ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc.
Monthly Update March 2026
ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (“ARMOUR”; NYSE: ARR) brings private capital into the mortgage markets to support home
ownership for a broad and diverse spectrum of homeowners. 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 at 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, an SEC registered investment advisor, which is under
common control with BUCKLER Securities LLC, an SEC registered broker-dealer and a member of FICC and FINRA. BUCKLER
Securities, LLC, is the largest provider of repurchase financing to ARMOUR.

guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
