7 Recent Financial Highlights Financial Measures per Common Share (1) Adjusted Net Interest Spread (1) 1.96% • Adjusted net interest spread(1) is the difference between the effective yield earned on our investments and the effective borrowing cost(1) of financing our investments. • Effective borrowing cost(1) includes net periodic interest expense related to our interest rate swaps which we use to economically hedge interest rate risk arising from our repurchase agreement borrowings used to finance our investments. • Differences in comprehensive income and core net operating income(1) result primarily from changes in the fair value of MBS and derivative instruments which are included in comprehensive income but excluded from core net operating income. (1) Core net operating income per common share, effective borrowing cost, and adjusted net interest spread are non-GAAP financial measures and are reconciled to their corresponding GAAP measures on slides 31-32.

8 • Divergence in trajectory of growth, inflation and central bank actions across the globe • Factors could cause changes in the data that make the timing and pace of Federal Reserve actions still highly uncertain. • Low overall yields: Global yields continue to remain low given macroeconomic and policy factors in place today. • Spreads still tight across many risk assets: Global risk premiums have declined further since early 2014, as an increasing level of cash seeks higher returns. • Surprises are likely: An environment with divergent growth and central bank actions could create volatility and opportunity. • Federal Reserve in action: If U.S. economic data unfolds with no negative surprises, Federal Reserve will likely act to raise rates · Potential risk to U.S. economic performance due to exogenous factors · Flatter yield curve possible in the U.S. Macroeconomic and Policy Factors Influence the Investment Environment

10 How is Dynex Positioned? Existing Portfolio is designed to perform in a variety of market environments: Model-estimated BV decline for rising rates1 (3.3%) in parallel +100 bps (1.3%) in parallel +50 bps (0.51%) in +25/+75 bps bear steepener Considering spread risk, we expect BV to decline an additional 5.5% for a 25 bp widening in spreads Diversified portfolio position Agency ARM hybrid securities have limited prepayment risk Agency multifamily CMBS have limited spread volatility Agency and non- agency CMBS IO are correlated to AAA Protection against rising financing costs 23% of hybrid ARM portfolio resets in 12 months or less Eurodollar futures and swaps protect against rising short rates 1 Assumes rates as of 03/31/2015 and 5.7X leverage as of 03/31/2015 Strong liquidity and capital position allows us to be opportunistic Investment opportunities arise when spreads widen, but sufficient capital and liquidity are needed to withstand these situations and be able to invest

14 Dynex Strategy Going Forward • Expect to make opportunistic investments and continue to grow balance sheet · Investment opportunities continue to be focused on CMBS • Agency multifamily CMBS, Agency CMBS IO, non-Agency CMBS IO, single family rental · Selective RMBS investing • Non-performing loan and re-performing loan securitizations • Agency hybrid ARMs · Opportunistically buy back shares of common stock if discount to book widens above our threshold • Maintain disciplined focus on risk position · Focus on liquidity and capital · Maintain flexibility to react to dynamic environment

15 • We believe there continues to be an opportunity to earn above average dividend yields within a mortgage REIT structure, such as Dynex · Dynex yields 11.7% versus the S&P average dividend yield of 1.9%(1) · Dynex yields 11.7% versus the average equity REIT dividend yield of 3.9% and the average commercial mortgage REIT dividend yield of 7.6% (1) · Dynex offers a compelling value proposition in an environment of low overall returns (for example the U.S. 10 year yields under 2% and some global yields are negative) · Our investment strategy and thesis have not changed – our portfolio continues to generate an above average dividend yield with a conservative profile • 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 U.S. 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 • We are committed to delivering solid and stable shareholder returns with manageable risk Conclusion (1) As of April 27, 2015

25 Drivers of Book Value Agency RMBS Historical Spreads Source: Company data

26 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.

Accounting Disclosure Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures

32 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.
