Safe Harbor Statement Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and, consequently, readers should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “target,” “assume,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, higher than expected operating costs, changes in prepayment speeds of mortgages underlying our RMBS, the rates of default or decreased recovery on the mortgages underlying our non-Agency securities, failure to recover certain losses that are expected to be temporary, changes in interest rates or the availability of financing, the impact of new legislation or regulatory changes on our operations, the impact of any deficiencies in the servicing or foreclosure practices of third parties and related delays in the foreclosure process, the inability to acquire mortgage loans or securitize the mortgage loans we acquire, the impact of new or modified government mortgage refinance or principal reduction programs, and unanticipated changes in overall market and economic conditions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Two Harbors does not undertake or accept any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in Two Harbors’ most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written and oral forward looking statements concerning Two Harbors or matters attributable to Two Harbors or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. 1

2 2012 and Fourth Quarter Results  In 2012 we generated a return on book value of 47%1 with dividends of $1.71 per share, which was driven by an exceptional economic return of $1.05 billion.  We delivered a total annual shareholder return of 40%2, which compares to a return of 19% for the sector3.  In 2012 we made key hires on our investment and administrative teams.  We contributed our portfolio of single-family residential homes to Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. (“Silver Bay”) in conjunction with its initial public offering in December 2012. In exchange, Two Harbors received approximately 17.8 million shares of Silver Bay common stock.  Our Book Value increased to $11.544 per diluted common share at December 31, 2012, representing a total quarterly return of 6% when combined with our fourth quarter dividend of $0.55.

Hybrid Model Allows for Multi-Faceted Approach Expansion of Core Competency Set  We continue to pursue opportunities in the Agency and non-Agency markets.  Our criteria for considering new investments include the following: ― Based on core competencies, such as understanding and managing prepayments and credit risk ― Attractive return profiles ― Improve the risk-reward profile of our aggregate portfolio ― Expand expertise in existing strategies  Silver Bay is a great example of how we can leverage our core competencies to identify opportunities for shareholders: ― Provided attractive return profile for our shareholders ― Helped inform our non-Agency strategy 3

Book Value & Dividend History 5 (1) See Appendix, page 17 for calculation of 2012 return on book value. (2) Historical dividends may not be indicative of future dividend distributions. The company ultimately distributes dividends based on its taxable income per common share, not GAAP earnings. The annualized dividend yield on the company’s common stock is calculated based on the closing price of the last trading day of the quarter. Diluted shares outstanding at end of period, which includes the effect of dilutive outstanding warrants determined using the treasury stock method, are used as the denominator for book value per share calculation.  We delivered a total annual 2012 return on book value of 47%1.  During the fourth quarter 2012, our book value per share increased to $11.54, after paying a $0.55 dividend.  Our focus is on book value, which is critical to dividends over time.  Opportunistic capital allocation and security selection drives long-term alpha generation. $9.08 $9.38 $8.70 $9.24 $9.44 $9.90 $9.73 $9.30 $9.03 $9.67 $9.94 $11.44 $11.54 $0.26 $0.36 $0.33 $0.39 $0.40 $0.40 $0.40 $0.40 $0.40 $0.40 $0.40 $0.36 $0.55 $0.20 $0.30 $0.40 $0.50 $0.60 $6.00 $7.00 $8.00 $9.00 $10.00 $11.00 $12.00 4Q09 1Q10 2Q10 3Q10 4Q10 1Q11 2Q11 3Q11 4Q11 1Q12 2Q12 3Q12 4Q12 Divi d en d ( $) B o o k Val u e p er d il u te d Sha re ( $) Book Value Dividend Dividends and Book Value per diluted common share2 Strong Total Return Metrics in 2012
