ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for today at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time/9:00 a.m. Pacific Time

Pasadena, CA, May 8, 2014 — Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation (NYSE: WMC) today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. These results reflect the strategic decision by the Company to diversify its portfolio away from a pure Agency REIT and move toward a more “hybrid” REIT model.  Actions taken by the Company in order to implement this strategy had a negative impact on both operating results for the period and book value as of March 31, 2014.  The Company, which previously declared a $0.67 per share dividend for the quarter, recorded a GAAP net loss of $8.4 million, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. Core earnings for the period were $12.4 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted share(1). Core earnings plus drop income for the first quarter was $15.2 million, or $0.56 per basic and diluted share(1),(2). This amount is inclusive of estimated “catch-up” premium amortization for the period of $1.4 million or ($0.05) per basic and diluted share(3).  The Company also reported a net book value of $14.19 per share as of March 31, 2014(4), but estimated that its book value as of May 5, 2014 was between $14.92 and $15.02 per share(5).

COMMON STOCK OFFERING AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On April 9, 2014, the Company closed an offering of 13,000,000 shares of its common stock sold to the public and a concurrent private placement of 650,000 shares of its common stock sold to its external manager Western Asset Management Company.  The combined net proceeds from the public offering and the private placement were approximately $200.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.  The net proceeds of the offering were received and fully invested on April 9, 2014.

On May 2, 2014, underwriters from the April stock offering notified the Company that they had elected to exercise a portion of their overallotment option and purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock from the Company providing the Company with incremental proceeds of approximately $14.7 million.  Such proceeds were received and fully invested yesterday, May 7, 2014.

The offering was overall accretive, on a book value basis, to existing shareholders and increased the market capitalization of the Company by approximately 50%.  Given the capital raise and the percentage change in its capitalization, the Company believes that in this particular instance it is important and appropriate to provide additional information

(1)   Non — GAAP measure.

(2)   Drop income is income derived from the use of ‘to-be-announced’ forward contract (“TBA”) dollar roll transactions and is a component of our gain (loss) on derivative instruments on our statement of operations, and is not included in core earnings.

(3)  Estimated “catch-up” premium amortization results primarily from the quarterly adjustments in projected constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) estimates for our MBS portfolio and the retrospective application of such adjustments to certain of our MBS securities, consisting almost entirely of our Agency RMBS whole pools.

(4)   March 31, 2014 book value per share reflects the $0.67 per share dividend declared on March 20, 2014.

(5) Estimated book value per share as of May 5, 2014, is unaudited and does not reflect any potential adjustment associated with “catch-up” premium amortization. The estimated book value has not been reviewed or verified by any third party and may fluctuate based on current market conditions, the Company’s operations and other factors. The Company’s actual book value, as of the date of this release, may have changed since the estimate provided as of May 5, 2014.

(6)  7.4x leverage calculation does not reflect net To-Be Announced (“TBA”) mortgage pass-through certificates position. As of March 31, 2014, the net long position in TBAs was $300 million in notional value.

regarding its estimated current book value.  As of May 5, 2014, the Company estimated that its book value was between $14.92 and $15.02 per share.  This estimated book value is unaudited and has not been reviewed or verified by any third party.  The estimated book value does not reflect the use of proceeds associated with the 1,000,000 shares sold as part of the overallotment allocation nor any potential adjustment associated with “catch-up” premium amortization.  Book value will fluctuate with market conditions, the results of the Company’s operations and other factors, and the Company’s book value as of the date of this release may be different from the estimate provided as of May 5, 2014.

FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $8.4 million, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share. This compares to net income of $20.8 million, or $0.83 per basic and diluted share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013. After adjusting for the additional shares issued as a result of the stock portion of the dividend declared on December 19, 2013 and paid on January 28, 2014,  net income  would have been $0.76 per basic and diluted share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company generated core earnings plus drop income of $15.2 million, or $0.56 per basic and diluted share.  This amount is inclusive of $1.4 million of estimated “catch-up” premium amortization or ($0.05) per basic and diluted share. This compares to core earnings plus drop income of $18.6 million, or $0.76 per basic and diluted share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, inclusive of $0.3 million of estimated “catch-up” premium amortization or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share. After adjusting for the additional shares issued as a result of the stock portion of the dividend declared on December 19, 2013 and paid on January 28, 2014,  core earnings plus drop income would have been $0.69 per basic and diluted share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013. Core earnings represents a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income (loss) excluding: (i) net realized gain (loss) on investments and derivative contracts; (ii) net unrealized gain (loss) on investments; (iii) loss resulting from mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts; (iv) other loss on MBS; (v) non-cash stock-based compensation expense; and (vi) certain other non-cash charges. Drop income represents a non-GAAP financial measure and is derived from the use of ‘to-be-announced’ forward contract (“TBA”) dollar roll transactions and is defined as the difference between the spot price and the forward settlement price for a comparable security on the trade date. Estimated “catch-up” premium amortization cost is due to quarterly adjustments in projected constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) estimates for certain securities in our MBS portfolio.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, average amortized cost of MBS held, including Agency and Non-Agency Interest-Only Strips accounted for as derivatives and linked transactions, was $3.09 billion, as compared to $3.47 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s weighted average yield on its portfolio was 3.57%, including Agency and Non-Agency MBS, interest from Interest-Only securities accounted for as derivatives and linked transactions that occurred during

the quarter. The Company’s effective cost of funds on its Agency and Non-Agency MBS financing (including the cost of interest rate swaps and linked transactions) was 1.77%. The annualized net interest spread on its portfolio was 1.80%, including Agency and Non-Agency MBS, interest from Interest-Only securities accounted for as derivatives and linked transactions, and taking into account the cost of the interest rate swaps. This compares with a weighted average yield of 3.61%, an effective cost of funds of 1.46%, and an annualized net interest spread of 2.15% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

The actual constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) for the Company’s Agency RMBS portfolio during the first quarter was 3.8% on an annualized basis, as compared to 5.0% for the fourth quarter of 2013.

COMMENTARY

“During the first quarter of 2014, our efforts to increase our exposure to Non-Agency RMBS and CMBS and increase income derived from the use of TBA dollar roll transactions resulted in a smaller overall portfolio and a lower effective net interest spread as compared to the December 2013 quarter, thereby impacting our core earnings,” said Gavin James, Chief Executive Officer of Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation. “In addition, our book value per share during the first quarter was impacted by unrealized losses on our interest rate hedges as rates moved towards the low end of our expected range.”

“Shortly after the first quarter ended, we successfully completed our second follow-on stock offering, raising approximately $200.0 million, including approximately $10.0 million in a concurrent private placement from our external manager Western Asset Management Company and exclusive of the  partial exercise of the overallotment allocation.  The proceeds were invested immediately in a diversified selection of assets across the mortgage spectrum, which is a testament to Western Asset’s strong and resourceful fixed income investment platform.  We also continue to have access to repo counterparties well in excess of our current needs, which significantly mitigates funding risk for WMC going forward.  Further, we estimate that at May 5, 2014 our book value had increased to between $14.92 and $15.02,” said Mr. James.

Anup Agarwal, Chief Investment Officer of Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation, commented, “We are optimistic about the impact that diversifying our portfolio away from a pure Agency REIT and into more of a hybrid REIT model will have on our ability to generate attractive core earnings. We have increased our leverage to approximately eight times as we believe that there are currently opportunities to generate leveraged ROE at relatively attractive levels on new capital invested in a variety of Non-Agency assets, including residential and commercial real estate whole loans and asset-backed securities.  With the increase in our portfolio size, our lower expense ratio and the diversification of our portfolio, we believe that we are well positioned to generate attractive core earnings, supplemented by drop income from our TBA positions, while reducing the overall volatility of our book value per share.”

DIVIDEND

On March 20, 2014, the Company declared a regular cash dividend of $0.67 per share for each common share.  Since inception in May of 2012, WMC has declared and paid total dividends of $8.12 per share in a combination of cash and stock.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned an aggregate securities portfolio equaling $3.26 billion in market value, comprised of $1.71 billion of 30-year fixed-rate Agency RMBS (residential mortgage-backed securities for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or sponsored entity), $815.0 million of 20-year fixed-rate Agency RMBS, $434.8 million of Non-Agency RMBS (including $15.7 million of linked transactions and $20.0 million of interest-only and inverse interest-only strips), $25.3 million of Agency and Non-Agency CMBS (commercial mortgage-backed securities),  $94.1 million of Agency RMBS interest-only and $74.1 million of Agency RMBS inverse interest-only strips, and $68.5 million of Agency and Non-Agency MBS interest-only and $41.8 million Agency and Non-Agency MBS inverse interest-only strips accounted for as derivatives.
