TWO Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Strong Performance from Normalization of Implied Volatility and Spread Stability

NEW YORK, October 27, 2025 - 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, 2025.

Quarterly Summary
Reported book value of $11.04 per common share, and declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.34 per share, representing a (6.3)% quarterly economic return on book value. For the first nine months of 2025, generated a (15.6)% total economic return on book value.(1)
Incurred a comprehensive loss of $(80.2) million, or $(0.77) per weighted average basic common share.
Entered into a settlement agreement, dated as of August 20, 2025, with the company’s former external manager to resolve all claims alleged in previously disclosed lawsuits between the parties, and recorded litigation settlement expense of $175.1 million, or $1.68 per weighted average basic common share, for the third quarter.(2)
Excluding the litigation settlement expense, during the quarter the company:
Generated a 7.6% quarterly economic return on book value. For the first nine months of 2025, generated a 9.3% total economic return on book value.(1)
Generated comprehensive income of $94.9 million, or $0.91 per weighted average basic common share.
Settled $698.2 million in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSR through flow-sale acquisitions and recapture.
Successfully boarded a new subservicing client, seeded by the sale of approximately $30 billion UPB of MSR on a servicing-retained basis, $19.1 billion of which settled in the quarter.
As of September 30, 2025, MSR portfolio had a weighted average gross coupon rate of 3.58% and a 60+ day delinquency rate of 0.87%, compared to 0.82% as of June 30, 2025. For the third quarter of 2025, MSR portfolio experienced a 3-month CPR of 6.0%, compared to 5.8% for the second quarter of 2025.
Funded $49.8 million UPB in loans and brokered an additional $60.1 million UPB in second lien loans.

“Excluding the litigation settlement expense, we had a strong quarter of performance, generating an adjusted total economic return of 7.6%,” said Bill Greenberg, TWO’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also significantly increased our subservicing business at RoundPoint, selling a total of $30 billion UPB of MSR on a retained basis to a new subservicing client. We are also encouraged by the robust growth in our direct-to-consumer originations platform and emerging effectiveness of our recapture effort. Looking ahead, we now have a clean slate to capitalize on opportunities in the MSR and RMBS, and to further drive growth in our servicing and originations businesses.”

________________
(1)Economic return on book value is defined as the increase (decrease) in common book value from the beginning to the end of the given period, plus dividends declared to common stockholders in the period, divided by common book value as of the beginning of the period.
(2)The $175.1 million litigation settlement expense recorded for the third quarter is the difference between the $375.0 million cash payment made to pursuant to the settlement agreement with the company’s former external manager, less the related loss contingency accrual recorded in the second quarter of $199.9 million.

“Prospective returns on our core strategy of low rate MSR paired with Agency RMBS remain attractive, despite recent spread tightening,” stated Nick Letica, TWO’s Chief Investment Officer. “Looking ahead, in an environment with diminished interest rate and spread volatility and a high likelihood of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, we are confident that our portfolio construction of MSR paired with Agency RMBS should generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.”

_____________
(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 litigation with its former external manager.
(5)EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive loss 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, certain operating expenses and litigation settlement expense. 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.
