Portfolio Performance DRIVING SUPERIOR PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE Q2-2018 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY PORTFOLIO METRICS • Overall portfolio performance benefitted from floating- rate coupons on non-Agency securities, the LIBOR side March 31, June 30, Three Months Ended 2018 2018 of swaps and MSR float income Annualized portfolio yield during the quarter 3.77% 3.91% RATES Rates • Positive performance from hedges and MSR in rising Agency RMBS, Agency Derivatives and rate environment MSR 3.2% 3.3% • Effect of flattening yield curve and variability in spreads Credit had little impact on performance Non-Agency securities, Legacy(1) 7.5% 7.8% CREDIT Non-Agency securities, New issue(1) 10.9% 9.7% • Residential credit benefitted from stable spreads and Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale 4.7% 4.5% strong underlying credit performance, driving second Annualized cost of funds on average quarter results borrowings during the quarter(2) 1.84% 1.98% Annualized interest rate spread for aggregate portfolio during the quarter 1.93% 1.93% (1) “Legacy” non-Agency securities includes non-Agency bonds issued up to and including 2009. “New issue” non-Agency securities includes bonds issued after 2009. 10 (2) Cost of funds includes interest spread income/expense associated with the portfolio’s interest rate swaps.

Rates Update STRATEGY OF PAIRING MSR WITH AGENCY RMBS IS DISTINGUISHING FACTOR AGENCY RMBS ACTIVITY • Allocated capital from Agency pools into TBAs • Continued to add exposure to Fannie Mae TBA 4.5’s due to attractiveness of coupon – Roll for this coupon traded special most of the quarter, with implied financing costs about 30 basis points lower than repo • Expect TBA position to fluctuate depending on availability and attractiveness of specified pools and any roll specialness(1) MSR ACTIVITY • Increased capital allocation to MSR by adding $10.5 billion UPB of MSR through one bulk purchase and our ongoing flow-sale arrangements • Market for MSR bulk packages more active • Pairing MSR with Agency RMBS results in a portfolio that has higher return potential with lower mortgage spread risk – Mitigates adverse impact to book value in spread widening scenario • Low-to-mid double digit expected returns • Addition of financing for MSR is beneficial to growing portfolio and enhancing returns 11 (1) Specialness means that implied financing costs are lower than traditional repurchase agreements.

Protecting Book Value and Income • Active management of risk positioning leads to stability in returns through periods of market volatility HEDGING ACROSS THE CURVE Book value exposure to changes in rates(1) Net income exposure to changes in rates(2) +25 basis points (0.7%) +25 basis points (0.1%) +50 basis points (2.2%) +50 basis points (0.3%) BOOK VALUE SENSITIVITY TO MORTGAGE SPREADS(3) Change in Agency RMBS and Total overall Rates strategy Mortgage spreads mortgage derivatives Change in MSR change 25 basis points increase ($178) $55 ($123) / (3.5%) 15 basis points increase ($107) $34 ($73) / (2.1%) 15 basis points decrease $99 ($38) $58 / 1.7% 25 basis points decrease $155 ($64) $91 / 2.6% Note: The above scenario is provided for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of Two Harbors’ financial condition and operating results, nor is it necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations that may be expected for any future period or date.

Credit Update UNIQUE NON-AGENCY PORTFOLIO DRIVES ATTRACTIVE TOTAL RETURNS • Non-Agency securities holdings of $3.5 billion; primarily positioned in deeply discounted legacy subprime non-Agency RMBS with LIBOR floating rate coupons • Increased holdings of low dollar priced legacy non-Agencies by approximately 18% quarter-over-quarter • Average legacy market price of ~$75 creates opportunity to capture additional upside(1) RESIDENTIAL CREDIT TAILWINDS • Continued re-equification has potential to result in strong performance for deeply discounted holdings – Drives increased prepayments, and lower loan-to-value ratios, delinquencies, defaults and severities SUBPRIME CPR(2) 8 7 6 5 R P 4 C 3 2 1 0 Jan-10 Nov-10 Sep-11 Jul-12 May-13 Mar-14 Jan-15 Nov-15 Sep-16 Jul-17 May-18 (1) Weighted average market price utilized current face for weighting purposes.

Portfolio Considerations for Acquisition of CYS Investments, Inc. REDEPLOYING CAPITAL AND MAINTAINING LOW LEVEL OF RISK • Redeploying capital from 100% Agency assets acquired in merger into our targeted asset mix • Prior to acquisition, portfolio allocation of about 70% to Rates and 30% to Credit • Expect allocation to Agencies to move downward over time in favor of MSR and non- Agency securities • Maintaining low level of risk exposures, in line with current level of positioning 14

As defined, Core Earnings includes interest income or expense and premium income or loss on derivative instruments and servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR. Dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. We believe the presentation of Core Earnings including dollar roll income provides investors greater transparency into 20 our period-over-period financial performance and facilitates comparisons to peer REITs.
