MFA Financial, Inc. reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, revealing a net income of $48.1 million, or $0.36 per basic share, compared to $48.2 million, or $0.38 per share, in the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the company achieved a net income of $122.5 million, or $0.89 per share, up from $113.3 million, or $0.85 per share, in the prior year. The increase in net income for the nine-month period was primarily driven by a $23.7 million rise in net interest income, which totaled $175.6 million, alongside a reduction in operating expenses.

The company’s total assets increased to approximately $12.1 billion as of September 30, 2025, up from $11.4 billion at the end of 2024. This growth was largely attributed to a rise in residential whole loans, which amounted to $8.8 billion, and securities at fair value, which reached $2.3 billion. The company also reported a total stockholders' equity of $1.8 billion, reflecting a slight decrease from $1.8 billion at the end of the previous fiscal year. The decline in equity was influenced by an increase in preferred stock dividends, which rose to $29.6 million due to higher rates on the Series C preferred stock.

Operationally, MFA Financial's subsidiary, Lima One, originated $260 million in business purpose loans during the quarter, an increase from $217 million in the previous quarter. The company also made significant progress in reducing delinquencies, with the percentage of loans 60 days or more delinquent decreasing from 7.5% at the start of the year to 6.8% by the end of September. The company executed two securitizations during the quarter, issuing $672.8 million in securitized debt, which provided longer-term, non-recourse financing.

Looking ahead, MFA Financial expressed optimism about increasing its asset acquisitions, particularly in light of the recent clarity regarding interest rates and improved market conditions. The company plans to continue leveraging its capital-raising strategies, including its at-the-market offerings for both common and preferred stock, to support its growth initiatives. The company remains focused on maintaining its REIT status and distributing at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders, which is essential for its tax-exempt status.
