$IVR The strong momentum that began in mid-April continued throughout the third quarter, as financial markets benefited from expectations for easing monetary policy, strong corporate earnings and improved economic growth. Agency RMBS performed well, with declining interest rate volatility and robust investor demand driving higher valuations in most coupons. Additionally, swap spreads reversed a portion of their tightening experienced during the second quarter, providing a tailwind for performance. These factors led to a 4.5% increase in book value per common share to
$8.41 at quarter end, and, when combined with our
$0.34 dividend, resulted in a positive economic return of 8.7% for the quarter.
"Our debt-to-equity ratio was 6.7x at the end of the quarter, up slightly from 6.5x as of June 30, 2025 as we continued to reduce the percentage of our capital structure comprised of preferred stock and positioned the Company to further benefit from positive Agency RMBS performance.
