Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including core earnings metrics, which are presented both inclusive and exclusive of the premium amortization adjustment (PAA). The Company believes its non-GAAP financial measures are useful for management, investors, analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance but should not be viewed in isolation and are not a substitute for financial measures computed in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company may calculate its non-GAAP metrics, which include core earnings and the PAA, differently than its peers making comparative analysis difficult. Please see the section entitled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” in the attached Appendix for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Safe Harbor Notice 2

Rationale for Common and Preferred Equity Offerings 9 Source: Bloomberg.Assumes MBS yield range of 3.0% - 3.1%, Fannie Mae 30 Year 4.0 coupon hedge costs based on a 1 year duration gap, 125 bps financing cost, and leverage range of 7.0x - 8.0x. Residential whole loans assume 200 – 250 bps spread, LIBOR + 10 bps funding cost and 4x leverage. The macro environment, including slow growth, benign inflation expectations and the onset of normalization across most central banks, contribute to an opportunistic investment backdrop for Annaly Macro Environment Annaly is well-positioned to capitalize on the significant market opportunity created through the unwind of the Fed’s balance sheet Fed Policy Current Agency MBS and residential whole loan levered returns of 10% - 12%(1) are attractive on a historical, absolute and relative basis compared to Annaly’s universe of 30 investment options Investment Returns Recent company developments and partnerships serve as positive catalysts and are evidence of Annaly’s numerous growth opportunities and industry leadership Strategic Growth Initiatives Continued outperformance and strong relative operating metrics have led to an increase in valuation, which we believe has potential for further upside as demonstrated by various valuation methodologies Outperformance & Attractive Valuation We believe that recent developments, both at Annaly and in the marketplace, have enhanced the value of raising capital Senior management has committed to increase their voluntary stock ownership over the next three years further signifying long-term alignment of shareholder interests Management Ownership
