NOTE: Projections of change in real gross domestic product (GDP) and projections for both measures of inflation are percent changes from the fourth quarter of the previous year to the fourth quarter of the year indicated. PCE inflation and core PCE inflation are the percentage rates of change in, respectively, the price index for personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and the price index for PCE excluding food and energy. Projections for the unemployment rate are for the average civilian unemployment rate in the fourth quarter of the year indicated. Each participant’s projections are based on his or her assessment of appropriate monetary policy. Longer-run projections represent each participant’s assessment of the rate to which each variable would be expected to converge under appropriate monetary policy and in the absence of Further shocks to the economy. The December projections were made in conjunction with the meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee on December 16-17, 2014.
1. The central tendency excludes the three highest and three lowest projections for each variable in each year.
2. The range for a variable in a given year includes all participants’ projections, from lowest to highest, for that variable in that year.
3. Longer-run projections for core PCE inflation are not collected.

CYS Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasury Portfolio Characteristics*
* As of 3/31/15
(1) To-be-announced (“TBA”) securities are excluded from this calculation as they do not have a defined weighted-average loan
balance or age until mortgages have been assigned to the pool.
(2) Constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) represents the 3-month CPR of the Company’s Agency RMBS held at March 31, 2015. The CPR
experienced by the Company’s Agency RMBS during the period may differ. Securities with no prepayment history are excluded from
this calculation.
(3) Duration measures the market price volatility of financial instruments as interest rates change, using Dollar Value of One Basis
Point, or “DV01”, methodology. We generally calculate duration using various third-party financial models and empirical data.
Different models and methodologies can produce different duration numbers for the same securities. Analytics provided by The
Yield Book® software.
(4) Represents the weighted-average coupon of Agency Hybrid ARMs.

1. The average settled Debt Securities is calculated by averaging the month end cost basis of settled Debt Securities during the period.
2. The average total Debt Securities is calculated by averaging the month end cost basis of total Debt Securities during the period.
3. The average repurchase agreements and FHLB advances are calculated by averaging the month end repurchase agreements and FHLB advances balances during the period.
4. The average Debt Securities liabilities are calculated by adding the average month end repurchase agreements and FHLB advances balances plus average unsettled Debt Securities during the period.
5. The average stockholders’ equity is calculated by averaging the month end stockholders’ equity during the period.
6. The average common shares outstanding are calculated by averaging the daily common shares outstanding during the period.
7. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing (i) the Company’s repurchase agreements and FHLB advances balances plus payable for securities purchased minus receivable for securities sold by (ii) stockholders’ equity.
8. The average yield on Debt Securities for the period is calculated by dividing total interest income by average settled Debt Securities.
9. The average yield on total Debt Securities including drop income for the period is calculated by dividing total interest income plus drop income by average total Debt Securities. Drop income was $14.1 million and $12.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Drop income is a component of our net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments on our consolidated statements of operations. rop
income is the difference between the spot price and the forward settlement price for the same security on trade date. This difference is also the economic equivalent of the assumed net interest margin (yield minus financing costs)
of the bond from trade date to settlement date. We derive drop income through utilization of forward settling transactions.
10. The average cost of funds for the period is calculated by dividing repurchase agreement and FHLB advances interest expense by average repurchase agreements and FHLB advances for the period.
11. The average cost of funds and hedge for the period is calculated by dividing interest expense by average repurchase agreements.
12. The adjusted average cost of funds and hedge for the period is calculated by dividing total interest expense by average total Debt Securities liabilities.
13. The interest rate spread net of hedge for the period is calculated by subtracting average cost of funds and hedge from average yield on settled Debt Securities.
14. The interest rate spread net of hedge including drop income for the period is calculated by subtracting adjusted average cost of funds and hedge from average yield on total Debt Securities including drop income.
15. The operating expense ratio for the period is calculated by dividing operating expenses by average stockholders’ equity. 22
16. Calculated by change in book value plus dividend distributions on common stock.
*All percentages are annualized except total stockholder return on common equity.
