News Explained

The July 13 release updates preliminary per-share values and share counts, but does not establish a committed issuance or dilution.

On July 13, 2026, Orchid Island Capital announced estimated second-quarter results and June 30 portfolio characteristics; the results remain preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by its independent registered public accounting firm, while the release reports 199,603,438 shares of common stock outstanding.

The company reported 199,603,438 shares outstanding on both June 30, 2026 and July 13, 2026, versus 196,700,226 shares on March 31, 2026.

For book value per share, the company defines the measure as total stockholders’ equity divided by total outstanding common shares; its estimated $7.22 per-share value therefore uses the reported share count and approximately $1.4 billion of preliminary equity.

The supplied dilution definition applies if additional shares were issued: absent offsetting changes, existing holders’ percentage ownership would be reduced, but this release reports the share counts without stating an issuance mechanism.

gaap financial
"Net income per common share calculated under generally accepted accounting principles can, and does, differ"
GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

reit financial
"Net income per common share calculated under generally accepted accounting principles can, and does, differ from our real estate investment trust ("REIT") taxable income."
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-producing real estate, like shopping centers, apartments, or office buildings. For investors, REITs offer a way to invest in real estate without having to buy property directly, often providing regular income through dividends. They function like a mutual fund for real estate, making it easier for people to add property investments to their portfolio.
investment company act of 1940 regulatory
"Investment Company Act of 1940 (Whole Pool) Test ResultsRepurchase Agreement Exposure"
A U.S. federal law that sets the rulebook for pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and similar money managers, requiring them to register with regulators, disclose holdings and fees, limit conflicts of interest, and follow governance standards. It matters to investors because these protections and transparency rules act like a referee and scoreboard, helping people compare funds, trust that managers follow fair practices, and spot hidden costs or risks.
repurchase agreement financial
"Repurchase Agreement Exposure by CounterpartyRMBS Risk Measures"
A repurchase agreement is a short-term loan in which one party sells a financial security (often government bonds) to another with a promise to buy it back at a slightly higher price on a set future date. Think of it like a pawn-shop loan using safe securities as collateral; it matters to investors because these agreements are a core way banks and funds get quick cash, influence short-term interest rates, and create exposure to counterparty and liquidity risk.

  • RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of June 30, 2026 

Vero Beach, Fla., July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ORC) announced today its estimated second quarter of 2026 results and portfolio characteristics as of June 30, 2026.

Shares Outstanding

As of July 13, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the Company had 199,603,438 shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 196,700,226 shares of common stock outstanding.

Estimated June 30, 2026 Book Value Per Share

The Company’s estimated book value per share as of June 30, 2026 was $7.22.  The Company computes book value per share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock. At June 30, 2026, the Company's preliminary estimated total stockholders' equity was approximately $1.4 billion with 199,603,438 shares of common stock outstanding. These figures and the resulting estimated book value per share are preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. 

Estimated Net Income Per Share and Realized and Unrealized Gains on RMBS and Derivative Instruments

The Company estimates it generated net income per share of $0.44 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which includes an estimated $0.18 per share of net realized and unrealized gains on RMBS and derivative instruments. These amounts compare to total dividends declared during the quarter of $0.30 per share. Net income per common share calculated under generally accepted accounting principles can, and does, differ from our real estate investment trust ("REIT") taxable income.  The Company views REIT taxable income as a better indication of income to be paid in the form of a dividend rather than net income. Many components of REIT taxable income can only be estimated at this time and our monthly dividends declared are based on both estimates of REIT taxable income to be earned over the course of the current quarter and calendar year and a longer-term estimate of the REIT taxable income of the Company. These figures are preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. 

Estimated Total Return on Equity

The Company’s estimated total return on equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was 6.2%. The Company calculates total return on equity as the sum of dividends declared and paid during the quarter plus changes in book value during the quarter, divided by the Company’s stockholders’ equity at the beginning of the quarter. The total return was $0.44 per share, comprised of dividends per share of $0.30 and an increase in book value per share of $0.14 from June 30, 2026.

RMBS Portfolio Characteristics

Details of the RMBS portfolio as of June 30, 2026 are presented below. These figures are preliminary and subject to change and, with respect to figures that will appear in the Company’s financial statements and associated footnotes as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, are subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm:
