Safe Harbor Statement This presentation contains, in addition to historical information, certain forward-looking statements that are based on our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future performance and events. In particular, statements regarding future economic performance, finances, and expectations and objectives of management constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not historical in nature and can be identified by words such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates," “targets,” “goals,” “future,” “likely” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based upon information available at the time the statements are made and reflect the best judgment of our senior management, forward-looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results, including, among other things, those described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the caption “Risk Factors.” Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: the state of the U.S. economy generally or in specific geographic regions; the state of the commercial real estate market and the availability and cost of our target assets; defaults by borrowers in paying debt service on outstanding items and borrowers’ abilities to manage and stabilize properties; actions and initiatives of the U.S. Government and changes to U.S. Government policies; our ability to obtain financing arrangement on favorable terms if at all; general volatility of the securities markets in which we invest; changes in interest rates and the market value of our investments; rates of default or decreased recovery rates on our target investments; the degree to which our hedging strategies may or may not protect us from interest rate volatility; changes in governmental regulations, tax law and rates, and similar matters; and our ability to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this press release. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

Appendix


 
Fourth Quarter 2017 Earnings Summary • Loan closings weighted towards the end of the fourth quarter • Dividend of $0.38 driven by Core Earnings but also taxable income recognized in the quarter • Taxable income was $17.9 million, or $0.41 per common share, and included $3.4 million of tax interest income accretion that was greater than GAAP interest income accretion due to the tax versus GAAP treatment of the formation transaction that occurred concurrent with our IPO – Estimate approximately $13 million of taxable accretion to be recognized through the end of 2019(2) • Expect taxable income over the next 2-3 years, on a declining basis, to be higher than Core Earnings as a result of the taxable accretion 25 SUMMARY INCOME STATEMENT ($ IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Interest Income $37.1 Interest Expense ($16.1) Net Interest Income $21.0 Operating Expenses $6.8 Net Income $14.1 Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding 43,235,103 Net Income Per Share $0.33 GAAP NET INCOME TO CORE EARNINGS RECONCILIATION(1) ($ IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) GAAP Net Income $14.1 Adjustments: Non-Cash Equity Compensation $0.4 Core Earnings $14.5 Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding 43,235,103 Core Earnings Per Share $0.34 1) Core Earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders, excluding “realized and unrealized gains and losses” (impairment losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on the aggregate portfolio and non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock). We believe the presentation of Core Earnings provides investors greater transparency into our period-over-period financial performance and facilitates comparisons to peer REITs. 2) The timing of the tax accretion may change depending on prepayments, future fundings, loan extensions, credit defaults, and other factors.


 
Overview: GAAP–to–Tax Difference • During our formation transaction, the contribution by Two Harbors of its commercial real estate lending business was treated as a sale for tax purposes – As a result, we recognized a lower tax basis than GAAP basis of approximately $22 million at the time of the transaction – This GAAP-to-tax difference will result in higher tax accretion versus GAAP accretion over the life of the commercial real estate investment portfolio we acquired from Two Harbors • In the third quarter, we recognized approximately $2.6 million of additional accretion in taxable income versus GAAP income • We estimate, that through the end of 2019, we will recognize approximately $15 million of additional taxable accretion resulting in our taxable income being higher than core earnings – The amount and timing of this recognition may change depending on factors such as additional fundings, prepayments, and any potential credit losses, among other things 26
