"In the third quarter, the Federal Reserve's pivot to a less restrictive monetary policy stance and the easing of fiscal policy concerns drove robust financial market performance and a significant improvement in investor sentiment. Agency mortgage-backed securities were one of the best-performing fixed income asset classes during the quarter and have now outperformed U.S. treasuries for 5 consecutive months, a sequence of outperformance that has not happened since 2013. In this favorable investment environment, AGNC generated a very strong economic return of 10.6%, comprised of our attractive monthly dividend and book value appreciation."
— Peter Federico, President/CEO & CIO

Executive Summary
AGNC delivered a robust QQ3 2025 quarter driven by a favorable agency MBS environment and a disciplined capital deployment program. Comprehensive income per common share was $0.78, with a tangible return on equity of 10.6% for the period, supported by a $0.36 dividend per share and a $0.47 gain in tangible book value per share. The quarter featured strong liquidity (approximately $7.2 billion in cash and unencumbered Agency MBS at quarter-end) and leverage of 7.6x tangible equity, underscoring a conservative but scalable funding stance as AGNC deployed new capital. Management highlighted a tailwind from lower funding costs as the Fed cuts rates, a shift toward more swap-based hedges, and a full deployment of recently raised capital, which together are expected to lift net spread and dollar roll income in the coming quarters. However, the company remains exposed to prepayment risk and macro policy developments, including potential changes to GSE reform and balance sheet normalization.
Key quantitative takeaways include: (i) revenue of $779 million in Q3 2025 with net income of $806 million and EPS of $0.73; (ii) a 76β77% hedge ratio positioning (and a notable addition of $7 billion of receiver swaptions) to enhance down-rate protection; (iii) an asset portfolio of ~ $91 billion with a weighted average coupon of ~5.14% and a TBA position of ~$14 billion; (iv) a capital raise of $345 million in fixed-rate preferred equity and $309 million of common equity; and (v) tangible book value per common share broadly flat to modestly up into October. Taken together, these factors position AGNC to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns given a continued favorable MBS spread environment and ongoing regulatory and policy developments that support agency MBS demand.
