Management Update "Recent interest rate market activity is falling in line with moderating inflation and an expected slowing of the economy, as evidenced by a 29 basis point decline in the 2-year Treasury yield from its second quarter peak. In anticipation of these events, we continued our capital rotation plan to divest from lower current yield portfolio assets while simultaneously utilizing excess liquidity to raise Company recurring income. This resulted in second quarter Adjusted Interest Income of $84 million, a 63% increase from the same period in 2023. With potential excess liquidity of $424 million, or 42% of NYMT’s market capitalization at the end of the second quarter, we are focused on meaningfully raising current income in subsequent quarters. We are excited about the opportunity for continued portfolio growth while also optimizing expenses over the second half of 2024. We seek to maintain flexibility by remaining short duration in credit assets and liquid in Agency RMBS to capture investment opportunities if a distressed market environment materializes. We believe that the flexibility provided by our excess liquidity and portfolio composition in shifting market conditions will be vital to Company outperformance over the coming years." — Jason Serrano, Chief Executive Officer To Our Stockholders 3

2024 Focus Utilize a Strong and Flexible Balance Sheet to Capture Long-Term Value: • Maximize liquidity with low-cost operating structure to afford a patient investment approach. • Continue with increased exposure to principal- protected, highly liquid assets to offset credit portfolio run-off and to capture opportunities if the economy slows. • Invest through the strength of our asset management platform to unlock value. The Company is focused on opportunities in a market undergoing a structural landscape change. Balance sheet growth is expected to continue with Agency RMBS securities and short-term bridge loans. In this new environment, success may be achieved through organic creation of liquidity, tactical asset management, and prudent liability management. 23

Appendix 36

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Net Interest Income and Net Interest Spread In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this supplemental presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted interest income, adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest income (loss), yield on average interest earning assets, average financing cost, net interest spread, undepreciated (loss) earnings and adjusted book value per common share. Our management team believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered with our GAAP financial statements, provide supplemental information useful for investors as it enables them to evaluate our current performance and trends using the metrics that management uses to operate our business. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies, who may use different calculations. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this supplemental presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. Financial results for the Company during a given period include the net interest income earned on our investment portfolio of residential loans, RMBS, CMBS, ABS and preferred equity investments and mezzanine loans, where the risks and payment characteristics are equivalent to and accounted for as loans (collectively, our “interest earning assets”). Adjusted net interest income (loss) and net interest spread (both supplemental non-GAAP financial measures) are impacted by factors such as our cost of financing, including our hedging costs, and the interest rate that our investments bear. Furthermore, the amount of premium or discount paid on purchased investments and the prepayment rates on investments will impact adjusted net interest income (loss) as such factors will be amortized over the expected term of such investments. We provide the following non-GAAP financial measures, in total and by investment category, for the respective periods: • Adjusted Interest Income – calculated as our GAAP interest income reduced by the interest expense recognized on Consolidated SLST CDOs, • Adjusted Interest Expense – calculated as our GAAP interest expense reduced by the interest expense recognized on Consolidated SLST CDOs and adjusted to include the net interest component of interest rate swaps, • Adjusted Net Interest Income (Loss) – calculated by subtracting Adjusted Interest Expense from Adjusted Interest Income, • Yield on Average Interest Earning Assets – calculated as the quotient of our Adjusted Interest Income and our average interest earning assets and excludes all Consolidated SLST assets other than those securities owned by the Company, • Average Financing Cost – calculated as the quotient of our Adjusted Interest Expense and the average outstanding balance of our interest bearing liabilities, excluding Consolidated SLST CDOs and mortgages payable on real estate, and • Net Interest Spread – calculated as the difference between our Yield on Average Interest Earning Assets and our Average Financing Cost. These measures remove the impact of Consolidated SLST that we consolidate in accordance with GAAP and include the net interest component of interest rate swaps utilized to hedge the variable cash flows associated with our variable-rate borrowings, which is included in gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. With respect to Consolidated SLST, we only include the interest income earned by the Consolidated SLST securities that are actually owned by the Company as the Company only receives income or absorbs losses related to the Consolidated SLST securities actually owned by the Company. We include the net interest component of interest rate swaps in these measures to more fully represent the cost of our financing strategy. We provide the non-GAAP financial measures listed above because we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with additional detail and enhance their understanding of our interest earning asset yields, in total and by investment category, relative to the cost of our financing and the underlying trends within our portfolio of interest earning assets. In addition to the foregoing, our management team uses these measures to assess, among other things, the performance of our interest earning assets in total and by asset, possible cash flows from our interest earning assets in total and by asset, our ability to finance or borrow against the asset and the terms of such financing and the composition of our portfolio of interest earning assets, including acquisition and disposition determinations. The following slides present reconciliations of GAAP interest income to Adjusted Interest Income, GAAP interest expense to Adjusted Interest Expense and GAAP net interest income (loss) to Adjusted Net Interest Income (Loss) for our single-family and corporate/other portfolios and the Company for the periods indicated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Undepreciated (Loss) Earnings Undepreciated (Loss) Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure defined as GAAP net (loss) income attributable to Company's common stockholders excluding the Company's share in depreciation expense and lease intangible amortization expense, if any, related to operating real estate, net, for which an impairment has not been recognized. By excluding these non-cash adjustments from our operating results, we believe that the presentation of Undepreciated (Loss) Earnings provides a consistent measure of our operating performance and useful information to investors to evaluate the effective net return on our portfolio.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Book Value Per Common Share Adjusted book value per common share is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure calculated by making the following adjustments to GAAP book value: (i) exclude the Company's share of cumulative depreciation and lease intangible amortization expenses related to real estate held at the end of the period for which an impairment has not been recognized, (ii) exclude the cumulative adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interests to estimated redemption value and (iii) adjust our amortized cost liabilities that finance our investment portfolio to fair value. Our rental property portfolio includes fee simple interests in single-family rental homes and joint venture equity interests in multi-family properties owned by Consolidated Real Estate VIEs. By excluding our share of cumulative non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses related to real estate held at the end of the period for which an impairment has not been recognized, adjusted book value reflects the value, at their undepreciated basis, of our single-family rental properties and joint venture equity investments that the Company has determined to be recoverable at the end of the period. Additionally, in connection with third party ownership of certain of the non-controlling interests in certain of the Consolidated Real Estate VIEs, we record redeemable non-controlling interests as mezzanine equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The holders of the redeemable non-controlling interests may elect to sell their ownership interests to us at fair value once a year, subject to annual minimum and maximum amount limitations, resulting in an adjustment of the redeemable non-controlling interests to fair value that is accounted for by us as an equity transaction in accordance with GAAP. A key component of the estimation of fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests is the estimated fair value of the multi-family apartment properties held by the applicable Consolidated Real Estate VIEs. However, because the corresponding real estate assets are not reported at fair value and thus not adjusted to reflect unrealized gains or losses in our condensed consolidated financial statements, the cumulative adjustment of the redeemable non-controlling interests to fair value directly affects our GAAP book value. By excluding the cumulative adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interests to estimated redemption value, Adjusted Book Value more closely aligns the accounting treatment applied to these real estate assets and reflects our joint venture equity investment at its undepreciated basis. The substantial majority of our remaining assets are financial or similar instruments that are carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value option in our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, unlike our use of the fair value option for the assets in our investment portfolio, certain CDOs issued by our residential loan securitizations, certain senior unsecured notes and subordinated debentures that finance our investment portfolio assets are carried at amortized cost in our condensed consolidated financial statements. By adjusting these financing instruments to fair value, Adjusted Book Value reflects the Company's net equity in investments on a comparable fair value basis. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Book Value per common share provides a useful measure for investors and us as it provides a consistent measure of our value, allows management to effectively consider our financial position and facilitates the comparison of our financial performance to that of our peers. The following slide presents a reconciliation of GAAP book value to Adjusted Book Value and calculation of Adjusted Book Value per common share as of the dates indicated.
