Portfolio Performance DRIVING SUPERIOR PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE Q3-2018 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY PORTFOLIO METRICS RATES June 30, September 30, • Higher rates and variability in spreads during the Three Months Ended 2018 2018 quarter impacted book value performance • Positive performance from hedges and MSR in rising Annualized portfolio yield during the quarter 3.91% 3.76% rate environment • Redeployment of capital from Agencies into MSR and Rates Agency RMBS, Agency Derivatives and Credit should result in better returns, higher net MSR 3.3% 3.3% interest margin and lower leverage Credit CREDIT Non-Agency securities, Legacy(1) 7.8% 7.6% • Residential credit continues to benefit from stable Non-Agency securities, New issue(1) 9.7% 5.4% spreads and strong underlying credit performance Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale 4.5% 4.6% Annualized cost of funds on average borrowings during the quarter(2) 1.98% 2.28% Annualized interest rate spread for aggregate portfolio during the quarter 1.93% 1.48% (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 and caps.

Rates Update STRATEGY OF PAIRING MSR WITH AGENCY RMBS IS DISTINGUISHING FACTOR AGENCY RMBS ACTIVITY • Added $10.0 billion Agency securities to portfolio in connection with the CYS acquisition; primarily reallocated into higher-coupon 30-year Agencies • Increased exposure to Fannie Mae 4.5’s and 5.0’s, both pools and TBAs, due to attractiveness of these coupons – Expect TBA position to fluctuate depending on availability and attractiveness of specified pools and any roll specialness(1) MSR ACTIVITY • Increased capital allocated to MSR by adding $15.7 billion UPB of MSR through bulk purchases and ongoing flow-sale arrangements • Market for MSR bulk packages continues to be 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 • 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 drives stability through periods of market volatility HEDGING ACROSS THE CURVE Book value exposure to changes in rates(1) Net interest income exposure to changes in rates(2) +25 basis points (1.0%) +25 basis points 3.2% +50 basis points (2.9%) +50 basis points 6.4% 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 ($303) $56 ($247) / (5.3%) 15 basis points increase ($179) $34 ($145) / (3.1%) 15 basis points decrease $169 ($38) $131 / 2.8% 25 basis points decrease $273 ($64) $209 / 4.5% 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. (1) Represents estimated change in equity value for theoretical parallel shift in interest rates. (2) Represents estimated percentage change in net interest income for theoretical parallel shifts in interest rates. Amounts include the effect of interest spread from our interest rate swaps and caps and float income from custodial accounts associated with our MSR, but do not reflect any potential changes to dollar roll income associated with our TBA positions, which are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. 12 (3) Dollars in millions. The information presented in this table projects the potential impact on book value of instantaneous changes in mortgage spreads. Spread sensitivity is based on results from third party models in conjunction with inputs from our internal investment professionals. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Credit Update UNIQUE NON-AGENCY PORTFOLIO DRIVES ATTRACTIVE TOTAL RETURNS • Non-Agency securities holdings of $3.8 billion; primarily positioned in deeply discounted legacy subprime non-Agency RMBS with LIBOR floating rate coupons • Continue to see opportunity to add low dollar priced legacy non-Agencies • Weighted average legacy market price of ~$74 long average life of holdings 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) 7 6 5 4 R P C 3 2 1 0 Jan-10 Feb-11 Mar-12 Apr-13 May-14 Jun-15 Jul-16 Aug-17 Sep-18 (1) Weighted average market price utilized current face for weighting purposes.

CYS Portfolio Reallocation Momentum TREMENDOUS PROGRESS ON DEPLOYING CAPITAL FROM CYS ACQUISITION • Expect to reallocate capital from Agencies to MSR and non-Agency securities • Maintaining low level of risk exposures to rates, curve and spread changes – Addition of MSR reduces Agency mortgage spread risk Expected March 31, 2018 June 30, 2018 July 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Allocation Trend(1) Rates 69% 68% 77% 76% Agency 50% 44% 59% 57% MSR 19% 24% 18% 19% Credit 31% 32% 23% 24% (1) Expected capital allocation trends are illustrative and reflect the company's current expectations based on a variety of market, economic and regulatory factors.

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 20 believe the presentation of Core Earnings, including dollar roll income, provides investors greater transparency into our period-over-period financial performance and facilitates comparisons to peer REITs.
