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.

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.

Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation. Fixed income markets continue to benefit from a resilient economy, lower rate volatility and an improved supply/demand outlook 6  Despite the government shutdown, which created a temporary economic data vacuum, the U.S. economy appears resilient  The labor market has weakened, exhibiting low hiring and low firing, while inflation moderated and productivity improved  Following three 25 basis point rate cuts in the second half of 2025, the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") is expected to slow its pace of easing as policy rates are close to estimates of levels that are no longer restrictive  In a meaningful shift for funding markets, the Fed ended balance sheet runoff in December and began purchasing Treasury bills to maintain ample bank reserve levels  Interest rates have generally been rangebound, contributing to declines in implied and realized volatility  Fixed income market technicals are the most positive they have been in several years, supported by Fed purchases of Treasuries and GSE purchases of MBS, which reduce net supply to private investors - Meanwhile, strong fixed income fund flows and mortgage REIT equity raises have further supported MBS demand Interest rate volatility continued its decline Fixed income supply picture continues to improve Employers are limiting hiring and firing Markets expect roughly two 25 bps cuts in '26 3.6 1.3 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 Recession Hiring (lhs) Layoffs (rhs) Hiring Rate, % (lhs) vs. Layoff Rate, % (rhs)(1) Pandemic extremes cut off 77 64 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 Decrease Increase MOVE Index Quarterly Change, Index(5) 12/31/21 12/31/25 2022 2023 2024 2025 0 200 400 600 800 1,000 0 600 1,200 1,800 2,400 3,000 2023 2024 2025 2026F U.S. Treasuries (lhs) MBS (rhs) Fixed Income Net Supply to Private Investors, $bn(6) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Fed Funds Target Rate, %(2) Market Expectations(3) Fed Officials' Range of Neutral Rate Estimates(4)

Financial data as of December 31, 2025. Market data as of January 23, 2026, unless otherwise noted. Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation.  Agency MBS spreads tightened in Q4 driven by (i) declining interest rate volatility, (ii) improved financing conditions as the Fed ended balance sheet runoff and (iii) increased demand from a broad set of investors  The announcement that the GSEs are going to purchase $200 billion in MBS has further improved technicals in the sector – The market expects this to be one of several actions the Administration could take to address affordability  Prepayment risk has risen as mortgage rates have declined in addition to increased policy risk through potential government action  HPA gained momentum, up 22 basis points month-over-month in December on a national level; year-to-date HPA up 10 basis points(2)  Residential credit spreads were unchanged on the quarter with Non-QM experiencing modest tightening and securitization issuance remaining robust  Non-Agency issuance volumes increased 35%+ year-over-year(3); the strongest growth continued to be seen in Non-QM with issuance 80%+ higher than 2024 levels  2026 Non-Agency issuance expected to be a post- crisis period record at nearly $240 billion(3)  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 increased slightly, driven by a steeper yield curve, modest spread tightening and lower volatility  Bulk supply remained healthy in the fourth quarter and is expected to continue in 2026 13%–15% 12%–15% 11%–13%  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  Continue to build out flow purchase capabilities and are now active across all available GSE exchanges  Recapture and subservicing relationships with industry leaders  Correspondent channel saw record whole loan production throughout 2025 and OBX remains one of the largest and most liquid sponsors of residential credit securitizations, representing nearly 20% of Non-QM issuance in 2025(3)  Continued focus on disciplined credit framework – Locked pipeline represented a 762 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 current coupon as we believe they provide the best relative value  Agency CMBS portfolio increased in-line with overall portfolio growth and provides attractive levered returns and superior 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

Business Update

 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 MBS portfolio grew 6% quarter-over-quarter as accretive capital raised was predominantly deployed into the sector, which has benefitted from meaningful spread tightening and an improved technical backdrop 10 Source: Company filings. Financial data as of December 31, 2025. Note: Portfolio data as of quarter end for each respective period. Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation. Agency Portfolio Detail Assets Hedges(1) Funding(2) Strategic Approach  Agency MBS further strengthened in Q4, and market technicals are the most supportive they have been in years - Interest rate volatility (both realized and implied) continues to decline while the interest rate curve steepened - The Fed initiated reserve management purchases, improving financing conditions and contributing to swap spread widening - Fixed income demand was robust with strong money manager inflows and increased CMO issuance - GSE Agency MBS purchase announcement is a tailwind for the market  Prepayment risk is back in focus as mortgage rates briefly dipped below 6%.

Agency \| Portfolio Summary 11 Total Dedicated Capital: $9.9 billion(1) Note: Financial data as of December 31, 2025. Percentages based on fair market value and may not sum to 100% due to rounding. Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation.  Annaly's Agency Portfolio: $92.9 billion(1) in assets at the end of Q4 2025, an increase of 6% compared to Q3 2025  Annaly allocated accretive new capital predominantly into 5.0% coupon TBA and generic pool collateral securities, higher coupon specified pools (5.5% and 6.0% coupons) and Agency CMBS - The weighted average coupon of the portfolio increased modestly to 5.12%  The hedge portfolio was little changed in aggregate notional balances, while new assets were hedged using a combination of Treasury futures and interest rate swaps, which continue to offer a favorable carry profile - The relatively low market volatility allowed us to maintain a conservative interest rate exposure without meaningful intervention. We also selectively added swaption positions to optimize portfolio convexity risk  As anticipated, Annaly's MBS portfolio prepaid modestly faster in the fourth quarter at 9.7 CPR, up from 8.6 CPR in Q3 2025, as the lower rate environment outweighed seasonal factors. Notably, the increase was roughly half the pace of the broader market given Annaly's high concentration of specified pools with call protection Asset Type(1) Pass Through Coupon Type(2) Portfolio Quality(3) 34% 19% 35% 94% 30% 41% 36% 1% 16% 20% 21% 3% 5% 15% 20% 8% 1% All 5.5 6.0 6.5+ High Quality Medium Quality Other Call Protected WALA Generic/Other <=2.5% 2% 3.0% 2% 3.5% 5% 4.0% 6% 4.5% 12% 5.0% 21% 5.5% 25% 6.0% 20% >=6.5% 7% 30yr 92% ARM <1% ACMBS 7% IO/IIO <1%
