Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE:CIM) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s GAAP net income for the first quarter was $139 million, or $0.54 per common share. Core earnings(1) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $87 million, or $0.36 per common share.

“This quarter we took many proactive steps towards portfolio optimization and the expansion of Chimera’s core earnings. Through re-securitization activity, we lowered the financing cost and freed up capital for future accretive investments”, said Mohit Marria, Chimera’s CEO and Chief Investment Officer. “Securitization of our mortgage assets provides Chimera with low-cost, long-term, non-recourse financing. We expect the re-securitizations from this quarter to benefit our portfolio for a long period of time.”

(1) Core earnings per adjusted diluted common share is a non-GAAP measure. See additional discussion on page 5.
