DYNEX CAPITAL, INC. REPORTS

GLEN ALLEN, Va. -- Dynex Capital, Inc. (NYSE: DX) reported its fourth quarter and 2019 full year results today. As previously announced, the Company's quarterly conference call to discuss these results is today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and may be accessed via telephone in the U.S. at 1-844-840-0844 (internationally at 1-647-253-8795) using conference ID 7991991 or by live webcast, which includes a slide presentation, under “Investor Center” on the Company's website (www.dynexcapital.com).

◦$2.26 net income per common share

◦$(1.87) other comprehensive loss per common share on available-for-sale securities

•Core net operating income, a non-GAAP measure, of $0.66 per common share

•Net interest spread and adjusted net interest spread, a non-GAAP measure, of 1.10% and 1.53%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2019

•Quarterly economic return to common shareholders of 2.2% based on dividends declared of $0.45 per common share less the decline in book value per common share of $(0.06) to $18.01 at December 31, 2019

•Leverage including TBA long positions of 9.0x shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2019

2019 Full Year Results

◦$(7.01) net loss per common share

◦$8.87 other comprehensive income per common share on available-for-sale securities

•Total economic return to common shareholders of 10.8% based on dividends declared of $2.01 per common share and a decline in book value per common share of $(0.06) during 2019.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Summary

Comprehensive income to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $8.6 million compared to $15.3 million for the prior quarter. Net income to common shareholders increased to $51.8 million, or $2.26 per common share, for the fourth quarter compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $(39.9) million, or $(1.65) per common share, for the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to:

▪a net gain on derivative instruments of $43.0 million for the fourth quarter versus a net loss of $(50.7) million in the

prior quarter due to an increase in interest rate swap rates, and;

▪an increase in net interest income of $2.9 million due to lower financing costs as a result of declining short-term

interest rates and despite the lower average balance of investments during the quarter.

Other comprehensive loss for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $(43.2) million compared to other comprehensive income of $55.2 million for the prior quarter due to overall declines in the fair value of the Company's MBS resulting from longer term interest rates increasing during the quarter.

Core net operating income to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $15.0 million, or $0.66 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2019 versus $11.5 million, or $0.48 per common share, for the third quarter of 2019 due primarily to the increase in net interest income noted above. In addition, the Company had an increase of $0.7 million in net periodic interest benefit as a result of an increase in the average balance of pay-fixed interest rate swaps. Please refer to "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional important information about non-GAAP measures.

Book Value Per Common Share

Book value per common share declined $0.06 per share to $18.01 from $18.07. The decline in book value per common share was primarily due to the net unrealized loss on MBS resulting from interest rates increasing in the long end of the yield curve. Management estimates book value as of January 31, 2020 to be in the range of $19.30 to $19.50 per common share, 7-8% higher than book value per common share as of December 31, 2019 (the estimated book value range as of January 31, 2020 is based on the Company’s standard monthly processes and has not been verified or reviewed by a third party; the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise this estimate of the book value range).

Investments and Financing Details

The Company's leverage including TBA long positions declined to 9.0 times shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2019 from 9.1 as of September 30, 2019. The average balance of the Company's borrowings declined commensurate with the decline in its average balance of investments. The following table provides details on the performance of our investments and financing including interest rate hedging costs for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended
	December 31, 2019										September 30, 2019
($ in thousands)	Income/Expense		Average Balance		Effective Yield/Cost of Funds		Income/Expense		Average Balance		Effective Yield/Cost of Funds
Agency RMBS	$	19,895	$	2,593,255	3.07	%	$	23,687	$	2,942,465	3.22	%
Agency CMBS	16,318		1,910,120		3.20	%	14,818		1,763,116		3.22	%

Interest-bearing liabilities:⁽²⁾	25,766		4,809,719		2.10	%	31,256		4,958,857		2.47	%
Net interest income/net interest spread	$	16,195			1.10	%	$	13,246			0.82	%

Adjusted net interest income/adjusted net interest spread ⁽⁵⁾	$	22,437			1.53	%	$	18,616			1.14	%

(1) CMBS IO includes Agency and non-Agency securities.

(2) Interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of repurchase agreement borrowings.

(3) The impact of TBA drop income on adjusted net interest spread includes the implied average funding cost of TBA dollar roll transactions during the periods indicated. TBA drop income includes $0.9 million and $0.5 million from TBA short positions held during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

(4) Amount represents net periodic interest benefit of effective interest rate swaps outstanding during the period and excludes realized and unrealized gains and losses from changes in fair value of derivatives.

(5) Represents a non-GAAP measure.

Net interest spread and adjusted net interest spread increased 28 basis points and 39 basis points, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2019 as the decline of 37 basis points in financing costs outpaced the 9 basis point decline in effective yield on the investment portfolio. The effective yield on the investment portfolio declined to 3.20% for the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to increased prepayments on higher yielding assets. Financing costs declined due to the decline in the U.S. Federal Funds rate coupled with the subsequent injection of liquidity into the repurchase agreements markets by the Federal Reserve. Adjusted net interest spread increased an additional 11 basis points from the prior quarter due to higher net periodic interest benefit from interest rate swaps and lower implied financing rates on net TBA dollar roll positions.

Hedging Summary

The Company added interest rate swaps with a notional balance of $0.3 million, net of terminations, while lowering the hedging portfolio's average pay-fixed rate 19 basis points to 1.64% for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The following table provides information related to the Company's average borrowings outstanding and interest rate swaps effective for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended
($ in thousands)	December 31, 2019			September 30, 2019
Average repurchase agreement borrowings outstanding	$	4,806,826		$	4,955,825
Average TBA long positions - at cost ⁽¹⁾	263,217			462,099
Average borrowings and TBA long positions outstanding	$	5,070,043		$	5,417,924
Average notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding	4,004,022			$	3,096,957
Ratio of average interest rate swaps to average borrowings and TBA long positions outstanding	0.8			0.6

Average interest rate swap pay-fixed rate	(1.64)		%	(1.83)		%
Average interest rate swap receive-floating rate	2.06		%	2.30		%
Average interest rate swap net receive rate	0.42		%	0.47		%

(1) The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the impact of changing interest rates on the fair value and implied financing cost of their TBA long positions as well as repurchase agreement financing costs. This ratio calculation does not include TBA short positions which the Company may also use to hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its specified pools of Agency RMBS and TBA long positions.

The following table summarizes the weighted average notional amount and rate of interest rate swaps held as of December 31, 2019⁽¹⁾:


($ in thousands)	Weighted Average Notional		Weighted Average Rate
2020	$	3,648,156	1.59	%
2021	2,996,918		1.59	%
2022	1,746,397		1.64	%
2023	1,365,000		1.70	%
2024	1,182,760		1.75	%
2025	665,616		1.97	%
2026	665,000		1.97	%

(1) Additional interest rate swaps outstanding from 2027-2047 had an average balance of $186.2 million at a weighted average pay-fixed rate of 2.46% as of December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company also held options on U.S. Treasury futures with a notional balance of $1.4 billion and a fair value of $2.9 million which will expire in February 2020 as well as a swaption for a 10-year pay-fixed interest rate swap with a notional balance of $750.0 million and a fair value of $0.6 million which expired in January 2020.

Company Description

Dynex Capital, Inc. is an internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, which invests in mortgage assets on a leveraged basis. The Company invests in Agency and non-Agency RMBS, CMBS, and CMBS IO. Additional information about Dynex Capital, Inc. is available at www.dynexcapital.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the Company's operating results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including core net operating income to common shareholders (including per common share), adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest income and the related metrics adjusted cost of funds and adjusted net interest spread. Because these measures are used in the Company's internal analysis of financial and operating performance, management believes that they provide greater transparency to our investors of management's view of our economic performance. Management also believes the presentation of these measures, when analyzed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP operating results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate and compare the performance of the Company to that of its peers, although the Company's presentation of its non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. Schedules reconciling core net operating income to common shareholders, adjusted interest expense, and adjusted net interest income to GAAP financial measures are provided as a supplement to this release.

Management views core net operating income to common shareholders as an estimate of the Company's financial performance based on the effective yield of its investments, net of financing costs and other normal recurring operating income/expense, net. In addition to the non-GAAP reconciliation set forth in the supplement to this release, which derives core net operating income to common shareholders from GAAP net income to common shareholders as the nearest GAAP equivalent measure, core net operating income to common shareholders can also be determined by adjusting net interest income to include interest rate swap periodic interest benefit (cost), drop income on TBA dollar roll transactions, general and administrative expenses, and preferred dividends. Drop income generated by TBA dollar roll positions, which is included in

"gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net" on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income, is included in core net operating income and in adjusted net interest income because management views drop income as the economic equivalent of net interest income (interest income less implied financing cost) on the underlying Agency security from trade date to settlement date. Management also includes periodic interest benefit (cost) from its interest rate swaps, which are also included in "gain (loss) on derivatives instruments, net", in adjusted net interest expense, and in adjusted net interest income because interest rate swaps are used by the Company to economically hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its borrowing costs from repurchase agreements, and including periodic interest benefit (cost) from interest rate swaps is a helpful indicator of the Company’s total cost of financing in addition to GAAP interest expense. However, these non-GAAP measures do not provide a full perspective on our results of operations, and therefore, their usefulness is limited. For example, these non-GAAP measures do not include gains or losses from available-for-sale investments, changes in fair value of and costs of terminating interest rate swaps, as well as realized and unrealized gains or losses from any instrument used by management to economically hedge the impact of changing interest rates on its portfolio and book value per common share, such as Eurodollar futures. As a result, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP results as reported on its consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
