Non-GAAP metrics
Distributable Earnings is a non‑GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders as calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding (1) unrealized gains and losses on our aggregate portfolio, and realized gains (losses) on derivatives, (2) impairment losses, (3) extinguishment of debt, (4) non-cash equity compensation expense, (5) the incentive fee earned by our Manager, (6) realized gains or losses on swap terminations and (7) certain other nonrecurring gains or losses. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance between our REIT peers but has important limitations. We believe Distributable Earnings as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

Additionally, we believe Distributable Earnings Return on Average Equity provides investors with additional detail on the Distributable Earnings generated by our invested equity capital.

AOMR Investment Strategy 7Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. ACQUIRE PREDOMINANTLY NON-QM LOANS SECURITIZE LOANS RETAIN PORTIONS OF SECURITIZATION REINVEST • Typically retain the bottom 4-10% of market value of the securitization • Retention of subordinated and interest- only tranches can drive higher returns without additional financial leverage • Securitization enables us to: ‒ Secure a fixed cost of funding ‒ Reduce cost of funding in many markets ‒ Replace largely mark-to-market financial leverage with term structural leverage • Our relationship with Angel Oak Companies enables us to purchase high- quality loans tailored to our desired profile • Non-QM loans offer an attractive risk- adjusted return in a growing market segment • Utilize structural term leverage from securitizations, portfolio returns, and loan financing facilities to purchase high quality non-QM loans • Utilize the breadth and depth of Angel Oak to act upon key market opportunities and risks Our acquisition, securitization, and reinvestment processes enable us to consistently deliver on our business model


 
Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. PERMANENT FINANCING VIA SECURITIZATION MARKET AOMT securitization shelf RMBS FINANCING Certain retained securities financed via repurchase agreements Funding Strategy LOAN AGGREGATION Loans pending securitization financed via loan financing facilities 8 1Based on the average of the 12 deals completed during the 24 months beginning January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2020. • Newly acquired loans are held on loan financing lines with global money center, community banks, and regional banks • Bank interest in financing non-QM loans has increased in recent years, allowing us to develop a broad set of relationships and diversify our funding base • Utilize the securitization market to secure term financing on a regular, programmatic basis • AOMT has completed a securitization every two months since 20181 – creates consistent liquidity for our loans • Facilitates creation of target RMBS assets to be retained by AOMR • Borrowings against retained RMBS facilitated through repurchase agreements with Wall Street banks − Typically floating rate agreements The AOMR funding strategy is supported by established loan financing lines, a consistent securitization shelf, and repurchase agreements for retained securities


 
Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. Illustrative Securitization Structure 9 Senior Bonds (AAA, AA, A rating) Interest Only Mezzanine Bonds (BBB, BB, B rating) ~85 - 90% of the deal Junior Equity (unrated) ~0 - 10% of the deal ~5 - 10% of the deal KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Senior and mezzanine bonds receive a fixed coupon • Junior bonds receive the net WAC of collateral • Interest-only tranches receive remaining excess spread between the collateral pool and the coupon on the senior, mezzanine, and junior bonds ‒ This excess spread is sensitive to prepayments • Bonds can typically be called after two to three years • Angel Oak intends to retain bonds where it finds the best relative value, which may include Subordinated Bonds and Junior Equity (credit sensitive) and IO bonds (prepayment sensitive) • Retaining these bonds creates a natural hedge in the portfolio as the B2 and B3 bonds tend to perform well in a faster prepayment environment, whereas the XS and AIOS interest only bonds tend to experience reduced cash flows

Appendix: GAAP Reconciliation of FY21 Distributable Earnings 24 Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders as calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding (1) unrealized gains and losses on our aggregate portfolio, and realized gains (losses) on derivatives, (2) impairment losses, (3) extinguishment of debt, (4) non-cash equity compensation expense, (5) the incentive fee earned by our Manager, (6) realized gains or losses on swap terminations and (7) certain other nonrecurring gains or losses. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Earnings provides investors with a useful measure to facilitate comparisons of financial performance between our REIT peers but has important limitations. We believe Distributable Earnings as described above helps evaluate our financial performance without the impact of certain transactions but is of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, Distributable Earnings should not be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.
