Management Update "The end of an economic cycle often generates heightened macroeconomic volatility as we approach inflection points in the market. Over the past few months, market developments may be illustrative of these trends. Volatility was high in the latter half of last year, then shifted lower as the Fed pivoted to a more dovish stance at the end of 2023. However, as 2024 began, longer-term Treasury yields rose, accompanied by a shift in the intermediate yield curve towards a more positive slope due to renewed inflation concerns. A prevailing issue confounding rate expectations arises from U.S. government deficit spending that has failed to subside to sustainable levels. An increased U.S. debt burden has the potential to crowd out market investment activity. In addition, a dislocated commercial real estate market with approximately $2.8 trillion of loans maturing over the next four years presents significant challenges, particularly for banks. Liquidity in the credit markets has the potential to become strained pushing out the return horizon for investors and providing more attractive entry points at higher returns for NYMT. In hindsight, the past decision to reduce portfolio risk and increase liquidity turned out to be premature and consequently lowered Company earnings throughout 2023. However, we believe this approach will yield improved results not only this year, but has the potential to enhance results in the years ahead as trillions of dollars of maturing commercial real estate debt is sorted out." — Jason Serrano, Chief Executive Officer To Our Stockholders 3

Strategic Shift • NYMT has shifted its focus to portfolio growth in 2023 after a significant reduction in investment activity in 2022 due to concerns over the Fed's aggressive rate hikes causing market distress. • Acquisitions have been concentrated in Agency RMBS to take advantage of historically attractive spreads and a favorable liquidity profile in the event of further market dislocations. • BPL- Bridge purchase activity has also steadily increased throughout 2023.

Single-Family Agency RMBS Market Market • In the quarter, mortgages rallied into year end, swept up by the market’s risk-on sentiment in anticipation of forthcoming rate cuts and the Fed’s dovish pivot. • Mortgage spreads were tighter in the quarter given the decline in interest rate volatility and underlying rates. • Although mortgage spreads are still at historically elevated levels, the pace of our Agency RMBS acquisitions slowed given the sharp spread declines in the quarter.

Single-Family Agency RMBS Strategy Strategy • The increase in the Agency RMBS allocation has created more diversification in the portfolio, while allowing for accessible liquidity to react to market dislocations. • By ramping up the portfolio over the course of 2023, we have constructed a higher coupon portfolio with an attractive spread and carry profile. • The Agency RMBS portfolio is concentrated primarily in specified pools with low pay-ups for additional prepayment protection.

Strategy • NYMT is targeting the segment of the BPL-Bridge market that has the most liquidity via the financing or sale of the underlying property. • We are limiting our go forward exposure to more niche sectors within BPL-Bridge, such as ground-up construction loans and loans collateralized by multi-family properties. • We are also targeting experienced borrowers with a low LTV profile and light rehab requirements. • Life-to-date UPB invested in BPL-Bridge is $3.5 billion.

NYMT has reduced exposure to non-Agency RMBS due to better risk-return profiles elsewhere. SFR • Single-family rental properties 3% $152 7% $77 1.0x 1.0x − Home price trends have been positive due to low supply of homes in the market.

2024 Focus Utilize a Strong and Flexible Balance Sheet to Capture Long-Term Value: • Maximize liquidity with low-cost operating structure to afford a patient investment approach. • Continue with increased exposure to principal- protected, highly liquid assets to offset credit portfolio run-off and to capture opportunities if the economy slows. • Invest through the strength of our asset management platform to unlock value. The Company is focused on opportunities in a market undergoing a structural landscape change. Balance sheet growth is expected to continue with Agency securities, short-term bridge loans, and structured derivatives. In this new environment, success may be achieved through organic creation of liquidity, tactical asset management, and prudent liability management. 24

Yields By Strategy Quarter over Quarter Comparison Net Interest Spread (4Q’23 vs 3Q’23) Net Interest Spread for the fourth quarter was 1.02%, up 12 bps from the prior quarter primarily attributable to an increase in yield on average interest earning assets of 18 bps due to continued investment in our Agency RMBS portfolio and an increase in the average coupon rate of business purpose loans acquired during the quarter. The increase was partially offset by an increase in average financing cost of 6 bps, primarily as a result of an increase in base interest rates related to our repurchase agreements and interest rate step-up on a residential loan securitization that occurred at the beginning of the quarter.

Adjusted Net Interest Income* Quarter over Quarter Comparison Adjusted Net Interest Income* (4Q’23 vs 3Q’23) The increase in Adjusted Interest Income can be primarily attributed to an increase in average interest earning assets due to increased investment in Agency RMBS and business purpose loans in the fourth quarter. The increase in Adjusted Interest Expense can be attributed to additional financing of Agency RMBS purchases and residential loans and an increase in base interest rates related to our repurchase agreements. This increase was partially offset by the net interest benefit of our interest rate swaps.

Net Loss from Real Estate Quarter over Quarter Comparison Net Loss from Real Estate (4Q’23 vs 3Q’23) The decrease in net loss from real estate during the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses as a result of sales of multi- family real estate assets held by consolidated joint venture equity investments in the prior quarters. 1.

Other Income (Loss) Quarter over Quarter Comparison Realized (Losses) Gains, Net (4Q’23 vs 3Q’23) Net realized losses on investment securities in the fourth quarter are primarily related to the sale of non-Agency RMBS and CMBS, as well as the write-down of a non-Agency RMBS investment. Net realized losses on residential loans is primarily related to losses incurred on foreclosed properties. Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net (4Q’23 vs 3Q’23) Unrealized gains recognized in the fourth quarter can be attributed to a decrease in interest rates and tighter credit spreads, which impacted the fair value of our Agency RMBS, residential loans and first loss subordinated securities we own in Consolidated SLST.

Other Income (Loss) Quarter over Quarter Comparison Impairment of Real Estate (4Q’23 vs 3Q’23) The fair value of real estate in disposal group held for sale decreased in the fourth quarter due to lower valuations as a result of lower net operating income and slightly wider cap rates, resulting in additional impairment losses recognized during the quarter. Other Income (4Q’23 vs 3Q’23) The increase in other income in the fourth quarter is primarily related to the gain on sale of a multi-family real estate asset in disposal group held for sale.

We reclassified these investments to held and used, remeasured the real estate assets held by the joint venture equity investments at the lower of fair value or carrying amount before the real estate assets were classified as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the real estate assets been continuously classified as held and used, and recorded a loss on reclassification of disposal group.

Appendix 37

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Net Interest Income and Net Interest Spread In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this supplemental presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted interest income, adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest income, yield on average interest earning assets, average financing cost, net interest spread, undepreciated earnings and adjusted book value per common share. Our management team believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered with our GAAP financial statements, provide supplemental information useful for investors as it enables them to evaluate our current performance and trends using the metrics that management uses to operate our business. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies, who may use different calculations. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this supplemental presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. Financial results for the Company during a given period include the net interest income earned on our investment portfolio of residential loans, RMBS, CMBS, ABS and preferred equity investments and mezzanine loans, where the risks and payment characteristics are equivalent to and accounted for as loans (collectively, our “interest earning assets”). Adjusted net interest income and net interest spread (both supplemental non-GAAP financial measures) are impacted by factors such as our cost of financing, including our hedging costs, and the interest rate that our investments bear. Furthermore, the amount of premium or discount paid on purchased investments and the prepayment rates on investments will impact adjusted net interest income as such factors will be amortized over the expected term of such investments. We provide the following non-GAAP financial measures, in total and by investment category, for the respective periods: • Adjusted Interest Income – calculated as our GAAP interest income reduced by the interest expense recognized on Consolidated SLST CDOs, • Adjusted Interest Expense – calculated as our GAAP interest expense reduced by the interest expense recognized on Consolidated SLST CDOs and adjusted to include the net interest component of interest rate swaps, • Adjusted Net Interest Income – calculated by subtracting Adjusted Interest Expense from Adjusted Interest Income, • Yield on Average Interest Earning Assets – calculated as the quotient of our Adjusted Interest Income and our average interest earning assets and excludes all Consolidated SLST assets other than those securities owned by the Company, • Average Financing Cost – calculated as the quotient of our Adjusted Interest Expense and the average outstanding balance of our interest bearing liabilities, excluding Consolidated SLST CDOs and mortgages payable on real estate, and • Net Interest Spread – calculated as the difference between our Yield on Average Interest Earning Assets and our Average Financing Cost. These measures remove the impact of Consolidated SLST that we consolidate in accordance with GAAP and include the net interest component of interest rate swaps utilized to hedge the variable cash flows associated with our variable-rate borrowings, which is included in gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. With respect to Consolidated SLST, we only include the interest income earned by the Consolidated SLST securities that are actually owned by the Company as the Company only receives income or absorbs losses related to the Consolidated SLST securities actually owned by the Company. We include the net interest component of interest rate swaps in these measures to more fully represent the cost of our financing strategy. We provide the non-GAAP financial measures listed above because we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with additional detail and enhance their understanding of our interest earning asset yields, in total and by investment category, relative to the cost of our financing and the underlying trends within our portfolio of interest earning assets. In addition to the foregoing, our management team uses these measures to assess, among other things, the performance of our interest earning assets in total and by asset, possible cash flows from our interest earning assets in total and by asset, our ability to finance or borrow against the asset and the terms of such financing and the composition of our portfolio of interest earning assets, including acquisition and disposition determinations. Prior to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we also reduced GAAP interest expense by the interest expense on mortgages payable on real estate. Commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we reclassified the interest expense on mortgages payable on real estate to expenses related to real estate on our consolidated statements of operations and, as such, it is no longer included in GAAP interest expense. Prior period disclosures have been conformed to the current period presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Undepreciated Earnings (Loss) Undepreciated Earnings (Loss) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure defined as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Company's common stockholders excluding the Company's share in depreciation expense and lease intangible amortization expense related to operating real estate, net. By excluding these non-cash adjustments from our operating results, we believe that the presentation of Undepreciated Earnings (Loss) provides a consistent measure of our operating performance and useful information to investors to evaluate the effective net return on our portfolio. In addition, we believe that presenting Undepreciated Earnings (Loss) enables our investors to measure, evaluate, and compare our operating performance to that of our peers. A reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Company's common stockholders to Undepreciated Earnings (Loss) for the periods indicated is presented below: Dollar Amounts in Thousands (except per share data) 4Q'23 3Q'23 2Q'23 1Q'23 4Q'22 Net income (loss) attributable to Company's common stockholders $ 31,465 $ (94,819) $ (37,202) $ 10,521 $ (48,076) Add: Depreciation expense on operating real estate 2,232 2,182 2,180 2,120 1,960 Amortization of lease intangibles related to operating real estate — — — — — Undepreciated Earnings (Loss) $ 33,697 $ (92,637) $ (35,022) $ 12,641 $ (46,116) Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 90,683 90,984 91,193 91,314 92,548 Undepreciated Earnings (Loss) per common share $ 0.37 $ (1.02) $ (0.38) $ 0.14 $ (0.50) See Glossary and End Notes in the Appendix. 42

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Book Value Per Common Share Previously, we presented undepreciated book value per common share as a non-GAAP financial measure. Commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we discontinued disclosure of undepreciated book value per common share and instead present Adjusted Book Value per common share, also a non- GAAP financial measure. When presented in prior periods, undepreciated book value was calculated by excluding from GAAP book value the Company's share of cumulative depreciation and lease intangible amortization expenses related to real estate held at the end of the period. Since we began disclosing undepreciated book value, we identified additional items as materially affecting our book value and believe they should also be incorporated in order to provide a more useful non- GAAP measure for investors to evaluate our current performance and trends and facilitate the comparison of our financial performance and Adjusted Book Value per common share to that of our peers. Accordingly, we calculate Adjusted Book Value per common share by making the following adjustments to GAAP book value: (i) exclude the Company's share of cumulative depreciation and lease intangible amortization expenses related to real estate held at the end of the period for which an impairment has not been recognized, (ii) exclude the cumulative adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interests to estimated redemption value and (iii) adjust our liabilities that finance our investment portfolio to fair value. Our rental property portfolio includes fee simple interests in single-family rental homes and joint venture equity interests in multi-family properties owned by Consolidated Real Estate VIEs. By excluding our share of cumulative non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses related to real estate held at the end of the period for which an impairment has not been recognized, adjusted book value reflects the value, at their undepreciated basis, of our single-family rental properties and joint venture equity investments that the Company has determined to be recoverable at the end of the period. Additionally, in connection with third party ownership of certain of the non-controlling interests in certain of the Consolidated Real Estate VIEs, we record redeemable non-controlling interests as mezzanine equity on our consolidated balance sheets. The holders of the redeemable non-controlling interests may elect to sell their ownership interests to us at fair value once a year, subject to annual minimum and maximum amount limitations, resulting in an adjustment of the redeemable non-controlling interests to fair value that is accounted for by us as an equity transaction in accordance with GAAP. A key component of the estimation of fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests is the estimated fair value of the multi-family apartment properties held by the applicable Consolidated Real Estate VIEs. However, because the corresponding real estate assets are not reported at fair value and thus not adjusted to reflect unrealized gains or losses in our consolidated financial statements, the cumulative adjustment of the redeemable non-controlling interests to fair value directly affects our GAAP book value. By excluding the cumulative adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interests to estimated redemption value, Adjusted Book Value more closely aligns the accounting treatment applied to these real estate assets and reflects our joint venture equity investment at its undepreciated basis. The substantial majority of our remaining assets are financial or similar instruments that are carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value option in our consolidated financial statements. However, unlike our use of the fair value option for the assets in our investment portfolio, the CDOs issued by our residential loan securitizations, senior unsecured notes and subordinated debentures that finance our investment portfolio assets are carried at amortized cost in our consolidated financial statements. By adjusting these financing instruments to fair value, Adjusted Book Value reflects the Company's net equity in investments on a comparable fair value basis. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Book Value per common share provides a more useful measure for investors and us than undepreciated book value as it provides a more consistent measure of our value, allows management to effectively consider our financial position and facilitates the comparison of our financial performance to that of our peers. The following slide presents a reconciliation of GAAP book value to Adjusted Book Value and calculation of Adjusted Book Value per common share as of the dates indicated.
