Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements or from our historic performance due to a variety of important factors, including, without limitation, changes in monetary policy and other factors that affect interest rates, MBS spreads to benchmark interest rates, the forward yield curve, or prepayment rates; the availability and terms of financing; changes in the market value of the Company's assets; general economic or geopolitical conditions; liquidity and other conditions in the market for Agency securities and other financial markets; and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company.

Net spread and dollar roll income per common share is a non-GAAP measure. It is measured as estimated (i) total comprehensive income of approximately $0.12 per common share adjusted to (a) exclude estimated net unrealized gains on investment securities measured at fair value through net income and other comprehensive income totaling $1.39 per common share, (b) exclude estimated net realized losses on sale of investment securities of $0.27 per common share, (c) exclude estimated net losses on derivative instruments and other investments of $1.11 per common share, (d) exclude estimated "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost due to an increase in the Company's projected CPR estimates for securities acquired prior to the first quarter 2025 of approximately less than $0.01 per common share, (e) include estimated TBA dollar roll income of $0.02 per common share, (f) include estimated interest rate swap net periodic income of $0.32 per common share and include estimated other net interest expense of $0.01 per common share. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides greater transparency into the information used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making and that it provides additional context for users of its financial information to consider when evaluating the Company's current performance and operations. However, this measure is an incomplete measure of its estimated financial results as computed in accordance with GAAP and should be considered as supplementary to and not as a substitute for results computed in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies use identical calculations, and the Company's presentation of non-GAAP measure estimates may not be comparable to other similarly-named measures of other companies. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on this non-GAAP measure. A more complete presentation and reconciliation of non-GAAP measures and related information will be provided in the Company's announcement of its financial results and its periodic report to be filed with the SEC for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. For additional information pertaining to the Company's use of non-GAAP measures, please refer to its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. "At risk" leverage is calculated as the sum of repurchase agreements used to fund the Company's investment portfolio ("Investment Securities Repo"), net TBA position (at cost), other debt, and net receivable/payable for unsettled investment securities divided by total stockholders' equity, adjusted to exclude goodwill. Leverage excludes U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements. The Company's funding liabilities include Investment Securities Repo, net TBA position, and other debt. Duration is a model estimate of interest rate sensitivity measured in years as of a point in time. Duration gap is a measure of the difference between the interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities. CONTACT:Investor Relations - (301) 968-9300 SOURCE AGNC Investment Corp.
