Two Harbors’ Competitive Advantages  Disciplined Asset Selection: We perform granular analysis of the loans underlying the RMBS, including loan size, property type, maturity, prepayment characteristics and borrower credit profiles. Similarly, on residential properties we analyze geographical fit, discount to replacement cost and certain property attributes related to size and amenities.  Opportunistic: We deploy capital to opportunities we believe are the best value in the residential mortgage and housing markets.  Hedging: We utilize sophisticated hedging strategies to manage risk, including swaps, swaptions, IOs, IIOs and credit default swaps.  Capture Benefits of Hybrid Model: We seek out opportunities in both the Agency and non- Agency sectors, and believe this diversification allows us to better mitigate risks, including volatility in interest rates, prepayments, and credit risk. 3


 
4 Opportunity for Two Harbors Market Opportunity Strategy Summary:  The U.S. government is reducing its involvement in the U.S. residential mortgage and housing markets.  Banks are adjusting portfolios due to new regulatory framework for capital and liquidity requirements.  Private capital, such as mortgage-REITs, are essential to fill the void in housing and mortgage sectors.  It will take many years to address all the issues surrounding housing finance and therein lies opportunity for Two Harbors.  The Federal Reserve’s commitment to keep target federal funds rate low until at least late-2014 provides funding visibility. Agency:  Well-positioned to capitalize on reduced competition for Agency assets.  Continued focus on prepayment protected securities. Non-Agency:  Attractive on both an absolute and relative basis.  Fundamentals continue to improve. Business Diversification:  Residential real properties. Total portfolio of approximately $150 million through the end of August 2012.  Asset securitization.


 
5 Single Family Residential Properties ▪ Two Harbors announced the proposed contribution of its portfolio of single-family rental properties to Silver Bay. The contribution is intended to be part of a larger transaction in which Silver Bay expects to acquire two large portfolios of single-family rental properties while concurrently offering its common stock in an initial public offering. Silver Bay filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC. ▪ Two Harbors has acquired a total portfolio of approximately 1,370 single-family residential properties, or $150 million, as of the end of August 2012. ▪ Home prices seem to be stabilizing. ▪ Residential real properties is an attractive asset class due to long duration, ability to leverage and potential for home price appreciation and increased rents. Two Harbors historically has targeted properties at significant discount to replacement cost and where absorption metrics are favorable.


 
6 Portfolio Update ▪ Completed an accretive public stock offering in mid-July for net proceeds of ~$592 million. ― As of August 31, 2012, approximately 90% of capital has been deployed from this offering. The deployment has been focused primarily on Agency securities, in addition to non-Agencies securities and residential real properties to a lesser extent. ― Asset yields on incremental proceeds were generally in-line with our expectations as noted in our second quarter 2012 earnings call. ― Consistent with our expectations, we expect the deployment to be completed within two months of the capital raise. ― We anticipate the aggregate RMBS portfolio to be approximately $15 billion upon completion of deployment. ▪ Book value per common share has increased noticeably in the period between June 30 and August 31, 2012.


 
Fluid Asset Allocation Drives Performance 7 (1) The second quarter 2012 dividend may not be indicative of future dividend distributions. The company ultimately distributes dividends based on its taxable income per common share, not GAAP earnings. The annualized dividend yield on the company’s common stock is calculated based on the closing price of the last trading day of the quarter. (2) Respective yields include inverse interest-only securities (“Agency Derivatives”). Interest income on Agency Derivatives was $6.7 million and $7.6 million for the first and second quarter of 2012, respectively, contributing an additional 0.4% and 0.3% to Agency yields for the first and second quarters of 2012, respectively, and an additional 0.2% to aggregate annualized yields in both periods. (3) Cost of financing RMBS includes interest spread expense associated with the portfolio’s interest rate swaps of $4.7 million and $7.7 million for the first and second quarter of 2012, respectively. Interest spread expense increased cost of financing RMBS by 0.3% for both periods.

8 Security Selection Matters (1) Securities collateralized by loans of less than or equal to $85K. (2) Securities collateralized by loans with greater than or equal to 80% loan-to-value ratio. (3) Home Equity Conversion Mortgage loans (or “HECM”) are loans that allow the homeowner to convert home equity into cash collateralized by the value of their home. (4) Securities collateralized by loans of less than or equal to $175K, but more than $85K. (5) Securities collateralized by loans reflecting less prepayment risk due to previously experienced high levels of refinancing. (6) Securities collateralized by loans held by lower credit borrowers as defined by Fair Isaac Corporation’s, or FICO, scoring model. Agency Strategy  Attractive returns with moderate leverage in 6.0x - 7.0x range.  Intense focus on prepayment stability intended to provide for sustainable yields.  Stable cash flows make interest rate hedging more effective.  Portfolio’s implied or explicit prepayment protection of 97%. Non-Agency Strategy  Attractive loss-adjusted yields.  Deeply discounted cost basis of $52.07.  Improving underlying loan performance: Declining delinquencies, relatively stable housing prices and servicers’ actions benefit bond holders.  Potential benefit from policy actions and housing recovery over time.
