________________

(1)		On November 1, 2022, the company completed its previously announced one-for-four reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, all common share and per common share amounts presented herein have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the reverse stock split.
(2)		Economic return on book value is defined as the increase (decrease) in book value per common share from the beginning to the end of the given period, plus dividends declared in the period, divided by book value as of the beginning of the period.
(3)		Earnings Available for Distribution is a non-GAAP measure. Please see page 11 for a definition of Earnings Available for Distribution and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
(4)		Income Excluding Market-Driven Value Changes is a non-GAAP measure. Please see page 12 for a definition of Income Excluding Market-Driven Value Changes and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
(5)		Includes 428,549 Series A, 786,846 Series B and 1,742,555 Series C preferred shares.

“Despite spread volatility in the fourth quarter, we generated a positive return on book value, with our portfolio benefitting from being positioned in low coupon MSR and higher coupon RMBS,” stated Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Across all asset types, this past year was one of the most challenging investment environments in decades. However, it provided an opportunity to demonstrate the value in Two Harbors' model: that Agency RMBS paired with MSR, and active portfolio management, can dampen volatility. We continue to be very constructive on forward-looking return potential in 2023.”

“In the fourth quarter, inflation moderated and rate expectations leveled off, but volatility remained stubbornly high,” stated Nick Letica, Two Harbors’ Chief Investment Officer. “We allowed our leverage to drift higher and captured positive performance from tightening spreads in November, before taking leverage back down again in December. We deliberately and actively managed our portfolio to have more high coupon mortgage exposure, which benefitted book value. We expect that volatility will moderate in 2023, which could result in tighter spreads and be a positive tailwind for mortgage securities.”

________________

(1)		Other Agency includes hybrid ARMs and inverse interest-only Agency securities classified as “Agency Derivatives” for purposes of GAAP.
(2)		Based on the loans underlying the MSR reported by subservicers on a month lag, adjusted for current month purchases.
(3)		Represents bond equivalent value of TBA position. Bond equivalent value is defined as notional amount multiplied by market price. Accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP.
(4)		Average portfolio yield includes interest income on Agency RMBS and non-Agency securities, MSR servicing income, net of estimated amortization, and servicing expenses, and the implied asset yield portion of TBA dollar roll income on TBAs. MSR estimated amortization refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio, which is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements.
(5)		Average cost of financing includes interest expense and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs on borrowings under repurchase agreements (excluding those collateralized by U.S. Treasuries), revolving credit facilities, term notes payable and convertible senior notes, interest spread income/expense and amortization of upfront payments made or received upon entering into interest rate swap agreements, U.S. Treasury futures income, and the implied financing benefit/cost portion of dollar roll income on TBAs. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements.

_____________

(1)		MSR amortization refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio, which is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value.
(2)		TBA dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements.
(3)		U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements.
(4)		EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate portfolio, gains and losses on repurchases of preferred stock, provision for (reversal of) credit losses, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock and other nonrecurring expenses. As defined, EAD includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, U.S. Treasury futures income, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR and recurring cash related operating expenses. EAD provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers. EAD is one of several measures our board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on our common stock and should not be considered an indication of our taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends we may declare.

RMBS includes inverse interest-only Agency RMBS which are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP.
