ARMOUR RESIDENTIAL REIT, INC.

Monthly Update			SEPTEMBER 2024

ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (“ARMOUR”; NYSE ticker ARR) brings private capital into the mortgage markets to support home ownership for a broad and diverse spectrum of Americans. We seek to create shareholder value through thoughtful investment and risk management of a leveraged and diversified portfolio of mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S Government-sponsored entities. We rely on the decades of experience of our management team for (i) MBS securities portfolio analysis and selection, (ii) access to equity capital and repurchase financing on potentially attractive rates and terms, and (iii) hedging and liquidity strategies to moderate interest rate and MBS price risk. We prioritize maintaining common share dividends appropriate for the intermediate term rather than focusing on short-term market fluctuations.

ARMOUR is externally managed by ARMOUR Capital Management LP, who is also the majority owner of BUCKLER Securities LLC, a FINRA registered broker-dealer that is the largest provider of ARMOUR’s repurchase financing.

Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements regarding the projections and future plans for ARMOUR’s business, growth and operational improvements.

The statements, information and estimates contained herein are based on information that the Company believes to be reliable as of today's date unless otherwise indicated. ARMOUR cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Pricing and duration information are estimates provided by independent third-party providers based on models that require inputs and assumptions. Actual realized prices and durations will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty and may be materially different from estimates.
