Summary of Third Quarter 2025 Results

The Company's increase in book value of $0.72 per common share for the third quarter of 2025 was largely driven by asset appreciation resulting from the decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate and the tightening of mortgage spreads to U.S. Treasuries. Asset appreciation also partially drove the decline in the Company's leverage during the third quarter. The Company's net interest income and net interest spread continued to improve as a result of higher yielding investments added to the portfolio while financing costs as a percentage of average borrowings have remained steady. Management anticipates continued improvement in the Company's financing rate during the fourth quarter of 2025 due to the Federal Open Market Committee's lowering of the targeted Federal Funds rate by 25 basis points in September of 2025. The Company continues to raise capital through its ATM program.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company's financial position during the third quarter of 2025:

(1)Average balance for assets is calculated as a simple average of the daily amortized cost and excludes securities pending settlement if applicable.

(2)Average balance for liabilities is calculated as a simple average of the daily borrowings outstanding during the period.

(3)Effective yield is calculated by dividing annualized interest income by the average balance of asset type outstanding during the reporting period. Unscheduled adjustments to premium/discount amortization/accretion, such as for prepayment compensation, are not annualized in this calculation.

(4)Financing cost is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense by the total average balance of borrowings outstanding during the period with an assumption of 360 days in a year.

(5)CMBS IO ("Interest only") includes Agency and non-Agency issued securities.

(6)Represents a non-GAAP measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Loss on derivatives, net	$	(10,694)	$	(58,093)

The Company typically designates certain of its interest rate derivatives as hedges for tax purposes. Gains

and losses realized upon maturity or termination of derivatives designated as hedges for tax purposes are amortized into the Company's REIT taxable income over the original periods hedged by those derivatives. These hedge gains are not included in the Company's current or future earnings available for distribution ("EAD"), a non-GAAP measure, but will be part of the Company's future distribution requirements. The table below provides the projected amortization of the Company's net deferred tax hedge gains that may be recognized as taxable income over the periods indicated, given conditions known as of September 30, 2025; however, uncertainty inherent in the forward interest rate curve makes future realized gains and losses difficult to estimate, and as such, these projections are subject to change for any given period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the Company’s financial and operating performance, management considers book value per common share, total economic return to common shareholders, and other operating results presented in accordance with GAAP as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include earnings available for distribution (“EAD”) to common shareholders (including per common share) and economic net interest income (and the related metric economic net interest spread). Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors because they are viewed by management as a measure of the investment portfolio’s return based on the effective yield of its investments, net of financing costs and, with respect to EAD, net of other normal recurring operating income/expenses.

Drop income/loss generated by TBA dollar roll positions, which is included in "gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net" on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income, is included in EAD because management views drop income/loss as the economic equivalent of net interest income on the underlying Agency security from trade date to settlement date. However, drop income/loss does not represent the total realized gain/loss from the Company’s TBA securities.

Management also includes net periodic interest from its interest rate swaps, which is included in "gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net", in each of these non-GAAP measures because interest rate swaps are used by the Company to economically hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its borrowing costs from repurchase agreements, and including net periodic interest from interest rate swaps is a helpful indicator of the Company’s total financing cost in addition to GAAP interest expense.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP earnings and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs because they may not be calculated in the same manner. Furthermore, though EAD is one of several factors our management considers in determining the appropriate level of distributions

to common shareholders, it should not be utilized in isolation, and it is not an accurate indication of the Company’s REIT taxable income or its distribution and dividend requirements in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.

Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to certain GAAP financial measures are provided below.
