Shares of Thornburg Mortgage, Inc. (NYSE:TMA) are soaring 37% in pre-market trading after the residential mortgage lending company this morning reported substantially better-than-anticipated second-quarter earnings that bested the consensus on Wall Street.

Results were owed to declines in the fair value of the company’s Principal Participation Agreement, Additional Warrant Liability of $536.9 million, Senior Subordinated Notes of $24.9 million, and a gain on the extinguishment of our remaining asset-backed commercial paper debt of $23 million.

The company also said that the credit performance of its ARM loans remained “excellent” during the quarter and that it would issue preferred stock.
