NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of AGNC Investment Corp. (referred throughout this report as the "Company," "we," "us" and "our") are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year.

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all our wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2. Organization

We were organized in Delaware on January 7, 2008 and commenced operations on May 20, 2008 following the completion of our initial public offering. Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "AGNC."

We are internally managed, and our principal objective is to provide our stockholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns through a combination of monthly dividends and tangible net book value accretion. We generate income from the interest earned on our investments, net of associated borrowing and hedging costs, and net realized gains and losses on our investment and hedging activities.

We operate to qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"). As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually 90% of our taxable income, and we will generally not be subject to U.S. federal or state corporate income tax to the extent that we distribute our annual taxable income to our stockholders on a timely basis. It is our intention to distribute 100% of our taxable income, after application of available tax attributes, within the limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code, which may extend into the subsequent tax year.

We invest primarily in Agency residential mortgage-backed securities ("Agency RMBS") for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE") or a U.S. Government agency. We also invest in other types of mortgage and mortgage-related securities, such as credit risk transfer ("CRT") securities and non-Agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("non-Agency RMBS" and "CMBS," respectively), where repayment of principal and interest is not guaranteed by a GSE or U.S. Government agency, and in other investments in, or related to, the housing, mortgage or real estate markets. We fund our investments primarily through borrowings structured as repurchase agreements.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Securities

Agency RMBS consist of residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac," and together with Fannie Mae, the "GSEs") or the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae").

CRT securities are risk sharing instruments issued by the GSEs, and similarly structured transactions issued by third-party market participants, that synthetically transfer a portion of the risk associated with credit losses within pools of conventional residential mortgage loans from the GSEs and/or third parties to private investors. Unlike Agency RMBS, full repayment of the original principal balance of CRT securities is not guaranteed by a GSE or U.S. Government agency; rather, "credit risk transfer" is achieved by writing down the outstanding principal balance of the CRT securities if credit losses on a related pool of loans exceed certain thresholds. By reducing the amount that they are obligated to repay to holders of CRT securities, the GSEs and/or other third parties offset credit losses on the related loans.

Non-Agency RMBS and CMBS (together, "Non-Agency MBS") are backed by residential and commercial mortgage loans, respectively, packaged and securitized by a private institution, such as a commercial bank. Non-Agency MBS typically benefit

from credit enhancements derived from structural elements, such as subordination, overcollateralization or insurance, but nonetheless carry a higher level of credit exposure than Agency RMBS.

All of our securities are reported at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities, requires that at the time of purchase, we designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, depending on our ability and intent to hold such security to maturity. Alternatively, we may elect the fair value option of accounting for securities pursuant to ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. Prior to fiscal year 2017, we primarily designated our investment securities as available-for-sale. On January 1, 2017, we began electing the fair value option of accounting for all investment securities newly acquired after such date. Unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI"), whereas unrealized gains and losses on securities for which we elected the fair value option, or are classified as trading, are reported in net income through other gain (loss). Upon the sale of a security designated as available-for-sale, we determine the cost of the security and the amount of unrealized gain or loss to reclassify out of accumulated OCI into earnings based on the specific identification method. In our view, the election of the fair value option simplifies the accounting for investment securities and more appropriately reflects the results of our operations for a reporting period by presenting the fair value changes for these assets in a manner consistent with the presentation and timing of the fair value changes for our derivative instruments.

We generally recognize gains or losses through net income on available-for-sale securities only if the security is sold; however, if the fair value of a security declines below its amortized cost and we determine that it is more likely than not that we will incur a realized loss on the security when we sell the asset, we will recognize the difference between the amortized cost and the fair in net income as a component of other gain (loss). Since all of our available-for-sale designated securities consist of Agency RMBS, we do not have an allowance for credit losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we have not recognized any impairment losses on our available-for-sale securities through net income.

Interest Income

Interest income is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount of the investment securities and their contractual terms. Premiums or discounts associated with the purchase of Agency RMBS and non-Agency MBS of high credit quality are amortized or accreted into interest income, respectively, over the projected lives of the securities, including contractual payments and estimated prepayments, using the effective interest method in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.

We estimate long-term prepayment speeds of our mortgage securities using a third-party service and market data. The third-party service provider estimates prepayment speeds using models that incorporate the forward yield curve, primary to secondary mortgage rate spreads, current mortgage rates, mortgage rates of the outstanding loans, age and size of the outstanding loans, loan-to-value ratios, interest rate volatility and other factors. We review the prepayment speeds estimated by the third-party service for reasonableness with consideration given to both historical prepayment speeds and current market conditions. If based on our assessment, we believe that the third-party model does not fully reflect our expectations of the current prepayment landscape, such as during periods of elevated market uncertainty or unique market conditions, we may make adjustments to the models. We review our actual and anticipated prepayment experience on at least a quarterly basis and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between (i) our previous estimate of future prepayments and (ii) actual prepayments to date and our current estimate of future prepayments. We are required to record an adjustment in the current period to premium amortization / discount accretion for the cumulative effect of the difference in the effective yields as if the recalculated yield had been in place as of the security's acquisition date through the reporting date.

At the time we purchase CRT securities and non-Agency MBS that are not of high credit quality, we determine an effective yield based on our estimate of the timing and amount of future cash flows and our cost basis. Our initial cash flow estimates for these investments are based on our observations of current information and events and include assumptions related to interest rates, prepayment rates and the impact of default and severity rates on the timing and amount of credit losses. On at least a quarterly basis, we review the estimated cash flows and make appropriate adjustments based on inputs and analysis received from external sources, internal models, and our judgment regarding such inputs and other factors. Any resulting changes in effective yield are recognized prospectively based on the current amortized cost of the investment adjusted for credit impairments, if any.

Repurchase Agreements

We finance the acquisition of securities for our investment portfolio primarily through repurchase transactions under master repurchase agreements. Pursuant to ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, we account for repurchase transactions as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contractual amounts (cost), plus accrued interest. Our repurchase agreements typically have maturities of less than one year but may extend up to five years or more.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Obligation to Return Securities Borrowed under Reverse Repurchase Agreements

We borrow securities to cover short sales of U.S. Treasury securities through reverse repurchase transactions under our master repurchase agreements (see Derivative Instruments below). We account for these as securities borrowing transactions and recognize an obligation to return the borrowed securities at fair value on the balance sheet based on the value of the underlying borrowed securities as of the reporting date. We may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements to earn a yield on excess cash balances. The securities received as collateral in connection with our reverse repurchase agreements mitigate our credit risk exposure to counterparties. Our reverse repurchase agreements typically have maturities of 30 days or less.

Derivative Instruments

We use a variety of derivative instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to market risks, including interest rate, prepayment, extension and liquidity risks. The objective of our risk management strategy is to reduce fluctuations in net book value over a range of interest rate scenarios. In particular, we attempt to mitigate the risk of the cost of our variable rate liabilities increasing during a period of rising interest rates. The primary instruments that we use are interest rate swaps, options to enter into interest rate swaps ("swaptions"), U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. We also use forward contracts in the Agency RMBS "to-be-announced" market, or TBA securities, to invest in and finance Agency securities and to periodically reduce our exposure to Agency RMBS.

We account for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). ASC 815 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and to measure those instruments at fair value. None of our derivative instruments have been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes under the provisions of ASC 815, consequently changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are reported in gain (loss) on derivative instruments and other securities, net in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Our derivative agreements generally contain provisions that allow for netting or setting off derivative assets and liabilities with the counterparty; however, we report related assets and liabilities on a gross basis in our consolidated balance sheets. Derivative instruments in a gain position are reported as derivative assets at fair value and derivative instruments in a loss position are reported as derivative liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments and periodic settlements related to our derivative instruments are recorded in gain (loss) on derivative instruments and other securities, net in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Cash receipts and payments related to derivative instruments are classified in our consolidated statements of cash flows according to the underlying nature or purpose of the derivative transaction, generally in the investing section.

Interest rate swap agreements

We use interest rate swaps to economically hedge the variable cash flows associated with our borrowings made under repurchase agreements. Under our interest rate swap agreements, we typically pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate ("payer swaps") based on a short-term benchmark rate, such as the Overnight Index Swap Rate ("OIS"), Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Our interest rate swaps typically have terms from one to 10 years but may extend up to 20 years or more. Our interest rate swaps are centrally cleared through a registered commodities exchange. The clearing exchange requires that we post an "initial margin" amount determined by the exchange, which is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the exchange from the interest rate swap's maximum estimated single-day price movement. We also exchange daily settlements of "variation margin" based upon changes in fair value, as measured by the exchange. Pursuant to rules governing central clearing activities, we recognize variation margin settlements as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the interest rate swap asset or liability.

Interest rate swaptions

We purchase interest rate swaptions to help mitigate the potential impact of larger, more rapid changes in interest rates on the performance of our investment portfolio. Interest rate swaptions provide us the option to enter into an interest rate swap agreement for a predetermined notional amount, stated term and pay and receive interest rates in the future. Our interest rate swaption agreements are not subject to central clearing. The premium paid for interest rate swaptions is reported as an asset in our consolidated balance sheets. The difference between the premium paid and the fair value of the swaption is reported in gain (loss) on derivative instruments and other securities, net in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. If a swaption expires unexercised, the realized loss on the swaption would be equal to the premium paid. If we sell or exercise a swaption, the realized gain or loss on the swaption would be equal to the difference between the cash or the fair value of the underlying interest rate swap and the premium paid.

TBA securities

A TBA security is a forward contract for the purchase or sale of Agency RMBS at a predetermined price, face amount, issuer, coupon and stated maturity on an agreed-upon future date. The specific Agency RMBS to be delivered into the contract are not known until shortly before the settlement date. We may choose, prior to settlement, to move the settlement of these securities out to a later date by entering into an offsetting TBA position, net settling the offsetting positions for cash, and simultaneously purchasing or selling a similar TBA contract for a later settlement date (together referred to as a "dollar roll transaction"). The Agency securities purchased or sold for a forward settlement date are typically priced at a discount to equivalent securities settling in the current month. This difference, or "price drop," is the economic equivalent of interest income on the underlying Agency securities, less an implied funding cost, over the forward settlement period (referred to as "dollar roll income"). Consequently, forward purchases of Agency securities and dollar roll transactions represent a form of off-balance sheet financing.

We account for TBA contracts as derivative instruments since either the TBA contracts do not settle in the shortest period of time possible or we cannot assert that it is probable at inception and throughout the term of the TBA contract that we will physically settle the contract on the settlement date. We account for TBA dollar roll transactions as a series of derivative transactions.

U.S. Treasury securities

We use U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury futures contracts to mitigate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the performance of our portfolio. We borrow U.S. Treasury securities under reverse repurchase agreements to cover short sales of U.S. Treasury securities. We account for these as securities borrowing transactions and recognize an obligation to return the borrowed securities at fair value on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on the value of the underlying U.S. Treasury security as of the reporting date. Gains and losses associated with U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury futures contracts are recognized in gain (loss) on derivative instruments and other securities, net in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016 the Financial Account Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in prior GAAP with a methodology that better reflects expected credit losses. For financial instruments carried at amortized cost, impairment will be measured as a current estimate of expected lifetime credit losses. For available-for-sale investment securities with changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, the FASB made targeted improvements eliminating the write-down of available-for-sale securities under the "other-than-temporary" impairment model replacing it with an allowance for credit loss model. We adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, which had no material effect on our financial results.

We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. There are no unadopted ASUs that are expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements when adopted or other recently adopted ASUs that had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note 4. Investment Securities

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our investment portfolio consisted of $71.8 billion and $100.4 billion of investment securities, at fair value, respectively, and $21.2 billion and $7.4 billion of net TBA securities, at fair value, respectively. Our net TBA position is reported at its net carrying value of $574 million and $25 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, in derivative assets / (liabilities) on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The net carrying value of our TBA position represents the difference between the fair value of the underlying Agency security in the TBA contract and the cost basis or the forward price to be paid or received for the underlying Agency security.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our investment securities had a net unamortized premium balance of $2.6 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively.

The following tables summarize our investment securities as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, excluding TBA securities, (dollars in millions). Details of our TBA securities as of each of the respective dates are included in Note 6.

Our CRT securities reference the performance of loans underlying Agency RMBS issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, which were subject to their underwriting standards.

The actual maturities of our investment securities are generally shorter than their stated contractual maturities. The actual maturities of our Agency and high credit quality non-Agency RMBS are primarily affected by principal prepayments and to a lesser degree the contractual lives of the underlying mortgages and periodic contractual principal repayments. The actual maturities of our credit-oriented investments are primarily impacted by their contractual lives and default and loss recovery rates. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the weighted average expected constant prepayment rate ("CPR") over the remaining life of our Agency and high credit quality non-Agency RMBS investment portfolio was 14.5% and 10.8%, respectively. Our estimates can differ materially for different securities and thus our individual holdings have a wide range of projected CPRs. The following table summarizes our investments as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 according to their estimated weighted average life classification (dollars in millions):

Note 5. Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase Agreements

We pledge our securities as collateral under our borrowings structured as repurchase agreements with financial institutions. Amounts available to be borrowed are dependent upon the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates, type of security and liquidity conditions within the banking, mortgage finance and real estate industries. If the fair value of our pledged securities declines, lenders will typically require us to post additional collateral or pay down borrowings to re-establish agreed upon collateral requirements, referred to as "margin calls." Similarly, if the fair value of our pledged securities increases, lenders may release collateral back to us. As of March 31, 2020, we had met all margin call requirements. For additional information regarding our pledged assets, please refer to Note 7.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $66.5 billion and $89.2 billion, respectively, of repurchase agreements outstanding used to fund our investment portfolio and temporary holdings of U.S. Treasury securities. The terms and conditions of our repurchase agreements are typically negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Our repurchase agreements with original maturities greater than one year have floating interest rates based on an index plus or minus a fixed spread. The following

table summarizes our borrowings under repurchase agreements by their remaining maturities as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2020					December 31, 2019

Total	$	66,540	1.33	%	89	$	89,182	2.17	%	55

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $20.7 billion and $17.0 billion, respectively, of our repurchase agreements had a remaining maturity of one business day and none of our repurchase agreements were due on demand. As of March 31, 2020, we had $9.3 billion of forward commitments to enter into repurchase agreements, with a weighted average forward start date of 16 days and a weighted average interest rate of 0.74%. As of December 31, 2019, we had $4.5 billion of forward commitments to enter into repurchase agreements, with a weighted average forward start date of 12 days and a weighted average interest rate of 1.60%. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 56% and 40%, respectively, of our repurchase agreement funding was sourced through our wholly-owned captive broker-dealer subsidiary, Bethesda Securities, LLC ("BES"). Amounts sourced through BES include funding from the General Collateral Finance Repo service ("GCF Repo") offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation ("FICC"), which totaled 54% and 38% of our repurchase agreement funding outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $4.9 billion and $10.2 billion, respectively, of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding used primarily to borrow securities to cover short sales of U.S. Treasury securities, for which we had associated obligations to return borrowed securities at fair value of $4.9 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $4.6 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively, of our reverse repurchase agreements were with the FICC sourced through BES.

Note 6. Derivative and Other Hedging Instruments

We hedge a portion of our interest rate risk primarily utilizing interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. We utilize TBA securities primarily as a means of investing in the Agency securities market. For additional information regarding our derivative instruments and our overall risk management strategy, please refer to the discussion of derivative and other hedging instruments in Note 3.

Note 7. Pledged Assets

Our funding agreements require us to fully collateralize our obligations under the agreements based upon our counterparties' collateral requirements and their determination of the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates, credit quality and liquidity conditions within the investment banking, mortgage finance and real estate

industries. Our derivative contracts similarly require us to fully collateralize our obligations under such agreements, which will vary over time based on similar factors as well as our counterparties' determination of the value of the derivative contract. We are typically required to post initial margin upon execution of derivative transactions, such as under our interest rate swap agreements and TBA contracts, and subsequently post or receive variation margin based on daily fluctuations in fair value. Our brokerage and custody agreements and the clearing organizations utilized by our wholly-owned captive broker-dealer subsidiary, Bethesda Securities, LLC, also require that we post minimum daily clearing deposits. If we breach our collateral requirements, we will be required to fully settle our obligations under the agreements, which could include a forced liquidation of our pledged collateral.

Our counterparties also apply a "haircut" to our pledged collateral, which means our collateral is valued at slightly less than market value and limits the amount we can borrow against our securities. This haircut reflects the underlying risk of the specific collateral and protects our counterparty against a change in its value. Our agreements do not specify the haircut; rather haircuts are determined on an individual transaction basis. Consequently, our funding agreements and derivative contracts expose us to credit risk relating to potential losses that could be recognized if our counterparties fail to perform their obligations under such agreements. We minimize this risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings or to registered clearinghouses and U.S. government agencies, and we monitor our positions with individual counterparties. In the event of a default by a counterparty, we may have difficulty obtaining our assets pledged as collateral to such counterparty and may not receive payments as and when due to us under the terms of our derivative agreements. In the case of centrally cleared instruments, we could be exposed to credit risk if the central clearing agency or a clearing member defaults on its respective obligation to perform under the contract. However, we believe that the risk is minimal due to the clearing exchanges' initial and daily mark-to-market margin requirements, clearinghouse guarantee funds and other resources that are available in the event of a clearing member default.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our maximum amount at risk with any counterparty related to our repurchase agreements, excluding the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, was less than 6% and 4%, respectively, of our tangible stockholders' equity (measured as the excess of the value of collateral pledged over the amount of our repurchase liabilities). The following table summarizes certain characteristics of our repurchase agreements outstanding with counterparties representing amounts at risk greater than or equal to 5% of our stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2020 (dollars in millions):

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Certain of our repurchase agreements and derivative transactions are governed by underlying agreements that generally provide for a right of setoff under master netting arrangements (or similar agreements), including in the event of default or in the event of bankruptcy of either party to the transactions. We present our assets and liabilities subject to such arrangements on a gross basis in our consolidated balance sheets. The following tables present information about our assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements and can potentially be offset on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in millions):

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

We determine the fair value of financial instruments based on our estimate of the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the instrument as of the measurement date. We categorize a financial instrument within the hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:


•	Level 1 Inputs —Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical unrestricted assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.


•	Level 2 Inputs —Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.


•	Level 3 Inputs —Instruments with primarily unobservable market data that cannot be corroborated.

We typically obtain price estimates from multiple third-party pricing services and dealers or, if applicable, the registered clearing exchange. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis.

U.S. Treasury securities and futures prices - are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets and are classified as Level 1 assets.

TBA securities - are valued using prices obtained from third-party pricing sources based on pricing models that reference recent trading activity.

Interest rate swaps - are valued using the daily settlement price, or fair value, determined by the clearing exchange based on a pricing model that references observable market inputs, including current benchmark rates and the forward yield curve.

Interest rate swaptions - are valued using prices obtained from the counterparty and other third-party pricing models. The pricing models are based on the value of the future interest rate swap that we have the option to enter into as well as the remaining length of time that we have to exercise the option based on observable market inputs, adjusted for non-performance risk, if any.

Investment securities - are valued based on prices obtained from multiple third-party pricing services and non-binding dealer quotes. These pricing sources utilize various valuation approaches, including market and income approaches. For Agency RMBS, the pricing sources primarily utilize a matrix pricing technique that interpolates the estimated fair value based on observed quoted prices for forward contracts in the Agency RMBS "to-be-announced" market ("TBA securities") of the same coupon, maturity and issuer, adjusted to reflect the specific characteristics of the pool of mortgages underlying the Agency security, which may include maximum loan balance, loan vintage, loan-to-value ratio, geography and other characteristics as may be appropriate. For other investment securities, the pricing sources primarily utilize discounted cash flow model-derived pricing techniques to estimate the fair value. Such models incorporate market-based discount rate assumptions based on observable inputs such as recent trading activity, credit data, volatility statistics, benchmark interest rate curves, spread measurements to benchmark curves and other market data that are current as of the measurement date and may include certain unobservable inputs, such as assumptions of future levels of prepayment, defaults and loss severities.

The availability of observable inputs can be affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace and other characteristics particular to the instrument. We make inquiries of third-party pricing sources to understand the significant inputs and assumptions they used to determine their prices and that they are derived from orderly transactions, particularly during periods of elevated market turbulence and reduced market liquidity. We also review third-party price estimates and perform procedures to validate their reasonableness, including an analysis of the range of estimates for each position, comparison to recent trade activity for similar securities and for consistency with market conditions observed as of the measurement date. While we do not adjust prices we obtain from pricing sources, we will exclude prices for securities from our estimation of fair value if we determine based on our validation procedures and our market knowledge and expertise that the price is significantly different from what observable market data would indicate and we cannot obtain an understanding from the third-party source as to the significant inputs used to determine the price.

The markets for interest rate swap, swaption and TBA derivatives and for the investment securities that we invest in are considered to be active markets such that participants transact with sufficient frequency and volume to provide transparent pricing information on an ongoing basis. The liquidity of these markets and the similarity of our securities and derivative instruments to those actively traded enable our pricing sources and us to observe quoted prices in the market and utilize those prices as a basis for formulating fair value measurements. Consequently, we classify these instruments as Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, based on their categorization within the valuation hierarchy (in millions). There were no transfers between valuation hierarchy levels during the periods presented.

Excluded from the table above are financial instruments presented in our consolidated financial statements at cost. The fair value of our repurchase agreements was approximately $66.8 billion as of March 31, 2020, compared to our cost of $66.5 billion, based on lower prevailing interest rates observed in the repo market compared to our outstanding repurchase agreements. The fair value of our repurchase agreements, as of December 31, 2019, approximated cost as the prevailing rates observed in the repo market largely corresponded to our outstanding repurchase agreements. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and other payables were determined to approximate cost, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, due to their short duration. We estimate the fair value of these instruments carried at cost using "Level 1" or "Level 2" inputs.

Note 9. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing (i) net income (loss) available (attributable) to common stockholders by (ii) the sum of our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of vested but not yet issued time and performance-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") outstanding for the period granted under our long-term incentive program to employees and non-employee Board of Directors. Diluted net income (loss) per common share assumes the issuance of all potential common stock equivalents unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase the income per common share. Our potential common stock equivalents consist of unvested time and performance-based RSUs. The following table presents the computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the periods indicated (shares and dollars in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
Weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding	547.5			536.3
Weighted average number of fully vested restricted stock units outstanding	0.5			0.4
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic	548.0			536.7
Weighted average number of dilutive unvested restricted stock units outstanding	—			0.5
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - diluted	548.0			537.2
Net income (loss) available (attributable) to common stockholders	$	(2,442	)	$	255
Net income (loss) per common share - basic	$	(4.46	)	$	0.48
Net income (loss) per common share - diluted	$	(4.46	)	$	0.47

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, 1.2 million of potentially dilutive unvested time and performance based RSUs outstanding were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the period.

Note 10. Stockholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to designate and issue up to 10.0 million shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series. As of March 31, 2020, 13,800, 10,350, 16,100 and 23,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as 7.00% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, 6.875% Series D Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, 6.50% Series E Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 6.125% Series F Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, respectively, (referred to as "Series C, D, E and F Preferred Stock", respectively). During February 2020, we issued $575 million, or 23,000 shares, of 6.125% Series F Preferred Stock, for net proceeds of $557 million. As of March 31, 2020, 13,000, 9,400, 16,100 and 23,000 shares of Series C, D, E and F Preferred Stock, respectively, were issued and outstanding, with an aggregate carrying value of $1,489 million and aggregate liquidation preference of $1,538 million. Each share of preferred stock is represented by 1,000 depositary shares.

Our preferred stock ranks senior to our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Our preferred stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and each series of preferred stock ranks on parity with one another. Under certain circumstances upon a change of control, our preferred stock is convertible to shares of our common stock. Holders of our preferred stock and depositary shares underlying our preferred stock have no voting rights, except under limited conditions. Beginning on each series' optional redemption date, we may redeem shares at $25.00 per depositary share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared), exclusively at our option.

The following table includes a summary of preferred stock depositary shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2020 (dollars and shares in millions):



Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ¹	Issuance Date	Depositary Shares Issued and Outstanding	Carrying Value		Aggregate Liquidation Preference		Fixed Rate	Optional Redemption Date ²	Fixed-to-Floating Rate Conversion Date	Floating Annual Rate
Series C	August 22, 2017	13.0	315		325		7.000%	October 15, 2022	October 15, 2022	3M LIBOR + 5.111%

________________________________


1.	Fixed-to-floating rate redeemable preferred stock accrue dividends at an annual fixed rate of the $25.00 liquidation preference per depositary share from the issuance date up to, but not including, the fixed-to-floating rate conversion date; thereafter, dividends will accrue on a floating rate basis equal to 3-month LIBOR plus a fixed spread.


2.	Shares may be redeemed prior to our optional redemption date under certain circumstances intended to preserve our qualification as a REIT for U.S federal income tax purposes.

At-the-Market Offering Program

We are authorized by our Board of Directors to enter into agreements with sales agents to publicly offer and sell shares of our common stock in privately negotiated and/or at-the-market transactions from time-to-time up to a maximum aggregate offering price of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we sold 26.7 million shares of our common stock under the sales agreements for proceeds of $439 million, or $16.46 per common share, net of offering costs. As of March 31, 2020, shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $26 million remained authorized for issuance under this program through June 14, 2021.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

From time-to-time we are authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares of our common stock under certain conditions. In July 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, we had $0.9 billion of common stock remaining available for repurchase.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following table summarizes changes to accumulated OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):

Common Stock Repurchases

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we repurchased 10.1 million shares, or $121 million, of our common stock for an average repurchase price of $12.04 per common share, including transaction costs.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is designed to provide a reader of AGNC Investment Corp.'s consolidated financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for quarterly period ended March 31, 2020. Our MD&A is presented in six sections:


•	Executive Overview


•	Financial Condition


•	Results of Operations


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources


•	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


•	Forward-Looking Statements

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are an internally managed Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). We commenced operations on May 20, 2008 following the completion of our initial public offering. Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "AGNC."

As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually 90% of our taxable income, and we will generally not be subject to U.S. federal or state corporate income tax to the extent that we distribute all our annual taxable income to our stockholders on a timely basis. It is our intention to distribute 100% of our taxable income within the time limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code, which may extend into the subsequent taxable year.

We invest primarily in Agency residential mortgage-backed securities ("Agency RMBS") on a leveraged basis. These investments consist of residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise, such as Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac," and together with Fannie Mae, the "GSEs"), or by a U.S. Government agency, such as Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"). We also invest in other types of mortgage and mortgage-related residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities where repayment of principal and interest is not guaranteed by a GSE or U.S. Government agency and in other investments in, or related to, the housing, mortgage or real estate markets.

Our principal objective is to provide our stockholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns through a combination of monthly dividends and tangible net book value accretion. We generate income from the interest earned on our investments, net of associated borrowing and hedging costs, and net realized gains and losses on our investment and hedging activities. We fund our investments primarily through borrowings structured as repurchase agreements.

The size and composition of our investment portfolio depends on the investment strategies we implement, availability of attractively priced investments, suitable financing to appropriately leverage our investment portfolio and overall market conditions. Market conditions are influenced by a variety of factors, including interest rates, prepayment expectations, liquidity, housing prices, unemployment rates, general economic conditions, government participation in the mortgage market, regulations and relative returns on other assets.

Trends and Recent Market Impacts

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, as a pandemic, and, on March 13, 2020, President Trump declared the COVID-19 outbreak (the "Pandemic") in the U.S. a national emergency. The Pandemic resulted in stay-at-home orders, school closures and widespread business shutdowns globally, significantly adversely affecting worldwide economies. Extensive shutdowns and business reductions in the U.S. were expected to substantially increase unemployment levels and sparked concerns that the U.S. GDP could contract at Depression-era levels. Reactions to the human and economic impacts of the Pandemic led to swift and severe financial market dislocations that had a significant impact on our business and financial results during the first quarter.

The U.S. government has taken actions to reduce the negative impact of the Pandemic. For example, Congress passed multiple rounds of legislation increasing and expanding unemployment benefits, providing direct cash payments to eligible taxpayers, and allocating funds to assist businesses. In March, the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") lowered the federal funds rate target by 150 basis points to the zero-bound range. Importantly, the Fed also committed its unlimited support of the U.S. Treasury and Agency MBS markets through unprecedented levels of asset purchases. The Fed also significantly increased its support for

the repurchase agreement ("repo") funding markets for Treasury and Agency mortgage backed securities by offering to provide up to an additional $1 trillion of daily liquidity to the overnight repo market, in addition to its ongoing open market repo operations. The Federal Housing Finance Administration ("FHFA") also announced large-scale mortgage forbearance programs, and some states enacted bans on foreclosures to protect borrowers and avoid a steep decline in the housing market.

The financial market dislocations during March resulted in a significant decline in the valuations of Agency MBS and other fixed-income products, causing spreads to widen to levels unseen since the depths of 2008 before the Fed's bold and decisive actions began to take hold and stabilized the broader fixed income markets. Despite the Fed's actions, the extreme intra-quarter volatility, coupled with significantly weaker valuations on our holdings of specified pools, drove a 22.9% decline in our tangible net book value per common share, resulting in a negative economic return on tangible common equity of 20.2% for the quarter.

In March, we transitioned to a fully remote work force, ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees. Our prior investments in technology, business continuity planning and cyber security protocols enabled a seamless transition to this new paradigm. Benefit plans offered to all our employees have also helped to ensure their well-being, including comprehensive health insurance benefits, access to 24/7 Teladoc services, on-call family support and mental health services, short and long-term disability benefits and others.

During the first quarter, we prioritized liquidity and risk management in response to adverse market conditions, and, as such, took several actions to mitigate the impact of the severe market volatility and disruptions on our business. Specifically, we repositioned our assets, strategically managed our liquidity and funding exposure, and adjusted our hedge positions. In aggregate, we reduced our investment portfolio by $15 billion to $93 billion as of quarter-end. The net decline in our asset base consisted of principal pay-downs of $4 billion and sales of approximately $25 billion of lower coupon, relatively generic Agency MBS, which were partially replaced with $14 billion of current production coupon TBA securities. Importantly, our sales of these lower coupon generic MBS enabled us to build liquidity while maintaining our higher quality specified pools, as the premiums, or "pay-up" values, for these securities had declined in mid-March to severely depressed levels. Pay-up values improved somewhat prior to quarter-end but still contributed to about half of the decline in our net book value per common share for the quarter.

To further strengthen our liquidity position, we maintained our entire TBA position at our broker-dealer subsidiary, Bethesda Securities, LLC ("BES") and shifted a larger portion of our Agency repo funding to the General Collateral Finance Repo service offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation ("FICC") through BES to 54% of our Agency repo funding, as of March 31, 2020, compared to 38% as of December 31, 2019. The result was a significant reduction in "haircut" levels, and in turn, margin requirements on our funding obligations compared to traditional bi-lateral repo agreements.

Our leverage and liquidity position at the end of March was at normal operating levels. Our "at risk" leverage ratio was 9.4x and our unencumbered assets totaled 54% of our tangible equity, unchanged from December 31, 2019. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional discussion of unencumbered assets as of March 31, 2020).

With the Fed lowering short term rates to near zero, treasury bond yields fell substantially, and interest rate swaps also repriced dramatically lower during the quarter. The decline in interest rates reduced the duration of our assets, which in turn reduced our near term hedging requirements. As such, we reduced our shorter-dated interest rate swap position and our short U.S. Treasury position but also added some longer-dated swaps at very low pay-rates. In aggregate, our interest rate hedge position decreased to 70% of our funding liabilities, inclusive of our net TBA position (at cost), as of March 31, 2020, from 102% as of December 31, 2019, and the average pay-rate on our fixed to floating rate interest rate swaps declined 35 basis points to 0.94% as of March 31, 2020, from December 31, 2019.

Our duration gap, which is a measure of the mismatch between the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities, inclusive of interest rate hedges, ended the quarter near zero. With interest rates at historically low absolute levels, there is significantly more extension risk in our portfolio and in the mortgage market as a whole. Although negative interest rates are certainly possible, we believe the Fed would likely utilize all its monetary policy tools, including asset purchases, providing forward guidance and other measures, before lowering the Fed funds target to a level materially below zero. Given this asymmetric risk profile and the low cost of longer-dated hedges, we anticipate operating with a flat or even negative duration gap in the current environment.

Additionally, as we look ahead, we believe liquidity concerns will give way to fundamental performance metrics, with prepayments and funding being the key determinants of AGNC's prospective returns. Although tremendous uncertainty remains regarding the extent to which the federal government's actions will mitigate the short and long-term negative impacts of the Pandemic on the U.S. economy, we believe our portfolio composition is favorably positioned for the current environment. We have minimal credit exposure, and the GSE guarantee provides timely payment of principal and interest on our Agency holdings. On the prepayment front, we believe social distancing, operational headwinds, and negative credit conditions arising from the Pandemic are likely to persist over the near term, causing meaningful disruptions to the mortgage origination and refinance process. We expect that these disruptions will mitigate increases in aggregate prepayment speeds resulting from today's very low interest

rate environment over the next several quarters. These disruptions, coupled with historically low funding costs, should benefit our net interest spread, offsetting some of the negative impact of our smaller asset base. As conditions ease, we anticipate prepayment activity increasing, assuming rates remain near current levels, but we believe our portfolio will perform relatively well despite faster aggregate prepayments given the concentration of our holdings in low coupon TBA securities and high quality specified pool positions, which have slower prepayment characteristics.

Longer-term risks remain, however. The Fed could prematurely reduce its support of the mortgage and funding markets, and the eventual unwind of its asset purchases could result in renewed strains on the mortgage and broader fixed income markets. Despite the favorable prepayment profile of our portfolio holdings, we could experience a higher than anticipated level of prepayment activity. In addition, after extended forbearance periods, borrower delinquencies could eventually lead to large scale GSE buyouts of delinquent loans from mortgage pools. Increased market volatility could also negatively impact mortgage spreads and reduce liquidity. Although any one of these events could negatively impact our financial position, we believe Agency MBS continue to provide the most attractive risk adjusted returns within the fixed income markets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, our results of operations discussed below include certain non-GAAP financial information, including "economic interest income," "economic interest expense," "net spread and dollar roll income," "net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization," "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."

"Economic interest income" is measured as interest income (GAAP measure), adjusted (i) to exclude "catch-up" premium amortization associated with changes in CPR estimates and (ii) to include TBA dollar roll implied interest income. "Economic interest expense" is measured as interest expense (GAAP measure) adjusted to include TBA dollar roll implied interest expense and interest rate swap periodic income/(cost). "Net spread and dollar roll income, excluding "catch-up" premium amortization" includes (i) the components of economic interest income and economic interest expense and other interest and dividend income (referred to as "adjusted net interest and dollar roll income"), less (ii) total operating expenses (GAAP measure).

By providing such measures, in addition to the related GAAP measures, we believe we give greater transparency into the information used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. We also believe it is important for users of our financial information to consider information related to our current financial performance without the effects of certain measures and one-time events that are not necessarily indicative of our current investment portfolio performance and operations.

Specifically, in the case of "adjusted net interest and dollar roll income," we believe the inclusion of TBA dollar roll income is meaningful as TBAs, which are accounted for under GAAP as derivative instruments with gains and losses recognized in other gain (loss) in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income, are economically equivalent to holding and financing generic Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. Similarly, we believe that the inclusion of periodic interest rate swap settlements in "economic interest expense" is meaningful as interest rate swaps are the primary instrument we use to economically hedge against fluctuations in our borrowing costs and it is more indicative of our total cost of funds than interest expense alone. In the case of "economic interest income" and "net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization," we believe the exclusion of "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost or benefit 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 cost or benefit is more indicative of the current earnings potential of our investment portfolio. In the case of estimated taxable income, we believe it is meaningful information because it directly relates to the amount of dividends we are required to distribute to maintain our REIT qualification status.

However, because such measures are incomplete measures of our 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, our 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 our income tax returns, which occurs after the end of our fiscal year.

Implied interest income from TBA dollar roll transactions is computed as the sum of (i) TBA dollar roll income and (ii) estimated TBA implied funding cost (see Economic Interest Expense and Aggregate Cost of Funds below). TBA 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 and is the economic equivalent to interest income on the underlying Agency securities, less an implied funding cost, over the forward settlement period. Amount is net of TBAs used for hedging purposes. Amount excludes TBA mark-to-market adjustments.


3.	The combined asset yield is calculated on a weighted average basis based on our average investment and TBA balances outstanding during the period and their respective yields.

The principal elements impacting our economic interest income are the size of our average investment portfolio and the yield (actual and implied) on our securities. The following table includes a summary of the estimated impact of each of these elements on our economic interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period (in millions):



Impact of Changes in the Principal Elements Impacting Economic Interest Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. March 31, 2019
				Due to Change in Average
	Total Increase / (Decrease)			Portfolio Size			Asset Yield
Three months ended:
Interest Income (GAAP measure)	$	(215	)	$	62		$	(277	)
Estimated "catch-up" premium amortization due to change in CPR forecast	204			—			204
Interest income, excluding "catch-up" premium amortization	(11		)	62			(73		)
TBA dollar roll income - implied interest income	(24		)	(5		)	(19		)
Economic interest income, excluding "catch-up" amortization (non-GAAP measure)	$	(35	)	$	57		$	(92	)

Our average investment portfolio, inclusive of TBAs, increased 8% (at cost) for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period, largely due to a larger capital base from equity capital raises. The decrease in our average asset yield was due to the combination of changes in asset composition and higher premium amortization cost resulting from faster prepayment expectations.

Leverage

Our primary measure of leverage is our tangible net book value "at risk" leverage ratio, which is measured as the sum of our repurchase agreements and other debt used to fund our investment securities and net TBA position (at cost) (together referred to as "mortgage borrowings") and our net receivable/payable for unsettled investment securities, divided by our total stockholders' equity adjusted to exclude goodwill and other intangible assets.

We include our net TBA position in our measure of leverage because a forward contract to acquire Agency RMBS in the TBA market carries similar risks to Agency RMBS purchased in the cash market and funded with on-balance sheet liabilities. Similarly, a TBA contract for the forward sale of Agency securities has substantially the same effect as selling the underlying Agency RMBS and reducing our on-balance sheet funding commitments. (Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources for further discussion of TBA securities and dollar roll transactions). Repurchase agreements used to fund short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities ("U.S. Treasury repo") are excluded from our measure of leverage due to the temporary and highly liquid nature of these investments. The following table presents a summary of our leverage ratios for the periods listed (dollars in millions):



	Repurchase Agreements and Other Debt ¹						Net TBA Position Long/(Short) ²				Average Tangible Net Book Value "At Risk" Leverage during the Period ³	Tangible Net Book Value "At Risk" Leverage as of Period End ⁴
Quarter Ended	Average Daily Amount		Maximum Daily Amount		Ending Amount		Average Daily Amount		Ending Amount

Tangible net book value "at risk" leverage as of period end represents the sum of our repurchase agreements and other debt used to fund acquisitions of investments securities, net TBA position (at cost) and net receivable/payable for unsettled investment securities outstanding as of period end divided by total stockholders' equity, adjusted to exclude goodwill as of period end.

Economic Interest Expense and Aggregate Cost of Funds

The following table summarizes our economic interest expense and aggregate cost of funds (non-GAAP measures) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in millions), which includes the combination of interest expense on Agency repurchase agreements and other debt (GAAP measure), implied interest expense on our TBA securities and interest rate swap periodic interest (income) cost:



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Economic Interest Expense and Aggregate Cost of Funds ¹	Amount			Cost of Funds		Amount			Cost of Funds
Repurchase agreement and other debt - interest expense (GAAP measure)	$	426		1.80	%	$	541		2.64	%

2.	Reported in gain (loss) on derivative instruments and other securities, net in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The implied funding cost of TBA dollar roll transactions is determined using the price differential, or "price drop," between the TBA price for current month settlement versus the TBA price for forward month settlement 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 for all TBA transactions is weighted based on our daily average TBA balance outstanding for the period.


4.	The combined cost of funds for total mortgage borrowings outstanding, before interest rate swap costs, is calculated on a weighted average basis based on average repo, other debt and TBA balances outstanding during the period and their respective cost of funds.


5.	Interest rate swap periodic interest (income) cost is measured as a percent of average mortgage borrowings outstanding for the period.

The principal elements impacting our economic interest expense are (i) the size of our average mortgage borrowings and interest rate swap portfolio outstanding during the period, (ii) the average interest rate (actual and implied) on our mortgage borrowings and (iii) the average net interest rate paid/received on our interest rate swaps. The following table includes a summary of the estimated impact of these elements on our economic interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period (in millions):



Impact of Changes in the Principal Elements of Economic Interest Expense
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. March 31, 2019
				Due to Change in Average
	Total Increase / (Decrease)			Borrowing / Swap Balance			Borrowing / Swap Rate
Repurchase agreements and other debt interest expense	$	(114	)	$	73		$	(187	)
TBA dollar roll income - implied interest expense	(20		)	(3		)	(17		)
Interest rate swap periodic interest income/cost	52			(48		)	100
Total change in economic interest expense	$	(82	)	$	22		$	(104	)

Our average mortgage borrowings, inclusive of TBAs, increased by 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period largely as a function of our higher asset base. The decrease in the average interest rate (actual and implied) on our mortgage borrowings was largely due to decreases in the Federal Funds rate. The decrease in our interest rate swap periodic interest income was due a decline in the average rate received on our interest rate swaps as the receive leg of our pay-fixed interest rate swaps reset to lower prevailing rates, which was partially offset by a decline in our average pay-rate. The increase in our average interest rate swap position outstanding was due to hedge recomposition. The following table presents a summary of the ratio of our average interest rates swaps outstanding, excluding forward starting swaps, to our average mortgage borrowings and the weighted average pay-fixed / receive-floating rates on our interest rate swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
Average Ratio of Interest Rate Swaps (Excluding Forward Starting Swaps) to Mortgage Borrowings Outstanding	2020			2019
Average Agency repo and other debt outstanding	$	93,538		$	82,070
Average net TBA portfolio outstanding - at cost	$	7,487		$	8,002
Average mortgage borrowings outstanding	$	101,025		$	90,072
Average notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding (excluding forward starting swaps)	$	71,659		$	45,158
Ratio of average interest rate swaps to mortgage borrowings outstanding	71		%	50		%

Average interest rate swap pay-fixed rate (excluding forward starting swaps)	1.22		%	1.97		%
Average interest rate swap receive-floating rate	(1.39		)%	(2.72		)%
Average interest rate swap net pay/(receive) rate	(0.17		)%	(0.75		)%

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had an average forward starting swap balance of $1.5 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. Forward starting interest rate swaps do not impact our economic interest expense and aggregate cost of funds until they commence accruing net interest settlements on their forward start dates. Including forward starting swaps, our average ratio of interest rate swaps outstanding to our average mortgage borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was 72% and 57%, respectively.

Net Interest Spread

The following table presents a summary of our net interest spread (including the impact of TBA dollar roll income, interest rate swaps and excluding "catch-up" premium amortization) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Estimated Taxable Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had estimated taxable income available to common stockholders of $111 million and $196 million (or $0.20 and $0.36 per diluted common share), respectively. Income determined under GAAP differs from income determined under U.S. federal income tax rules because of both temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition. The primary differences are (i) unrealized gains and losses on investment securities and derivative instruments marked-to-market in current income for GAAP purposes, but excluded from taxable income until realized, settled or amortized over the instrument's original term, (ii) timing differences, both temporary and potentially permanent, in the recognition of certain realized gains and losses and (iii) temporary differences related to the amortization of premiums and discounts on investments. Furthermore, our estimated taxable income is subject to potential adjustments up to the time of filing our appropriate tax returns, which occurs after the end of our fiscal year. The following is a reconciliation of our GAAP net income to our estimated taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our business is dependent on our ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity to fund day-to-day operations, fulfill collateral requirements under our funding and derivative agreements, and to satisfy our dividend distribution requirement of at least 90% of our taxable income to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Our primary sources of liquidity are unencumbered cash and securities, borrowings available under repurchase agreements, monthly receipts of principal and interest payments, asset sales and equity offerings. We may also utilize TBA dollar roll transactions to finance Agency RMBS investments.

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources available to meet our obligations and execute our business strategy. In assessing our liquidity, we consider a number of factors, including our current leverage, haircut and minimum collateral levels, access to capital markets, overall market conditions, and the sensitivity of our tangible net book value over a range of scenarios. However, these and other factors impacting our liquidity are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including as described in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risks and Risk Factors sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended (our "2019 Form 10-K") and this Form 10-Q.

Leverage

Our leverage will vary depending on market conditions and our assessment of relative risks and returns, but we generally would expect our leverage to be between six and twelve times the amount of our tangible stockholders' equity, measured as the sum of our total mortgage borrowings and net payable / (receivable) for unsettled investment securities, divided by the sum of our total stockholders' equity adjusted to exclude goodwill. As of March 31, 2020, our tangible net book value "at risk" leverage ratio was 9.4x and, despite the decline in our tangible net book value during the first quarter, was unchanged from December 31, 2019. The following table includes a summary of our mortgage borrowings outstanding, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in millions).

________________________________


1.	Amount excludes $3,513 million and $97 million of repurchase agreements used to fund purchases of U.S. Treasury securities as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Repurchase arrangements involve the sale and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred assets at a future date and are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. We maintain a beneficial interest in the specific securities pledged during the term of each repurchase arrangement and we receive the related principal and interest payments.

The terms and conditions of secured borrowings are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis when each such borrowing is initiated or renewed. The amount borrowed is generally equal to the fair value of the securities pledged, as determined by the lending counterparty, less an agreed-upon discount, referred to as a "haircut." This haircut reflects the underlying risk of the specific collateral and protects our counterparty against a change in its value, but conversely subjects us to counterparty credit risk and limits the amount we can borrow against our investment securities. Interest rates are generally fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Interest may be paid monthly or at the termination of a borrowing at which time we may enter into a new borrowing at prevailing haircuts and rates with the same lending counterparty or repay that counterparty and negotiate financing with a different lending counterparty. None of our repo counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new borrowings at the conclusion of our existing borrowings.

The use of TBA dollar roll transactions increases our funding diversification, expands our available pool of assets, and increases our overall liquidity position, as TBA contracts have lower implied haircuts relative to Agency MBS pools held on balance sheet and funded with repo financing. However, if it were to become uneconomical to roll our TBA contracts into future months we could be required to take physical delivery of the underlying securities and fund those assets with cash or other financing sources, which could reduce our liquidity position, as the liquidity benefit of TBA contracts would be eliminated. The collateral requirements under our TBA contracts are governed by the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division ("MBSD") of the FICC and by our brokerage agreements, which may establish margin levels in excess of the MBSD.

To help manage the adverse impact of interest rate changes on the value of our investment portfolio as well as our cash flows, we utilize an interest rate risk management strategy under which we use derivative financial instruments. In particular, we attempt to mitigate the risk of the cost of our variable rate liabilities increasing at a faster rate than the earnings of our long-term fixed rate assets during a period of rising interest rates. Collateral levels for interest rate derivative agreements are typically governed by the central clearing exchange and the associated futures commission merchants ("FCMs"), which may establish margin levels in excess of the clearing exchange. Collateral levels for interest rate derivative agreements not subject to central clearing are established by the counterparty financial institution.

Collateral Requirements and Unencumbered Assets

Amounts available to be borrowed under our repurchase agreements are dependent upon lender collateral requirements and the lender's determination of the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates, credit quality and liquidity conditions within the investment banking, mortgage finance and real estate industries. In response to declines in the fair value of pledged securities due to changes in market conditions or the publishing of monthly security pay-down factors, lending counterparties typically require that we post additional securities as collateral, pay-down borrowings or fund cash margin accounts with the counterparties in order to re-establish the agreed-upon collateral requirements, referred to as "margin calls." Similarly, if the estimated fair value of our investment securities increases due to changes in interest rates or other factors, counterparties may release collateral back to us. Our derivative agreements also require that we maintain a minimum collateral balance regardless of the value of the derivative instrument based on our counterparties' assessment of risk specific to the derivative instrument and clearing exchange rules.

Collateral requirements under our repurchase and derivative agreements are dependent on our counterparties' determination of the fair value of securities pledged and the "haircut" levels they apply against the value of our securities. Haircuts under repo agreements are typically determined on an individual transaction basis and reflect our counterparties' assessment of the underlying risk associated with the specific collateral. Our derivative agreements also require that we maintain a minimum collateral balance regardless of the value of the derivative instrument based on our counterparties' assessment of risk specific to the derivative instrument and clearing exchange rules. Haircut levels and minimum margin requirements can change overtime and could be expected to increase during periods of elevated market volatility. We are also subject to daily variation margin requirements based on changes in the value of our collateral and, in the case of derivative agreements, changes in the value of the derivative instrument. Daily variation margin requirements under our interest rate derivative agreements also entitle us to receive collateral if the value of amounts owed to us under the derivative instrument exceeds a minimum margin requirement. Our agreements may provide that the valuations of securities securing our obligations under the agreement are to be obtained from a generally recognized source agreed to by both parties to the agreement. Other agreements provide that our counterparty has the sole discretion to determine the value of pledged collateral, but is required to act in good faith in making determinations of value. Our agreements generally provide that in the event of a margin call, collateral must be posted on the same business day, subject to notice requirements. As of March 31, 2020, we had met all our margin requirements.

The value of Agency RMBS is reduced by principal pay-downs on the mortgage pools underlying them. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac publish monthly security pay-down factors for their mortgage pools on the fifth day after month-end and remit payment based on these factors generally on the 25th day after month-end. Counterparties to our bi-lateral repurchase agreements typically assess margin to account for these principal pay-downs when pool level principal payment data becomes available and prior to our receipt of the principal repayment. The FICC assesses margin based on its internally projected pay-down rates on the last day of each month (referred to as the "blackout period exposure adjustment" or "blackout margin"). On the fifth day of the month, the blackout margin is released and collateralization requirements are adjusted to the actual published factor data. Consequently, our liquidity is temporarily reduced each month until we receive payment of the pay-down amounts. We attempt to manage the liquidity risk associated with principal pay-downs by monitoring conditions impacting prepayment rates and through asset selection. As of March 31, 2020, given the current market conditions and elevated prepayment risk associated with historically low interest rates, our portfolio largely consisted of higher coupon specified pool securities, which have a lower risk of prepayment compared to generic Agency RMBS, and TBA securities, which do not expose us to margin calls due to prepayments.

Haircut levels and minimum margin requirements imposed by counterparties reduce the amount of our unencumbered assets and limit the amount we can borrow against our investment securities. As of March 31, 2020, the weighted average haircut on our repurchase agreements was approximately 4.0% of the value of our collateral, inclusive of collateral funded through BES, compared to 4.4% as of December 31, 2019. During the first quarter, haircuts on our Agency RMBS collateral remained stable. Financing for less liquid, credit-oriented securities was significantly impacted by the dislocation in the financial markets in the first quarter; such assets were either not financeable through certain lenders, or haircuts and pricing for such assets increased substantially.

To enhance our liquidity position during the first quarter, we sold lower coupon Agency RMBS securities funded by repurchase agreements and partially replaced them with TBA securities. We maintained our entire TBA position at our broker-dealer subsidiary,

BES, and we shifted a larger portion of our Agency repo funding to the FICC through BES, increasing it to 54% of our Agency repo funding, as of March 31, 2020, from 38% as of December 31, 2019. These actions reduced our average "haircut" level and lowered our aggregate margin requirement compared to our traditional bi-lateral repo agreements. As of March 31, 2020, our unencumbered assets totaled 54% of our tangible net equity, unchanged from December 31, 2019, or $5.0 billion in the aggregate. The majority of our liquidity is held at AGNC, which included $3.5 billion of unencumbered cash and Agency RMBS and $0.3 billion of unencumbered CRT and non-agency securities as of March 31, 2020. We also maintain capital and excess liquidity at BES for regulatory standards, risk management purposes, and to meet expectations of counterparties, its clearing bank and clearing organizations. As of March 31, 2020, our unencumbered assets held at BES totaled approximately $1.2 billion, after being temporarily reduced for “blackout margin” charges posted by BES at the end of the month.

Collateral haircuts and minimum margin requirements imposed by counterparties subject us to counterparty credit risk. We attempt to manage this risk by monitoring our collateral positions and limiting our counterparties to registered clearinghouses and major financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings. We also diversify our funding across multiple counterparties and by region. As of March 31, 2020, we had master repurchase agreements with 47 financial institutions located throughout North America, Europe and Asia, including repo counterparties accessed through BES. BES' direct access to the General Collateral Finance Repo service offered by the FICC and other triparty and bi-lateral repo funding provides us greater depth and diversity of funding at favorable terms relative to traditional bilateral repurchase agreement funding. As of March 31, 2020, $35.4 billion of our repurchase agreement funding was sourced through BES.

The table below includes a summary of our Agency RMBS repurchase agreement funding by number of repo counterparties and counterparty region as of March 31, 2020.

Counter-Party Region	Number of Counter-Parties	Percent of Repurchase Agreement Funding ¹
North America:
FICC	1	53%
Other	27	36%
Total North America	28	89%
Europe	14	9%
Asia	5	2%
Total	47	100%

________________________________


1.	Percent of repurchase agreement funding includes U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements.

As of March 31, 2020, our maximum amount at risk (or the excess value of collateral pledged over our repurchase liabilities) with any of our repurchase agreement counterparties, excluding the FICC, was less than 6% of our tangible stockholders' equity, with our top five repo counterparties, excluding the FICC, representing less than 12% of our tangible stockholders' equity. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 10% of our tangible stockholder's equity was at risk with the FICC. Excluding central clearing exchanges, as of March 31, 2020, our amount at risk with any counterparty to our derivative agreements was less than 1% of our stockholders' equity.

Asset Sales and TBA Eligible Securities

Agency RMBS securities are among the most liquid fixed income securities, and the TBA market is the second most liquid market (after the U.S. Treasury market). The vitality of these markets enables us to sell assets under most market conditions to generate liquidity through direct sales or delivery into TBA contracts, subject to "good delivery" provisions promulgated by Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association ("SIFMA"). As of March 31, 2020, approximately 93% of our fixed rate Agency RMBS portfolio was eligible for TBA delivery, although we will typically conduct outright sales of specified securities when they trade at a premium to generic securities due to their unique attributes.

Equity Capital

The equity capital markets serve as a source of capital to grow our business and to generate liquidity to meet our business objectives. The availability of equity capital is dependent on conditions in the equity capital markets and investor demand for our common and preferred stock. We will typically not issue common stock when the price of our common stock trades below our tangible net book value or issue preferred equity when its cost of capital exceeds acceptable hurdle rates of return on our equity. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to raise additional equity capital at any particular time or on any particular

terms. Furthermore, when the trading price of our common stock is less than our estimate of our current tangible net book value per common share, among other conditions, we may repurchase shares of our common stock. Please refer to Notes 10 and 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further details regarding our recent equity capital transactions.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of March 31, 2020, we did not maintain relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, or special purpose or variable interest entities, established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Additionally, as of March 31, 2020, we had not guaranteed obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into a commitment or intent to provide funding to such entities.

•	the effectiveness of our risk mitigation strategies;


•	conditions in the market for Agency RMBS and other mortgage securities;


•	legislative or regulatory changes that affect our status as a REIT, our exemption from the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the mortgage markets in which we participate; and


•	other risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we do not assume any duty and do not undertake to update forward-looking statements. A further discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from any of our forward-looking statements is included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and this document under Item 1A. Risk Factors. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are interest rate, prepayment, spread, liquidity, extension and credit risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with the fixed income nature of our assets and the short-term, variable rate nature of our financing obligations. Our operating results depend in large part on differences between the income earned on our assets and our cost of borrowing and hedging activities. The costs associated with our borrowings are generally based on prevailing market interest rates. During a period of rising interest rates, our borrowing costs generally will increase while the yields earned on our existing portfolio of leveraged fixed-rate assets will largely remain static. This can result in a decline in our net interest spread. Changes in the level of interest rates can also affect the rate of mortgage prepayments and the value of our assets.

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, we engage in a variety of interest rate management techniques to mitigate the influence of interest rate changes on our net interest income and fluctuations of our tangible net book value. The principal instruments that we use to hedge our interest rate risk are interest rate swaps, swaptions, U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. Our hedging techniques are highly complex and are partly based on assumed levels of prepayments of our assets. If prepayments are slower or faster than assumed, the maturity our investments will also differ from our expectations, which could reduce the effectiveness of our hedging strategies and may cause losses on such transactions and adversely affect our cash flow.

The severity of potential declines in our tangible net book value due to fluctuations in interest rates would depend on our asset, liability and hedge composition at the time, as well as the magnitude and duration of the interest rate change. Primary measures of an instrument's price sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations are its duration and convexity. Duration measures the estimated percentage change in market value of an instrument that would be caused by a parallel change in short and long-term interest rates. The duration of our assets will vary with changes in interest rates and tends to increase when interest rates rise and decrease when interest rates fall. This "negative convexity" generally increases the interest rate exposure of our investment portfolio in excess of what is measured by duration alone.

We estimate the duration and convexity of our assets using both a third-party risk management system and market data. We review the duration estimates from the third-party model and may make adjustments based on our judgment to better reflect any unique characteristics and market trading conventions associated with certain types of securities.

The table below quantifies the estimated changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio (including derivatives and other securities used for hedging purposes) and in our tangible net book value per common share as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 should interest rates go up or down by 50, 75 and 100 basis points, assuming instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve and including the impact of both duration and convexity. All values in the table below are measured as percentage changes from the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates and prepayment projections as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

To the extent that these estimates or other assumptions do not hold true, which is likely in a period of high volatility, actual results could differ materially from our projections. Moreover, if different models were employed in the analysis, materially different projections could result. Lastly, while the table below reflects the estimated impact of interest rate changes on a static portfolio, we actively manage our portfolio and we continuously adjust the size and composition of our asset and hedge portfolio.

2.	Includes the effect of derivatives and other securities used for hedging purposes. Interest rates are floored at 0% in down rate scenarios.

Prepayment Risk

Prepayment risk is the risk that our assets will be repaid at a faster rate than anticipated. Interest rates and numerous other factors affect the rate of prepayments, such as housing prices, general economic conditions, loan age, size and loan-to-value ratios, and GSE buyouts of delinquent loans underlying our securities among. Generally, prepayments increase during periods of falling mortgage interest rates and decrease during periods of rising mortgage interest rates. However, this may not always be the case.

If our assets prepay at a faster rate than anticipated, we may be unable to reinvest the repayments at acceptable yields. If the proceeds are reinvested at lower yields than our existing assets, our net interest income would be negatively impacted. We also amortize or accrete premiums and discounts we pay or receive at purchase relative to the stated principal of our assets into

interest income over their projected lives using the effective interest method. If the actual and estimated future prepayment experience differs from our prior estimates, we are required to record an adjustment to interest income for the impact of the cumulative difference in the effective yield.

Extension Risk

Extension risk is the risk that our assets will be repaid at a slower rate than anticipated and generally increases when interest rates rise. In which case, we may have to finance our investments at potentially higher costs without the ability to reinvest principal into higher yielding securities because borrowers prepay their mortgages at a slower pace than originally expected, adversely impacting our net interest spread, and thus our net interest income.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our investment securities (excluding TBAs) had a weighted average projected CPR of 14.5% and 10.8%, respectively, and a weighted average yield of 2.93% and 3.07%, respectively. The table below presents estimated weighted average projected CPRs and yields for our investment securities should interest rates go up or down instantaneously by 50, 75 and 100 basis points. Estimated yields exclude the impact of retroactive "catch-up" premium amortization adjustments from prior periods due to changes in the projected CPR assumption.

2.	Asset yield based on historical cost basis and does not include the impact of retroactive "catch-up" premium amortization adjustments due to changes in projected CPR.

Spread Risk

Spread risk is the risk that the market spread between the yield on our assets and the yield on benchmark interest rates linked to our interest rate hedges, such as U.S. Treasury rates and interest rate swap rates, may vary. As a levered investor in mortgage-backed securities, spread risk is an inherent component of our investment strategy. Consequently, although we use hedging instruments to attempt to protect against moves in interest rates, our hedges are generally not designed to protect against spread risk, and our tangible net book value could decline if spreads widen.

Fluctuations in mortgage spreads can occur due to a variety of factors, including changes in interest rates, prepayment expectations, actual or anticipated monetary policy actions by the U.S. and foreign central banks, liquidity conditions, required rates of returns on different assets and other market supply and demand factors. The table below quantifies the estimated changes in the fair value of our assets, net of hedges, and our tangible net book value per common share as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 should spreads widen or tighten by 10, 25 and 50 basis points. The estimated impact of changes in spreads is in addition to our interest rate shock sensitivity included in the interest rate shock table above. The table below assumes a spread duration of 4.5 and 5.0 years as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, based on interest rates and prices as of such dates; however, our portfolio's sensitivity to mortgage spread changes will vary with changes in interest rates and in the size and composition of our portfolio. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from our estimates.

2.	Includes the effect of derivatives and other securities used for hedging purposes.

Liquidity Risk

Our liquidity risk principally arises from financing long-term fixed rate assets with shorter-term variable rate borrowings. Future borrowings are dependent upon the willingness of lenders to finance our investments, lender collateral requirements and the lenders’ determination of the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates and liquidity conditions within the commercial banking and mortgage finance industries.

As of March 31, 2020, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources available to execute our business strategy (see Liquidity and Capital Resources in this Form 10-Q for additional details). However, should the value of our collateral or the value of our derivative instruments suddenly decrease, margin calls relating to our funding liabilities and derivative agreements could increase, causing an adverse change in our liquidity position. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will always be able to renew (or roll) our short-term funding liabilities. In addition, our counterparties have the option to increase our haircuts (margin requirements) on the assets we pledge against our funding liabilities, thereby reducing the amount that can be borrowed against an asset even if they agree to renew or roll our funding liabilities. Significantly higher haircuts can reduce our ability to leverage our portfolio or even force us to sell assets, especially if correlated with asset price declines or faster prepayment rates on our assets.

Credit Risk

Our credit sensitive investments, such as CRT and non-Agency securities, expose us to the risk of nonpayment of principal, interest or other remuneration we are contractually entitled to. We are also exposed to credit risk in the event our repurchase agreement counterparties default on their obligations to resell the underlying collateral back to us at the end of the repo term or in the event our derivative counterparties do not perform under the terms of our derivative agreements.

We accept credit exposure related to our credit sensitive assets at levels we deem to be prudent within the context of our overall investment strategy. We attempt to manage this risk through careful asset selection, pre-acquisition due diligence, post-acquisition performance monitoring, and the sale of assets where we identify negative credit trends. We may also manage credit risk with credit default swaps or other financial derivatives that we believe are appropriate. Additionally, we may vary the mix of our interest rate and credit sensitive assets or our duration gap to adjust our credit exposure and/or improve the return profile of our assets, such as when we believe credit performance is inversely correlated with changes in interest rates. Our credit risk related to derivative and repurchase agreement transactions is largely mitigated by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings or to registered central clearinghouses and monitoring concentration levels with any one counterparty. We also continuously monitor and adjust the amount of collateral pledged based on changes in market value.

There is no guarantee that our efforts to manage credit risk will be successful and we could suffer losses if credit performance is worse than our expectations or our counterparties default on their obligations. Excluding central clearing exchanges, as of March 31, 2020, our maximum amount at risk with any counterparty related to our repurchase agreements was less than 6% of our tangible stockholders' equity and less than 1% of tangible stockholders' equity related to our interest rate swap and swaption agreements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" as promulgated under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our "internal control over financial reporting" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Neither we, nor any of our consolidated subsidiaries, are currently subject to any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any litigation threatened against us or any consolidated subsidiary, in each case, that is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operations. You may refer to Part I. Item 3 of our 2019 Form 10-K concerning the resolution and dismissal of litigation involving the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except provided below, there have been no material updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K. The following supplement should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Factors" identified in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K.

The risks we face could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and tangible net book value, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our past results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements we make. The risks described in this report and our 2019 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or not presently deemed material by us, may also impair our operations and performance.

The economic and financial market turbulence resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic (the "Pandemic") has adversely affected our financial results and financial position and could continue to negatively impact our business.

The rapid global outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, has led to substantial financial market volatility and has significantly adversely affected both the U.S. and global economies. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and on, March 13, 2020, President Trump declared the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has resulted in stay-at-home orders, school closures and widespread business shutdowns across the country. These shutdowns and other reductions in business activity have resulted in a contraction of U.S. GDP for the first quarter of 2020 and substantially increased current and projected unemployment levels. While the U.S. federal government and the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") have taken actions to reduce the negative economic impact of the Pandemic, as described in our Executive Overview-Trends and Recent Market Impacts, the extent to which these actions will mitigate the short-term and long-term negative impacts of the Pandemic on the U.S. economy, financial markets and our business is unclear, and the drop in the level of U.S. economic activity from these events could be sustained. The sudden and dramatic change to U.S. and global economic activity due to the Pandemic has resulted in severe financial market dislocations, varying degrees of illiquidity among fixed income assets, and a significant increase in market volatility, and such events may recur, persist or worsen.

The economic and financial market turbulence resulting from the Pandemic negatively impacted our results of operations and our tangible net book value during the first quarter and could continue to negatively impact our business. Each of the "Risk Factors" described in our 2019 Form 10-K could be materially impacted by conditions resulting from the Pandemic. Risks that we believe may be heightened during and following the Pandemic and related developments are described below; however, you should review each of the risk factors described in our 2019 Form 10-K carefully in light of the Pandemic and related developments.

Because the direct and indirect impacts of the Pandemic and related developments are uncertain and depend on future events, they may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not expect to present significant risks.

Model and forecast risks - The Pandemic and its impact on the U.S. and global economies, and the related governmental responses, have been unprecedented. It is difficult to assess or predict the impact of unprecedented events on our business, financial results and condition. Our forecasts and expectations relating to these developments are subject to many uncertainties and may change, perhaps substantially, from our current forecasts and expectations. Furthermore, our analytical models were not designed to incorporate the unique circumstances associated with the Pandemic and related developments. We use analytical models (both those supplied by third parties and proprietary models developed by us) and information supplied by our third-party vendors to value assets; forecast prepayment, default and foreclosure rates; and to manage risk. These predictive models are usually constructed based on historical trends, and the success of relying on such models depends heavily on the correlation between the reported historical data and future events or behavior. As such, the unprecedented economic and financial market events associated with the Pandemic reduce the ability of our models to predict future outcomes and could even render them invalid. Consequently, actual results could differ materially from our projections.

Spread and credit risks - Spread risk is an inherent component of our business and is increased by the use of leverage. Our hedging strategies are not designed to mitigate spread risk, and, thus, wider spreads negatively impact our tangible net book value. Spreads can widen due to a variety of factors, including changes in interest rates, prepayment expectations, actual or anticipated monetary policy actions by the U.S. and foreign central banks, liquidity conditions, required rates of returns on different assets and other market supply and demand factors, nearly all of which have been impacted by the Pandemic and related developments and are likely to continue to be impacted over at least the short to intermediate term as markets continue to grapple with their effects. The unprecedented decline in interest rates, extreme market volatility, and illiquidity across the fixed income markets stemming from these developments resulted in historically wide and volatile spread movements during the first quarter of 2020. The Fed's unprecedented purchases of Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasury securities that began in March have eased conditions somewhat, but markets remain fragile. The Fed has committed its continued support of the U.S. Treasury and Agency RMBS markets and to the liquidity of repo funding markets backed by U.S. Treasury and Agency collateral. However, should the Fed fail to maintain an adequate level of support, prematurely reduce its support or stop its support altogether any number of adverse market reactions could occur, including materially wider spread movements. It is also possible that despite substantial Fed support, the funding market for Agency MBS could still deteriorate if primary dealers are unwilling to pass along the liquidity provided by the Fed to broader market participants. Additionally, an unwinding of the Fed's purchases of Agency and U.S. Treasury securities could severely disrupt the fixed income markets, resulting in interest rate volatility and wider spreads. Should any of these events occur, our tangible net book value and our financial position could be materially adversely impacted. In addition to spread risks, our investments in CRT and non-agency RMBS and CMBS are subject to credit risk, and the Pandemic and related developments may adversely impact the credit quality of those investments and result in our experiencing a loss on these investments.

Prepayment risk - The Pandemic has led to historically low interest rates. Prepayments on our investment securities typically increase when interest rates fall. An increase in prepayments can negatively impact our net interest margin and tangible net book value, which could be material. Over the near term, we anticipate that social distancing, operational headwinds and negative credit conditions arising from the Pandemic are likely to disrupt housing turnover, mortgage originations and refinance activity. These conditions could mitigate an increase in prepayment activity despite the current record low interest rates. However, the extent and duration of any such mitigation is uncertain, and prepayments could materially exceed our expectations. Furthermore, over time, we expect that prepayment activity for much of the mortgage universe will increase as these conditions abate and lenders become increasingly willing to lend. Additionally, technological advances and changes to GSE underwriting requirements, potentially implemented in part or in whole in response to the Pandemic, could lead to materially faster prepayments. It is also possible that after the extended forbearance periods offered by the GSEs, which may extend up to 12 months, borrowers may be unable to resume monthly payments leading to a larger scale of buyouts of delinquent loans from mortgage pools by the GSE's than we anticipate. Furthermore, since prepayment models were not designed to incorporate the unique circumstances associated with the Pandemic, they may be less predictive of prepayment activity, hindering our ability to accurately forecast prepayment rates.

Extension risk - The social distancing measures instituted to combat the Pandemic have resulted in curtailed or ceased activity in many parts of the economy and have raised fears that the U.S. and global economies will enter a deep and protracted recession, or even depression. These fears have led to a historic decline in interest rates; however, should the U.S. economy recover faster than anticipated, interest rates could rise rapidly. Should this occur, the duration of our mortgage portfolio could extend faster than we expect and negatively impact our net book value. Although we expect to hedge against an increase in interest rates and manage our net duration gap, we cannot guarantee that our hedges or other funding and liability management activities will adequately protect us against extension risk and, thus, our tangible net book value could be materially adversely impacted should this occur.

Hedging and interest rate risks - Our hedges are intended to limit the adverse effect of changes in interest rates on our assets and cost of funds. Hedging strategies are complex and we use analytical models to help manage our risk. Since analytical models may be less reliable given the unprecedented events stemming from the Pandemic, there is an increased risk that our hedging strategies may be less effective, or even ineffective, which could materially adversely affect our financial position and tangible net book value. There are also many uncertainties associated with the Pandemic and the short and long-term economic and fiscal tolls are difficult to predict. With interest rates at or near their zero-bound range, an actual or anticipated severe economic recession or depression could cause interest rates to fall below zero. Negative rates could result in material losses on our interest rate hedges and negatively impact our net interest margin, adversely affecting our net income and tangible net book value. Although we expect that the Fed would use all its monetary policy tools to prevent negative rates, there is no guarantee that it will do so or that it would be successful at keeping rates above zero.

Liquidity risks - Turbulent market conditions resulting from the Pandemic increase the risk of margin calls under our funding and derivative agreements. If the value of our pledged collateral or if the value of our interest rate hedges declines, we will be required to post additional collateral. Counterparties may also increase haircut levels or overall margin requirements and generally have the right to unilaterally value our collateral. Counterparties to certain agreements, such as TBA clearing agreements, may only post collateral to us up to certain limits, resulting in our inability to receive collateral when it would otherwise have been due. Certain assets, such as credit assets, may not be financeable, or haircuts and pricing for such assets could increase substantially, particularly in periods of market volatility. Lastly, to the extent we are entitled to receive collateral from counterparties, they may be unwilling or unable to return collateral in a timely manner. If conditions result in our inability to meet margin calls, we could default on our obligations and be forced to sell assets under adverse conditions. In addition, if counterparties fail to fulfill their obligations to us, we could experience a loss. We may be unable to raise additional equity capital or procure funding, at all or on favorable terms, to address liquidity or other needs.

Human capital and business resiliency risks - Since mid-March, all of our workforce has been working remotely consistent with our business continuity plan. Stay-at-home orders in effect in the states and localities where our workforce is located may be extended in whole or in part for several additional weeks or months. The strain on our workforce and our business operations caused by this shift in our operating environment may result in business interruptions, reduced productivity and other adverse impacts on our operations. While our technological systems to date have continued to function with our workforce working remotely, this telework arrangement increases the risk of technological or cybersecurity incidents that could negatively affect our business operations. This telework arrangement, the risk that our employees or their family members could contract COVID-19 and our reliance for some services and functions on third parties, which are largely working under similar conditions, could also adversely affect our ability to maintain effective controls and procedures, which could result in material errors in our reported results or disclosures that are not complete or accurate.
