Current report
During the second quarter of 2026, financial markets were comparatively calmer as realized volatility moderated from the elevated levels seen earlier in the year, even as investors continued to weigh the outlook for inflation, monetary policy, and global growth against ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. The U.S. economy continued to expand at a moderate pace, with a steady labor market and only a modest increase in inflation expectations. Market participants priced for the possibility of modest Federal Reserve policy rate hikes, but forward rates curves suggested any such hikes would slowly be removed over time as new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh eventually settled into his new approach for managing the Federal Reserve. Funding markets remained orderly and were well supported by ample system liquidity, and liquidity across the mortgage and repurchase agreement markets continued to function effectively. After spread widening late in the first quarter, spreads across Agency MBS stabilized and moved modestly tighter over the course of the second quarter, supported by muted new mortgage origination supply, the sector's strong liquidity profile, and renewed demand from the GSEs, which increased their purchases of Agency MBS during the bout of widening.
Current report
Interest income increased to $94 million for the second quarter of 2026, driven by our continued deployment of capital into Agency MBS purchases, primarily in 4-5% coupons. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 decreased $5 million, due to the absence of one-time compensation and personnel-related costs recognized during the first quarter of 2026.

Current report
Net interest income and net interest spread for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, as the portfolio grew. Interest expense increased due to a higher average balance of repurchase agreement borrowings used to finance the growth in our MBS portfolio. Net periodic interest earned on interest rate swaps, a component of economic net interest income, decreased by approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing a decline of 3 basis points as a percentage of average repurchase agreement borrowings.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, gains on our hedges exceeded losses on our investments by approximately $102 million. Although higher interest rates negatively impacted the fair value of our Agency MBS, our hedging portfolio effectively mitigated much of this impact, Additionally, the fair value of our Agency MBS benefited from tightening of mortgage spreads to U.S. Treasuries in the second quarter.

Previous report
During the first quarter of 2026, financial markets experienced increased volatility as investors reassessed the outlook for inflation, monetary policy, and global growth amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty. While the U.S. economy continued to expand at a moderate pace, uncertainty around the inflation trajectory led market participants to reduce expectations for near‑term Federal Reserve policy easing. Funding markets remained orderly, and liquidity across the mortgage and repo markets continued to function effectively. Spreads across Agency MBS widened meaningfully, particularly late in the quarter, as periodic correlation with risky assets increased amid macroeconomic and geopolitical developments.
Previous report
Our interest income continued to increase as a result of our deployment of capital into Agency MBS purchases over recent quarters. In addition, the Federal Reserve's rate cuts in 2025 continued to benefit our repurchase agreement financing costs, which declined 33 basis points for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 included an increase of $3.4 million in share-based compensation expense, largely due to accelerated vesting conditions for equity grants associated with the departure of the Company's former chief financial officer.
Previous report
The impact of net periodic interest on our economic net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased over $9 million, or 60 basis points as a percentage of average repurchase agreement borrowings, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our weighted average net receive rate declined 68 basis points to almost 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Previous report
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recorded net gains of $109 million on our investment portfolio due mostly to spread tightening on our assets. We also recorded net gains of $56 million on our interest rate hedging portfolio driven primarily from management of our interest rate swaps as rates increased during the

Previous report
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the fair value of our investment portfolio increased $171.6 million primarily due to a decline of 36 basis points in the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate. These gains were mostly offset by net losses on our hedging portfolio of $(171.1) million (excluding $10.9 million of net periodic interest we earned from our interest rate swaps), as a result of the decline in 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury rates as well as SOFR rates across the curve.

Previous wording
Against this backdrop, Agency MBS continues to offer attractive long‑term return potential relative to other high‑quality fixed‑income assets, particularly given muted new mortgage origination supply and the sector’s strong liquidity profile. We continue to monitor monetary policy, inflation trends, housing market activity, supply‑and‑demand dynamics, and geopolitical developments, as we assess their potential impact on interest rates, spreads, prepayment behavior, and financing conditions. We remain focused on disciplined portfolio construction, liquidity management, and risk positioning as market conditions continue to evolve.
Current wording
Against this backdrop, Agency MBS continues to offer attractive long‑term return potential relative to other high‑quality fixed‑income assets, particularly given the supply dynamics, the sector's strong liquidity profile, and the potential for incremental GSE demand to provide support against episodes of spread widening. At the same time, fund flows into bond funds remain a steady source of demand. The long-term, demographic-led need for income will likely remain a central theme in developed financial markets. We view current spread levels as attractive and remain attentive to the evolving supply‑and‑demand balance, including the pace and composition of GSE purchases, the trajectory of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, especially its holdings of Agency MBS and the level of banking‑system reserves. We continue to monitor monetary policy, inflation trends, housing market activity, supply‑and‑demand dynamics, and geopolitical developments, as well as operational and cybersecurity risks, as we assess their potential impact on interest rates, spreads, prepayment behavior, and financing conditions. We remain focused on disciplined portfolio construction, security selection, liquidity management, and balance‑sheet resilience as market conditions continue to evolve.

Summary of First Quarter 2026 Financial Performance
Current wording
Summary of Second Quarter 2026 Financial Performance
Previous wording
For the first quarter of 2026, our total economic return of $(0.34) per common share was comprised of a decrease in book value of $(0.85) per common share offset by dividends declared of $0.51 per common share. The decrease in book value per common share was driven by a net loss of $(140) million on our investment portfolio, net of hedges, which resulted primarily from widening mortgage spreads late in the quarter. We grew our capital base by $442 million, using the proceeds to opportunistically add investments of $6 billion, net of sales. Our adjusted leverage increased to 8.6 times equity primarily due to our use of repurchase agreement borrowings to partially finance these purchases.
Current wording
Our total economic return for the second quarter of 2026 of $0.81 per common share was comprised of an increase in book value of $0.30 per common share and dividends declared of $0.51 per common share. The increase in book value per common share was primarily comprised of a net gain of $102 million on our investment portfolio, net of hedges. The fair value of our Agency MBS benefited from spread tightening late in the second quarter. Although higher interest rates reduced asset valuations during the second quarter, our hedging portfolio effectively mitigated much of this impact, supporting the overall increase in book value. We raised capital of $391 million, net of commissions, using the proceeds to opportunistically add Agency MBS of $2.8 billion. Leverage including TBAs at implied cost decreased to 8.1 times equity, primarily due to the favorable performance of our portfolio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, losses on our investment portfolio exceeded gains on our hedges by approximately $(139) million, which includes $2 million in net periodic interest we earned from interest rate swaps. The fair value of our investment portfolio declined $(257) million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to widening of mortgage spreads to U.S. Treasuries. The impact of higher U.S. Treasury rates on our investments was offset by net gains on our interest rate hedges of $119 million, which also benefited from higher SOFR-based swap rates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Previous wording
We hold long and short positions in TBA securities by executing a series of transactions, commonly referred to as “dollar roll” transactions, which effectively delay the settlement of a forward purchase (or sale) of a non-specified Agency RMBS by entering into an offsetting TBA position, net settling the paired-off positions in cash, and simultaneously entering into an identical TBA long (or short) position with a later settlement date. TBA securities purchased or sold for a forward settlement date are generally priced at a discount relative to TBA securities settling in the current month because the current month settlement will receive a coupon sooner than the TBA settling in a forward month. This price difference, often referred to as “drop income,” represents the economic equivalent of net interest income (interest income less implied financing cost) on the underlying Agency security from the trade date to the settlement date. We account for all TBAs (whether net long or net short positions, or collectively “TBA dollar roll positions”) as derivative instruments because we cannot assert that it is probable at inception and throughout the term of an individual TBA transaction that its settlement will result in physical delivery of the underlying Agency RMBS, or that the individual TBA transaction will settle in the shortest period possible.

Net interest income and net interest spread increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the purchases of higher yielding Agency MBS over the past year.

We continuously monitor our liquidity, especially with potential risk events on the horizon, such as tariff changes, potential GSE transition, uncertainty regarding Federal Reserve policy decisions, the size of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, quantitative tightening or easing measures, federal government shutdowns, and the impact on global markets stemming from global central bank policies. We are also monitoring the wars and conflicts around the globe. We continuously assess the adequacy of our liquidity under various scenarios based on changes in the fair value of our investments and derivative instruments due to market factors such as changes in the absolute level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, credit spreads, lender haircuts, and prepayment speeds, which in turn have an impact on margin requirements. In performing these analyses, we also consider the current state of the fixed-income markets and the repurchase agreement markets to determine if market forces such as supply-demand imbalances or structural changes to these markets could change the liquidity of MBS or the availability of financing. We have not experienced any material changes in the terms of our repurchase agreements with our counterparties, and they have not indicated to us any concerns regarding access to liquidity.

our capital outweighs the risk to our liquidity and book value. Our leverage, which we calculate using total liabilities plus the cost basis of TBA long positions, was 8.6 times shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2026. We include 100% of the cost basis of our TBA securities in evaluating our leverage because it is possible under certain market conditions that it may be uneconomical for us to roll a TBA long position into future months, which may result in us having to take physical delivery of the underlying securities and use cash or other financing sources to fund our total purchase commitment.

Our perception of the liquidity of our investments and market conditions significantly influences our targeted leverage. In general, our leverage will increase if we view the risk-reward opportunity of higher leverage on our capital outweighs the risk to our liquidity and book value.

Leverage based solely on repurchase agreement amounts outstanding was 7.7 times shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2026. Our repurchase agreement borrowings are uncommitted with terms renewable at the discretion of our lenders and generally have original terms to maturity of overnight to six months, though in some instances, we may enter into longer-dated maturities depending on market conditions. We seek to maintain unused capacity under our existing repurchase agreement credit lines with multiple counterparties, which helps protect us in the event of a counterparty's failure to renew existing repurchase agreements. As part of our continuous evaluation of counterparty risk, we maintain our highest counterparty exposures with broker-dealer subsidiaries of regulated financial institutions or primary dealers.

Collateral requirements for interest rate derivative instruments are typically governed by the central clearing exchange and the associated futures commission merchant, which may establish margin requirements in excess of the clearing exchange. Collateral requirements for our TBA contracts are governed by the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (“MBSD”) of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation and, if applicable, by our third-party brokerage agreements, which may establish margin levels in excess of the MBSD. Our TBA contracts, which are subject to master securities forward transaction agreements published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association as well as supplemental terms and conditions with each counterparty, generally provide that valuations for our TBA contracts and any pledged collateral are to be obtained from a generally recognized source agreed to by both parties. However, in certain circumstances, our counterparties have the sole discretion to determine the value of the TBA contract and any pledged collateral. In such instances, our counterparties are required to act in good faith in making determinations of value. In the event of a margin call, we must generally provide additional collateral on the same business day.

Collateral requirements for our TBA contracts are governed by the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (“MBSD”) of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation and, if applicable, by our third-party brokerage agreements, which may establish margin levels in excess of the MBSD. Our TBA contracts, which are subject to master securities forward transaction agreements published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association as well as supplemental terms and conditions with each counterparty, generally provide that valuations for our TBA contracts and any pledged collateral are to be obtained from a generally recognized source agreed to by both parties. However, in certain circumstances, our counterparties have the sole discretion to

We designate certain derivative instruments as interest rate hedges for tax purposes. Realized gains (losses) resulting from the difference in fair value and the amount of cash received or paid upon termination or maturity of designated derivative instruments are included in GAAP earnings in the same reporting period in which the derivative instrument matures or is terminated by the Company but are generally not recognized in REIT taxable income until future periods. Non-designated derivative instruments are included in GAAP earnings and REIT taxable income in the same period the derivative instrument matures or is terminated by the Company. The table below provides the projected amortization of the Company's net deferred tax hedge gains that may be recognized as taxable income over the periods indicated, given conditions known as of March 31, 2026; however, uncertainty inherent in the forward interest rate curve makes future realized gains and losses difficult to estimate, and as such, these projections are subject to change for any given period.
Current wording
Our reported GAAP financial results will generally differ from our REIT taxable income and dividend distributions due to temporary and permanent differences. For example, we designate certain derivative instruments as interest rate hedges for tax purposes. Realized gains (losses) resulting from the difference in fair value and the amount of cash received or paid upon termination or maturity of designated derivative instruments are included in GAAP earnings in the same reporting period in which the derivative instrument matures or is terminated by the Company but are generally not recognized in REIT taxable income until future periods. Non-designated derivative instruments are included in GAAP earnings and REIT taxable income in the same period the derivative instrument matures or is terminated by the Company.

As of March 31, 2026, we also had $487 million in capital loss carryforwards, $305 million of which will expire by December 31, 2027 and the remainder by December 31, 2028. Due to these amounts and other temporary and permanent differences between GAAP net income and REIT taxable income, coupled with the uncertainty inherent in the forward interest rate curve, we cannot reasonably estimate how much the deferred tax hedge gains to be recognized will impact our dividend declarations during 2026 or in any given period.

As of June 30, 2026, we also had $475 million in capital loss carryforwards, $293 million of which will expire by December 31, 2027 and the remainder by December 31, 2028. Due to these amounts and other temporary and permanent differences between GAAP net income and REIT taxable income, coupled with the uncertainty inherent in the forward interest rate curve, we cannot reasonably estimate how much the deferred tax hedge gains to be recognized will impact our dividend declarations during 2026 or in any given period.

Gains (Losses) on Investments and Derivative Instruments
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, losses on our investment portfolio exceeded gains on our hedges by approximately $(36) million. The fair value of our investment portfolio declined $(303) million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to widening of mortgage spreads to U.S. Treasuries. The impact of higher U.S. Treasury rates on our investments was offset by net gains on our interest rate hedges of $267 million, which also benefited from higher SOFR-based swap rates during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
