Third Quarter 2008 Financial Results
New York, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Newcastle Investment Corp. (NYSE: NCT) reported that for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO")(1) loss was $154.7 million or $2.93 per diluted share and GAAP loss was $149.5 million or $2.83 per diluted share. This compares to an AFFO and GAAP loss of $0.74 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
The GAAP loss of $149.5 million consists of Operating Income (net of preferred dividends) of $25.9 million less realized and other losses of $14.5 million and impairments of $160.9 million. Operating Income (net of preferred dividends) return on average invested equity was 16.1%.
(1) AFFO is equivalent to our previously stated FFO.
Book Value
Our GAAP book value decreased to $(9.33) per share, or $(492.6) million at September 30, 2008, down from $(1.08) per share, or $(56.8) million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in book value was primarily attributable to a market value decline in our portfolio.
Our securities portfolio is predominantly financed to maturity with long- term collateralized debt obligations ("CBOs") that are not callable as a result of changes in value and are non-recourse to the Company. While the assets in the CBOs are consolidated on our books for GAAP purposes, our exposure to losses is limited to our investment in each CBO. Our September 30, 2008 GAAP book value reflects approximately $789.4 million of unrealized losses in assets in our CBOs that could not be realized by the Company.
At September 30, 2008, our adjusted book value per share was $21.91. Our GAAP book value would equal our adjusted book value if we elected to mark all of our financial assets and liabilities to fair value under SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities."
The following table compares Newcastle's book value per share as of September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008:

Investment Portfolio
Newcastle's current $6.6 billion investment portfolio consists of commercial, residential and corporate debt. During the quarter, the portfolio decreased by $71.6 million primarily as a result of paydowns of $112.1 million, sales of $34.1 million and realized writedowns of $56.1 million, offset by purchases of $127.2 million.

Adjusted Funds from operations ("AFFO") $(154,698) $(38,987)
We believe AFFO is one appropriate measure of the operating performance of real estate companies because it provides investors with information regarding our ability to service debt and make capital expenditures. We also believe that AFFO is an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for a REIT. Furthermore, AFFO is used to compute our incentive compensation to our manager. AFFO, for our purposes, represents net income available for common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, plus real estate depreciation, and after adjustments for unconsolidated subsidiaries, if any. We consider gains and losses on resolution of our investments to be a normal part of our recurring operations and therefore do not exclude such gains and losses when arriving at AFFO. Adjustments for unconsolidated subsidiaries, if any, are calculated to reflect AFFO on the same basis. AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Our calculation of AFFO may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
As a result of the sale or expected sale of all of our operating real estate, and the resultant discontinuation of depreciation, our income (loss) applicable to common stockholders is now equal to our AFFO.
