The net interest income (NII) was $362.5 million, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $410.2 million. The figure declined 19% year over year.
With continued low financing costs, Annaly witnessed a rise in net interest spread. However, the company registered a year-over-year decline in book value per share (BVPS) and the average yield on interest-earning assets.
In the third quarter of 2021, the company closed the previously announced sale of substantially all of the assets that comprise the commercial real estate business for $2.33 billion. The remaining assets are expected to be legally transferred by the end of fourth-quarter 2021.
