Overall Performance Driven by Spread Widening

Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), an Agency + MSR mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Quarterly Summary

  • Reported book value of $5.87 per common share, representing a (5.6)% quarterly return on book value(1)
  • Generated Comprehensive Loss of $128.6 million, representing an annualized return on average common equity of (24.7)%
  • Reported Earnings Available for Distribution (EAD) of $73.3 million, or $0.22 per weighted average basic common share(2)
  • Declared a fourth quarter common stock dividend of $0.17 per share
  • Continued strength in mortgage servicing rights (MSR) flow sale program, which offset impact of fast prepayment speeds

Annual Summary

  • Returned total dividends of $0.68 per common share, equivalent to an average dividend yield of 10%(3)
  • Reported book value of $5.87 per common share compared to $7.63 at December 31, 2020, representing a (14.2)% return on book value
  • Acquired $88.3 billion unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSR through flow and bulk channels
  • Optimized liability and capital structure
    • Issued $287.5 million principal amount of 5-year convertible senior notes due 2026. Repurchased and retired $144 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2022
    • Redeemed $75 million Series D and $200 million Series E preferred shares

  • Expect to settle on additional commitments of $22 billion UPB of MSR through bulk transactions in the first quarter of 2022
  • Redeemed $144 million of convertible notes that matured in January 2022

“Our portfolio performance was impacted by spread widening and higher volatility during the fourth quarter. While the investment environment for RMBS was challenging, we capitalized on opportunities to purchase MSR at attractive levels.” stated Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. “With the Federal Reserve firmly on the path of quantitative tightening, we are well-positioned to deploy capital into a more constructive investing environment and are optimistic about the forward outlook for Two Harbors and our paired Agency + MSR strategy.”

_____________

EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, excluding “realized and unrealized gains and losses” (provision for (reversal of) credit losses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate portfolio, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock, other nonrecurring expenses and restructuring charges). 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 recurring cash related operating expenses. Dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. 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. 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.

________________

(1)

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. This amortization has been deducted from Earnings Available for Distribution. Amortization of MSR is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value.

(2)

Earnings Available for Distribution, or EAD, is a non-GAAP measure. Please see page 11 for a definition of Earnings Available for Distribution and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

(3)

EAD includes U.S. Treasury futures income of $0.01 per basic common share for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and $0.03 per basic common share for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Had U.S. Treasury futures income been included for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, EAD would have been $0.02 higher, or $0.21 per basic common share, and $0.01 higher, or $0.18 per basic common share, respectively. U.S. Treasury futures income was de minimis in prior quarters.
