1. Organization
AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Company" or "MITT") is a residential mortgage REIT with a focus on investing in a diversified risk-adjusted portfolio of residential mortgage-related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. The Company’s investment activities primarily include acquiring and securitizing newly-originated residential mortgage loans within the non-agency segment of the housing market. The Company obtains its residential mortgage loans through Arc Home, LLC ("Arc Home"), a residential mortgage loan originator in which the Company owns an approximate 44.6 % interest, and through other third-party origination partners.
On December 6, 2023, the Company acquired Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation ("WMC"), an externally managed mortgage REIT that focused on investing in, financing and managing a portfolio of residential mortgage loans, real estate related securities, and commercial real estate loans.
The Company’s assets, excluding its ownership in Arc Home, include Residential Investments, Agency RMBS and Legacy WMC Commercial Investments. Currently, its Residential Investments primarily consist of newly originated Non-Agency Loans, Agency-Eligible Loans, and Home Equity Loans. The Company may invest in other types of residential mortgage loans and other mortgage related assets. The Company also invests in Residential Investments through its unconsolidated ownership interests in affiliates which are included in the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item on its consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's asset classes are primarily comprised of the following:
Asset Class Description
Residential Investments
Non-Agency Loans (1)
• Non-Agency Loans are loans that do not conform to the underwriting guidelines of a government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE"). Non-Agency Loans consist of Qualified mortgage loans ("QM Loans") and Non-Qualified mortgage loans ("Non-QM Loans"). QM Loans are residential mortgage loans that comply with the Ability-To-Repay rules and related guidelines of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Agency-Eligible Loans (1)
• Agency-Eligible Loans are loans that are underwritten in accordance with GSE guidelines and are primarily secured by investment properties, but are not guaranteed by a GSE. Although these loans are underwritten in accordance with GSE guidelines and can be delivered to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Company includes these loans within its Non-Agency securitizations.
Home Equity Loans (1)
• Home Equity Loans are revolving lines of credit or closed-end loans secured primarily by a second lien on a residential mortgaged property which provide borrowers access to the equity in their home without the need to pay off their existing mortgage. Home Equity Loans that are structured as revolving lines of credit generally have an initial draw period of 3 to 5 years, and after the initial draw period ends, the loans generally convert to 15- or 25-year amortizing loans.
Re- and Non-Performing Loans (1)
• Performing, re-performing, and non-performing loans are residential mortgage loans collateralized by a first lien mortgaged property.
Non-Agency RMBS (2)
• Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities ("RMBS") represent fixed- and floating-rate RMBS issued by entities other than U.S. GSEs or agencies of the U.S. government. Non-Agency RMBS are primarily secured by Non-Agency, Agency-Eligible, and Home Equity Loans.
Agency RMBS (2)
• Agency RMBS represent interests in pools of residential mortgage loans guaranteed by a GSE such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or an agency of the U.S. Government such as Ginnie Mae.
Legacy WMC Commercial Investments (3)
Commercial Loans • Commercial loans represent first lien commercial mortgage loan participations.
CMBS (2)
• Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities ("CMBS") represent investments of fixed-rate and floating-rate CMBS, secured by, or evidencing an ownership interest in, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans.

(1) These investments are included in the "Securitized residential mortgage loans, at fair value" or "Residential mortgage loans, at fair value" line items on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2) These investments are included in the "Real estate securities, at fair value" line item on the consolidated balance sheets.
(3) These investments include commercial loans and CMBS (collectively, the "Legacy WMC Commercial Investments") that were acquired in the WMC acquisition. The Company expects to either hold the Legacy WMC Commercial Investments until maturity or opportunistically exit these investments.
The Company conducts its business through one reportable segment, Loans and Securities, which reflects how the Company manages its business and analyzes and reports its results of operations. Refer to Note 13 for additional details on segment reporting.
The Company was incorporated in the state of Maryland on March 1, 2011 and commenced operations in July 2011. The Company conducts its operations to qualify and be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Company is externally managed by AG REIT Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Manager"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. ("TPG Angelo Gordon"), a diversified credit and real estate investing platform within TPG Inc. ("TPG"). The Manager has delegated to TPG Angelo Gordon the overall responsibility of its day-to-day duties and obligations arising under the management agreement.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and certain variable interest entities. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Consolidation and basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows have been included for the interim period and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no significant changes to the Company's accounting policies included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 . These unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Form 10-K.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investment consolidation
An entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") if the equity investors (i) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) are unable to direct the entity’s activities or (iii) are not exposed to the entity’s losses or entitled to its residual returns. VIEs within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810-10, "Consolidation" are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This determination can sometimes involve complex and subjective analyses. Further, ASC 810-10 also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. In accordance with ASC 810-10, all transferees, including variable interest entities, must be evaluated for consolidation. If the Company determines that
9
AG Mortgage Investment Trust Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2025
consolidation is not required, it will then assess whether the transfer of the underlying assets would qualify as a sale, should be accounted for as secured financings under GAAP, or should be accounted for as an equity method investment, depending on the circumstances.
A Special Purpose Entity ("SPE") is an entity designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it. SPEs are often used to facilitate transactions that involve securitizing financial assets or resecuritizing previously securitized financial assets. The objective of such transactions may include obtaining non-recourse financing, obtaining liquidity or refinancing the underlying securitized financial assets on improved terms. Securitization involves transferring assets to an SPE to convert all or a portion of those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business through the SPE’s issuance of debt or equity instruments. Investors in an SPE usually have recourse only to the assets in the SPE and depending on the overall structure of the transaction, may benefit from various forms of credit enhancement, such as over-collateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, priority with respect to receipt of cash flows relative to holders of other debt or equity instruments issued by the SPE, or a line of credit or other form of liquidity agreement that is designed with the objective of ensuring that investors receive principal and/or interest cash flow on the investment in accordance with the terms of their investment agreement.
The Company enters into securitization transactions collateralized by its Non-Agency Loans/Agency-Eligible Loans and re- and non-performing loans (the trusts in which these loans are deposited are referred to as "Non-Agency VIEs" and "RPL/NPL VIEs", respectively), which may result in the Company consolidating the respective VIEs that are created to facilitate these securitizations. Based on the evaluations of each VIE, the Company may conclude that the VIEs should be consolidated and, as a result, transferred assets of these VIEs would be determined to be secured borrowings. Upon consolidation, the Company elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825 for the assets and liabilities of the Non-Agency VIEs and RPL/NPL VIEs. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations, which, in management's view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all activities will be recorded in a similar manner. The Company applied the guidance under ASC 810-10 (Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity) whereby the Company determines whether the fair value of the assets or liabilities of the Non-Agency VIEs and RPL/NPL VIEs are more observable as a basis for measuring the less observable financial instruments. The Company has determined that the fair value of the liabilities of the Non-Agency VIEs and RPL/NPL VIEs are more observable since the prices for these liabilities are more easily determined as similar instruments trade more frequently on a relative basis than the individual assets of the VIEs. See Note 3 for more detail regarding the Non-Agency VIEs and RPL/NPL VIEs and Note 5 for more detail related to the Company's determination of fair value for the assets and liabilities included within these VIEs.
Transfers of financial assets
The Company may periodically enter into transactions in which it transfers assets to a third-party. Upon a transfer of financial assets, the Company will sometimes retain or acquire senior or subordinated interests in the related assets. Pursuant to ASC 860-10, "Transfers and Servicing", a determination must be made as to whether a transferor has surrendered control over transferred financial assets. That determination must consider the transferor’s continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, including all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the transfer, even if they were not entered into at the time of the transfer. The financial components approach under ASC 860-10 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. It defines the term "participating interest" to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale.
Under ASC 860-10, after a transfer of financial assets that meets the criteria for treatment as a sale—legal isolation, ability of transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred assets without constraint and transferred control—an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it acquired or retained and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets it has sold and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The transferor would then determine the gain or loss on sale of financial assets by allocating the carrying value of the underlying mortgage between securities or loans sold and the interests retained based on their fair value. The gain or loss on sale is the difference between the cash proceeds from the sale and the amount allocated to the securities or loans sold. When a transfer of financial assets does not qualify for sale accounting, ASC 860-10 requires the transfer to be accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral.
From time to time, the Company may securitize mortgage loans it holds if such financing is available. These transactions will be recorded in accordance with ASC 860-10 and will be accounted for as either a "sale" and the loans will be removed from the
10

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2025
consolidated balance sheets or as a "financing" and will be classified as "Securitized residential mortgage loans, at fair value" on the consolidated balance sheets, depending upon the structure of the securitization transaction. ASC 860-10 is a standard that may require the Company to exercise significant judgment in determining whether a transaction should be recorded as a "sale" or a "financing."
Recent accounting pronouncements
Income taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)", which focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. This standard requires entities to provide additional information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and reconciling items in the rate reconciliation table, and to disclose further disaggregation of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal (national), state and foreign taxes by jurisdiction. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively, but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively for each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact upon adoption, but does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Expense disaggregation
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220- 40)", and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date". This standard requires public companies to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The new standard, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact upon adoption, but does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Variable interest entities
The Company entered into securitization transactions collateralized by its Non-Agency Loans/Agency-Eligible Loans and re- and non-performing loans, of which the securitization trusts are considered VIEs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and, as a result, consolidated the assets and liabilities of the VIEs on its consolidated balance sheets. In a securitization transaction, a pool of loans is transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the loans are deposited into a newly created securitization trust. The securitization trust issues various classes of mortgage pass-through certificates backed by the cash flows from the underlying residential mortgage loans (the "Certificates"). As the sponsor of the securitization, the Company retains certain Certificates issued by the securitization trusts in order to satisfy risk retention rules, which generally require the sponsor to retain at least 5% of the fair value of the Certificates issued in the securitization . The Company's continuing involvement in these securitization trusts represents its retained Certificates and the ability to purchase all of the outstanding Certificates upon the occurrence of certain events through an optional redemption right held by the Company. The Company has also engaged a related party of the Manager and direct subsidiary of TPG Angelo Gordon to act as the servicing administrator of certain securitization trusts.

5. Fair value measurements
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." When possible, the Company determines fair value using third-party data sources. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices and may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used and reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1) As of March 31, 2025, the Company applied a reduction in fair value of $ 6.4 million and $ 2.2 million to its interest rate swap assets and liabilities, respectively, related to variation margin with a corresponding increase or decrease in restricted cash. As of December 31, 2024, the Company applied a reduction in fair value of $ 11.4 million and $ 35.0 thousand to its interest rate swap assets and liabilities, respectively, related to variation margin with a corresponding increase or decrease in restricted cash, net of collateral posted by the Company's derivative counterparties. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in the "Other assets" and "Other liabilities" line items on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Refer to Note 7 for more information on the Company's derivatives.
(2) The Company classifies highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash invested in money market funds and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
(3) The table above includes the Company's investment in AG Arc, which is included in its "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company has chosen to elect the fair value option with respect to its investment pursuant to ASC 825.
The valuation of the Company’s residential mortgage loans, securitized debt relating to the Non-Agency VIEs and RPL/NPL VIEs, commercial loans, certain securities, and forward purchase commitments is determined by the Manager using third-party

pricing services where available, valuation analyses from third-party pricing service providers, or model-based pricing. Third-party pricing service providers conduct independent valuation analyses based on a review of source documents, available market data, and comparable investments. The analyses provided by valuation service providers are reviewed and considered by the Manager. The evaluation considers the underlying characteristics of each loan, which are observable inputs, including: coupon, maturity date, loan age, reset date, collateral type, periodic and life cap, geography, and historical prepayment speeds. The Company also considers loan servicing data, as available, forward interest rates, general economic conditions, home price index forecasts, and valuations of the underlying properties. The variables considered most significant to the determination of the fair value of the Company's residential mortgage loans, securitized debt, commercial loans, certain securities, and forward purchase commitments include market-implied discount rates, projections of default rates, delinquency rates, prepayment rates, loss severity, loan-to-value ratios, recovery rates, reperformance rates, timeline to liquidation, and, for forward purchase commitments, pull-through rates. The Company and third-party pricing service providers use loan level data and macro-economic inputs to generate loss adjusted cash flows and other information in determining the fair value. Because of the inherent uncertainty of such valuation, the fair value established for mortgage loans, securitized debt, commercial loans, certain securities, and forward purchase commitments held by the Company may differ from the fair value that would have been established if a ready market existed for these mortgage loans.
Fair values for the Company’s securities and derivatives may be based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing services or broker quotations. The valuation methodology of the Company’s third-party pricing services incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to various indices, which are observable inputs. The evaluation also considers the underlying characteristics of each investment, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon, maturity date, loan age, reset date, collateral type, periodic and life cap, geography, and prepayment speeds. The Company collects and considers current market intelligence on all major markets, including benchmark security evaluations and bid-lists from various sources, when available. As part of the Company’s risk management process, the Company reviews and analyzes all prices obtained by comparing prices to recently completed transactions involving the same or similar investments on or near the reporting date. If, in the opinion of the Manager, one or more prices reported to the Company are not reliable or unavailable, the Manager reviews the fair value based on characteristics of the investment it receives from the issuer and available market information.
The Company's investment in Arc Home is evaluated on a periodic basis using a market approach. In applying the market approach, fair value is determined by multiplying Arc Home's book value by a relevant valuation multiple observed based on a range of comparable public entities or transactions, adjusted by management as appropriate for differences between the investment and the referenced comparables. The evaluation also considers the underlying financial performance of Arc Home, general economic conditions, and relevant trends within the mortgage banking industry.
Changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of these investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized to be different than the valuations currently estimated. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s loans and securities are yields, prepayment rates, probability of default, and loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in Arc Home is the book value multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in the multiple applied would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Transfers into the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy occur due to instruments exhibiting indications of reduced levels of market transparency. Transfers out of the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy occur due to instruments exhibiting indications of increased levels of market transparency. Indications of increases or decreases in levels of market transparency include a change in observable transactions or executable quotes involving these instruments or similar instruments. Changes in these indications could impact price transparency, and thereby cause a change in level designations in future periods.

(1) The Company also had $ 5.1 million and $ 10.6 million of cash pledged under repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(2) Under the terms of the Company’s financing agreements, the Company's financing counterparties may, in certain cases, sell or re-hypothecate the pledged collateral.
(3) Financing arrangements are recorded at amortized cost in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of certain of the Company's financing arrangements approximates the carrying value due to their floating interest rates and short-term maturities of generally one year or less. These financing arrangements are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had certain fixed-rate long-term financing arrangements which had an amortized cost and fair value of $ 46.7 million and $ 47.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the fixed-rate long-term financing arrangements is based on a discounted cash flow valuation approach using valuation analyses of the underlying collateral sourced from third-party pricing service providers and is classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
(4) Amounts pledged as collateral under Securitized residential mortgage loans include certain of the Company's retained interests in securitizations. Refer to Note 3 for more information on the Non-Agency VIEs and RPL/NPL VIEs.
(5) The weighted average stated rate on the financing arrangements on the Company's Securitized Non-Agency Loans, Home Equity Loans, and Legacy WMC Commercial Loans was 6.56 %, 6.58 %, and 7.07 %, respectively.
(6) The Company's Residential mortgage loan financing arrangements include a maximum uncommitted borrowing capacity of $ 1.8 billion on facilities used to finance Agency-Eligible, Home Equity and Non-Agency Loans,.
(7) The holders of the securitized debt have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company has no obligation to provide any other explicit or implicit support to the Non-Agency VIEs and RPL/NPL VIEs.
(8) The weighted average funding costs are calculated based on the amortized cost of the underlying securities.

Derivative and other instruments eligible for offset are presented gross on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, if applicable. The Company has not offset or netted any derivatives or other instruments with any financial instruments or cash collateral posted or received.
The Company must post cash or securities as collateral on its derivative instruments when their fair value declines. This typically occurs when prevailing market rates change adversely, with the severity of the change also dependent on the term of the derivatives involved. The posting of collateral is generally bilateral, meaning that if the fair value of the Company’s derivatives increases, its counterparty must post collateral. As of March 31, 2025, the Company's restricted cash balance included $ 8.6 million of collateral related to certain derivatives, of which $ 4.4 million represents cash collateral posted by the Company and $ 4.2 million represents amounts related to variation margin. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's restricted cash balance included $ 9.3 million of collateral related to certain derivatives, of which $ 0.7 million represents cash collateral posted by the Company and $ 8.6 million represents amounts related to variation margin.

9. Income taxes
The Company conducts its operations to qualify and be taxed as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions to its stockholders, and provided it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution, and stock ownership tests. The state and local tax jurisdictions for which the Company is subject to tax-filing obligations recognize the Company’s status as a REIT, and therefore, the Company generally does not pay income tax in such jurisdictions. The Company may, however, be subject to certain minimum state and local tax filing fees as well as certain excise, franchise, or business taxes.

On December 6, 2023, the Company acquired WMC, an externally managed mortgage REIT. The WMC acquisition is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Excise Tax
Excise tax represents a non-deductible 4% tax on the required amount of the Company’s ordinary income and net capital gains not distributed during the year. The expense is calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations. The below table details excise tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, which is recorded in the “Non-investment related expenses” line item on the consolidated statement of operations (in thousands).

REIT Net Operating Loss and Net Capital Loss Carryforwards
In connection with the WMC acquisition, the Company obtained federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $ 321.6 million, of which $ 223.8 million do not have an expiration date and can be carried forward indefinitely. However, the Company’s use of the NOLs obtained in the WMC acquisition is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the remaining NOL carryforwards obtained in the WMC acquisition was $ 319.4 million.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had estimated net capital loss ("NCL") carryforwards of $ 279.2 million and $ 278.9 million, respectively. These NCL carryforwards (which exclude NCLs acquired from WMC) can be utilized to offset future net gains from the sale of capital assets. NCL carryforwards of $ 225.7 million were generated during the year ended December 31, 2020 and, if not utilized, will expire on December 31, 2025.
In connection with the WMC acquisition, the Company obtained NCL carryforwards. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, these estimated NCL carryforwards were $ 150.6 million, all of which expire by 2029. However, the Company’s use of these NCLs is limited under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Taxable REIT Subsidiaries
The Company elected to treat certain domestic subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"). The Company’s financial results are generally not expected to reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes, except for any activities conducted through one or more TRSs that are subject to corporate income taxation. Currently, the Company has wholly owned domestic TRSs that are taxable as corporations and subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax on net income at the applicable corporate rates. The federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from its combined U.S. federal, state, and local corporate statutory tax rate primarily due to income earned at the REIT, which is not subject to tax, due to the deduction for qualifying distributions made by the Company, and any change in the valuation allowance as disclosed in further detail below. The tax expense attributable to its TRSs is recorded in the "Non-investment related expenses" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The below table details the tax expense attributable to its TRSs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands).

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes at the TRS level. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $ 33.3 million and $ 34.7 million, respectively, relating to net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards, and basis differences of certain investments held within TRSs. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which temporary differences become deductible. The Company concluded it is more likely than not the deferred tax asset will not be realized and established a full valuation allowance as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Uncertain Income Tax Positions
Based on its analysis of any potential uncertain income tax positions, the Company concluded it did not have any uncertain tax positions that meet the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company’s and WMC's federal income tax returns for the last three tax years are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. There are no ongoing U.S. federal, state or local tax examinations related to the Company. In the event that the Company incurs income tax related interest and penalties, its policy is to classify them as a component of provision for income taxes. The Company did no t incur any interest or penalties during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Manager
The Company has entered into a management agreement with the Manager, which provided for an initial term and will be deemed renewed automatically each year for an additional one-year period, subject to certain termination rights. The Company is externally managed and advised by the Manager. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement, which became effective July 6, 2011 (upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering (the "IPO")), the Manager provides the Company with its management team, including its officers, along with appropriate support personnel.

The Manager has delegated to TPG Angelo Gordon the overall responsibility of its day-to-day duties and obligations arising under the Company’s management agreement. Below is a description of the fees and reimbursements provided in the management agreement.
On November 1, 2023, TPG completed the acquisition of TPG Angelo Gordon (the "TPG Transaction"), pursuant to which TPG Angelo Gordon, including the Manager, became indirect subsidiaries of TPG. Pursuant to the management agreement with the Manager, the closing of the TPG Transaction resulted in an assignment of the management agreement. The independent directors of the Company's Board of Directors unanimously consented to such assignment on July 31, 2023 in advance of the TPG Transaction closing. There were no changes to the management agreement in connection with the TPG Transaction and the assignment of the management agreement became effective upon the closing of the TPG Transaction.
In connection with the WMC acquisition, which was completed on December 6, 2023, and contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on August 8, 2023, the Company and the Manager entered into the MITT Management Agreement Amendment, pursuant to which (i) the Manager’s base management fee will be reduced by $ 0.6 million for the first four quarters following the Effective Time, beginning with the fiscal quarter in which the Effective Time occurs (i.e., resulting in an aggregate $ 2.4 million waiver of base management fees), and (ii) the Manager will waive its right to seek reimbursement from the Company for any expenses otherwise reimbursable by the Company under the management agreement in an amount equal to approximately $ 1.3 million, which is the excess of $ 7.0 million over the aggregate Per Share Additional Manager Consideration paid by the Manager to the holders of WMC Common Stock under the Merger Agreement. The MITT Management Agreement Amendment became effective automatically upon the closing of the WMC acquisition.
Management fee
The Manager is entitled to a management fee equal to 1.50 % per annum, calculated and paid quarterly, of the Company’s Stockholders’ Equity. For purposes of calculating the management fee, "Stockholders’ Equity" means the sum of the net proceeds from any issuances of equity securities (including preferred securities) since inception (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance, and excluding any future equity issuance to the Manager), plus the Company’s retained earnings at the end of such quarter (without taking into account any non-cash equity compensation expense or other non-cash items incurred in current or prior periods), less any amount that the Company pays for

11. Equity
Stock repurchase programs
On August 3, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the "2022 Repurchase Program") to repurchase up to $ 15.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The 2022 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and permits the Company to repurchase its shares through various methods, including open market repurchases, privately negotiated block transactions and Rule 10b5-1 plans. The Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time in compliance with SEC regulations and other legal requirements. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing, manner, price, and amount of any such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors including market conditions and other corporate considerations as determined by the Company’s management, as well as the limits of the 2022 Repurchase Program and the Company's liquidity and business strategy. The 2022 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares and may be modified or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $ 1.5 million of common stock remained authorized for future share repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program. There were no repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
On May 4, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the "2023 Repurchase Program") to repurchase up to $ 15.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock on substantially the same terms as the 2022 Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2025, the full $ 15.0 million authorized amount remains available for repurchase under the 2023 Repurchase Program. This authorization is in addition to the amount remaining under the 2022 Repurchase Program.
On February 22, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the "Preferred Repurchase Program") pursuant to which the Company's Board of Directors granted a repurchase authorization to acquire shares of the Company's 8.25 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"), 8.00 % Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"), and 8.000 % Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") having an aggregate value of up to $ 20.0 million. No share repurchases under the Preferred Repurchase Program have been made since its authorization.
Shares of stock repurchased by the Company under any repurchase program, if any, will be cancelled and, until reissued by the Company, will be deemed to be authorized but unissued shares of its stock as required by Maryland law. The cost of the

Equity Incentive Plans
Effective on April 15, 2020 upon the approval of the Company's stockholders at its 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Equity Incentive Plan") provides for a maximum of 666,666 shares of common stock to be issued. The maximum number of shares of common stock granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during any fiscal year, shall not exceed $ 300,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the grant date fair value). As of March 31, 2025, 239,183 shares of common stock remained available to be awarded under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
Since inception of the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and through March 31, 2025, the Company has granted an aggregate of 268,313 shares of restricted common stock to its independent directors under its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, all of which have vested.

Through March 31, 2025, the two independent directors have also been granted an aggregate of 3,208 dividend equivalent units. These restricted stock units and associated dividend equivalent units vested in full on June 23, 2024, and will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock upon each independent director's separation from service with the Company.

As of March 31, 2025, there were no shares or awards issued under the 2021 Manager Plan.

Director compensation

To the extent that any fractional shares would otherwise be issuable and payable to each independent director, a cash payment is made to each independent director in lieu of any fractional shares. All directors’ fees are paid pro rata (and restricted common stock grants determined) on a quarterly basis in arrears, and shares issued are fully vested and non-forfeitable. These shares may not be sold or transferred by such director during the time of their service as an independent member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(collectively, the "2024 Sales Agents"), pursuant to which the Company may sell up to $ 75.0 million aggregate offering price of shares of its common stock from time to time through an "at-the-market" equity offering program under which the 2024 Sales Agents will act as sales agent.

13. Segment Reporting
The Company operates its business as a single operating and reportable segment, Loans and Securities, as its business focuses on acquiring, investing in and financing residential mortgage-related assets in the U.S. mortgage market. The Company’s investment activities primarily include acquiring and securitizing newly-originated residential mortgage loans within the non-agency segment of the housing market. The Company obtains its residential mortgage loans through Arc Home or through other third-party origination partners. The Company finances its acquired loans through various financing lines on a short-term basis and utilizes TPG Angelo Gordon’s proprietary securitization platform to secure long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing as market conditions permit.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM manages the business and reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses consolidated net income reported on the consolidated statements of operations as the primary measure to make resource allocation decisions and evaluate the performance of the Company. Operating expenses include management fees, non-investment related expenses, investment related expenses and transaction related expenses. The CODM is regularly provided operating expenses as presented on the consolidated statements of operations when evaluating the Company’s net income. There is no difference between segment assets and total consolidated assets as presented on the consolidated balance sheets. As the Company operates as a single segment, the accounting policies utilized by the segment are consistent with those included in the consolidated financial statements here within.
