Armour Residential REIT's 2025 annual report highlights a substantial financial recovery, shifting from net losses in prior years to a net income of $322.7 million and comprehensive income of $322.7 million. This positive performance was primarily driven by a significant increase in net interest income to $158.3 million and gains on trading securities. The company also reported a substantial increase in total stockholders' equity to $2.26 billion. Throughout 2025, the company actively raised capital through common and preferred stock ATM sales, generating over $878 million in net proceeds, and executed a public offering, which, while dilutive, provided significant liquidity. This follows the expansion of its ATM common stock offering by 15 million shares in late January 2026, as previously disclosed. A notable change for future profitability is the termination of the voluntary management fee waiver by ACM, effective February 1, 2026, which will result in an additional $6.6 million in annual expenses. The filing also includes new cybersecurity disclosures, reflecting compliance with evolving SEC requirements.
