17 Reconciliation of GAAP net income to non - GAAP distributable earnings “Distributable earnings” is a non - GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10 (e) of Regulation S - K, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission .. Distributable earnings is determined by adjusting GAAP net income/(loss) by removing certain unrealized gains and losses, primarily on residential mortgage investments, associated debt, and hedges that are, in each case, accounted for at fair value through earnings, certain realized gains and losses, as well as certain non - cash expenses and securitization - related transaction costs .. Management believes that the adjustments made to GAAP earnings result in the removal of ( i ) income or expenses that are not reflective of the longer term performance of our investment portfolio, (ii) certain non - cash expenses, and (iii) expense items required to be recognized solely due to the election of the fair value option on certain related residential mortgage assets and associated liabilities .. Distributable earnings is one of the factors that our Board of Directors considers when evaluating distributions to our shareholders .. Accordingly, we believe that the adjustments to compute Distributable earnings specified below provide investors and analysts with additional information to evaluate our financial results .. The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP net (loss)/income used in the calculation of basic EPS to our non - GAAP Distributable earnings for the quarterly periods presented .. ( $ i n m illions, e xcept p er s hare a mounts) Q 3 2022 Q2 2022 Q1 2022 Q4 2021 Q3 2021 GAAP Net (loss)/income used in the calculation of basic EPS $ ( 63.4 ) $ (108.8) $ (91.3) $ 35.7 $ 123.9 Adjustments: Unrealized gains and losses on: Residential whole loans held at fair value 291.8 218.2 287.9 42.6 (20.5) Securities held at fair value ( 1.5 ) 1.5 2.9 0.4 (0.5) Interest rate swaps ( 108 .. 9 ) (31.8) (80.8) (0.1) — Securitized debt held at fair value ( 100 .. 8 ) (84.3) (62.9) (6.1) (0.9) Investments in loan origination partners 2.0 39.2 0.8 (24.0) (48.9) Expense items: Amortization of intangible assets 1.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 Equity based compensation 2.7 3.5 2.6 2.3 2.3 Securitization - related transaction costs 5.0 6.4 3.2 5.2 — Total adjustments $ 91.6 $ 155.9 $ 157.2 $ 23.5 $ (65.2) Distributable earnings $ 28.2 $ 47.2 $ 66.0 $ 59.3 $ 58.7 GAAP (loss)/earnings per basic common share $ ( 0 .. 62 ) $ (1.06) $ (0.86) $ 0.33 $ 1.12 Distributable earnings per basic common share $ 0.28 $ 0.46 $ 0.62 $ 0.54 $ 0.53 Weighted average common shares for basic earnings per share 10 1 .. 8 102.5 106.6 109.5 110.2

18 Reconciliation of GAAP book value to Economic book value “Economic book value” is a non - GAAP financial measure of our financial position .. To calculate our Economic book value, our portfolios of Residential whole loans and securitized debt( 1 ) held at carrying value are adjusted to their fair value, rather than the carrying value that is required to be reported under the GAAP accounting model applied to these financial instruments .. These adjustments are also reflected in the table below in our end of period stockholders’ equity .. Management considers that Economic book value provides investors with a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our financial position as it reflects the impact of fair value changes for all of our investment activities, irrespective of the accounting model applied for GAAP reporting purposes .. Economic book value does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for Stockholders’ Equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies .. The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP book value per common share to our non - GAAP Economic book value per common share as of the end of each quarter since Q 3 2021 ..
