Two Harbors Investment Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Completed Acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC

Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), an Agency RMBS + MSR real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Quarterly Summary

  • Reported book value of $15.36 per common share, and declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.45 per share, representing a (3.5)% quarterly economic return on book value.(1)
  • Incurred Comprehensive Loss of $56.8 million, or $(0.61) per weighted average basic common share.
  • Generated Income Excluding Market-Driven Value Changes (IXM) of $0.51 per weighted average basic common share.(2)
  • Closed acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC, which is expected to be accretive to pre-tax earnings in 2024 of $25-30 million through additional revenues and cost savings achieved by vertically integrating self-servicing capabilities.
  • Settled $472.2 million unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSR through flow-sale acquisitions.

“In the third quarter, fixed income markets fluctuated as participants tried to understand the Fed’s future path. The correlation of higher rates, higher volatility and wider mortgage spreads remained in place, which impacted our book value and returns,” stated Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President and CEO. “Notwithstanding the continued market volatility, the highlight of our quarter was undoubtedly closing the acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC. We anticipate that bringing our servicing in-house will be accretive to pre-tax earnings in 2024 by $25-30 million. We believe this is a tremendous opportunity for our stakeholders and for the growth of both Two Harbors and RoundPoint.”

“As interest rates increased, we actively managed our Agency RMBS exposure by rotating into higher coupons. Our MSR portfolio continued to perform well, with prepayment speeds declining quarter-over-quarter and coming in below expectations, which is a tailwind to this strategy,” stated Nick Letica, Two Harbors’ Chief Investment Officer. “While elevated interest rate and spread volatility can pose near-term challenges to the RMBS sector, the combination of wide spreads and longer-term tightening potential make this a very attractive time to invest in our assets. Additionally, with the weighted average coupon of our MSR so far out of the money, we have a low convexity, low duration asset with stable cash flows. The combination of these two attractive assets leads to our belief that we can generate a low-to-mid- teens return in this environment.”

___________

(1)

The market-driven value changes adjustment for each of RMBS and other Agency securities, MSR, swap and swaptions and TBA represents unexpected price changes for the referenced period. As defined, the calculation of IXM includes modeled price changes that are measured daily based on a “Realized Forwards” methodology, which includes the assumption that spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility factored into the previous day ending fair value are unchanged. Unexpected price changes represent the differences between (a) actual spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility, and (b) the spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility that were factored into the previous day ending fair value. Unexpected price changes are measured daily and used to determine the portion of actual market price changes not attributable to modeled price changes. The reported market-driven value changes adjustment for each of RMBS and other Agency securities, MSR, swap and swaptions and TBA is the sum of all daily unexpected price changes for the referenced period. Please refer to end notes (2) through (5) below for further information.

(2)

RMBS and other Agency securities market-driven value changes refers to the sum of interest income, realized and unrealized gains and losses on RMBS and other Agency securities, less the sum of the realization of RMBS and other Agency securities cash flows which incorporates actual prepayments, changes in RMBS and other Agency securities accrued interest, and modeled price changes. Modeled price changes are measured daily based on a “Realized Forwards” methodology, which includes the assumption that spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility factored into the previous day ending fair value are unchanged. RMBS and other Agency securities includes inverse interest-only Agency RMBS which are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP.

(3)

MSR market-driven value changes refers to the sum of servicing income, servicing expenses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on MSR, less the sum of the realization of MSR cash flows which incorporates actual prepayments, servicing income and servicing expenses, and modeled price changes. Modeled price changes are measured daily based on a “Realized Forwards” methodology, which includes the assumption that spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility factored into the previous day ending fair value are unchanged.

(4)

Swap and swaption market-driven value changes refers to the net interest spread and realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swap and swaption agreements, less the swaps daily IXM that is equal to the previous day ending fair value multiplied by the overnight SOFR and swaptions daily IXM that is equal to the previous day ending fair value multiplied by the realized forward rate.

(5)

TBA market-driven value changes refers to the total realized and unrealized gains and losses, less the daily zero-volatility OAS less the implied repo spread, multiplied by the previous day ending fair value.

(6)

Certain operating expenses predominantly consists of expenses incurred in connection with the company’s ongoing litigation with PRCM Advisers LLC. It also includes certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the company’s acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC.

(7)

Income Excluding Market-Driven Value Changes, or IXM, is a non-GAAP measure defined as total comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders, excluding market-driven value changes on the aggregate portfolio, provision for income taxes associated with market-driven value changes, certain operating expenses and gains on the repurchase and retirement of preferred stock and convertible senior notes. As defined, IXM includes the realization of portfolio cash flows which incorporates actual prepayments, changes in portfolio accrued interest, servicing income and servicing expenses, and certain modeled price changes. These modeled price changes are measured daily based on a “Realized Forwards” methodology, which includes the assumption that spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility factored into the previous day ending fair value are unchanged. Assumptions for spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure, volatility and the previous day ending fair value include applicable market data, data from third-party brokers and pricing vendors and management’s assessment. This applies to RMBS, MSR and derivatives, as applicable, and is net of all operating expenses and provision for income taxes associated with IXM. The purpose of presenting IXM, and the various adjustments related to market-driven value changes and certain legal expenses and acquisition transaction costs, is to provide management, analysts and investors with a profit and loss attribution that allows them to better understand the sources of returns from the company’s investment portfolio, operating expenses and tax expenses. IXM provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers. IXM is one of several measures the company’s board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on the company’s common stock and should not be considered an indication of taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends the company may declare.

(1)

MSR amortization refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio, which is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value.

(2)

TBA dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements.

(3)

U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements.

(4)

Certain operating expenses predominantly consists of expenses incurred in connection with the company’s ongoing litigation with PRCM Advisers LLC. It also includes certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the company’s acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC.

(5)

EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate portfolio, gains and losses on repurchases of preferred stock, provision for (reversal of) credit losses, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock and certain operating expenses. As defined, EAD includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, U.S. Treasury futures income, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR and certain cash related operating expenses. EAD provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers. EAD is one of several measures our board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on our common stock and should not be considered an indication of our taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends we may declare.
