MANAGEMENT REMARKS
"The fourth quarter of 2025 capped an exceptional year for AGNC shareholders," said Peter Federico, the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. "For the year, AGNC generated an impressive economic return on tangible common equity of 22.7%. Even more noteworthy, AGNC's total stock return in 2025 was 34.8% with dividends reinvested, nearly double the performance of the S&P 500 Index. This performance, on both a relative and absolute basis, demonstrates the value of AGNC's actively managed portfolio of Agency MBS and associated hedges.
"Agency MBS was the best performing domestic fixed income asset class in the fourth quarter and produced a total return for the year of 8.6%, the best full-year return for Agency MBS since 2002. This strong performance was driven by a confluence of several factors. The Federal Reserve shifted monetary policy toward lower short-term rates and greater accommodation, and interest rate volatility declined. In addition, uncertainty and potential risks associated with GSE reform were reduced as Administration officials communicated a framework focused on maintaining mortgage market stability and improving housing affordability. Collectively, these and other factors led to substantial outperformance of Agency MBS relative to other fixed income asset classes, reduced Agency MBS spread volatility, and caused mortgage spreads to benchmark rates to tighten over the course of the year.
"As we begin 2026, the macroeconomic themes of lower interest rate and Agency MBS spread volatility remain in place and provide a constructive investment backdrop for our business. Other positive developments, such as recent Agency MBS purchases by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other market initiatives contemplated by the Administration and the Federal Reserve, could be a catalyst for further mortgage spread tightening. These dynamics, coupled with a balanced supply-demand outlook, are supportive of our optimistic perspective on Agency MBS. Moreover, we believe that AGNC, as the largest pure-play Agency MBS mortgage REIT, is very well positioned in this environment to continue to generate favorable risk-adjusted returns with a substantial yield component for our shareholders."
"AGNC's 11.6% economic return on tangible common equity in the fourth quarter was comprised of $0.36 of dividends per common share and a $0.60 increase in tangible net book value per common share," said Bernice Bell, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "AGNC's net spread and dollar roll income per common share was $0.35 for the fourth quarter, unchanged from the prior quarter. During the quarter, AGNC issued over $350 million of common stock under our At-the-Market issuance program at a significant premium to our tangible net book value per share, generating meaningful accretion for our common shareholders. Finally, AGNC concluded the fourth quarter with 'at risk' leverage of 7.2x tangible equity and a significant liquidity position of $7.6 billion of unencumbered cash and Agency MBS, which constituted 64% of our tangible equity at quarter end."

*Except as noted below, average numbers for each period are weighted based on days on the Company's books and records. All percentages are annualized, unless otherwise noted.
Numbers in financial tables may not total due to rounding.
1.
Tangible net book value per common share excludes preferred stock liquidation preference and goodwill.
2. Table includes non-GAAP financial measures and/or amounts derived from non-GAAP measures. Refer to "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" for additional discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.
3.
"Catch-up" premium amortization cost/benefit is reported in interest income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
4.
Amount reported in gain (loss) on derivatives instruments and other securities, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
5. Dollar roll income represents the price differential, or "price drop," between the TBA price for current month settlement versus the TBA price for forward month settlement. Amount includes dollar roll
income (loss) on long and short TBA securities. Amount excludes TBA mark-to-market adjustments.
6. Represents periodic interest rate swap settlements. Amount excludes interest rate swap termination fees, mark-to-market adjustments and price alignment interest income (expense) on margin deposits.
7. Other interest income (expense), net includes interest income on cash and cash equivalents, price alignment interest income (expense) on margin deposits, and other miscellaneous interest income
(expense).
8. Investment securities include Agency MBS, CRT and non-Agency securities. Amounts exclude TBA and forward settling securities accounted for as derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets and statements of operations.
9. The average implied asset yield for TBA dollar roll transactions is extrapolated by adding the average TBA implied funding cost (Note 10) to the net dollar roll yield. The net dollar roll yield is
calculated by dividing dollar roll income (Note 5) by the average net TBA balance (cost basis) outstanding for the period.
10. The implied funding cost/benefit of TBA dollar roll transactions is determined using the "price drop" (Note 5) and market-based assumptions regarding the "cheapest-to-deliver" collateral that can be
delivered to satisfy the TBA contract, such as the anticipated collateral's weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity and projected 1-month CPR. The average implied funding cost/benefit for
all TBA transactions is weighted based on the Company's daily average TBA balance outstanding for the period.
11.
Amount calculated on a weighted average basis based on average balances outstanding during the period and their respective asset yield/funding cost.
12.
Represents interest rate swap periodic cost/income measured as a percent of total mortgage funding (Investment Securities Repo, other debt and net TBA securities (at cost)).
13.
Cost of funds excludes U.S. Treasury, option-based, and other supplemental hedges used to hedge a portion of the Company's interest rate risk and U.S. Treasury Repo.
14. Non-Agency MBS, at fair value, excludes $70 million, $69 million, $66 million, $63 million and $64 million of other mortgage credit investments held as of December 31, September 30, June 30 and March
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
15. Includes TBA dollar roll position and, if applicable, forward settling securities accounted for as derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.
Amount is net of short TBA securities.
16.
Average repurchase agreements and other debt excludes U.S. Treasury Repo.
17.
Average stockholders' equity calculated as the average month-ended stockholders' equity during the quarter.
18. Average tangible net book value "at risk" leverage during the period was calculated by dividing the sum of the daily weighted average Investment Securities Repo, other debt, and TBA and forward settling
securities (at cost) outstanding for the period by the sum of average stockholders' equity adjusted to exclude goodwill. Leverage excludes U.S. Treasury Repo.
19. Tangible net book value "at risk" leverage as of period end was calculated by dividing the sum of the amount outstanding under Investment Securities Repo, other debt, net TBA position and forward
settling securities (at cost), and net receivable /payable for unsettled investment securities outstanding by the sum of total stockholders' equity adjusted to exclude goodwill. Leverage excludes U.S.
Treasury Repo.
20.
Average TBA coupon is for the long TBA position only.
21.
Includes forward starting swaps not yet in effect as of reported period-end.
22. Economic return (loss) on tangible common equity represents the sum of the change in tangible net book value per common share and dividends declared on common stock during the period over the beginning
tangible net book value per common share.
23. The implied yields for Treasury futures are calculated based on the "cheapest-to-deliver" security that can be delivered to satisfy the futures contract identified at the time the futures contract was
initiated using data sourced from a third-party model.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements or from our historic performance due to a variety of important factors, including, without limitation, changes in monetary policy and other factors that affect interest rates, MBS spreads to benchmark interest rates, the forward yield curve, or prepayment rates; the availability and terms of financing; changes in the market value of the Company's assets; general economic or geopolitical conditions; liquidity and other conditions in the market for Agency securities and other financial markets; and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Copies are available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company's results of operations discussed in this release include certain non-GAAP financial information, including "net spread and dollar roll income"; "economic interest income" and "economic interest expense"; and the related per common share measures and certain financial metrics derived from such non-GAAP information, such as "cost of funds" and "net interest spread."
Net spread and dollar roll income available to common stockholders is measured as comprehensive income (loss) available (attributable) to common stockholders (GAAP measure) adjusted to: (i) exclude gains/losses on investment securities recognized through net income or other comprehensive income and gains/losses on derivative instruments and other securities (GAAP measures), (ii) exclude retrospective "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost due to changes in projected CPR estimates and (iii) include interest rate swap periodic income/cost, TBA dollar roll income and other miscellaneous interest income/expense. As defined, net spread and dollar roll income available to common stockholders represents net interest income/expense (GAAP measure) adjusted to exclude retrospective "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost due to changes in projected CPR estimates and to include TBA dollar roll income, interest rate swap periodic income/cost and other miscellaneous interest income/expense, less total operating expense (GAAP measure) and dividends on preferred stock (GAAP measure).
By providing users of the Company's financial information with such measures in addition to the related GAAP measures, the Company believes users have greater transparency into the information used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. The Company also believes that it is important for users of its financial information to consider information related to the Company's current financial performance without the effects of certain transactions that are not necessarily indicative of its current investment portfolio performance and operations.
Specifically, the Company believes the inclusion of TBA dollar roll income in its non-GAAP measures is meaningful as TBAs are economically equivalent to holding and financing generic Agency MBS using short-term repurchase agreements but are recognized under GAAP in gain/loss on derivative instruments in the Company's statement of operations. Similarly, the Company believes that the inclusion of periodic interest rate swap settlements in such measures, which are recognized under GAAP in gain/loss on derivative instruments, is meaningful as interest rate swaps are the primary instrument the Company uses to economically hedge against fluctuations in the Company's borrowing costs and inclusion of periodic interest rate swap settlements is more indicative of the Company's total cost of funds than interest expense alone. Finally, the Company believes the exclusion of "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost is meaningful as it excludes the cumulative effect from prior reporting periods due to current changes in future prepayment expectations and, therefore, exclusion of such "catch-up" cost or benefit is more indicative of the current earnings potential of the Company's investment portfolio.
However, because such measures are incomplete measures of the Company's financial performance and involve differences from results computed in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, results computed in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
A reconciliation of GAAP comprehensive income (loss) to non-GAAP "net spread and dollar roll income" is included in this release.
