Non-GAAP Reconciliations 22 To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered a  substitute for, or superior to, financial measures computed in accordance with GAAP. While intended to offer a fuller understanding of the Company’s results and operations, non-GAAP financial measures also have  limitations. For example, the Company may calculate its non-GAAP metrics, such as Earnings Available for Distribution ("EAD"), or the premium amortization adjustment ("PAA"), differently than its peers making  comparative analysis difficult. Additionally, in the case of non-GAAP measures that exclude the PAA, the amount of amortization expense excluding the PAA is not necessarily representative of the amount of future  periodic amortization nor is it indicative of the term over which the Company will amortize the remaining unamortized premium. Changes to actual and estimated prepayments will impact the timing and amount of  premium amortization and, as such, both GAAP and non-GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures provide additional detail to enhance investor understanding of the Company’s period-over-period operating  performance and business trends, as well as for assessing the Company’s performance versus that of industry peers. Additional information pertaining to these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to  their most directly comparable GAAP results are provided on the following pages. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP Earnings available for distribution for the quarters ended September 30, 2025,  June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, is provided on page 9 of this financial supplement.  Earnings available for distribution, earnings available for distribution attributable to common stockholders, earnings available for distribution per average common share and annualized EAD return on average equity The Company's principal business objective is to generate net income for distribution to its stockholders and to preserve capital through prudent selection of investments and continuous management of its portfolio.  The Company generates net income by earning a net interest spread on its investment portfolio, which is a function of interest income from its investment portfolio less financing, hedging and operating costs.  Earnings available for distribution, which is defined as the sum of (a) economic net interest income, (b) TBA dollar roll income, (c) net servicing income less realized amortization of MSR, (d) other income (loss)  (excluding amortization of intangibles, non-EAD income allocated to equity method investments and other non-EAD components of other income (loss)), (e) general and administrative expenses (excluding transaction  expenses and non-recurring items), and (f) income taxes (excluding the income tax effect of non-EAD income (loss) items) and excludes (g) the premium amortization adjustment ("PAA") representing the cumulative  impact on prior periods, but not the current period, of quarter-over-quarter changes in estimated long-term prepayment speeds related to the Company’s Agency mortgage-backed securities is used by the Company's  management and, the Company believes, used by analysts and investors to measure its progress in achieving its principal business objective. The Company seeks to fulfill this objective through a variety of factors including portfolio construction, the degree of market risk exposure and related hedge profile, and the use and forms of leverage, all while  operating within the parameters of the Company's capital allocation policy and risk governance framework. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with additional details regarding the Company’s underlying operating results and investment portfolio trends by (i) making  adjustments to account for the disparate reporting of changes in fair value where certain instruments are reflected in GAAP net income (loss) while others are reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) and (ii) by  excluding certain unrealized, non-cash or episodic components of GAAP net income (loss) in order to provide additional transparency into the operating performance of the Company’s portfolio. In addition, EAD serves  as a useful indicator for investors in evaluating the Company's performance and ability to pay dividends. Annualized EAD return on average equity, which is calculated by dividing earnings available for distribution over  average stockholders’ equity, provides investors with additional detail on the earnings available for distribution generated by the Company’s invested equity capital. Premium Amortization Expense In accordance with GAAP, the Company amortizes or accretes premiums or discounts into interest income for its Agency mortgage-backed securities, excluding interest-only securities, multifamily and reverse  mortgages, taking into account estimates of future principal prepayments in the calculation of the effective yield. The Company recalculates the effective yield as differences between anticipated and actual  prepayments occur. Using third-party model and market information to project future cash flows and expected remaining lives of securities, the effective interest rate determined for each security is applied as if it had  been in place from the date of the security’s acquisition. The amortized cost of the security is then adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition date.  The adjustment to amortized cost is offset with a charge or credit to interest income. Changes in interest rates and other market factors will impact prepayment speed projections and the amount of premium  amortization recognized in any given period. The Company’s GAAP metrics include the unadjusted impact of amortization and accretion associated with this method. Certain of the Company’s non-GAAP metrics exclude the effect of the PAA, which quantifies the  component of premium amortization representing the cumulative impact on prior periods, but not the current period, of quarter-over-quarter changes in estimated long-term CPR. 
 
 
 
Non-GAAP Reconciliations (cont'd) 23 Economic leverage and economic capital ratios The Company uses capital coupled with borrowed funds to invest primarily in real estate related investments, earning the spread between the yield on its assets and the cost of its borrowings and hedging activities.  The Company’s capital structure is designed to offer an efficient complement of funding sources to generate positive risk-adjusted returns for its stockholders while maintaining appropriate liquidity to support its  business and meet the Company’s financial obligations under periods of market stress. To maintain its desired capital profile, the Company utilizes a mix of debt and equity funding. Debt funding may include the use of  repurchase agreements, loans, securitizations, participations issued, lines of credit, asset backed lending facilities, corporate bond issuance, convertible bonds or other liabilities. Equity capital primarily consists of  common and preferred stock. The Company’s economic leverage ratio is computed as the sum of recourse debt, cost basis of TBA derivatives outstanding, and net forward purchases (sales) of investments divided by total equity. Recourse debt  consists of repurchase agreements, other secured financing, and U.S. Treasury securities sold, not yet purchased. Debt issued by securitization vehicles and participations issued are non-recourse to the Company and  are excluded from economic leverage. Interest income (excluding PAA), economic interest expense and economic net interest income (excluding PAA) Interest income (excluding PAA) represents interest income excluding the effect of the PAA, and serves as the basis for deriving average yield on interest earning assets (excluding PAA), net interest spread (excluding  PAA) and net interest margin (excluding PAA), which are discussed below. The Company believes this measure provides management and investors with additional detail to enhance their understanding of the  Company’s operating results and trends by excluding the component of premium amortization expense representing the cumulative impact on prior periods, but not the current period, of quarter-over-quarter changes  in estimated long-term prepayment speeds related to the Company’s Agency mortgage-backed securities (other than interest-only securities, multifamily and reverse mortgages), which can obscure underlying trends  in the performance of the portfolio.  Economic interest expense includes GAAP interest expense, the net interest component of interest rate swaps (which includes net interest on variation margin related to interest rate swaps) and net interest on initial  margin related to interest rate swaps. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changing interest rates on its repurchase agreements by economically hedging cash flows associated with  these borrowings. Accordingly, adding the net interest component of interest rate swaps to interest expense, as computed in accordance with GAAP, reflects the total contractual interest expense and thus, provides  investors with additional information about the cost of the Company's financing strategy. The Company may use market agreed coupon (“MAC”) interest rate swaps in which the Company may receive or make a  payment at the time of entering into such interest rate swap to compensate for the off-market nature of such interest rate swap. In accordance with GAAP, upfront payments associated with MAC interest rate swaps  are not reflected in the net interest component of interest rate swaps in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).  Average yield on interest earning assets (excluding PAA), net interest spread (excluding PAA), net interest margin (excluding PAA) and average economic cost of interest bearing liabilities Net interest spread (excluding PAA), which is the difference between the average yield on interest earning assets (excluding PAA) and the average economic cost of interest bearing liabilities, which represents  annualized economic interest expense divided by average interest bearing liabilities, and net interest margin (excluding PAA), which is calculated as the sum of interest income (excluding PAA) plus TBA dollar roll  income less interest expense and the net interest component of interest rate swaps divided by the sum of average interest earning assets plus average TBA contract balances, provide management with additional  measures of the Company’s profitability that management relies upon in monitoring the performance of the business.

(3) GAAP leverage is computed as the sum of repurchase agreements, other secured financing,  debt issued by securitization vehicles, participations issued and U.S. Treasury securities sold,  not yet purchased divided by total equity. Economic leverage is computed as the sum of  recourse debt, cost basis of to-be-announced ("TBA") derivatives outstanding, and net forward  purchases (sales) of investments divided by total equity. Recourse debt consists of  repurchase agreements, other secured financing, and U.S. Treasury securities sold, not yet  purchased. Debt issued by securitization vehicles and participations issued  are non-recourse  to the Company and are excluded from economic leverage. (4) GAAP capital ratio is computed as total equity divided by total assets. Economic capital ratio  is computed as total equity divided by total economic assets. Total economic assets include  the implied market value of TBA derivatives and are net of debt issued by securitization  vehicles and participations issued. (5) Net interest margin represents interest income less interest expense divided by average  interest earning assets.  Net interest margin (excluding PAA) represents the sum of the  Company's interest income (excluding PAA) plus TBA dollar roll income less interest expense  and the net interest component of interest rate swaps divided by the sum of average interest  earning assets plus average TBA contract balances. (6) Average yield on interest earning assets represents annualized interest income divided by  average interest earning assets. Average interest earning assets reflects the average  amortized cost of our investments during the period. Average yield on interest earning assets  (excluding PAA) is calculated using annualized interest income (excluding PAA).  (7) Average GAAP cost of interest bearing liabilities represents annualized interest expense  divided by average interest bearing liabilities. Average interest bearing liabilities reflects the  average balances during the period.  Average economic cost of interest bearing liabilities  represents annualized economic interest expense divided by average interest bearing  liabilities.  Page 5 (1) Consists of common stock, additional paid-in capital, accumulated other comprehensive  income (loss) and accumulated deficit. (2) Utilizes an actual/360 factor. (3) The average and period-end rates are net of reverse repurchase agreements. Without netting  reverse repurchase agreements, the average rate and the period-end rate was unchanged for  each period.
