ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE 2ND QUARTER 2013

Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYS: NLY) today reported GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 of $1.6 billion or $1.71 per average common share as compared to GAAP net income of $870.3 million or $0.90 per average common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and GAAP net loss of $91.2 million or $0.10 per average common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Without the effect of the unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps and Agency interest-only mortgage-backed securities, net loss on extinguishment of the 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the "4% Convertible Notes"), impairment of goodwill and loss on previously held equity interest in CreXus Investment Corp. ("CreXus"), net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $460.6 million or $0.47 per average common share as compared to $464.4 million or $0.47 per average common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and $546.2 million or $0.55 per average common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Agency mortgage-backed securities, Agency debentures, and corporate debt are considered Investment Securities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company disposed of $14.8 billion of Investment Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $148.0 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company disposed of $17.2 billion of Investment Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $182.8 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company disposed of $6.4 billion of Investment Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $94.8 million.

Common dividends declared for the quarters ended June 30, 2013, March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2012 were $0.40, $0.45, and $0.55 per common share, respectively. The Company distributes dividends based on its current estimate of taxable earnings per common share, not GAAP earnings. Taxable and GAAP earnings will typically differ due to items such as non-taxable unrealized and realized gains and losses, differences in premium amortization and discount accretion, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses. The annualized dividend yield on the Company's common stock for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, based on the June 30, 2013 closing price of $12.57, was 12.73%, as compared to 11.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and 13.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

On a GAAP basis, the Company produced an annualized return on average equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 of 45.87%, an annualized return on average equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of 22.29%, and an annualized loss on average equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 of 2.26%. Without the effect of the unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps and Agency interest-only mortgage-backed securities, net loss on extinguishment of the 4% Convertible Notes, impairment of goodwill and loss on previously held equity interest in CreXus, the Company provided an annualized return on average equity for the quarters ended June 30, 2013, March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2012, of 12.90%, 11.90%, and 13.56%, respectively. Leverage at June 30, 2013, March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2012, was 6.2:1, 6.6:1 and 6.0:1, respectively. Leverage includes loan participations and mortgage payable which are non-recourse to the Company.

Wellington J. Denahan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Annaly, commented on the Company's results. "While the resulting sell-off in the bond market put pressure on asset values during the 2nd quarter, I believe that our focus on prudent risk management and the evolution of our capital allocation strategy has helped protect our portfolio and positions Annaly to take advantage of current market opportunities. We are prepared to be opportunistic given our low leverage, strong liquidity and sizeable capital position."

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the annualized yield on average interest-earning assets was 2.51% and the annualized cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities, including the net interest payments on interest rate swaps, was 1.53%, which resulted in an average interest rate spread of 0.98%. This was a 7 basis point increase from the 0.91% average interest rate spread for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and a 56 basis point decrease from the 1.54% average interest rate spread for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Fixed-rate Agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures comprised 92% of the Company's Investment Securities portfolio at June 30, 2013. Adjustable-rate Agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures comprised 8% of the Company's Investment Securities portfolio. At June 30, 2013, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $48.5 billion, or 53% of the Company's Agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures. Changes in the unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate swaps are reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The purpose of the interest rate swaps is to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates that affect the Company's cost of funds. Since the Company receives a floating rate on the notional amount of the swaps, the intended effect of the swaps is to lock in cost of financing. As of June 30, 2013, the swap portfolio had a weighted average pay rate of 2.05%, a weighted average receive rate of 0.22% and weighted average years to maturity of 5.04. As of June 30, 2013, substantially all of the Company's Investment Securities were Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities and debentures.
