("Annaly"), an internally-managed, publicly traded company that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, and is being furnished in connection with Annaly's Fourth Quarter 2022 earnings release. This presentation is provided for investors in Annaly for informational purposes only and is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or instrument. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation, other written or oral communications, and our public documents to which we refer contain or incorporate by reference certain forward-looking statements which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond our control) and may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "continue," or similar terms or variations on those terms or the negative of those terms. Such statements include those relating to the Company's future performance, macro outlook, the interest rate and credit environments, tax reform and future opportunities. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates; changes in the yield curve; changes in prepayment rates; the availability of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other securities for purchase; the availability of financing and, if available, the terms of any financing; changes in the market value of the Company's assets; changes in business conditions and the general economy; the Company's ability to grow its residential credit business; the Company's ability to grow its mortgage servicing rights business; credit risks related to the Company's investments in credit risk transfer securities and residential mortgage-backed securities and related residential mortgage credit assets; risks related to investments in mortgage servicing rights; the Company's ability to consummate any contemplated investment opportunities; changes in government regulations or policy affecting the Company's business; the Company's ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; the Company's ability to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940; operational risks or risk management failures by us or critical third parties, including cybersecurity incidents; and risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including as related to adverse economic conditions on real estate-related assets and financing conditions. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements, except as required by law. We use our website (www.annaly.com) and LinkedIn account (www.linkedin.com/company/annaly-capital-management) as channels of distribution of company information. The information we post through these channels may be deemed material. Accordingly, investors should monitor these channels, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts.

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

Certain information contained in the presentation discusses general market activity, industry or sector trends, or other broad-based economic, market or political conditions and should not be construed as research or investment advice. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings available for distribution. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures are useful for management, investors, analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating our performance but should not be viewed in isolation and are not a substitute for financial measures computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition, we may calculate our non-GAAP metrics, such as earnings available for distribution, or the premium amortization adjustment, differently than our peers making comparative analysis difficult. Basis of Presentation On September 8, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had unanimously approved a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of 1-for-4 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split was effective following the close of business on September 23, 2022 (the "Effective Time"). Accordingly, at the Effective Time, every four issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock were converted into one share of the Company's common stock. All references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and disclosures have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock Split.

A shift towards less aggressive monetary policy amid slowing growth and easing inflation pressures has led to more constructive fixed income flows and easing of financial conditions 8  Real GDP growth increased 2.1% year- over-year in 2022, much slower than the economic expansion seen in 2021 - Consumption and investment activity have slowed over the course of the year given elevated inflation and higher interest rates  U.S. inflation readings for both goods and services have begun to moderate in recent months from very high levels  While the Federal Reserve has raised the Fed Funds rate by an additional 150 basis points since September 2022, we believe the end of the hiking cycle is near  Interest rate volatility has declined in recent weeks as the outlook for inflation and monetary policy has become more predictable  Demand for fixed income has supported interest rates and tightened Agency MBS spreads into 2023 Q4 2022 Market and Economic Developments Economic growth is witnessing weaker consumption and investment activity Given growth and inflation outlook, Fed Funds is likely to reach terminal rates soon Inflation appears to have peaked, while wages are beginning to slow as well Financial conditions have eased from October levels -7.5% -5.0% -2.5% 0.0% 2.5% 5.0% 7.5% 10.0% 12.5% 2014 2016 2018 2020 2022 Final Domestic Demand to Private Purchasers, QoQ SAAR %(1) +35.3% (29.9%) 0.0% 1.0% 2.0% 3.0% 4.0% 5.0% 6.0% 2014 2016 2018 2020 2022 Core PCE ECI Wages & Salaries Inflation & Wage Growth(2), yoy % 0% 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 2003 2006 2009 2012 2015 2018 2021 Federal Funds Target Rate(3), % Forecast based on interest rate markets 96 97 98 99 100 101 01/01/21 07/01/21 01/01/22 07/01/22 01/01/23 Goldman Sachs Financial Conditions Index, Index(4) Looser Financial Conditions June '22 FOMC Meeting, first 75bps rate hike

Agency \| Business Update Annaly continued to rotate up in coupon and reduce its TBA exposure as investor demand returned to the Agency MBS market and volatility moderated 10 Strategic Approach Market Trends Agency Portfolio Detail Assets Hedges(1) Funding(2)  Annaly's Agency Portfolio is made up of high quality and liquid securities, predominately specified pools, TBAs and derivatives  Portfolio benefits from in-house proprietary analytics that identify emerging prepayment trends and a focus on durable cash flows  Diverse set of investment options within Agency market, including Agency CMBS, that provide complementary duration and return profiles to Agency MBS  Access to deep and varied financing sources, including traditional wholesale repo and proprietary broker-dealer repo  While 2022 was one of the most challenging market environments for fixed income to date, conditions began to recover in the fourth quarter as volatility decreased, risk sentiment improved, spreads tightened from historically wide levels and financing remained readily available  Specified pools are well supported given their addition to the MBS index and investor preference over TBAs due to more limited convexity  Supply of Agency MBS to the private market should be manageable in 2023 as higher rates reduce housing activity and lead to slower runoff from the Federal Reserve's portfolio  As the hiking cycle nears an end and interest rate volatility declines, we believe Agency MBS demand should be strong as nominal spreads remain attractive relative to recent historical time periods Source: Company filings.
