**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

**Note 1. Organization and Operations**

Two Harbors Investment Corp. is a Maryland corporation founded in 2009 that, through its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), invests in, finances and manages mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") and Agency residential mortgage-backed securities ("Agency RMBS"), and, through its operational platform, RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC ("RoundPoint"), is one of the largest servicers of conventional loans in the country. Agency refers to a U.S. government sponsored enterprise ("GSE"), such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), or a U.S. government agency such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"). The Company is structured as an internally-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"), and its common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "TWO."

The Company seeks to leverage its core competencies of understanding and managing interest rate and prepayment risk to invest in its portfolio of MSR and Agency RMBS, with the objective of delivering more stable performance, relative to RMBS portfolios without MSR, across changing market environments. The Company is acutely focused on creating sustainable stockholder value over the long term.

The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As long as the Company continues to comply with a number of requirements under federal tax law and maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that the Company distributes its taxable income to its stockholders on an annual basis and does not engage in prohibited transactions. However, certain activities that the Company may perform may cause it to earn income which will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. The Company has designated certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), as defined in the Code, to engage in such activities.

On March 27, 2026, the Company and CrossCountry Intermediate Holdco, LLC ("CCM") entered into a definitive agreement (the "Original CCM Merger Agreement") for CCM to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock in an all-cash transaction (the "CCM Merger"). On April 28, 2026, the Company and CCM entered into an amendment to the Original CCM Merger Agreement (the "Amendment" and, the Original CCM Merger Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, the "Amended CCM Merger Agreement"). The Amendment, among other things, provides that, at the effective time of the CCM Merger, each outstanding share of the Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $11.30 per share, an increase from the $10.80 per share consideration under the Original CCM Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of the Company's 8.125% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, 7.625% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 7.25% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Preferred Stock"), will remain issued and outstanding. Promptly after the effective time, the surviving company will deliver a notice of redemption to its preferred stockholders, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Amendment and Restatement, and the Articles Supplementary thereto, and its Amended and Restated Bylaws. Following the effective time, when required in connection with the redemption of the Preferred Stock, CCM, on behalf of the Company, will irrevocably set aside and deposit, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the benefit of the Company's preferred stockholders, cash in immediately available funds in the amount of $25.00 per outstanding share of Preferred Stock, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but not including, the redemption date (the "Preferred Stock Redemption Amount"). On the redemption date set forth in the notice of redemption, each share of Preferred Stock will be redeemed for an amount in cash equal to the Preferred Stock Redemption Amount. The CCM Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to approval of the Company's common stockholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, including customary regulatory approvals.

As previously disclosed, on December 17, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger with UWM Holdings Corporation ("UWM"), (the "UWM Merger Agreement"). Following the determination that the Company had received a "Company Superior Proposal," as defined in the UWM Merger Agreement, from CCM, and after considering UWM's proposed revisions to the UWM Merger Agreement in consultation with Two Harbors' financial advisors and outside legal counsel, on March 27, 2026, prior to entering into the Original CCM Merger Agreement, Two Harbors delivered to UWM a written notice terminating the UWM Merger Agreement. In connection with the termination of the UWM Merger Agreement, CCM, on behalf of Two Harbors, paid UWM a termination fee of $25.4 million in cash as required by the terms of the UWM Merger Agreement (the "UWM Termination Fee"). For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred the UWM Termination Fee of $25.4 million; however, this amount was economically and contractually offset through the corresponding payment made by CCM, and accordingly, the UWM Termination Fee did not result in a net impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

**Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies**

***Consolidation and Basis of Presentation***

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted according to such SEC rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures included in these interim consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of all subsidiaries; inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All trust entities in which the Company holds investments that are considered VIEs for financial reporting purposes were reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. Whenever the Company has both the power to direct the activities of a trust that most significantly impact the entities' performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entities that could be significant, the Company consolidates the trust. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at March 31, 2026 and results of operations for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, the amount and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of certain assets and liabilities sufficient to recover unrealized losses in those assets and liabilities, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (*e.g.*, valuation changes due to supply and demand in the market, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company's estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from its estimates and the differences may be material.

***Significant Accounting Policies***

Included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies.

***Recently Issued Accounting Standards***

*Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03, which requires public entities to disclose specific expense categories, including employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization expenses, in the notes to financial statements on both an annual and interim basis. The guidance also requires a qualitative description of amounts that are not disaggregated quantitatively. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

**Note 3. Variable Interest Entities**

The Company enters into transactions with subsidiary trust entities that are established for limited purposes. One of the Company's subsidiary trust entities, MSR Issuer Trust, is utilized for financing MSR through repurchase agreements, pursuant to which, through two of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, MSR is pledged to MSR Issuer Trust and in return, MSR Issuer Trust issued variable funding notes ("VFNs") to one of the subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding repurchase facilities with three financing counterparties that were secured by the VFNs issued by MSR Issuer Trust, which were collateralized by portions of the Company's MSR portfolio.

Another of the Company's subsidiary trust entities, Servicing Advance Receivables Issuer Trust, was formed for the purpose of financing servicing advances through a revolving credit facility, pursuant to which Servicing Advance Receivables Issuer Trust issued a VFN backed by servicing advances pledged to the financing counterparty.

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

Both MSR Issuer Trust and Servicing Advance Receivables Issuer Trust are considered VIEs for financial reporting purposes and were reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. As the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the trusts that most significantly impact the entities' performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entities that could be significant, the Company is the primary beneficiary and, thus, consolidates the trusts. Additionally, in accordance with arrangements entered into in connection with the formation of both MSR Issuer Trust and Servicing Advance Receivables Issuer Trust, the Company has direct financial obligations payable to both trusts, which, in turn, support the trusts' obligations to the financing counterparties.

The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of all consolidated trusts as reported on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

**Note 4. Available-for-Sale Securities, at Fair Value**

The Company holds both Agency and non-Agency available-for-sale ("AFS") investment securities which are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents the Company's AFS investment securities by collateral type as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

| Non-Agency | 3149 | 3259 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total available-for-sale securities | $6507381 | $6514471 |

---

At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company pledged AFS securities with a carrying value of $6.5 billion as collateral for repurchase agreements. See Note 12 - *Financing*.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any securities purchased from and financed with the same counterparty that did not meet the conditions of ASC 860, *Transfers and Servicing*, to be considered linked transactions and, therefore, classified as derivatives.

The Company is not required to consolidate VIEs for which it has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary (*i.e*., the Company does not have both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the entities' performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entities that could be significant). The Company's investments in non-Agency securities are issued by entities that are deemed to be VIEs for which the Company has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, has not consolidated. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these unconsolidated VIEs is limited to the fair value of the Company's investments in non-Agency securities issued by such VIEs. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of all non-Agency securities issued by unconsolidated VIEs was $3.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

***Measurement of Allowances for Credit Losses on AFS Securities***

The Company uses a discounted cash flow method to estimate and recognize an allowance for credit losses on both Agency and non-Agency AFS securities that are not accounted for under the fair value option. At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on AFS securities was $1.6 million.

The following tables present the components comprising the carrying value of AFS securities for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded by length of time that the securities had an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held 1,044 and 968 AFS securities, respectively; of the securities for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, 456 and 70 were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve consecutive months and 190 and 202 were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve consecutive months, respectively.

**Note 5. Servicing Activities**

***Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value***

One of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, TH MSR Holdings LLC, has approvals from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to own and manage MSR, which represent the right to control the servicing of residential mortgage loans. TH MSR Holdings acquires MSR from third-party originators through flow and bulk purchases, as well as through the recapture of MSR on loans in its MSR portfolio that refinance. TH MSR Holdings also acquires MSR on loans originated by its subsidiary, RoundPoint, through purchases and recapture of MSR. TH MSR Holdings does not directly service mortgage loans; instead, it engages its wholly owned subsidiary, RoundPoint, to handle substantially all servicing functions for the mortgage loans underlying the Company's MSR. RoundPoint also services mortgage loans underlying MSR owned by third parties. RoundPoint has approvals from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, to service residential mortgage loans.

The following table summarizes activity related to the Company's MSR portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

(2)For the three months ended March 31, 2026, other changes includes sales price adjustments associated with prior period MSR sales.

(3)Based on the prior month-end's principal balance of the loans underlying the Company's MSR, increased for current month purchases.

At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company pledged MSR with a carrying value of $2.4 billion as collateral for repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities. See Note 12 - *Financing*.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the key economic assumptions and sensitivity of the fair value of MSR to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in these assumptions were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(dollars in thousands, except per loan data)** | **March 31,<br>2026** | **December 31,<br>2025** |

**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

These assumptions and sensitivities are hypothetical and should be considered with caution. Changes in fair value based on 10% and 20% variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of MSR is calculated without changing any other assumptions. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (*e.g.*, increased market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses) that could magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Further, these sensitivities show only the change in the asset balances and do not show any expected change in the fair value of the instruments used to manage the interest rates and prepayment risks associated with these assets.

***Risk Mitigation Activities***

The primary risks associated with the Company's MSR are changes in interest rates, mortgage spreads and prepayments. The Company economically hedges interest rate and mortgage spread risk primarily with its Agency RMBS portfolio. Prepayment risk is carefully monitored and partially mitigated through the Company's ability to retain the MSR, in certain circumstances, through recapture if the underlying loan is refinanced.

***Mortgage Servicing Income and Costs***

The Company primarily generates recurring revenue through contractual servicing fees and interest/float income on custodial deposits associated with the Company's MSR portfolio. Additionally, the Company generates servicing revenue and other fee income including late payment, modification, and other ancillary fees associated with loans underlying MSR owned by third parties and subserviced by the Company. The following table presents the components of servicing income recorded on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |
| | **March 31,** | **March 31,** |

| Servicing fee income | $104962 | $126171 |
| Ancillary and other fee income | 4805 | 5094 |
| Float income | 20376 | 25594 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $130143 | $156859 |

---

As previously discussed, RoundPoint handles substantially all servicing functions for the mortgage loans underlying the Company's MSR, as well as for its originated or purchased mortgage loans held-for-sale. For the remaining portion of the Company's serviced mortgage assets, the Company contracts with appropriately licensed third-party subservicers to handle the servicing functions in the name of the subservicer. All third-party subservicing costs and other servicing expenses directly related to the Company's MSR portfolio are included within the servicing costs line item on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. All servicing-related general and administrative expenses incurred by RoundPoint are included within the compensation and benefits and other operating expenses line items on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

***Mortgage Servicing Advances***

As the servicer of record for the MSR assets, the Company may be required to advance principal and interest payments to security holders, and intermittent tax and insurance payments to local authorities and insurance companies on mortgage loans that are in forbearance, delinquency or default. The Company is responsible for funding these advances, potentially for an extended period of time, before receiving reimbursement from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Servicing advances are priority cash flows in the event of a loan principal reduction or foreclosure and ultimate liquidation of the real estate-owned property, thus making their collection reasonably assured. These servicing advances, net of an allowance for uncollectible advances, totaled $83.5 million and $103.5 million and were included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, mortgage loans in 60+ day delinquent status (whether or not subject to forbearance) accounted for approximately 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively, of the aggregate principal balance of loans for which the Company had servicing advance funding obligations (loans underlying the Company's MSR).

The Company has one revolving credit facility to finance its servicing advance obligations. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had pledged servicing advances with a gross carrying value of $80.0 million and $100.1 million, respectively, as collateral for this revolving credit facility. See Note 12 - *Financing*.

***Serviced Mortgage Assets***

The Company's total serviced mortgage assets consist of mortgage loans underlying its MSR assets, off-balance sheet mortgage loans owned by third parties and subserviced by the Company, off-balance sheet mortgage loans owned by third parties for which the Company acts as servicing administrator (subserviced by appropriately licensed third-party subservicers), and originated or purchased mortgage loans held-for-sale at period-end.

**Note 6. Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale, at Fair Value**

The Company originates residential mortgage loans for the purpose of selling to the GSEs or other third-party investors in the secondary market on a servicing-retained basis, typically within 60 days of origination. The Company also holds a small amount of mortgage loans purchased from the collateral underlying its MSR. Mortgage loans held-for-sale are recorded at fair value as a result of a fair value option election. The following table presents the carrying value of Company's mortgage loans held-for-sale as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The Company is subject to credit risk associated with its originated mortgage loans during the period of time prior to the sale of these loans. The Company considers credit risk associated with these loans to be minimal as it holds the loans for a short period of time and the market for these loans continues to be highly liquid.

The Company utilizes repurchase agreements and warehouse lines of credit to finance its mortgage loans held-for-sale. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had pledged mortgage loans held-for-sale with a carrying value of $18.2 million and $13.4 million, respectively, as collateral for its repurchase agreements and warehouse line of credit. See Note 12 - *Financing*.

**Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities**

The Company enters into a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments in connection with its risk management activities. The primary objective for executing these derivative and non-derivative instruments is to mitigate the Company's economic exposure to future events that are outside its control, principally cash flow volatility associated with interest rate risk (including associated prepayment risk). Specifically, the Company enters into derivative and non-derivative instruments to economically hedge interest rate risk or "duration mismatch (or gap)" by adjusting the duration of its floating-rate borrowings into fixed-rate borrowings to more closely match the duration of its assets. This particularly applies to floating-rate borrowing agreements with maturities or interest rate resets of less than six months. Typically, the interest receivable terms (*e.g.*, Overnight Index Swap Rate ("OIS") or Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")) of certain derivatives match the terms of the underlying debt, resulting in an effective conversion of the rate of the related borrowing agreement from floating to fixed. The objective is to manage the cash flows associated with current and anticipated interest payments on borrowings, as well as the ability to roll or refinance borrowings at the desired amount by adjusting the duration.

To help manage the adverse impact of interest rate changes on the value of the Company's portfolio, its cash flows, and its loan origination pipeline, the Company may, at times, enter into various forward contracts, including short securities, Agency to-be-announced securities ("TBAs"), options, futures, swaps, caps, credit default swaps, total return swaps and forward mortgage loan sale commitments. In executing on the Company's current risk management strategy, the Company has entered into TBAs, interest rate swap agreements, futures, options on futures, interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs"), and forward mortgage loan sale commitments. The Company has also entered into a number of non-derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk, principally MSR and interest-only securities (see discussion below).

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

The following summarizes the Company's significant asset and liability classes, the risk exposure for these classes, and the Company's risk management activities used to mitigate these risks. The discussion includes both derivative and non-derivative instruments used as part of these risk management activities. Any of the Company's derivative and non-derivative instruments may be entered into in conjunction with one another in order to mitigate risks. As a result, the following discussions of each type of instrument should be read as a collective representation of the Company's risk mitigation efforts and should not be considered independent of one another. While the Company uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to achieve the Company's risk management activities, it is possible that these instruments will not effectively mitigate all or a substantial portion of the Company's market rate risk. In addition, the Company might elect, at times, not to enter into certain hedging arrangements in order to maintain compliance with REIT requirements.

***Balance Sheet Presentation***

In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records derivative financial instruments on its consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities at fair value. Changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative instruments and whether they are designated or qualify as hedge instruments. Due to the volatility of the interest rate and credit markets and difficulty in effectively matching pricing or cash flows, the Company has not designated any current derivatives as hedging instruments.

The following tables present the gross fair value and notional amounts of the Company's derivative financial instruments treated as trading derivatives as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

***Interest Rate Sensitive Assets/Liabilities***

The Company's Agency RMBS portfolio is generally subject to change in value when interest rates or prepayment speeds decrease or increase, depending on the type of investment. Periods of rising interest rates with corresponding decreasing prepayment speeds generally result in a decline in the value of the Company's fixed-rate Agency principal and interest (P&I) RMBS. The impact of this effect on the Company's fixed-rate Agency P&I RMBS portfolio is partially mitigated by the presence of fixed-rate interest-only Agency RMBS, which generally increase in value when prepayment speeds decrease and MSR, which generally increase in value when prepayment speeds decrease and interest rates increase. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $8.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of interest-only securities, and $2.4 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, of MSR. Interest-only securities are included in AFS securities, at fair value, in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company monitors its borrowings under repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities, which are generally floating-rate debt, in relation to the rate profile of its portfolio. In connection with its risk management activities, the Company enters into a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments to economically hedge interest rate risk or duration mismatch (or gap) by adjusting the duration of its floating-rate borrowings into fixed-rate borrowings to more closely match the duration of its assets. This particularly applies to borrowing agreements with maturities or interest rate resets of less than six months. Typically, the interest receivable terms (*e.g.*, OIS or SOFR) of certain derivatives match the terms of the underlying debt, resulting in an effective conversion of the rate of the related borrowing agreement from floating to fixed. The objective is to manage the cash flows associated with current and anticipated interest payments on borrowings, as well as the ability to roll or refinance borrowings at the desired amount by adjusting the duration. To help manage the adverse impact of interest rate changes on the value of the Company's portfolio, its cash flows and its loan origination pipeline (consisting of IRLCs and mortgage loans held-for-sale), the Company may, at times, enter into various forward contracts, including short securities, TBAs, options, futures, swaps, caps, credit default swaps, total return swaps and forward mortgage loan sale commitments. In executing on the Company's current interest rate risk management strategy, the Company has entered into TBAs, interest rate swap agreements, futures, options on futures and forward mortgage loan sale commitments.

*TBAs.* The Company may use TBAs as a means of deploying capital until targeted investments are available, to take advantage of temporary displacements, funding advantages or valuation differentials in the marketplace, or to help manage the adverse impact of interest rate changes on the value of the Company's loan origination pipeline. The Company may use TBAs independently, or in conjunction with other derivative and non-derivative instruments, in order to mitigate risks. TBAs are forward contracts for the purchase (long notional positions) or sale (short notional positions) of Agency RMBS. The issuer, coupon and stated maturity of the Agency RMBS are predetermined as well as the trade price, face amount and future settle date (published each month by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association). However, the specific Agency RMBS to be delivered upon settlement is not known at the time of the TBA transaction. As a result, and because physical delivery of the Agency RMBS upon settlement cannot be assured, the Company accounts for TBAs as derivative instruments.

The Company may hold both long and short notional TBA positions, which are disclosed on a gross basis according to the unrealized gain or loss position of each TBA contract regardless of long or short notional position. The following tables present the notional amount, cost basis, market value and carrying value (which approximates fair value) of the Company's TBA positions as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

*Interest Rate Lock Commitments*. The Company enters into IRLCs to originate residential mortgage loans at specified interest rates and terms within a specified period of time with customers who have applied for a loan and may meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. IRLCs are subject to changes in mortgage interest rates from the date of the commitment through the date of funding the loan or the cancellation or expiration of the lock commitment, generally ranging between 30 and 90 days. IRLCs are considered freestanding derivatives and are recorded at fair value at inception inclusive of the inherent value of servicing the loan. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding IRLCs of $65.8 million and $49.6 million in principal ($57.0 million and $37.7 million pull-through adjusted) with a net fair value asset balance of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

*Forward Mortgage Loan Sale Commitments*. The Company uses forward mortgage loan sale commitments to manage exposure to interest rate risk and changes in the fair value of IRLCs from the date of the commitment through the date of funding or cancellation or expiration of the lock commitment. Forward mortgage loan sale commitments are also used to manage exposure to interest rate risk and changes in the fair value of the Company's mortgage loans held-for-sale from the date of funding through the date of sale in the secondary market, typically within 60 days of origination. TBAs are also a form of forward commitments used to help manage the adverse impact of interest rate changes on the value of the Company's loan origination pipeline (refer to discussion above). Forward mortgage loan sale commitments are recorded at fair value based on pricing of similar instruments in the secondary market based upon the investor, coupon, and estimated sale or delivery month. The Company's expectation of the amount of IRLCs that will ultimately close is a key factor in determining the notional amount of derivatives used in economically hedging the position. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding forward mortgage loan sale commitment derivatives; however, included in the table presenting the Company's TBA positions above are $54.0 million and $35.0 million of short notional TBA positions with a net fair value asset balance of $0.6 million and liability balance of $0.1 million, respectively, specifically used to manage the adverse impact of interest rate changes on the value of the Company's loan origination pipeline.

***Credit Risk***

The Company's exposure to credit losses on its Agency RMBS portfolio is limited due to implicit or explicit backing from either a GSE or a U.S. government agency. The payment of principal and interest on the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae mortgage-backed securities is guaranteed by those respective agencies, and the payment of principal and interest on the Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

In future periods, the Company could enhance its credit risk protection, enter into further paired derivative positions, including both long and short credit default swaps, and/or seek opportunistic trades in the event of a market disruption. The Company also has processes and controls in place to monitor, analyze, manage and mitigate its credit risk with respect to non-Agency securities and mortgage loans held-for-sale.

Derivative financial instruments contain an element of credit risk if counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. Credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is measured as the net replacement cost should the counterparties that owe the Company under such contracts completely fail to perform under the terms of these contracts, assuming there are no recoveries of underlying collateral, as measured by the market value of the derivative financial instruments. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of derivative financial instruments as an asset and liability position was $71.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

The Company attempts to mitigate its credit risk exposure on derivative financial instruments by limiting its counterparties to banks and financial institutions that meet established internal credit guidelines. The Company also seeks to spread its credit risk exposure across multiple counterparties in order to reduce its exposure to any single counterparty. Additionally, the Company reduces credit risk on the majority of its derivative instruments by entering into agreements that permit the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty or clearing agency upon the occurrence of certain events. To further mitigate the risk of counterparty default, the Company maintains collateral agreements with certain of its counterparties and clearing agencies, which require both parties to maintain cash deposits in the event the fair values of the derivative financial instruments exceed established thresholds. The Company's centrally cleared interest rate swaps and exchange-traded futures and options on futures require the Company to post an "initial margin" amount determined by the clearing exchange, which is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the exchange from the derivative instrument's maximum estimated single-day price movement. The Company also exchanges "variation margin" based upon daily changes in fair value, as measured by the exchange. The exchange of variation margin is considered a settlement of the derivative instrument, as opposed to pledged collateral. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the receipt or payment of variation margin as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the centrally cleared or exchange-traded derivative asset or liability.

**Note 9. Reverse Repurchase Agreements**

The Company may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with third-party broker-dealers whereby it purchases U.S. Treasury securities under agreements to resell at an agreed-upon price and date. Generally, the Company may enter into reverse repurchase agreement transactions in order to effectively borrow U.S. Treasury securities that it can then deliver to counterparties to whom it has made short sales of the same securities, earn a yield on excess cash balances, or preserve existing repurchase agreements by substituting collateral. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $140.1 million and $146.4 million in amounts due to counterparties as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements that could be pledged, delivered or otherwise used, with a carrying value of the reverse repurchase agreements of $170.9 million and $157.1 million, respectively.

**Note 10. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities**

Certain of the Company's repurchase agreements are governed by underlying agreements that provide for a right of setoff in the event of default by either party to the agreement. The Company also has netting arrangements in place with all derivative counterparties pursuant to standard documentation developed by the International Swap and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") or central clearing exchange agreements. The Company and the counterparty or clearing agency are required to post cash collateral based upon the net underlying market value of the Company's open positions with the counterparty. Additionally, the Company's centrally cleared interest rate swaps and exchange-traded futures and options on futures require the Company to post an initial margin amount determined by the clearing exchange, which is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the exchange from the derivative instrument's maximum estimated single-day price movement. The Company also exchanges variation margin based upon daily changes in fair value, as measured by the exchange.

Under U.S. GAAP, if the Company has a valid right of setoff, it may offset the related asset and liability and report the net amount. Based on rules governing certain central clearing and exchange-trading activities, the exchange of variation margin is considered a settlement of the derivative instrument, as opposed to pledged collateral. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the receipt or payment of variation margin on Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") and London Clearing House ("LCH") cleared positions as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the centrally cleared or exchange-traded derivative asset or liability. The receipt or payment of initial margin is accounted for separate from the derivative asset or liability.

Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements with the same counterparty and the same maturity are presented net in the Company's consolidated balance sheets when the terms of the agreements meet the criteria to permit netting. The Company reports cash flows on repurchase agreements as financing activities and cash flows on reverse repurchase agreements as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company presents derivative assets and liabilities (other than centrally cleared or exchange-traded derivative instruments) subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements on a net basis, based on derivative type and counterparty, in its consolidated balance sheets. Separately, the Company presents cash collateral subject to such arrangements (other than variation margin on centrally cleared or exchange-traded derivative instruments) on a net basis, based on counterparty, in its consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company does not offset repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements or derivative assets and liabilities (other than centrally cleared or exchange-traded derivative instruments) with the associated cash collateral on its consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables present information about the Company's assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements and can potentially be offset on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

____________________

(1)Amounts presented are limited in total to the net amount of assets or liabilities presented in the consolidated balance sheets by instrument. Excess cash collateral or financial assets that are pledged to counterparties may exceed the financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement, or counterparties may have pledged excess cash collateral to the Company that exceed the corresponding financial assets. These excess amounts are excluded from the table above, although separately reported within restricted cash, due from counterparties, or due to counterparties in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

**Note 11. Fair Value**

***Fair Value Measurements***

ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures* ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (*i.e.*, observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (*i.e.*, unobservable inputs). Additionally, ASC 820 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity's own credit standing, when measuring fair value of a liability.

ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy to be used when measuring and disclosing fair value. An instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The following is a description of the three levels:

**Level 1**Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date under current market conditions. Additionally, the entity must have the ability to access the active market and the quoted prices cannot be adjusted by the entity.

**Level 2**Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means for substantially the full-term of the assets or liabilities.

**Level 3**Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity. The unobservable inputs represent the assumptions that market participants would use to price the assets and liabilities, including risk. Generally, Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that require significant judgment or estimation.

**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models and significant assumptions utilized.

*Available-for-sale securities*. The Company holds a portfolio of AFS securities that are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and primarily comprised of Agency and non-Agency investment securities. The Company determines the fair value of its Agency RMBS based upon prices obtained from third-party brokers and pricing vendors received using bid price, which are deemed indicative of market activity. The third-party pricing vendors use pricing models that generally incorporate such factors as coupons, primary and secondary mortgage rates, rate reset period, issuer, prepayment speeds, credit enhancements and expected life of the security. In determining the fair value of its non-Agency securities, management judgment may be used to arrive at fair value that considers prices obtained from third-party pricing vendors and other applicable market data. If observable market prices are not available or insufficient to determine fair value due principally to illiquidity in the marketplace, then fair value is based upon models that are primarily based on observable market-based inputs but also include unobservable market data inputs (including prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, and credit losses).

The Company classified 99.95% and 0.05% of its AFS securities as Level 2 and Level 3 fair value assets, respectively, at March 31, 2026.

*Mortgage servicing rights*. The Company holds a portfolio of MSR that are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines fair value of its MSR using a discounted cash flow model, which incorporates both observable and unobservable market data. Although MSR transactions may be observable in the marketplace, the details of those transactions are not necessarily reflective of the value of the Company's MSR portfolio. Inputs into the model include principal balance, note rate, geographical location, loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios, FICO and other loan characteristics, along with servicing fee, ancillary income, earnings rates on escrow balances and recapture rates. Significant unobservable inputs include prepayment speeds; option adjusted spread ("OAS"), which represents the incremental spread added to the risk-free rate to reflect the effects of any embedded options and other risk inherent in MSR; and cost to service. The Company obtains third-party valuations, industry surveys and other available market data quarterly to assess the reasonableness of the significant unobservable inputs used in the cash flow model, as well as the fair value calculated by the cash flow model, subject to internally-established hierarchy and override procedures. As a result, the Company classified 100% of its MSR as Level 3 fair value assets at March 31, 2026.

*Mortgage loans held-for-sale*. The Company recognizes on its consolidated balance sheets originated mortgage loans held-for-sale that are carried at fair value as a result of a fair value option election. The Company estimates fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value attributable to mortgage servicing and credit risk; (ii) current commitments to purchase loans; or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these fair values are derived from market observable inputs, the Company classified 100% of its mortgage loans held-for-sale as Level 2 fair value assets at March 31, 2026.

*Derivative instruments*. The Company may enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of its hedging strategies, including over-the-counter ("OTC") derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps. The Company utilizes third-party brokers to value its OTC derivative instruments. The Company classified 100% of its interest rate swaps reported at fair value as Level 2 at March 31, 2026.

The Company may also enter into certain other derivative financial instruments, such as inverse interest-only securities, TBAs, futures and options on futures. The Company utilizes third-party pricing vendors to value inverse interest-only securities, as these instruments are similar in form to the Company's AFS securities. The Company classified 100% of its inverse interest-only securities at fair value as Level 2 at March 31, 2026. TBAs, futures and options on futures are considered to be active markets such that participants transact with sufficient frequency and volume to provide transparent pricing information for identical instruments. The Company utilizes third-party pricing vendors to value TBAs, futures and options on futures. The Company reported 100% of its TBAs and futures as Level 1 as of March 31, 2026. The Company did not hold any options on futures at March 31, 2026.

The Company also enters into IRLCs and forward mortgage loan sale commitment derivatives in connection with its origination activities. The Company determines fair value of its IRLCs based on valuation models that use the market price for similar loans sold in the secondary market, net of costs to close the loans, subject to the estimated loan funding probability or pull-through rate. Given the significant and unobservable nature of the pull-through rate assumption, the Company classified 100% of its IRLCs as Level 3 at March 31, 2026. The Company did not hold any forward mortgage loan sale commitment derivatives at March 31, 2026.

The Company's policy is to minimize credit exposure related to financial derivatives used for hedging by limiting the hedge counterparties to major banks, financial institutions, exchanges, and private investors who meet established capital and credit guidelines as well as by limiting the amount of exposure to any individual counterparty.

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

The Company has netting arrangements in place with all derivative counterparties pursuant to standard documentation developed by ISDA or central clearing exchange agreements. Additionally, both the Company and the counterparty or clearing agency are required to post cash margin based upon the net underlying market value of the Company's open positions with the counterparty. Posting of cash margin typically occurs daily, subject to certain dollar thresholds. Due to the existence of netting arrangements, as well as frequent cash margin posting at low posting thresholds, credit exposure to the Company and/or to the counterparty or clearing agency is considered materially mitigated. Based on the Company's assessment, there is no requirement for any additional adjustment to derivative valuations specifically for credit.

***Recurring Fair Value***

The following tables display the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company often economically hedges the fair value change of its assets or liabilities with derivatives and other financial instruments. The tables below display the hedges separately from the hedged items, and therefore do not directly display the impact of the Company's risk management activities:

The valuation of Level 3 instruments requires significant judgment by management and its third-party pricing vendors. Both management and the third-party pricing vendors rely on inputs such as market price quotations from market makers (either market or indicative levels), original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows to determine fair value. Level 3 instruments may also be discounted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by management and the third-party pricing vendors in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by management and the third-party pricing vendors due to lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Company's consolidated financial statements.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

The Company's valuation committee reviews all valuations determined using discounted cash flow models, as well as those that are based on pricing information received from third-party pricing vendors. As part of this review, all valuations are compared against third-party valuations, industry surveys and other pricing or input data points in the marketplace, along with internal valuation expertise, to ensure the pricing is reasonable. In addition, the Company performs back-testing of pricing information to validate price information and identify any pricing trends of third-party pricing vendors.

In determining fair value, both management and third-party pricing vendors may use various valuation approaches, including market and income approaches. Inputs that are used in determining fair value may include pricing information, credit data, volatility statistics, underlying instrument (*e.g.*, loan) characteristics, prepayment speeds, expected life, earnings rates and cost to service. Inputs can be either observable or unobservable.

The availability of observable inputs can vary by instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace and other characteristics particular to the instrument. Management and/or third-party pricing vendors use prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified to or from various levels within the fair value hierarchy.

Securities that are priced using third-party broker quotations are valued at the bid price (in the case of long positions) or the ask price (in the case of short positions) at the close of trading on the date as of which value is determined. Exchange-traded securities for which no bid or ask price is available are valued at the last traded price. OTC derivative contracts, including interest rate swap agreements, are valued by the Company using observable inputs, specifically quotations received from third-party brokers. Exchange-traded derivative instruments, including futures and options on futures, are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

The Company used multiple third-party pricing vendors in the fair value measurement of its Level 3 AFS securities. The significant unobservable inputs used by the third-party pricing vendors included expected default, severity and discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in any of the inputs in isolation may result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

***Nonrecurring Fair Value***

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company re-measures the fair value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, operating lease right of use assets, intangible assets and goodwill if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period. No instances requiring re-measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which fair value can be estimated.

The following describes the Company's methods for estimating the fair value for financial instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AFS securities, MSR, mortgage loans held-for-sale and derivative assets and liabilities are recurring fair value measurements; carrying value equals fair value. See discussion of valuation methods and assumptions within the *Fair Value Measurements* section of this Note 11.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash have a carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these assets as Level 1.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reverse repurchase agreements have a carrying value which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these assets as Level 2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The carrying value of repurchase agreements, revolving credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit that mature in less than one year generally approximates fair value due to the short maturities. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $847.9 million under revolving credit facilities that are considered long-term. The Company's long-term revolving credit facilities have floating rates based on an index plus a spread and the credit spread is typically consistent with those demanded in the market. Accordingly, the interest rates on these borrowings are at market and thus carrying value approximates fair value. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these liabilities as Level 2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Senior notes are carried at their unpaid principal balance, net of any unamortized deferred issuance costs. The Company estimates the fair value of its senior notes using the quoted price on the NYSE as of March 31, 2026. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these liabilities as Level 1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prior to their maturity and repayment in January 2026, convertible senior notes were carried at their unpaid principal balance, net of any unamortized deferred issuance costs. The Company estimated the fair value of its convertible senior notes using the market transaction price nearest to reporting date. The Company categorized the fair value measurement of these liabilities as Level 2.

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

(1)As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, MSR repurchase agreements totaling $575.0 million and $650.0 million, respectively, were secured by VFNs issued issued by MSR Issuer Trust and collateralized by portions of the Company's MSR portfolio. See Note 3 - *Variable Interest Entities* for further details.

Although the transactions under repurchase agreements represent committed borrowings until maturity, the respective lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require the Company to provide additional collateral or fund margin calls.

As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the net carrying value of assets sold under agreements to repurchase, including accrued interest plus any cash or assets on deposit to secure the repurchase obligation, less the amount of the repurchase liability, including accrued interest, with any individual counterparty or group of related counterparties did not exceed 10% of total stockholders' equity. The Company does not anticipate any defaults by its repurchase agreement counterparties. There can be no assurance, however, that any such default or defaults will not occur.

*Revolving Credit Facilities*

To finance MSR assets and related servicing advance obligations, the Company has entered into revolving credit facilities collateralized by the value of the MSR and/or servicing advances pledged. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding short- and long-term borrowings under revolving credit facilities of $916.9 million and $919.4 million with a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.68% and 6.77% and weighted average remaining maturities of 1.5 and 1.8 years, respectively.

**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

Although the transactions under revolving credit facilities represent committed borrowings from the time of funding until maturity, the respective lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets below a designated threshold would require the Company to provide additional collateral or pay down the facility. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, MSR with a carrying value of $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, was pledged as collateral for the Company's future payment obligations under its MSR revolving credit facilities. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, servicing advances with a carrying value of $80.0 million and $100.1 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral for the Company's future payment obligations under its servicing advance revolving credit facility. The Company does not anticipate any defaults by its revolving credit facility counterparties, although there can be no assurance that any such default or defaults will not occur.

*Warehouse Lines of Credit*

To finance origination activities, the Company has entered into a warehouse line of credit collateralized by the value of the mortgage loans pledged for a period of up to 90 days or until they are sold to the GSEs or other third-party investors in the secondary market, typically within 60 days of origination. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding short-term borrowings under its warehouse line of credit of $12.7 million and $9.4 million with a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.67% and 6.00% and weighted average remaining maturities of 86 and 80 days, respectively.

Although transactions under the warehouse line of credit represent committed borrowings from the time of funding until maturity, the respective lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets below a designated threshold would require the Company to provide additional collateral or pay down the facility. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, mortgage loans held-for-sale with a carrying value of $12.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral for the Company's future payment obligations under its warehouse line of credit. Additionally, as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cash of $0.4 million was held in restricted accounts as collateral for future payment obligations of outstanding balances under the warehouse line of credit. The Company does not anticipate any defaults by its warehouse line of credit counterparties, although there can be no assurance that any such default or defaults will not occur.

***Unsecured Financing***

*Senior Notes*

On May 13, 2025, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of its senior notes due in 2030, which included $15.0 million aggregate principal amount sold by the Company to the underwriters of the offering pursuant to an overallotment option. The senior notes are unsecured and bear an interest rate of 9.375% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15. The senior notes will mature in August 2030, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The Company may redeem the senior notes, in whole or in part, any time on or after May 15, 2027, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may also repurchase the senior notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions at the same or differing price without giving prior notice to or obtaining any consent of the holders. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $110.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding amount included on the consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized deferred issuance costs, was $111.2 million and $111.1 million, respectively.

*Convertible Senior Notes*

The Company's convertible senior notes were repaid in full on their January 15, 2026 maturity date, were unsecured, paid interest semiannually at a rate of 6.25% per annum and were convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding amount included on the consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized deferred issuance costs, was $261.8 million.

**Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies** 

The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely involved in numerous legal and regulatory proceedings, including but not limited to judicial, arbitration, regulatory and governmental proceedings related to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of the Company's business. These legal proceedings are at varying stages of adjudication, arbitration or investigation and may consist of a variety of claims, including common law tort and contract claims, consumer protection-related claims and claims under other laws and regulations. Any legal proceedings or actions brought against the Company may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, business improvement orders, consent orders, supervisory agreements, restrictions on business activities, or other results adverse to the Company, which could materially and negatively affect its business. The Company seeks to resolve all litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing, and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. Under ASC 450, *Contingencies* ("ASC 450"), liabilities are established for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts established or the range of reasonably possible loss disclosed for those claims.

Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any legal or regulatory claims or other contingencies that would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and therefore no accrual is required as of March 31, 2026.

(1)Subject to the Company's right under limited circumstances to redeem the preferred stock earlier than the redemption eligible date disclosed in order to preserve its qualification as a REIT or following a change in control of the Company.

(2)The dividend rate on the fixed-to-floating rate redeemable preferred stock will remain at an annual fixed rate of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference from the issuance date up to but not including the transition date disclosed within. Effective as of the fixed-to-floating rate conversion date and onward, dividends will accumulate on a floating rate basis according to the terms disclosed in footnote (3) below.

(3)On and after the fixed-to-floating rate conversion date, dividends will accumulate and be payable quarterly at a percentage of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference equal to a floating base rate plus the spread indicated with respect to each series of preferred stock. The floating base rate with respect to each series of preferred stock, following the applicable conversion date, is the three-month CME Term SOFR plus a tenor spread of 0.26161%.

For each series of preferred stock, the Company may redeem the stock on or after the redemption eligible date in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time. The Company may also purchase shares of preferred stock from time to time in the open market by tender or in privately negotiated transactions. Each series of preferred stock has a par value of $0.01 per share and a liquidation and redemption price of $25.00, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Through March 31, 2026, the Company had declared and paid all required quarterly dividends on the Company's preferred stock.

*Preferred Share Repurchase Program*

In June 2022, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock, which includes each series shown in the table above under the heading Redeemable Preferred Stock. Preferred shares may be repurchased from time to time through privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, pursuant to trading plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or by any combination of such methods. The manner, price, number and timing of preferred share repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including market conditions and applicable SEC rules. The preferred share repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares, and, subject to SEC rules, purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice. The preferred share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. No shares of the Company's preferred stock were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company reclassified unrealized losses on sold AFS securities of $12.4 million and $47.0 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to loss on investment securities on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

**Note 15. Equity Incentive Plans**

The Company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), provides incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, personnel and other parties who may provide significant services to the Company. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors. The compensation committee has the full authority to administer and interpret the Equity Incentive Plan, to authorize the granting of awards, to determine the eligibility of potential recipients to receive an award, to determine the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award (subject to the individual participant limitations provided in the Equity Incentive Plan), to determine the terms, provisions and conditions of each award (which may not be inconsistent with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan), to prescribe the form of instruments evidencing awards and to take any other actions and make all other determinations that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Equity Incentive Plan or the administration or interpretation thereof. In connection with this authority, the compensation committee may, among other things, establish performance goals that must be met in order for awards to be granted or to vest, or for the restrictions on any such awards to lapse.

The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based awards (including performance share units ("PSUs")), phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards. The Equity Incentive Plan is subject to a ceiling of 4,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

The Equity Incentive Plan allows for the Company's board of directors to expand the types of awards available under the Equity Incentive Plan to include long-term incentive plan units in the future. If an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. Unless earlier terminated by the Company's board of directors, no new award may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date that the Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company's board of directors. No award may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan to any person who, assuming payment of all awards held by such person, would own or be deemed to own more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

***Restricted Stock Units***

The following table summarizes the activity related to RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

| Outstanding at End of Period | 1123247 | $11.33 | 898632 | $12.92 |

---

The estimated fair value of RSUs on grant date is based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the NYSE on such date. The shares underlying RSUs granted to independent directors are subject to a one-year vesting period. RSUs granted to certain eligible employees vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, as long as such grantee complies with the terms and conditions of the applicable RSU agreement. All RSUs entitle the grantee to receive dividend equivalent rights ("DERs") during the vesting period. A DER represents the right to receive a payment equal to the amount of cash dividends declared and payable on the grantee's unvested and outstanding equity incentive awards. In the case of RSUs, DERs are paid in cash within 60 days of the quarterly dividend payment date based on the number of unvested and outstanding RSUs held by the grantee on the applicable dividend record date. In the event that an RSU is forfeited, the related DERs which have not yet been paid shall be forfeited.

***Performance Share Units***

The following table summarizes the activity related to PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

| Outstanding at End of Period | 648670 | $14.51 | 873228 | $16.40 |

---

The estimated fair value of PSUs on grant date is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. PSUs vest promptly following the completion of a three year performance period, as long as such grantee complies with the terms and conditions of the applicable PSU award agreement. The number of underlying shares of common stock that vest and that the grantee becomes entitled to receive at the time of vesting will be determined based on the level of achievement of certain Company performance goals during the performance period and will generally range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted. All PSUs entitle the grantee to DERs during the vesting period, which accrue in the form of additional PSUs reflecting the value of any dividends declared on the Company's common stock during the vesting period. In the event that a PSU is forfeited, the related accrued DERs shall be forfeited.

***Restricted Common Stock***

In December 2025, the Company granted 309,187 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The estimated fair value of these awards was $11.32 per share on the grant date, based on the adjusted closing market price of the Company's common stock on the NYSE on such date. Subsequently, 154,593 shares of restricted common stock were withheld to satisfy the applicable 2025 tax withholding obligation. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 154,594 shares of unvested restricted common stock remained outstanding. There were no grants, vestings or forfeitures of restricted common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025 and no shares of unvested restricted common stock outstanding at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The shares underlying the restricted common stock will vest ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, as long as such grantee complies with the terms and conditions of the applicable restricted stock award agreement.

***Non-Cash Equity Compensation Expense***

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized compensation related to RSUs, PSUs and restricted common stock granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan of $4.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $8.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

**Note 17. Income Taxes**

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company qualified to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its taxable income to the extent it annually distributes its net taxable income to stockholders, and does not engage in prohibited transactions. The Company intends to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income and comply with all requirements to continue to qualify as a REIT. The majority of states also recognize the Company's REIT status. The Company's TRSs file separate tax returns and are fully taxed as standalone U.S. C corporations. It is assumed that the Company will retain its REIT status and will incur no REIT level taxation as it intends to comply with the REIT regulations and annual distribution requirements.

**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $4.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which was primarily due to net income from MSR servicing and mortgage loan origination activities, partially offset by net losses recognized on MSR and operating expenses incurred in the Company's TRSs.

Based on the Company's evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements of a contingent tax liability for uncertain tax positions. Additionally, there were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

**Note 18. Earnings Per Share**

The following table presents a reconciliation of the net earnings (loss) and shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

| **Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share:** |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, basic | $19043 | $(92645) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reallocation impact of undistributed earnings to participating equity-based awards |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest expense attributable to dilutive convertible notes |  |  |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted earnings (loss) per weighted average common share | $0.18 | $(0.89) |

---

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share was the effect of adding undistributed earnings reallocated to participating RSAs and RSUs and the assumed conversion of the Company's convertible senior notes, as inclusion for each would have been antidilutive for both periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, also excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share was the effect of the assumed vesting of outstanding PSUs, as inclusion would have been antidilutive.

**TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

**Note 19. Segment Reporting**

The Company generally derives its revenues from its investment portfolio of MSR and Agency RMBS, which includes servicing fee income, float income, ancillary and other fee income, and interest income, net of premium amortization and discount accretion, and mortgage loan origination activities established primarily to benefit the MSR portfolio through the retention or recapture of existing borrowers. The Company's investment portfolio is subject to market risks, primarily interest rate risk, basis risk and prepayment risk. Through its investment in MSR and interest-only Agency RMBS, management seeks to offset a portion of its Agency pool market value exposure. The Company's strategy of pairing MSR and Agency RMBS, with a focus on managing various associated risks, including interest rate, basis, prepayment, and credit and financing risk, is intended to generate more stable performance, relative to an investment portfolio of Agency RMBS without MSR, across changing market environments.

The Company's investment portfolio is managed as a whole and resources are allocated and financial performance is assessed by the Company's Chief Investment Officer, its chief operating decision maker (the "CODM"), based on total assets reported on the consolidated balance sheet and comprehensive income (loss) reported on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The Company's CODM views consolidated expense information related to interest expenses, compensation and benefits, other operating expenses and tax expenses to be significant. Consolidated comprehensive income (loss) is also used by the CODM to monitor actual results and benchmarking to that of its peers, the results of which are used to establish management's compensation. Investment and hedging decisions are assessed collectively by the CODM, based on the inputs discussed above. Accordingly, the Company consists of a single operating and reportable segment and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented as a single reportable segment.

**Note 20. Subsequent Events**

Events subsequent to March 31, 2026 were evaluated through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and, except as otherwise discussed in Note 1 - *Organization and Operations*, no other additional events were identified requiring further disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**General**

We are a Maryland corporation that invests in, finances and manages mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") and Agency residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), and, through our operational platform, RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC ("RoundPoint"), we are one of the largest servicers of conventional loans in the country. Agency refers to a U.S. government sponsored enterprise ("GSE"), such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), or a U.S. government agency such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"). We are structured as an internally-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") and our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "TWO." We seek to leverage our core competencies of understanding and managing interest rate and prepayment risk to invest in our portfolio of MSR and Agency RMBS. Our objective is to deliver more stable performance, relative to RMBS portfolios without MSR, across changing market environments, and we are acutely focused on creating sustainable stockholder value over the long term.

One of our wholly owned subsidiaries, TH MSR Holdings LLC, holds the requisite approvals from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to own and manage MSR, which represent a contractual right to control the servicing of a mortgage loan, the obligation to service the loan in accordance with applicable laws and requirements and the right to collect a fee for the performance of servicing activities, such as collecting principal and interest from a borrower and distributing those payments to the owner of the loan. TH MSR Holdings acquires MSR from third-party originators through flow and bulk purchases, as well as through the recapture of MSR on loans in its MSR portfolio that refinance. TH MSR Holdings also acquires MSR on loans originated by its wholly owned subsidiary, RoundPoint, through purchases and recapture of MSR. TH MSR Holdings does not directly service mortgage loans; instead, it engages RoundPoint to handle substantially all servicing functions for the mortgage loans underlying its MSR. Our MSR business leverages our core competencies in prepayment and interest rate risk analytics, and the MSR assets may provide offsetting risks to our Agency RMBS, hedging both interest rate and mortgage spread risk.

RoundPoint has approvals from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae to service residential mortgage loans. RoundPoint services originated or purchased mortgage loans held-for-sale, mortgage loans underlying TH MSR Holdings' MSR, and mortgage loans underlying MSR owned by third parties. RoundPoint also operates an in-house, direct-to-consumer originations platform, which was established primarily to benefit our MSR portfolio through the retention or recapture of existing borrowers by providing them with competitive refinance and purchase mortgage options. The originations platform also originates both first and second mortgages for new borrowers that do not currently have a mortgage loan serviced by RoundPoint and brokers second lien loans to our existing borrowers. For our own MSR portfolio, adding new or recaptured MSR through our origination platform is intended to hedge faster than expected MSR prepayment speeds in a refinance environment, and requires less capital relative to acquiring MSR through flow and bulk purchases from third-party originators. In addition, origination activities are generally counter-cyclical to MSR; MSR fair value tends to move opposite to origination volume. For example, the value of MSR typically increases in periods marked by low origination activity and vice versa. Thus, origination activities provide supplementary sources of profitability to our stockholders while also hedging our MSR.

Our Agency RMBS portfolio is comprised primarily of fixed rate mortgage-backed securities backed by single-family and multi-family mortgage loans. All of our principal and interest Agency RMBS are Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgage pass-through certificates or collateralized mortgage obligations, or Ginnie Mae mortgage pass-through certificates, which are backed by the guarantee of the U.S. government. The majority of our Agency RMBS portfolio is comprised of whole pool certificates.

We seek to deploy moderate leverage as part of our investment strategy. We generally finance our Agency RMBS through short- and long-term borrowings structured as repurchase agreements. We also finance our MSR through revolving credit facilities and repurchase agreements. Additionally, we finance our origination of mortgage loans through repurchase agreements and warehouse lines of credit. We have also issued unsecured debt, namely senior notes and convertible senior notes, the funds from which have been and may be used to purchase our target assets and/or for other general corporate purposes. Our convertible senior notes of $261.9 million in unpaid principal balance ("UPB") were repaid in full on their January 15, 2026 maturity date.

We have elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT we are required to meet certain investment and operating tests and annual distribution requirements. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders, do not participate in prohibited transactions and maintain our intended qualification as a REIT. However, certain activities that we may perform may cause us to earn income which will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. We have designated certain of our subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, to engage in such activities. We also operate our business in a manner that will permit us to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Certain of our subsidiaries have obtained the requisite licenses and approvals to own and manage MSR and to originate and directly service residential mortgage loans.

On March 27, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement (the "Original CCM Merger Agreement") for CrossCountry Intermediate Holdco, LLC ("CCM") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of our common stock in an all-cash transaction (the "CCM Merger"). On April 28, 2026, we and CCM entered into an amendment to the Original CCM Merger Agreement (the "Amendment" and, the Original CCM Merger Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, the "Amended CCM Merger Agreement"). The Amendment, among other things, provides that, at the effective time of the CCM Merger, each outstanding share of our common stock will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $11.30 per share, an increase from the $10.80 per share consideration under the Original CCM Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, at the effective time, each outstanding share of our 8.125% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, 7.625% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 7.25% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Preferred Stock"), will remain issued and outstanding. Promptly after the effective time, the surviving company will deliver a notice of redemption to its preferred stockholders, in accordance with our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, and the Articles Supplementary thereto, and its Amended and Restated Bylaws. Following the effective time, when required in connection with the redemption of the Preferred Stock, CCM, on our behalf, will irrevocably set aside and deposit, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the benefit of our preferred stockholders, cash in immediately available funds in the amount of $25.00 per outstanding share of Preferred Stock, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but not including, the redemption date (the "Preferred Stock Redemption Amount"). On the redemption date set forth in the notice of redemption, each share of Preferred Stock will be redeemed for an amount in cash equal to the Preferred Stock Redemption Amount. The CCM Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to approval of our common stockholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, including customary regulatory approvals.

As previously disclosed, on December 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the "UWM Merger Agreement") with UWM Holdings Corporation ("UWM"). Following the determination that we had received a "Company Superior Proposal," as defined in the UWM Merger Agreement, from CCM, and after considering UWM's proposed revisions to the UWM Merger Agreement in consultation with our financial advisors and outside legal counsel, on March 27, 2026, prior to entering into the Original CCM Merger Agreement, we delivered to UWM a written notice terminating the UWM Merger Agreement. In connection with the termination of the UWM Merger Agreement, CCM, on our behalf, paid UWM a termination fee of $25.4 million in cash as required by the terms of the UWM Merger Agreement (the "UWM Termination Fee"). For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred the UWM Termination Fee of $25.4 million; however this amount was economically and contractually offset through the corresponding payment made by CCM, and accordingly, the UWM Termination Fee did not result in a net impact to our consolidated financial statements.

On March 27, 2026, we entered into the Original CCM Merger Agreement, as amended by the Amendment on April 28, 2026, pursuant to which we will merge with and into a merger subsidiary of CCM, with the merger subsidiary continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of CCM. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than the statements regarding the proposed CCM Merger, do not assume the consummation of the proposed CCM Merger unless specifically stated otherwise.

Important factors, among others, that may affect our actual results include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks relating to the pending CCM Merger, including: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay or prevent closing of the pending CCM Merger or give rise to the termination of the Amended CCM Merger Agreement; unanticipated costs or restrictions resulting from regulatory review of the CCM Merger; restrictions on our business activities imposed by the Amended CCM Merger Agreement; costs incurred in connection with the CCM Merger; and litigation risks relating to the CCM Merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in interest rates and the market value of our target assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in prepayment rates of mortgages underlying our target assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the state of the credit markets and other general economic conditions, particularly as they affect the price of earning assets, the credit status of borrowers and home prices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legislative and regulatory actions, including executive orders, affecting our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability and cost of our target assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability and cost of financing for our target assets, including repurchase agreement financing, warehouse lines of credit, revolving credit facilities and senior notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of any increases in payment delinquencies and defaults on the mortgages comprising and underlying our target assets, including additional servicing costs and servicing advance obligations on the MSR assets we own;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in liquidity in the market for real estate securities, the re-pricing of credit risk in the capital markets, inaccurate ratings of securities by rating agencies, rating agency downgrades of securities, and increases in the supply of real estate securities available-for-sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the values of securities we own and the impact of adjustments reflecting those changes on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and balance sheets, including our stockholders' equity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to generate cash flow from our target assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to effectively execute and realize the benefits of strategic transactions and initiatives we have pursued or may in the future pursue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the competitive landscape within our industry, including changes that may affect our ability to attract and retain personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our exposure to legal and regulatory claims, penalties or enforcement activities, including those arising from our ownership and management of MSR and prior securitization transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our exposure to counterparties involved in our MSR business and prior securitization transactions and our ability to enforce representations and warranties made by them;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to acquire MSR and successfully operate our seller-servicer subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to manage various operational and regulatory risks associated with our business, including the risks associated with operating a mortgage loan servicer and originator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interruptions in or impairments to our communications and information technology systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to establish, adjust and maintain appropriate hedges for the risks in our portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to maintain our REIT qualification for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limitations imposed on our business due to our REIT status and our status as exempt from registration under the 1940 Act.

**Factors Affecting our Operating Results**

Our net interest income includes income from our securities portfolio, including the amortization of purchase premiums and accretion of purchase discounts, and mortgage loans held-for-sale. Net interest income (expense), as well as our servicing income, net of servicing costs, will fluctuate primarily as a result of changes in market interest rates, our financing costs and prepayment speeds on our assets. Interest rates, financing costs and prepayment rates vary according to the type of investment, conditions in the financial markets, competition and other factors, none of which can be predicted with any certainty.

**Fair Value Measurement**

A significant portion of our assets and liabilities are reported at fair value and, therefore, our consolidated balance sheets and statements of comprehensive (loss) income are significantly affected by fluctuations in market prices. At March 31, 2026, approximately 85.2% of our total assets, or $9.0 billion, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value. See Note 11 - *Fair Value* to the consolidated financial statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for descriptions of valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models and significant assumptions utilized. Although we execute various hedging strategies to mitigate our exposure to changes in fair value, we cannot fully eliminate our exposure to volatility caused by fluctuations in market prices.

Any temporary change in the fair value of our available-for-sale ("AFS") securities, excluding certain AFS securities for which we have elected the fair value option, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and does not impact our reported income (loss) for U.S. GAAP purposes ("GAAP net income (loss)"). However, changes in the provision for credit losses on AFS securities are recognized immediately in GAAP net income (loss). Our GAAP net income (loss) is also affected by fluctuations in market prices on the remainder of our financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, including interest rate swap agreements and certain other derivative instruments (*i.e.*, Agency to-be-announced securities ("TBAs"), options on TBAs, futures, options on futures, inverse interest-only securities, interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sale commitments), which are accounted for as derivative trading instruments under U.S. GAAP, fair value option elected AFS securities, MSR and mortgage loans held-for-sale.

We have numerous internal controls in place to help ensure the appropriateness of fair value measurements. Significant fair value measures are subject to detailed analytics and management review and approval.

Our entire Agency RMBS investment portfolio reported at fair value is priced by third-party brokers and/or by independent pricing vendors. We generally receive three or more broker and vendor quotes on pass-through Agency P&I RMBS, and generally receive multiple broker or vendor quotes on all other securities, including interest-only and inverse interest-only Agency RMBS. For Agency RMBS, the third-party pricing vendors and brokers use pricing models that commonly incorporate such factors as coupons, primary and secondary mortgage rates, rate reset periods, issuer, prepayment speeds, credit enhancements and expected life of the security.

We evaluate the prices we receive from both third-party brokers and pricing vendors by comparing those prices to actual purchase and sale transactions, our internally modeled prices calculated based on market observable rates and credit spreads, and to each other both in current and prior periods. We review and may challenge valuations from third-party brokers and pricing vendors to ensure that such quotes and valuations are indicative of fair value as a result of this analysis. We then estimate the fair value of each security based upon the median of the final broker quotes received, subject to internally-established hierarchy and override procedures.

We utilize "bid side" pricing for our Agency RMBS and, as a result, certain assets, especially the most recent purchases, may realize a markdown due to the "bid-offer" spread. To the extent that this occurs on available-for-sale securities not accounted for under the fair value option, any economic effect of this would be reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

We estimate the fair value of our MSR using a discounted cash flow model, which incorporates both observable and unobservable market data, including principal balance, note rate, geographical location, loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios, FICO and other loan characteristics, along with servicing fee, ancillary income, earnings rates on escrow balances and recapture rates. Significant unobservable inputs include prepayment speeds; option adjusted spread ("OAS"), which represents the incremental spread added to the risk-free rate to reflect the effects of any embedded options and other risk inherent in MSR; and cost to service. We obtain third-party valuations, industry surveys and other available market data quarterly to assess the reasonableness of the significant unobservable inputs used in the cash flow model, as well as fair value calculated by the cash flow model, subject to internally-established hierarchy and override procedures.

Considerable judgment is used in forming conclusions and estimating inputs to our Level 3 fair value measurements. Level 3 inputs such as interest rate movements, prepayments speeds, credit losses and discount rates are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have a significant effect on fair value measurements. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our estimates of fair value are indicative of the amounts that would be realized on the ultimate sale or exchange of these assets. At March 31, 2026, 22.6% of our total assets were classified as Level 3 fair value assets.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain judgments and assumptions, based on information available at the time of our preparation of the financial statements, in determining accounting estimates used in preparation of the statements. Accounting estimates are considered critical if the estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made and if different estimates reasonably could have been used in the reporting period or changes in the accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period that would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, included under Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our most critical accounting policies involve our fair valuation of AFS securities, MSR and derivative instruments.

The methods used by us to estimate fair value for AFS securities, MSR and derivative instruments may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair value. Furthermore, while we believe that our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. We use prices obtained from third-party pricing vendors or broker quotes deemed indicative of market activity and current as of the measurement date, which in periods of market dislocation, may have reduced transparency. For more information on our fair value measurements, see Note 11 - *Fair Value* to the consolidated financial statements, included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, the key economic assumptions and sensitivity of the fair value of MSR to immediate adverse changes in these assumptions are presented in Note 5 - *Servicing Activities* to the consolidated financial statements, included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Market Conditions and Outlook**

The performance of equity and fixed-income sectors in the first quarter was adversely affected by the conflict in the Middle East, which began at the end of February and remained uncertain at quarter-end. An oil price shock, triggered by an almost complete cessation of supply coming through the Persian Gulf, resulted in the price of crude oil almost doubling quarter-over-quarter to over $100 per barrel. As a result, forecasts for inflation and economic growth became more uncertain. For U.S. markets, the S&P 500 declined by 4.6%, and the Treasury yield curve bear-flattened. The 2-year Treasury yield rose by 32 basis points ("bps") to 3.79%, while the 10-year Treasury yield increased 15 bps to finish at 4.32%. From February 27, 2026 when the 10-year Treasury yield hit a quarterly low of 3.94%, which happened to coincide with the beginning of the military action in the Middle East, the effects on yields were more stark.

Amid the uncertainty, the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") left rates unchanged at both their February and March meetings. Market expectations for the Fed's effective rate at 2026 year-end rose from 3.06% on December 31, 2025 to 3.57% at March 31, 2026, essentially wiping away any prospects of Fed cuts in 2026. Economic statistics over the quarter were mixed, punctuated by a weaker than anticipated employment report in March, with the unemployment rate unexpectedly rising to 4.4%. Rekindled concerns over inflation and from the oil price shock, were strong enough that despite the apparent deterioration of the labor conditions, interest rates rose into the end of the quarter. The Fed's median rate forecast released in March continued to price in one 25 bps cut in 2026, though the forecast for inflation increased to 2.7% (versus the Fed's 2.0% target), which Chairman Powell said incorporated the observed increase in inflation readings since the February report. The minutes from the Fed's March meeting reinforced the conundrum the Fed faces from the Middle East conflict: potentially worsening inflation coupled with an economic slowdown.

At the start of the quarter, RMBS performance was buoyed by the continued decline of implied volatility and the announcement in early January by the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency directing the GSEs to purchase $200 billion of Agency MBS in an effort to explicitly tighten mortgage spreads. The effort is part of a larger campaign to lower mortgage rates and improve housing affordability. Implied volatility, as measured by 2-year options on 10-year swap rates, fell to 73 bps near the end of January, its lowest level since October 2021, and spreads ratcheted tighter after the announcement. Current coupon spreads reached quarterly narrows in mid-January, with nominal and option-adjusted spreads tightening by 10-15 bps from the beginning of the quarter. Unsurprisingly, the RMBS market delivered positive hedged returns in January, with the Bloomberg US MBS Index delivering 52 bps of excess return, its best month in over a year.

However, over the course of February and March, driven predominantly by the outbreak of the Middle East conflict, the attendant increase in realized and implied volatility and the flattening of the yield curve, performance deteriorated. Implied volatility on 2-year options on 10-year swaps finished the quarter up 5 bps to 85 bps. Current coupon spreads versus swaps, on a nominal and option-adjusted basis, widened by 26 and 15 bps, finishing the quarter at 141 and 60 bps, respectively. Hedged performance versus swaps across the coupon stack was mixed, with some belly coupons and higher coupon specified pools eking out a positive return, while performance for most of the stack between 4.5% and 6.0% was negative. Hedged performance versus U.S. Treasuries was better, as longer-end swap spreads tightened over the quarter. Even so, the Bloomberg US MBS Index, in which performance is measured against U.S. Treasuries, had an excess cumulative return of negative 36 bps over February and March.

The 30-year mortgage rate finished up about 25 bps quarter-over-quarter to about 6.5%, though it touched 6% in both January and February, allowing savvy and fast-acting borrowers to find the best rates in years. While overall prepayment speeds for the universe of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans were unchanged quarter-over-quarter, prepayments rates for refinanceable loans jumped higher in March reacting to the quarterly lows in mortgage rates earlier in the quarter. Though absolute prepayment rates reached similar levels as observed in October 2025, they were more benign after adjusting for rate incentive (i.e., the prepayment "S-curve" in the first quarter was not as reactive as it had been in October when the media effect was most elevated). Our MSR portfolio prepayment rate slowed to only 5.6% conditional prepayment rate ("CPR") in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting declining housing turnover rates in winter months. With prepayment rates on worst-to-deliver high coupon collateral remaining elevated, the call protection offered by specified pools was evident. For the pools owned in our portfolio, they paid only about 9.8% CPR in the quarter, once again around 20% slower lower than model projections, as they benefit from unique and carefully-curated characteristics.

Activity and demand for MSR in the first quarter remained high, with servicing transfers in the first quarter of 2026 topping an estimated $93 billion UPB, outpacing the first quarter of 2025 (approximately $66 billion), though below the fourth quarter of 2025 (approximately $154 billion). We continue to see most of the supply coming from non-bank originators with a broader array of buyer types including other non-bank originators, banks and REITs. Pricing for bulk and flow channels was stable in the first quarter. Given the increase in mortgage rates and wider spreads for RMBS in the first quarter, servicing multiples generally increased. Delinquency rates for GSE servicing remain low.

The housing market remains slow, and persistent inventory shortages in many markets is expected to continue to put upward pressure on prices. We anticipate home prices to rise in the single digits annualized, and for housing turnover to continue to trend about 5% higher year-on-year, especially as primary rates are currently lower year-on-year. Nevertheless, pockets of weakness in Southern markets persist with builders continuing to offer buydowns to move inventory. Housing affordability, which had been improving since mid-2025, is likely to reverse given the rise in mortgage rates.

RMBS funding markets remained stable and available during the quarter. With extra cash moving into the market, repurchase agreement spreads tightened from the fourth quarter of 2025 to around 13 to 20 bps to SOFR in the first quarter of 2026.

Looking ahead, the situation in the Middle East remains highly fluid, and the severity and length of the resulting economic disruptions are very hard to gauge. The steady decline of interest rate volatility in the later half of 2025 and into early 2026 accounted for much of the performance of RMBS spreads. The outbreak of war in the Persian Gulf reversed that, and geopolitical tensions will remain the primary driver of market sentiment and economic outlook. However, it's worth noting that while there was a substantial increase in implied volatility off the quarterly lows, implied volatility for much of the term structure only went back to levels last seen in the fourth quarter of 2025. Current coupon spreads are tighter than they were then, which reflects the explicit support the sector has received from the Administration. In addition to the demand from the GSEs, the Basel III Endgame should be beneficial for RMBS spreads as banks would have more capital to use to purchase MBS and hold mortgage loans, which should reduce securitization rates and RMBS supply. In total, RMBS hedged with swaps possesses favorable nominal yield with less downside compared to prior quarters given favorable supply/demand characteristics, though total performance will be very dependent on interest rate volatility. The MSR market remains well supported, and the paired construction of low mortgage rate MSR with RMBS generates attractive risk adjusted returns with lower expected volatility, relative to RMBS portfolios without MSR. At quarter-end, only about 1% of our MSR portfolio had 50 bps or more of economic incentive to refinance, providing a substantial cushion to a refinance wave. For those loans that are refinanceable, RoundPoint's direct-to-consumer origination effort is efficiently recapturing those borrowers.

***Prepayment speeds and volatility due to interest rates***

Our portfolio is subject to market risks, primarily interest rate risk and prepayment risk. We pair our MSR and interest-only Agency RMBS portfolio with a portion of our Agency pool portfolio to offset risk. During periods of decreasing interest rates with rising prepayment speeds, the market value of our Agency pools generally increases and the market value of our interest-only securities and MSR generally decreases. The inverse relationship occurs when interest rates rise and prepayments fall. Prepayment rates for the MSR portfolio decreased to 5.6% over the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is consistent with the universe of mortgage loans with similar coupon rates, primarily due to mortgage rates rising towards the end of the quarter. In addition to changes in interest rates, changes in home price performance, key employment metrics and government programs, among other macroeconomic factors, can affect prepayment speeds. We believe our active portfolio management approach, including our asset selection process, positions us to respond to a variety of market scenarios. Although we are unable to predict future interest rate movements, our strategy of pairing MSR with Agency RMBS, with a focus on managing various associated risks, including interest rate, prepayment, credit, mortgage spread and financing risk, is intended to generate stable performance, relative to RMBS portfolios without MSR, with a low level of sensitivity to changes in the yield curve, prepayments and interest rate cycles.

The following table provides the three-month average CPR experienced by our Agency RMBS and MSR during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the four immediately preceding quarters:

Our Agency RMBS are primarily collateralized by fixed-rate mortgage loans. Our Agency portfolio also includes securities with implicit prepayment protection, including lower loan balances (securities collateralized by loans of less than $400,000 in initial principal balance), higher LTVs (securities collateralized by loans with LTVs greater than or equal to 80%), certain geographic concentrations, loans secured by investor-owned properties and lower FICO scores.We also hold pools backed by Agency multi-family mortgage loans and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Our overall allocation of Agency RMBS and holdings of pools with specific characteristics are viewed in the context of our aggregate portfolio strategy, including MSR and related derivative hedging instruments. Additionally, the selection of securities with certain attributes is driven by the perceived relative value of the securities, which factors in the opportunities in the marketplace, the cost of financing and the cost of hedging interest rate, prepayment, credit and other portfolio risks. Accordingly, our Agency RMBS capital allocation reflects management's flexible approach to investing in the marketplace.

***Counterparty exposure and leverage ratio***

We monitor counterparty exposure amongst our broker, banking and lending counterparties on a daily basis. We believe our broker and banking counterparties are well-capitalized organizations, and we attempt to manage our cash balances across these organizations to reduce our exposure to any single counterparty.

As of March 31, 2026, we had entered into repurchase agreements with 21 counterparties, 18 of which had outstanding balances. In addition, we held short- and long-term borrowings under revolving credit facilities, warehouse lines of credit, and unsecured borrowings under senior notes. As of March 31, 2026, the debt-to-equity ratio funding our Agency and non-Agency investment securities, MSR and related servicing advances and mortgage loans held-for-sale, which includes unsecured borrowings under senior notes, was 4.8:1.0.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

As of March 31, 2026, we held $476.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $7.3 million of unpledged Agency RMBS and $3.1 million of unpledged non-Agency securities. As a result, we had an overall estimated unused borrowing capacity on our unpledged securities of approximately $8.2 million. As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately $1.6 million of unpledged MSR and $7.4 million of unpledged servicing advances. Overall, on March 31, 2026, we had $102.1 million unused committed and $875.0 million unused uncommitted borrowing capacity on MSR financing facilities, and $81.0 million in unused committed borrowing capacity on servicing advance financing facilities. As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately $0.4 million of unpledged mortgage loans and had $22.3 million unused committed borrowing capacity on our warehouse line of credit and $44.8 million unused uncommitted borrowing capacity on our loan repurchase agreement. Generally, unused borrowing capacity may be the result of our election not to utilize certain financing, as well as delays in the timing in which funding is provided, insufficient collateral or the inability to meet lenders' eligibility requirements for specific types of asset classes.

We also monitor exposure to our MSR counterparties. We may be required to make representations and warranties to investors in the loans underlying the MSR we own; however, some of our MSR were purchased on a bifurcated basis, meaning the representation and warranty obligations remain with the seller. If the representations and warranties we make prove to be inaccurate, we may be obligated to repurchase certain mortgage loans, which may impact the profitability of our portfolio. Although we obtain similar representations and warranties from the counterparty from which we acquired the relevant asset, if those representations and warranties do not directly mirror those we make to the investor, or if we are unable to enforce the representations and warranties against the counterparty for a variety of reasons, including the financial condition or insolvency of the counterparty, we may not be able to seek indemnification from our counterparties for any losses attributable to the breach.

As the servicer of record for our MSR assets, we may be required to advance principal and interest payments to security holders, and intermittent tax and insurance payments to local authorities and insurance companies on mortgage loans that are in forbearance, delinquency or default. We are responsible for funding these advances, potentially for an extended period of time, before receiving reimbursement from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Servicing advances are priority cash flows in the event of a loan principal reduction or foreclosure and ultimate liquidation of the real estate-owned property, thus making their collection reasonably assured. We are also a subservicer, which means we service loans on behalf of third-party clients who own the underlying MSR. Since we do not own the right to service those loans, we do not recognize an MSR asset for those loans in our consolidated financial statements. As a subservicer, we may be obligated to make servicing advances; however, advances are generally limited, with recoveries typically following within 30 days. Additionally, our exposure to foreclosure-related costs and losses is generally limited in our subservicing relationships given those risks are retained by the owner of the MSR.

Our total serviced mortgage assets consist of mortgage loans underlying our MSR assets, off-balance sheet mortgage loans owned by third parties and subserviced by us, off-balance sheet mortgage loans owned by third parties for which we act as servicing administrator (subserviced by appropriately licensed third-party subservicers), and originated or purchased mortgage loans held-for-sale at period-end. The following table presents the number of loans and unpaid principal balance of the mortgage assets for which we manage the servicing as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

**Summary of Results of Operations and Financial Condition**

Our book value per common share for U.S. GAAP purposes was $10.57 at March 31, 2026, a decrease from $11.13 per common share at December 31, 2025. The decline in book value for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by net mark-to-market losses recognized on investment securities and MSR, as well as dividends declared, partially offset by servicing income. Our comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders was $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders of $64.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

**Results of Operations**

***Interest Income***

Interest income decreased to $88.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $111.4 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in Agency RMBS portfolio size.

***Interest Expense***

Interest expense decreased to $95.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $131.7 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to decreases in average borrowings outstanding on the Agency RMBS and MSR portfolios, as well as the lower overall interest rate environment.

***Net Interest Income***

(1)Average asset balance represents average amortized cost on AFS securities and average unpaid principal balance on mortgage loans held-for-sale and reverse repurchase agreements.

(2)Yields on Agency Derivatives not shown as the related interest income is included in gain (loss) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

(3)Yields on mortgage servicing rights and advances not shown as these assets do not earn interest.

The increase in yields on AFS securities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was driven by net sales of lower coupon AFS securities, which was partially offset by slightly higher premium amortization. The decrease in cost of funds associated with the financing of AFS securities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was due to the lower interest rate environment.

The decrease in yields on reverse repurchase agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was due to the lower interest rate environment.

The decrease in cost of funds associated with the financing of MSR assets and related servicing advance obligations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to the lower interest rate environment. We have one revolving credit facility in place to finance our servicing advance obligations, which are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2025, we issued $115.0 million of unsecured senior notes due in 2030, which pay interest quarterly at rate of 9.375% per annum. The cost of funds associated with our senior notes also includes amortization of deferred debt issuance costs.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

We repaid the outstanding balance of our convertible senior notes on the January 15, 2026 maturity date.

The following table presents the components of the yield earned on our AFS securities portfolio as a percentage of our average amortized cost of securities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |

***Net Servicing Income***

The following table presents the components of net servicing income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |
| | **March 31,** | **March 31,** |
| **(in thousands)** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Servicing fee income | $104962 | $126171 |
| Ancillary and other fee income | 4805 | 5094 |
| Float income | 20376 | 25594 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total servicing income | 130143 | 156859 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total servicing costs | 1848 | 3197 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net servicing income | $128295 | $153662 |

---

The decrease in total servicing income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to lower servicing fee income on a smaller MSR portfolio as a result of run-off and sales, and lower float income on lower custodial balances as well as a lower interest rate environment.

As previously discussed, RoundPoint handles substantially all servicing functions for the mortgage loans underlying our MSR. For the remaining portion of our serviced mortgage assets, we contract with appropriately licensed third-party subservicers to handle the servicing functions in the name of the subservicer. All third-party subservicing costs and other servicing expenses directly related to our MSR portfolio are included within the servicing costs line item on our consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. All servicing-related general and administrative expenses incurred by RoundPoint are included within the compensation and benefits and other operating expenses line items on our consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. The decrease in servicing costs during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily the result of lower interest on escrow balances and lower non-recoverable advances.

***Loss On Investment Securities***

In the ordinary course of our business, we make investment decisions and allocate capital in accordance with our views on the changing risk/reward dynamics in the market and in our portfolio. We do not expect to sell assets on a frequent basis, but may sell assets to reallocate capital into new assets that we believe have higher risk-adjusted returns.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

We use a discounted cash flow method to estimate and recognize an allowance for credit losses on AFS securities. Subsequent adverse or favorable changes in expected cash flows are recognized immediately in earnings as a provision for or reversal of provision for credit losses (within loss on investment securities).

The majority of the "other" component of loss on investment securities is related to changes in unrealized gains (losses) on certain AFS securities for which we have elected the fair value option. Fluctuations in this line item are primarily driven by the reclassification of unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses upon sale, as well as changes in fair value assumptions.

***Loss On Servicing Asset***

The following table presents the components of loss on servicing asset for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |
| | **March 31,** | **March 31,** |
| **(in thousands)** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in the valuation model | $4366 | $16016 |
| Changes in fair value due to realization of cash flows (runoff) | (48375) | (52237) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Loss on servicing asset | $(44009) | $(36221) |

---

The increase in loss on servicing asset for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was driven by a less favorable change in valuation assumptions used in the fair valuation of MSR, primarily due to decreasing interest rates with rising prepayment speeds, partially offset by lower portfolio run-off on a lower portfolio balance as a result of sales of MSR.

***Gain (Loss) On Derivative Instruments***

The following table summarizes the components of gain (loss) on derivative instruments recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |
| | **March 31,** | **March 31,** |
| **(in thousands)** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Net interest spread on interest rate swaps | $1712 | $5975 |
| Realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on interest rate swaps | 17027 | (104763) |
| Interest income, net of accretion, on inverse interest-only securities | 2032 | 120 |
| Realized and unrealized net (losses) gains on inverse interest-only securities | (265) | 1632 |
| Realized and unrealized net (losses) gains on TBAs | (42049) | 29478 |
| Realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on futures | 37343 | (29763) |
| Realized and unrealized net losses on options on futures | (159) | (19) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gain (loss) on derivative instruments | $15641 | $(97340) |

---

Net interest spread recognized for the accrual and/or settlement of the net interest income associated with our interest rate swaps results from receiving either a floating interest rate (OIS or SOFR) or a fixed interest rate and paying either a fixed interest rate or a floating interest rate (OIS or SOFR) on positions held to economically hedge/mitigate portfolio interest rate exposure (or duration) risk. We may elect to terminate certain swaps to align with our investment portfolio, agreements may mature or options may expire resulting in full settlement of our net interest spread asset/liability and the recognition of realized gains and losses, including early termination penalties. The change in fair value of interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was a result of changes to floating interest rates (OIS or SOFR), the swap curve and corresponding counterparty borrowing rates. Swaps are used for purposes of hedging our interest rate exposure, and therefore, their unrealized valuation gains and losses (excluding the reversal of unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses upon termination, maturation or option expiration) generally offset a portion of the unrealized losses and gains recognized on our Agency RMBS AFS portfolio, which are recorded either directly to stockholders' equity through other comprehensive (loss) income or to loss on investment securities, in the case of certain AFS securities for which we have elected the fair value option.

***Operating Expenses***

The following table presents the components of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |
| | **March 31,** | **March 31,** |
| **(dollars in thousands)** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Compensation and benefits: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-cash equity compensation expenses | $4422 | $6523 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Merger-related compensation costs <sup>(1)</sup> | 1029 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All other compensation and benefits | 21247 | 20066 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total compensation and benefits | $26698 | $26589 |
| Other operating expenses: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other merger-related costs <sup>(1)</sup> | $4605 | $— |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain litigation-related costs <sup>(2)</sup> |  | 106 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All other operating expenses | 18144 | 20399 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total other operating expenses | $22749 | $20505 |
| Annualized operating expense ratio | 11.0% | 8.7% |
| Annualized operating expense ratio, excluding non-cash equity compensation, merger-related costs and certain litigation-related costs <sup>(1) (2)</sup> | 8.8% | 7.5% |

---

____________________

(1)Merger-related compensation and other costs consist of expenses incurred in connection with the proposed CCM Merger, as well as the terminated UWM Merger.

(2)Certain litigation-related costs consists of expenses incurred in connection with the litigation with our former external manager, PRCM Advisers LLC, prior to its resolution in the third quarter of 2025.

The increase in total operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily driven by expenses incurred in connection with the proposed CCM Merger and the terminated UWM Merger, partially offset by lower non-cash equity compensation expenses and other operating expenses. The increase in our annualized operating expense ratios was also driven by the lower average equity balances in the denominator as a result of the comprehensive losses incurred and dividends declared during 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2026.

***Income Taxes***

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized a provision for income taxes of $4.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which was primarily due to net income from MSR servicing and mortgage loan origination activities, partially offset by net losses recognized on MSR and operating expenses incurred in our TRSs.

***Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income***

The following table provides a summary of the components of other comprehensive (loss) income during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended** | **Three Months Ended** |

| **(in thousands)** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Unrealized (losses) gains on available-for-sale securities | $(56580) | $110220 |
| Realized losses on sales of available-for-sale securities reclassified to loss on investment securities | 12389 | 46952 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other comprehensive (loss) income | $(44191) | $157172 |

---

With our accounting treatment for AFS securities, unrealized fluctuations in the market values of AFS securities, excluding certain AFS securities for which we have elected the fair value option and securities with an allowance for credit losses, are recorded directly to stockholders' equity through other comprehensive (loss) income. Additionally, we reclassify unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities in accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income (loss) upon the recognition of any realized gains and losses on sales as individual securities are sold. Fluctuations in other comprehensive (loss) income are driven by changes in fair value assumptions and the reclassification of unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses upon sale.

***Available-for-Sale Securities, at Fair Value***

The majority of our AFS investment securities portfolio is comprised of fixed rate Agency mortgage-backed securities backed by single-family and multi-family mortgage loans. We also hold $3.1 million in tranches of mortgage-backed and asset-backed P&I and interest-only non-Agency securities. All of our P&I Agency RMBS AFS are Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgage pass-through certificates or collateralized mortgage obligations, or Ginnie Mae mortgage pass-through certificates, which are backed by the guarantee of the U.S. government. The majority of our Agency RMBS portfolio is comprised of whole pool certificates.

***Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value***

One of our wholly owned subsidiaries, TH MSR Holdings, has approvals from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to own and manage MSR, which represent the right to control the servicing of residential mortgage loans. TH MSR Holdings acquires MSR from third-party originators through flow and bulk purchases, as well as through the recapture of MSR on loans in its MSR portfolio that refinance. TH MSR Holdings also acquires MSR on loans originated by its subsidiary, RoundPoint, through purchases and recapture of MSR. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our MSR had a fair market value of $2.4 billion.

As of March 31, 2026, our MSR portfolio included MSR on 665,942 loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $158.9 billion. The following table summarizes certain characteristics of the loans underlying our MSR by gross weighted average coupon rate types and ranges at March 31, 2026:

***Financing***

Our borrowings consist primarily of repurchase agreements, revolving credit facilities, warehouse lines of credit and senior notes. Repurchase agreements, revolving credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit are collateralized by our pledge of AFS securities, derivative instruments, MSR, mortgage loans held-for-sale, servicing advances and certain cash balances, while senior notes are considered unsecured corporate debt. Substantially all of our Agency RMBS are currently pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements. Additionally, a substantial portion of our MSR is currently pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities, and a portion of our servicing advances have been pledged as collateral for revolving credit facilities. We have three repurchase facilities in place that are secured by VFNs issued by one of our subsidiary trust entities, MSR Issuer Trust, and collateralized by portions of our MSR portfolio. (See Note 3 - *Variable Interest Entities* to the consolidated financial statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further details). Substantially all of our funded mortgage loans held-for-sale are currently pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements and warehouse lines of credit for a period of up to 90 days or until they are sold to the GSEs or other third-party investors in the secondary market, typically within 60 days of origination. Additionally, in May 2025, we issued senior notes due in 2030, which are unsecured and pay interest quarterly at a rate of 9.375% per annum.

(1)Includes unsecured borrowings under senior notes due August 2030, paying interest quarterly at a rate of 9.375% per annum on the aggregate principal amount, which was $115.0 million on March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, the debt-to-equity ratio funding our Agency and non-Agency investment securities, MSR and related servicing advances and mortgage loans held-for-sale, which includes unsecured borrowings under senior notes, was 4.8:1.0. Our Agency RMBS, given their liquidity and high credit quality, are eligible for higher levels of leverage, while MSR, with less liquidity and/or more exposure to prepayment risk, utilize lower levels of leverage. Generally, our debt-to-equity ratio is directly correlated to the composition of our portfolio; typically, the higher the percentage of Agency RMBS we hold, the higher our debt-to-equity ratio will be. However, in addition to portfolio mix, our debt-to-equity ratio is a function of many other factors, including the liquidity of our portfolio, the availability and price of our financing, the diversification of our counterparties and their available capacity to finance our assets, and anticipated regulatory developments. We may alter the percentage allocation of our portfolio among our target assets depending on the relative value of the assets that are available to purchase from time to time, including at times when we are deploying proceeds from offerings we conduct. We believe the current degree of leverage within our portfolio helps ensure that we have access to unused borrowing capacity, thus supporting our liquidity and the strength of our balance sheet.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our liquidity and capital resources are managed and forecasted on a daily basis. We believe this helps ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to absorb market events that could negatively impact collateral valuations and result in margin calls. We also believe that it gives us the flexibility to manage our portfolio to take advantage of market opportunities.

Our principal sources of cash consist of borrowings under repurchase agreements, revolving credit facilities, warehouse lines of credit, senior notes, payments of principal and interest we receive on our target assets, cash generated from our operating results, and proceeds from capital market transactions. We typically use cash to repay principal and interest on our borrowings, to purchase our target assets, to make dividend payments on our capital stock, and to fund our operations. To the extent that we raise additional equity capital through capital market transactions, we anticipate using cash proceeds from such transactions to purchase our target assets and for other general corporate purposes. Such general corporate purposes may include the refinancing or repayment of debt, the repurchase or redemption of common and preferred equity securities, and other capital expenditures. We believe that cash generated from our operating results, liquidity under our borrowing capacity and proceeds from capital market transactions will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

As of March 31, 2026, we held $476.3 million in cash and cash equivalents available to support our operations; $9.0 billion of AFS securities, MSR, mortgage loans held-for-sale and derivative assets held at fair value; and $8.3 billion of outstanding debt in the form of repurchase agreements and borrowings under revolving credit facilities, warehouse lines of credit and senior notes. The debt-to-equity ratio funding our Agency and non-Agency investment securities, MSR and related servicing advances and mortgage loans held-for-sale, which also includes all unsecured corporate debt, was 4.8:1.0 at March 31, 2026, consistent with the prior quarter. The economic debt-to-equity ratio funding our Agency and non-Agency investment securities, MSR and related servicing advances and mortgage loans held-for-sale, which also includes all unsecured corporate debt, implied debt on net TBA cost basis and net payable (receivable) for unsettled RMBS, was 6.4:1.0 at March 31, 2026, a decrease from 7.0:1.0 at December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately $7.3 million of unpledged Agency RMBS and $3.1 million of unpledged non-Agency securities. As a result, we had an overall estimated unused borrowing capacity on unpledged securities of approximately $8.2 million. As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately $1.6 million of unpledged MSR and $7.4 million of unpledged servicing advances. Overall, on March 31, 2026, we had $102.1 million unused committed and $875.0 million unused uncommitted borrowing capacity on MSR financing facilities, and $81.0 million in unused committed borrowing capacity on servicing advance financing facilities. As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately $0.4 million of unpledged mortgage loans and had $22.3 million unused committed borrowing capacity on our warehouse lines of credit and $44.8 million unused uncommitted borrowing capacity on our loan repurchase agreement. Generally, unused borrowing capacity may be the result of our election not to utilize certain financing, as well as delays in the timing in which funding is provided, insufficient collateral or the inability to meet lenders' eligibility requirements for specific types of asset classes. On a daily basis, we monitor and forecast our available, or excess, liquidity. Additionally, we frequently perform shock analyses against various market events to monitor the adequacy of our excess liquidity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not experience any material issues accessing our funding sources. We expect ongoing sources of financing to be primarily repurchase agreements, revolving credit facilities, warehouse lines of credit, senior notes and similar financing arrangements. We plan to finance our assets with a moderate amount of leverage, the level of which may vary based upon the particular characteristics of our portfolio and market conditions.

As of March 31, 2026, we had master repurchase agreements in place with 21 counterparties (lenders), the majority of which are U.S. domiciled financial institutions, and we continue to evaluate additional counterparties to manage and optimize counterparty risk. Under our repurchase agreements, we are required to pledge additional assets as collateral to our lenders when the estimated fair value of the existing pledged collateral under such agreements declines and such lenders, through a margin call, demand additional collateral. Lenders generally make margin calls because of a perceived decline in the value of our assets collateralizing the repurchase agreements. This may occur following the monthly principal reduction of assets due to scheduled amortization and prepayments on the underlying mortgages, or may be caused by changes in market interest rates, a perceived decline in the market value of the investments and other market factors. To cover a margin call, we may pledge additional assets or cash. At maturity, any cash on deposit as collateral is generally applied against the repurchase agreement balance, thereby reducing the amount borrowed. Should the value of our assets suddenly decrease, significant margin calls on our repurchase agreements could result, causing an adverse change in our liquidity position.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

In addition to our master repurchase agreements that fund our Agency and non-Agency securities, we have three repurchase facilities and two revolving credit facilities that provide short- and long-term financing for our MSR portfolio. We also have one revolving credit facility that provides long-term financing for our servicing advances, and one master repurchase agreement and one warehouse line of credit that provide short-term financing for our mortgage loans held-for-sale. A summary of our MSR, servicing advance and mortgage loan financing facilities is provided in the table below:

Although we generally intend to hold our target assets as long-term investments, we may sell certain of our assets in order to manage our interest rate risk and liquidity needs, to meet other operating objectives and to adapt to market conditions. Our Agency RMBS are generally actively traded and thus, in most circumstances, readily liquid. However, certain of our assets, including MSR and mortgage loans held-for-sale, are subject to longer trade timelines, and, as a result, market conditions could significantly and adversely affect the liquidity of our assets. Any illiquidity of our assets may make it difficult for us to sell such assets if the need or desire arises. Our ability to quickly sell certain assets, such as MSR and mortgage loans, may be limited by delays encountered while obtaining certain Agency approvals required for such dispositions and may be further limited by delays due to the time period needed for negotiating transaction documents, conducting diligence, and complying with Agency requirements regarding the transfer of such assets before settlement may occur. Consequently, even if we identify a buyer for our MSR and mortgage loans, there is no assurance that we would be able to quickly sell such assets if the need or desire arises.

In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we previously recorded our assets. Assets that are illiquid are more difficult to finance, and to the extent that we use leverage to finance assets that become illiquid, we may lose that leverage or have it reduced. Assets tend to become less liquid during times of financial stress, which is often the time that liquidity is most needed. As a result, our ability to sell assets or vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be limited by liquidity constraints, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We cannot predict the timing and impact of future sales of our assets, if any. Because many of our assets are financed with repurchase agreements, revolving credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit, a significant portion of the proceeds from sales of our assets (if any), prepayments and scheduled amortization are used to repay balances under these financing sources.

The following table provides the maturities of our repurchase agreements, revolving credit facilities, warehouse lines of credit, senior notes and convertible senior notes as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our restricted and unrestricted cash balance decreased approximately $301.8 million to $0.8 billion at March 31, 2026. The cash movements can be summarized by the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Cash flows from operating activities.* For the three months ended March 31, 2026, operating activities increased our cash balances by approximately $56.6 million, primarily driven by our financial results for the quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Cash flows from investing activities*. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, investing activities decreased our cash balances by approximately $38.1 million, driven by net purchases of AFS securities and net payments for reverse repurchase agreements, partially offset by principal payments received on AFS securities and net proceeds on derivative instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Cash flows from financing activities.* For the three months ended March 31, 2026, financing activities decreased our cash balance by approximately $320.2 million, primarily driven by the repayment of our convertible senior notes on their January 15, 2026 maturity date, the payment of fourth quarter dividends and net paydowns on our repurchase agreement financing.

**Inflation**

Our assets and liabilities are financial in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates and other factors impact our performance far more than does inflation, although inflation rates can often have a meaningful influence over the direction of interest rates. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and dividends are based upon net ordinary income and capital gains as calculated for tax purposes; in each case, our results of operations and reported assets, liabilities and equity are measured with reference to historical cost or fair value without considering inflation.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

We seek to manage our risks related to the credit quality of our assets, interest rates, liquidity, prepayment speeds and market value while providing an opportunity to stockholders to realize more stable performance, relative to RMBS portfolios without MSR, across changing market environments. Although we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we believe that risk can be quantified from historical experience, and we seek to manage our risk levels in order to earn sufficient compensation to justify the risks we undertake and to maintain capital levels consistent with taking such risks.

To manage the risks to our portfolio, we employ portfolio-wide and asset-specific risk measurement and management processes in our daily operations. Risk management tools include software and services licensed or purchased from third parties as well as proprietary and third-party analytical tools and models. There can be no guarantee that these tools and methods will protect us from market risks.

***Interest Rate Risk***

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our assets and related financing obligations. Additionally, rising interest rates are likely to have an adverse impact on the operational efficiency and, thus profitability, of our loan originations platform.

Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, we engage in a variety of interest rate risk management techniques that seek to mitigate the influence of interest rate changes on the values of our assets. We may enter into a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments to economically hedge interest rate risk or "duration mismatch (or gap)" by adjusting the duration of our floating-rate borrowings into fixed-rate borrowings to more closely match the duration of our assets. This particularly applies to borrowing agreements with maturities or interest rate resets of less than six months. Typically, the interest receivable terms (*i.e.*, OIS or SOFR) of certain derivatives match the terms of the underlying debt, resulting in an effective conversion of the rate of the related borrowing agreement from floating to fixed. The objective is to manage the cash flows associated with current and anticipated interest payments on borrowings, as well as the ability to roll or refinance borrowings at the desired amount by adjusting the duration.

To help manage the adverse impact of interest rate changes on the value of our portfolio, our cash flows, and our loan origination pipeline (consisting of IRLCs and mortgage loans held-for-sale), we may, at times, enter into various forward contracts, including short securities, TBAs, options, futures, swaps, caps, credit default swaps, total return swaps and forward mortgage loan sale commitments. In executing on our current interest rate risk management strategy, we have entered into TBAs, interest rate swap agreements, futures, options on futures, IRLCs and forward mortgage loan sale commitments. In addition, because MSR are negative duration assets, they may provide a hedge to interest rate exposure on our Agency RMBS portfolio. In hedging interest rate risk, we seek to mitigate the impact of changing interest rates on the value of our investments, improve risk-adjusted returns and, where possible, obtain a favorable spread between the yield on our assets and the cost of our financing. Our hedging methods are based on many factors, including, but not limited to, our estimates with regard to future interest rates.

REIT income arising from "clearly identified" hedging transactions that are entered into to manage the risk of interest rate or price changes with respect to borrowings, including gains from the disposition of such hedging transactions, to the extent the hedging transactions hedge indebtedness incurred, or to be incurred, by the REIT to acquire or carry real estate assets, will not be treated as gross income for purposes of either the 75% or the 95% gross income tests. In general, for a hedging transaction to be "clearly identified," (i) it must be identified as a hedging transaction before the end of the day on which it is acquired, originated, or entered into, and (ii) the items of risks being hedged must be identified "substantially contemporaneously" with entering into the hedging transaction (generally not more than 35 days after entering into the hedging transaction). We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our qualification as a REIT, although this determination depends on an analysis of the facts and circumstances concerning each hedging transaction. We also implement part of our hedging strategy through our TRSs, which are subject to U.S. federal, state and, if applicable, local income tax.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

We treat our TBAs as qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% asset test, to the extent set forth in an opinion from Sidley Austin LLP substantially to the effect that, for purposes of the 75% asset test, our ownership of a TBA should be treated as ownership of the underlying Agency RMBS. We also treat income and gains from our TBAs as qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, to the extent set forth in an opinion from Sidley Austin LLP substantially to the effect that, for purposes of the 75% gross income test, any gain recognized by us in connection with the settlement of our TBAs should be treated as a gain from the sale or disposition of the underlying Agency RMBS.

***Interest Rate Effect on Net Interest Income***

Our operating results depend in large part on differences between the income earned on our assets and our cost of borrowing and hedging activities. The costs associated with our borrowings are generally based on prevailing market interest rates. During a period of rising interest rates, our borrowing costs generally will increase while the coupon interest earned on our existing portfolio of leveraged fixed-rate Agency RMBS and mortgage loans held-for-sale will remain static. Both of these factors could result in a decline in our net interest spread and net interest margin. The inverse result may occur during a period of falling interest rates. The severity of any such decline or increase in our net interest spread and net interest margin would depend on our asset/liability composition at the time, as well as the magnitude and duration of the interest rate increase or decrease.

Our hedging techniques are partly based on assumed levels of prepayments of our target assets. If prepayments are slower or faster than assumed, the life of the investment will be longer or shorter, which could reduce the effectiveness of any hedging strategies we may use and may cause losses on such transactions. Hedging strategies involving the use of derivative securities are highly complex and may produce volatile returns.

The following analyses of risks are based on our experience, estimates, models and assumptions. The analysis is based on models which utilize estimates of fair value and interest rate sensitivity. Actual economic conditions or implementation of decisions may produce results that differ significantly from the estimates and assumptions used in our models.

We perform interest rate sensitivity analyses on various measures of our financial results and condition by examining how our assets, financing and hedges will perform in various interest rate "shock" scenarios. Two of these measures are presented below in more detail. The first measure is change in annualized net interest income over the next 12 months, including interest spread from our interest rate swaps and float income from custodial accounts associated with our servicing portfolio. The second measure is change in value of financial position, including the value of our derivative assets and liabilities. All changes in value are measured as the change from the March 31, 2026 financial position. All projected changes in annualized net interest income are measured as the change from the projected annualized net interest income based off current performance returns.

Computation of the cash flows for the rate-sensitive assets underpinning change in annualized net interest income are based on assumptions related to, among other things, prepayment speeds, yield on future acquisitions, slope of the yield curve, and size of the portfolio (for example, the assumption for prepayment speeds for Agency RMBS and MSR is that they do not change in response to changes in interest rates). Assumptions for the interest rate sensitive liabilities relate to, among other things, collateral requirements as a percentage of borrowings and amount/term of borrowing. These assumptions may not hold in practice; realized net interest income results may therefore be significantly different from the net interest income produced in scenario analyses. We also note that the uncertainty associated with the estimate of a change in net interest income is directly related to the size of interest rate move considered.

Computation of results for portfolio value involves a two-step process. The first is the use of models to project how the value of interest rate sensitive instruments will change in the scenarios considered. The second, and equally important, step is the improvement of the model projections based on application of our experience in assessing how current market and macroeconomic conditions will affect the prices of various interest rate sensitive instruments. Judgment is best applied to localized (less than 25 bps) interest rate moves. The more an instantaneous interest rate move exceeds 25 bps, the greater the likelihood that accompanying market events are significant enough to warrant reconsideration of interest rate sensitivities. As with net interest income, the uncertainty associated with the estimate of change in portfolio value is therefore directly related to the size of interest rate move considered.

The following interest rate sensitivity table displays the potential impact of instantaneous, parallel changes in interest rates of +/- 25 and +/- 50 bps on annualized net interest income and portfolio value, based on our interest sensitive financial instruments at March 31, 2026. The preceding discussion shows that the results for the 25 bps move scenarios are the best representation of our interest rate exposure, followed by those for the 50 bps move scenarios. This hierarchy reflects our localized approach to managing interest rate risk: monitoring rates and rebalancing our hedges on a day-to-day basis, where rate moves only rarely exceed 25 bps in either direction.

Certain assumptions have been made in connection with the calculation of the information set forth in the foregoing interest rate sensitivity table and, as such, there can be no assurance that assumed events will occur or that other events will not occur that would affect the outcomes. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at March 31, 2026. As discussed, the analysis utilizes assumptions and estimates based on our experience and judgment. Furthermore, future purchases and sales of assets could materially change our interest rate risk profile.

The information set forth in the interest rate sensitivity table above and all related disclosures constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. While this table reflects the estimated impact of interest rate changes on the static portfolio, we actively manage our portfolio and continuously make adjustments to the size and composition of our asset and hedge portfolio. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the foregoing interest rate sensitivity table.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ifaa690b25ef740b1b862b4b4e7c64739_10)</u>

***Prepayment Risk***

Prepayment risk is the risk that the principal amount of a mortgage loan will be repaid at a different rate than anticipated. As we receive prepayments of principal on our Agency RMBS, premiums paid on such assets will be amortized against interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates will accelerate the amortization of purchase premiums, thereby reducing the interest income earned on the assets.

We believe that we will be able to reinvest proceeds from scheduled principal payments and prepayments at acceptable yields; however, no assurances can be given that, should significant prepayments occur, market conditions would be such that acceptable investments could be identified and the proceeds timely reinvested.

MSR are also subject to prepayment risk in that, generally, an increase in prepayment rates on the mortgage loans underlying the MSR would result in a decline in value of the MSR as the prepayment acts to cut short the anticipated life of the servicing income stream.

***Market Risk***

*Market Value Risk.* Our AFS securities are reflected at their estimated fair value, with the difference between amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses and estimated fair value for all AFS securities except certain AFS securities for which we have elected the fair value option reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The estimated fair value of these securities fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates, market valuation of credit risks, and other factors. Generally, in a rising interest rate environment, we would expect the fair value of these securities to decrease; conversely, in a decreasing interest rate environment, we would expect the fair value of these securities to increase. As market volatility increases or liquidity decreases, the fair value of our assets may be adversely impacted.

Our MSR are reflected at their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates and other factors. Generally, in a rising interest rate environment, we would expect prepayments to decrease and the fair value of our MSR to increase. Conversely, in a decreasing interest rate environment, we would expect prepayments to increase and the fair value of our MSR to decrease.

Our mortgage loans held-for-sale are reflected at their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates, market valuation of credit risks and other factors. Generally in a rising rate environment, we would expect the fair value of these loans to decrease; conversely, in a decreasing rate environment, we would expect the fair value of these loans to increase.

*Real Estate Risk*. Residential property values are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including national, regional and local economic conditions; local real estate conditions (such as the supply of housing); changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, age and design; demographic factors; retroactive changes to building or similar codes; and impacts of climate change, natural disasters and other catastrophes. Decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral for residential mortgage loans and the potential proceeds available to borrowers to repay the loans, which may impact the value of our Agency RMBS due to changes in voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds, and/or may increase costs to service the residential mortgage loans underlying our MSR.

***Liquidity Risk***

Our liquidity risk is principally associated with our financing of long-maturity assets with shorter-term borrowings in the form of repurchase agreements and borrowings under revolving credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit. Although the interest rate adjustments of these assets and liabilities fall within the guidelines established by our operating policies, maturities are not required to be, nor are they, matched.

Should the value of our assets pledged as collateral suddenly decrease, lender margin calls could increase, causing an adverse change in our liquidity position. Moreover, the portfolio construction of MSR, which generally have negative duration, combined with levered RMBS, which generally have positive duration, may in certain market scenarios lead to variation margin calls, which could negatively impact our excess cash position. Additionally, if one or more of our repurchase agreement, revolving credit facility or warehouse line of credit counterparties chose not to provide ongoing funding, our ability to finance would decline or exist at possibly less favorable terms. As such, we cannot provide assurance that we will always be able to roll over our repurchase agreements, revolving credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit. See Part I, Item 2, "*Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources*" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information about our liquidity and capital resource management.

***Credit Risk***

We believe that our investment strategy will generally keep our risk of credit losses low to moderate. However, we retain the risk of potential credit losses on our mortgage loans held-for-sale and all of the loans underlying our non-Agency securities.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

A review and evaluation was performed by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, were effective as of March 31, 2026. Although our CEO and CFO have determined our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The completion of the CCM Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions. In addition, under circumstances specified in the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, either party may terminate the Amended CCM Merger Agreement. In particular, completion of the CCM Merger requires the approval of the CCM Merger by our common stockholders and receipt of certain regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an effect, event, circumstance, occurrence, development or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied. Accordingly, we cannot provide any assurances with respect to the timing of the closing, whether the CCM Merger will be completed at all and when our common stockholders would receive the cash consideration for the CCM Merger, if at all.

***Failure to consummate the CCM Merger as currently contemplated or at all could adversely affect the price of our common stock and our future business and financial results.***

Completion of the CCM Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including approval by our common stockholders of the CCM Merger and receipt of certain regulatory approvals. We cannot guarantee when or if these conditions will be satisfied or that the CCM Merger will be successfully completed. The consummation of the CCM Merger may be delayed, the CCM Merger may be consummated on terms different than those contemplated by the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, or the CCM Merger may not be consummated at all. If the CCM Merger is not completed, or is completed on different terms than as contemplated by the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, we could be adversely affected and subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to consummate the CCM Merger, or to consummate the CCM Merger as contemplated by the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our common stockholders may be prevented from receiving cash consideration for the CCM Merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the market price of our common stock could decline significantly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully consummate the CCM Merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• us being required, under certain circumstances, to pay to CCM a termination fee and to reimburse CCM for the UWM Termination Fee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incurrence of substantial costs relating to the proposed CCM Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the attention of our management and employees may be diverted from their day-to-day business and operational matters as a result of efforts relating to attempting to consummate the CCM Merger.

Any delay in the consummation of the CCM Merger or any uncertainty about the consummation of the CCM Merger on terms other than those contemplated by the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, or if the CCM Merger is not completed, could materially adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price.

***The Amended CCM Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer or could result in any competing acquisition proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.***

The Amended CCM Merger Agreement contains provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict our ability to solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or facilitate any competing proposal. With respect to any written, bona fide competing proposal received by us, CCM generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the Amended CCM Merger Agreement in response to such proposal.

Under the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, we may be required to pay CCM a termination fee of $50.0 million in certain circumstances, including if our board of directors withdraws or modifies its recommendation to our common stockholders or if we terminate the agreement to enter into a superior proposal. The termination fee may also be payable if the Amended CCM Merger Agreement is terminated following a failure to obtain our common stockholder approval after the public announcement of a competing acquisition proposal, together with our subsequent consummation of such proposal.

In addition, we would be required to refund CCM the $25.4 million termination fee that CCM paid to UWM on our behalf in connection with the termination of the UWM Merger Agreement if the Amended CCM Merger Agreement is validly terminated (a) by CCM as a result of an uncured material breach by us of our representations, warranties, covenants or agreements or (b) in any circumstance in which the termination fee is payable as a result of UWM or one of its affiliates entering into an agreement providing for a superior proposal.

These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of our business from considering or proposing a competing acquisition, even if the potential competing acquirer was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than the value proposed to be received or realized in the CCM Merger, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination-related fees that may become payable in certain circumstances under the Amended CCM Merger Agreement.

***The pendency of the CCM Merger could adversely affect our business and operations.***

In connection with the pending CCM Merger, some of the parties with whom we do business may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively impact our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the CCM Merger is completed. In addition, under the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completing the CCM Merger. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing certain strategic transactions, acquiring and disposing assets, undertaking certain capital projects, undertaking certain financing transactions and otherwise pursuing other actions that are not in the ordinary course of business, even if such actions could prove beneficial. These restrictions may impede our growth which could negatively impact our revenue, earnings and cash flows. Additionally, the pendency of the CCM Merger may make it more difficult for us to effectively retain and incentivize key personnel.

***An adverse judgment in any litigation challenging the CCM Merger may prevent the CCM Merger from becoming effective or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.***

Stockholders may file lawsuits challenging the CCM Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Amended CCM Merger Agreement, which may name us and/or our board of directors as defendants. The outcome of such lawsuits cannot be assured, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the CCM Merger on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the consummation of the CCM Merger in the expected timeframe, or may prevent the CCM Merger from being consummated altogether. Whether or not any plaintiff's claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.
