("Crystal River" or the "Company") (NYSE:CRZ - News) today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Separately, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.10 per share. For additional information, please refer to Crystal River's letter to stockholders, which has been posted to the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.crystalriverreit.com. I. THIRD QUARTER UPDATE - Liquidity and leverage update: Crystal River continued its focus on reducing leverage by paying down its repurchase agreement debt to $8.3 million at September 30, 2008 from $22.1 million at June 30, 2008. The amount drawn under the Company's revolving credit facility was $41.4 million at September 30, 2008. - Operating results: The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 totaled $56.7 million, or $2.28 per share. Operating Earnings (defined below) for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 totaled $13.9 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to $20.9 million, or $0.83 per share, for the third quarter of 2007 and $16.6 million, or $0.67 per share, for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease over the second quarter of 2008 was primarily attributable to lower interest income resulting from the sale of Crystal River's Agency MBS portfolio and the sale and repayment of a portion of the Company's real estate loan portfolio, partially offset by lower interest expense. - Dividend: Cash flow from operations for the third quarter represented approximately three times coverage of the quarterly dividend of approximately $2.5 million, with the remainder being used to pay down liabilities. - Book value: Crystal River's GAAP book value per share decreased to $0.07 at September 30, 2008 from $2.46 at June 30, 2008. - Portfolio activity and subsequent events: As previously announced, Crystal River sold $27.1 million of whole loans that the Company had previously designated for sale. Furthermore, Crystal River's $9.6 million investment in a construction loan matured during the third quarter of 2008. The investment, which paid off at par, had a floating-rate coupon of LIBOR plus 3.1%. The proceeds from the sales and the loan repayment were used to repay debt. Discussion of Results Net Investment Income (defined below) for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 totaled $18.3 million, or $0.73 per share, compared to Net Investment Income of $23.5 million, or $0.94 per share, for the third quarter of 2007 and Net Investment Income of $21.6 million, or $0.87 per share, for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease over the second quarter of 2008 was primarily attributable to lower interest income resulting from the sale of Crystal River's Agency MBS portfolio and the sale and repayment of a portion of the Company's real estate loan portfolio, partially offset by lower interest expense. The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 totaled $56.7 million, or $2.28 per share, compared to a net loss of $93.9 million, or $3.76 per share, for the third quarter of 2007 and a net loss of $75.5 million, or $3.04 per share, for the second quarter of 2008. The primary contributors to the third quarter 2008 net loss were impairment charges and mark-to-market adjustments totaling $59.2 million. Finally, the Company also recorded a $4.4 million loan loss allowance on its real estate loan holdings during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The following table details the Company's impairment charges and mark-to-market adjustments on its available for sale securities by type and by sector and its CDO liabilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2008:

------------------------------------------------------------------GAAP Book Value GAAP common equity book value per share was $0.07 at September 30, 2008. Following Crystal River's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 159 on January 1, 2008, the Company carries both the assets and liabilities of its two securitized CDO entities at their fair values. As a result, unrealized gains and losses on the available for sale securities held within the Company's CDOs, the corresponding CDO liabilities, and swaps previously designated as a hedge are recorded directly into earnings in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Dividend Information Crystal River announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $0.10 per share of common stock. The cash distribution will be paid on January 30, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2008. In setting the dividend, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, operating results, taxable income and REIT qualification requirements, available tax losses, economic conditions, capital requirements, liquidity, retention of capital and other operating trends. Given the variability of these considerations, the Board of Directors will continually reevaluate these factors when determining future dividends. About Crystal River Crystal River Capital, Inc. (NYSE:CRZ - News) is a specialty finance REIT.

Furthermore, Crystal River's $9.6 million investment in a construction loan matured during the third quarter of 2008.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------OTHER INFORMATION The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by 5:30 p.m. EST on Monday, November 10, 2008. Please read the Form 10-Q carefully as it will contain Crystal River's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Form 10-Q also will be made available under the Investor Relations section of Crystal River's website at www.crystalriverreit.com. Definition of Operating Earnings This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to Operating Earnings on a total and per share basis. The Company considers its Operating Earnings to be income after operating expenses but before loan loss provisions, realized and unrealized gains and losses, hedge ineffectiveness, foreign currency exchange impact, loss on impairment of assets, commercial real estate depreciation and amortization and net change in assets and liabilities valued under fair value option. The Company believes Operating Earnings provides useful information to investors because it views Operating Earnings as an effective indicator of the Company's profitability and financial performance over time. Operating Earnings can and will fluctuate based on changes in asset levels, funding rates, available reinvestment rates, expected losses on credit-sensitive positions and the return on the Company's investments as the underlying assets are carried at estimated fair value. The Company has provided the components of Operating Earnings and a full reconciliation from net loss to Operating Earnings with the financial statements accompanying this press release. Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP measure that does not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Definition of Net Investment Income This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to Net Investment Income on a total and per share basis. The Company considers its Net Investment Income to be total revenues including income from equity investments less interest expense. The Company believes Net Investment Income provides useful information to investors because it represents the largest component of the Company's Operating Earnings, which management believes is an effective indicator of the Company's profitability and financial performance over time. The Company provides the components of Net Investment Income with the financial statements accompanying this press release. Net Investment Income is a non-GAAP measure that does not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Definition of Estimated REIT Taxable Income Estimated REIT Taxable Income is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not purport to be an alternative to net loss determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Estimated REIT Taxable Income excludes the net loss of Crystal River's domestic taxable REIT subsidiary. This non-GAAP financial measure is important to Crystal River and its stockholders because, as a real estate investment trust, we are required to pay substantially all of our REIT taxable income in the form of distributions to our stockholders and Estimated REIT Taxable Income is an effective indicator of the total amount of REIT taxable income available for distributions. Because not all REITs use identical calculations, this presentation of Estimated REIT Taxable Income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures prepared and reported by other companies. The Company provides a full reconciliation from net loss to Estimated REIT Taxable Income with the financial statements accompanying this press release. Forward-Looking Information This news release, and our public documents to which we refer, contain or incorporate by reference certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements relating to our future financial results and future dividend payments.

Although we believe that the expectations contained in any forward-looking statement are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in yield curve, changes in prepayment rates, the effectiveness of our hedging strategies, the availability of mortgage-backed securities and other targeted investments for purchase and origination, the availability and cost of capital for financing future investments and, if available, the terms of any such financing, changes in the market value of our assets, future margin reductions and the availability of liquid assets to post additional collateral, changes in business conditions and the general economy, competition within the specialty finance sector, changes in government regulations affecting our business, our ability to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, and other risks disclosed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information on the risks facing the Company, see the risk factors in Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008, filed with the SEC on August 11, 2008 and the updated version of those risk factors that the Company will file as Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008 that we expect to file with the SEC by 5:30 p.m. EST on November 10, 2008. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly release any update or supplement to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
