Our operating platforms occupy a unique position in the housing finance value chain, providing liquidity to growing segments of the U.S. housing market not well served by government programs. We deliver customized housing credit investments to a diverse mix of investors through our best-in-class securitization platforms, whole-loan distribution activities and our publicly-traded securities. Our aggregation, origination and investment activities have evolved to incorporate a diverse mix of residential consumer and residential investor housing credit assets. Our goal is to provide attractive returns to shareholders through a stable and growing stream of earnings and dividends, capital appreciation, and a commitment to technological innovation that facilitates risk-minded scale. We operate our business in three segments: Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking, Residential Investor Mortgage Banking and Investment Portfolio.

Our primary sources of income are net interest income from our investments and non-interest income from our mortgage banking activities. Net interest income primarily consists of the interest income we earn on investments less the interest expense we incur on borrowed funds and other liabilities. Income from mortgage banking activities is generated through the origination and acquisition of loans, and their subsequent sale, securitization, or transfer to our investment portfolios.

Redwood Trust, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. We generally refer, collectively, to Redwood Trust, Inc. and those of its subsidiaries that are generally not subject to subsidiary-level corporate income tax as “the REIT” or “our REIT.” We generally refer to subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. that are subject to subsidiary-level corporate income tax as “our taxable REIT subsidiaries” or “TRS.”

Redwood Trust, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Maryland on April 11, 1994, and commenced operations on August 19, 1994. References herein to “Redwood,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include Redwood Trust, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. For a full description of our business, see Part I, Item 1—Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements presented herein are at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") — as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) — have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements according to these SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures included in these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments have been made to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at June 30, 2024 and results of operations for all periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the first quarter of 2024, we updated the names of our Residential loans to Residential consumer loans and our Business purpose loans to Residential investor loans. There were no changes to the classifications of account balances as a result of these updates. in names. All prior period references in this document were conformed to this presentation.

In the second quarter of 2024, we combined the presentation of Short-term and Long-term debt within Debt obligations, net and Goodwill and Intangible assets within Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income, as applicable. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of this change and all prior periods in this document were conformed to this presentation.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation - (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the entities where the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity ("VOE") or a variable interest entity ("VIE").

A VOE is an entity that has sufficient equity and in which equity investors have a controlling financial interest. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a VOE is ownership of a majority voting interest. if the Company has a controlling majority voting interest in a VOE, the entity is consolidated.

A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a VOE. The Company has a controlling financial interest in and consolidates a VIE when the firm has a variable interest or interests that provide it with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits for the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. See Note 15 for further information about VIEs.

For financial reporting purposes, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain entities formed in connection with the securitization of our loans and home equity investments ("HEI"), which we have determined to be VIEs and in which we have a controlling financial interest. The underlying loans owned at the consolidated securitization entities are shown under Residential consumer loans and Residential investor loans, at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. The underlying HEI at the consolidated HEI securitization entities are shown under Home equity investments, at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for further discussion on HEI. The asset-backed securities (“ABS”) issued to third parties by these entities are shown under ABS issued. In our consolidated statements of income, we record interest income on the loans owned at these entities and interest expense on the ABS issued by these entities as well as fair value changes, other income and expenses associated with these entities' activities. See Note 16 for further discussion on ABS issued.

We also consolidate two partnerships ("Servicing Investment" entities) through which we have invested in servicing-related assets. We maintain an 80% ownership interest in each entity and have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these partnerships.

See Note 15 for further discussion on Principles of consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, valuation allowances, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. Our estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from our estimates and the differences could be material.

Included in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 is a summary of our significant accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Newly Adopted Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs")

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848." This new guidance defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide temporary relief during the transition period. Through June 30, 2024, we had not elected to apply the optional expedients and exceptions to any of our existing contracts, hedging relationships, or other transactions. At June 30, 2024, we had no remaining LIBOR-indexed financial assets or liabilities.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, "Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement." ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture, upon formation, to initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. This generally aligns the treatment to be consistent with the guidance for business combinations. This new guidance is effective for all joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Joint ventures formed prior to the adoption date may elect to apply the new guidance retrospectively back to their original formation date. We expect that this new guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. "ASU 2023-07 expands the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures by requiring disclosures of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss. Other disclosure requirements involve the amount and composition of other segment items and how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance and to decide how to allocate resources. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect that this new guidance will result in additional disclosures in our consolidated financial statements and plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation disclosures. Additionally, income taxes paid are required to be disaggregated by jurisdiction, along with other amendments to enhance the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and upon adoption, the guidance can be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. We expect that this new guidance will result in additional disclosures in our consolidated financial statements and plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards." ASU 2024-01 provides clarification for determining whether a profits interest award should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement or other compensation. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and upon adoption, the guidance can be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. We expect that this new guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date.

Note 4. Segment Information

Redwood operates in three segments: Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking, Residential Investor Mortgage Banking and Investment Portfolio. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. For a full description of our segments, see Part I, Item 1—Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the normal course of business, loans are originated and acquired at our mortgage banking segments and may subsequently be transferred to our investment portfolio segment either as whole loans or through the retention of securities from securitizations we sponsor and consolidate under GAAP. All of our loans are accounted for under the fair value option and amounts transferred between segments are accounted for at fair value at the time of transfer.

Segment contribution represents the measure of profit that management uses to assess the performance of our business segments and make resource allocation and operating decisions. Certain corporate expenses not directly assigned or allocated to one of our three segments are included in the Corporate/Other column as reconciling items to our consolidated financial statements. These unallocated corporate expenses primarily include interest expense for our convertible notes and trust preferred securities (and in 2024 and 2023, realized gains from the repurchase of convertible notes), indirect general and administrative expenses and other expenses.

The following tables present financial information by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For financial reporting purposes, we follow a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. 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 for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., our own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

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. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

Determination of Fair Value

Included in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 is a more detailed description of our financial instruments measured at fair value and their significant inputs, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 valuation hierarchy. At June 30, 2024, our valuation policy and processes had not changed from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain of our Other investments (inclusive of strategic investments in early-stage companies) are Level 3 financial instruments that we account for under the fair value option. These investments generally take the form of equity or debt with conversion features and do not have readily determinable fair values. We initially record these investments at cost and adjust their fair value based on observable price changes, such as follow-on capital raises by these companies or secondary sales of these, or similar, equity or debt instruments, and will also evaluate impacts to valuation from changing market conditions and underlying business performance. As of June 30, 2024, the carrying value of these investments was $3 million. See Note 12 for further discussion on Other Investments.

(1)The weighted average input values for all loan types are based on unpaid principal balance. The weighted average input values for all other assets and liabilities are based on relative fair value.

(2)Values represent pricing inputs used in securitization pricing model. Credit spreads represent spreads to applicable swap rates unless specified otherwise.

(3)The fair value of the loans and HEI held by consolidated entities is based on the fair value of the ABS issued by these entities and the securities and other investments we own in those entities, which we determined were more readily observable in accordance with accounting guidance for collateralized financing entities. At June 30, 2024, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL Term, CAFL Bridge (under CFE), Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities was $264 million, $337 million, $25 million, $258 million, $34 million, and $41 million, respectively. CAFL Bridge only includes the one securitization entity for which we made the CFE election.

(4)Represents the estimated average duration of outstanding servicer advances at a given point in time (not taking into account new advances made with respect to the pool).

(5)Fair value presented in this line item for ABS issued at consolidated HEI entities does not include non-controlling interests in our HEI entities, which we account for separately as liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and carry at fair value. However, given the HEI non-controlling interests are priced using the same model and inputs, the unobservable inputs and input values provided in this section include those for the HEI non-controlling interests.

(1)These liabilities are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we elected the fair value option for $16 million and $64 million of securities, respectively, $1.87 billion and $2.87 billion (principal balance) of residential consumer loans, respectively, and $452 million and $779 million (principal balance) of residential investor loans, respectively. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we elected the fair value option for $0.3 million and $0.6 million of HEI, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we elected the fair value option for $9 thousand and $0.2 million, respectively, of Other investments.

Nonrecurring Fair Values

We measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the write-down of asset value due to impairment. Refer to Note 14 for further information on our Real estate owned ("REO").

(3) Includes loans for light to moderate renovation of residential and small multifamily properties (generally less than 20 units).

(4) Includes loans for predominantly light to moderate rehabilitation projects on multifamily properties.

Loan Modifications

We may amend or modify a loan depending on the loan's specific facts and circumstances. These loan modifications typically include amendments and restructuring and include terms such as additional time for the borrower to refinance or sell the collateral property, interest rate reductions and/or deferral of scheduled principal and/or interest payments. In some instances, a loan amendment or restructuring may bring the loan out of delinquent status. In exchange for a modification, we may receive a partial repayment of principal, a short-term accrual of capitalized interest for a portion of interest due, a capital infusion to replenish interest or capital improvement reserves and/or termination of all or a portion of the remaining unfunded loan commitment.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we modified residential investor loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $379 million and $429 million, respectively, with an aggregate fair value of $369 million and $417 million, respectively. At the time of modification, the weighted average length of time these loans were past due was under three months for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Of the modified loans for the three months ending June 30, 2024, $43 million included loans in forbearance without a rate reduction and $335 million included reductions in interest rates (including, in certain cases, deferrals of interest), among other terms, and in certain cases, combined with infusions of fresh capital from either the existing sponsor or new sources. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the average length of maturity extensions granted on residential investor bridge loans was just under five months and seven months, respectively.

Nonaccrual Loans

Interest income is accrued on loans in the period the coupon interest is contractually earned until such time a loan is placed on non-accrual status.

REDWOOD TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

Note 8. Residential Investor Loans - (continued)

A loan is placed on non-accrual status when it is probable that all principal and interest due under the contractual terms will not be collected and a loan is past due more than 90 days. Income from non-accrual loans is generally recognized on a cash basis when it is received. At the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income and interest subsequently collected is recognized on a cash basis to the extent the loan balance is deemed collectible or until such time the loan qualifies to be placed back on accrual status.

Generally, a loan is placed back on accrual status when the loan becomes contractually current or the collection of past due and future payments is reasonably assured either through reinstatement by the borrower, estimated net equity in the underlying real estate property or both.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, residential investor loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $324 million and $340 million, respectively, and an aggregate fair value of $290 million and $312 million, respectively, were on non-accrual status. Of this balance, loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $204 million and $207 million were less than 90 days past due (including loans that were contractually current) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Our real estate securities include mortgage-backed securities, which are presented in accordance with their general position within a securitization structure based on their rights to cash flows. Senior securities are those interests in a securitization that generally have the first right to cash flows and are last in line to absorb losses. Mezzanine securities are interests that are generally subordinate to senior securities in their rights to receive cash flows, and have subordinate securities below them that are first to absorb losses. Subordinate securities are all interests below mezzanine. Nearly all of our residential securities are supported by collateral that was designated as prime at the time of issuance.

At June 30, 2024, we had $26 million of AFS securities with contractual maturities less than five years, $4 million with contractual maturities greater than five years but less than ten years, and the remainder of our AFS securities had contractual maturities greater than ten years.

We often purchase AFS securities at a discount to their outstanding principal balances. To the extent we purchase an AFS security that has a likelihood of incurring a loss, we do not amortize into income the portion of the purchase discount that we do not expect to collect due to the inherent credit risk of the security. We may also expense a portion of our investment in the security to the extent we believe that principal losses will exceed the purchase discount. We designate any amount of unpaid principal balance that we do not expect to receive and thus do not expect to earn or recover as a credit reserve on the security. Any remaining net unamortized discounts or premiums on the security are amortized into income over time using the effective yield method.

AFS Securities with Unrealized Losses

The following table presents the total carrying value (fair value) and unrealized losses of residential AFS securities that were in a gross unrealized loss position at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

At June 30, 2024, after giving effect to purchases, sales, and extinguishment due to credit losses, our consolidated balance sheets included 76 AFS securities, of which 16 were in an unrealized loss position and 12 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer. At December 31, 2023, our consolidated balance sheets included 66 AFS securities, of which 21 were in an unrealized loss position and 19 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer.

Evaluating AFS Securities for Credit Losses

Gross unrealized losses on our AFS securities were $5 million at June 30, 2024. We evaluate all securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is credit-related (resulting in an allowance for credit losses recorded in earnings) or non-credit-related (resulting in an unrealized loss through other comprehensive income). At June 30, 2024, we did not intend to sell any of our AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at their maturity. We review our AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position to identify those securities with losses based on an assessment of changes in expected cash flows for such securities, which considers recent security performance and expected future performance of the underlying collateral.

At June 30, 2024, our current expected credit loss ("CECL") allowance related to our AFS securities was $1 million. AFS securities for which an allowance is recognized have experienced, or are expected to experience, adverse cash flow changes. In determining our estimate of cash flows for AFS securities we may consider factors such as structural credit enhancement, past and expected future performance of underlying mortgage loans, including timing of expected future cash flows, which are informed by prepayment rates, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing loans, FICO scores at loan origination, year of origination, loan-to-value ratios, and geographic concentrations, as well as general market assessments. Changes in our evaluation of these factors impacted the cash flows expected to be collected at the assessment date and were used to determine if there were credit-related adverse cash flows and if so, the amount of credit-related losses. Significant judgment is used in both our analysis of the expected cash flows for our AFS securities and any determination of security credit losses.

The table below summarizes the weighted average of the significant credit quality indicators we used for the credit loss allowance on our AFS securities at June 30, 2024.

Note 11. Home Equity Investments (HEI)

We invest in HEI contracts from third party originators and in the third quarter of 2023, we began to originate HEI directly. Each HEI provides the owner of such HEI the right to purchase a percentage ownership interest in an associated residential property, and the homeowner's obligations under the HEI are secured by a lien (primarily second liens) on the property created by recording a security instrument (e.g., deed of trust) with respect to the property. Our investments in HEI expose us to both home price appreciation and depreciation of the associated property.

At June 30, 2024, we co-sponsored two HEI securitization entities that we consolidated in accordance with GAAP, and have elected to account for them under the CFE election. As such, market valuation changes for the securitized HEI are based on the estimated fair value of the associated ABS issued by the entity, including the interest we own, and are reported in HEI income, net on our Consolidated statements of income.

The following table presents our HEI at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

We invest in mortgage servicing rights associated with residential mortgage loans and contract with licensed sub-servicers to perform all servicing functions for these loans. The majority of our investments in MSRs were made through the retention of servicing rights associated with the residential jumbo mortgage loans that we acquired and subsequently sold to third parties or to unconsolidated Sequoia securitization entities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we retained MSRs associated with loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1 million and $10 million from sales of residential loans to third parties. We hold our MSR investments at our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

We account for our MSRs at fair value. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our MSRs had a fair value of $29 million and $25 million, respectively, and were associated with loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1.95 billion and $2.03 billion, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, including net market valuation gains and losses on our MSRs, we recorded net income related to our MSRs of $4 million and $8 million, respectively, through Other income on our consolidated statements of income.

Strategic Investments

Strategic investments represent investments we made in companies either through our RWT Horizons venture investment platform or separately at a corporate level. At June 30, 2024, we had made a total of 39 investments in companies through RWT Horizons with a total carrying value of $22 million, as well as eight corporate-level investments with a total carrying value of $37 million. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized net market valuation losses of $1 million on our strategic investments through Investment fair value changes, net in our consolidated statements of income.

In the second quarter of 2023, we established a joint venture with Oaktree Capital Management to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. At June 30, 2024, the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture was $6 million. We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting as we have a 20% non-controlling interest, but are deemed to be able to exert significant influence over the affairs of the joint venture. We adjust the carrying value of our equity method investment for our share of earnings or losses, dividends or return of capital on a quarterly basis. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized net equity method earnings of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, through Other income, net in our consolidated statements of income.

In the first quarter of 2024, we established a joint venture with CPP Investments to invest in residential investor bridge and term loans originated by us. In June 2024, we made an investment in the joint venture of $1 million. We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting as we have a minority non-controlling interest approximating 20% across both Redwood's direct equity capital contribution to joint venture entities and joint venture co-investments to be held in Redwood's investment portfolio, but we are deemed to be able to exert significant influence over the affairs of the joint venture. We adjust the carrying value of our equity method investment for our share of earnings or losses, dividends or return of capital on a quarterly basis.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

For interest rate agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $66 million and $68 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We are amortizing this loss into interest expense over the remaining term of our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes. For both of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we reclassified $1 million and $2 million, respectively, of realized net losses from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Interest expense. As of June 30, 2024, we expect to amortize $4 million of realized losses related to terminated cash flow hedges into interest expense over the next twelve months.

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we consider counterparty risk as part of our fair value assessments of all derivative financial instruments at each quarter-end. At June 30, 2024, we assessed this risk as remote and did not record an associated specific valuation adjustment. At June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with our derivative counterparty ISDA agreements.

Balance Sheet Netting

Certain of our derivatives and debt obligations are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. Under GAAP, in certain circumstances we may elect to present certain financial assets, liabilities and related collateral subject to master netting arrangements in a net position on our balance sheets. However, we do not elect to report any of these financial assets or liabilities on a net basis, and instead present them on a gross basis on our consolidated balance sheets.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

On July 1, 2022, we acquired Riverbend Funding LLC ("Riverbend"), a private mortgage lender to residential transitional and commercial real estate investors. Refer to Note 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information regarding this acquisition, including purchase price allocations. Additionally, in 2019 we acquired 5 Arches and CoreVest, originators of residential investor loans. In connection with these acquisitions, we identified and recorded finite-lived intangible assets totaling $95 million. Intangible Assets are included in Other Assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The table below presents the amortization period and carrying value of our intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization at June 30, 2024.

All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded intangible asset amortization expense of $5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded intangible asset amortization expense of $6 million. Estimated future amortization expense is summarized in the table below.

2027	1,571
2028 and thereafter	2,357
Total Future Intangible Asset Amortization	$	23,454

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators and additionally evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets to determine if revisions to the remaining periods of amortization are warranted. We reviewed our finite-lived intangible assets and determined that the estimated lives were appropriate and that there were no indicators of impairment at June 30, 2024.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. We have elected to make the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter as the annual impairment assessment date for goodwill. We recorded total goodwill of $23 million as a result of the total consideration exceeding the fair value of the net assets acquired from Riverbend. For reporting purposes, we included the intangible assets and goodwill from the Riverbend acquisition within our Residential Investor Mortgage Banking segment. There were no changes to the balance of goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Payable to Non-Controlling Interests

Redwood and a third-party co-investor, through two partnership entities consolidated by Redwood, purchased servicer advances and excess MSRs related to a portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced by the co-investor (see Note 12 and Note 15 for additional information on the partnership entities and associated investments). We account for the co-investor’s interests in the entities as liabilities, and at June 30, 2024, the carrying value of their interests was $25 million, representing their current economic interest in the entities. Earnings from the partnership entities are allocated to the co-investors on a proportional basis and during the three and six

months ended June 30, 2024, we allocated $3 million and $4 million of income to the co-investors, respectively, recorded in Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income.

Additionally, Redwood and a third-party investor co-sponsored the transfer and securitization of HEI through two HEI securitization entities. Other third-party investors contributed HEI into these securitizations through Redwood and retained subordinate beneficial interests issued by the securitization entities alongside Redwood. See Note 11 for a further discussion of the HEI securitization. We account for the co-investors' interests in the HEI securitization entities as liabilities, and at June 30, 2024, the carrying value of their interests was $72 million, representing the fair value of their economic interests in the beneficial interests issued by the HEI entities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the investors' share of earnings, net from their retained interests was $7 million and $13 million, respectively, recorded through HEI income, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Note 15. Principles of Consolidation

In the normal course of business, we enter into certain types of transactions with entities that are considered to be VIEs. The Company's primary involvement with VIEs has been related to its securitization transactions in which it transfers assets to securitization vehicles. We primarily securitize our acquired and originated loans, which provides a source of funding and has enabled us to transfer a certain portion of economic risk on loans or related debt securities to third parties. The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE.

The GAAP principles we apply require us to reassess our requirement to consolidate VIEs each quarter and therefore our determination may change based upon new facts and circumstances pertaining to each VIE. This could result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements during subsequent reporting periods.

Analysis of Consolidated VIEs

We currently consolidate the assets and liabilities of variable interests in certain securitization vehicles in which we are the primary beneficiary. These include certain legacy Sequoia securitization entities issued prior to 2012, certain entities formed during and after 2012 in connection with the securitization of Redwood Select prime loans and Redwood Choice expanded-prime loans (all together referred to as "Sequoia"), entities formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest residential investor term and bridge loans ("CAFL") and entities formed in connection with the securitization of HEI. We also consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-series and Freddie Mac Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction ("SLST") securitizations (and re-securitization of such SLST securities) in which we have invested. Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood Trust Inc. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained, although for certain entities we are exposed to financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor or co-sponsor, servicing administrator, collateral administrator, or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.

We also consolidate two Servicing Investment entities formed to invest in servicing-related assets that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At June 30, 2024, we held an 80% ownership interest in, and were responsible for the management of, each entity. See Note 12 for a further description of these entities and the investments they hold and Note 14 for additional information on the minority partner’s non-controlling interest. Additionally, we consolidated an entity that was formed to finance servicer advances that we determined was a VIE and for which we, through our control of one of the aforementioned partnerships, were the primary beneficiary. The servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, secured by servicer advances. We consolidate the securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. See Note 17 for additional information on the servicer advance financing.

During the fourth quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2021, we co-sponsored two HEI securitization transactions, and we consolidate the respective HEI securitization entities that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we owned a portion of the subordinate certificates issued by these entities and had certain decision-making rights for the entities. See Note 11 for a further description of these entities and the investments it holds and Note 14 for additional information on non-controlling interests in these entities. We consolidate these HEI securitization entities, but the securitization entities are independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood.

Note 15. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we re-securitized subordinate securities we owned in our consolidated Freddie Mac SLST securitization trusts through the transfer of these financial assets to a re-securitization trust that we sponsored. We retain a subordinate investment in the re-securitization trust and maintain certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the entity, as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and the right to receive benefits of, and the obligation to absorb losses from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

For certain of our consolidated VIEs, we have elected to account for the assets and liabilities of these entities as collateralized financing entities ("CFE"). A CFE is a variable interest entity that holds financial assets and issues beneficial interests in those assets, and these beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. Accounting guidance for CFEs allows companies to elect to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of a CFE using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets or fair value of the financial liabilities. The net equity in an entity accounted for under the CFE election effectively represents the fair value of the beneficial interests we own in the entity.

In addition to our consolidated VIEs for which we made the CFE election, we consolidate certain VIEs for which we did not make the CFE election and elected to account for the ABS issued by these entities at amortized cost. These include two CAFL bridge loan securitizations and the Freddie Mac SLST re-securitization.

The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs.

(1)The value of our investments in VIEs, as presented in this table, generally represents the fair value of the economic interests we own in VIEs (i.e., the securities or other interests we legally own in the consolidated securitizations or other VIEs). While most of our VIEs are accounted for under the CFE election (whereby the net equity in the VIE generally represents the fair value of our retained interests and associated accrued interest receivable), certain entities, including two CAFL bridge loan securitizations (included within the CAFL column), our SLST re-securitization (included within the Freddie Mac SLST column), and our Servicing Investment VIEs are not accounted for under the CFE election and their associated ABS issued are accounted for at amortized historical cost. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our interests in the CAFL term loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $337 million and $323 million, respectively, and the fair value of our interest in the CAFL bridge loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election was $25 million and $22 million, respectively, with the difference from the tables above generally representing ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost and accrued interest on our economic interests. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our interests in the Freddie Mac SLST securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $258 million and $274 million, respectively, with the difference from the tables above representing ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost.

Analysis of Unconsolidated VIEs with Continuing Involvement

Since 2012, we have transferred residential consumer loans to 46 Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of June 30, 2024, and accounted for these transfers as sales for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP. We also determined we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we lacked the power to direct the activities that will have the most significant economic impact on the entities. For certain of these transfers to securitization entities, for the transferred loans where we held the servicing rights prior to the transfer and continued to hold the servicing rights following the transfer, we recorded mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") on our consolidated balance sheets and classified those MSRs as Level 3 assets. We also retained senior and subordinate securities in these securitizations that we classified as Level 3 assets. Our continuing involvement in these securitizations is limited to customary servicing obligations associated with retaining servicing rights (which we retain a third-party sub-servicers to perform) and the receipt of interest income associated with the securities we retained.

(1)Maximum loss exposure from our involvement with unconsolidated VIEs pertains to the carrying value of our securities and MSRs retained from these VIEs and represents estimated losses that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances, such as if the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero. This does not include, for example, any potential exposure to representation and warranty claims associated with our initial transfer of loans into a securitization.

Our assessments of whether we are required to consolidate a VIE may change in subsequent reporting periods based upon changing facts and circumstances pertaining to each VIE. Any related accounting changes could result in a material impact to our financial statements.

Note 16. Asset-Backed Securities Issued - (continued)

The actual maturity of each class of ABS issued is primarily determined by the rate of principal prepayments on the assets of the issuing entity. Each series is also subject to redemption prior to the stated maturity according to the terms of the respective governing documents of each ABS issuing entity. As a result, the actual maturity of ABS issued may occur earlier than the stated maturity. At June 30, 2024, the majority of the ABS issued and outstanding had contractual maturities beyond five years. See Note 15 for detail on the carrying value components of the collateral for ABS issued and outstanding.

Facilities and Other Financing

We use debt financing obtained through several different types of borrowing facilities to, among other things, finance the acquisition and/or origination of residential consumer and residential investor mortgage loans (including those we acquire or originate in anticipation of sale or securitization), and finance investments in securities and other investments. At June 30, 2024, Redwood and or its subsidiaries have entered into eight short-term warehouse facilities to finance our residential consumer loans, MSRs and unsecuritized HEIs totaling $1.85 billion of total capacity, and seven residential investor loan facilities totaling $2.53 billion of total capacity to finance our residential investor loans.

Servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt used to finance servicer advance investments. We consolidate the securitization entity that issued the debt, but the entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood.

At June 30, 2024, a subsidiary of Redwood had a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent) recourse debt financing of certain Sequoia securities as well as securities retained from our consolidated Sequoia securitizations. The financing was fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Redwood, and had an interest rate of approximately 4.21% through September 2022, 5.71% from October 2022 through September 2023, and 7.21% from October 2023 through final maturity in September 2024. In July 2024, this repurchase facility was refinanced into a new, non-recourse resecuritization, with a principal balance of $205 million, a blended interest rate of 8.5%, and a final stated maturity date of December 2054. The collateral for the July 2024 resecuritization includes Sequoia securities that had been financed with our recourse subordinate securities financing, Sequoia securities financed through other facilities or previously unfinanced Sequoia securities.

In 2020, a subsidiary of Redwood entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable recourse debt financing of certain securities retained from our consolidated CAFL securitizations. The financing is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Redwood, with an interest rate of approximately 4.21% through February 2023, increasing to 5.71% from March 2023 through February 2024, and to 7.21% from March 2024 through February 2025. The financing facility may be terminated at our option, beginning in February 2023, and has a final maturity in February 2025.

In 2021, a subsidiary of Redwood entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable recourse debt financing of certain securities retained from our consolidated CAFL securitizations. The financing is guaranteed by Redwood, with an interest rate of approximately 4.75% through June 2024, increasing to 6.25% from July 2024 through June 2025, and to 7.75% from July 2025 to June 2026. The financing facility may be terminated at our option, beginning in June 2023, and has a final maturity in June 2026.

Corporate Debt

We use corporate debt obligations to fund other aspects of our business and operations, including the repurchase of shares of our capital stock.

In connection with our acquisition of Riverbend, we assumed promissory notes that are payable on demand with a 90-day notice from the lender or which may be repaid by us with a 90-day notice. These unsecured, non-marginable, recourse notes were issued in three separate series with fixed interest rates between 6% and 8%.

In March 2024, we entered into a corporate secured revolving financing facility with CPP Investments to provide non-marginable recourse debt financing secured by previously unencumbered assets, such as retained Residential Consumer and Residential Investor subordinate securities and other investments, as well as equity in certain operating subsidiaries. At June 30, 2024, this facility had a capacity of $250 million and a two-year term, with a one-year extension option.

In January 2024, Redwood issued $60 million of 9.125% Senior Notes due in 2029. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Redwood and bear interest at a rate equal to 9.125% per year, payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2024. The Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2029. We may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2026 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In June 2024, Redwood issued $85 million of 9.0% Senior Notes due in 2029. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Redwood and bear interest at a rate equal to 9.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2024. The Senior Notes mature on September 1, 2029. We may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 1, 2026 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased $9 million and $36 million par value, respectively, of our 5.625% convertible senior notes and we repaid these notes in full in July 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased $4 million par value of our 7.75% convertible senior notes at a discount and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $0.1 million in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

At June 30, 2024, we were obligated under eight non-cancelable operating leases with expiration dates through 2031 for $14 million of cumulative lease payments. For the six-months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our operating lease expense was $2 million and $3 million, respectively.

The following table presents our future lease commitments at June 30, 2024.

Table 18.1 – Future Lease Commitments by Year


(In Thousands)	June 30, 2024
2024 (6 months)	$	2,224
2025	3,687
2026	3,520
2027	2,588
2028	1,122
2029 and thereafter	869
Total Lease Commitments	14,010
Less: Imputed interest	(1,354)
Operating Lease Liabilities	$	12,656

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not enter into any new office leases with a lease term of greater than one year. At June 30, 2024, our operating lease liabilities were $13 million, which were a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities, and our operating lease right-of-use assets were $11 million, which were a component of Other assets.

We determined that none of our leases contained an implicit interest rate and used a discount rate equal to our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis to determine the present value of our total lease payments. As such, we determined the applicable discount rate for each of our leases using a swap rate plus an applicable spread for borrowing arrangements secured by our real estate loans and securities for a length of time equal to the remaining lease term on the lease commencement date. At June 30, 2024, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our leases was 4 years and 5.3%, respectively.

Commitment to Fund Residential Investor Bridge Loans

As of June 30, 2024, we had commitments to fund up to $448 million of additional advances on existing residential investor bridge loans. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the borrower and other terms regarding advances that must be met before we fund the commitment. At June 30, 2024, we carried a $2 million contingent liability related to these commitments to fund construction advances. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a net market valuation expense of $0.4 million of $1 million, respectively, related to this liability through Mortgage banking activities and Investment of fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Commitment to Fund Joint Ventures

In the first quarter of 2024, we entered into a joint venture with CPP Investments pursuant to which we will offer to sell certain residential investor bridge and term loans we originate into joint venture entities that meet specified criteria at contractually pre-established prices. We have committed approximately $100 million of equity capital to be allocated to the joint venture entities and joint venture co-investments to be held in Redwood's investment portfolio. At June 30, 2024, we had contributed $1 million of capital to the joint venture.

In the second quarter of 2023, we entered into a joint venture with Oaktree to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. We have a commitment to contribute up to approximately $19 million to the joint venture to fund the joint venture's purchase of residential investor bridge loans, under the updated terms of the joint venture. At June 30, 2024, we had contributed $5 million of capital to the joint venture.

For additional information related to our commitments and contingencies, see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Loss Contingencies — Repurchase Reserves

We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential consumer and residential investor loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties and for conforming residential consumer loans associated with MSRs that we have purchased from third parties. We do not originate residential consumer loans and we believe the initial risk of loss due to loan repurchases (i.e., due to a breach of representations and warranties) would generally be a contingency to the companies from whom we acquired the loans. However, in some cases, for example, where loans were acquired from companies that have since become insolvent, repurchase claims may result in our being liable for a repurchase obligation.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our repurchase reserve associated with our residential consumer loans and MSRs was $3 million and $5 million, respectively, and was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we received two and one repurchase request, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 we repurchased two and five loans, respectively. During both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded reversals of repurchase provision expenses of $1 million, in Mortgage banking activities, net, on our consolidated statements of income.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our repurchase reserve associated with residential investor loans sold to third-parties was $0.2 million and zero, respectively, and was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we received ten and three repurchase requests, respectively, for residential investor loans sold to third parties, and repurchased one and twelve residential investor loans, respectively, that had been sold to third parties. At June 30, 2024, two open repurchase requests were outstanding for residential investor loans sold to third parties.

Loss Contingencies — Litigation, Claims and Demands

There is no significant update regarding the litigation matters described in Note 17 within the financial statements included in Redwood’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Loss Contingencies - Litigation, Claims and Demands.”

Issuance of Common Stock

We have an established program to sell common stock from time to time in at-the-market ("ATM") offerings. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not issue any shares of common stock under this program. At June 30, 2024, the remaining share issuance capacity under this program was approximately $50 million.

Preferred Stock

In January 2023, Redwood issued 2.8 million shares of 10.00% Series A Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") for gross proceeds of $70 million and net proceeds of approximately $67 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated expenses. The Series A Preferred Stock pays quarterly cumulative cash dividends through January 15, 2028 at a fixed annual rate of 10%, based on the stated liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, in arrears, when authorized by Redwood's Board of Directors and declared by the Company. Starting April 15, 2028, the annual dividend rate will reset to the five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus a spread of 6.278%. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to Redwood's common stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or

At June 30, 2024, preferred dividends payable totaling $1 million for the second quarter 2024 dividend were included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities and were payable on July 15, 2024 to preferred stockholders of record on July 1, 2024.

Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we did not not issue any shares of common stock through our Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. At June 30, 2024, approximately six million shares remained outstanding for future offerings under this plan.

Common Stock Warrants

In conjunction with establishing the joint venture with CPP Investments in March 2024, we issued warrants exercisable for 1,974,905 shares of our common stock (the “First Tranche Warrants”); and (ii) warrants exercisable for 4,608,112 shares of our common stock (the “Second Tranche Warrants” and together with the First Tranche Warrants, the “Warrants”). The First Tranche Warrants are exercisable from March 18, 2025 to March 18, 2029. The Second Tranche Warrants will vest upon achievement of specified deployment thresholds related to our joint venture with CPP Investments and, if vested, will be exercisable from the date the Second Tranche Warrants vest to March 18, 2029. The initial strike price of the Warrants is $7.76. The Warrants also contain a mandatory exercise provision, exercisable at Redwood’s option upon satisfaction of specified conditions, including the trading price of Redwood’s common stock exceeding a specified premium to the exercise price. Exercises of any Warrants will be settled on a net basis.

The Warrants met the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and are recorded as a component of Additional paid-in-capital in Equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Warrants were valued at $0.8 million on the issuance date and are not subject to subsequent remeasurement. See Note 20 for discussion on the impact of the Warrants on earnings per common share.

Diluted Earnings per Common Share	$	0.10	$	—	$	0.31	$	0.02

We included participating securities, which are certain equity awards that have non-forfeitable dividend participation rights, in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share as we determined that the two-class method was more dilutive than the alternative treasury stock method for these shares. Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities under the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations require specific shares to be included that may differ in certain circumstances.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, none of our convertible notes were determined to be dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS under the "if-converted" method. Under this method, for convertible and exchangeable notes due in 2024 and 2025, the periodic interest expense (net of applicable taxes) for dilutive notes is added back to the numerator and the weighted average number of shares that the notes are entitled to (if converted, regardless of whether they are in or out of the money) are included in the denominator. For convertible notes due in 2027, if the potential conversion of the debt is dilutive, then the number of shares needed to settle the conversion premium are added to the shares outstanding used to calculate dilutive EPS.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, none of our Warrants were determined to be dilutive to our calculation of dilutive earnings per common share. The warrants would have a dilutive effect on earnings per common share to the extent that the Warrants are vested and exercisable, and the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 34,537,361 and 35,105,457 of common shares, respectively, related to the assumed conversion of our convertible notes, were antidilutive and were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 44,712,499 and 45,509,857 of common shares, respectively, related to the assumed conversion of our convertible notes, were antidilutive and were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the number of outstanding equity awards that were antidilutive totaled 20,376 and 42,537 common shares, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the number of outstanding equity awards that were antidilutive totaled 27,408 and 55,882 common shares, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

We generally grant RSUs annually, as part of our compensation process. In addition, RSUs are granted from time to time in connection with hiring and promotions. RSUs generally vest over the course of a four-year vesting period, and are distributed annually, at the end of each vesting period.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 791,439 and 593,570 RSUs outstanding, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we granted 542,719 RSUs, distributed 271,010 RSUs, and 73,840 RSUs were forfeited due to employee termination. Unvested RSUs at June 30, 2024 vest through 2028.

Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”)

We generally grant DSUs annually, as part of our compensation process. In addition, DSUs are granted from time to time in connection with hiring and promotions and in lieu of the payment in cash of a portion of annual bonus earned. DSUs generally vest over the course of a four-year vesting period, and are distributed after the end of the final vesting period or after an employee is terminated.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 5,576,627 and 4,821,172 DSUs outstanding, respectively, of which 2,603,607 and 2,284,480, respectively, had vested. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we granted 1,245,295 DSUs, distributed 378,125 DSUs and 111,715 DSUs were forfeited due to employee termination. Unvested DSUs at June 30, 2024 vest through 2028.

Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”)

We generally grant PSUs annually, as part of our compensation process. PSUs generally have performance-based vesting over the course of a three-year vesting/performance period, and, subject to meeting certain performance criteria, will vest and be distributed after the end of the vesting period.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the target number of PSUs that were unvested was 2,598,194 and 3,072,039, respectively. Vesting for PSUs generally occurs approximately three years from their respective grant dates based on various total shareholder return performance calculations, as discussed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

(Unaudited)

Note 23. Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized a provision for income taxes of $5 million and benefit from income taxes of $1 million, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal and state tax rates to our effective tax rate at June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Table 23.1 – Reconciliation of Statutory Tax Rate to Effective Tax Rate


	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Federal statutory rate	21.0	%	21.0	%
State taxes, net of Federal tax effect, as applicable	1.9	%	(0.2)	%
Differences in taxable income (loss) from GAAP income	0.3	%	(4.9)	%
Change in valuation allowance	—	%	—	%
REIT GAAP income or loss not subject to federal income tax	(12.6)	%	(32.3)	%
Effective Tax Rate	10.6	%	(16.4)	%

We assessed our tax positions for all open tax years (i.e., Federal, 2020 to 2024, and State, 2019 to 2024) at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and concluded that we had no uncertain tax positions that resulted in material unrecognized tax benefits.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company has a valuation allowance of $117 million for certain state deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to analyze the realizability of deferred tax assets. After evaluating these sources of taxable income, and considering the jurisdiction and character of the deferred tax assets, the Company continues to recognize its federal and certain state deferred tax assets of $40 million at June 30, 2024, as it believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

OVERVIEW

Business Update

The second quarter of 2024 brought improved efficiency metrics across our segments, as we grew profitability driven by strong volumes and a reduction in fixed costs. Book value generally remained stable at $8.73 per share and we delivered total economic return of 1.3% for the second quarter, inclusive of our $0.16 per share dividend.

One area of focus continues to be deepening our relationships with loan sellers who are banks — and our recent activity with banks illustrates the core asset/liability challenges these institutions face when funding fixed rate mortgages with deposits. Recent commentary from the Federal Reserve also suggests that a re-proposal of the Basel III “endgame” bank capital regulations is forthcoming. Whatever the final form, we believe the Basel rules will inevitably impact the bank capital regime holistically, and further evolve how banks serve their residential mortgage customers in a capital and duration efficient manner. We anticipate that under the new regulatory regime, many banks will also have to manage overall balance sheet size, creating a new addressable market for us from the $1.3 trillion of residential jumbo mortgage loans currently owned by depositories, a development we have long predicted. To wit, approximately 35% of our second quarter bank lock volume was on seasoned portfolios, signaling the start of a durable opportunity that can complement our on-the-run flow business.

As rates continue to impact overall housing activity, these dynamics are driving our Residential Consumer market share higher. Lock volume with banks – a group which now account over half of our 203 sellers – grew 80% from the first quarter of 2024 on strong bulk and flow volume. We are now actively engaged with 60% of the top 50 jumbo originators overall – a significant change in our traditional reach – and our current estimated second quarter market share of 6% was itself a substantial increase from prior quarters.

Secondary financing products also remained in focus during the second quarter, as we gained momentum in purchasing closed end second lien (“CES”) loans and directly originating home equity investments (“HEI”). Untapped home equity in the U.S. continues to grow and grabbed recent headlines with Freddie Mac’s (“Freddie”) preliminary entry into purchasing CES. This development adds credence to the need for more institutional structure around home equity products, an area of competitive advantage for a platform of our tenure. While we remain measured in our HEI rollout awaiting the interest rate cycle to turn, we believe Freddie’s provisional approval creates a refreshed window to use our broadened capital base to support the GSEs in their core missions.

Demand from private credit institutions also drove a strong operating quarter for our Residential Investor segment, which delivered its highest return since the end of 2021. We funded $459 million of Investor loans, up 41% from the first quarter of 2024 with a near even split between term and bridge loans, important progress in our production mix as term loan fundings rose 91% quarter over quarter. Our joint ventures with Oaktree Capital Management and CPP Investments spoke for most of our second quarter 2024 production and were further complemented by an accretive sale of approximately $240 million in term loans to a top-tier insurance-backed buyer. We believe that deeper inroads with new loan buyers, combined with further portfolio growth within our joint ventures, will help evolve the platform’s revenues towards recurring and predictable fee streams, facilitating scale with less direct capital usage through time.

While credit performance in our broader Residential Investor portfolio remains stable overall, workout activity persisted on the legacy multifamily bridge portfolio, a product we largely discontinued originating in the summer of 2022. At June 30, 2024, that portfolio comprised less than 15% of our overall capital base and ran off approximately 10% during the second quarter of 2024. Through the process of stabilizing this portfolio, we have continued to incur incidental workout costs as our asset management team makes progress towards productive resolutions. Given the pace of paydowns and workout activity, we expect the portfolio to continue factoring down in the next two to three quarters, with moderating interest rates potentially accelerating payoff and refinance activity.

Fundamentals on Redwood’s overall $3.4 billion investment portfolio continue to perform well, exceeding our modeled expectations. As interest rates stabilize, and potentially begin to come down, we believe the book values of our long-term fixed-rate investments stand to directly benefit. With the overall portfolio still carried at an aggregate $2.18 per common share net discount, this represents a key source of earnings upside that in recent quarters has been hard to unlock.

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we are preparing for unexpected challenges – particularly in light of a rapidly evolving Presidential election cycle. But in terms of controlling the controllable, we remain pleased with our market positioning and will continue to execute on our strategic goals. Though interest rates have been stubbornly high, a data-driven Federal Reserve now has increasing evidence to commence a more accommodative monetary policy. Our operating advantages are designed to be durable and we believe the turn in this cycle can have an important boomerang effect across our business lines.

Footnotes to Second Quarter Business Highlights

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

1.Lock volume represents loans identified for purchase from loan sellers. Lock volume does not account for potential fallout from pipeline that typically occurs through the lending process.

2.Re-performing loan ("RPL") and jumbo securities delinquency rate calculations are weighted by notional balances of loans collateralizing each of our securities investments. Bridge loan and CAFL securities delinquency rates are calculated as BPL term loans in our consolidated CAFL securitizations, loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held for sale with a delinquent payment greater than 90 days, divided by the total notional balance of loans in consolidated CAFL securitizations, loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held for sale. Bridge loan delinquency rate calculations were updated in Q2'24 to include full UPB values for loans in joint ventures (prior period presented was conformed to updated calculation methodology).

3.Secured recourse leverage ratio for our Investment Portfolio is defined as secured recourse debt financing our investment portfolio assets divided by capital allocated to our investment portfolio.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Within this Results of Operations section, we provide commentary that compares results year-over-year for 2024 and 2023. Most tables include a "change" column that shows the amount by which the results from 2024 are greater or less than the results from the respective period in 2023. Unless otherwise specified, references in this section to increases or decreases during the "three-month periods" refer to the change in results for the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased by $1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and $3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. During the three and six-month periods, net interest income from our Investment Portfolio decreased, partially offset by an increase in net interest income from our Mortgage Banking operations in the same periods. The decrease in net interest income from our Investment Portfolio is primarily related to an increase in borrowing costs on debt facilities and ABS issued used to finance our investments within this segment. Furthermore, the increase in non-accrual loans and loans that were modified over the period to provide borrowers payment relief resulted in lower coupon income over the period. Net interest income from Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking operations increased $10 million and $18 million for the three and six-month periods, respectively, due to higher average residential consumer loan balances in 2024 as well as the result of certain hedging activities at our Residential

Consumer Mortgage Banking operations. Net interest income from our Residential Investor Mortgage Banking operations was relatively flat for these periods.

Corporate net interest expense increased $5 million during the three and six-month periods primarily related to higher cost corporate unsecured debt issued recently relative to repurchases and payoffs of older vintage, lower coupon convertible debt. In the first six months of 2024, we issued $60 million of 9.125% senior notes in January 2024, $85 million of 9.0% senior notes in June 2024 and procured a secured revolving financing facility with CPP Investments, which we drew on starting in the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, we earned lower interest income at the corporate level from lower average cash balances invested in U.S. treasury securities as compared to 2023, while not fully utilizing available leverage for our jumbo loan pipeline given the cost of warehouse debt relative to the coupon interest rates on the underlying loans we hold.

We use a combination of fixed and floating rate debt to finance our fixed and floating rate investments. Over the past year, continued increases in benchmark interest rates and, to a lesser extent, borrowing spreads, negatively impacted our net interest income. We also established financing capacity for non-performing loans which generally carry higher borrowing costs, however, these activities freed up additional capital to invest. We maintained $332 million of unencumbered assets and $2.47 billion of excess warehouse capacity at June 30, 2024.

Additional detail on net interest income is provided in the “Net Interest Income” section that follows.

Mortgage Banking Activities, Net

Overall income from Mortgage Banking activities, net was higher during the three-month periods, as a $1 million decrease from Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking activities was offset by a $3 million increase from Residential Investor Mortgage Banking.

In the Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment, loan purchase and lock volumes significantly increased in the three and six-month periods relative to the same periods in 2023, driven by an increase in loan purchases from both banks and independent mortgage bankers ("IMBs"). Notably, for the three-month periods, total lock volume was four times higher, bank lock volume was six times higher and IMB lock volume was three times higher in 2024. As a reminder, market transaction volume during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by the regional bank crisis which also caused considerable interest rate volatility during that time. Despite on-going elevated rates and pressure on housing transactions, these volume increases during the three months ended June 30, 2024 occurred as a result of focused efforts to build our network of bank sellers, adding 90 new or re-established bank sellers over the last year, as well as focusing on wallet share with our IMB sellers. As of June 30, 2024, our total network of loan sellers is 203, over half of which are banks. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we also saw an increase in bulk volume, including seasoned bank collateral. We distributed $1.4 billion of jumbo loans during the second quarter of 2024, primarily through three Sequoia securitizations. For the second quarter of 2024, we earned gross margins of 72 basis points within this segment, relative to our historical range of 75 to 100 basis points. For the second quarter of 2024, cost per loan was 22 basis points, compared to 36 basis points in the first quarter of 2024 and our historical range of 30 to 35 basis points.

In the Residential Investor Mortgage Banking segment, income from mortgage banking activities decreased during the six-month periods due to lower margins and volumes experienced in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to the first half of 2023 as spreads tightened more significantly in the first quarter of 2023 and then stabilized. Funding volume and improved efficiencies in headcount and distribution execution in the second quarter of 2024 somewhat offset this decrease as income increased in the second quarter of 2024 relative to the first quarter of 2024. The increase in overall funding volumes during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 is largely attributable to continued demand for bridge production combined with a renewed interest from borrowers for term production given an outlook for moderating rates as well as SAB and DSCR production. Net cost to originate improved to 0.99% during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Notably, distribution activity increased in the second quarter of 2024 with distributions of $415 million in both whole loan sales and joint venture distributions, relative to distributions of $59 million in the first quarter of 2024. In particular, we distributed our first pool of loans into our joint venture with CPP Investments, as well as sold $238 million of term loans to a large institutional investor, during the second quarter of 2024.

A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows.

Investment Fair Value Changes, Net

Investment fair value changes, net, is primarily comprised of the change in fair values of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option and their associated interest rate hedges. Investment fair value changes, net totaled $1 million and $23 million during the three and six-month periods ended 2024, respectively, and primarily reflected improved credit performance and spread tightening on our securities portfolio, offset by negative investment fair value changes on our bridge loans. Investment fair

value changes, net of associated interest rate hedges, on our securities portfolio totaled $40 million for the first half of 2024, all of which primarily related to increases in value in our Sequoia, CAFL Term and SLST securities retained from these consolidated securitizations. This increase was offset by negative investment fair value changes of $19 million related to impairments and the impact of rate modifications on the values of our unsecuritized residential investor bridge and term loan portfolios during the first half of 2024, all of which we hold at fair value. Fundamental performance of our residential consumer assets within our Investment Portfolio continues to be driven by strong employment data, embedded equity protection associated with loan seasoning and borrowers motivated to stay current on their low-coupon mortgages. Notably, 90 day+ delinquencies on our SLST portfolio declined to 7.3% at June 30, 2024, compared to 9.1% at June 30, 2023.

Additional detail on our investment fair value changes during 2024 is included in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows as well as Table 6.4 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

HEI Income, net

HEI income, net increased $7 million and $12 million during the three and six-month periods, respectively. This increase was attributable to an increase in the net value of our securitized HEI entities of $4 million and $6 million during the three and six-month periods, respectively, and an increase in value of our unsecuritized HEI investments of $3 million and $6 million during the three and six-month periods, respectively. Increases in the valuations of our HEI portfolio have been the result of actual and projected trends in home price appreciation improving. HEI income is primarily comprised of recurring accretion of the underlying option value of the investments over time based on estimated future home price appreciation and other factors, along with periodic fluctuations in value influenced by changing housing and other market conditions.

Additional detail on our HEI income is presented in Table 11.3 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $7 million during both the three and six-month periods, primarily related to an increase in variable and equity compensation expense associated with improved operating results experienced in the first half of 2024, as well as increased portfolio management costs incurred for the management of specially serviced residential investor bridge loans and related workout arrangements incurred in the first half of 2024. This increase was partially offset by lower operating expenses due to a decrease headcount in the first quarter of 2024, as we effected an organizational restructuring and aligned expenses with the evolving operating environment.

Additional detail on our General and administrative expenses is presented in Table 22.1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is almost entirely related to activity at our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"), which primarily includes our mortgage banking activities and MSR investments, as well as certain other investment and hedging activities The switch to a tax provision from a benefit from income taxes year-over-year was primarily the result of GAAP income earned at our TRS in the first half of 2024 compared to a GAAP loss in the first half of 2023.

For additional detail on income taxes, see the “Taxable Income and Tax Provision” section that follows.

(1)Average balances for residential consumer loans held-for-sale and held-for-investment, residential investor loans held-for-sale and held-for-investment, multifamily loans held-for-investment, and trading securities are calculated based upon carrying values, which represent estimated fair values. Average balances for AFS securities, debt facilities, corporate debt and certain ABS issued are calculated based upon amortized historical cost. Average balances for ABS carried at fair value are calculated based upon fair value.

(2)Interest income and interest expense at "Sequoia", "Freddie Mac SLST", "Freddie Mac K-Series", "CAFL Term", and "CAFL Bridge" reflect activity from consolidated variable interest entities. While we consolidate these entities for GAAP reporting purposes, economically, we earn interest income from the securities we own in these entities, which is represented by the net interest income (interest income less interest expense) from these consolidated entities presented in the table above.

(3)At June 30, 2024, real estate securities include trading securities consisting primarily of interest-only securities, which generate a higher cash interest yield. This interest income may be offset by a decline in fair value (recognized through investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income) related to the receipt of cash flows each period, resulting in a lower overall economic yield for these investments.

Results of Operations by Segment

We report on our business using three segments: Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking, Residential Investor Mortgage Banking, and Investment Portfolio. For additional information on our segments, refer to Note 4 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following table presents the segment contribution from our three segments reconciled to our consolidated net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The sections that follow provide further detail on our business segments and their results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Corporate/Other

The increase in net expense from Corporate/Other for three and six months was primarily due to, among other things, an increase in general and administrative expenses due to organizational restructuring charges associated with employee severance and related transition expenses as we aligned expenses with the evolving operating environment, a decrease in interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents during 2024 and an increase in interest expense related to our corporate debt due to increasing borrowing costs, relative to prior corporate debt financing.

Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking Segment

This segment consists of a mortgage loan conduit that acquires residential consumer loans from third-party originators for subsequent sale to whole loan buyers, securitization through our SEMT® (Sequoia) private-label securitization program, or transfer into our investment portfolio. Subordinate securities that we retain from our Sequoia securitizations (many of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) are transferred to and held in our Investment Portfolio segment. We typically acquire prime jumbo mortgages and the related mortgage servicing rights on a flow basis from our extensive network of loan sellers. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of residential consumer loans held-for-sale within this segment. This segment’s main source of mortgage banking income is net interest income from its inventory of loans held-for-sale, securities utilized for hedging purposes, as well as income from mortgage banking activities, which includes valuation increases (or gains) on loans we acquire and subsequently sell, securitize, or transfer into our investment portfolio, and the hedges used to manage risks associated with these activities. Direct operating expenses and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment. See Note 5 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on the composition of mortgage banking activities, net).

The following table presents key earnings and operating metrics for our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment during

the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Operating expenses presented in the table above includes general and administrative expenses, loan acquisition costs and other expenses for this segment.

The increase in contribution from our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking operations during the three and six-months periods ending June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to higher mortgage banking volumes which drove overall income for the segment higher. In the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations section, we discussed additional factors impacting the change in net interest income and mortgage banking activities in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 for this segment. We actively manage our exposure to various market risks that can impact the value of our loan inventory in this segment, and our segment contribution in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 showed an improvement year-over-year from these activities. We continue to evaluate monetary policy, housing trends and economic data, among other factors, in developing our hedging strategy and we may leverage a variety of instruments as hedges, including TBAs, interest rate futures, real estate securities, options and other types of securities.

Additionally, operating expenses for this segment increased for the three and six-month periods primarily due to an increase in loan acquisition costs related to the increase in loan purchases, as well as higher general and administrative expenses from variable compensation due to improved performance to date in 2024.

Activity at this segment is performed within our taxable REIT subsidiary and subject to federal and state income taxes. The provision for income taxes for the first half of 2024 resulted from GAAP income from these operations at our TRS during that period.

The following table provides the activity of residential consumer loans held in inventory for sale at our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking business during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our residential consumer mortgage loan conduit locked $2.66 billion and $4.45 billion of loans ($2.43 billion and $3.73 billion adjusted for expected pipeline fallout – i.e., loan purchase commitments), and purchased $1.90 billion and $2.91 billion of loans, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we distributed $6 million and $207 million (unpaid principal balance) through whole loan sales, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 we completed three and six securitizations backed by $1.42 billion and $2.61 billion of loans (unpaid principal balance), respectively. Both lock volume and securitization distribution volume for the second quarter of 2024 represented the highest volume levels since the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in the first quarter of 2022, despite continued pressure on housing transaction activity. In addition to securitization distribution, we are also focused on finding alternative avenues for distribution, including identifying new whole loan buyers.

Capital allocation to this segment grew to $300 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $200 million at March 31, 2024. The change in capital allocation was driven by the increase in our volume of activity throughout the quarter. We continue to competitively bid on bulk jumbo loan acquisition opportunities, both new issue and seasoned collateral, while also focusing on our flow agreements with both new or re-established banking relationships as well as our on-going relationships with IMBs. As discussed in the Business Update section of this MD&A, looking ahead, we are focused on continuing to gain market share and volume opportunities with our growing seller network. We are also in discussion with banks regarding their seasoned jumbo loan collateral and locked our first seasoned jumbo loan portfolio in the second quarter of 2024.

We utilize a combination of capital and our residential consumer loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of residential consumer loans held-for-sale. At June 30, 2024, we had residential consumer warehouse facilities outstanding with six different counterparties, with $1.65 billion of total capacity and $763 million of available capacity. These facilities included non-marginable facilities (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent) with $500 million of total capacity and marginable facilities with $1.15 billion of total capacity.

Residential Investor Mortgage Banking Segment

This segment consists of a platform that originates residential investor loans for subsequent securitization, sale, or transfer into our investment portfolio. Residential investor loans are loans to investors in single-family rental and multifamily properties, which we classify as either "term" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range from 3 to 30 years) or "bridge" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range between 12 and 36 months). Term loans are mortgage loans secured by residential real estate (primarily 1-4 unit detached or multifamily) that the borrower owns as an investment property and rents to residential tenants. Residential investor bridge loans are mortgage loans which are generally secured by unoccupied (or in the case of certain multifamily properties, partially occupied) residential or multifamily real estate that the borrower owns as an investment and that is being renovated, rehabilitated or constructed. Our bridge loans are first-lien, interest-only loans. We may amend or modify bridge loans, including interest rate reductions and/or extended maturity dates, for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty based on specific facts and circumstances. In addition to modifying these loan terms, from time to time, we may also amend a loan's underlying budget (including allocations to hard/soft costs, interest reserves and other items) or construction and completion milestones, if warranted, based on progress with the project versus initial budget.

We typically distribute most of our term loans through our CAFL® private-label securitization program, or through whole loan sales, and typically transfer our residential investor bridge loans to our Investment Portfolio, where they will either be retained for investment or securitized, or sold as whole loans. Since 2023, we have also established joint ventures with global investment managers as another avenue through which we can distribute our bridge and term loan production.

In the second quarter of 2023, we established a joint venture with Oaktree Capital Management to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. In the first quarter of 2024, we established a joint venture with CPP Investments to invest in residential investor bridge and term loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. During the second quarter of 2024, we established warehouse financing lines to support our joint venture with CPP Investments and placed our first pool of CoreVest originated loans into this joint venture in June 2024. We will administer the joint ventures for ongoing fees and are entitled to earn additional performance fees upon realization of specified return hurdles.

This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of loans held-for-sale. This segment’s main sources of mortgage banking income are net interest income earned on loans while they are held in inventory, origination and other fees on loans, mark-to-market adjustments on loans from the time loans are originated or purchased to when they are sold, securitized or transferred into our investment portfolio, and gains/losses from associated hedges. Direct operating expenses and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.

The following table presents an earnings summary for our Residential Investor Mortgage Banking segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Residential Investor Mortgage Banking income presented in the table above is comprised of net interest income from our loans held-for-sale in inventory, mortgage banking activities, net (see Note 5 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on the composition of mortgage banking activities), and other income, net for this segment. Operating expenses presented in the table above includes general and administrative expenses, loan acquisition costs and other expenses (including amortization of purchased intangibles) for this segment.

The increase in segment contribution from our Residential Investor Mortgage Banking operations during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to higher mortgage banking income in the second quarter of 2024, as discussed in the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations and in the following Funding Activity sections of this MD&A. The decrease in segment contribution in this segment during six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to lower mortgage banking income, partially offset by lower general and administrative costs due to lower headcount and fixed compensation expenses in this segment, as we effected an organizational restructuring and aligned expenses with the evolving operating environment.

Activity at this segment is performed within our taxable REIT subsidiary and subject to federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes for the first half of 2024 was primarily due to GAAP losses generated by this segment's operations in those periods.

The following table provides residential investor loan origination activity at Redwood during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

(1)We originate Residential investor bridge loans at our TRS and transfer many of them to our REIT. Origination fees and any fair value changes on these loans prior to transfer or sale are recognized within Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income. Loans transferred to our REIT are classified as held-for-investment, with fair value changes subsequent to their transfer generally recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. For the carrying value and activity of our Residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment, see the Investment Portfolio section that follows.

(2)Funding and sales for Residential investor bridge loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, includes $6 million and $21 million, respectively, related to construction draws on loans sold to our Oaktree joint venture.

(3)For residential investor term loans, amounts primarily represent loans transferred into consolidated securitizations reflected within our Investment Portfolio Segment. Residential investor bridge loan amounts represent the transfer of loans originated or acquired by our Residential Investor Mortgage Banking segment at our TRS and transferred to our Investment Portfolio segment at our REIT, as described in the preceding footnote.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we funded $459 million and $785 million of residential investor loans (53% and 57% bridge and 47% and 43% term), respectively. The increase in overall funding volumes during the three-month period relative to the first quarter of 2024 is largely attributable to an increase in term loan volumes, as well as SAB and DSCR products. The second quarter was our highest volume quarter for SAB and DSCR to date. As the outlook for rates has tempered, investors are increasingly interested in our fixed-rate term product – as a result, June 2024 term loan origination was our highest funding month in a year. Looking ahead, we expect sustained demand from sponsors seeking fixed-rate bridge loans or term loans with more prepayment flexibility and will continue to assess our bridge loan portfolio for opportunities to refinance borrowers into term loans. We remain focused on strongly-underwritten and less rate-sensitive products that can be distributed efficiently and profitably.

Residential investor loan distribution activity during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $415 million, including both whole loan sales and joint venture distributions, relative to $59 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In particular, we distributed our first pool of loans into our joint venture with CPP Investments during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Looking ahead, given our established joint ventures, as well as growing network of whole loan buyers, we continue to see healthy demand for our production through our distribution channels.

Capital allocated to this segment decreased during the second quarter of 2024 to $97 million at June 30, 2024 from $124 million at March 31, 2024. We expect this trend could continue as we distribute more of our production into joint ventures and use less balance sheet capital for aggregation. We utilize a combination of capital and loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of residential investor loans that we hold for sale. At June 30, 2024, we had residential investor warehouse facilities outstanding with seven different counterparties, with $2.53 billion of total capacity (used for both term and bridge loans) and $1.53 billion of available capacity (inclusive of capacity on non-recourse facilities). All of these facilities are non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent).

Investment Portfolio Segment

This segment consists of organic investments sourced through our residential consumer and Residential Investor Mortgage Banking operations, including primarily securities retained from our mortgage banking securitization activities (some of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) and residential investor bridge loans, as well as third-party investments including RMBS issued by third parties, investments in Freddie Mac K-Series multifamily loan securitizations and reperforming loan securitizations (both of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes), servicer advance investments, home equity investments ("HEI"), and other housing-related investments and associated hedges. This segment’s main sources of income are net interest income and other income from investments, changes in fair value of investments and associated hedges, and realized gains and losses upon the sale of securities. Direct operating expenses and tax provisions associated with these activities are also included in this segment.

The following table presents an earnings summary for our Investment Portfolio segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Segment contribution from the Investment Portfolio increased during both the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The first half of 2024 reflected improved credit performance and spread tightening on our securities portfolio, relative to negative investment fair value changes in the first half of 2023. Additionally, HEI Income and Other Income were higher in the three and six-month periods of 2024, as discussed in the Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A. These improvements were partially offset by lower net interest income and higher credit reserves on our bridge portfolio, as discussed in the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

Investment fair value changes, net is primarily comprised of the change in fair value (both realized and unrealized) of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option and hedges associated with these investments. See Table 6.4 in Note 6 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on the composition of investment fair value changes (the difference in amounts in the table above and in Table 6.4 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements relates to fair value changes for investments held at corporate/other).

In the second quarter of 2024, stable fundamental credit performance continued across most assets within our single-family residential Investment Portfolio. Fundamental performance of our residential consumer assets within our Investment Portfolio continues to be driven by strong employment data, embedded equity protection associated with loan seasoning and borrowers motivated to stay current on their low-coupon mortgages. Notably, 90 day+ delinquencies on our SLST portfolio declined to 7.3% at June 30, 2024, compared to 9.1% at June 30, 2023.

The residential investor sector overall continues to manage through macro crosswinds that have impacted borrower sentiment and reduced transaction volumes across the industry. We remain focused on the impact that higher short-term interest rates have on borrowers, notwithstanding overall strength in leasing trends. In anticipation of this impact, our team has continued to work with borrowers well in advance of their loan maturities to assess project plans and ensure they manage towards successful completions. Delinquencies greater than 90 days across our residential investor bridge loans were slightly higher in the second quarter of 2024, increasing across most of the renovate/build to rent portfolio versus a slight decline in the multifamily portfolio. REO values in the residential investor bridge portfolio decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2024, and we continue to manage through pockets of stress, largely with a handful of more significant borrower relationships where a combination of rate modifications and fresh equity has been utilized. Overall velocity in the bridge portfolio remains positive, as approximately 10% of the bridge book paid off during the second quarter and we resolved 26% of loans that were 90 or more days delinquent at March 31, 2024.

Operating expenses at this segment increased $2 million and $3 million in the three and six month periods, respectively, due to increased costs incurred for organizational restructuring charges associated with employee severance and related transition expenses incurred within this segment in the first quarter of 2024 as well as increased portfolio management costs incurred for the management of specially serviced residential investor bridge loans and related workout arrangements in the first half of 2024.

We hold certain of our investments, primarily our MSRs, at our taxable REIT subsidiary. Our provision for income taxes at this segment is primarily driven by the amount of income earned from portfolio assets and, for each of the three and six month periods, reflects positive net income earned from investment portfolio activities at our taxable REIT subsidiary.

The following table presents details of our Investment Portfolio at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 organized by investments organically created through our mortgage banking segments and those acquired from third-parties. Amounts presented in the table represent our retained economic interests in consolidated Sequoia, CAFL SFR, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, Servicing Investment and HEI securitizations as noted.

Footnotes to Table 10

(1)Represents our retained economic investment in securities issued by consolidated Sequoia securitization VIEs. For GAAP purposes, we consolidated $6.95 billion of loans and $6.69 billion of ABS issued associated with these investments at June 30, 2024. We consolidated $4.64 billion of loans and $4.43 billion of ABS issued associated with these investments at December 31, 2023.

(2)Organic residential other investments at June 30, 2024 includes net risk share investments of $24 million, representing $28 million of restricted cash and other assets, net of other liabilities of $5 million.

(3)Represents our retained economic investment in securities issued by consolidated CAFL Term securitization VIEs. For GAAP purposes, we consolidated $2.74 billion of loans and $2.41 billion of ABS issued associated with these investments at June 30, 2024. We consolidated $2.97 billion of loans and $2.65 billion of ABS issued associated with these investments at December 31, 2023.

(4)Represents our economic investment in securities issued by consolidated Freddie Mac SLST securitization entities.

The size of our Investment Portfolio decreased slightly since December 31, 2023, due to the decrease in residential investor bridge loans, offset by actively deploying capital into new residential Sequoia securities and other residential securities investments. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 78% and 80% of our Investment Portfolio economic interests were organically created, respectively, and 22% and 20% were purchased from third parties, respectively. Capital deployment activities for the three and six months of 2024 represented the highest quarterly level of capital deployment into investments since the third quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2024, we continued to deploy capital into accretive investments, ultimately deploying $133 million of capital in certain third-party securities, as well as the retention of securities created from our Sequoia securitizations. This compares to $50 million of capital deployed during the second quarter of 2023. See the Investments Detail and Activity section that follows for additional detail on our portfolio investments and their associated borrowings.

(1)The effect of principal payments reflects the change in fair value due to principal payments, which is calculated as the cash principal received on a given security during the period multiplied by the prior quarter ending price or acquisition price for that security.

(2)At June 30, 2024, $26 million of Sequoia Securities and $75 million of Other Third-Party Securities were used as hedges for our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking operations, and were included in our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment.

At June 30, 2024, our securities owned at Redwood and in consolidated entities consisted of fixed-rate assets (98%), adjustable-rate assets (2%) and hybrid assets that reset within the next year (<1%).

We directly finance our holdings of real estate securities with a combination of non-recourse debt, non-marginable recourse term debt and marginable debt in the form of repurchase (or “repo”) financing. At June 30, 2024, we had: real estate securities with a fair value of $429 million (including securities owned in consolidated Sequoia and CAFL securitization entities) that were financed with $271 million of non-marginable recourse debt through our subordinate securities financing facilities; re-performing loan securities with a fair value of $258 million (including securities owned in consolidated securitization entities) that were financed with $163 million of non-recourse securitization debt (ABS issued); real estate securities with a fair value of $123 million (including securities owned in consolidated securitization entities) that were financed with $88 million of recourse debt incurred through repurchase facilities with five different counterparties; and $57 million of securities that were financed using a financing facility. The remaining $290 million of our securities, including certain securities we own that were issued by consolidated securitization entities, were financed with capital.

The following table summarizes the credit characteristics of our entire real estate securities portfolio by collateral type at June 30, 2024. This table includes both our securities held on balance sheet and our economic interest in securities we own in securitizations we consolidate in accordance with GAAP.

(1)Weighted averages presented in this table, including delinquencies, are weighted using the notional balance of loans collateralizing each securitization in which we own a security. Prior to December 31, 2023, weighted averages were calculated using the fair value of the securities we owned.

(2)Investment thickness represents the average size of the subordinate securities we own as investments in securitizations, relative to the average overall size of the securitizations. For example, if our investment thickness (of first-loss securities) with respect to a particular securitization is 10%, we have exposure to the first 10% of credit losses resulting from loans underlying that securitization. We generally own first loss positions in Sequoia, RPL and CAFL securities. We own both first loss and mezzanine positions (positions credit enhanced by subordinate securities) in multifamily and other third-party securities.

(3)At June 30, 2024, $26 million of Sequoia Securities and $75 million of Other Third-Party Securities were used as hedges for our Residential Mortgage Banking operations, and were included in our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment.

We primarily target investments that have a sensitivity to housing credit risk, typically sourced through our operating businesses where we control the underwriting and review of underlying collateral. During the second quarter of 2024, our overall residential and Agency multifamily securities portfolio continued to demonstrate stable fundamentals, driven by underlying loan seasoning, low 90+ day delinquencies and embedded growth in home prices and rents. Given the seasoned nature of our investments (particularly within our RPL securities and Sequoia securities), many of our residential investments are supported by substantial home price appreciation and borrower equity in the underlying homes. For the term loans underlying our consolidated CAFL securities, 90 day+ delinquencies increased modestly during the second quarter of 2024.

With a weighted average quarter-end carrying value of 68 cents to each one dollar of face value, we estimate our securities portfolio had approximately $2.18 per common share of net discount to par at quarter end. We believe continued credit performance in our underlying securities portfolio, combined with firming of risk sentiment and a return to more normalized prepayment speeds, could contribute to our ability to realize potential upside in book value over time, reversing unrealized losses taken in 2023 that were largely driven by technical spread widening.

Once the loans are transferred to our REIT, they are classified as held-for-investment, with subsequent fair value changes generally recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Our $1.88 billion of Residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment at June 30, 2024, were comprised of first-lien, interest-only loans with a weighted average coupon of 10.33% and original maturities of 6 to 36 months. At origination, the weighted average FICO score of sponsors of these loan borrowers was 728 and the weighted average LTV ratio of these loans was 64%. At June 30, 2024, 6% of the loans in this portfolio, with an aggregate fair value of $116 million and an unpaid principal balance of $128 million, were greater than 90 days delinquent. Included in the 90 days delinquent balance are loans in foreclosure with an aggregate fair value of $90 million and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $102 million. Additionally, REO associated with bridge loans decreased from $88 million at December 31, 2023, to $86 million at June 30, 2024 resulting from a decrease in fair value of $5 million, offset by transfers to REO of $4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The fair value of residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment of $1.88 billion at June 30, 2024 declined from $2.07 billion at December 31, 2023. Changes in the fair value of these loans during the second quarter of 2024 primarily reflect reductions in values for non-accrual bridge loans and certain modified bridge loans since the fourth quarter of 2023. In the second quarter of 2024, $379 million of residential investor bridge loans (representing cumulative unpaid principal balance as of June 30, 2024) were subject to modifications. Of this balance, $43 million included loans in forbearance without a rate reduction and $335 million included reductions in interest rates (including, in certain cases, deferrals of interest), among other terms, and in certain cases, combined with infusions of fresh capital from either the existing sponsor or new sources. The modifications may involve conversions of the contractual interest on the loans from floating to fixed and/or deferrals of a portion of the stated pay rate to an extended date or to maturity. In the second quarter of 2024, modifications on these loans maintained a weighted average contractual interest rate of approximately 10%, of which 4.35% represented deferred interest. In addition, $4 million of residential investor bridge loans (representing cumulative unpaid principal balance as of June 30, 2024) were subject to modifications to extend the loan term, coupled with an increase in interest rate.

While we continue to work proactively with certain borrowers to address the impacts of rising interest rates, elongated project timelines, or other issues, further increases in delinquencies or modifications within our residential investor bridge loan portfolio could ultimately result in further decreases in net interest income and the fair value of our bridge loans held for investment, and further instances of borrower/sponsor stress could lead to realized credit losses. In addition to the loan modifications described above, during the second quarter of 2024, we extended the maturities of $69 million of loans (representing cumulative unpaid principal balance as of June 30, 2024). An increase in maturity extensions in the residential investor bridge portfolio would increase the expected time to repayment with a potential impact on fair values and credit losses. However, given the overall short duration nature of our bridge loans, a certain level of maturity extensions are a regular asset management outcome for these loans, irrespective of market conditions. In the second quarter of 2024, the average length of maturity extensions granted on residential investor bridge loans was just under five months.

We generally value delinquent residential investor loans at a dollar price that is informed by various market data, including the estimated fair value of the collateral securing a loan, for which we typically receive third-party appraisals, as well as estimated sales costs. The amounts we may ultimately recover through the foreclosure of loans and the sale of the underlying collateral or through alternative strategies, such as through loan sales or discounted payoffs, could vary materially from our estimates and could have a material impact on our earnings in future periods.

We finance our residential investor bridge loans with a combination of recourse, non-marginable warehouse facilities, non-recourse, non-marginable facilities, and non-recourse securitization debt. At June 30, 2024, we had $860 million of debt incurred through warehouse facilities with six counterparties, which was secured by $1.20 billion of residential investor bridge loans; and $648 million of securitization debt secured by $686 million of residential investor bridge loans, $18 million of restricted cash and $53 million of other assets. At June 30, 2024, the unpaid principal balance of bridge loans financed was $1.90 billion, of which $457 million was financed with recourse, non-marginable facilities, $764 million was financed with non-recourse, non-marginable facilities, and $680 million was financed through non-recourse CAFL bridge securitizations.

The following table provides the composition of residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment by product type as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(2) Includes loans for light to moderate renovation of residential and small multifamily properties (generally less than 20 units).

(3) Includes loans for predominantly light to moderate rehabilitation projects on multifamily properties.

At June 30, 2024, the fair value of our total residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment and associated REO represented 97.9% of the combined unpaid principal balance of these loans and the unpaid principal balance of the loans associated with the REO at time of foreclosure. The fair value of multifamily loans within this population ($827 million at June 30, 2024) and associated multifamily REO ($44 million at June 30, 2024), represented 96.6% of the combined unpaid principal balance of these loans and the unpaid principal balance of the loans associated with the REO at time of foreclosure.

Income Taxes

REIT Status and Dividend Characterization

While the exact amount is uncertain at this time, we currently expect a portion of our 2024 common stock dividend distributions to be taxable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Any remaining amount is currently expected to be characterized as a return of capital, which in general is nontaxable (provided it does not exceed a shareholder's tax basis in Redwood shares) and reduces a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares (but not below zero). To the extent such distributions exceed a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares, such excess amount would be taxable as capital gain. We currently expect all of our 2024 preferred stock dividend distributions to be taxable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Under the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs, none of Redwood’s 2024 dividend distributions are currently expected to be characterized as long-term capital gain dividends. The income or loss generated at our TRS will not directly affect the tax characterization of our 2024 dividends; however, any dividends paid from our TRS to our REIT would allow a portion of our REIT’s dividends to be classified as qualified dividends.

Tax Provision under GAAP

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a tax provision of $5 million. For the three and six ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a tax provision of $0.1 million and a tax benefit of $1 million, respectively. Our tax provision is primarily derived from the activities at our TRS, as we do not book a material tax provision associated with income generated at our REIT. The switch to a tax provision from a benefit from income taxes year-over-year was primarily the result of GAAP income earned at our TRS in the first half of 2024 compared to a GAAP loss in the first half of 2023.

Realization of our deferred tax assets ("DTAs") is dependent on many factors, including generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of NOL carryforwards (where applicable) and generating sufficient capital gains in future periods prior to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards. We closely analyzed the realizability of our net deferred tax assets in whole and in part, and, at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we reported net federal ordinary and capital DTAs with no material valuation allowance recorded against them. We conduct our evaluation by considering, among other things, all available positive and negative evidence, historical operating results and cumulative earnings analysis, forecasts of future profitability, and the duration of statutory carryforward periods. Based on this analysis, we continue to believe it is more likely than not that we will realize our federal deferred tax assets in future periods as income is earned at our TRS; therefore, there continues to be no material valuation allowance recorded against our net federal DTAs. This evaluation requires significant judgment in assessing the possible need for a valuation allowance and changes to our assumptions could result in a material change in the valuation allowance with a corresponding impact on the provision for income taxes in the period including such change.

Consistent with prior periods, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance against the majority of our net state DTAs as realization of our state DTAs is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the same jurisdictions in which the DTAs exist and we project most of our state DTAs will expire prior to their utilization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Summary

In addition to the proceeds from equity and debt capital-raising transactions, our principal sources of cash and liquidity consist of borrowings under mortgage loan warehouse facilities, secured term financing facilities, securities repurchase agreements, a corporate secured revolving financing facility, payments of principal and interest we receive from our investment portfolio assets, proceeds from the sale of investment portfolio assets, and cash generated from our mortgage banking operating activities, such as the sale and securitization of mortgage loans. Our most significant uses of cash are to purchase and originate mortgage loans for our mortgage banking operations and manage hedges associated with those activities, to purchase investment securities and make other investments, to repay principal and interest on our debt, to meet margin calls associated with our debt and other obligations, to make dividend payments on our capital stock, to fund draws on our bridge loan portfolio and other commitments when requested, and to fund our operations.

At June 30, 2024, our total capital was $2.12 billion, consisting of (i) $1.22 billion of equity capital, (ii) $881 million of convertible notes and other corporate debt on our consolidated balance sheets (including $107 million of convertible debt due in July 2024, $157 million of exchangeable debt due in October 2025, $207 million of convertible debt due in 2027, $125 million corporate secured revolving financing facility with CPP Investments due in March 2026, $145 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2029, $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037), and (iii) $15 million of promissory notes included in short-term debt. In January 2024, we issued $60 million of 9.125% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes with a maturity of March 1, 2029 which we may redeem in whole or in part at any time on or after March 1, 2026. In June 2024, we issued $85 million of 9.000% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes with a maturity of September 1, 2029 which we may redeem in whole or in part at any time on or after September 1, 2026. Subsequent to quarter end, we repaid the $107 million convertible debt in July 2024 with available cash on hand.

As of June 30, 2024, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $276 million. While we believe our available cash is sufficient to fund our operations, we may raise equity or debt capital from time to time to increase our unrestricted cash and liquidity, to repay existing debt, to make long-term portfolio investments, to fund strategic acquisitions and investments, or for other purposes. To the extent we seek to raise additional capital, our approach will continue to be based on what we believe to be in the best interests of the Company.

In the discussion that follows and throughout this document, we distinguish between marginable and non-marginable debt. When we refer to non-marginable debt and marginable debt, we are referring to whether or not such debt can be subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent. If a mortgage loan is financed under a marginable warehouse facility, to the extent the market value of the loan declines (which market value is determined by the counterparty under the facility), we will be subject to a margin call, meaning we will be required to either immediately reacquire the loan or meet a margin requirement to pledge additional collateral, such as cash or additional mortgage loans, in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. Non-marginable debt may be subject to a margin call due to delinquency or another credit event related to the mortgage loan or security being financed, a decline in the value of the underlying property securing the mortgage loan, as determined by an appraisal, broker price opinion, or similar third-party source, an extended dwell time (i.e., period of time financed using a particular financing facility) for certain types of mortgage loans, or a change in the interest rate of a specified reference security relative to a base interest rate amount.

We also distinguish our debt between recourse and non-recourse, as our non-recourse debt has unique characteristics that differentiate it in important ways from our recourse debt. When we refer to non-recourse debt, we mean debt that is payable solely from the assets pledged to secure such debt, and under which debt no creditor or lender has direct or indirect recourse to us (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"), if such assets are inadequate or unavailable to pay off such debt. From time to time, we may incur debt with a mixture of both recourse and non-recourse elements, such that only a portion of the loan would be subject to a full recourse guaranty with the remainder being non-recourse. In this case, we would consider as recourse debt only that portion of borrowings subject to a full recourse guaranty, with the remainder considered non-recourse debt.

At June 30, 2024, in aggregate, we had $2.49 billion of secured recourse debt outstanding, financing our mortgage banking operations and investment portfolio, of which $756 million was marginable and $1.73 billion was non-marginable.

We are subject to risks relating to our liquidity and capital resources, including risks relating to incurring debt under loan warehouse facilities, securities repurchase facilities, other short- and long-term debt facilities and other risks relating to our corporate debt and use of derivatives. A further discussion of these risks is set forth below under the heading “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short-and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities."

103

Repurchase Authorization

Our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common stock, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. In May 2023, our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization for the repurchase of up to $70 million of our preferred stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock or preferred stock and repurchased $39 million of our convertible and exchangeable debt. At June 30, 2024, $101 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock, and $70 million remained available for the repurchase of shares of our preferred stock. Like investments we may make, any repurchases of our common stock, preferred stock, or debt securities under these authorizations would reduce our available capital and unrestricted cash described above

Cash Flows and Liquidity for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Cash flows from our mortgage banking activities and our investments can be volatile from quarter to quarter depending on many factors, including the timing and amount of loan originations, acquisitions, sales and profitability within our mortgage banking operations, the timing and amount of securities acquisitions, sales and repayments, as well as changes in interest rates, prepayments, and credit losses. Therefore, cash flows generated in the current period are not necessarily reflective of the long-term cash flows we will receive from these operating or investment activities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our net cash used in operating activities was $2.92 billion. This amount includes the net cash utilized during the period from the purchase and sale of residential mortgage loans, and the origination and sale of our residential loans associated with our mortgage banking activities. Loans purchased or originated for our mortgage banking operations are financed to a large extent with short-term and long-term debt obligations, for which changes in cash are included as a component of financing activities. Additionally, many of these loans are sold into securitizations, which we consolidate under GAAP, and cash inflows from these sales are shown as proceeds from ABS issued within financing activities. Further, loans securitized or transferred into our investment portfolio are reclassified as held-for-investment loans, and any subsequent principal repayments or proceeds from sales of these loans are classified as investing activities. During the first six months of 2024, we transferred $2.65 billion of residential loans to six Sequoia securitizations and reclassified these loans as held-for-investment loans. Excluding cash flows from the purchase, origination, sale and principal payments of loans classified as held-for-sale, and the settlement of associated derivatives (which cumulatively totaled $2.97 billion of net cash outflows), cash flows from operating activities were positive $51 million during the first six months of 2024.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our net cash provided by investing activities was $902 million and primarily resulted from proceeds from principal payments on loans held-for-investment and proceeds from sales of securities, in excess of cash deployed into these investments. Because many of our investment securities, loans and HEI are financed through various borrowing agreements, a significant portion of the proceeds from any sales or principal payments of these assets are generally used to repay balances under these financing sources. Similarly, all or a significant portion of cash flows from principal payments of loans and HEI at consolidated securitization entities would generally be used to repay ABS issued by those entities.

Although we generally intend to hold our loans and investment securities as long-term investments, we may sell certain of these assets in order to manage our liquidity needs and interest rate risk, to meet other operating objectives, and to adapt to market conditions.

As presented in the "Supplemental Noncash Information" subsection of our consolidated statements of cash flows, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we transferred $2.82 billion of loans between held-for-sale and held-for-investment classification, which represent significant non-cash transactions that were not included in cash flows from investing activities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our net cash provided by financing activities was $1.99 billion. This primarily resulted from $1.85 billion of net borrowings under ABS issued (resulting from the issuance of six Sequoia securitizations, net of related issuance costs), and $186 million of net borrowings on debt obligations. During the six months ending June 30, 2024, net cash provided from debt obligations included the issuance of $60 million of senior notes in January 2024 and the issuance of $85 million of senior notes in June 2024.

104

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we declared and paid dividends for the first and second quarters of 2024 on our common stock of $0.32 per common share (totaling $44 million) and paid dividends on our preferred stock for the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 of $1.2500 per share (totaling $4 million). Specifically, on June 11, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend on our common stock of $0.16 per share for the second quarter of 2024, which was paid on June 28, 2024 to shareholders of record on June 21, 2024. Additionally, on June 11, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.625 per share of preferred stock, which was paid on July 15, 2024 to stockholders of record on July 1, 2024.

In accordance with the terms of our outstanding deferred stock units, cash-settled deferred stock units, restricted stock units and cash-settled restricted stock units, which are stock-based compensation awards, each time we declare and pay a dividend on our common stock, we are required to make a dividend equivalent payment in that same per share amount on each outstanding deferred stock unit, cash-settled deferred stock unit, restricted stock unit and cash-settled restricted stock unit.

Material Cash Requirements

In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions that may require future cash payments. As required by GAAP, some of these obligations are recorded on the balance sheet, while others are off-balance sheet or recorded on the balance sheet in amounts different from the full contractual or notional amount of the transaction.

Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations during the twelve months following June 30, 2024, include maturing debt obligations, interest payments on debt obligations and ABS issued, payments on operating leases, funding commitments for residential investor bridge loans, strategic investments, and other current payables. Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations beyond the twelve months following June 30, 2024, include maturing long-term debt, interest payments on long-term debt, payments on operating leases and funding commitments for residential investor bridge loans, strategic investments, and principal and interest payments under ABS issued (as described further below under Liquidity Needs for our Investment Portfolio).

At June 30, 2024, we had commitments to fund up to $448 million of additional advances on existing residential investor bridge loans. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the borrower and other terms regarding advances that must be met before we fund the commitment (for example, funding is dependent on actual progress on a project and we retain the right to conduct due diligence with respect to each draw request to confirm conditions have been met). A majority of the commitments are for longer-term renovate/build-for-rent loans (which generally have funding caps below their full commitment amount) and are expected to fund over the next several quarters. Additionally, at June 30, 2024, we had $1.53 billion of available warehouse capacity for residential investor loans and scheduled bridge loan maturities are expected to provide an additional source of cash that can be used to fund our commitments.

For additional information regarding our material cash requirements, see Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the caption Contractual Obligations. For additional information on commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2024 that could impact our liquidity and capital resources, see Note 18 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which supplements the disclosures included in Note 17 to the Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We expect to meet our obligations coming due in less than one year from June 30, 2024 most likely from borrowings under existing, new or amended financing arrangements, or through other previously mentioned sources of capital. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $332 million of unencumbered assets, and we currently estimate we could generate incremental capital organically through financing of these assets. Our unencumbered assets consist primarily of bridge loans, HEI, and retained securities from our securitization activities. To date in the third quarter of 2024, we have established a new financing line for bridge loans and we are actively engaged in seeking expanded financing capacity for our residential consumer business which has been growing its volumes and expect to make further progress on this initiative in the second quarter of 2024.

See Note 17 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our debt obligations.

105

Liquidity Needs for our Mortgage Banking Activities

We generally use loan warehouse facilities to finance the loans we acquire and originate in our mortgage banking operations while we aggregate the loans for sale or securitization. These facilities may be designated as short-term or long-term, depending on the remaining maturity of the facility or the amount of time individual borrowings may remain outstanding on a facility.

At June 30, 2024, we had residential consumer warehouse facilities outstanding with six different counterparties, with $1.65 billion of total capacity and $763 million of available capacity. These included non-marginable facilities with $500 million of total capacity and marginable facilities with $1,150 million of total capacity. At June 30, 2024, we had residential investor warehouse facilities outstanding with seven different counterparties, with $2.53 billion of total capacity and $1.53 billion of available capacity. All of these residential investor financing facilities are non-marginable. We note that several of these facilities used to finance our Residential Investor Mortgage Banking loan inventory are also used to finance bridge loans held in our investment portfolio.

Most of our loan warehouse facilities were established with initial one-year terms and are regularly amended on an annual basis to extend the terms for an additional year ahead of their maturity. We renewed several of these facilities during the first and second quarters of 2024, and have other such facilities with scheduled maturities during the next twelve months. During the first six months of 2024, we entered into two new recourse, marginable facilities with borrowing limits totaling $500 million and amended an existing residential consumer loan facility from recourse to non-recourse. Additionally, during the first six months of 2024, we entered into one recourse, non-marginable $100 million facility and as well as a non-recourse, non-marginable $375 million facility to finance residential investor loans.

Additional information regarding risks related to the debt we use to finance our mortgage banking operations can be found under the heading "Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities" that follows within this section.

Liquidity Needs for our Investment Portfolio

At June 30, 2024, in addition to our ABS issued, our investment portfolio was financed with $689 million of secured recourse debt, of which $134 million was marginable and $555 million was non-marginable, and $652 million of secured non-recourse debt that was non-marginable.

We use various forms of secured recourse and non-recourse debt to finance assets in our investment portfolio. Our ABS issued is non-recourse and represents debt of securitization entities that we consolidate for GAAP reporting purposes. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained from these entities (typically subordinate securities and interest only securities). Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. As the debt issued by these entities is not a direct obligation of Redwood, and since the debt generally can remain outstanding for the full term of the loans it is financing within each securitization, this debt effectively provides permanent financing for these assets. Certain of our ABS issued, including that issued through our CAFL Bridge loan securitizations, HEI securitizations, and SLST re-securitization, are subject to optional redemptions and interest rate step-ups. If we choose not to redeem these securitizations, the interest rates will step-up, reducing our net interest income. If we choose to redeem the securities, we will need to secure alternative sources of financing for these assets or utilize available cash. See Notes 15 and 16, respectively, in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information on our principles of consolidation and our asset-backed securities issued.

In addition, the residential investor bridge loan joint venture we established in 2023 has a dedicated warehouse facility. This warehouse facility is an obligation of the joint venture, not of Redwood, and it is non-recourse to Redwood (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"). We established multiple similar, dedicated warehouse facilities for the residential investor bridge and term loan joint venture we established in the first quarter 2024. See Notes 8 and 18 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding our residential investor bridge loan and bridge and term loan joint ventures.

One of our subordinate securities financing facilities had a maturity date in September 2024. Recourse term borrowings under this facility were $121 million at June 30, 2024, and were secured by certain subordinate and interest-only securities we retained from Sequoia securitizations we sponsored. In July 2024, this financing facility was refinanced into a new, non-recourse resecuritization, with a principal balance of $205 million and a blended interest rate of 8.5%. The collateral for this resecuritization includes Sequoia securities that had been financed with our recourse subordinate securities financing, Sequoia securities financed through other facilities or previously unfinanced Sequoia securities.

106

Another one of our subordinate securities financing facilities matures in February 2025. Recourse term borrowings under this facility were $97 million at June 30, 2024 and are secured by certain securities we retained from CAFL securitizations we sponsored. While we will continue to evaluate our alternatives with respect to this facility's maturity, we expect we will be able to refinance these securities utilizing securities repurchase financing or alternative types of secured debt. These subordinate securities financing facilities are subject to optional redemptions and interest rate step-ups. If we choose not to redeem these borrowings, the interest rates will step-up, and in some cases already have, reducing our net interest income. If we choose to redeem the securities, we will need to secure alternative sources of financing for these assets or utilize available cash.

The remainder of the debt we use to finance our investments is recourse debt, including our subordinate securities financing facilities, residential investor financing facilities, MSR financing facility, securities repo borrowings, HEI warehouse facility, and corporate secured revolving financing facility. For securities we have financed, our subordinate securities financing facilities are non-marginable and our repurchase debt facilities and MSR facility (which also finances certificated MSRs we classify as securities) are marginable. Our residential investor financing facilities and HEI warehouse facility are non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent), but may be subject to margin calls based on, for example, delinquency of the mortgage loan being financed, or a decline in the estimated value of the property securing the mortgage loan that is financed.

Delinquencies on residential investor bridge loans that are financed through warehouse facilities experienced an uptick during the first six months of 2024, and have been and could continue to be, a required use of our liquidity to the extent the terms of the applicable warehouse facility apply reduced financing advance rates to these loans (“advance rate step-downs”) or these loans become ineligible for financing under the terms of the warehouse facility. While we may have the ability to finance delinquent loans on other facilities with capacity for these types of loans, the advance rates are generally lower and the interest rates are higher. Additionally, our liquidity may be impacted to the extent delinquencies on loans financed through CAFL bridge securitizations were elevated above established thresholds for an extended period, which could trigger adverse changes to certain structural terms of these transactions (such as terms relating to the amortization of the issued securities and the revolving availability of financing under these transactions).

Corporate Capital

In addition to secured recourse and non-recourse debt we use specifically in association with our mortgage banking operations and within our investment portfolio, we also use unsecured recourse debt to finance our overall operations. This is generally in the form of convertible and non-convertible senior debt securities we issue in the public markets and also includes trust preferred securities and promissory notes. Furthermore, during the first quarter of 2024, we entered into a corporate secured revolving financing facility to provide recourse debt financing secured by eligible collateral, which may include residential investor securities, residential consumer securities and other investments, as well as equity in certain operating subsidiaries. At June 30, 2024, this facility had a borrowing limit of $250 million and a two-year term, with a one-year extension option. We also characterize our corporate secured revolving financing facility as non-marginable, but it may be subject to margin calls or cash flow sweeps based on a decline in the market value of financed collateral in an aggregate amount that causes the effective advance rate associated with such financing facility to exceed a specified threshold, based on market value determinations by Redwood and one or more third party valuation agents. See Note 17 Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 14 and Note 16 in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information on our unsecured debt obligations.

Risks Relating to Debt Incurred Under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities

As described above under the heading “Results of Operations,” in the ordinary course of our business, we use debt financing obtained through several different types of borrowing facilities to, among other things, finance the acquisition and/or origination of residential consumer and residential investor mortgage loans (including those we acquire or originate in anticipation of sale or securitization), and finance investments in securities and other investments. We may also use borrowings to fund other aspects of our business and operations, including the repurchase of shares of our capital stock. Recourse debt incurred under these facilities is generally either the direct obligation of Redwood Trust, Inc., or the direct obligation of subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. and guaranteed by Redwood Trust, Inc. Risks relating to debt incurred under these facilities are described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, under the caption(s) “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities,” and “Our use of financial leverage exposes us to increased risks, including liquidity risks from margin calls and potential breaches of the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities, which could result in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements.”

107

Aggregate borrowing limits are stated under certain of these facilities, and certain other facilities have no stated borrowing limit, but many of the facilities are uncommitted, which means that any request we make to borrow funds under these uncommitted facilities may be declined by the lender for any reason, even if at the time of the borrowing request we have then-outstanding borrowings that are less than the borrowing limits under these facilities. In general, financing under these facilities is obtained by transferring or pledging mortgage loans or securities to the counterparty in exchange for cash proceeds (in an amount less than 100% of the principal amount of the transferred or pledged assets). Given that we may not be able to obtain additional financing under uncommitted lines when we need it, we are exposed to, among other things, liquidity risks of the types described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Market Risks.” In addition, with respect to mortgage loans that at any given time are already being financed through these warehouse facilities, we are exposed to market, credit, liquidity, and other risks of the types described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Market Risks,” if and when those loans or securities become ineligible to be financed, decline in value, or have been financed for the maximum term permitted under the applicable facility.

Under many of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities, our short-term securities repurchase facilities, and our corporate secured revolving financing facility, while transferred or pledged mortgage loans or securities are financed under the facility, to the extent the value of the loans or securities, or the collateral underlying those loans or securities, declines, we are generally required to either immediately reacquire the loans or securities or meet a margin requirement to transfer or pledge additional loans, securities or cash in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. Of our active financing arrangements with outstanding balances at June 30, 2024, only our securities repurchase facilities (with $88 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2024), three of our residential consumer mortgage loan warehouse facilities (with a combined $622 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2024), and a certificated MSR facility (with $46 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2024) retain market-value based margin call provisions based solely on the lender's determination of market value and, as such, are considered marginable.

Margin call provisions under these facilities are further described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Margin Call Provisions Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.” Financial covenants included in these facilities are further described Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Financial Covenants Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.”

At June 30, 2024, and through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with the financial covenants associated with our debt financing facilities. In particular, with respect to: (i) financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum dollar amount of stockholders’ equity or tangible net worth at Redwood, at June 30, 2024 our level of stockholders’ equity and tangible net worth resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants by more than $200 million; and (ii) financial covenants that require us to maintain recourse indebtedness below a specified ratio at Redwood, at June 30, 2024 our level of recourse indebtedness resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants at a level such that we could incur more than $4 billion in additional recourse indebtedness.

108

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and the possible effects of changes in estimates on our consolidated financial statements is included in Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We have elected the fair value option of accounting for a significant portion of the assets and some of the liabilities on our balance sheet, and the majority of these assets and liabilities utilize Level 3 valuation inputs, which require a significant level of estimation uncertainty. See Note 6 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information on our assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value at June 30, 2024, including the significant inputs used to estimate their fair values and the impact the changes in their fair values had to our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 5 in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, incorporated herein by reference, for the same information on these assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023. Periodic fluctuations in the values of these assets and liabilities are inherently volatile and thus can lead to significant period-to-period GAAP earnings volatility.

Additional detail on our critical accounting estimates is included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, under the heading "Critical Accounting Estimates."

MARKET AND OTHER RISKS

We seek to manage risks inherent in our business — including but not limited to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, and fair value risk — in a prudent manner designed to enhance our earnings and dividends and preserve our capital. In general, we seek to assume risks that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage such risks, and to maintain capital levels consistent with these risks. Information concerning the risks we are managing, how these risks are changing over time, and potential GAAP earnings and taxable income volatility we may experience as a result of these risks is discussed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

In addition to the market risks described above, our business and results of operations are subject to a variety of types of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

109

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Information concerning market risk is incorporated herein by reference to Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as supplemented by the information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Market Risks” within Item 2 above. Other than the developments described thereunder, including changes in the fair values of our assets, there have been no other material changes in our quantitative or qualitative exposure to market risk since December 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed on our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our risk factors are discussed under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as set forth below.

In July 2022, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common stock, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. In May 2023, our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization for the repurchase of up to $70 million of our preferred stock. These authorizations have no expiration dates and do not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of our common or preferred stock under this program. At June 30, 2024, $101 million and $70 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common and preferred stock, respectively, and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities.

The following table contains information on the shares of our common stock that we purchased or otherwise acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
