Two Harbors Investment Corp. Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Hedge Benefits of MSR Offset Historic Spread Widening in RMBS During Volatile Quarter

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), an Agency + MSR mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

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

“The first quarter was marked by historic repricing across the rates complex as market expectations converged with the Federal Reserve’s accelerated timeline to higher rates and quantitative tightening. Our portfolio performance in this challenging environment highlights the benefits of the paired Agency + MSR strategy and our active portfolio management,” stated Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. “After the significant spread widening in the quarter, we are poised to allocate capital to RMBS at fundamentally attractive valuations.”

_____________

(1)

MSR 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, which is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value.

(2)

TBA dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements.

(3)

U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements.

(4)

EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders, excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate portfolio, provision for (reversal of) credit losses, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock and other nonrecurring expenses. 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. EAD is one of several measures our board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on our common stock and should not be considered an indication of our taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends we may declare.
