("Annaly"), an internally-managed, publicly traded company that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, and is being furnished in connection with Annaly's Third Quarter 2025 earnings release. This presentation is provided for investors in Annaly for informational purposes only and is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or instrument. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation, other written or oral communications, and our public documents to which we refer contain or incorporate by reference certain forward-looking statements which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond our control) and may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "continue," "illustrative" or similar terms or variations on those terms or the negative of those terms. Such statements include those relating to the Company's future performance, macro outlook, the interest rate and credit environments, tax reform and future opportunities. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates; changes in the yield curve; changes in prepayment rates; the availability of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other securities for purchase; the availability of financing and, if available, the terms of any financing; changes in the market value of the Company's assets; changes in business conditions and the general economy; the Company's ability to grow its residential credit business; the Company's ability to grow its mortgage servicing rights business; credit risks related to the Company's investments in credit risk transfer securities and residential mortgage-backed securities and related residential mortgage credit assets; risks related to investments in mortgage servicing rights; the Company's ability to consummate any contemplated investment opportunities; changes in government regulations or policy affecting the Company's business; the Company's ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; the Company's ability to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940; and operational risks or risk management failures by us or critical third parties, including cybersecurity incidents. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements, except as required by law. We use our website (www.annaly.com) and LinkedIn account (www.linkedin.com/company/annaly-capital-management) as channels of distribution of company information. The information we post through these channels may be deemed material. Accordingly, investors should monitor these channels, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts.

There is no guarantee that any investment strategy referenced herein will work under all market conditions. There is no guarantee that illustrative returns will occur. Prior to making any investment decision, you should evaluate your ability to invest for the long-term, especially during periods of downturns in the market. You alone assume the responsibility of evaluating the merits and risks associated with any potential investment or investment strategy referenced herein. To the extent that this material contains reference to any past specific investment recommendations or strategies which were or would have been profitable to any person, it should not be assumed that recommendations made in the future will be profitable or will equal the performance of such past investment recommendations or strategies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings available for distribution. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures are useful for management, investors, analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating our performance but should not be viewed in isolation and are not a substitute for financial measures computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition, we may calculate our non-GAAP metrics, such as earnings available for distribution, or the premium amortization adjustment, differently than our peers making comparative analysis difficult.

Q3 2025 Market and Economic Developments The Macro Landscape Note: For source information, please refer to the endnotes included at the end of this presentation. Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation. Growth remains firm even as the labor market decelerates, lowering interest rate volatility and renewing strong fixed income demand 6  U.S. economic resilience was supported by healthy consumer spending and an uptick in A.I.- related investment  The labor market has softened, with slower job growth than earlier estimates. However, muted layoffs and reduced immigration are also limiting the supply of workers, keeping the unemployment rate near levels consistent with full employment  Inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's (the "Fed") 2% target, but the tariff impact has been less than expected  Markets now anticipate the Fed will lower rates toward 3% by the end of next year while tariff revenues have improved the fiscal outlook  Implied interest rate volatility has fallen to its lowest levels since 2022, supported by a patient Fed and minimal realized daily rate moves  Mortgage delinquencies are consistent with 2015-2019 levels, even as other consumer credit sector delinquency rates have plateaued at higher levels in recent quarters Interest rate volatility reached cycle lows Mortgage delinquencies remain stable Economic growth expected to remain solid Labor market shows continued softening 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2010 2015 2020 2025 Job Openings to Unemployed Ratio(3) 2019 Average Level(4) -1.0% 1.0% 3.0% 5.0% 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2023 2024 2025 Quarter GDP Growth, SAAR, %(1) Latest GDP Nowcast Estimates(2) 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5 8.5 9.5 2022 2023 2024 2025 Realized Implied 3m 10y Interest Rate Volatility, bps per day(5) 0 5 10 15 2010 2015 2020 2025 Mortgages/ HELOCs Credit Cards Autos Newly Delinquent Consumer Loans, Share of Out- standing, %(6)

MSRResidential CreditAgency Key Market Dynamics & Commentary Current Illustrative Market Levered Returns(1) Illustrative Return Opportunities & Market Dynamics Across Annaly's Investment Strategies Source: Company filings. Financial data as of September 30, 2025. Market data as of October 17, 2025, unless otherwise noted. Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation.  Agency MBS nominal spreads to the Treasury curve reached the tightest levels in over three years but remain relatively attractive to the swap curve – A steady decline in rate volatility, increased fixed income fund inflows and strong CMO demand were all catalysts for the tightening – Demand from banks and overseas investors remains muted  Prepayment risk rose, particularly for recently originated generic collateral, as mortgage rates declined to the lowest levels in a year  Funding conditions are stable, and availability is ample even as SOFR remains modestly elevated  HPA turned negative year-to-date and was flat year- over-year on a national level(2) as low affordability and expanding inventory weigh on home prices  Residential credit spreads tightened modestly across all sectors, providing a supportive backdrop for securitization issuance that approached record highs  Nearly 30% increase in Non-Agency issuance volumes year-over-year(3) – Strongest growth continues to be seen in Non-QM with issuance 75% higher than the prior year  Strong fundamental asset performance has continued to support MSR returns, including: – Low prepayments – Muted delinquencies – Predictable and declining servicing costs – Stable float income  MSR valuations decreased modestly, driven by lower mortgage rates that were partially offset by a steeper yield curve and reduced implied volatility  Bulk supply increased by +50% quarter-over- quarter providing significant opportunity 15%–17% 13%–16% 11%–14%  Top 10 Agency MBS servicer with the lowest note rate among top 20 servicers(4)  MSR portfolio continued to exhibit exceptional credit characteristics – 757 weighted average FICO and 71% LTV ratio at origination  New strategic partnership with Pennymac enhances best-in-class network of servicing and recapture relationships  Continue to expand partnerships and remain well- positioned for opportunistic purchases  Correspondent channel has seen record whole loan production and Onslow Bay is one of the largest and most liquid sponsors of residential credit securitizations, representing ~20% of Non- QM issuance year-to-date(3)  Continued focus on disciplined credit framework – Locked pipeline represented a 765 weighted average FICO and 68% CLTV at origination  Whole loans and retained OBX securities continue to be preferred avenue for growth relative to third-party securities  Focus on active management of the portfolio with a bias towards up-in-coupon specified pools with call protection, which we currently believe provide the best relative value  Continued to grow the Agency CMBS portfolio, which provides attractive levered returns and an improved convexity profile  Focused on maintaining prudent leverage with substantial liquidity and a conservative hedge portfolio  Best-in-class portfolio analytics and modeling 7 Annaly's Positioning

 Annaly's Agency portfolio is made up of high-quality and liquid securities, predominantly specified pools, TBAs and derivatives  Portfolio benefits from in-house proprietary analytics that identify emerging prepayment trends and a focus on durable cash flows  Diverse set of investment options within the Agency market, including Agency CMBS, which provides complementary duration and return profiles to Agency MBS  Comprehensive hedging capabilities through an array of products (swaps, swaptions, Treasuries) enhance portfolio performance  Access to deep and varied financing sources, including traditional bilateral repo, sponsored repo and proprietary broker-dealer repo Agency \| Business Update Annaly's Agency portfolio increased by nearly $8 billion in market value as accretive capital raised during the quarter was deployed predominantly into Agency MBS/CMBS given attractive returns 9 Source: Company filings.

Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation. Agency Portfolio Detail Assets Hedges(2) Funding(3) Strategic Approach  Agency MBS outperformed the benchmark fixed income index during the quarter as fundamental and technical factors improved: - Realized and implied rate volatility declined to the lowest level in three years, reducing hedging costs - Average weekly fixed income fund flows were ~$14 billion during the quarter, more than 50% higher year-over-year(1) - CMO creation has absorbed roughly one-third of gross supply and diversified the investor base for Agency MBS  Prepayment risk increased given lower mortgage rates, but was concentrated in recent production and remains muted for the broader MBS index Market Trends 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 2022 2023 2024 2025 Within 30 30–120 days Over 120 Agency Funding Composition, % 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 2022 2023 2024 2025 Swaps Swaptions Treasuries Agency Hedging Composition, % 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 2022 2023 2024 2025 Pools TBA NLY Specified Pools and TBA Holdings, %

Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation.  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
