Hedged MSR Strategy Drives High-Quality Returns in Dynamic Market
TWO ((Two Harbors Investment Corp., NYSE:TWO), an MSR-focused real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Quarterly Summary
- Reported book value of $14.47 per common share, and declared a fourth quarter common stock dividend of $0.45 per share, representing a flat quarterly economic return on book value.(1)
- Incurred Comprehensive Loss of $(1.6) million, or $(0.03) per weighted average basic common share.
- Settled $2.5 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSR through bulk and flow-sale acquisitions and recapture.
- MSR portfolio had 3-month CPR of 4.93%, weighted average gross coupon rate of 3.46%, and 60+ day delinquency rate of 0.90%.
- Funded $42.0 million UPB in first lien loans and brokered $32.8 million UPB in second lien loans.
Annual Summary
- Declared dividends of $1.80 per common share.
- Generated 2024 total economic return on book value of 7.0%.(1)
- Settled $9.2 billion in UPB of MSR, or 28,093 loans, through bulk and flow-sale acquisitions and recapture.
- Launched direct-to-consumer recapture originations platform, funding $64.3 million UPB in first lien loans and brokering $40.2 million UPB in second lien loans.
- Actively managed capital structure through repurchase of 485,609 shares(2) of preferred stock and $10.0 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026.
"Our 2024 results highlight the benefits of our hedged MSR strategy," said Bill Greenberg, TWO's President and CEO. "With two-thirds of our capital allocated to low coupon MSR, our portfolio generated stable and positive cashflows, despite large fluctuations in short-term interest rates. Additionally, our ongoing enhancements at RoundPoint uniquely position us to shape our return profile beyond just owning traditional Agency securities."
"Mortgage spread volatility has significantly decreased, enhancing our portfolio's return outlook," stated Nick Letica, TWO's Chief Investment Officer. "Mortgage rates are well above 6%, and prepayment rates are expected to remain slow in 2025, providing a strong positive tailwind for MSR. Combined with historically wide nominal current coupon spreads, we believe that our unique hedged MSR-centric strategy will continue to generate attractive levered returns in 2025 and beyond."

_____________
(1) |
MSR amortization refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio, which is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company's decision to account for MSR at fair value. |
|
(2) |
TBA dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. |
|
(3) |
U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements. |
|
(4) |
Certain operating expenses predominantly consists of expenses incurred in connection with the company's ongoing litigation with PRCM Advisers LLC. |
|
(5) |
EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate investment portfolio, gains and losses on repurchases of preferred stock, provision for (reversal of) credit losses, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock and certain operating expenses. As defined, EAD includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, U.S. Treasury futures income, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR and certain cash related operating expenses. EAD provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the company's results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers. EAD is one of several measures our board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on our common stock and should not be considered an indication of our taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends we may declare. |
