Announces Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call and Posting of Monthly Fact Sheet

 

NEWPORT BEACH, CA. – Tuesday, November 9, 2004– Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: IMH) (“IMH” or the “Company”), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), reports third quarter 2004 net earnings (loss) which decreased to a loss of $9.3 million, or a loss of $0.15 per diluted share as compared to net earnings of $44.6 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for third quarter 2003. Third quarter 2004 estimated taxable income available to common stockholders was $49.6 million or $0.69 per diluted common share as compared to $32.5 million or $0.61 per diluted common share. For a reconciliation of generally accepted accounting principles “GAAP” net earnings (loss) to estimated taxable income please refer to the enclosed schedule. The decrease in net earnings was primarily the result of a change in derivative instruments, whereby the Company now records the change in fair value of its derivative instruments as an expense or revenue reported as a mark-to-market gain (loss)–derivative instruments, and a decrease in gain on sale of loans. Prior to the Company’s restatement of its financial statements, the changes in fair value of derivative instruments were recorded as an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income. For a detailed discussion of these changes, please refer to the IMH’s third quarter 2004 Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which also includes a comprehensive explanation of the restatement of our financials results. IMH’s Form 10-Q is also available on the company’s Web site at www.impaccompanies.com .

 

Mr. Joseph R. Tomkinson, Chairman and CEO of Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. commented, “Despite the challenges of the third quarter, we are extremely pleased that the Company demonstrated its flexibility and maintained its dividend.” Mr. Tomkinson further commented, “We believe that the outlook for our business remains favorable and the Company reiterates its ability to maintain its quarterly dividend of at least $0.75 per common share.”
