revenues were decreased by $18.6 million of change in fair value of servicing assets and $1.3 million of provision for loan losses. During the quarter, the Company's expenses were $162.4 million, and the Company's pre-tax income was $70.7 million. During the quarter, the Company's taxable subsidiary had pre-tax income of $38.9 million resulting in tax expense of $16.2 million. Consequently, net income for the quarter was $54.5 million while preferred dividends were $3.3 million and net income available to common stockholders was $51.2 million, resulting in earnings per diluted share of $1.02. Book value attributable to common stockholders on March 31, 2006 was $1.1 billion, or $22.01 per common share, compared to $1.1 billion, or $21.62 per common share, on December 31, 2005. EARNINGS GUIDANCE American Home is reaffirming its 2006 earnings guidance of $4.85 to $5.15 per diluted share. The Company expects the distribution of 2006 earnings among the year's quarters will be affected by seasonality in the Company's loan origination segment and by progressively increasing net interest income due to the Company's buildup of its investment portfolio. DIVIDEND POLICY American Home's dividend policy is increasing to $0.96 per share per quarter or $3.84 per share on an annualized basis. The dividend policy is increasing due to the Company's strong quarter, and its projected earnings for the balance of 2006. Investors are advised that the Company's earnings projections are based on a number of assumptions, and if such assumptions do not materialize the Company may not be able to maintain its dividend policy. The Company's dividend policy does not constitute an obligation to pay dividends, which only occurs when its Board of Directors declares a dividend. The dividend policy is subject to ongoing review by the Board of Directors based on, among other things, the Company's business prospects, financial condition, earnings projections and cash flow projections, and the Board may, when it deems doing so is advisable, lower or eliminate the dividend without prior notice. OTHER COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS During the quarter, the Company completed its acquisition of Waterfield Financial. The Waterfield acquisition was closely aligned with the Company's strategy of growing its origination capabilities through acquisitions of established franchises available for purchase at reasonable prices. In connection with its acquisition of Waterfield, the Company acquired Waterfield's closed loan inventory which consisted of $559 million of residential mortgage loans.
