Market Opportunity: Non-Agency Residential Loans Section III: 11NYSE: MITT

In connection with January 2021 amendments to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Appendix Q was replaced with an interest rate threshold and “consider and verify” framework. As a result, mortgages will be designated based on the percentage amount a borrower’s Annual Percentage Rate (APR) exceeds the Average Prime Offer Rate (APOR) for first lien mortgage loans. Recent regulatory and structural changes in the residential loan market have created a dynamic environment for investment specifically in Non-Agency products Regulatory Shifts “The Patch”(1) Expiry on July 1, 2021 and related replacement of rigid Appendix Q(2) are expected to create underwriting efficiencies and enhance opportunity for private capital Consumer Fundamentals Mortgage credit availability at near decade lows Continued improvement in consumer credit Strong housing market and consumer demand Technology Ability for originators to apply technological advancements Replacing Appendix Q has better aligned the risk reward of automation and product development Market Conditions Increasing segment of well qualified borrowers underserved by Government and GSEs Significant demand from Non-Agency investors Expecting regulatory changes to drive prudent product expansion, volumes and returns as “Name-Brand” Originators enter the market for the first time since the Great Financial Crisis Declining GSE Footprint Acquisition limits on loans secured by second homes, investment properties and loans with multiple higher risk characteristics Lower cap on the GSE’s retained mortgage portfolios Continued focus on GSE reform $150+ billion Non-Agency Residential Loan Opportunity

1. Diluted per share figures are calculated using diluted weighted average outstanding shares in accordance with GAAP. 2. As of March 31, 2021, book value is calculated using stockholders’ equity less net proceeds of our cumulative redeemable preferred stock ($226.3 million) as the numerator. As of March 31, 2021, adjusted book value is calculated using stockholders’ equity less the liquidation preference of our cumulative redeemable preferred stock ($234.0 million) as the numerator. 3. The economic return on equity for the quarter represents the change in adjusted book value per share from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021, plus the common dividends declared over that period, divided by adjusted book value per share as of December 31, 2020. 4. We define Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as Net Income/(loss) available to common stockholders excluding (i) (a) unrealized gains/(losses) on real estate securities, loans, derivatives and other investments, inclusive of our investment in AG Arc, and (b) net realized gains/(losses) on the sale or termination of such instruments, (ii) any transaction related expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of our investments, (iii) accrued deal-related performance fees payable to Arc Home and third party operators to the extent the primary component of the accrual relates to items that are excluded from Core Earnings, such as unrealized and realized gains/(losses), (iv) realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of Arc Home's net mortgage servicing rights and the derivatives intended to offset changes in the fair value of those net mortgage servicing rights, (v) deferred taxes recognized at our taxable REIT subsidiaries, if any, (vi) any foreign currency gain/(loss) relating to monetary assets and liabilities, (vii) income from discontinued operations, and (viii) any gains/(losses) associated with exchange transactions on our common and preferred stock. Items (i) through (viii) above include any amount related to those items held in affiliated entities. Management considers the transaction related expenses referenced in (ii) above to be similar to realized losses incurred at the acquisition or disposition of an asset and does not view them as being part of its core operations. Management views the exclusion described in (iv) above to be consistent with how it calculates Core Earnings on the remainder of its portfolio. Management excludes all deferred taxes because it believes deferred taxes are not representative of current operations. As defined, Core Earnings include the net interest income and other income earned on our investments on a yield adjusted basis, including TBA dollar roll income or any other investment activity that may earn or pay net interest or its economic equivalent. Core Earnings includes earnings from AG Arc LLC. See slide 15 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Core Earnings. See footnote 13 for further details on AG Arc LLC. 5. The investment portfolio at period end consists of the net carrying value of our Residential Investments, Agency RMBS, Commercial Investments, and where applicable, any long positions in TBAs, including securities and mortgage loans owned through investments in affiliates, exclusive of AG Arc LLC. Our Residential Investments, Agency RMBS, and Commercial Investments are held at fair value. Our Credit Investments refer to our Residential Investments and Commercial Investments. Refer to footnote 6 for more information on the GAAP accounting for certain items included in our investment portfolio. The percentage of fair value includes any net TBA positions and securities and mortgage loans owned through investments in affiliates and is exclusive of AG Arc LLC. 6. Generally, when we purchase an investment and finance it, the investment is included in our assets and the financing is reflected in our liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as either “Financing arrangements” or “Securitized debt, at fair value.” Throughout this presentation where we disclose our investment portfolio and the related financing, we have presented this information inclusive of (i) securities and mortgage loans owned through investments in affiliates that are accounted for under GAAP using the equity method and, where applicable, (ii) long positions in TBAs, which are accounted for as derivatives under GAAP. The related financing includes financing of $114.0 million and $116.7 million recorded within "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. This presentation excludes investments through AG Arc LLC unless otherwise noted. 7. The Economic Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing total Economic Leverage, including any net TBA position, by our GAAP stockholders’ equity at quarter-end. Total Economic Leverage at quarter-end includes recourse financing arrangements recorded within "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" exclusive of any financing utilized through AG Arc LLC, plus the payable on all unsettled buys less the financing on all unsettled sells and any net TBA position (at cost). Total Economic Leverage excludes any non-recourse financing arrangements. Non-recourse financing arrangements include securitized debt, as well as financing on certain Non-QM Loans. Our obligation to repay our non-recourse financing arrangements is limited to the value of the pledged collateral thereunder and does not create a general claim against us as an entity. 8. The yield on our debt investments represents an effective interest rate, which utilizes all estimates of future cash flows and adjusts for actual prepayment and cash flow activity as of quarter-end. Our calculation excludes cash held by the Company and excludes any net TBA position. The calculation of weighted average yield is weighted based on face value. 9. The cost of funds at quarter-end is calculated as the sum of (i) the weighted average funding costs on recourse financing arrangements outstanding at quarter-end, (ii) the weighted average funding costs on non-recourse financing arrangements, and (iii) the weighted average of the net pay rate on our interest rate swaps. The cost of funds at quarter-end are weighted by the outstanding financing arrangements at quarter-end, including any non-recourse financing arrangements. The cost of funds excludes any net TBA position. 10. Net interest margin is calculated by subtracting the weighted average cost of funds from the weighted average yield for our investment portfolio, which excludes cash held. Net interest margin also excludes any net TBA position. 11. We allocate our equity by investment using the fair value of our investment portfolio, less any associated leverage, inclusive of any long TBA position (at cost). We allocate all non-investment portfolio related assets and liabilities to our investment portfolio categories based on the characteristics of such assets and liabilities in order to sum to stockholders' equity per the consolidated balance sheets. Our equity allocation method is a non- GAAP methodology and may not be comparable to the similarly titled measure or concepts of other companies, who may use different calculations and allocation methodologies. 12. Equity residuals and principal only securities with a zero coupon rate are excluded from this calculation. 13. We invest in Arc Home LLC through AG Arc LLC, one of our equity method investees. Our investment in AG Arc LLC is $52.1 million as of March 31, 2021, representing a 44.6% ownership interest. 14. We estimate duration based on third-party models. Different models and methodologies can produce different effective duration estimates for the same securities. We allocate the net duration by asset type based on the interest rate sensitivity. Duration includes any net TBA position. Duration does not include our equity interest in AG Arc LLC. Footnotes NYSE: MITT 30
