TWO Two Harbors Investment Corporation

Mortgage Performance Drives Positive Quarterly Return with Stable MSR Spreads

TWO (Two Harbors Investment Corp., NYSE: TWO), an MSR-focused real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Quarterly Summary

• Reported book value of $14.93 per common share, and declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.45 per share, representing a 1.3% quarterly economic return on book value. For the first nine months of 2024, generated a 7.0% total economic return on book value.(1)
• Generated Comprehensive Income of $19.3 million, or $0.18 per weighted average basic common share.
• Settled $3.3 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSR through bulk and flow-sale acquisitions and recapture.
• Completed first full quarter of direct-to-consumer originations activities, funding $22.4 million UPB in first lien loans and brokering $7.5 million UPB in second lien loans.
• Post quarter-end, committed to purchase an additional $2.1 billion UPB of MSR through a bulk acquisition.

“With MSR at our core, we have built an investment portfolio with RMBS that has less exposure to changes in mortgage spreads than portfolios without MSR, while still preserving upside to decreasing volatility and spread tightening,” stated Bill Greenberg, TWO’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are intently focused on providing high-quality investment returns, and our combined strategy is designed to extract the most value that we can from our MSR asset for the benefit of our shareholders. We are thoughtfully augmenting our investment portfolio with additional revenue and hedging opportunities in order to further enhance a strategy that we expect will deliver attractive results for our shareholders through a variety of market environments.”

“Our portfolio benefited from the net performance of mortgages in the third quarter, but performance across the stack was uneven. We entered the quarter with an up-in-coupon bias, but as interest rates declined we shifted our TBA coupons lower, tracking the change in current coupon exposure coming from our MSR,” stated Nick Letica, TWO’s Chief Investment Officer. “MSR valuations remain well supported with strong demand as the supply of bulk sales continues to normalize from the record levels of the past few years. Nevertheless, we believe there will continue to be opportunities to add MSR at attractive levels, enhanced by our deep expertise coupled with the benefits of our in-house servicing and recapture operations.”

(1)

Unsecured convertible senior notes.

(2)

Defined as total borrowings to fund Agency and non-Agency investment securities, MSR and related servicing advances and mortgage loans held-for-sale, divided by total equity.

(3)

Defined as total borrowings to fund Agency and non-Agency investment securities, MSR and related servicing advances and mortgage loans held-for-sale, plus the implied debt on net TBA cost basis and net payable (receivable) for unsettled RMBS, divided by total equity.

(4)

Excludes any repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasuries.

(5)

Includes amortization of debt issuance costs.

(6)

The cost of financing on interest rate swaps held to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the company’s outstanding borrowings includes interest spread income/expense and amortization of upfront payments made or received upon entering into interest rate swap agreements and is calculated using average borrowings balance as the denominator.

(7)

The cost of financing on U.S. Treasury futures held to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the company’s outstanding borrowings is calculated using average borrowings balance as the denominator. U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements.

(8)

The implied financing benefit/cost of dollar roll income on TBAs is calculated using the average cost basis of TBAs as the denominator. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. TBAs are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP.

_____________

(1)

MSR amortization refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio, which is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value.

(2)

TBA dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements.

(3)

U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements.

(4)

Certain operating expenses predominantly consists of expenses incurred in connection with the company’s ongoing litigation with PRCM Advisers LLC. It also includes certain transaction expenses incurred/reversed in connection with the company’s acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC.

(5)

EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders, excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate investment portfolio, gains and losses on repurchases of preferred stock, provision for (reversal of) credit losses, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock and certain operating expenses. As defined, EAD includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, U.S. Treasury futures income, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR and certain cash related operating expenses. EAD provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers. EAD is one of several measures our board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on our common stock and should not be considered an indication of our taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends we may declare.
