Two Harbors Investment Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Book Value Impacted as Spreads Continued to Widen Beyond Historical Levels

NEW YORK, November 8, 2022 - Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), an Agency + MSR mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Quarterly Summary(1)

•Reported book value of $16.42 per common share, representing a (16.2)% quarterly economic return on book value(2)

•Generated Comprehensive Loss of $287.8 million, or $(3.35) per weighted average basic common share

•Reported Earnings Available for Distribution (EAD) of $55.2 million, or $0.64 per weighted average basic common share(3)

•Declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.68 per share

•GAAP debt-to-equity increased to 5.5x from 3.8x; economic debt-to-equity increased to 7.5x from 6.4x as the impact of the book value decline more than offset a $1.6 billion decline in our Agency RMBS and TBA position(4)(5)

•Settled on sales of approximately $20 billion unpaid principal balance (UPB) of mortgage servicing rights (MSR)

Post-Quarter End Update

•Repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of preferred stock, contributing $0.26 to book value per common share

•On November 1, 2022, effected the previously announced one-for-four reverse stock split of outstanding shares of common stock

“Our portfolio performance reflects one of the most challenging market environments in decades, and mortgage spreads widened to levels not seen except in crisis periods,” stated Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the significant cheapening in RMBS, we are very constructive on forward-looking return potential, while being mindful of remaining risks.”

“With the 30-year mortgage rate 400 basis points higher than a year ago at around 7%, and with the economy softening, we expect prepayment speeds to be below those from previous discount environments,” stated Nick Letica, Two Harbors’ Chief Investment Officer. “We are well-positioned to benefit from slower speeds with our portfolio of low coupon MSR and high coupon RMBS”

(1) On November 1, 2022, the company completed its previously announced one-for-four reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, all common share and per common share amounts presented herein have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the reverse stock split.

(2) Economic return on book value is defined as the increase (decrease) in book value per common share from the beginning to the end of the given period, plus dividends declared in the period, divided by book value as of the beginning of the period.

(3) Earnings Available for Distribution is a non-GAAP measure. Please see page 11 for a definition of Earnings Available for Distribution and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

(4) Economic debt-to-equity is defined as total borrowings to fund RMBS, MSR and Agency Derivatives, plus the implied debt on net TBA cost basis, divided by total equity.

(5) Net TBA Position represents the bond equivalent value of the company’s TBA position. Bond equivalent value is defined as notional amount multiplied by market price. Accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP.

Net spread	1.77	%		2.70	%

Note: Beginning with the third quarter of 2022, the above presentation of cost of financing and net spread includes U.S. Treasury futures income, which represents the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements. Second quarter 2022 comparative data has been updated to reflect this change.

(1)Other Agency includes hybrid ARMs and inverse interest-only Agency securities classified as “Agency Derivatives” for purposes of GAAP.

(2)Based on the loans underlying the MSR reported by subservicers on a month lag, adjusted for current month purchases.

(3)Represents bond equivalent value of TBA position. Bond equivalent value is defined as notional amount multiplied by market price. Accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP.

(4)Average portfolio yield includes interest income on Agency RMBS and non-Agency securities, MSR servicing income, net of estimated amortization, and servicing expenses, and the implied asset yield portion of TBA dollar roll income on TBAs. MSR estimated 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. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements.

(5)Average cost of financing includes interest expense and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs on borrowings, interest spread income/expense and amortization of upfront payments made or received upon entering into interest rate swap agreements, U.S. Treasury futures income, and the implied financing benefit/cost portion of dollar roll income on TBAs. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. 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.

(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)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, 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 other nonrecurring 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 recurring 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.

Executive Overview 3 Note: Financial data throughout this presentation is as of or for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, unless otherwise noted. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, all common share and per common share amounts presented herein have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the one-for-four reverse stock split completed on November 1, 2022. Note: The End Notes are an integral part of this presentation. See slide 27 through 31 at the back of this presentation for information related to certain financial metrics and defined terms herein. Quarterly Summary • Reported book value of $16.42 per common share, representing a (16.2)% quarterly economic return on book value(1) • Generated Comprehensive Loss of $287.8 million, or $(3.35) per weighted average basic common share • Reported Earnings Available for Distribution (EAD) of $55.2 million, or $0.64 per weighted average basic common share(2) • Declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.68 per share • GAAP debt-to-equity increased to 5.5x from 3.8x; economic debt-to-equity increased to 7.5x from 6.4x as the impact of the book value decline more than offset a $1.6 billion decline in our Agency RMBS and TBA position(3)(4) • Settled on sales of approximately $20 billion unpaid principal balance (UPB) of mortgage servicing rights (MSR) Post-Quarter End Update • Repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of preferred stock, contributing $0.26 to book value per common share • On November 1, 2022, effected the previously announced one-for-four reverse stock split of outstanding shares of common stock Book Value Impacted as Spreads Continued to Widen Beyond Historical Levels

Key Market Highlights 4 II. FORWARD RATES REFLECT A MORE HAWKISH FED(2) I. INFLATION CONTINUED TO EXCEED EXPECTATIONS(1) III. RMBS PERFORMANCE WAS EXTREMELY VOLATILE(3) INFLATION, A HAWKISH FED, AND RISING RECESSION RISK MADE FOR A DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENT • Uncertainty around the path of forward rates and geopolitical turmoil contributed to extraordinarily high rate volatility • Despite the accelerated pace of policy tightening, inflation has only slightly moderated while the labor market remains strong, all but guaranteeing more hikes from the Fed ◦ CPI swaps are pricing in ~3% year-over-year by September 2023, implying that the markets believe the Fed will be successful • Market expectations of forward rates revised upward during the quarter. The Fed has hiked rates by 375 bps in 2022 and the market expects another 125 bps increase this cycle, peaking around 5.10%, before the Fed pauses • After a highly volatile Q2, spread volatility for RMBS increased with July seeing the best month ever for mortgage index excess returns, and September the worst ever

Key Market Highlights SPREADS ARE AT HISTORICALLY ATTRACTIVE LEVELS IN BOTH STATIC AND OAS TERMS 5 II. RMBS INDEX CONVEXITY NEAR ZERO(2) III. HIGHER COUPONS HAVE WIDER SPREADS(3) I. RMBS SPREADS AT HISTORICAL WIDES(1) • MBS spreads widened sharply to levels which have historically only been seen in acute phases of crisis periods • Convexity of the RMBS index is near zero reflecting the index’s deep discount dollar price and slow speed assumptions ◦ Even the high coupons are below par and have minimal convexity and prepayment risk, reducing hedging costs going forward • Both the static and OAS curves are downward sloping as slow prepayment speeds are detrimental to deep discount bonds ◦ Higher coupons have more exposure to implied volatility and should outperform when volatility subsides ◦ High coupons are also more attractive when spreads are expressed per unit of duration •

Portfolio Yields and Financing Costs 8 • Portfolio yield increased 22 bps to 4.61% primarily due to a greater amount of higher coupon available-for-sale securities • Net spread narrowed by (93) bps as a combination of higher rates and borrowing balances offset a higher portfolio yield ($ thousands) Q3-2022 Q2-2022 Portfolio Asset Type Average Amortized Cost Income(1) Average Yield Average Amortized Cost Income(1) Average Yield Available-for-sale securities $ 9,323,193 $ 88,472 3.80% $ 7,248,502 $ 55,399 3.06% Mortgage servicing rights(2) 1,925,372 51,159 10.63% 2,113,912 52,008 9.84% Agency derivatives(3) 26,096 153 2.35 % 28,663 304 4.24 % TBAs(4) 5,762,726 56,776 3.94 % 5,686,796 57,646 4.05 % Total portfolio $ 17,037,387 $ 196,560 4.61 % $ 15,077,873 $ 165,357 4.39 % Financing Collateral Type Average Outstanding Balance Expense(5) Average Cost Average Outstanding Balance Expense(5) Average Cost Available-for-sale securities $ 8,951,012 $ 51,769 2.31% $ 7,012,474 $ 12,955 0.74% Mortgage servicing rights and advances 1,718,842 26,579 6.19 % 1,628,474 19,252 4.73 % Agency derivatives(3) 21,601 125 2.31 % 27,074 93 1.37 % Other - unsecured(6) 281,961 4,877 6.92 % 281,608 4,801 6.82 % Interest rate swaps(7) (178) — % 4,267 0.12 % U.S. Treasury futures(8) 16,643 0.40 % 20,602 0.56 % TBAs(4) 5,762,726 18,944 1.31 % 5,686,796 (56) — % Total financing $ 16,736,142 $ 118,759 2.84 % $ 14,636,426 $ 61,914 1.69 % Net Spread 1.77 % 2.70 % Note: Beginning with the third quarter of 2022, the above presentation of financing costs includes U.S. Treasury futures income, which represents the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements.

SLOWER SPEEDS AHEAD FOR MSR(2) SPEEDS FAVOR HIGH COUPON RMBS AND LOW COUPON MSR • Prepayment rates continue to decline as mortgage rates increase to new cycle highs pushing more than 99% of the mortgage universe out-of-the money • Very low coupon mortgages are expected to pay at very slow speeds given that homeowners will experience very strong ‘lock- in’ effect ◦ Negatively impacts very low coupon RMBS, like 2.5%, that are trading at a deep discount; we favor higher coupon RMBS that have higher and more stable return profiles ◦ Slowing speeds are a positive for the MSR portfolio, which is on average about 385 bps out-of-the-money • Expected further slowing in prepayment rates should boost levered MSR returns by hundreds of basis points

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 recurring 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.

PAGE 3 - Executive Overview 1. Economic return on book value is defined as the increase (decrease) in book value per common share from the beginning to the end of the given period, plus dividends declared in the period, divided by book value as of the beginning of the period. 2. Earnings Available for Distribution, or EAD, is a non-GAAP measure. Please see Appendix slide 21 for a definition of Earnings Available for Distribution and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information. 3. Economic debt-to-equity is defined as total borrowings to fund RMBS, MSR and Agency Derivatives, plus the implied debt on net TBA cost basis, divided by total equity. 4. Net TBA position represents the bond equivalent value of the company’s TBA position. Bond equivalent value is defined as notional amount multiplied by market price. Accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. PAGE 4 - Key Market Highlights 1. Source: J.P. Morgan. As of October 14, 2022. 2. Source: Bloomberg. As of November 4, 2022. 3.

Please see Appendix slide 21 for a definition of Earnings Available for Distribution and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information. 2. Economic return on book value is defined as the increase (decrease) in book value per common share from the beginning to the end of the given period, plus dividends declared in the period, divided by book value as of the beginning of the period. PAGE 7 - Earnings Available for Distribution 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. Earnings Available for Distribution, or EAD, is a non-GAAP measure. Please see Appendix slide 21 for a definition of Earnings Available for Distribution and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information. 5. Agency fixed rate RMBS use GAAP concept of amortized cost and yield-to-maturity determined at time of purchase. Net MSR service income and amortization is based on original pricing yield and does not include the benefit of increased float income and lower compensating interest. Financing costs are largely variable and short-term, responding more quickly to rising rates than our longer term assets. Futures income represents the sum of the implied net cash and expected change in price of a financed U.S. treasury, but excludes unexpected price change. End Notes 27

Includes interest income, net of premium amortization/discount accretion, on available-for-sale securities and Agency Derivatives, servicing income, net of estimated amortization and servicing expenses, on MSR, and the implied asset yield portion of dollar roll income on TBAs. Amortization on MSR 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. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. 2. Amortized cost on MSR for a given period equals the net present value of the remaining future cash flows (obtained by applying original prepayment assumptions to the actual unpaid principal balance at the start of the period) using a discount rate equal to the original pricing yield. Original pricing yield is the discount rate which makes the net present value of the cash flows projected at purchase equal to the purchase price. MSR amortized cost is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company’s decision to account for MSR at fair value. 3. Represents inverse interest-only Agency RMBS which are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. 4. Both the implied asset yield and implied financing benefit/cost of dollar roll income on TBAs are 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. 5. Includes interest expense and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs on borrowings, interest spread income/expense and amortization of upfront payments made or received upon entering into interest rate swap agreements, and the implied financing benefit/cost portion of dollar roll income on TBAs. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. 6. Unsecured convertible senior notes. 7. The cost of financing on interest rate swaps held to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the company’s outstanding borrowings is calculated using average borrowings balance as the denominator. 8. 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.

End Notes (continued) 30 PAGE 16 - Effective Coupon Positioning 1. RMBS + MSR represents an internally calculated exposure of a synthetic TBA position and the current coupon equivalents of our MSR and Agency IO RMBS. 2. RMBS + RATES represents our investment portfolio after excluding the internally calculated exposure of a synthetic TBA position and the current coupon equivalents of our MSR / Agency IO RMBS. 3. Book value exposure to current coupon represents estimated change in common book value for theoretical parallel shifts in spreads. 4. MSR/Agency IO RMBS includes the effect of unsettled MSR. PAGE 17 - Risk Positioning 1. Parallel shift represents estimated change in common book value for theoretical parallel shift in interest rates. 2. Shift in long term rates represents estimated change in common book value for theoretical non-parallel shifts in the yield curve. Analysis uses a +/- 25 basis point shift in 10-year rates while holding short term rates constant. 3. Shift in short term rates represents estimated change in common book value for theoretical non-parallel shifts in the yield curve. Analysis uses a +/- 25 basis point shift in 2-year rates while holding long term rates constant. 4. MSR/Agency IO RMBS includes the effect of unsettled MSR. 5. Other includes all other derivative assets and liabilities and borrowings. Other excludes TBAs, which are included in the Agency P&I RMBS/TBA category. PAGE 18 - Financial Performance 1. Economic return on book value is defined as the increase (decrease) in book value per common share from the beginning to the end of the given period, plus dividends declared in the period, divided by the book value as of the beginning of the period. 2. Historical dividends may not be indicative of future dividend distributions. The company ultimately distributes dividends based on its taxable income per common share, not GAAP earnings. The annualized dividend yield on the company’s common stock is calculated based on the closing price of the last trading day of the relevant quarter. PAGE 19 - Q3-2022 Operating Performance 1.

Please see Appendix slide 21 for a definition of Earnings Available for Distribution and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information. PAGE 20 - Q2-2022 Operating Performance 1. Earnings Available for Distribution, or EAD, is a non-GAAP measure. Please see Appendix slide 21 for a definition of Earnings Available for Distribution and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

End Notes (continued) 31 PAGE 21 - GAAP to EAD Reconciliation 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.

Three month prepayment speeds of delivered TBA contracts; average of J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, and Citi data. PAGE 23 - Mortgage Servicing Rights Portfolio 1. MSR portfolio excludes residential mortgage loans for which the company is the named servicing administrator. Portfolio metrics, other than fair value and UPB, represent averages weighted by UPB. 2. FICO represents a mortgage industry accepted credit score of a borrower. PAGE 25 - Financing 1. Outstanding borrowings have a weighted average of 5.9 months to maturity. 2. Repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities secured by MSR and/or other assets may be over-collateralized due to operational considerations. PAGE 26 - Futures 1. Exchange-traded derivative instruments (futures and options on futures) require the posting of an “initial margin” amount determined by the clearing exchange, which is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the exchange from the derivative instrument’s maximum estimated single- day price movement. The company also exchanges “variation margin” based upon daily changes in fair value, as measured by the exchange. The exchange of variation margin is considered a settlement of the derivative instrument, as opposed to pledged collateral. Accordingly, the receipt or payment of variation margin is accounted for as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the exchange-traded derivative asset or liability.
