AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (MITT)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 delivered a clean beat on Street EAD EPS and revenue as MITT executed four securitizations, tightened credit spreads, increased book value to $10.46, and expanded Arc Home ownership to 66%; EAD per diluted share was $0.23 vs consensus $0.20 and revenue was $30.2M vs consensus $20.0M, driven by stronger net interest income and other income from spread tightening *.
- GAAP diluted EPS rose to $0.47 (YoY +18%) on higher other income and stable expense control; quarterly economic ROE was 2.7%, and total liquidity stood at $104.2M .
- Dividend was maintained at $0.21/share, while leverage remained largely non-mark-to-market; GAAP leverage 14.9x and Economic leverage 1.7x, consistent with the securitization-centric financing mix .
- Catalysts: accelerating Arc Home contribution ($0.03 EAD/share), ongoing programmatic securitizations, rotation out of legacy WMC assets, and credit spread tailwinds; watch the commercial legacy resolution timeline (hotel sale now targeted 1H 2026) .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- “We increased book value, supported our dividend, and furthered our strategic growth with an expanded stake in Arc Home. Our core portfolio and operational efficiencies drove strong earnings, with Arc Home now contributing meaningfully to EAD.” — T.J. Durkin, CEO .
- Strong securitization and equity rotation: four securitizations executed; replacing high-cost legacy WMC financing returned ~$55M for reinvestment; unrealized gains from credit spread tightening boosted results .
- Arc Home contribution stepped up: record non-agency lock volumes, improved gain-on-sale margins, and $0.03 EAD/share contribution to MITT; ownership increased to 66% .
What Went Wrong
- Legacy WMC commercial headwinds persisted: retail property loan recorded an unrealized loss of $7.1M in Q3 and placed on cost recovery; hotel loans are on non-accrual with resolution deferred to 1H 2026 .
- Elevated GAAP leverage remains a structural feature of securitized financing (14.9x), though Economic leverage is low (1.7x); funding cost blended at ~5.4% leaves limited NIM (0.7%) .
- Q2 context: EAD missed consensus and was impacted by legacy WMC commercial loans; highlights sensitivity to legacy asset marks and timing of resolutions *.

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Q3 delivered a high-quality beat on both EAD/share and revenue; strength was broad-based, with securitization flow, spread tailwinds, and Arc Home contribution as key drivers *.
- Book value per share increased to $10.46 despite Arc Home share issuance dilution (~1.8%), underlining earnings power and mark-to-market tailwinds .
- Financing profile remains predominantly term, non mark-to-market securitized debt; monitor GAAP leverage (14.9x) vs low economic leverage (1.7x) for risk appetite and capacity to scale .
- Arc Home is now a material strategic lever: record locks, improved margins, and a $0.03 EAD/share contribution in Q3; continued expansion can support EAD trajectory into 2026 .
- Legacy WMC commercial exposure is small but still a swing factor; retail unrealized loss and extended hotel resolution timeline (1H 2026) warrant caution on near-term volatility .
- Dividend stability ($0.21/share) appears supported by Q3 EAD ($0.23/share), but future payout sustainability hinges on credit spreads, securitization volume, and Arc Home profitability .
- Trading implications: positive narrative around Arc Home and securitization cadence; watch for any spread widening or commercial marks that could reverse “other income” tailwinds and pressure EAD/Book .
