First Quarter 2022 Investor Presentation May 5, 2022


 
We make forward-looking statements in this presentation that are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the Company's control. In particular, it is difficult to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally and the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. When we use the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "continue," "intend," "should," "may" or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking statements. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking: our business and investment strategy; our projected operating results; our ability to obtain financing arrangements; financing and advance rates for mortgage loans, MBS and our potential target assets; our expected leverage; general volatility of the securities markets in which we invest and the market price of our common stock; our expected investments; interest rate mismatches between mortgage loans, MBS and our potential target assets and our borrowings used to fund such investments; changes in interest rates and the market value of MBS and our potential target assets; changes in prepayment rates on mortgage loans, Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS; effects of hedging instruments on MBS and our potential target assets; rates of default or decreased recovery rates on our potential target assets; the degree to which any hedging strategies may or may not protect us from interest rate volatility; impact of and changes in governmental regulations, tax law and rates, accounting guidance and similar matters; our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT; our ability to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; availability of investment opportunities in mortgage-related, real estate-related and other securities; availability of qualified personnel; estimates relating to our ability to make distributions to our stockholders in the future; our understanding of our competition; and the uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. Some of these factors are described in our filings with the SEC under the headings "Summary," "Risk factors," "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" and "Business." If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview of Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation


 
Our Manager's 2022 Outlook Russia-Ukraine conflict poses significant geopolitical uncertainty • Elevates both inflation and economic growth risks. Inflation remains challenging but should ease substantially during 2022 Fixed-Income Outlook • Covid-19 continues to bedevil global populations. • U.S. and global growth are decelerating from high levels. • Federal Reserve monetary tightening will focus on making inflation a top priority. • Global fiscal stimulus will be sharply reduced. Investment Implications • Global growth has recently downshifted but should remain resilient, which continues to support the overweight of spread products. • The recovery of “reopening” sectors has been delayed, not derailed. • With the Federal reserve committed to tightening, risk asset volatility should increase. 4


 
Mortgage & Consumer Credit Outlook The post-Covid-19 reopening has been uneven across parts of the economy, geographically due to localized restrictions and caseloads, across demographics, and amongst different asset classes with certain segments of the economy operating well above and others well below the pre- Covid-19 economy. On top of the COVID uncertainties, geopolitical risks have arisen, broad based inflationary pressures have persisted, and the Federal Reserve’s policy accommodation is being actively reduced, tightening financial conditions. Structured product credit spreads have widened and remain at wider levels relative to pre-Covid-19, and currently are at their widest level over the past year in spite of the overall strength of the US economy due to the remaining uncertainties and unevenness of the recovery. Home price appreciation ("HPA") posted a year-over-year ("YoY") gain of 19.8%(*) as of April 2022. The housing market continues to be in a strong position, but one that is decelerating from the rapid home price appreciation that was seen during the peak COVID-19 demand surge. Fueling the housing boom of the post-Covid-19 world are historically low mortgage rates, a lack of housing supply on the market, tight lending conditions and a rebirth of household formations. After record breaking home price growth in 2021, prices are expected to rise through 2022 albeit at lower levels as record low supply is expected to normalize. Affordability will likely curb housing demand with rising mortgage rates, which has reduced our home price growth forecast down slightly for the year. Housing starts should continue to rise to meet the strong demand, and as supply-chain issues ease, construction can pick up to close to 1.5 million units. This will help to reduce the supply and demand imbalance. However, that means that mortgage origination volumes should again be strong in 2022 with net supply of agency mortgages anticipated to reach approximately $500 billion, which would be the second highest year on record after 2021’s $800 billion. Our Manager continues to see demand for non-QM lending opening up with additional lenders in the market with supply expected to be robust in 2022. Our Manager sees an attractive opportunity making highly unwritten, low loan-to-value loans to high quality borrowers in the non-QM market. The combination of better-than-expected fundamentals with attractive valuations suggests significant potential for the asset class to generate strong performance. Our Manager believes mortgage credit offers value backed by real assets that benefit from a rising inflation environment and can generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. Our Manager believes the strong total return potential and diversification benefits will provide value to investors.

6 • The single-family housing remains strong, in spite of tightening credit standards. • This housing boom is unlike the 2005-2007 period in that lending is highly constrained. • Less concern over leverage and severe housing correction this time around with significant homeowners equity. US Housing Market Lending Activity


 
7 • Residential real estate prices are expected to rise through 2022 albeit at lower levels compared to 2021, as record low supply normalizes. • 92% of borrowers have a 4% or lower interest rate. • Affordability will likely curb housing demand with rising mortgage rates. Housing Market Expected to Moderate


 
8 CMBS Delinquency • Recovery continues, office and retail improvement stagnates.


 
9 Investment Strategy Our investment strategy's primary goal is to generate attractive returns while preserving book value. We continue to find value in credit sensitive mortgages. Under current market conditions we expect to continue to focus investments in non-qualified residential mortgages and other mortgage credit that are accretive to portfolio earnings. Target Investments Residential Non-Qualified Mortgages ◦ Program initiated in 2014 ◦ No cumulative principal losses ◦ Strategic partnerships with seasoned originators ◦ Current target coupon in the low 6% range ◦ Average loan to value mid to high 60% at origination ◦ Non-recourse debt through securitization Other Mortgage Credit ◦ Assets with low leverage and strongly underwritten ◦ Residential securities ◦ Commercial loans and securities ◦ Yields between 4%-10% ◦ Favoring long-term financing utilizing structural leverage and low recourse leverage


 
Company Business Update The Company continues to execute on its investment strategy to focus on residential real estate related investments, and transition out of the commercial investments in its portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company completed the following transactions: • Acquired $119.1 million of Residential Whole Loan and $40.0 million of Non-Agency RMBS. • The Company and other investors sold the unencumbered hotel property they foreclosed on in 2021. The Company's share of the gain on sale of the property was approximately $8.7 million. To support the earnings potential of the Company and its transition to a residential focused investment portfolio, our Manager is voluntarily waiving 25% of its management fee solely for the calendar year 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company continued its efforts to strengthen its balance sheet through the following transactions: • Repurchased $3.4 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2022 at an approximate 0.8% premium to par value, plus accrued interest. • Completed its third securitization of $432.0 million of residential whole loans, securing $398.9 million of long-term fixed-rate financing. 10

We were receiving interest payments on this loan from a reserve that was exhausted in May 2021. We are currently in discussions with the borrower and certain other lenders regarding alternatives to address the situation which might include modifications of loan terms, deferral of payments and the funding of new advances. There can be no assurance that these discussions will result in an outcome in which we would be repaid any amount of the loan and we may suffer further declines in fair value with respect to the mezzanine investment. We could experience a total loss of our investment under various scenarios, which at current levels would result in a $27.1 million reduction in the Company’s book value.

27 (1) As of March 31, 2022. (2) Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by us to approximate cash yield or income associated with our portfolio and is defined as GAAP net income (loss) as adjusted, excluding, net realized gain (loss) on investments and termination of derivative contracts, net unrealized gain (loss) on investments and debt, net unrealized gain (loss) resulting from mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, provision for income taxes, non-cash stock- based compensation expense, non-cash amortization of the convertible senior unsecured notes discount, one-time charges such as acquisition costs and impairment on loans and one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges after discussions between us, our Manager and our Independent Directors and after approval by a majority of our independent directors. (3) Economic return, for any period, is calculated by taking the sum of (i) the total dividends declared and (ii) the change in net book value during the period and dividing by the beginning book value. (4) Non-GAAP measures which include interest income, interest expense, the cost of interest rate swaps and interest income on IOs and IIOs classified as derivatives, and are weighted averages for the period. Excludes the net income from the consolidation of VIE Trusts required under GAAP. (5) Economic book value is a non-GAAP financial measure of our financial position on an unconsolidated basis. The Company owns certain securities that represent a controlling variable interest, which under GAAP requires consolidation; however, the Company's economic exposure to these variable interests is limited to the fair value of the individual investments. Economic book value is calculated by taking the GAAP book value and 1) adding the fair value of the retained interest or acquired security of the VIEs held by the Company and 2) removing the asset and liabilities associated with each of consolidated trusts ( CSMC 2014 USA, Arroyo 2019-2, Arroyo 2020-1 and Arroyo 2022-1). Management considers that Economic book value provides investors with a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our financial position as it reflects the actual financial interest of these investments irrespective of the variable interest consolidation model applied for GAAP reporting purposes. Economic book value does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for Stockholders' Equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. (6) At March 31, 2022, the Company held an $11.0 million Non-Agency CMBS security which resulted in the consolidation of a variable interest entity. The Securitized Commercial loan value represents the estimate fair market value of collateral within the variable interest entity. (7) At March 31, 2022 Other Securities include GSE Credit Risk Transfer securities with an estimated fair value of $42.4 million and student loans ABS with a fair value of $6.7 million. (8) The subordinate notes were retained by the Company. (9) Non-GAAP measure which includes net interest margin (as defined in footnote 4) and realized and unrealized gains or losses in the portfolio. (10) Non-GAAP measure which includes interest income on IO's and IIO's accounted for as derivatives and other income. (11) Includes miscellaneous fees and interest on cash investments. (12) Non-GAAP measure which includes net unrealized losses on IO's and IIO's accounted for as derivatives. (13) The original FICO score is not available for 249 loans with a principal balance of approximately $83.2 million at March 31, 2022. The Company has excluded these loans from the weighted average computations. (14) Borrowings reported for Agency and Non-Agency RMBS investments include borrowings for Arroyo 2019-2 and Arroyo 2020-1. These are eliminated in consolidation. Footnotes
