3 2Q17 Highlights • Dividend of $0.18 per common share for the quarter • Comprehensive income of $0.05 per common share and GAAP net loss of $(0.20) per common share • Core net operating income(1) of $0.19 per common share for the quarter ◦ CMBS prepayment income more than offset ARM premium amortization ◦ Drop income on TBA securities of $0.03 per common share • Economic return on book value(2) of 0.5% for the quarter and 7.8% year-to- date • Book value per common share of $7.38 at June 30, 2017 compared to $7.52 at March 31, 2017 and $7.18 at December 31, 2016 (1) Reconciliations for non-GAAP measures are presented in the Appendix. (2) For second quarter, equals sum of dividend of $0.18 per common share plus the decrease in book value of $0.14 divided by beginning book value per share for the quarter of $7.52. For year-to-date, equals sum of dividend of $0.36 per common share plus the increase in book value of $0.20 divided by beginning book value per share for the quarter of $7.18.


 
4 2Q17 Highlights • Expanded allocation to fixed-rate Agency securities by investing in 30-year fixed-rate Agency RMBS TBA securities with a cost basis of $416.3 million at June 30, 2017 ◦ Combined with Agency CMBS (Fannie Mae DUS), the Company had $1.7 billion in fixed-rate securities at June 30, 2017 ◦ Increased adjusted leverage(1) to 6.0x at June 30, 2017 versus 5.8x at March 31, 2017 ◦ Expect to continue increasing leverage and investing capital opportunistically for the balance of 2017 • Reallocated capital away from short-duration lower yielding investments given the flatter US Treasury curve and the prospect for faster prepayments. Sold $271.4 million in short and current reset hybrid ARMs and had $63.7 million in paydowns ◦ Hybrid ARM balance has declined over $462 million, or almost 40%, since December 31, 2016 • Increased interest rate swaps by a net $990 million to substantially mitigate the risk to higher funding costs and short-term interest rates for the remainder of 2017, and adjusted the hedge position for the addition of 30-year TBA securities (1) Includes TBA positions at cost (as if settled) of $416.3 million as a liability representing the off-balance sheet financing risk related to TBA securities.

Today we are emphasizing higher liquidity and higher credit quality. 97% of Dynex portfolio today Dynex sources today Dynex sources today *specified pool or TBA


 
7 Investment Strategy Diversified investment approach that performs in a variety of market environments • Dynamic and disciplined capital allocation model enables capturing long-term value • Invest in a high quality, liquid asset portfolio of primarily Agency investments, as of June 30, 2017 ◦ 87% Agency guaranteed ◦ 97% AAA rated • Diversification is a key benefit ◦ Balance between commercial and residential sectors provides diversified cash flow and prepayment profile ◦ Agency CMBS protect the portfolio from extension risk. High quality CMBS IO add yield and are intended to limit credit exposure and prepayment volatility vs. lower rated tranches. ◦ Agency fixed rate RMBS will allow us to grow our balance sheet opportunistically. • Flexible portfolio duration position to reflect changing market conditions


 
8 • This asset class offers the opportunity to earn an above average return over the long term versus other sectors today. This is unique for Dynex as over the last ten years we have always had more attractive alternatives in other sectors. • The Federal Reserve balance sheet reduction has been well telegraphed and appears priced into the market today. Additional spread widening would present an opportunity to reallocate out of other sectors into Agency residential RMBS. We believe additional spread widening would be limited by demand for these high quality assets from crossover buyers. • The macroeconomic environment continues to be supportive for spread products. Two major central banks (BoJ and ECB) continue to inject liquidity through large scale asset purchases supporting valuations across sectors. This is a key risk factor and we continue to be vigilant on this issue. • Housing continues to be a major issue in the U.S. Housing finance reform debate is dominated by the need for private capital as the GSEs' footprint shrinks in this market. Potential change in government policy could present a major business opportunity for Dynex shareholders.   • The risk adjusted return and the liquidity of 30-year fixed-rate RMBS more than compensate for the relatively higher duration drift vs. less liquid ARMs. The incremental liquidity also gives us the ability to shrink or grow the balance sheet rapidly. Fixed Rate 30-Year Strategy


 
9 Macroeconomic Themes Our core macroeconomic views center around the following themes: • Global economic fundamentals have improved - but still fragile • U.S. fundamentals - inflation declining; GDP increasing; employment improving • Government policy - monetary, regulatory, fiscal - will continue to drive returns and is more uncertain today than at any point in the last decade ◦ Composition and culture of the Federal Reserve could change over the next 2 years ◦ Economic environment increases potential tightening/easing cycle by the Fed similar to 1994-1995 ◦ Fed intends to reduce MBS/Treasury portfolio • High asset prices reflect global demand for yield and significant QE liquidity injections from central banks • Global debt and US debt are at all time high levels, creating a fragile global economy vulnerable to exogenous events • Globalization has created an irreversible connectedness between our economy and the rest of the world


 
10 Long-Term Positive Trends Our business model is supported by positive long-term trends: • U.S. demographic trends are driving a significant increase in household formation and therefore more demand in multifamily and single-family housing • Global demographic aging trends are driving a demand for income/yield investments • As government participation wanes there is a large need for private capital and expertise in the housing finance system • The outlook for the regulatory environment is improving and could provide both investment and financing opportunities


 
11 Risk and Investment Posture • Interest Rate Risk: We have structured the portfolio to be more interest rate neutral and we have now included hedges incorporating the risk profile of 30-year fixed rate RMBS. There are many global factors that will ultimately determine the level of interest rates. We expect to dynamically and opportunistically manage our profile including the addition of other instruments such as options and swaptions. • Spread Risk: Spreads on all major fixed income asset classes are close to their tightest levels since 2014. Volatility in high quality asset spreads has been muted by central bank quantitative easing activities. The return offered by Agency 30-year fixed rate RMBS is greater than that offered by riskier assets. While the Fed's reinvestment policy could impact pricing in this sector, we have increased our allocation to this investment as we believe long term returns are compelling and accretive. Asset spreads could be vulnerable to widening due to changes in central bank involvement in these markets, which would present an opportunity to add assets. • Credit Risk: We remain invested in the highest quality assets, which includes Agency and AAA rated securities. Credit spreads on lower rated tranches have tightened substantially and are vulnerable to economic weakness and sector related default risk. This risk is further exacerbated when these positions are funded with short term repo – a risk we do not believe offers long term value at these levels. • Liquidity and Leverage Risk: We are focused on high quality earning assets that are highly liquid, which gives us the flexibility to reallocate capital. We will also dynamically manage leverage and liquidity to opportunistically increase the size of our portfolio, which we expect to ultimately drive earnings.


 
12 Strategic Focus • Maintain investments in higher credit quality, more liquid assets with some portion providing extension and prepayment protection • Capitalize on opportunities for investing capital from shifts in government and regulatory policy • Positioned to reallocate/invest capital as market volatility creates attractive risk adjusted return opportunities • Continue to seek ways to diversify funding sources as the regulatory environment becomes more favorable • Continue commitment to disciplined risk management and capital allocation decisions that maximize flexibility given the current environment


 
13 Summary • Year to date we have paid $0.36 in dividends per common share and reported core net income of $0.34 per common share. • We continue to believe the diversified investment strategy will generate superior risk adjusted returns given the complementary cash flow and risk profiles of the commercial and residential sectors. • There is a unique opportunity to generate returns in 30-year fixed rate RMBS. We are allocating capital out of ARMs and have doubled our position in the 30-year sector since June 30, 2017. We expect to continue to opportunistically invest in this sector, which will help drive earnings for the remainder of the year. • The risk adjusted returns and the liquidity of 30-year fixed rate RMBS more than compensates for the relatively higher duration drift versus less liquid ARMs. The incremental liquidity also gives us the ability to shrink or grow the balance sheet rapidly. • Global macro environment is still complex and asset prices are high and the potential for spread widening is elevated. • We have an experienced management team, an internally managed structure that creates shareholder alignment, and a long-term history of disciplined capital allocation.

30 MREIT Glossary of Terms Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) are a type of mortgage-backed security that is secured by the loan on a commercial property. Credit Risk is the risk of loss of principal stemming from a borrower’s failure to repay a loan. Curve Twist Terms: Bull Flattener: If the yield curve is exhibiting bull flattener behavior, the spread between the long-term rate and the short-term rate is getting smaller because long-term rates are decreasing as short-term rates are increasing. This could occur as more investors choose long-term bonds relative to short-term bonds, which drives long-term bond prices up and reduces yields. Bear Flattener: A yield-rate environment in which short-term interest rates are increasing at a faster rate than long-term interest rates. This causes the yield curve to flatten as short-term and long-term rates start to converge. Bear Steepener: Widening of the yield curve caused by long-term rates increasing at a faster rate than short-term rates. This causes a larger spread between the two rates as the long-term rate moves further away from the short-term rate. Bull Steepener: A change in the yield curve caused by short-term rates falling faster than long-term rates, resulting in a higher spread between the two rates. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years.
