About MFA Financial
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
MFA Financial is based in New York, New York and is incorporated in Maryland. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker MFA. The SEC classifies its business as real estate investment trusts. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported net income of $176.8m. At that date it held total assets of $13.05bn and shareholders' equity of $1.83bn.
Our principal business objective is to deliver shareholder value through the generation of distributable income and through asset performance linked to residential mortgage credit fundamentals. We selectively invest in residential mortgage assets with a focus on credit analysis, projected prepayment rates, interest rate sensitivity and expected return. We are an internally-managed real estate investment trust (or REIT).
2025 delivered strong fixed income returns as markets benefited from a shift in monetary policy and continued macroeconomic resilience. Credit spreads tightened and the yield curve steepened over the year, with yields on two-year Treasuries declining by 78 basis points while ten-year Treasuries declined by 43 basis points. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Index returned 7.3% for the year, marking its strongest annual performance in five years. We capitalized on these constructive market conditions by accelerating the pace of capital deployment, benefiting from increased price stability and a favorable lending environment. While market conditions have improved and recession risks have moderated, we have maintained our emphasis on preserving sufficient liquidity, prudently managing our interest rate exposure, and using loan securitizations to minimize our exposure to margin risk.
