Chimera Investment Corporation filed its annual report describing a strategic shift toward a vertically integrated residential mortgage platform. In October 2025 it acquired HomeXpress Mortgage Corp. for total consideration of $272 million, including $124 million of adjusted book value, a $120 million cash premium, and 2,077,151 common shares, creating a new Residential Origination segment alongside its Investment Portfolio segment.
As of December 31, 2025, the investment portfolio by fair value was 65% residential mortgage loans, 23% Agency MBS, 5% Non‑Agency RMBS and less than 1% MSR interests, with about 6% of portfolio capital in loans held for sale. Chimera sponsored three securitizations during 2025 under its “R”, “NR” and “I” programs and continued to retain subordinate and IO interests, often as first‑loss positions.
HomeXpress originated and acquired approximately $3.4 billion of mortgage loans in 2025 versus $2.5 billion in 2024, focused mainly on consumer Non‑QM and investor business‑purpose loans funded via seven warehouse facilities totaling $1.4 billion of capacity, with $802 million outstanding at year‑end. Consolidated debt‑to‑equity rose to 5.1:1 from 4.0:1, reflecting a higher allocation to liquid Agency RMBS.
Chimera Investment Corporation reported stronger results for Q4 and full-year 2025 and outlined a higher dividend for 2026.

Book value was $19.70 per common share and the quarter’s economic return was (0.9)%. For 2025, GAAP net income available to common shareholders rose to $144 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, and earnings available for distribution reached $141 million, or $1.68 per adjusted diluted share, producing a 7.4% economic return and an 8.9% return on average equity. The new Residential Origination segment (HomeXpress) generated Q4 net income of $8 million and EBTDA of $11 million on $1.0 billion of funded production. Management announced an increase in the quarterly common dividend to $0.45 per share beginning in Q1 2026 and currently expects to maintain that level for the rest of 2026.
