Two Harbors Investment Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Strong Performance From Agency Plus MSR Strategy

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), a mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) that pairs investments in Agency mortgage servicing rights (MSR) with Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Quarterly Summary

  • Reported book value of $7.37 per common share, representing a 12.1% quarterly return on book value; excluding the $0.51 reversal of the previously accrued management agreement termination fee, quarterly return on book value would have been 4.5%(1)
  • Generated Comprehensive Income of $219.2 million, representing an annualized return on average common equity of 45.6%
  • Reported Core Earnings of $75.6 million, or $0.28 per weighted average basic common share(2)
  • Declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.14 per share
  • Continued strength in MSR flow-sale program; settled on $14.5 billion unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSR through these arrangements
  • Strengthened liquidity position by closing a $200 million financing facility for servicing advance receivables and a $100 million financing facility for MSR
  • Experienced reduced forbearance rates; 5.0% of our MSR portfolio by loan count in forbearance and 3.6% by loan count in forbearance and not current at September 30, 2020
  • Completed transition to self-management after the termination of the management agreement on August 14, 2020

Fourth Quarter Update

  • Settled on $14.5 billion UPB of MSR in three separate bulk transactions

“We are very pleased with our performance this quarter, which includes 4.5% economic return on book value,” stated Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “These results demonstrate that our portfolio construction has lower mortgage spread risk than portfolios without MSR, and continues to validate our strategy as an Agency plus MSR REIT.”

Based on our current flow volumes coupled with post-quarter end bulk settlements of an additional $14.5 billion UPB, our MSR portfolio has started to grow again.”

_____________

(1)

Core Earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, excluding “realized and unrealized gains and losses” (impairment losses, provision for credit losses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate portfolio, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock, other nonrecurring expenses and restructuring charges). As defined, Core Earnings includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR, management fees and recurring cash related operating expenses. Dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. Core Earnings provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers.

________________

(1)

Amortization refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio. This amortization has been deducted from Core Earnings. Amortization of MSR is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value.

Please see page 11 for a definition of Core Earnings and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
