Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 –Organization and Business Operations

Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) is a Maryland corporation primarily focused on investing in, financing and managing mortgage-backed securities ("MBS”) and other mortgage-related assets.

As of June 30, 2024, we were invested in:

residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) that are guaranteed by a U.S. government agency such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), or a federally chartered corporation such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) (collectively “Agency RMBS”);

commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) that are guaranteed by a U.S. government agency such as Ginnie Mae or a federally chartered corporation such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (collectively "Agency CMBS");

CMBS that are not guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or a federally chartered corporation (“non-Agency CMBS”); and

RMBS that are not guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or a federally chartered corporation (“non-Agency RMBS”).

During the periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, we also invested in U.S. Treasury securities and real estate-related financing arrangements in the form of unconsolidated ventures.

We conduct our business through IAS Operating Partnership L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and haveone operating segment. We are externally managed and advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (our “Manager”), a registered investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a leading independent global investment management firm.

We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. To maintain our REIT qualification, we are generally required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders annually. We operate our business in a manner that permits our exclusion from the “Investment Company” definition under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Certain disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not required to be included on an interim basis in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We have condensed or omitted these disclosures. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of the fair values of financial instruments, interest income on mortgage-backed securities and allowances for credit losses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to our accounting policies included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 3 –Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

Note 6 –Borrowings

We finance the majority of our investment portfolio through repurchase agreements. Our repurchase agreements bear interest at a contractually agreed upon rate and generally have maturities ranging fromone tosix months. We account for our repurchase agreements as secured borrowings since we maintain effective control of the financed assets. Our repurchase agreements are subject to certain financial covenants. We were in compliance with all of these covenants as of June 30, 2024.

The following tables summarize certain characteristics of our borrowings as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 7 - "Collateral Positions" for collateral pledged and held under our repurchase agreements.

Note 7 -Collateral Positions

The following table summarizes the fair value of collateral that we pledged and held under our repurchase agreements, interest rate swaps and to-be-announced securities forward contracts ("TBAs") as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Fair Value Measurements" of our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a description of how we determine fair value. Agency RMBS and Agency CMBS collateral pledged is included in mortgage-backed securities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash collateral pledged on centrally cleared interest rate swaps is classified as restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash collateral pledged on TBAs accounted for as derivatives is classified as due from counterparties on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Cash collateral held that is not restricted for use is included in cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and the liability to return the collateral is included in collateral held payable. Non-cash collateral held is only recognized if the counterparty defaults or if we sell the pledged collateral. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we did not recognize any non-cash collateral held on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Repurchase Agreements

Collateral pledged with our repurchase agreement counterparties is segregated in our books and records. The repurchase agreement counterparties have the right to resell and repledge the collateral posted but have the obligation to return the pledged collateral, or substantially the same collateral if agreed to by us, upon maturity of the repurchase agreement. Under the repurchase agreements, the respective lender retains the contractual right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. We would be required to provide additional collateral to fund margin calls if the value of pledged assets declined. We intend to maintain a level of liquidity that will enable us to meet margin calls.

The ratio of our total repurchase agreements collateral pledged to our total repurchase agreements outstanding was 104% as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023:106%) based on the fair value of the securities as reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Swaps

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of our interest rate swaps were centrally cleared by a registered clearing organization such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) and LCH Limited (“LCH”) through a Futures Commission

Merchant (“FCM”). We are required to pledge initial margin and daily variation margin for our centrally cleared interest rate swaps that is based on the fair value of our contracts as determined by our FCM. Collateral pledged with our FCM is segregated in our books and records and can be in the form of cash or securities. Daily variation margin for centrally cleared interest rate swaps is characterized as settlement of the derivative itself rather than collateral and is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain of our FCM agreements include cross default provisions.

TBAs

Our TBAs provide for bilateral collateral pledging based on market value as determined by our counterparties. Collateral pledged with our TBA counterparties is segregated in our books and records and can be in the form of cash or securities. Our counterparties have the right to repledge the collateral posted and have the obligation to return the pledged collateral, or substantially the same collateral, if agreed to by us, as the market value of the contracts changes.

Refer to Note 7 - "Collateral Positions" for further information regarding our collateral pledged to and received from our derivative counterparties.

Interest Rate Swaps

At each settlement date, we typically refinance each repurchase agreement at the market interest rate at that time. Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposures to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Under the terms of the majority of our interest rate swap contracts, we make fixed-rate payments to a counterparty in exchange for the receipt of floating-rate amounts over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. To a lesser extent, we also enter into interest rate swap contracts whereby we make floating-rate payments to a counterparty in exchange for the receipt of fixed-rate amounts as part of our overall risk management strategy.

Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income before we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for our interest rate swaps were reclassified to interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as interest was accrued and paid on the related repurchase agreements over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreements. We reclassified $3.2 million and $7.7 million as a decrease to interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there wereno gains or losses on discontinued cash flow hedges remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had interest rate swaps whereby we pay interest at a fixed rate and receive floating interest based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) with the following maturities outstanding.

Note 9 –Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Certain of our repurchase agreements and derivative transactions are governed by underlying agreements that generally provide for a right of offset under master netting arrangements (or similar agreements) in the event of default or in the event of bankruptcy of either party to the transactions. Assets and liabilities subject to such arrangements are presented on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables present information about the assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements (or similar agreements) and can potentially be offset on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The daily variation margin payment for centrally cleared interest rate swaps is characterized as settlement of the derivative itself rather than collateral. Our derivative asset of $9.0 million as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: asset of $939,000) related to centrally cleared interest rate swaps is not included in the table below as a result of this characterization of daily variation margin.

(1)Cash collateral pledged by us on our derivatives was $125.9 million as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $121.7 million) of which $124.7 million relates to initial margin pledged on centrally cleared interest rate swaps (December 31, 2023: $121.7 million). Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are excluded from the tables above. We held no cash collateral on our derivatives as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

(2)The fair value of securities pledged against our borrowings under repurchase agreements was $4.5 billion as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $4.7 billion). We held no cash collateral under repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $2.5 million). Gross amounts not offset are limited to the net amount of repurchase agreement liabilities presented sufficient to reduce the net amount to zero for each counterparty. Accordingly, cash collateral held under repurchase agreements is not shown in the table above, but the obligation to return the cash collateral is separately reported within collateral held payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 10 –Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A three-level valuation hierarchy exists for disclosure of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

(3)Our investment in an unconsolidated venture was valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient and was not subject to redemption, although investors could sell or transfer their interest at the approval of the general partner of the underlying funds. The unconsolidated venture made its final distribution in the first quarter of 2024.

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The estimated fair value of repurchase agreements is a Level 3 fair value measurement based on an expected present value technique. This method discounts future estimated cash flows using rates we determined best reflect current market interest rates that would be offered for repurchase agreements with similar characteristics and credit quality.

Note 11 –Related Party Transactions

Our Manager is at all times subject to the supervision and oversight of our board of directors and has only such functions and authority as we delegate to it. Under the terms of our management agreement, our Manager and its affiliates provide us with our management team, including our officers and appropriate support personnel. Each of our officers is an employee of our Manager or one of its affiliates. We do not have any employees.

Management Fee

We pay our Manager a fee equal to 1.50% of our stockholders' equity per annum.

Stockholders' equity may exclude one-time events due to changes in U.S. GAAP and certain non-cash items upon approval by a majority of our independent directors.

We do not pay any management fees on our investments in unconsolidated ventures that are managed by an affiliate of our Manager.

Expense Reimbursement

We are required to reimburse our Manager for operating expenses incurred on our behalf, including directors and officers insurance, accounting services, auditing and tax services, legal services, filing fees, and miscellaneous general and administrative costs.
