News Release
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb 15, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. ("IMH") (NYSE: IMH), a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today reported net earnings of $257.6 million, or $3.72 per diluted common share, for 2004 as compared to net earnings of $149.0 million, or $2.88 per diluted common share, for 2003. Net earnings may fluctuate significantly when comparing year-over-year financial results as we record the change in the fair value of derivative instruments as an increase or decrease to net earnings. The change in the fair value of derivative instruments is a component of mark-to-market gain (loss)-derivative instruments on our statements of operations and, along with other book to tax adjustments, is reflected in the reconciliation of estimated taxable income available to common stockholders to net earnings that is provided in tabular form in this press release for both IMH and Impac Funding Corporation ("IFC"), our qualified taxable REIT subsidiary. The change in fair value of derivatives was an increase to net earnings of $103.7 million for 2004 as compared to an increase to net earnings of $38.8 million for 2003.
Estimated taxable income available to common stockholders was $202.9 million, or $2.97 per diluted common share for 2004, as compared to actual taxable income of $127.5 million, or $2.46 per diluted common share, for 2003, which represents a per share year-over-year increase of 21%. We paid common stock dividends of $202.7 million, or $2.90 per diluted common share, which was a distribution of substantially all of our estimated taxable income for 2004. As a REIT, we pay dividends to our stockholders based on taxable income which is derived by recognizing the differences between book income, or net earnings as determined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and taxable income as reported upon the filing of our annual federal tax returns. Because a portion of the total common stock dividends paid to our stockholders during 2004 was the result of dividends paid from IFC to IMH, which are qualifying dividends under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, 18.3%, or $0.53 per common share of total common stock dividends paid in 2004, will be taxed at the qualifying tax rate (15%) and 81.7%, or $2.37 per common share of total common stock dividends paid in 2004, will be taxed as ordinary income.

annualized fourth quarter dividend of $0.75 per common share and a
closing stock price of $22.67
* Total return to common stockholders was 40.42% based on common stock
price appreciation of $4.46 per common share and common stock
dividends declared of $2.90 per common share
* IFC, the mortgage operations, acquired and originated $22.2 billion of
primarily non-conforming Alt-A mortgages ("Alt-A mortgages") for 2004
which was a 134% increase over $9.5 billion for 2003
* The long-term investment operations retained $16.9 billion of Alt-A
mortgages and originated $458.5 million of small-balance, multi-family
mortgages ("multi-family mortgages") for 2004 compared to $5.8 billion
and $290.5 million, respectively, for 2003
* The long-term investment operations securitized $17.7 billion of
mortgages as collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") to finance
the acquisition and origination and retention of Alt-A and
multi-family mortgages for long-term investment, which placed us 18th
worldwide in the amount of mortgage-backed securitizations issued.
Another Record Year for Loan Acquisitions and Originations and Portfolio Growth
Joseph R. Tomkinson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., commented, "We experienced phenomenal growth during 2004 as our balance sheet grew 125% to $23.8 billion, total market capitalization grew by 70% to $1.7 billion and book value per common share rose 41% to $11.80 as of year-end. This growth was primarily fueled by record levels of mortgage production as Alt-A mortgage acquisitions and originations grew 134% to $22.2 billion of which $16.9 billion was retained on our balance sheet for long-term investment in addition to $458.5 million of multi-family mortgages originated and retained. Mortgage acquisitions and originations grew substantially even as nationwide originations of 1-4 family mortgages declined by 26% according to numbers published by the Mortgage Bankers Association. We were able to accomplish record levels of mortgage acquisitions and originations as we focus on purchase money transactions as opposed to refinancing transactions. We continue to work with our correspondent customers to help them expand their Alt-A origination platforms in addition to adding new correspondent clients."
Total acquisitions and originations increased across all loan production channels during 2004. Correspondent flow acquisitions rose 104% to $11.0 billion, correspondent bulk acquisitions rose 286% to $8.5 billion, wholesale and retail originations rose 33% to $2.0 billion and sub-prime originations rose 38% to $684.8 million for 2004. Correspondent bulk acquisitions are mortgages that we acquired from our approved correspondents that are not underwritten specifically to our guidelines but under similar Alt-A loan programs.
Due to record loan acquisitions and originations and our ability to raise additional capital and increase borrowing limits on available financing arrangements, the long-term investment operations retained $16.9 billion of mortgages from the mortgage operations and originated an additional $458.5 million of multi-family mortgages. As a result, average mortgage assets rose by 110% to $16.6 billion for 2004 as compared to $7.9 billion for 2003.
Trends in Net Interest Margins on Mortgage Assets
Adjusted net interest margins on mortgage assets, which excludes amortization of loan discounts and includes net cash payments on derivative instruments and is further defined and presented in tabular form as yield analysis on mortgage assets, declined by 19 basis points to 1.16% during 2004 as compared to 1.35% during 2003. Adjusted net interest margins on mortgage assets declined during 2004 primarily due to (1) an increase in short-term interest rates, (2) an increase in the amortization of loan premiums, securitization costs and bond discounts as a result of higher than expected mortgage prepayments and, to a lesser extent, (3) higher leverage and lower net interest margins on certain CMOs completed during the second half of 2004.
During 2004, the Federal Reserve Bank raised short-term interest rates, which affect movements in one-month LIBOR, a total of 125 basis points. This caused borrowing costs on adjustable rate CMOs, which are tied to one-month LIBOR and re-price monthly without limitation, to rise at a faster pace than coupons on six-month LIBOR adjustable rate mortgages securing CMOs, which represents approximately 30% of our long-term mortgage portfolio and re-price every six-months with limitation. However, net interest margin compression was partially offset by our interest rate risk management program as interest rate derivative costs declined 6 basis points to 55 basis points of average mortgage assets during 2004 as compared to 61 basis points during 2003. Total net cash outlays on derivative instruments during 2004 were $91.9 million as compared to $47.8 million during 2003. Net cash payments on derivative instruments along with the change in unrealized fair value of derivatives comprise substantially all of the mark-to-market gain (loss)-derivative instruments on our statements of operations.
Along with an increase in short-term interest rates, our expectation, based on past experience, was that a corresponding decline in mortgage prepayment rates would follow. However, mortgage prepayment rates accelerated during the latter part of 2004. There is recent mortgage industry evidence which documents that the substantial increase in home appreciation rates over the last three years was a significant factor affecting Alt-A borrowers refinance decisions during 2004. Borrowers appear willing to use home equity to pay loan prepayment penalties in order obtain lower monthly payments by refinancing into other mortgage products, including interest-only and high loan-to-value mortgage products.
Actual prepayment rates in excess of projected future prepayment rates resulted in a cumulative upward adjustment in both the amortization rate and amortization amount of loan premiums, securitization costs and bond discounts during the fourth quarter of 2004. As such, amortization of loan premiums and securitization expenses increased by 12 basis points to 1.00% of average mortgage assets during 2004 as compared to 0.88% of average mortgage assets during 2003. A substantial portion of our long-term mortgage investment portfolio consists of mortgages with prepayment penalty features that are primarily designed to help minimize the rate of early mortgage prepayments. However, if mortgages do prepay, a prepayment penalty is charged which helps to offset additional amortization of loan premiums and securitization costs. During 2004, prepayment penalties received from borrowers was recorded as interest income and increased the yield on average mortgage assets by 6 basis points. Therefore, prepayment penalty income offset the effect of increased amortization of loan premiums and securitization costs due to higher than expected prepayments by approximately 50%.
Mr. Tomkinson, remarked, "By design, our current interest rate risk management program provides 20% to 25% coverage of the outstanding principal amount of six-month LIBOR ARMs and 75% to 85% coverage of the outstanding principal balance of intermediate, or hybrid, ARMs at the point in time that we securitize the mortgages. Gradual interest rate increases as expected from the Federal Reserve Bank during 2005 may over the short-term continue to adversely affect net interest margins on mortgages securing CMOs until coupons on adjustable rate mortgages become fully adjusted. However, we continue to believe that our interest rate risk management program will help to mitigate the effect of increases in short-term interest rates and will continue to provide more consistent net interest income and net earnings over the course of the year."
Outlook for 2005 -- Fundamentals are Solid with Prospects for the Long-Term Positive
Mr. Tomkinson, said, "We have historically and continue to acquire and originate purchase money transactions as opposed to refinance transactions. This is significant as the overall decline in nationwide 1-4 family originations during 2004 was primarily due to a 50% decline in refinance activity. On the other hand, purchase money transactions rose 23% during 2004. Purchase money transactions continue to remain strong and based on current economic data and Mortgage Bankers Association projections of only a 4% decline in purchase money volumes during 2005, we expect continued strength in the purchase money market during 2005, which should result in a good year of mortgage production.
"In anticipation of a more competitive environment in 2005, during 2004 we focused on providing our correspondents and broker's access to and training on our proprietary web-based underwriting system to allow them to expand their Alt-A mortgage origination platforms, increase their mortgage production levels and in turn deliver a higher level of mortgages to our mortgage operations for acquisition. In addition, in January of 2005, we acquired certain assets and assumed selected liabilities along with the hiring of personnel of a wholesale mortgage banker that specializes in the origination of high quality Alt-A mortgages. This will allow us to expand our mortgage operations into areas of the country where we do not currently have a significant presence. Our strategy for 2005 includes, among other things, additions to sales personnel to increase our correspondent and broker customer base, further penetration into builder business, the continued marketing of new products and services and high customer service levels."
Portfolio Growth, Profitability and Dividends
Mr. Tomkinson, commented, "In 2005, while it appears that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise short term interest rates at a measured pace, we believe that margin compression will begin to stabilize as mortgages held for long-term investment begin to re-price to fully-indexed rates over the course of this year. We believe that prepayments on mortgages held for long-term investment should slow as interest rates continue to rise and home appreciation slows to a more normalized pace. We also expect to follow similar interest rate risk management programs that should protect net interest income and net earnings from dramatic upward spikes in short-term interest rates.
"Furthermore, we expect moderate balance sheet growth as we anticipate annual acquisitions and originations to remain relatively unchanged from 2004 levels in combination with our strategy of selling a greater percentage of acquisitions and originations to third party investors. Moderate balance sheet growth combined with sufficient capital liquidity should reduce our need to raise capital during 2005. Our goal continues to be to provide consistent, reliable dividends to our stockholders."
We currently declare dividends on a quarterly basis and at such time the board of directors will declare the amount, the record date and the payment date. The board of directors has the right to change the dividend schedule at any time and without prior notice. We estimate the following dates of our dividend declaration, record and payment dates for 2005:

Fourth Quarter Results for 2004
For the fourth quarter of 2004, net earnings were $114.4 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $47.5 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2003. Net earnings may fluctuate significantly when comparing quarter-over-quarter financial results as we record the change in the fair value of derivative instruments as an increase or decrease to net earnings. The change in fair value of derivatives for the fourth quarter of 2004 was an increase to net earnings of $76.9 million as compared to an increase in net earnings of $16.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2003.
Estimated taxable income available to common stockholders was $50.2 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2004 as compared to estimated taxable income available to common stockholders of $38.2 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2003. A reconciliation of estimated taxable income available to common stockholders to net earnings is provided in tabular form in this press release for comparative purposes.
Estimated taxable income available to common stockholders, on a per common share basis, was relatively unchanged for the fourth quarter of 2004 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2003 primarily due to (1) a decline in adjusted net interest margins on mortgage assets, including the effect of an increase in amortization of loan premiums, securitization costs and bond discounts, as earlier described, and (2) an increase in weighted number of average common shares outstanding.
Net interest income increased 60% to $89.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2004 as compared to $55.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2003 as average mortgage assets grew by 144% to $22.0 billion from $9.0 billion, respectively. However, the increase in net interest income generated as a result of the growth of average mortgage assets during the fourth quarter of 2004 was partially offset as adjusted net interest margins on mortgage assets, which is further defined and presented in tabular form as yield analysis on mortgage assets, declined 79 basis points to 0.80% as compared to 1.59% during the fourth quarter of 2003. The decline in net interest margins during the fourth quarter of 2004 was primarily due to the same factors that affected net interest margins during 2004, as earlier described, which were (1) an increase in short-term interest rates, (2) an increase in the amortization of loan premiums, securitization costs and bond discounts due to higher than expected mortgage prepayments and (3) higher leverage and lower net interest margin on certain CMOs completed during the second half of 2004.
The growth in average mortgage assets during the fourth quarter of 2004 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2003 was driven by record mortgage acquisition and originations and retentions by the long-term investment operations. Total acquisitions and originations increased across all loan production channels during the fourth quarter of 2004. Correspondent flow acquisitions rose 88% to $3.2 billion, correspondent bulk acquisitions rose 193% to $2.5 billion, wholesale and retail originations rose 26% to $511.8 million and sub-prime originations rose 2% to $150.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2004.
Delay in Audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are announcing an update to the timing of our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, commonly referred to as "SOX 404." In substance, SOX 404 requires an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of a company's internal control over financial reporting, and an audit by its independent registered public accounting firm on management's assessment on internal control over financial reporting. At this time, we report that despite our plan to comply with SOX 404 in a timely manner, we believe that it is unlikely that we will meet the current SOX 404 requirements by the filing deadline of March 16, 2005. As previously disclosed, in July 2004, as part of our ongoing documentation and evaluation efforts in meeting SOX 404 requirements, we discovered an error in our financial statements. Such error resulted in a restatement of our financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. We also restated our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 as a result of a clerical error. The restatement process and the amended filings of the Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs were finalized in October of 2004. During our initial assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified certain documentation and control deficiencies that may rise to the level of significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, in addition to those previously disclosed as part of the restatement. These have been a focus of our remediation efforts prior to year end. As we complete our process, we will need to evaluate the severity of any remaining deficiencies both individually and in the aggregate in the context of our overall evaluation of internal control over financial reporting. As such, we may not be able to render a conclusion that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2004.
Mr. Tomkinson, commented, "While it is unlikely we will be able to complete the SOX 404 requirements on a timely basis, it doesn't come without tremendous effort and costs on the part of our employees. The restatement process of approximately three months demanded a significant amount of time and resources from senior management and personnel from our accounting and finance areas. In the first quarter of 2004, we hired consultants to advise us on our internal control over financial reporting and assist in the documentation and testing of internal controls. Furthermore, in 2004 as part of our ongoing evaluation of internal control as well as improvements relating to such, we hired a director of internal audit. Such action was taken to eliminate the reliance on a previously outsourced internal audit function and to strengthen our ability to monitor the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Even with the assistance of newly hired internal auditors and consultants, such time and resource commitment devoted to the restatement impacted our timetable related to our SOX 404 project plan and our ability to complete the documentation, assessment and evaluation of internal control over financial reporting. Our internal delays have impacted the timing of management's assessment and the audit over internal controls by our external auditors, which are ongoing."

(1) Adjusted net interest margin on mortgage assets exclude the accretion
of loan discounts related to the deferral of income from the sale of
mortgage servicing rights from IFC to IMH on mortgages retained by
IMH of $19.8 million and $6.3 million and the inclusion of net cash
payments on derivative instruments of $24.7 million and $11.4 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The accretion of these loan discounts is an adjustment to yield on
CMO collateral and is included in net interest income on the
consolidated income statement while net cash flows on derivative
instruments, or interest rate derivative costs, are included as a
component of mark-to-market gain (loss) - derivative instruments on
the consolidated income statement. For purposes of reconciling
adjusted net interest margin on mortgage assets, which is a non-GAAP
financial measurement, subtract accretion of loan discounts and net
cash payments on derivative instruments from total net interest
income on mortgage assets of $88.6 million and $55.6 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and
divide by total mortgage assets.
(2) Represents cost of amortization of net loan premiums and
securitization costs relative to average mortgage assets.
Amortization of net loan premiums and securitization costs were $48.2
million and $14.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
(3) Represents net cash payments on derivative instruments, or interest
rate derivative costs, relative to average mortgage assets. Interest
rate derivative costs were $24.7 million and $11.4 million for the
