Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc (IVR) declared financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, reporting core earnings* of $0.41 per common share and book value per diluted common share** of $18.62.

On August 10, 2015, the Company declared the restatement of its financial statements for the years ended 2013 and 2014 and the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The restatement corrects an error in the U.S. GAAP accounting treatment for credit risk transfer securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises (“GSE CRTs”) and interest-only strips of residential mortgage-backed securities that are guaranteed by a U.S. government agency (“Agency MBS IOs”). We determined that these assets comprise embedded derivatives which should be accounted for under the accounting guidance for derivatives with changes in fair value reflected in the income statement instead of other comprehensive income. Formerly stated key metrics such as economic return, book value per share, core earnings per common share and leverage ratios did not change. The changes also have no impact on our taxable income or compliance with REIT tax requirements.
