Two Harbors Investment Corp. Reports First Quarter2020 Financial Results

Took Decisive Action in Unprecedented Market Conditions Stemming from COVID-19 Pandemic

NEW YORK, May 6, 2020 - Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), a leading mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), mortgage servicing rights (MSR) and other financial assets, today announced its financial results for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2020.

Quarterly Summary

• Experienced unprecedented market conditions stemming from the global COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we took decisive action to reduce portfolio risk and amass a strong defensive liquidity position.

• Sold substantially all of our non-Agency securities, eliminating the risk of continued outsized margin calls and ongoing funding concerns associated with the significant spread widening on these assets.

• Focused on the safety and well-being of our people by implementing mandatory work-from-home measures across all three of our offices.

• Reported book value of $6.96 per common share.

• Incurred a Comprehensive Loss of $(2.1) billion, or $(7.63) per weighted average basic common share, representing an annualized return on average common equity of (225.2)%.

• Reported Core Earnings of $67.6 million, or $0.25 per weighted average basic common share.⁽¹⁾ 

Post Quarter-End Business Update

• Announced non-renewal of management agreement and transition to self-management effective September 19, 2020. Expect benefits to stockholders to include: (1) substantial annual cost savings of approximately $42 million or $0.15 per common share; (2) further alignment of interests of management and stockholders; (3) enhanced returns on any future capital growth; and (4) potential for attracting new institutional investors.

• In advanced discussions with two major banks regarding servicing advance facilities, which are expected to be finalized in the next 30-60 days, subject to customary closing conditions and GSE approvals.

• Paid interim dividend of $0.05 per common share and all first quarter preferred dividends; will continue to evaluate our quarterly dividends based on evolving market conditions.

“The global COVID-19 health pandemic led to unprecedented market conditions in the first quarter. As a result, we focused on raising our excess liquidity and de-risking our portfolio,” stated Thomas Siering, Two Harbors’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, we made every margin call and at March 31^st had a strong liquidity position with $1.2 billion in unrestricted cash. Going forward, while we can’t predict how this global pandemic will play out, we are making every effort to best position our company for events outside of our control. Despite all of the uncertainty, we believe that we can withstand future volatility and ultimately, on the other side of this crisis, once again drive long-term stockholder value.”

(1) Core Earnings is a non-GAAP measure. Please see page 11 for a definition of Core Earnings and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

(1) Please see page 11 for a definition of Core Earnings and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

(2) Dividend yield is calculated based on annualizing the dividends declared in the given period, divided by the closing share price as of the end of the period.

(3) Return on book value is defined as the increase (decrease) in book value per common share from the beginning to the end of the given period, plus dividends declared in the period, divided by the book value as of the beginning of the period.

(4) Excludes non-cash equity compensation expense of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.

“In March, the COVID-19 pandemic had a swift and dramatic effect on volatility, leading to unprecedented spread widening across many asset classes,” stated Matt Koeppen, Two Harbors’ Co-Chief Investment Officer. “In response to this crisis, we de-levered, reduced risk and raised excess cash. We sold Agency RMBS, both specified pools and TBAs.  We also sold substantially all of our non-Agency portfolio, eliminating the risks of continued outsized margin calls and ongoing funding concerns associated with the significant spread widening on these assets. As a result of these decisive actions, we are strongly positioned from a liquidity perspective to manage upcoming cash requirements.”

“Looking forward, and notwithstanding near-term challenges, we currently believe that the opportunity set in our target assets of Agency RMBS paired with MSR is very attractive,” continued Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ Co-Chief Investment Officer. “The MSR asset is where were are seeing the most interesting opportunities.  We estimate that newly originated MSR returns on a forward basis are 25% or higher, when paired with Agency RMBS.  We believe that given the maturity of our MSR business, we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of that attractive opportunity on an ongoing basis.”

As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the company experienced unprecedented market conditions during quarter ended March 31, 2020, including unusually significant spread widening in both Agency RMBS and non-Agency securities. In response, the company focused its efforts on raising excess liquidity and de-risking its portfolio. On March 25, 2020, the company sold substantially all of its non-Agency securities in order to eliminate the risks posed by continued outsized margin calls and ongoing funding concerns associated with the significant spread widening on these assets. The company also sold approximately one-third of its Agency RMBS in order to reduce risk and raise cash to establish a strong defensive liquidity position to weather potential ongoing economic and market instability.

_____________

(1) Core Earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, excluding “realized and unrealized gains and losses” (impairment losses, provision for credit losses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate portfolio, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock and other nonrecurring expenses). As defined, Core Earnings includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR, management fees and recurring cash related operating expenses. Dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. Core Earnings provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers.

________________

(1) Amortization refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio. This amortization has been deducted from Core Earnings. Amortization of MSR is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value.

As defined, Core Earnings includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR, management fees and recurring cash related operating expenses. Dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements.
