#### Book Value Erosion Analysis

The defining financial story of TWO from FY2021 to present is the substantial erosion of book value per share. This reflects multiple headwinds:

1. **FY2022 Rate Shock:** The Federal Reserve's most aggressive rate hiking cycle in 40 years caused massive Agency RMBS price declines. TWO's BVPS fell from ~$37 to ~$23 in 2022 — a loss of ~38%.

2. **Post-2022 Partial Recovery and Decline:** While Agency RMBS prices partially recovered, the ongoing inverted yield curve creates NII drag that erodes equity over time.

3. **FY2025 Litigation Charge:** ~$375M settlement charged in Q2 2025 destroyed ~$3/share in book value.

4. **Dividend Payments in Excess of EAD:** When dividends slightly exceed EAD, each quarter erodes equity marginally.
