Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation. Growth remains firm even as the labor market decelerates, lowering interest rate volatility and renewing strong fixed income demand 6  U.S. economic resilience was supported by healthy consumer spending and an uptick in A.I.- related investment  The labor market has softened, with slower job growth than earlier estimates. However, muted layoffs and reduced immigration are also limiting the supply of workers, keeping the unemployment rate near levels consistent with full employment  Inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) 2% target, but the tariff impact has been less than expected  Markets now anticipate the Fed will lower rates toward 3% by the end of next year while tariff revenues have improved the fiscal outlook  Implied interest rate volatility has fallen to its lowest levels since 2022, supported by a patient Fed and minimal realized daily rate moves  Mortgage delinquencies are consistent with 2015-2019 levels, even as other consumer credit sector delinquency rates have plateaued at higher levels in recent quarters Interest rate volatility reached cycle lows Mortgage delinquencies remain stable Economic growth expected to remain solid Labor market shows continued softening 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2010 2015 2020 2025 Job Openings to Unemployed Ratio(3) 2019 Average Level(4) -1.0% 1.0% 3.0% 5.0% 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2023 2024 2025 Quarter GDP Growth, SAAR, %(1) Latest GDP Nowcast Estimates(2) 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5 8.5 9.5 2022 2023 2024 2025 Realized Implied 3m 10y Interest Rate Volatility, bps per day(5) 0 5 10 15 2010 2015 2020 2025 Mortgages/ HELOCs Credit Cards Autos Newly Delinquent Consumer Loans, Share of Out- standing, %(6)

Detailed endnotes and a glossary of defined terms are included at the end of this presentation.  Agency MBS nominal spreads to the Treasury curve reached the tightest levels in over three years but remain relatively attractive to the swap curve – A steady decline in rate volatility, increased fixed income fund inflows and strong CMO demand were all catalysts for the tightening – Demand from banks and overseas investors remains muted  Prepayment risk rose, particularly for recently originated generic collateral, as mortgage rates declined to the lowest levels in a year  Funding conditions are stable, and availability is ample even as SOFR remains modestly elevated  HPA turned negative year-to-date and was flat year- over-year on a national level(2) as low affordability and expanding inventory weigh on home prices  Residential credit spreads tightened modestly across all sectors, providing a supportive backdrop for securitization issuance that approached record highs  Nearly 30% increase in Non-Agency issuance volumes year-over-year(3) – Strongest growth continues to be seen in Non-QM with issuance 75% higher than the prior year  Strong fundamental asset performance has continued to support MSR returns, including: – Low prepayments – Muted delinquencies – Predictable and declining servicing costs – Stable float income  MSR valuations decreased modestly, driven by lower mortgage rates that were partially offset by a steeper yield curve and reduced implied volatility  Bulk supply increased by +50% quarter-over- quarter providing significant opportunity 15%–17% 13%–16% 11%–14%  Top 10 Agency MBS servicer with the lowest note rate among top 20 servicers(4)  MSR portfolio continued to exhibit exceptional credit characteristics – 757 weighted average FICO and 71% LTV ratio at origination  New strategic partnership with Pennymac enhances best-in-class network of servicing and recapture relationships  Continue to expand partnerships and remain well- positioned for opportunistic purchases  Correspondent channel has seen record whole loan production and Onslow Bay is one of the largest and most liquid sponsors of residential credit securitizations, representing ~20% of Non- QM issuance year-to-date(3)  Continued focus on disciplined credit framework – Locked pipeline represented a 765 weighted average FICO and 68% CLTV at origination  Whole loans and retained OBX securities continue to be preferred avenue for growth relative to third-party securities  Focus on active management of the portfolio with a bias towards up-in-coupon specified pools with call protection, which we currently believe provide the best relative value  Continued to grow the Agency CMBS portfolio, which provides attractive levered returns and an improved convexity profile  Focused on maintaining prudent leverage with substantial liquidity and a conservative hedge portfolio  Best-in-class portfolio analytics and modeling 7 Annaly’s Positioning

Business Update

 Annaly’s Agency portfolio is made up of high-quality and liquid securities, predominantly specified pools, TBAs and derivatives  Portfolio benefits from in-house proprietary analytics that identify emerging prepayment trends and a focus on durable cash flows  Diverse set of investment options within the Agency market, including Agency CMBS, which provides complementary duration and return profiles to Agency MBS  Comprehensive hedging capabilities through an array of products (swaps, swaptions, Treasuries) enhance portfolio performance  Access to deep and varied financing sources, including traditional bilateral repo, sponsored repo and proprietary broker-dealer repo Agency | Business Update Annaly’s Agency portfolio increased by nearly $8 billion in market value as accretive capital raised during the quarter was deployed predominantly into Agency MBS/CMBS given attractive returns 9 Source: Company filings.

The rise in prepayments from the recent decline in rates will be reflected in Q4 2025; however, we expect only a modest increase given the high concentration of specified pools in the portfolio Asset Type(1) Pass Through Coupon Type(2) Portfolio Quality(3) 30yr 92% ARM <1% ACMBS 7% IO/IIO/CMO <1% <=2.5% 2% 3.0% 3% 3.5% 7% 4.0% 8% 4.5% 14% 5.0% 14% 5.5% 25% 6.0% 20% >=6.5% 7% 39% 20% 40% 92% 30% 40% 33% 3% 15% 20% 18% 5% 3% 13% 20% 9% All 5.5% 6.0% >=6.5% High Quality Medium Quality Other Call Protected WALA Generic/Other
