●   
Core earnings of $411.1 million, $0.41 earnings per common share

New York, New York–August 5, 2015–Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE: NLY) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
 
Financial Performance

The Company reported GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of $900.1 million, or $0.93 per average common share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $476.5 million, or $0.52 loss per average common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, and a GAAP net loss of $335.5 million, or $0.37 loss per average common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to each of the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 is the result of favorable changes in realized and unrealized losses on our interest rate swaps given the higher interest rate environment.

Core earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $411.1 million, or $0.41 per average common share, compared to $254.1 million, or $0.25 per average common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, and $300.4 million, or $0.30 per average common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Core earnings improved during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015 due to lower amortization expense on Investment Securities, a result of higher interest rates and slower prepayment expectations. Core earnings increased during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014 due to lower amortization expense on Investment Securities and a decline in interest expense on swaps due to a shift in the Company’s hedging strategy. "Core earnings" represents a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) excluding gains or losses on disposals of investments and termination of interest rate swaps, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps and financial instruments measured at fair value through earnings, net gains and losses on trading assets, impairment losses, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, and certain other non-recurring gains or losses, and inclusive of dollar roll income (a component of Net gains (losses) on trading assets).

Net interest margin, inclusive of TBA dollar rolls, for the quarters ended June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014 was 2.01%, 1.26% and 1.57%, respectively. Net interest margin represents the sum of the Company's annualized economic net interest income, inclusive of interest expense on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of funds, plus TBA dollar roll income less interest expense on swaps used to hedge dollar roll transactions divided by the sum of its average interest-earning assets plus average outstanding TBA contract balances. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the average yield on interest earning assets was 3.23% and the average cost of interest bearing liabilities, including interest expense on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of funds, was 1.59%, which resulted in a net interest spread of 1.64%. The growth in average yield on interest earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 is attributable to lower amortization expense in the current quarter due to slower estimated prepayment speeds. Our average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015 due to lower weighted average coupons on securitized debt of consolidated VIEs. Our average cost of interest bearing liabilities declined for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014 due to a reduction in swap costs for the current period.
 
"Our quarterly results are a strong reminder of the positive impacts higher rates can have on our earnings. We are very comfortable with our portfolio and look forward to the opportunities ahead," remarked Wellington Denahan, Annaly's Chief Executive Officer and incoming Executive Chairman.
 
Share Repurchase Program
 
Annaly separately announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of its outstanding common shares through December 31, 2016. Purchases made pursuant to the program will be made in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares and the program may be suspended or discontinued at the Company's discretion without prior notice. The Board will assess the effects of this program at its completion.
 
Kevin Keyes, President and incoming Chief Executive Officer of Annaly commented, "I want to congratulate our investment teams for their performance in the quarter. While we believe our diversification strategy uniquely positions us to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, we also feel it is prudent to have a share repurchase program in place as a capital allocation option as we approach periods of increased volatility tied to a potential shift in monetary policy."
 
Internalization of Chimera’s Management

Annaly today announced the termination of the management agreement between its wholly-owned subsidiary Fixed Income Discount Advisory Company (“FIDAC”) and Chimera Investment Corporation (“Chimera”) so that Annaly can directly invest in non-Agency residential mortgages and securities.  This transaction advances Annaly’s build-out and capital deployment in residential mortgage credit investments and is expected to accelerate growth and diversification.  As a result of the internalization, FIDAC personnel who focus their efforts on Chimera will become employees of Chimera. In connection with the transaction, Chimera will purchase Annaly’s 4.4% stake in Chimera for a purchase price of $126.4 million ($14.05 per share).

Mr. Keyes made the following remarks: “As we have grown our investment teams and corporate infrastructure, we have consistently evaluated and selectively expanded Annaly’s targeted investment classes. Investing directly in the non-Agency sector allows Annaly to more efficiently expand our portfolio into assets with complementary risk and return characteristics and better positions us to manage various interest rate cycles in the future.”

Mr. Keyes continued: “The U.S. residential credit market offers Annaly a compelling opportunity as the composition of the housing finance market continues to change. Issuance has climbed to post-crisis highs with the emergence of new products primarily established to transfer risk to the private sector. In addition, significant assets are emerging from legacy sellers given the new regulatory environment and evolution of housing finance reform. Our size, liquidity and expertise provide us with significant growth prospects in this sector.”

Ms. Denahan commented: “When we were a smaller company it was sufficient to achieve exposure to mortgage and commercial credit investments through our stock holdings in the companies we managed through FIDAC. With the growth of our capital base and the changing market landscape, we see greater opportunity to leverage our balance sheet to directly participate in the non-government agency mortgage markets.”

Ms. Denahan added: “While investing in the Agency sector will remain the core of our business, we are excited about the broad opportunities to produce strong risk adjusted returns in the non-Agency residential mortgage credit market.”

The Company uses a third-party model to project prepayment speeds for purposes of determining amortization of related premiums and discounts on Investment Securities. Changes to model assumptions, including interest rates and other market data, as well as periodic revisions to the model may cause changes in the results. The net amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on Investment Securities for the quarters ended June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014, was $94.0 million, $284.8 million, and $149.6 million, respectively.  The total net premium balance on Investment Securities at June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014, was $4.8 billion, $4.7 billion, and $5.4 billion, respectively.

Capital and Funding

At June 30, 2015, total stockholders’ equity was $12.6 billion. Leverage at June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014, was 4.8:1, 4.8:1 and 5.3:1, respectively.  For purposes of calculating the Company’s leverage ratio, debt consists of repurchase agreements, other secured financing, Convertible Senior Notes, securitized debt, participation sold and mortgages payable.

Economic leverage is computed as the sum of debt, TBA derivative notional outstanding and net forward purchases of Investment Securities divided by total equity. At June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014, the Company’s capital ratio, which represents the ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets (inclusive of total market value of TBA derivatives), was 14.2%, 14.1%, and 15.4%, respectively.  On a GAAP basis, the Company produced an annualized return (loss) on average equity for the quarters ended June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014 of 28.00%, (14.41%), and (10.32%), respectively. On a core earnings basis, the Company provided an annualized return on average equity for the quarters ended June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014, of 12.79%, 7.69%, and 9.24%, respectively.

At June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2014, the Company had a common stock book value per share of $12.32, $12.88 and $13.23, respectively.

2Q15 Financial Overview Unaudited  Income Statement Balance Sheet Portfolio  (1) "Core earnings" represents a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) excluding gains or losses on disposals of investments and termination of interest rate swaps, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps and Agency interest-only mortgage-backed securities, net gains and losses on trading assets, impairment losses, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, and certain other nonrecurring gains or losses and inclusive of dollar roll income (a component of net gains and losses on trading assets). (2) For purposes of calculating the Company’s leverage ratio, debt consists of repurchase agreements, other secured financing, Convertible Senior Notes, securitized debt, participation sold and mortgages payable. Securitized debt, participation sold and mortgages payable are non-recourse to the Company. (3) Computed as the sum of debt, TBA derivative notional outstanding and net forward purchases of Investment Securities divided by total equity. (4) Total stockholders’ equity divided by total assets inclusive of outstanding market value of TBA positions. (5) Consists of Investment Securities, U.S. Treasury Securities, securities borrowed, commercial real estate debt and preferred equity, corporate debt, reverse repurchase agreements and cash and cash equivalents. Interest earning assets reflects the average amortized cost of our investments during the period. (6) Represents the sum of the Company’s annualized economic net interest income, inclusive of interest expense on interest rate swaps used to hedge cost of funds, plus dollar roll income less interest expense on swaps used to hedge dollar roll transactions divided by the sum of its average interest-earning assets plus average outstanding TBA derivative balances. (7) Investment Securities consist of Agency mortgage-backed securities, Agency debentures and Agency CRT securities. GAAP net income of $900.1 million, or $0.93 earnings per average common share, resulting in an annualized GAAP return on average equity of 28.00% Core earnings(1) of $411.1 million, or $0.41 per average common share, generating an annualized core return on average equity of 12.79% Declared a $0.30 dividend per common share Common stock book value per share of $12.32 End of period total debt to equity of 4.8x(2); economic leverage ratio of 5.9x(3) End of period capital ratio of 14.2%(4) Weighted average days to maturity on repurchase agreements of 149 days Average yield on interest earning assets(5) of 3.23% and net interest spread of 1.64% during the quarter; net interest margin(6) of 2.01% End of period Investment Securities(7) of $68.2 billion End of period commercial real estate portfolio value of approximately $1.8 billion with a net economic equity investment of $1.3 billion, producing a levered yield of 9.92% 2

Strategy Overview Unaudited Portfolio Positioning Market Opportunities Liability and Interest Rate Management Federal Reserve is likely to raise rates before the end of 2015, although we expect a shallow tightening path going forward and continued portfolio reinvestments well into 2016 to be generally supportive of the Agency mortgage-backed securities (“Agency MBS”) market During the second quarter of 2015, economic leverage was up modestly. We purchased $4.2 billion and disposed of $2.5 billion of Investment Securities, with the increase in purchases largely reflecting reinvestment of runoff Commercial assets remain at 13% of stockholders’ equity Expected levered return on equity of 9% to 11% on purchase of Agency MBS in current market environment Specified pool pay-ups declined during the quarter as investors demanded less call protection in a modestly higher rate environment. Despite the lower pay-up levels, TBAs remain attractive given favorable financing conditions In addition to Agency MBS and commercial real estate, we see opportunities across a broader spectrum of residential credit assets, which is in line with our philosophy of diversifying across business strategies that offer attractive returns and help us better manage interest rate cycles Expected unlevered return of 3.0% to 4.5% for commercial first mortgages pre-securitization with opportunity to hold subordinated tranches yielding 8% to 10% post-securitization, and 7% to 9% unlevered return on equity through commercial mezzanine investments Expected unlevered stabilized return on commercial real estate property investments of 6% to 7% with opportunity to attractively finance with debt that increases cash-on-cash return to 9%+, not including the potential for asset price appreciation Maintain current relatively conservative portfolio leverage in anticipation of taking advantage of future market opportunities that may arise Continue to maintain focus on longer term funding agreements to manage short term interest rate uncertainty Selectively utilize derivatives to hedge against higher interest rates and spikes in volatility 3

Interest Rate Market Performance Following significant rate declines earlier this year, longer-dated interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened in Q2 Rising rates were driven by moderate increases in inflation expectations and term premium Risk events around Greek debt and concerns around global growth prospects resulted in elevated volatility during the quarter Central bank actions, including prospects of the Fed raising rates later this year amid continued improvement in the U.S. labor market, should continue to drive interest rates We expect that the Federal Reserve will raise rates in the second half of 2015; pace of tightening beyond lift-off is far more important than the timing of the first hike We anticipate that the pace of Fed tightening will be gradual given the current growth and inflation outlook Treasury Yield Changes Change Over Q2'15 Change 3/31/15 to date (Through 07/28/2015) U.S. vs. German 10-year Yields Percent bps Source: Bloomberg 4

MBS Market Performance MBS basis underperformed in Q2 2015 driven by higher rates and elevated volatility Underperformance was led by lower coupons; 15-year sector generally performed in line with 30-year securities Prepayment speeds peaked in the early spring and have declined since Given higher rates and lower projected prepayment speeds, specified pool pay-ups declined as demand for prepayment protection moderated Dollar rolls continue to exhibit pockets of specialness, particularly close to TBA settlement dates Fed reinvestment purchases continue to provide support to dollar roll valuations as Fed continues to take out a large portion of cheapest-to-deliver MBS with worst prepayment characteristics MBS Hedge-Adjusted Price Performance 2015 Q2 to Date Specified Pool Payups Source: Credit Suisse, Citigroup (payups data), Annaly calculations. * MBS relative performance vs. swaps reflects cumulative price performance of an MBS position hedged with a combination of 2-yr, 5-yr and 10-yr interest rate swaps on March 31, 2015. Calculations are based on Credit Suisse’ model MBS partial duration profile. Cumulative performance does not include net coupon earnings and assumes no rebalancing of swap hedges. Cumulative performance is through July 28, 2015. 5
