Speaker #3: Thank you, Jenny. Good morning, everyone. I'm very pleased to report another strong quarter for Mitt. Highlighted by second quarter earnings and the announcement of our definitive agreement to acquire Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation.

T.J. Durkin: Thank you, Jenny. Good morning, everyone. I am very pleased to report another strong quarter for MIT, highlighted by Q2 earnings and the announcement of our definitive agreement to acquire Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation. We believe this transaction represents a transformational step forward for MIT. The combined scale will benefit from significantly enhanced scale, meaningful G&A synergies, and a highly complementary portfolio mix that remains firmly centered on our core focus, the residential mortgage ecosystem. As a reminder, MIT has a proven track record of executing and creating value through strategic acquisitions, including the WMC transaction that closed in December 2023. Since that acquisition, MIT has dramatically outperformed its peers, increasing our dividend five times for a cumulative growth of 33%, while delivering approximately 140% growth in our quarterly EAD.

T.J. Durkin: Thank you, Jenny. Good morning, everyone. I am very pleased to report another strong quarter for MIIT, highlighted by Q2 earnings and the announcement of our definitive agreement to acquire Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation. We believe this transaction represents a transformational step forward for MIIT. The combined scale will benefit from significantly enhanced scale, meaningful G&A synergies, and a highly complementary portfolio mix that remains firmly centered on our core focus, the residential mortgage ecosystem.

Speaker #3: With the addition of Cherry Hill, the combined company's market capitalization will increase by approximately 36%, materially improving stock liquidity and trading volumes, while creating an equity capital base of approximately $750 million.

T.J. Durkin: With the addition of Cherry Hill, the combined company's market capitalization will increase by approximately 36%, materially improving stock liquidity and trading volumes while creating an equity capital base of approximately $750 million. This greater scale will position us to compete more effectively, operate more efficiently, and create stronger long-term earnings power for our shareholders. We are also pleased that MIT's manager, TPG, is making a direct cash contribution of approximately $20 million alongside approximately $15 million from MIT's balance sheet, creating an attractive cash to stock consideration mix of approximately 30%. We believe this differentiates the transaction from a traditional REIT acquisition and meaningfully enhances the value proposition for both Cherry Hill and MIT shareholders. Cherry Hill shareholders will also gain access to the full breadth of TPG's platform, capabilities, relationships, and operating expertise.

Speaker #3: In addition, we believe the combination will generate substantial G&A efficiencies, with expected annual cost synergies in the range of approximately $7 million to $9 million, further supporting earnings growth and returns over time.

T.J. Durkin: In addition, we believe the combination will generate substantial G&A efficiencies with expected annual cost synergies in the range of approximately $7 to 9 million, further supporting earnings growth and returns over time. We expect to close the strategic acquisition in Q4. Turning back to Q2, the market navigated a challenging interest rate environment driven by renewed inflation concerns and continued uncertainty around Federal Reserve policy. Despite this backdrop, MIT delivered another quarter of stable performance and disciplined execution. Book value increased from $9.97 to $10.00 per share during the quarter as we maintained a disciplined leverage profile and continued rotating capital into higher returning residential credit strategies. At the same time, Arc Home continued to scale meaningfully with funding volumes reaching multi-year highs.

Speaker #3: We expect to close this strategic acquisition in the fourth quarter. Turning back to the second quarter, the market navigated a challenging interest rate environment driven by renewed inflation concerns and continued uncertainty around Federal Reserve policy.

Speaker #3: Despite this backdrop, Mitt delivered another quarter of stable performance and disciplined execution. Book value increased from $9.97 to $10 even per share during the quarter as we maintained a disciplined leverage profile and continued rotating capital into higher-returning residential credit strategies.

Durkin: Book value increased from $9.97 to $10.00 per share during the quarter as we maintained a disciplined leverage profile and continued rotating capital into higher returning residential credit strategies.

Speaker #3: At the same time, ARC Home continued to scale meaningfully with funding volumes reaching multi-year highs. These initiatives helped generate EAD of $24 per share for the quarter, fully covering our recently declared dividend of $24.

T.J. Durkin: These initiatives helped generate EAD of $0.24 per share for the quarter, fully covering our recently declared dividend of $0.24. Notably, our company has continued to demonstrate earnings growth over the past year, despite the ongoing headwind of having a legacy commercial loan exposure on non-accrual status, which leaves room for significant upside as we continue to wind down this exposure. On the topic of our legacy commercial loans, as we discussed last quarter, the sale process for our retail exposure is progressing well. A buyer has been selected, and we currently expect the transaction to close by year-end. Within the hospitality portfolio, we remain on track to resolve two of four remaining exposures by the end of Q3. More importantly, we expect all three of these resolutions to occur in line with our current carrying values. These resolutions are important catalysts for MIT.

Speaker #3: More importantly, we expect all three of these resolutions to occur in line with our current carrying values. These resolutions are important catalysts for Mitt.

Speaker #3: As capital from these legacy positions is redeployed into our core residential strategies, we expect it to contribute approximately $0.05 of incremental EAD in the short term looking ahead, the remaining two hospitality assets are actively being repositioned under new management, and we expect to begin remarketing those assets next year.

T.J. Durkin: As capital from these legacy positions is redeployed into our core residential strategies, we expect it to contribute approximately $0.05 of incremental EAD in the short term. Looking ahead, the remaining two hospitality assets are actively being repositioned under new management, and we expect to begin remarketing those assets next year. The eventual recycling of that capital is expected to provide an additional annual EAD benefit in excess of $0.15 per share. Combined, that's $0.20 in aggregate incremental EAD per annum. All in all, we believe MIT is entering a new phase for growth. We have consistently executed on the objectives we laid out over the last several years, strengthening the platform, improving earnings power, and positioning the company for higher and more durable returns.

Speaker #3: As we look toward closing out 2026, we believe we have a clear line of sight to stronger ROEs, higher EAD, and continued dividend growth.

T.J. Durkin: As we look towards closing out 2026, we believe we have a clear line of sight to stronger ROEs, higher EAD, and continued dividend growth. We have already raised the dividend in four of the last seven quarters, reflecting the momentum we are building and the confidence we have in the trajectory of the business. We remain excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to continuing to share our progress in the quarters to come. With that, I'll turn the call over to Nick.

Speaker #2: Thanks, TJ. And thank you, everyone, for joining us today. The company remained active, rotating excess capital into home equity and non-agency credit where we continue to see attractive risk-adjusted returns and strong demand across the capital stack.

Nicholas Smith: Thanks, T.J., and thank you everyone for joining us today. The company remained active, rotating excess capital into home equity and non-agency credit, where we continue to see attractive risk-adjusted returns and strong demand across the capital stack. MITT is well positioned to continue to benefit from the growth of the non-agency residential mortgage market. As stated previously, home equity remains core to our strategy, and we believe this segment will provide the company with compelling opportunities as this residential housing segment's growth accelerates. It is worth noting that while year-over-year non-agency issuance has increased nearly 50%, the home equity segment has seen annualized growth of almost 150%. We expect our early mover advantage and continued market leadership to pay dividends well into the future as our partnerships deepen with the growth of the overall market.

Speaker #2: This quarter, the company successfully issued two securitizations with an aggregate balance of over $750 million. In the third quarter, we expect to issue over $1.25 billion across three home equity securitizations, building on partnerships with leading home equity originators.

Nicholas Smith: This quarter, the company successfully issued two securitizations with an aggregate balance over $750 million. In Q3, we expect to issue over $1.25 billion across three home equity securitizations, building on partnerships with leading home equity originators. We expect to be able to continue this growth while maintaining a disciplined leverage profile, as demonstrated by the modest increase in leverage quarter-over-quarter of just 0.1 turns. Bringing the company's economic leverage to just 1.8 turns. Importantly, at these current levels, we have plenty of dry powder to continue to grow our asset base by using a combination of liquidity on hand or untapped financing, which we expect to be an important driver of additional earnings power. On page six, we highlight the Q2's performance. This quarter, there were modest net mark-to-market gains on investment and hedge portfolio, despite the bear flattener and meaningfully higher nominal yields.

Speaker #2: Despite a challenging origination backdrop, ARC Home was able to distribute $6.6 million in excess capital to MITT during the quarter while growing origination volumes and making early progress on newly launched home equity offerings.

Nicholas Smith: Despite a challenging origination backdrop at Arc Home was able to distribute $6.6 million in excess capital to MITT during the quarter while growing origination volumes and making early progress on newly launched home equity offerings. This, combined with the previously mentioned capital rotation, drove the company's earnings power. Following TJ's remarks regarding the status of resolving the legacy commercial portfolio, we look forward to quickly rotating that capital into attractive opportunities within our core strategy to drive meaningfully accretion to EAD. To reiterate TJ's remarks, we see approximately $0.20 annual EAD pickup in aggregate with this improvement beginning in Q3 and accelerating through 2027. Before handing off the call to Anthony, I'd like to comment briefly on MITT's strategic acquisition of Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation. As TJ noted, this is a highly complementary portfolio.

Speaker #2: Cherry Hill's mortgage servicing rights will provide Mitt with a new revenue stream that delivers additional diversification to the existing portfolio. We are confident that this is another segment of the broader residential mortgage ecosystem that Mitt is well suited to leverage in the future to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns and, importantly, will contribute to earnings immediately.

Speaker #4: Thank you, Nick, and good morning, everyone. During the second quarter, we continued rotating capital into home equity loans and non-agency securitizations, successfully executing two co-sponsored deals.

Anthony Rossiello: Thank you, Nick. Good morning, everyone. During Q2, we continued rotating capital into home equity loans and non-agency securitizations, successfully executing two co-sponsored deals. We also gained significant momentum towards resolving certain of our legacy WMC commercial loans and delivered continued strength in earnings available for distribution or EAD. During the quarter, book value increased 0.3% to $10 per share, generating 2.7% economic return inclusive of our $0.24 dividend. GAAP net income was approximately $9.1 million, or $0.29 per share. Net income during the quarter was driven by durable EAD across our investment portfolio and Arc Home, hedge-adjusted gains on residential investments, and unrealized gains on legacy WMC commercial loans, supported by $3.5 million of payments received, which reduced our cost basis and were used to continue de-levering these investments. Our investment portfolio continued to generate high teen ROEs while expenses remained controlled.

Arc Home contributed an additional $0.04 per share to EAD, consistent with last quarter and driven by origination volume growth. Our investment portfolio stood at $7.7 billion, primarily allocated across high-quality agency eligible, non-QM, and home equity loans. While headline assets declined from $8.1 billion in Q1 due to securitized loan paydowns, our Q2 securitizations deployed capital into unconsolidated non-agency RMBS rather than consolidated loans. During the quarter, we purchased an additional $70 million of HELOCs ahead of a planned Q3 securitization and acquired $38 million of non-agency RMBS through executing two partnership deals without incurring warehouse financing risk.

Speaker #4: During the quarter, we purchased an additional $70 million of HELOCs ahead of a planned Q3 securitization and acquired $38 million of non-agency RMBS through executing two partnership deals, without incurring warehouse financing risk.

Speaker #4: Looking ahead, resolving non-accrual commercial loans unlocks roughly $30 million of capital for reinvestment into higher-yielding residential investments further enhancing shareholder returns in 2027. Rounding out a strong quarter, we're excited to execute on our strategic acquisition of Cherry Hill.

Anthony Rossiello: Looking ahead, resolving non-accrual commercial loans unlocks roughly $30 million of capital for reinvestment into higher yielding residential investments, further enhancing shareholder returns in 2027. Rounding out a strong quarter, we're excited to execute on our strategic acquisition of Cherry Hill, delivering immediate and long-term benefits to shareholders of both companies. The transaction is expected to drive EAD accretion in 2027 by acquiring a portfolio generating attractive equity returns while realizing significant operating synergies upon combining the platforms. Cherry Hill's agency RMBS and low WAC MSR portfolios bring durable, predictable cash flows that complement our residential loan strategy, strengthen our net interest margin, and provide strong support for our dividend.

Speaker #4: Importantly, this transaction achieves scale through permanent capital without adding unsecuritized debt supported by a significant contribution from TPG and an amended manager incentive fee structure that aligns interest with shareholders and TPG's commitment to growth in Mitt's pure play, residential strategy.

Anthony Rossiello: Importantly, this transaction achieves scale through permanent capital without adding unsecuritized debt, supported by a significant contribution from TPG and an amended manager incentive fee structure that aligns interest with shareholders and TPG's commitment to growth in MIT's pure play residential strategy. Upon combination, pro forma economic leverage will settle at approximately 2.9 turns, de-risking Cherry Hill's historical profile while maintaining our conservative balance sheet relative to peers. As we ended the quarter with $112 million of liquidity, funding MIT's $15 million of cash consideration leaves us with ample post-close flexibility to capitalize on a larger, more liquid platform. I'll now turn the call back to TJ for closing remarks.

Speaker #6: Hey, guys. Good morning. Actually, first on the acquisition, is the plan to maintain that portfolio of both the MSR and the agencies as is, or any thoughts on how that might look as a combined company?

Speaker #1: Good morning, Bose. This is Nick. Thanks for the question. So the somewhat all of our strategies will optimize over time. There is an expectation that there are portions of the portfolio that will be retained and others that will be rotated not to similar to sort of our current strategies.

Nicholas Smith: Good morning, Bose. This is Nick. Thanks for the question. Some or all of our strategies will optimize over time. There is an expectation that there are portions of the portfolio that will be retained and others that will be rotated, not dissimilar to our current strategies.

Speaker #6: So okay. Great. And then actually, in terms of the mix of the different assets, leaving aside the acquisition, what how do you see that evolving?

Bose George: Okay, great. Actually, in terms of the mix of the different assets, leaving aside the acquisition, how do you see that evolving? Do you see home equity as being a potentially much larger piece? Just how do those pieces potentially look a year out from now?

Bose George: Okay, great. Actually, in terms of the mix of the different assets, leaving aside the acquisition, how do you see that evolving? Do you see home equity as being a potentially much larger piece? Just how do those pieces potentially look a year out from now?

Speaker #6: Do you see home equity as being a potentially much larger piece or just, yeah, just how do those little those pieces potentially look a year out from now?

Speaker #1: Yeah. The expectation is from the prepared remarks that home equity will continue to accelerate. We just currently see one of competitive advantage and more relative value there.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Look, I mean, generally, the market has gotten more competitive. In non-agencies, broadly, this segment itself is not isolated from that, but we do believe it is generally more insulated than other segments for various reasons.

Nicholas Smith: Yeah. Look, I mean, generally, the market has gotten more competitive in non-agencies broadly. This segment itself is not isolated from that, we do believe it is generally more isolated than other segments for various reasons.
