Portfolio Highlights for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2025

The Company realized net servicing fee income of $8.1 million, net interest income of $3.2 million and other income of $0.4 million, primarily related to an unrealized gain on RMBS, and partially offset by realized and unrealized losses on derivatives and an unrealized loss on investments in Servicing Related Assets. The unpaid principal balance for the MSR portfolio stood at $15.9 billion as of December 31, 2025 and the carrying value of the MSR portfolio ended the quarter at $214.8 million. Net interest spread for the RMBS portfolio stood at 2.52% and the debt-to-equity ratio on the aggregate portfolio ended the quarter at 5.4x.

The RMBS portfolio had a book value and carrying value of approximately $1.2 billion at quarter-end December 31, 2025. The portfolio had a weighted average coupon of 4.98% and weighted average maturity of 27 years.

In order to mitigate duration risk and interest rate risk associated with the Company’s RMBS and MSRs, Cherry Hill used interest rate swaps, TBAs, Treasury futures and Eris SOFR swap futures. At quarter end December 31, 2025, the Company held interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $828.7 million, TBAs with a notional amount of ($409.5) million, Treasury futures with a notional amount of $19.5 million and Eris SOFR swap futures with a notional amount of ($16.8) million.

As of December 31, 2025, Cherry Hill’s GAAP book value was $3.44 per diluted share, net of the fourth quarter dividend.

Dividends

On December 12, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock for the fourth quarter of 2025. The dividend was paid in cash on January 30, 2026 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.5125 per share on the Company’s 8.20% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and a dividend of $0.6259 per share on the Company’s 8.250% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the fourth quarter 2025. The dividends were paid in cash on January 15, 2026 to Series A and B Preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2025.

Earnings Available for Distribution

Earnings available for distribution (“EAD”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as GAAP net income (loss), excluding realized gain (loss) on RMBS, unrealized gain (loss) on RMBS measured at fair value through earnings, realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives, realized gain (loss) on acquired assets, realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments in MSRs (net of any estimated MSR amortization) and any tax expense (benefit) on realized and unrealized gain (loss) on MSRs. MSR amortization refers to the portion of the change in fair value of the MSR that is primarily due to the realization of cashflows, runoff resulting from prepayments and an adjustment for any gain or loss on the capital used to purchase the MSR. EAD also includes interest rate swap periodic interest income (expense) and drop income on TBA dollar roll transactions, which are included in “Realized gain (loss) on derivatives, net” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). EAD is adjusted to exclude outstanding LTIP-OP Units in our Operating Partnership and dividends paid on our preferred stock.

EAD is provided for purposes of potential comparability to other issuers that invest in residential mortgage-related assets. We believe providing investors with EAD, in addition to related GAAP financial measures, may provide investors some insight into our ongoing operational performance. However, the concept of EAD does have significant limitations, including the exclusion of realized and unrealized gains (losses), and given the apparent lack of a consistent methodology among issuers for defining EAD, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other issuers, which define EAD differently from us and each other. As a result, EAD should not be considered a substitute for our GAAP net income (loss) or as a measure of our liquidity. While EAD is one indicia of the Company’s earnings capacity, it is not the only factor considered in setting a dividend and is not the same as REIT taxable income which is calculated in accordance with the rules of the IRS.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to EAD for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.
