• GAAP net income of $0.52 per common share • Core net operating income(1) of $0.25 per common share, for an adjusted return on common equity(1) of 11.0% • Common dividend declared of $0.25 per share, for an annualized 11.9% yield based on $8.39 closing stock price on November 3, 2014 • GAAP net interest spread of 2.03% and adjusted net interest spread(1) of 1.93% • Increase in book value per common share of $0.02 to $9.14 at September 30, 2014 • Decline during the quarter in overall leverage to 5.2x from 5.7x • Modest increase in portfolio CPR for the third quarter of 2014 to 13.2% from 11.1% for the second quarter of 2014 Third Quarter 2014 Highlights (1) Non-GAAP measures.

Key Financial Metrics • Core net operating income per share for the third quarter was $0.25 with a dividend declared of $0.25 per share • Investment portfolio purchases and repositioning on both investments and funding/hedging contributed to wider adjusted net interest spread in the quarter (1) Non-GAAP measures. See reconciliation on slides 28 and 29. • Book value per common share increased $0.02 in the third quarter as spread tightening and curve roll down offset impact of higher rates.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY 7

The decline in risk premiums across asset classes, when viewed against the backdrop of macro and market factors, has led to several portfolio adjustments: • $19.4 million in realized gains on Agency Multifamily CMBS between 3Q14 and 4Q14 • Actively managed our hedge position to reduce our interest rate risk exposure • Actively managed our repo relationships and funding portfolio resulting in 7bp decline in effective borrowing costs in 3Q14 • On balance, we have moved up in credit and increased the liquidity of the balance sheet Recent Actions Taken 8

Financing Details (as of September 30, 2014) (for the quarterly periods indicated) • Our weighted average contractual maturity was 106 days at September 30, 2014 compared to 70 days at June 30, 2014. • Our repurchase agreement balance was $3.2 billion at September 30, 2014 with 21 counterparties compared to $3.4 billion with 23 counterparties at June 30, 2014. We currently have repurchase agreements available to us with 33 counterparties. Repurchase Agreement and Effective Borrowing Costs Repurchase Agreement Amounts by Original Term to Maturity 11

Market Fundamentals: Global divergence but the cash is still in the system • US economy moving at a different pace than Europe or Japan. China economic condition is highly uncertain and could have a meaningful impact on global growth. • Fed has ended LSAP, now data dependent but looking to begin removal of unprecedented stimulus in the next 12-18 months. • Risk premiums are still low relative to historical levels as cash seeks to find higher returns – spreads are tighter across many risk assets even after brief correction in October. • Commercial real estate fundamentals are solid, especially in the multifamily sector. Competition in the primary lending markets and looser underwriting standards are a concern. • Single family housing recovery remains fragile; economic upturn more likely to benefit multifamily housing sector. • Funding costs have declined, reflecting balance sheet capacity and scarcity of high quality collateral. • GSE reform remains uncertain and no stand alone credit markets exist to replace GSEs. Market Technicals: Prices have been distorted by global central bank participation in the capital markets and the Fed’s exit is a key factor • Global reach for yield has substantially reduced risk adjusted returns, now compounded by diverging central bank actions. • Residential mortgage production continues to be lower than anticipated, which reinforces tighter spread environment but end of Fed’s LSAP will be a factor. • Conduit CMBS and agency multifamily supply is lower than expected and investor demand continues to be strong. Market Psychology: • Bond market participants continue to have a bearish bias, and the market is still net short today. Investment Environment 12

Going forward, we expect to: • Add investments within our disciplined framework to capital deployment – assessing risk adjusted returns in the context of net interest income and book value volatility; • Maintain leverage levels that respect the current environment and opportunistically reposition asset portfolio and hedges; and • Actively manage repo counterparty relationships and funding portfolio.

Hedging Details 19

• Long term, we see opportunities for investments in both residential and commercial assets and in markets previously dominated by the Fed/GSEs. • Private capital for the first time will need to replace the government as the dominant purchaser of MBS. • As the US housing system is reformed, there should be more opportunities to invest in residential credit. • The current market environment is complex. Uncertainty around economic growth, regulatory changes, market reaction and global market imbalances requires discipline and vigilance. • Our investment strategy and thesis have not changed – our portfolio continues to generate an above average dividend yield with a conservative profile. • We are committed to delivering solid and stable shareholder returns with manageable risk. Conclusion 20

APPENDIX 21

Drivers of EPS Investment Premium Allocation (as of end of period) 22

Drivers of Book Value Spread Risk • An asset’s “spread” is the market premium above a benchmark rate that reflects the relative riskiness of the asset versus the benchmark. • Spread risk is the uncertainty in pricing resulting from the expansion and contraction of the risk premium over the benchmark. • Spreads (and therefore prices) are impacted by the following factors: • Fundamentals: Probability of default, cash flow uncertainty • Technicals: Supply and demand for various assets • Psychology: Reflects the risk appetite of the market and the perceived riskiness of specific assets • Most mortgage REIT business models are inherently exposed to spread risk. At Dynex, we focus on all three aspects of spread risk. However, changes in pricing due to technicals and psychology are difficult to predict. We manage spread risk over the long-term through portfolio construction. 23

Accounting Disclosure Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures 28

Accounting Disclosure Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures (1) Rates shown are based on annualized interest expense amounts divided by average interest bearing liabilities. Recalculation of annualized cost of funds using total interest expense shown in the table may not be possible because certain expense items use a 360-day year for the calculation while others use actual number of days in the year. (2) Amount recorded as a portion of "interest expense" in accordance with GAAP related to the amortization of the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2013 as a result of the Company's discontinuation of hedge accounting. (3) Amount equals the net interest payments (including accrued amounts) related to interest rate derivatives during the period which are not included in "interest expense" in accordance with GAAP.
