Annual figures from SEC EDGAR XBRL filings (10-K)
These figures are extracted directly from XBRL-tagged financial statements that MFA FINANCIAL, INC. filed with the SEC as part of its annual 10-K reports. XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a structured data format the SEC requires for machine-readable financial disclosures.

Net Income
The bottom-line profit — what remains after all operating expenses, interest, taxes, and other costs are deducted. A negative value means the company reported a net loss for the year.
