DisclaimerandNotes
This disclaimer applies to this document and the oral comments made by the individuals presenting it (the Presentation). Forward Looking Statements: This Presentation contains certain forwardlooking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forwardlooking statements relate to, among other things, the operating performance of our investments, the stability of our earnings, our financing needs, potential investments, estimated investment returns and assumptions underlying those returns (including, but not limited to, recapture rates, prepayments rates, default rates), projected dividend growth and interest rate changes. Forwardlooking statements are generally identifiable by use of forwardlooking terminology such as may, will, should, potential, intend, expect, endeavor, seek, anticipate, estimate, overestimate, underestimate, believe, could, project, predict, continue, target or other similar words or expressions. Forwardlooking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forwardlooking information. Our ability to predict results or the actual outcome of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forwardlooking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward looking statements. These forwardlooking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: reductions in cash flows received from our investments; our ability to take advantage of opportunities in additional asset classes or types of assets, at attractive riskadjusted prices; our ability to take advantage of opportunities in investments in excess mortgage servicing rights; our ability to deploy capital accretively; the risks that prepayment, default and recovery rates on our real estate securities and loan portfolios deteriorate compared to our underwriting estimates; the relationship between yields on assets which are paid off and yields on assets in which such monies can be reinvested; the relative spreads between the yield on the assets we invest in and the cost of financing; changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate and bond markets specifically; adverse changes in the financing markets we access affecting our ability to finance our investments, or in a manner that maintains our historic net spreads; changing risk assessments by lenders that potentially lead to increased margin calls, not extending our repurchase agreements or other financings in accordance with their current terms or entering into new financings with us; changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads, as well as the success of any hedging strategy we may undertake in relation to such changes; the quality and size of the investment pipeline and the rate at which we can invest our cash, including cash inside our collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs; changes in the fair value of our excess servicing assets, our dependence on mortgage servicers to service the mortgages underlying our excess servicing assets, GSE initiatives and other actions that may adversely affect returns on our excess servicing assets; impairments in the value of the collateral underlying our investments and the relation of any such impairments to our judgments as to whether changes in the market value of our securities, loans or real estate are temporary or not and whether circumstances bearing on the value of such assets warrant changes in carrying values; legislative/regulatory changes, including, but not limited to, any modification of the terms of loans; the availability and cost of capital for future investments; competition within the finance and real estate industries; and other risks detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forwardlooking statements, which reflect our managements views as of the date of this Presentation significantly from those contained in any forwardlooking statement. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forwardlooking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward looking statements after the date of this Presentation to conform these statements to actual results. Expected, Targeted or Modeled Returns: Expected, targeted or modeled returns are estimates of the annualized effective rate of return that the Company presently expects to be earned or targets to be earned over the expected average life of an investment (i.e., IRR), after giving effect to existing leverage (if any), calculated on a weighted average basis, projected market conditions and other factors. Income recognized by the Company in future periods may be significantly less than the income that would have been recognized if an expected, targeted or modeled return were actually realized, and the estimates we use to calculate expected returns would differ materially from actual results. Statements about expected, targeted or modeled returns in this Presentation are forwardlooking statements. You should carefully read the cautionary statement above under the caption ForwardLooking Statements, which directly applies to our discussion of expected, targeted or modeled returns. Past performance: In all cases where historical performance is presented, please note that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and should not be relied upon as the basis for making an investment decision. Risk Factors: Investing in Newcastles or New Residentials common stock involves a high degree of risk. For more information on such risks, please refer to the factors detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. No reliance, no update and use of information: You should not rely exclusively on the Presentation as the basis upon which to make an investment decision. The information in the Presentation is provided to you as of the dates indicated and Newcastle does not intend to update the information after its distribution, even in the event that the information becomes materially inaccurate. Certain information contained in the Presentation includes calculations or figures that have been prepared internally and have not been audited or verified by a third party. Use of different methods for preparing, calculating or presenting information may lead to different results and such differences may be material.
