2023 Outlook 4


 
Mortgage & Consumer Credit Outlook The post-Covid reopening has been uneven across parts of the economy, geographically, across demographics, and amongst different asset classes with certain segments of the economy operating well above and others well below the pre-COVID economy. On top of the COVID uncertainties, geopolitical risks have arisen, broad based inflationary pressures have persisted, and the Federal Reserve’s policy accommodation has been actively reduced, significantly tightening financial conditions. Mortgage and consumer credit spreads and yields are well wide of the levels we saw pre-COVID and in December 2018, the last time the Fed hiked the US economy into an economic slowdown. After booming during the pandemic, home prices have begun to stall and roll over under the pressure of higher mortgage rates and lack of affordability. Credit standards have remained high during this cycle and we do not see the risk of higher rates hitting borrowers who already locked in ultra-low mortgage rates. While we expect housing activity to slow down dramatically with less willing sellers and buyers, we do not anticipate a wave of delinquencies and foreclosures. We see attractive opportunities in non-agency residential mortgages backed high quality borrowers with significant built up equity. While housing is expected to cool, we do not see the significant risk of defaults or home price correction that current market pricing implies. As the clarity around the pace and timing of Fed Tapering is expected to be more certain, and inflation likely to moderate substantially in 2023, the volatility in rates and spreads is expected to decline significantly. The team believes there is potential for strong total return from spread normalization and high carry, which should provide value to investors. Our Manager's General Investment Outlook 5

12 Investment Strategy Our primary goal is to generate attractive returns while preserving book value. We continue to find value in mortgage credit. Under current market conditions we expect to continue to focus investments in non-qualified residential mortgages and other mortgage credit that will be 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 9% 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 6%-15% ◦ Favoring long-term financing utilizing structural leverage and low recourse leverage


 
Company Business Highlights • The Company continues to execute on its business strategy to focus on residential real estate investments, completing securitizations of $834.2 million of Residential Whole Loans in the first and third quarters of 2022 (Arroyo 2022-1 and Arroyo 2022-2), which allowed the Company to secure $750.8 million of long-term fixed rate financing. • The Company's core assets have performed well in 2022, with $216.1 million received from the repayment or paydown of Residential Whole Loans. • In addition, the Company took a series of actions in 2022 to deleverage, build liquidity, and strengthen its balance sheet, including the sale of $56.4 million of Non-Agency RMBS and other securities and the repurchase of its outstanding 2022 Notes in full at maturity in October for $26.0 million. • Furthermore, on February 3, 2023, the CRE 3 loan was sold to an unaffiliated third party for $8.8 million, which was equal to the fair value of the loan at December 31, 2022. • During the second quarter of 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a review of strategic alternatives for the Company aimed at enhancing shareholder value, which may include a sale or merger of the Company. JMP Securities, A Citizens Company, has been retained as exclusive financial advisor to the Company. No assurance can be given that the review being undertaken will result in a sale, merger, or other transaction involving the Company, and the Company has not set a timetable for completion of the review process. The Company does not intend to make any further statements regarding this process unless and until a definitive agreement for a transaction has been reached, or until the process of exploring strategic alternatives has ended. 13

30 (1) As of December 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) the removing the asset and liabilities associated with each of consolidated trusts (CSMC 2014 USA, Arroyo 2019-2, Arroyo 2020-1, Arroyo 2022-1 and Arroyo 2022-2). 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 December 31, 2022, the Company held a $7.5 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 December 31, 2022 Other Securities include GSE Credit Risk Transfer securities with an estimated fair value of $22.3 million and student loans ABS with a fair value of $4.9 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 231 loans with a principal balance of approximately $76.6 million at December 31, 2022.
