Annaly’s Agency Portfolio: $87.3 billion(1) in assets at the end of Q3 2025, an increase of 10% compared to Q2 2025  Annaly allocated accretive new capital into specified pools with call protection predominantly in 5.5% and 6.0% coupon securities − The weighted average coupon of the portfolio increased modestly to 5.03%  Hedge ratio unchanged at 92% though the hedge portfolio increased in line with asset growth during the quarter, helping to maintain duration  risk within a narrow range amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty − New hedges were primarily allocated to swaps, which offer a favorable carry profile and help enhance the portfolio’s overall return  In the third quarter, Annaly’s MBS portfolio prepaid 8.6 CPR, in line with Q2 2025. The rise in prepayments from the recent decline in rates will  be reflected in Q4 2025; however, we expect only a modest increase given the high concentration of specified pools in the portfolio  Asset Type(1) Pass Through Coupon Type(2) Portfolio Quality(3) 30yr 92% ARM <1% ACMBS 7% IO/IIO/CMO <1% <=2.5% 2% 3.0% 3% 3.5% 7% 4.0% 8% 4.5% 14% 5.0% 14% 5.5% 25% 6.0% 20% >=6.5% 7% 39% 20% 40% 92% 30% 40% 33% 3% 15% 20% 18% 5% 3% 13% 20% 9%  All  5.5%  6.0% >=6.5% High Quality Medium Quality Other Call Protected WALA Generic/Other
