The majority of the Company’s MBS are pledged as collateral for the Company’s repurchase agreements, which are disclosed in Note 4. Actual maturities of MBS are affected by the contractual lives of the underlying mortgage collateral, scheduled payments, and unscheduled prepayments of principal, and the payment priority structure of the security; therefore, actual maturities are generally shorter than the securities' stated contractual maturities.

The unrealized loss positions on the Company’s MBS designated as AFS as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were the result of higher interest rates and wider spreads to U.S. Treasuries compared to at the time of purchase. The unrealized loss positions are not credit related; therefore, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The Company has the ability and intent to hold any MBS with an unrealized loss until the recovery in its value. This assessment is based on the amount of the unrealized loss and significance of the related investment as well as the Company’s leverage and liquidity position. In addition, for its non-Agency MBS, which are not guaranteed by a GSE, the Company reviews the credit ratings, the credit characteristics of the mortgage loans collateralizing these securities, and the estimated future cash flows including projected collateral losses.
