Fourth Quarter 2015 Results
The Company reported a comprehensive loss to common shareholders of $(14.6) million for the fourth quarter of 2015 comprised of net income to common shareholders of $30.2 million and other comprehensive loss of $(44.9) million compared to a comprehensive loss to common shareholders of $(11.9) million for the third quarter

1

of 2015 comprised of net loss to common shareholders of $(39.3) million and other comprehensive income of $27.4 million. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 includes net interest income of $19.7 million and gain on derivative instruments of $17.9 million on the Company's hedging portfolio from an increase in interest rate swap and Eurodollar rates. The third quarter of 2015 included net interest income of $20.2 million and a loss on derivative instruments of $(52.7) million from declining interest rate swap and Eurodollar rates. Other comprehensive loss for the fourth quarter of 2015 includes $(45.6) million in unrealized losses from declines in the fair value of MBS resulting from credit spread widening and increasing interest rates during the fourth quarter versus $26.6 million in unrealized gains from increases in the fair value of MBS during the prior quarter as a result of lower interest rates during that period.
Net interest income decreased $0.5 million to $19.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter while net interest spread increased 2 basis points to 2.04% compared to the prior quarter. Interest income decreased $0.6 million to $25.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter due to a lower average balance of interest earning assets, partially offset by an increase in effective yield of 5 basis points to 2.74% over the same periods. The increase in effective yield was primarily due to recent shifts in the Company's investment portfolio into higher yielding CMBS and CMBS IO as well as favorable prepayment performance on Agency hybrid ARMs during the fourth quarter of 2015. Although average interest bearing liabilities decreased for the fourth quarter of 2015, interest expense was essentially flat at $5.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2015 because cost of funds increased 3 basis points to 0.70% for the fourth quarter. Cost of funds increased due primarily to the increase in short-term market interest rates as a result of the increase in the targeted federal funds rate.
Core net operating income to common shareholders (a non-GAAP measure) was $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $12.5 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.01 to $0.25 per common share due principally to repurchases of 1.5 million common shares during the fourth quarter. Core net operating income to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 is comprised of adjusted net interest income (a non-GAAP measure) of $19.1 million, equity in income of limited partnership of $0.1 million, and other income of $0.1 million partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $4.3 million and preferred dividends of $2.3 million. Adjusted net interest income decreased $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter primarily because interest income decreased for the reasons discussed previously. Lower interest income was partially offset by the lower effective borrowing cost (a non-GAAP measure) of $6.4 million, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the prior quarter. The effective borrowing cost, which includes net periodic interest costs from derivatives as an additional cost of financing, decreased because the Company's termination of certain interest rate swaps late in the third quarter of 2015 resulted in lower net periodic interest costs for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter. The Company also made other changes to its hedging portfolio during the fourth quarter, which are discussed further below.
Book Value
Book value per common share at December 31, 2015 was $7.71 compared to $8.19 at September 30, 2015, resulting in a negative economic return on book value of (2.9)% for the fourth quarter of 2015 (calculated by dividing

2

dividends declared of $0.24 and the $(0.48) decline in book value by the fourth quarter's beginning book value of $8.19). The decrease in book value per common share of $(0.48) was comprised of the following estimated impacts:
•decline of $(0.28) per common share from impact of wider credit spreads in fair value of MBS,
net of the increase in fair value of derivatives
•decline of $(0.26) per common share from impact of higher interest rates in fair value of MBS,
net of the increase in fair value of derivatives
•benefit of $0.05 per common share from stock repurchases and other stock transactions
•benefit of $0.01 per common share from core net operating income per common share exceeding
dividends declared per common share

The Company's investment portfolio decreased during the fourth quarter of 2015 as principal payments and sales outpaced purchases of new investments, resulting in a lower average earning asset basis for the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company used the majority of its capital returned on its investments to repurchase common shares during the fourth quarter of 2015.

(1) Effective yield is weighted by the average balance of investments, which in turn is calculated using daily amortized cost basis.
Effective yield for Agency RMBS increased for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter due to lower premium amortization because the Company received fewer prepayments than projected. Effective yield for non-Agency CMBS decreased for the fourth quarter of 2015 because the Company received prepayment penalty income on its non-Agency CMBS of approximately $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2015.
Financing and Leverage
The Company's overall leverage increased to 6.5x total shareholders' equity at December 31, 2015 from 6.4x at September 30, 2015. Although total liabilities decreased 6.5% since September 30, 2015, total shareholder's equity declined 6.8% over the same period as a result of the comprehensive loss of $14.6 million and the repurchase of common stock of approximately $10.1 million during the fourth quarter.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company increased its Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances to $520.0 million. Approximately half of the FHLB advances outstanding mature in February 2016, and the remaining balance matures in October 2016. Due to the final rule on FHLB membership released by the Federal Housing Finance Administration in January 2016, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Mackinaw Insurance Company, LLC ("Mackinaw") will be required to terminate its FHLB membership by February 19, 2017 and will not be permitted new advances or renewals of existing advances during the transition period. Because these borrowings are collateralized with Agency CMBS, the Company anticipates refinancing the advances without complication using repurchase agreement borrowings, although likely at a higher borrowing rate than under the FHLB advances, and expects no material changes to its liquidity as a result of the termination of Mackinaw's FHLB membership.

Hedging Activities
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company added interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $150.0 million at a net weighted average receive-fixed rate of 0.68% and terminated interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $110.0 million at a weighted average pay-fixed rate of 2.11%. At December 31, 2015, the Company had an effective notional amount of interest rate derivatives of $480 million at a weighted-average net pay-fixed rate of 1.06%, with an additional notional amount of $325.0 million in previously forward-starting swaps at a weighted-average net pay-fixed rate of 1.94% beginning in January 2016.

Company Description
Dynex Capital, Inc. is an internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, which invests in mortgage assets on a leveraged basis. The Company invests in Agency and non-Agency RMBS, CMBS, and CMBS IO.  Additional information about Dynex Capital, Inc. is available at www.dynexcapital.com.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the Company's operating results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including core net operating income to common shareholders (including per common share), effective borrowing cost and rate, adjusted net interest income, and adjusted net interest spread. Schedules reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP are provided as a supplement to this release. Management uses core net operating income (including per common share) as an estimate of the net interest earnings from our investments after operating expenses. In connection with core net operating income, management uses effective borrowing cost and rate, adjusted net interest income, and adjusted net interest spread because management considers net periodic interest costs related to the Company's derivative hedging instruments as an additional cost of using repurchase agreements to finance investments. Because these measures are used in the Company's internal analysis of financial and operating performance, management believes that it provides greater transparency to our investors of management's view of our economic performance. Management also believes the presentation of these measures, when analyzed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP operating results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate and compare the performance of the Company to that of its peers even though peer companies may present its non-GAAP measures on a different basis than the Company's. Because these non-GAAP financial

5

measures exclude certain items used to compute GAAP net income to common shareholders and GAAP interest expense, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP results as reported on its consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of core net operating income, effective borrowing cost and rate, adjusted net interest income, and adjusted net interest spread may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
Forward Looking Statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “expect,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements that are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Forward-looking statements in this release may include, without limitation, statements regarding future interest rates, our views on expected characteristics of future investment environments, prepayment rates on our investment portfolio and risks posed by our investment portfolio, our future investment strategies, our future leverage levels and financing strategies including the impact of termination of Mackinaw’s membership in the FHLB and related anticipated refinancing, the use of specific financing and hedging instruments and the future impacts of these strategies, future actions by the Federal Reserve, and the expected performance of our investments. The Company's actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of unforeseen external factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic and market conditions, including volatility in the credit markets which impacts asset prices and the cost and availability of financing, defaults by borrowers, availability of suitable reinvestment opportunities, variability in investment portfolio cash flows, fluctuations in interest rates, fluctuations in property capitalization rates and values of commercial real estate, defaults by third-party servicers, prepayments of investment portfolio assets, other general competitive factors, uncertainty around government regulatory and monetary policy, the impact of regulatory changes, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and ongoing financial institution regulatory reform efforts, the full impacts of which are unknown at this time, and another ownership change under Section 382 that further impacts the use of our tax net operating loss carryforward. For additional information on risk factors that could affect the Company's forward-looking statements, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and other reports filed with and furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
