These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently available to our management and are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. Some, but not all, of the factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation:

•changes in our business and investment strategy;
•our ability to predict and control costs;
•changes in interest rates and the fair value of our assets, including negative changes resulting in margin calls relating to the financing of our assets;
•changes in the yield curve;

•changes in general economic conditions, in our industry and in the finance and real estate markets, including the impact on the value of our assets;
•conditions in the market for residential mortgage investments and Agency RMBS;
•conditions in the market for commercial investments, including the Company's ability to successfully realize the commercial investments acquired from Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation ("WMC") within the timeframe anticipated or at all;

•our ability to qualify for an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"); and
•our ability to successfully complete our proposed merger with Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation and/or realize all of the expected benefits or that such benefits may take longer to realize than expected (including because we incur significant costs associated with such merger).
We caution investors not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and urge you to carefully consider the risks noted above and identified under the captions "Risk Factors," and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and any subsequent filings. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible 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. All forward-looking statements that we make, or that are attributable to us, are expressly qualified by this cautionary notice.

(1)During the quarter, we partnered with private funds managed by TPG to execute two rated securitizations collateralized by $429.6 million and $333.4 million of Non-Agency Loans, respectively. As the co-sponsor, we retained an "eligible vertical interest" to comply with risk retention rules which consists of retaining at least 5% of each class of securities issued in the securitizations. Upon evaluating our retained interest in the securitization trusts, we determined we were not the primary beneficiary and, as a result, did not consolidate the securitization trusts, which resulted in us recording an investment in Non-Agency RMBS.
Financing Activity
•Pledged certain Home Equity Loans with a fair value of $63.5 million in which we have no outstanding financing but have $50 million of available financing which is contractually committed as of June 30, 2026; and
•Amended a financing arrangement to convert financing on our residential mortgage loans with a total borrowing capacity of $300 million from financing with mark-to-market margin calls to financing without mark-to-market margin calls.
Our company
We are a residential mortgage REIT with a focus on investing in a diversified risk-adjusted portfolio of residential mortgage-related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders over the long-term, primarily through dividends and capital appreciation.
We focus our investment activities primarily on acquiring and securitizing newly-originated residential mortgage loans within the non-agency segment of the housing market. We obtain our assets through Arc Home, LLC ("Arc Home"), our residential mortgage loan originator in which we own an approximate 66.0% interest as of June 30, 2026, and through other third-party origination partners. We finance our acquired loans through various financing lines on a short-term basis and utilize TPG's proprietary securitization platform to secure long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing as market conditions permit. Through our ownership in Arc Home, we also have exposure to mortgage banking activities. Arc Home is a multi-channel licensed mortgage originator and servicer primarily engaged in the business of originating and selling residential mortgage loans while retaining the mortgage servicing rights associated with certain loans that it originates.
Our investment portfolio (which excludes our ownership in Arc Home) primarily includes Residential Investments and Agency RMBS. Currently, our Residential Investments primarily consist of Non-Agency Loans, Agency-Eligible Loans, Home Equity Loans and Non-Agency RMBS collateralized by these loan types, which we refer to as our target assets. In addition, we may also invest in other types of residential mortgage loans and other mortgage related assets.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements, which are included in this report.
Our company
We are a residential mortgage REIT with a focus on investing in a diversified risk-adjusted portfolio of residential mortgage-related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders over the long-term, primarily through dividends and capital appreciation.
We focus our investment activities primarily on acquiring and securitizing newly-originated residential mortgage loans within the non-agency segment of the housing market. We obtain our assets through Arc Home, LLC ("Arc Home"), our residential mortgage loan originator in which we own an approximate 66.0% interest, and through other third-party origination partners. We finance our acquired loans through various financing lines on a short-term basis and utilize TPG Inc.'s ("TPG") proprietary securitization platform to secure long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing as market conditions permit. Through our ownership in Arc Home, we also have exposure to mortgage banking activities.

Our investment portfolio (which excludes our ownership in Arc Home) primarily includes Residential Investments and Agency RMBS. Currently, our Residential Investments primarily consist of Non-Agency Loans, Agency-Eligible Loans, Home Equity Loans and Non-Agency RMBS collateralized by these loan types, which we refer to as our target assets. In addition, we may also invest in other types of residential mortgage loans and other mortgage related assets. Our investment portfolio also includes commercial loans and commercial-mortgage backed securities ("CMBS") (collectively, the "Legacy WMC Commercial Investments") that were acquired in the WMC acquisition. We expect to either hold the Legacy WMC Commercial Investments until maturity or opportunistically exit these investments.
We were incorporated in Maryland on March 1, 2011 and commenced operations in July 2011. We conduct our operations to qualify and be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders as long as we maintain our intended qualification as a REIT, with the exception of business conducted in our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") which are subject to corporate income tax. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act.
We are externally managed by our Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPG, pursuant to a management agreement. Our Manager has delegated to Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. ("TPG Angelo Gordon"), an affiliate of TPG, the overall responsibility of its day-to-day duties and obligations arising under our management agreement. TPG (NASDAQ: TPG) is a leading global alternative asset management firm.

(1)During the year, we partnered with mortgage originators and executed three rated securitizations collateralized by $1.5 billion of Home Equity Loans. As the co-sponsor, the Company retained an "eligible vertical interest" to comply with risk retention rules which consists of at least 5% of each class of securities issued in the securitizations. Upon evaluating our retained interest in the securitization trusts, we determined we were not the primary beneficiary and, as a result, did not consolidate the securitization trusts, which resulted in us recording an investment in Non-Agency RMBS.

Market Conditions
During the fourth quarter of 2025 and through January of 2026, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell adopted a more cautious posture as the central bank sought to balance a labor market showing early signs of softening with persistent inflation. Although the unemployment rate edged higher to 4.4% by the end of 2025, core inflation remained near 3%. In response to these shifting dynamics, the Federal Open Market Committee delivered two additional 25 basis point interest rate cuts at its October and December meetings, bringing the target Fed Funds range to 3.50% to 3.75%. However, at the January 2026 meeting, the Federal Reserve elected to hold rates steady, whereby Chair Powell maintained that while risks to the dual mandate had diminished, current policy was not significantly restrictive, signaling a patient, meeting-by-meeting approach to further easing while under his chairmanship. The Treasury market reflected this "higher-for-longer" concern even as the Federal Reserve cut short-term rates. This resulted in a further steepening of the yield curve. By quarter-end, the yield spread between 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasuries widened to approximately 70 basis points, remaining around that level through January 2026. Despite elevated long-term Treasury yields, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate declined by 15 to 20 basis points over the course of the fourth quarter to the low 6% area, reflecting modest easing in long-term borrowing costs for consumers. On January 30, 2026, Kevin Warsh was nominated to succeed Jerome Powell as the Federal Reserve Chair in May 2026 and after some initial market volatility, markets subsequently stabilized as investors assessed the potential implications of the nomination on monetary policy.
RMBS credit spreads were broadly tighter during the fourth quarter of 2025, particularly lower in the capital structure. Senior Non-QM spreads trended slightly tighter by a few basis points while mezzanine and subordinate tranches were 20 to 25 basis points tighter. Similarly, senior prime jumbo spreads were mixed while the subordinate tranches tightened by 20 to 35 basis points. Closed-end second lien spreads were flat to slightly wider higher in the capital structure while mezzanine tranches were flat to approximately 10 basis points tighter. Trends in credit spreads on credit risk transfer ("CRT") assets can serve as a proxy for market participants evaluating credit-related assets given the observability of transactions. Credit spreads on lower priority CRT tranches continued to tighten as market participants sought higher-yielding assets backed by seasoned mortgage credit. These tranche profiles have benefitted from some scarcity value as the GSEs have opted to retain more of the capital structure for their newly issued transactions amid favorable underlying collateral fundamentals. Higher priority CRT tranches were flat to slightly tighter during the fourth quarter of 2025. Non-QM credit curves continued to flatten amid robust demand for residential credit. Overall, credit spread changes for the full-year 2025 were broadly similar to the fourth quarter, with credit spreads on senior tranches mixed, while spreads on lower tranches in the capital structure were tighter by up to 25 to 30 basis points.
During the fourth quarter, primary RMBS market activity declined by 6% to $51 billion as compared to prior quarter. However, fourth quarter issuance volume was 27% higher than year-ago levels and brought the full-year 2025 primary issuance to over $200 billion, a 37% increase against 2024. Growth in the Non-QM sector was the primary driver of the annual increase, rising by approximately $35 billion, nearly doubling the volume in 2024. In addition, Home Equity issuance increased by over $13 billion, also nearly double 2024, and Prime Jumbo and Agency-Eligible issuance increased by a combined $10 billion. For the full-year 2025, Non-QM was roughly 40% of the year’s total issuance, followed by Prime Jumbo and Agency, collectively about 22%, and Home Equity at 14%.
