Previous wording
Since September 2025, the Federal Reserve has reduced its federal funds rate target by a cumulative 75 basis points to a range of 3.50% to 3.75%. During the first half of 2026, the Federal Open Market Committee maintained a target range at 3.50% to 3.75%, citing continued moderation in inflation, a softer labor market, and uncertainty regarding the economic outlook.
Current wording
Between September 2025 and late 2025, the Federal Reserve reduced its federal funds rate target by a cumulative 75 basis points to a range of 3.50% to 3.75% and maintained this target range through much of 2026. In September 2026, however, the Federal Open Market Committee increased the target range by 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4.00% in support of the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate, citing continued economic uncertainty and inflation that remained above its long-term target.
Previous wording
Conversely, if the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy in the future by increasing the federal funds rate and/or selling securities and reducing its balance sheet, these actions could result in higher interest rates, including for Agency RMBS, and reduce economic activity in the United States, as well as decrease spreads on interest rates, which can reduce our net interest income and increase our funding costs. They may also negatively impact our results as we have certain assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. In addition, lower net interest income resulting from higher rates is partially offset by lower prepayments which extends the length of cash flows from the MSRs and slows the premium amortization on the RMBS portfolio.
Current wording
Future actions by the Federal Reserve could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. To the extent the Federal Reserve further tightens monetary policy by increasing the federal funds rate and/or selling securities and reducing its balance sheet, these actions could result in higher interest rates, including for Agency RMBS, and reduce economic activity in the United States, as well as decrease spreads on interest rates, which can reduce our net interest income and increase our funding costs.

In addition, lower net interest income resulting from higher rates is partially offset by lower prepayments which extends the length of cash flows from the MSRs and slows the premium amortization on the RMBS portfolio.
Previous wording
To the extent the Federal Reserve takes future action to ease monetary policy by reducing its federal funds rate and/or purchasing securities and increasing its balance sheet, it will generally lower interest rates across asset classes, including for Agency RMBS. Lower rates could reduce our funding costs and spur economic activity, increasing our net interest income. Higher prepayment could reduce the length of cash flows from the MSRs and accelerate the premium amortization on the RMBS portfolio.

Unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale RMBS is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Our GAAP equity changes as the values of our RMBS are marked to market each quarter, among other factors. The primary causes of mark to market changes are changes in interest rates and nominal spreads. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026, a rise in interest rates combined with widening of nominal spreads caused a net unrealized loss on our available-for-sale RMBS. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, a small unrealized gain on our available-for-sale RMBS was a result of changes in interest rates combined with the sale of securities. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, a drop in interest rates caused a net unrealized gain on our available-for-sale RMBS. Unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale RMBS is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Previous wording
Earnings available for distribution (“EAD”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as GAAP net income (loss), excluding realized gain (loss) on RMBS, unrealized gain (loss) on RMBS measured at fair value through earnings, realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives, realized gain (loss) on acquired assets, realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments in MSRs (net of any estimated MSR amortization), credit loss and impairment on other assets, transaction related expense and any tax expense (benefit) on realized and unrealized gain (loss) on MSRs and other non-EAD income (loss) items. MSR amortization refers to the portion of the change in fair value of the MSR that is primarily due to the realization of cashflows, runoff resulting from prepayments and an adjustment for any gain or loss on the capital used to purchase the MSR. EAD also includes interest rate swap periodic interest income (expense) and drop income on TBA dollar roll transactions, which are included in “Realized gain (loss) on derivatives, net” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). EAD attributable to common stockholders is adjusted to exclude outstanding LTIP-OP Units in our Operating Partnership and dividends paid on our preferred stock.

Previous wording
EAD for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased by approximately $0.3 million, or $0.01 per average common share primarily due to an increase in drop income on TBA dollar rolls offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.
Current wording
EAD for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or $0.01 per average common share primarily due to a decrease in price premium amortization.
Previous wording
EAD for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 increased by approximately $2.2 million, or $0.02 per average common share primarily due to a decrease in borrowing costs offset by a decrease in interest rate swap periodic interest income.
Current wording
EAD for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 increased by approximately $4.1 million, or $0.09 per average common share primarily due to a decrease in borrowing costs and an increase in drop income on TBA dollar rolls offset by a decrease in interest rate swap periodic interest income.

Previous wording
As of June 30, 2026, we had repurchase agreements with multiple counterparties and approximately $1,008.7 million of outstanding repurchase agreement borrowings from 18 of those counterparties, which were used to finance RMBS. As of June 30, 2026, our exposure (defined as the amount of cash and securities pledged as collateral, less the borrowing under the repurchase agreement) to any of the counterparties under the repurchase agreements did not exceed five percent of the Company’s equity. Under these agreements, which are uncommitted facilities, we sell a security to a counterparty and concurrently agree to repurchase the same security at a later date at the same price that we initially sold the security plus the interest charged. The sale price represents financing proceeds and the difference between the sale and repurchase prices represents interest on the financing. The price at which the security is sold generally represents the market value of the security less a discount or “haircut.” The weighted average haircut on our repurchase debt at June 30, 2026 was approximately 4.5%. During the term of the repurchase transaction, which can be as short as a few days, the counterparty holds the security and posts margin as collateral. The counterparty monitors and calculates what it estimates to be the value of the collateral during the term of the transaction. If this value declines by more than a de minimis threshold, the counterparty requires us to post additional collateral (or “margin”) in order to maintain the initial haircut on the collateral. This margin is typically required to be posted in the form of cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, we are, from time to time, a party to derivative agreements or financing arrangements that may be subject to margin calls based on the value of such instruments.
