Management Update To Our Stockholders

Jason Serrano, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The third quarter presented a challenging market environment, with the rise in interest rates and volatility resulting in a decline in adjusted book value primarily driven by lower valuations for our Agency mortgage securities. As market volatility intensified in the quarter, we proactively managed spread and convexity risks in our Agency securities portfolio through short TBA positions, lowering net Agency exposure. Since quarter-end, we have significantly reduced these TBA short positions reflecting our view of receding Agency spread tail risks.

Our underlying business fundamentals remain strong, supported by solid credit performance, substantial liquidity, and earnings available for distribution that fully covered our recently increased dividend. Importantly, the repricing of mortgage assets has created some of the most attractive investment opportunities we have seen in several quarters. We entered the fourth quarter with financial flexibility and continued focus on disciplined portfolio management to provide long-term shareholder value.”
