What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Stable credit/performance: “All affordable multifamily MRB and GIL investments are current on contractual principal and interest payments” .
- Accelerated funding pipeline: strong deployment driven by construction drawdowns and new investments; “we continue to see attractive opportunities in all of our business lines” .
- Hedging and swap positioning: net receiver on swaps (receive compounded SOFR 5.35%, pay fixed 3.49% on ~$366M notional), supporting CAD resilience; ~$3.6M expected cash over six months, ~+$0.16 CAD per BUC if rates hold .
- JV equity progress: multiple properties stabilized and leasing; no material supply chain/labor disruptions reported .
What Went Wrong
- Book value down QoQ: diluted BV fell $0.61 to $13.98, primarily from fair value declines as tax‑exempt rates rose ~15 bps across the curve .
- Rate/macro headwinds: “continued volatility in rates, persistently higher interest rates and cost inflation” challenged developer feasibility, increasing reliance on subsidies/soft money .
- Margin volatility from derivatives: net results from derivative transactions remain a significant non‑cash driver of GAAP results, contributing to variability across periods .

Management Commentary
- “We saw steady performance from our investment portfolio during the second quarter… We are staying focused on finding ways to take advantage of the significant investment opportunities that we see in the current market environment.” — CEO, press release .
- “We are currently a net receiver on substantially all of our interest rate swaps… Assume… a 186 bps spread would result in… approximately $3.6 million… which would… be… an additional $0.16 per unit in CAD.” — CEO, prepared remarks .
- “Tax exempt rates increased approximately 15 basis points… resulting in… decrease in the fair value… We expect changes in fair value to have no direct impact on… operating cash flows, net income or CAD.” — CFO .
- “We continue to see attractive opportunities in all of our business lines.” — CFO, Q&A on deployment .
Q&A Highlights
- Deployment acceleration: Q2 gross deployment ~3x Q1 driven by construction drawdowns and new investments; pipeline viewed as solid .
- Liquidity stance: Two LOCs (general up to $50M, acquisition line) plus cash; maintain flexibility for opportunities and collateral needs .
- One-off MRB sale: ~$1.01M gain tied to defeasance and AMT bond funding considerations; not a shift to trading strategy .
- GIL extensions: Sponsors optimizing NOI to upsize Freddie forward perm loans locked 30–36 months ago; expect continued theme .
- Hedging philosophy: Maintain low exposure to unhedged variable debt; aim to minimize interest rate volatility in net income/CAD .
- Capital raising: Will pursue Preferred B and other capital when accretive opportunities arise; not raising capital for its own sake .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for EPS and Revenue around Q2 2024 were unavailable due to data access limits at the time of this analysis; as a result, beat/miss versus Street cannot be assessed.*
- Near-term estimate revisions may focus on: CAD trajectory given swap cash receipts, deployment pace into MRBs/GILs/JV equity, and book value sensitivity to MMD movements .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- CAD resilient: Swap positioning and disciplined hedging support CAD despite rate volatility; Q2 CAD per BUC rose to $0.27 vs $0.23 in Q1 .
- Deployment momentum: Strong Q2 funding suggests rising earning assets over the next 12–24 months as commitments convert and construction drawdowns continue .
- Credit stability: No forbearance requests and current payments across MRB/GILs; stabilized occupancy near 92% underscores asset performance .
- Book value sensitivity: BV declined with higher tax-exempt rates; partial reversal likely if MMD rally persists, but management emphasizes spread income over mark-to-market .
- Liquidity adequate: Cash/LOCs sufficient to fund commitments and manage collateral calls; monitor LOC utilization and preferred issuance cadence .
- JV equity exits: Merchant-build strategy continues; potential asset sales (e.g., Tomball) could deliver lumpier gains and influence supplemental distributions .
- Macro watch: Muni inflows and falling MMD yields improve technicals; better issuance windows could aid financing conditions for sponsors .
