MANAGEMENT REMARKS
"Broad-based weakness in the financial markets, and fixed income markets in particular, continued in the third quarter of 2022 as global macroeconomic and monetary policy uncertainty intensified," said Peter Federico, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. "During these types of financial market downturns, especially those in which bond market liquidity is limited, U.S. Treasury and Agency mortgage-backed securities often initially experience more adverse valuation impacts, as these instruments are easiest for investors, including bond funds managing redemption activity, to convert to cash. This dynamic contributed to the underperformance of Agency MBS in the third quarter. As a result, mortgage spreads to benchmark interest rates increased to levels only experienced during the height of the Great Financial Crisis in 2008 and for just a few days in March 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic threatened the financial markets.
"As we have noted in prior quarters, wider spreads, while negative for our book value in the short run, also provide correspondingly higher projected returns on a go-forward basis for our portfolio. At current valuation levels, Agency MBS are as attractive as they have been in AGNC’s nearly fifteen-year history. So, as difficult as this year has been, it is important not to lose sight of the unique opportunity that we believe is on the other side of this significant repricing event."

"AGNC continued to prioritize risk management in light of substantially elevated volatility and materially diminished liquidity across all fixed income markets in the third quarter," said Bernice Bell, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "AGNC maintained an average 'at risk' leverage ratio of 8.1x tangible net book value throughout the quarter and concluded the quarter with a hedge ratio of 118% of our funding liabilities. Our net spread and dollar roll income per common share, excluding ‘catch-up’ premium amortization, improved modestly to $0.84 per common share in the third quarter from $0.83 in the second quarter, which reflects the benefits of our asset repositioning and our significant hedge position."
TANGIBLE NET BOOK VALUE PER COMMON SHARE
As of September 30, 2022, the Company's tangible net book value per common share was $9.08 per share, a decrease of -20.6% for the quarter compared to $11.43 per share as of June 30, 2022. The Company's tangible net book value per common share excludes $526 million, or $0.95 and $1.01 per share of goodwill as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
As of September 30, 2022, the Company's investment portfolio totaled $61.5 billion, comprised of:
•$59.8 billion of Agency MBS and TBA securities, including:
◦$59.5 billion of fixed-rate securities, comprised of:
•$38.5 billion 30-year MBS,
•$17.9 billion 30-year TBA securities,
•$1.7 billion 15-year MBS, and
•$1.5 billion 20-year MBS; and
◦$0.3 billion of collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), adjustable-rate and other Agency securities; and
•$1.7 billion of CRT and non-Agency securities.
As of September 30, 2022, 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate Agency MBS and TBA securities represented 92% and 3%, respectively, of the Company's investment portfolio, compared to 91% and 3%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022. The Company's TBA position is net of short TBA securities held as of the reporting date.

•3.25% for 15-year fixed rate securities; and
•2.49% for 20-year fixed-rate securities.
The Company accounts for TBA securities and other forward settling securities as derivative instruments and recognizes TBA dollar roll income in other gain (loss), net on the Company's financial statements.

*Except as noted below, average numbers for each period are weighted based on days on the Company's books and records. All percentages are annualized, unless otherwise noted.
Numbers in financial tables may not total due to rounding.
1.Tangible net book value per common share excludes preferred stock liquidation preference and goodwill.
2.Table includes non-GAAP financial measures and/or amounts derived from non-GAAP measures. Refer to "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" for additional discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.
3.Amount reported in gain (loss) on derivatives instruments and other securities, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
4.Dollar roll income represents the price differential, or "price drop," between the TBA price for current month settlement versus the TBA price for forward month settlement. Amount includes dollar roll income (loss) on long and short TBA securities. Amount excludes TBA mark-to-market adjustments.
5.The implied funding cost/benefit of TBA dollar roll transactions is determined using the "price drop" (Note 4) and market based assumptions regarding the "cheapest-to-deliver" collateral that can be delivered to satisfy the TBA contract, such as the anticipated collateral’s weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity and projected 1-month CPR. The average implied funding cost/benefit for all TBA transactions is weighted based on the Company’s daily average TBA balance outstanding for the period.
6.The average implied asset yield for TBA dollar roll transactions is extrapolated by adding the average TBA implied funding cost (Note 5) to the net dollar roll yield. The net dollar roll yield is calculated by dividing dollar roll income (Note 4) by the average net TBA balance (cost basis) outstanding for the period.
7.Amount calculated on a weighted average basis based on average balances outstanding during the period and their respective asset yield/funding cost.
8.Represents periodic interest rate swap settlements. Amount excludes interest rate swap termination fees and mark-to-market adjustments.
9.Cost of funds excludes other supplemental hedges used to hedge a portion of the Company's interest rate risk (such as swaptions and U.S. Treasury positions) and U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements.
10.Represents interest rate swap periodic cost measured as a percent of total mortgage funding (Agency repurchase agreements, other debt and net TBA securities (at cost)).
11."Catch-up" premium amortization cost/benefit is reported in interest income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
12.Investment securities include Agency MBS, CRT and non-Agency securities. Amounts exclude TBA and forward settling securities accounted for as derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.
13.Average repurchase agreements and other debt excludes U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements.
14.Average stockholders' equity calculated as the average month-ended stockholders' equity during the quarter.
15.Average tangible net book value "at risk" leverage during the period was calculated by dividing the sum of the daily weighted average Agency repurchase agreements, other debt, and TBA and forward settling securities (at cost) outstanding for the period by the sum of average stockholders' equity adjusted to exclude goodwill. Leverage excludes U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements.
16.Tangible net book value "at risk" leverage as of period end was calculated by dividing the sum of the amount outstanding under repurchase agreements, other debt, net TBA position and forward settling securities (at cost), and net receivable / payable for unsettled investment securities outstanding by the sum of total stockholders' equity adjusted to exclude goodwill. Leverage excludes U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements.
17.Average TBA coupon is for the long TBA position only.
18.Includes forward starting swaps not yet in effect as of reported period-end.
19.Economic return (loss) on tangible common equity represents the sum of the change in tangible net book value per common share and dividends declared on common stock during the period over the beginning tangible net book value per common share.
20.Includes net TBA dollar roll position and, if applicable, forward settling securities accounted for as derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Copies are available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company's results of operations discussed in this release include certain non-GAAP financial information, including "net spread and dollar roll income," "net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization," "economic interest income" and "economic interest expense", "estimated taxable income" and the related per common share measures and certain financial metrics derived from such non-GAAP information, such as "cost of funds" and "net interest spread."

Net spread and dollar roll income available to common stockholders is measured as comprehensive income (loss) available (attributable) to common stockholders (GAAP measure) adjusted to: (i) exclude gains/losses on investment securities recognized through net income or other comprehensive income and gains/losses on derivative instruments and other securities (GAAP measures) and (ii) include interest rate swap periodic income/cost and TBA dollar roll income. As defined, net spread and dollar roll income available to common stockholders represents net interest income (GAAP measure) adjusted to include TBA dollar roll income and interest rate swap periodic income/cost, less total operating expense (GAAP measure) and dividends on preferred stock (GAAP measure). Net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization, available to common stockholders further excludes retrospective "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost due to changes in projected CPR estimates.
By providing users of the Company's financial information with such measures in addition to the related GAAP measures, the Company believes users have greater transparency into the information used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. The Company also believes that it is important for users of its financial information to consider information related to the Company's current financial performance without the effects of certain transactions that are not necessarily indicative of its current investment portfolio performance and operations.
Specifically, the Company believes the inclusion of TBA dollar roll income is meaningful as TBAs are economically equivalent to holding and financing generic Agency MBS using short-term repurchase agreements but are recognized under GAAP in gain/loss on derivative instruments in the Company’s statement of operations. Similarly, the Company believes that the inclusion of periodic interest rate swap settlements in such measure, which are recognized under GAAP in gain/loss on derivative instruments, is meaningful as interest rate swaps are the primary instrument the Company uses to economically hedge against fluctuations in the Company’s borrowing costs and inclusion of periodic interest rate swap settlements is more indicative of the Company’s total cost of funds than interest expense alone. In the case of net spread and dollar roll income, excluding "catch-up" premium amortization, the Company believes the exclusion of "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost is meaningful as it excludes the cumulative effect from prior reporting periods due to current changes in future prepayment expectations and, therefore, exclusion of such "catch-up" cost or benefit is more indicative of the current earnings potential of the Company’s investment portfolio. In the case of estimated taxable income (loss), the Company believes it is meaningful information as it is directly related to the amount of dividends the Company is required to distribute in order to maintain its REIT qualification status.
However, because such measures are incomplete measures of the Company's financial performance and involve differences from results computed in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, results computed in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, estimated taxable income can include certain information that is subject to potential adjustments up to the time of filing the Company's income tax returns, which occurs after the end of its fiscal year.
