Two Harbors Investment Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Delivered Stable Results Amidst Heightened Volatility

NEW YORK--()--Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), an MSR + Agency RMBS real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Quarterly Summary

  • Reported book value of $15.19 per common share, and declared a second quarter common stock dividend of $0.45 per share, representing a flat quarterly economic return on book value. For the first six months of 2024, generated a 5.8% total economic return on book value.(1)
  • Generated Comprehensive Income of $0.5 million, or $0.00 per weighted average basic common share.
  • Repurchased $10.0 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026.
  • Launched direct-to-consumer recapture originations platform.
  • Actively managed MSR portfolio through an opportunistic commitment to sell $6.4 billion unpaid principal balance (UPB).
  • Settled $327.8 million UPB of MSR through flow-sale acquisitions.
  • Post quarter-end, settled an MSR bulk acquisition of $1.6 billion UPB and committed to purchase an additional $1.0 billion UPB through a bulk acquisition.
  • Post quarter-end, increased at-the-market common stock offering program by 11.2 million shares, bringing total authorization to 15.0 million shares of common stock.

This quarter again demonstrates the benefits of our unique portfolio construction of MSR paired with Agency RMBS,” stated Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President and CEO. “We have strategically allocated more than 60% of our capital to MSR, which in this environment carries low duration and low spread volatility. At our operating mortgage company, RoundPoint, we completed the transfer of all our servicing, and RoundPoint now services over 900,000 loans. We also successfully launched our direct-to-consumer recapture originations platform, and we intend to begin offering a suite of ancillary and home equity products to our customers, including second lien loans, in the third quarter.”

MSR performed well in the second quarter, with valuations being bolstered by the current dynamics of lower supply and high demand. Given the strong bids in the market, we saw some of the largest MSR buyers of the past several years turn into sellers, and we actively managed our MSR portfolio by being both a seller and a buyer of servicing in the quarter,” stated Nick Letica, Two Harbors’ Chief Investment Officer. “Nominal spreads for Agency RMBS are still wide on a historical basis, and possess tightening potential in a lower volatility environment, which we expect will be associated with the beginning of a Fed cutting cycle.”

(2)

Defined as total borrowings to fund Agency and non-Agency investment securities and MSR, divided by total equity.

(3)

Defined as total borrowings to fund Agency and non-Agency investment securities and MSR, plus the implied debt on net TBA cost basis and net payable (receivable) for unsettled RMBS, divided by total equity.

(4)

Excludes any repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasuries.

(5)

Includes amortization of debt issuance costs.

(6)

The cost of financing on interest rate swaps held to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the company’s outstanding borrowings includes interest spread income/expense and amortization of upfront payments made or received upon entering into interest rate swap agreements and is calculated using average borrowings balance as the denominator.

(7)

The cost of financing on U.S. Treasury futures held to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the company’s outstanding borrowings is calculated using average borrowings balance as the denominator. 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.

(8)

The implied financing benefit/cost of dollar roll income on TBAs is calculated using the average cost basis of TBAs as the denominator. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. TBAs are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP.

________________

(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/reversed in connection with the company’s acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC.

(5)

EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive 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.
