DYNEX CAPITAL, INC. REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS
GLEN ALLEN, Va. -- Dynex Capital, Inc. (NYSE: DX) reported its third quarter 2018 results today. As previously announced, the Company's quarterly conference call to discuss these results is today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and may be accessed via telephone in the U.S. at 1-866-393-4306 (internationally at 1-734-385-2616) using conference ID 4066216 or by live webcast, which includes a slide presentation, under “Investor Center” on the Company's website (www.dynexcapital.com).
Third Quarter 2018 Highlights

• | Comprehensive income of $0.01 per common share and net income of $0.39 per common share

• | Core net operating income, a non-GAAP measure, of $0.19 per common share

• | Book value per common share of $6.75 at September 30, 2018 compared to $6.93 at June 30, 2018

• | Leverage including TBA dollar roll positions increased to 6.7x shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2018 compared to 6.1x at June 30, 2018 due to growth in the investment portfolio

• | Net interest spread and adjusted net interest spread of 1.08% and 1.41%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 1.07% and 1.51%, respectively, for the prior quarter

Management's Remarks
Byron Boston, President and CEO commented, “Core net operating income improved this quarter as we increased our investment portfolio and benefited from the diversification of our investment strategy in residential and commercial investments. In particular, our CMBS IO portfolio continues to outperform on a total return basis. Total economic return to common shareholders was flat for the quarter as rising interest rates and a flattening yield curve led to a reduction in our book value, offsetting our common stock dividend.”
Mr. Boston continued, “We believe that the Federal Reserve is getting closer to the end of this policy tightening cycle with global markets already experiencing the negative impact of higher interest rates. In our view, as we have noted before, gathering macroeconomic headwinds from rapidly increasing amounts of global debt, emerging stress in financial markets, and fiscal policy concerns will ultimately limit how high interest rates in the U.S. may go on a sustained basis. Nonetheless, in the short-term we might see upward pressure on rates based on evolving economic data and technical factors. With this backdrop,
1

we believe the higher liquidity of an Agency MBS portfolio is preferable for generating attractive shareholder returns. As the interest rate environment becomes more favorable, we expect return opportunities to further improve."
Book Value Per Common Share
Book value per common share decreased $(0.18), or (2.0%), to $6.75 at September 30, 2018 from $6.93 at June 30, 2018 primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on the fair value of the Company's investments versus its hedging portfolio. The decline in shareholders' equity since June 30, 2018 resulting from unrealized losses on MBS was partially offset by raising capital of $13.4 million during the third quarter. The Company has a year-to-date total economic loss on book value per common share of (0.7)%.
Third Quarter 2018 Earnings Summary
Comprehensive income to common shareholders was $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2018 versus comprehensive income to common shareholders of $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. Higher interest rates principally drove the decline in comprehensive income as unrealized losses on MBS increased while gains on related hedges decreased. Net income to common shareholders increased $9.9 million to $22.6 million for the third quarter compared to $12.7 million for the second quarter of 2018 due primarily to lower loss on sales of investments. Net interest income increased $0.4 million from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018 due to improved yields on investments as a result of recent purchases of higher yielding fixed rate MBS and increased prepayment penalty compensation earned on CMBS IO.
Core net operating income to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, was $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 versus $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2018 due to an increase in adjusted net interest income of $0.5 million during the third quarter. Adjusted net interest income, a non-GAAP measure, increased for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the prior quarter from the improved investment yields noted above, and also from a higher average volume of TBA dollar roll transactions that generated an increase in TBA drop income, partially offset by a lower benefit from net periodic interest on interest rate swaps for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the prior quarter as discussed further below.

The Company's MBS portfolio including TBA dollar roll positions as of September 30, 2018 increased 13% since June 30, 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, we purchased $695.2 million of investments which consisted primarily of higher coupon, higher yielding 30-year fixed-rate Agency RMBS, and we sold $118.4 million of Agency CMBS, CMBS IO, and U.S. Treasuries. The Company's repurchase agreement borrowings including payables for unsettled securities as of September 30, 2018 increased 14% to $2.9 billion compared to $2.5 billion at June 30, 2018, which resulted in leverage including TBA dollar roll positions of 6.7 times shareholder's equity compared to 6.1 times at June 30, 2018.

(2) | Amount represents net periodic interest benefit of effective interest rate swaps outstanding during the period and excludes realized and unrealized gains and losses from changes in fair value of derivatives.

(3) | Represents a non-GAAP measure.

Net interest income and net interest spread increased for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the prior quarter due primarily to having a larger average balance of higher yielding fixed-rate Agency RMBS and higher prepayment compensation on CMBS IO, which were almost entirely offset by higher cost of repurchase agreement financing as a result of increasing short-term interest rates. Adjusted net interest spread for the third quarter of 2018 decreased 10 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily because the Company's net receive rate on its interest rate swaps declined 8 basis points, resulting in a lower net periodic interest benefit. In addition, although TBA drop income was $0.6 million higher during the third quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2018 as a result of a larger volume of TBA dollar roll transactions, the implied financing rate on these transactions increased approximately 37 basis points from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018. As a result, the net yield from TBA dollar roll transactions declined 32 basis points to 1.61% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 1.93% for the prior quarter.

Hedging Summary
The Company's interest rate swaps had a positive net impact on comprehensive income of $25.0 million during the third quarter of 2018. Interest rate swaps with a notional balance of $250.0 million were terminated during the third quarter, resulting in a net realized gain of $2.6 million, and interest rate swaps with a notional balance of $380.0 million at a weighted average pay-fixed rate of 2.94% were added during the third quarter. The following table provides information related to the Company's average borrowings outstanding and interest rate swaps effective for the periods indicated:

| Three Months Ended
($ in thousands) | September 30, 2018 |  | June 30, 2018
Average repurchase agreement borrowings outstanding | $ | 2,564,863 |  |  | $ | 2,716,097 |
Average net TBAs outstanding - at cost (1) | 982,665 |  |  | 722,005 |
Average borrowings and net TBAs outstanding | $ | 3,547,528 |  |  | $ | 3,438,102 |
Average notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding (excluding forward starting swaps) | $ | 2,502,609 |  |  | $ | 2,707,967 |
Ratio of average interest rate swaps to average borrowings and net TBAs outstanding (1) | 0.7 |  | 0.8
Average interest rate swap net pay-fixed rate (excluding forward starting swaps) (2) | 2.09 | % |  | 1.83 | %
Average interest rate swap net receive-floating rate (2) | 2.32 | % |  | 2.15 | %
Average interest rate swap net pay/(receive) rate | (0.23 | )% |  | (0.32 | )%

(1) | Because the Company executes TBA dollar roll transactions, which economically represent the purchase and financing of fixed-rate Agency RMBS, the average TBAs outstanding are included in the ratio calculation.

(2) | Includes one receive-fixed interest rate swap with a notional balance of $100.0 million at a rate of 1.70%.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company incurred a loss of $(0.2) million on Eurodollar futures used to hedge interest rate risk. Eurodollar futures with a notional balance of $650.0 million and a weighted average rate of 1.86% matured during the third quarter of 2018, for which the Company realized a gain of $0.8 million over the life of contract. Management views Eurodollar futures as economically similar to interest rate swaps, but unlike interest rate swaps, Eurodollar futures do not incur periodic interest or similar costs/benefits and therefore do not have an impact on core net operating income to common shareholders. The Company had no Eurodollar futures outstanding at September 30, 2018.
The aggregate notional amount of currently effective and forward-starting interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2018 was $2.7 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The following table summarizes the weighted average notional amount and rate of interest rate hedges (including Eurodollar futures) held as of September 30, 2018:

|  | September 30, 2018

Company Description
Dynex Capital, Inc. is an internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, which invests in mortgage assets on a leveraged basis. The Company invests in Agency and non-Agency RMBS, CMBS, and CMBS IO. Additional information about Dynex Capital, Inc. is available at www.dynexcapital.com.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the Company's operating results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including core net operating income to common shareholders (including per common share), adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest income and the related metrics adjusted cost of funds and adjusted net interest spread. Because these measures are used in the Company's internal analysis of financial and operating performance, management believes that they provide greater transparency to our investors of management's view of our economic performance. Management also believes the presentation of these measures, when analyzed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP operating results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate and compare the performance of the Company to that of its peers, although the Company's presentation of its non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. Schedules reconciling core net operating income to common shareholders, adjusted interest expense, and adjusted net interest income to GAAP financial measures are provided as a supplement to this release.
Management views core net operating income to common shareholders as an estimate of the Company's financial performance excluding changes in fair value of its investments and derivatives. In addition to the non-GAAP reconciliation set forth in the supplement to this release, which derives core net operating income to common shareholders from GAAP net income to common shareholders as the nearest GAAP equivalent measure, core net operating income to common shareholders can also be determined by adjusting net interest income to include interest rate swap periodic interest costs, drop income on TBA dollar roll positions, general and administrative expenses, and preferred dividends. Management includes drop income, which is included in "gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net" on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income, in core net operating income and in adjusted net interest income because TBA dollar roll positions are viewed by management as economically equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. Management also includes periodic interest costs from its interest rate swaps, which are also included in "gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net", in adjusted net interest expense, and in adjusted net interest income because interest rate swaps are used by the Company to economically hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its borrowing costs from repurchase agreements, and including periodic interest costs from interest rate swaps is a helpful indicator of the Company’s total cost of financing in addition to GAAP interest expense. However, these non-GAAP measures do not provide a full perspective on our results of operations, and therefore, their usefulness is limited. For example, these non-GAAP measures do not include gains or losses from available-for-sale investments, changes in fair value of and costs of terminating interest rate swaps, as well as realized and unrealized gains or losses from any instrument used by management to economically hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its portfolio and book value per common share, such as Eurodollar futures. As a result, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP results as reported on its consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
