(NYSE: IMH), a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today reported net earnings of $127.2 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, for 2003 compared to net earnings of $74.9 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, for 2002. Net earnings for the fourth quarter were $38.6 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $22.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2002 and $33.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2003.

Estimated taxable income for the fourth quarter was $40.3 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to estimated taxable income of $24.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2002 and $32.5 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2003. Please refer to the accompanying financial statements for the calculation of estimated taxable income and a reconciliation of estimated taxable income to net earnings.
Joseph R. Tomkinson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., commented, "Our operating results for 2003 exceeded our initial expectations as strong mortgage demand contributed to record loan production which drove balance sheet and earnings growth. Our accomplishments over last year include a 61% increase in total loan production, 62% increase in total assets, 70% increase in net earnings, 51% increase in estimated taxable income, 35% increase in book value and a 76% total annual return to stockholders. Our stock also began trading on the New York Stock Exchange and exceeded $1.0 billion in market capitalization during 2003. Our success in ever-changing interest rate environments and mortgage origination cycles is a testament to our flexibility and efficiency as an originator, acquirer, seller and investor in both fixed and adjustable-rate mortgages and the operating synergies of our various business units within our organizational structure."
Financial Highlights for 2003 -- Earnings per share increased 34% to $2.46 compared to $1.84 for 2002 -- Estimated taxable income per share increased 19% to $2.46 compared to actual taxable income per share of $2.07 for 2002 -- Cash dividends declared in 2003 increased 16% to $2.05 per share compared to $1.76 per share for 2002 -- Total assets increased 62% to $10.7 billion at year-end from $6.6 billion as of prior year-end -- Book value per share increased 35% to $9.02 at year-end compared to $6.70 as of prior year-end -- Return on average assets and equity was 1.55% and 38.26%, respectively, as compared to 1.70% and 28.70%, respectively, for 2002 -- Total market capitalization was approximately $1.0 billion at year-end compared to $521.2 million at prior year-end -- Dividend yield as of December 31, 2003 was 12.08%, based on an annualized fourth quarter dividend of $0.55 per share and a closing stock price of $18.21 -- Total return to stockholders was 76% based on common stock price appreciation of $6.71 per share and common stock dividends declared of $2.05 per share -- Impac Funding Corporation ("IFC"), the mortgage operations, acquired and originated $9.5 billion of primarily non-conforming Alt-A mortgages ("Alt-A mortgages"), a 61% increase over $5.9 billion for 2002 -- The long-term investment operations retained $5.8 billion of Alt-A mortgages and originated $290.5 million of small-balance, multi-family mortgages ("multi-family mortgages") compared to $3.9 billion and $25.8 million, respectively, for 2002 -- Allowance for loan losses increased to $38.6 million, or 39 basis points of loans provided for, at year-end compared to $26.6 million, or 45 basis points of loans provided for, as of prior year-end -- Average finance receivables to non-affiliates increased 77% to $604.1 million compared to $341.5 million for 2002 -- On July 1, 2003, IMH purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of IFC resulting in the consolidation of IFC's operating results with IMH for the last six months of 2003. Prior to July 1, 2003, 99% of IFC's earnings were recorded as equity in net earnings of IFC on IMH's consolidated financial statements. Management Commentary
Mr. Tomkinson remarked, "2003 did present some challenges the most significant of which was higher mortgage prepayment rates. Interest rates remained at historic lows throughout the first half of the year, followed by a rapid rise in the 10-year Treasury yield beginning in June of 2003 which resulted in an industry-wide contraction of mortgage refinance activity. The Mortgage Bankers Association refinance index before and after the spike in the 10-year Treasury yield declined 80% from a high of 9,979 in June of 2003 to 1,982 in August of 2003. However, our continuing focus on Alt-A mortgage products, which we believe are less sensitive to changes in interest rates, enabled us to increase loan volume year-over-year, including the last half of 2003 compared to the first half of 2003. To augment our growth strategy, we increased our bulk purchase of Alt-A mortgages that are substantially in conformance with our underwriting guidelines. This strategy, coupled with our highly competitive adjustable-rate mortgage programs, was very successful as we were able to add high credit quality mortgages with favorable loan-to-value ratios to our mortgage portfolio."
Mr. Tomkinson added, "Our interest rate bias for 2004 is much the same as 2003. We expect gradually increasing short-term interest rates as economic activity improves. We have already seen a significant shift from fixed-rate mortgages to adjustable-rate mortgages during the third and fourth quarters of 2003, as well as in our mortgage pipeline, as long-term interest rates trended higher. As a result of this trend, we expect to acquire and originate a higher percentage of our overall mortgage loan production in adjustable-rate mortgages throughout 2004. In order to maintain our strategy of retaining all adjustable-rate mortgages and continue growing our balance sheet in 2004, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional cash through the issuance of new shares of common stock. As a result of this plan, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue up to $500.0 million of new securities which became effective earlier this month."
Mr. Tomkinson concluded, "Although the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA") is predicting a 53% decline in residential originations in 2004, we expect our total mortgage loan production to remain relatively constant for 2004 as compared to 2003. The decline in the MBA estimates is primarily due to an anticipated 58% decline in mortgage refinance activity. Our mortgage refinance share has been historically below the national average and was 51% for 2003 compared to the MBA's estimated nation-wide refinance share of 66%. Furthermore, our fourth quarter of 2003 refinance share declined to 42% of total production as compared to 54% for the third quarter of 2003 while total production increased 15% over the same period. Therefore, we believe that the decline in refinance activity will not significantly affect our mortgage operations in 2004. Additionally, other recent economic indicators, including increases in existing home sales, residential construction activity and mortgage applications, reinforce our expectation for 2004. As a result, we expect that our adjustable-rate mortgage acquisitions and originations will be a higher percentage of total mortgage production in 2004 than in past years. Therefore, we anticipate less revenue from gain on sale of fixed-rate mortgages than was generated during 2003, which may result in slightly reduced earnings per share during the first and second quarters of 2004 than reported during the fourth quarter of 2003."
Mr. Tomkinson further commented, "It remains our goal to provide consistent and reliable dividends to our stockholders and, when appropriate, to increase our quarterly dividend to an amount that we believe is sustainable in the future. Therefore, during the fourth quarter of 2003, we increased our dividend 10% to $0.55 per share from the third quarter dividend of $0.50 per share. Additionally, with the passage of the tax reform act of 2003, all dividends paid by IFC to IMH are qualifying dividends taxed at a 15% tax rate. Based upon our estimated taxable income calculations for 2003 and the pro-rata share of dividends distributed by IFC, approximately 25% of the total dividends IMH paid to stockholders during 2003 will be taxed at a 15% tax rate while the remaining 75% of dividends will be taxed as ordinary income. This applies to the five dividends paid during 2003 which includes the dividend paid on January 9, 2003."
Highlights of Operating Results for 2003
The retention of $6.1 billion of mortgages for 2003 resulted in a 62% increase in total assets to $10.7 billion at year-end. To finance this growth, we raised net cash proceeds of $150.0 million through the sale of common stock which was accretive to book value and increased to $9.02 per share at year-end compared to $6.70 as of prior year-end. The rise in book value per share was also due to a decrease in unrealized loss on certain derivative instruments which decreased to a loss of $12.7 million at year-end as compared to a loss of $50.2 million at prior year-end. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS 133") the unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments is reflected as "Other Comprehensive Income" which is a component of stockholders' equity on our financial statements.
Net earnings generated from the long-term mortgage investment portfolio during 2003 represented 74% of consolidated net earnings compared to 77% during 2002. The percentage decrease partially reflects declining net interest margins during the second and third quarters of 2003, which was offset by increased profitability from the mortgage operations. Conversely, due to improving net interest margins and balance sheet growth, net earnings generated from the long-term mortgage investment portfolio comprised 87% of consolidated net earnings during the fourth quarter of 2003. Net interest margins improved 18 basis points to 1.59% during the fourth quarter of 2003 as compared to the third quarter of 2003 primarily as previously acquired interest rate hedging instruments ("hedges") that were much more expensive than recently acquired hedges expired during the latter part of 2003. Net interest margins also improved due to the steepness of the yield curve as the 10-year Treasury yield quickly rose after June of 2003, while short-term interest rates, primarily one-month LIBOR which is the indexed used to price our adjustable-rate CMO borrowings, remained relatively flat.
During 2003 the long-term investment operations retained $5.8 billion of primarily Alt-A mortgages from the mortgage operations and originated $290.5 million of multi-family mortgages by Impac Multifamily Capital Corporation ("IMCC") as compared to $3.9 billion and $25.8 million, respectively, during 2002. Of the $290.5 million of multi-family mortgages originated by IMCC during 2003, $62.7 million were sold to investors at a net gain of $1.0 million. Mortgages retained for long-term investment were primarily financed through the issuance of CMOs and the sale of common stock. In November and December 2003, we completed CMOs of approximately $1.0 billion each month, which provided long-term financing for mortgages primarily acquired and originated during the fourth quarter of 2003. The use of CMO borrowings allows more efficient and effective utilization of available capital and investment in operating businesses at favorable returns while having to raise less capital than may be required with other financing sources, such as reverse repurchase borrowings. As of December 31, 2003, 81% of the long-term mortgage investment portfolio consisted of mortgages with active prepayment penalties and 86% were adjustable-rate mortgages that had an original weighted average credit score of 694 and an original weighted average loan-to-value ("LTV") of 79%.
Result of Operations - Warehouse Lending Operations
Gretchen Verdugo, Executive Vice President of Impac Warehouse Lending Group, commented, "2003 was another outstanding year for us and our customers as we benefited from a better than projected mortgage origination market. We continued to provide favorable risk-adjusted returns and earnings contribution throughout 2003." Average outstanding advances to non-affiliated clients increased 77% to $604.1 million as compared to $341.5 million for 2002 as new clients were added and mortgage activity with existing clients reflected the industry-wide increase in mortgage demand during the first half of 2003. As of year-end approved warehouse lines to non-affiliated clients were $1.0 billion of which $630.0 million was outstanding as compared to $665.0 million and $664.0 million, respectively, as of prior year-end.
Results of Operations - Mortgage Operations
Net earnings increased 94% to $33.3 million for 2003 as compared to net earnings of $17.2 million for 2002. Year-over-year net earnings rose primarily as a result of an increase in gain on sale of mortgages which increased to $112.8 million for 2003 compared to $71.1 million for 2002. The increase in gain on sale of mortgages was due to higher sales volume during 2003 which was driven by record mortgage acquisitions and originations. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2003 were $4.9 million compared to net earnings of $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2002 and $11.5 million for the third quarter of 2003. Net earnings declined during the fourth quarter of 2003 as compared to the third quarter of 2003 as a smaller volume of fixed- rate mortgages were sold to third party investors. However, mortgage acquisitions and originations increased 15% during the fourth quarter of 2003 as compared to the third quarter of 2003 while fixed-rate mortgage production declined to $682.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2003 as compared to $1.2 billion during the third quarter of 2003.
The mortgage operations acquired and originated $9.5 billion of primarily Alt-A mortgages for 2003 compared to $5.9 billion for 2002, a 61% year-over- year increase, with adjustable-rate mortgages accounting for 58% of total mortgage acquisitions and originations during 2003 as compared to 62% during 2002. During the fourth quarter of 2003, as a result of the increase in the 10-year Treasury yield, we believe adjustable-rate mortgages became more attractive to borrowers than traditional fixed-rate mortgages. Adjustable- rate mortgage acquisitions and originations during the fourth quarter of 2004 were 75% of total loan production as compared to 53% during the third quarter of 2003. As of December 31, 2003, the mortgage operations' pipeline of rate- locked mortgage purchase commitments ("mortgage pipeline") was $1.5 billion, of which $1.2 billion were adjustable-rate mortgages and $337.6 million were fixed-rate mortgages. The mortgage operations acquired $2.2 billion of bulk mortgage acquisitions ("non-Impac mortgages"), or 23% of total mortgage production, for 2003 as compared to $164.6 million, or 3% of total mortgage production, for 2002. Non-Impac mortgages acquired for 2003 were primarily Alt-A mortgages that were underwritten to guidelines substantially similar to that of the mortgage operations but with better overall credit quality as the original weighted average credit score was 710 with an original weighted average LTV of 73% and average loan size of $274,000. Alt-A mortgages acquired or originated to our specific underwriting guidelines ("Impac mortgages") had an original weighted average credit score of 698 with an original weighted average LTV of 75% and an average loan size of $221,000.
William S. Ashmore, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "We anticipated a gradual increasing mortgage rate environment in 2003 and therefore implemented strategies in early 2003 that resulted in record mortgage acquisitions and originations and profitability. We believe that our business model, which includes centralized operating businesses and a long- term mortgage investment portfolio, gives us more flexibility in generating consistent, reliable earnings and dividends. Our goal of providing consistent and reliable risk-adjusted returns that outperform the market during changing interest rate environments was successful in 2003. Particularly notable was the mortgage operations' performance during the fourth quarter of 2003 which led to record acquisitions and originations during a general industry-wide decline. We are confident of future prospects for balance sheet and earnings growth as we believe momentum generated during the fourth quarter of 2003 positions us well for 2004."
