ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT INC

Our primary financing sources are repurchase agreements provided through counterparty arrangements and through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcola Securities, Inc. (“Arcola”), other secured financing, debt issued by securitization vehicles, mortgages, credit facilities, note sales and various forms of equity. We maintain excess liquidity by holding unencumbered liquid assets that could be either used to collateralize additional borrowings or sold.

We seek to conservatively manage our repurchase agreement funding position through a variety of methods including diversity, breadth and depth of counterparties and maintaining a staggered maturity profile.

Arcola provides direct access to third party funding as a FINRA member broker-dealer. Arcola borrows funds through the General Collateral Finance Repo service offered by the FICC, with FICC acting as the central counterparty. In addition, Arcola may borrow funds through direct repurchase agreements.

To reduce our liquidity risk we maintain a laddered approach to our repurchase agreements. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted average days to maturity was 43 days and 44 days, respectively.

Our repurchase agreements generally provide that in the event of a margin call we must provide additional securities or cash on the same business day that a margin call is made. Should prepayment speeds on the mortgages underlying our Agency and Residential mortgage-backed securities and/or market interest rates or other factors move suddenly and cause declines in the market value of assets posted as collateral, resulting margin calls may cause an adverse change in our liquidity position. We have continued to diversify our financing profile adding new non-mark-to-market facilities and financing options under existing facilities for our Residential Credit operating segment. The non-mark-to-market facilities have margin call features that adjust on factors other than the changes in the market value of pledged collateral. We remain active and flexible in our liquidity structure to market developments.

At March 31, 2024, we had total financial assets and cash pledged against existing liabilities of $63.8 billion. The weighted average haircut was approximately 4% on repurchase agreements. The quality and character of the Residential Securities that we pledge as collateral under the repurchase agreements and interest rate swaps did not materially change at March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, and our counterparties did not materially alter any requirements, including required haircuts, related to the collateral we pledge under repurchase agreements and interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The following table presents our quarterly average and quarter-end repurchase agreement and reverse repurchase agreement balances outstanding for the periods presented:

Our committed facility warehouse lines provide financing for our MSR portfolio for liquidity purposes. We maintain a conservative approach to these facilities, generally over-collateralizing the lines against margin calls.

The following table provides information on our repurchase agreements and other secured financing by maturity date at March 31, 2024. The weighted average remaining maturity on our repurchase agreements and other secured financing was 48 days at March 31, 2024:

We also finance our investments in residential mortgage loans through the issuance of securitization transactions sponsored by our wholly-owned subsidiary Onslow Bay Financial LLC (“Onslow Bay”) under the Onslow Bay private-label securitization program. In order to increase financing optionality for our Onslow Bay platform we closed a new warehouse facility that includes expanded product offerings with a non-mark-to-market component for residential whole loans and a new non-mark-to-market two-year facility for OBX retained securities.
