Two Harbors Investment Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
MSR Provides Ballast When Agency Spreads Fluctuate
Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), an MSR + Agency RMBS real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Quarterly Summary
- Reported book value of $15.21 per common share, and declared a fourth quarter common stock dividend of $0.45 per share, representing a 2.0% quarterly economic return on book value.(1)
- Generated Comprehensive Income of $38.9 million, or $0.40 per weighted average basic common share.
- Generated Income Excluding Market-Driven Value Changes (IXM) of $0.39 per weighted average basic common share.(2)
- Issued 7.0 million shares of common stock through at-the-market (ATM) offering program for total proceeds of $97.8 million.
- Repurchased 221,806 shares of preferred stock.(3)
- Settled $829.1 million unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSR through flow-sale acquisitions.
Annual Summary
- Closed acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC, reinforcing commitment to MSR.
- Declared dividends of $1.95 per common share.
- Yielded 2023 total economic return on book value of (3.2)%.(1)
- Issued 17.1 million shares of common stock through both an underwritten common stock offering and ATM offering program.
- Repurchased 735,624 shares of preferred stock, contributing approximately $0.04 to book value per common share and lowering ratio of preferred stock to common equity.(3)
- Settled $27.5 billion UPB of MSR through flow-sale acquisitions and bulk purchases.
“I’m proud of what we achieved this year to drive value for our shareholders,” stated Bill Greenberg, Two Harbors’ President and CEO. “We navigated extreme interest rate and spread volatility by actively managing our portfolio and increasing our allocation to MSR. We also strategically managed our capital structure through the issuance of common stock and repurchases of preferred stock. Most notably, we closed the acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC, and transferred substantially all of our portfolio of MSR to their platform. Looking ahead to 2024, we believe that our portfolio, with less mortgage spread duration than portfolios without MSR, is very well positioned to benefit from the current and expected market environments.”

Includes 10,297 Series A, 58,822 Series B and 152,687 Series C preferred shares for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 236,183 Series A, 273,894 Series B and 225,547 Series C preferred shares for the year ended December 31, 2023. |
“In a volatile fourth quarter, mortgage spreads and implied volatility remained positively correlated to interest rates, while prepayment speeds on our MSR slowed by approximately 20%,” stated Nick Letica, Two Harbors’ Chief Investment Officer. “While in a historical context Agency spreads are attractive, they are also at the tighter end the recent range, and, therefore, we are maintaining a neutral leverage exposure. Despite the decline in mortgage rates over the quarter, our MSR portfolio, with a weighted average coupon rate of only 3.45%, still has less than 1% of its balances with 50 basis points or more of rate incentive to refinance, which should keep prepayment rates low. Given the levered returns available in the market for our combined strategies, we remain optimistic about the return potential of our portfolio.”

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying investor presentation present non-GAAP financial measures, such as income excluding market-driven value changes, earnings available for distribution and related per basic common share measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the company provide supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the company’s results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. However, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company’s GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. See the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables on pages 10 and 11 of this release.

_____________
(1) |
The market-driven value changes adjustment for each of RMBS and other Agency securities, MSR, swap and swaptions and TBA represents unexpected price changes for the referenced period. As defined, the calculation of IXM includes modeled price changes that are measured daily based on a “Realized Forwards” methodology, which includes the assumption that spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility factored into the previous day ending fair value are unchanged. Unexpected price changes represent the differences between (a) actual spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility, and (b) the spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility that were factored into the previous day ending fair value. Unexpected price changes are measured daily and used to determine the portion of actual market price changes not attributable to modeled price changes. The reported market-driven value changes adjustment for each of RMBS and other Agency securities, MSR, swap and swaptions and TBA is the sum of all daily unexpected price changes for the referenced period. Please refer to end notes (2) through (5) below for further information. |
(2) |
RMBS and other Agency securities market-driven value changes refers to the sum of interest income, realized and unrealized gains and losses on RMBS and other Agency securities, less the sum of the realization of RMBS and other Agency securities cash flows which incorporates actual prepayments, changes in RMBS and other Agency securities accrued interest, and modeled price changes. Modeled price changes are measured daily based on a “Realized Forwards” methodology, which includes the assumption that spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility factored into the previous day ending fair value are unchanged. RMBS and other Agency securities includes inverse interest-only Agency RMBS which are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. |
(3) |
MSR market-driven value changes refers to the sum of servicing income, servicing expenses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on MSR, less the sum of the realization of MSR cash flows which incorporates actual prepayments, servicing income and servicing expenses, and modeled price changes. Modeled price changes are measured daily based on a “Realized Forwards” methodology, which includes the assumption that spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility factored into the previous day ending fair value are unchanged. |
(4) |
Swap and swaption market-driven value changes refers to the net interest spread and realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swap and swaption agreements, less the swaps daily IXM that is equal to the previous day ending fair value multiplied by the overnight SOFR and swaptions daily IXM that is equal to the previous day ending fair value multiplied by the realized forward rate. |
(5) |
TBA market-driven value changes refers to the total realized and unrealized gains and losses, less the daily zero-volatility OAS less the implied repo spread, multiplied by the previous day ending fair value. |
(6) |
Certain operating expenses predominantly consists of expenses incurred in connection with the company’s ongoing litigation with PRCM Advisers LLC. It also includes certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the company’s acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC. |
(7) |
Income Excluding Market-Driven Value Changes, or IXM, is a non-GAAP measure defined as total comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders, excluding market-driven value changes on the aggregate portfolio, provision for income taxes associated with market-driven value changes, certain operating expenses and gains on the repurchase and retirement of preferred stock and convertible senior notes. As defined, IXM includes the realization of portfolio cash flows which incorporates actual prepayments, changes in portfolio accrued interest, servicing income and servicing expenses, and certain modeled price changes. These modeled price changes are measured daily based on a “Realized Forwards” methodology, which includes the assumption that spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure and volatility factored into the previous day ending fair value are unchanged. Assumptions for spreads, forward interest rates, shape of the term structure, volatility and the previous day ending fair value include applicable market data, data from third-party brokers and pricing vendors and management’s assessment. This applies to RMBS, MSR and derivatives, as applicable, and is net of all operating expenses and provision for income taxes associated with IXM. The purpose of presenting IXM, and the various adjustments related to market-driven value changes and certain legal expenses and acquisition transaction costs, is to provide management, analysts and investors with a profit and loss attribution that allows them to better understand the sources of returns from the company’s investment portfolio, operating expenses and tax expenses. IXM provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers. IXM is one of several measures the company’s board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on the company’s common stock and should not be considered an indication of taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends the company may declare. |

EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate portfolio, gains and losses on repurchases of preferred stock, 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 certain operating 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 certain 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. |
