MANAGEMENT REMARKS
"The investment environment was very challenging in the first quarter as the market faced elevated geopolitical risk, growing inflation concerns, and the expectation of significantly tighter monetary policy," said Peter Federico, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Against this backdrop, interest rates repriced materially higher, the yield curve flattened, and fixed income spreads widened. These conditions led to a risk-off sentiment that pressured equity markets and caused unprecedented price declines across fixed income markets as evidenced by the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index, the broadest fixed income market measure, posting its worst quarterly performance in more than 40 years.
"Major monetary policy transitions are always difficult for fixed income markets. This is especially true for the Agency MBS market given its unique role in monetary policy and the overall economy. Concerns associated with the Federal Reserve's balance sheet normalization drove Agency MBS spreads significantly wider during the quarter relative to swap and treasury hedges and were the primary driver of AGNC's -14.4% economic return for the quarter.
"Following the very significant repricing of Agency MBS over the last two quarters, we now believe that levered returns on many segments of the Agency MBS market are attractive on both an absolute and relative basis and adequately compensate investors for the risks associated with the current environment. While it is possible that Agency MBS could experience additional valuation declines due to the reduced Fed presence and seasonal new mortgage originations, such weakness would further enhance projected returns on new investments.
"As we have discussed in prior quarters, although the underperformance of Agency MBS has negatively impacted our tangible net book value in the short-run, it has significantly improved our investment outlook on our existing and new Agency MBS investments. We believe this improved outlook, combined with our portfolio positioning and attractive dividend, makes AGNC a compelling long-term investment opportunity."
"AGNC generated strong net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization, of $0.72 per common share in the first quarter of 2022," stated Bernice Bell, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Importantly, despite the decline in tangible book value, AGNC continued to maintain a relatively conservative tangible net book value 'at risk' leverage position of 7.5x and increased our hedge ratio to 121% of our funding liabilities. Together, these factors position AGNC to benefit from wider mortgage spreads that we believe ultimately create a more favorable environment for levered Agency MBS investors."
TANGIBLE NET BOOK VALUE PER COMMON SHARE
As of March 31, 2022, the Company's tangible net book value per common share was $13.12 per share, a decrease of -16.7% for the quarter compared to $15.75 per share as of December 31, 2021. The Company's tangible net book value per common share excludes $526 million, or approximately $1.01 per share, of goodwill as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
As of March 31, 2022, the Company's investment portfolio totaled $68.6 billion, comprised of:
As of March 31, 2022, 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate Agency MBS and TBA securities represented 91% and 3%, respectively, of the Company's investment portfolio, compared to 89% and 6%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The Company's TBA position is net of short TBA securities held as of the reporting date.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company's fixed-rate Agency MBS and TBA securities' weighted average coupon was 3.20%, compared to 2.84% as of December 31, 2021, comprised of the following weighted average coupons:
The Company accounts for TBA securities and other forward settling securities as derivative instruments and recognizes TBA dollar roll income in other gain (loss), net on the Company's financial statements. As of March 31, 2022, such positions had a fair value of $19.5 billion and a GAAP net carrying value of $(609) million reported in derivative assets/(liabilities) on the Company's balance sheet, compared to $27.6 billion and $(44) million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.
CONSTANT PREPAYMENT RATES

The weighted average cost basis of the Company's investment portfolio was 103.7% of par value as of March 31, 2022. The Company's investment portfolio generated a net premium amortization benefit of $78 million, or $0.15 per common share, for the first quarter, which includes a "catch-up" premium amortization benefit of $159 million, or $0.30 per common share, due to a decrease in the Company's CPR projections for certain securities acquired prior to the first quarter. This compares to net premium amortization cost for the prior quarter of $(138) million, or $(0.26) per common share, including "catch-up" premium amortization cost of $(44) million, or $(0.08) per common share.
ASSET YIELDS, COST OF FUNDS AND NET INTEREST RATE SPREAD

Including the TBA position and excluding "catch-up" premium amortization, the Company's average asset yield for the first quarter was 2.28%, compared to 2.13% for the prior quarter.
For the first quarter, the weighted average interest rate on the Company's repurchase agreements was 0.23%, compared to 0.12% for the prior quarter. For the first quarter, the Company's TBA position had an implied financing benefit of -0.49%, compared to a benefit of -0.46% for the prior quarter. Inclusive of interest rate swaps, the Company's combined weighted average cost of funds for the first quarter was a net cost of 0.09%, compared to a net benefit of -0.02% for the prior quarter.
The Company's annualized net interest spread, including the TBA position and interest rate swaps and excluding "catch-up" premium amortization, for the first quarter was 2.19%, compared to 2.15% for the prior quarter.
NET SPREAD AND DOLLAR ROLL INCOME
The Company recognized net spread and dollar roll income (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of $0.72 per common share, excluding $0.30 per common share of "catch-up" premium amortization benefit, compared to $0.75 per common share for the prior quarter, excluding (0.08) per common share of "catch-up" premium amortization cost.

Inclusive of its TBA position and net payable/(receivable) for unsettled investment securities, the Company's tangible net book value "at risk" leverage ratio was 7.5x as of March 31, 2022, compared to 7.7x as of December 31, 2021.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. 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 interest rates, changes in MBS spreads to benchmark interest rates, changes in the yield curve, changes in prepayment rates, the availability and terms of financing, changes in the market value of the Company's assets, general economic or market conditions, and conditions in the market for Agency securities, any of which may be materially impacted by changes in the Federal Reserve's bond buying program, approaches to address the size of its bond portfolio or its monetary policy, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Copies are available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company's results of operations discussed in this release include certain non-GAAP financial information, including "net spread and dollar roll income," "net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization," "economic interest income" and "economic interest expense" (both components of "net spread and dollar roll income"), "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."
"Net spread and dollar roll income" is measured as (i) net interest income (GAAP measure) adjusted to include TBA dollar roll income, interest rate swap periodic cost and other interest and dividend income (referred to as "adjusted net interest and dollar roll income") less (ii) total operating expense (GAAP measure). "Net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization," further excludes retrospective "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost due to changes in projected CPR estimates.
By providing users of the Company's financial information with such measures in addition to the related GAAP measures, the Company believes users will have greater transparency into the information used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. The Company also believes that it is important for users of its financial information to consider information related to the Company's current financial performance without the effects of certain transactions that are not necessarily indicative of its current investment portfolio performance and operations.
Specifically, in the case of "adjusted net interest and dollar roll income," the Company believes 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 the Company's statement of operations, are economically equivalent to holding and financing generic Agency MBS using short-term repurchase agreements. Similarly, the Company believes that the inclusion of periodic interest rate swap settlements in such measure, which are recognized under GAAP in other gain (loss), is meaningful as interest rate swaps are the primary instrument the Company uses to economically hedge against fluctuations in the Company's borrowing costs and inclusion of periodic interest rate swap settlements is more indicative of the Company's total cost of funds than interest expense alone. In the case of "net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization," the Company believes the exclusion of "catch-up" adjustments to premium amortization cost 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 "catch-up" cost or benefit is more indicative of the current earnings potential of the Company's investment portfolio. In the case of estimated taxable income (loss), the Company believes it is meaningful information as it is directly related to the amount of dividends the Company is required to distribute in order to maintain its REIT qualification status.
However, because such measures are incomplete measures of the Company's 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, the Company's 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 the Company's income tax returns, which occurs after the end of its fiscal year.
A reconciliation of GAAP net interest income to non-GAAP "net spread and dollar roll income, excluding 'catch-up' premium amortization" and a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP "estimated taxable income" is included in this release.
