Why It Matters
These preliminary metrics—book value per share and economic return on book value—are key indicators investors use to assess a mortgage REIT’s capital value and performance.

Because the figures disclosed are preliminary and furnished under Regulation FD, investors should expect final, audited quarterly results when the company files its full earnings release and periodic reports.
