Portfolio Performance DRIVING SUPERIOR PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE Q1-2018 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY PORTFOLIO METRICS RATES December 31, March 31, Three Months Ended 2017 2018 • Positive performance from hedges and MSR in rising rate environment Annualized portfolio yield from continuing operations during the quarter 3.69% 3.77% • Higher coupon Agencies and specified pools underperformed during overall spread widening Rates Agency RMBS, Agency Derivatives and MSR 3.2% 3.2% CREDIT Credit (1) • Residential credit benefitted from stable spreads, Non-Agency securities, Legacy 7.8% 7.5% generating a positive return each month of the first Non-Agency securities, New issue(1) 6.6% 10.9% quarter Net economic interest in securitization trusts 11.2% —% Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale 3.9% 4.7% POST QUARTER-END UPDATE Annualized cost of funds from continuing operations on average borrowings during the • Modest reversal of underperformance of higher quarter(2) 1.72% 1.84% coupons and specified pools benefitted book value in Annualized interest rate spread for aggregate April portfolio during the quarter 1.97% 1.93% (1) “Legacy” non-Agency securities includes non-Agency bonds issued up to and including 2009. “New issue” non-Agency securities includes bonds issued after 2009. 11 (2) Cost of funds includes interest spread expense associated with the portfolio’s interest rate swaps.


 
Rates Update STRATEGY OF PAIRING MSR WITH AGENCY RMBS IS DISTINGUISHING FACTOR • Added $13.6 billion UPB of MSR through a bulk purchase and through flow-sale arrangements • Pairing MSR with Agency RMBS results in a portfolio that has higher return potential with lower mortgage spread risk – Mitigates adverse impact to book value in spread widening scenario • Low-to-mid double digit expected returns • Addition of financing for MSR is beneficial to growing portfolio and enhancing returns • Opportunity to capitalize on Fed's tapering of RMBS • Expect attractive investment opportunities in wider spread environment 12


 
Protecting Book Value and Income • Utilize a variety of hedging tools including MSR, swaps and swaptions/mortgage options to reduce book value sensitivity to changes in interest rates and mortgage spreads HEDGING ACROSS THE CURVE Book value exposure to changes in rates(1) Net income exposure to changes in rates(2) +25 basis points 0.7% +25 basis points (1.6%) +50 basis points (1.0%) +50 basis points (3.2%) BOOK VALUE SENSITIVITY TO MORTGAGE SPREADS(3) Change in Agency RMBS and Total overall Rates strategy Mortgage spreads mortgage derivatives Change in MSR change 25 basis points wider ($180) $47 ($133) / (3.8%) 15 basis points wider ($111) $29 ($82) / (2.4%) 15 basis points tighter $105 ($33) $72 / 2.1% 25 basis points tighter $167 ($55) $112 / 3.2% Note: The above scenario is provided for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of Two Harbors’ financial condition and operating results, nor is it necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations that may be expected for any future period or date.

As defined, Core Earnings includes interest income or expense and premium income or loss on derivative instruments and servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR. Dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. We believe the presentation of Core Earnings including dollar roll income provides investors greater 20 transparency into our period-over-period financial performance and facilitates comparisons to peer REITs.
