Note: The End Notes are an integral part of this presentation. See slide 27 through 30 at the back of this presentation for information related to certain financial metrics and defined terms herein. Quarterly Summary • Reported book value of $5.53 per common share, representing a (2.9)% quarterly return on book value(1) • Generated Comprehensive Loss of $60.3 million, representing an annualized return on average common equity of (12.2)% • Reported Earnings Available for Distribution (EAD) of $61.7 million, or $0.18 per weighted average basic common share(2) • Declared a first quarter common stock dividend of $0.17 per share • Grew MSR portfolio with the acquisition of $37.2 billion unpaid principal balance (UPB) through the bulk channel and $7.9 billion UPB through the flow channel


 
Key Market Highlights 4 II. RATE INCREASES IN THE QUARTER WERE HISTORIC(2) I. INCREASING EXPECTATIONS OF RATE HIKES(1) • Market expectations have shifted significantly and rapidly ◦ The number of hikes priced in for 2022 rose from 3 to 9, and are expected to rise above neutral before easing • Quarter-over-quarter changes in the current coupon (+142 bps), 2-year (+160 bps), and 10-year (+83 bps) rates were the largest quarterly movements in over 30 years, respectively • The refinancing wave is over; rates are high and RMBS prices are low ◦ Mortgage rates rose to 4.7% at March 31 and have breached 5% in April, the highest level since 2018 III. HIGHER MORTGAGE RATES CURB REFI ACTIVITY(3) HISTORIC MARKET REPRICING AS FEDERAL RESERVE AMPLIFIES EFFORTS TO TAME INFLATION


 
Key Market Highlights RMBS ARE ATTRACTIVE ON A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS BUT TECHNICALS STILL WARRANT CAUTION 5 II. FULLY EXTENDED DURATION AND LOW CONVEXITY(2) III. INITIATION OF QUANTITATIVE TIGHTENING(3) • Current coupon OAS widened over 33 bps to 27 bps. In April, spreads widened another 11 bps and are now past historical averages and near the 90th percentile of the last period of quantitative tightening • Mortgage market convexity is near historical lows, approximately -0.5, meaning that there is less need for hedging amongst holders; mortgage market durations are fully extended, at approximately 5.5 years • Impending Federal Reserve balance sheet run-off presents a supply headwind ◦ Nearly $180 billion in additional net supply of RMBS expected through the end of 2022 ◦ Total cumulative supply of RMBS to the private market could reach approximately $1 trillion by end of 2024 I. CURRENT COUPON SPREADS CONTINUE TO WIDEN(1)

Portfolio Yields and Financing Costs 8 • Portfolio yield increased 18 bps to 3.90% primarily due to lower premium amortization on available-for-sale securities and higher yields on mortgage servicing rights • Net spread narrowed by (10) bps due to increased cost of financing mainly from added payer swaps and higher rates • Net spread at March 31, 2022 is estimated at 2.83%(1) ($ thousands) Q4-2021 Q1-2022 As of March 31, 2022(1) Portfolio Asset Type Average Amortized Cost Income(2) Average Yield Average Amortized Cost Income(2) Average Yield Average Yield Available-for-sale securities $ 6,067,568 $ 32,729 2.16% $ 7,313,318 $ 44,647 2.44% Mortgage servicing rights(3) 1,768,159 39,329 8.90% 1,983,600 45,395 9.15% Agency derivatives(4) 34,486 1,058 12.27 % 31,548 853 10.82 % Total portfolio $ 7,870,213 $ 73,116 3.72 % $ 9,328,466 $ 90,895 3.90 % 4.23 % Financing Collateral Type Average Outstanding Balance Expense(5) Average Cost Average Outstanding Balance Expense(5) Average Cost Average Cost Available-for-sale securities $ 6,503,608 $ 2,911 0.18% $ 7,590,560 $ 4,787 0.25% Mortgage servicing rights and advances 942,357 9,883 4.20 % 1,210,160 12,423 4.11 % Agency derivatives(4) 38,045 69 0.73 % 34,920 65 0.74 % Other - unsecured(6) 424,641 7,295 6.87 % 303,665 5,042 6.64 % Interest rate swaps(7) (5,772) (0.29) % 741 0.03 % Total financing $ 7,908,651 $ 14,386 0.73 % $ 9,139,305 $ 23,058 1.01 % 1.40 % Net Spread 2.99 % 2.89 % 2.83 %

II. MBS QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE • Specified pools widened materially across the coupon stack ◦ Higher coupon 4.5 and 5.0 collateral performed the best given their shorter cash flows and lower spread duration • Weighted average specified pool portfolio speeds declined 38%, to 17.3%, from 27.7% in the fourth quarter • Speeds have dropped sharply and are expected to continue to decline given mortgage rates have risen to the highest levels of the last decade C PR % Specified Pools I.

As defined, EAD includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, U.S. Treasury futures income, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR and recurring cash related operating expenses. EAD provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers.

End Notes (continued) 28 PAGE 8 - Portfolio Yields and Financing Costs 1. Portfolio yields on the portfolio held as of March 31, 2022 and projected over the remaining life of the investments. Assumes a static portfolio and, as a result, does not represent a projection of future yields due to excluding portfolio reinvestment. 2. Includes interest income, net of premium amortization/discount accretion, on AFS securities and Agency Derivatives, and servicing income, net of estimated amortization and servicing expenses, on MSR. Amortization on MSR refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio, which is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value. 3. Amortized cost on MSR for a given period equals the net present value of the remaining future cash flows (obtained by applying original prepayment assumptions to the actual unpaid principal balance at the start of the period) using a discount rate equal to the original pricing yield. Original pricing yield is the discount rate which makes the net present value of the cash flows projected at purchase equal to the purchase price. MSR amortized cost is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value. 4. Represents inverse interest-only Agency RMBS which are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. 5. Includes interest expense and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs on borrowings, and interest spread income/expense on interest rate swap agreements. 6. Unsecured convertible senior notes. 7. The cost of financing on interest rate swaps held to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Company’s outstanding borrowings is calculated using average borrowings balance as the denominator. PAGE 9 - Financing Profile 1. Source: Bloomberg. Represents the average spread between repo rates and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) over trailing 3-month and 6-month periods between Q1 2019 and Q2 2022 (as of April 28). 2. Balance of 5-year MSR term notes excludes deferred debt issuance costs. PAGE 10 - Quarterly Activity and Portfolio Composition 1. For additional detail on the portfolio, see Appendix slides 21 and 22. 2. Economic debt-to-equity is defined as total borrowings to fund RMBS, MSR and Agency Derivatives, plus the implied debt on net TBA positions, divided by total equity. 3. Net TBA Position represents the bond equivalent value of the company’s TBA position. Bond equivalent value is defined as notional amount multiplied by market price. Accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. 4. Specified pools include securities with implicit or explicit protection including lower loan balances (securities collateralized by loans less than or equal to $200K of initial principal balance), higher LTVs (securities collateralized by loans with greater than or equal to 80% LTV), certain geographic concentrations, loans secured by investor-owned properties, and lower FICO scores, as well as securities without such protection, including large bank-serviced and others. PAGE 11 - Specified Pools 1. Specified pools include securities with implicit or explicit protection including lower loan balances (securities collateralized by loans less than or equal to $200K of initial principal balance), higher LTVs (securities collateralized by loans with greater than or equal to 80% LTV), certain geographic concentrations, loans secured by investor-owned properties, and lower FICO scores, as well as securities without such protection, including large bank-serviced and others. 2.

Book value exposure to current coupon represents estimated change in common book value for theoretical parallel shifts in spreads. 4. MSR/Agency IO RMBS includes the effect of unsettled MSR. PAGE 14 - Risk Positioning 1. Parallel shift represents estimated change in common book value for theoretical parallel shift in interest rates. 2. Shift in long term rates represents estimated change in common book value for theoretical non-parallel shifts in the yield curve. Analysis uses a +/- 25 basis point shift in 10-year rates while holding short term rates constant. 3. Shift in short term rates represents estimated change in common book value for theoretical non-parallel shifts in the yield curve. Analysis uses a +/- 25 basis point shift in 2-year rates while holding long term rates constant. 4. MSR/Agency IO RMBS includes the effect of unsettled MSR. 5. Other includes all other derivative assets and liabilities and borrowings. Other excludes TBAs, which are included in the Agency P&I RMBS/TBA category. PAGE 15 - Two Harbors Outlook 1.
