Forward Looking Statements

3 To Our Stockholders Management Update “The Company’s investment portfolio was transformed over the course of 2021 by our continued pursuit of organically-sourced opportunities through proprietary loan and joint venture pipelines. This strategic focus culminated in the fourth quarter with record quarterly investment acquisitions and fundings, portfolio yields at the highest level in nearly 10 years and a stable book value. We believe a diversified portfolio growth strategy centered around recurring income streams will provide stability to earnings in 2022. With industry leading low Company recourse leverage and flexibility aided by our low-cost operating structure, we are taking a more offensive posture to pursue opportunities in the higher rate environment for continued portfolio growth. We believe this is the path to enhance earnings.” — Jason Serrano, Chief Executive Officer and President

30See Glossary and End Notes in the Appendix. Net Interest Income (4Q’21 vs 3Q’21) Net interest income was relatively flat for the quarter as compared to the previous quarter. Our continued investment in higher-yielding business purpose loans during the quarter contributed to the $0.9 million increase in single-family interest income offset by a $0.5 million decrease in multi- family interest income due to payoffs related to our preferred equity investments accounted for as loans. Although there was a decrease in income from preferred equity investments accounted for as loans, our income from preferred equity investments accounted for as equity increased during the period, contributing $7.2 million in preferred return during the quarter, which is included in income from equity investments in Slide 32. Interest expense on the single-family portfolio decreased by $0.3 million primarily due to the full quarter impact of 210 bps in interest cost savings related to our RPL strategy loan securitization that closed in the latter part of the third quarter. Interest expense related to mortgages payable on real estate increased as a result of the full quarter impact of multi-family joint venture investments consolidated in the previous quarter as well as additional multi-family joint venture investments entered into and consolidated in the current quarter.

Non-Interest Income (Loss) Quarter over Quarter Comparison Realized Gains (Losses), net (4Q’21 vs 3Q’21) Net realized gains on residential loans are primarily a result of loan prepayment activity that generated $5.1 million in net realized gains during the quarter. Net realized losses of $4.1 million on investment securities is primarily related to the sale of Agency RMBS during the quarter, which generated $3.5 million of realized losses, as well as $0.7 million of write-down recognized on a non-Agency RMBS. Unrealized Gains (Losses), net (4Q’21 vs 3Q’21) Certain credit markets saw continued credit spread tightening in the fourth quarter, which translated to improved pricing on our residential loan portfolio.

Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies, who may use different calculations.
