Redwood Trust reported a large quarterly loss of $98.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with net income of $15.5 million a year earlier. The loss was driven primarily by $84.7 million of investment fair value declines and an HEI loss of $12.9 million, while mortgage banking income strengthened to $40.9 million (up from $18.9 million). Net interest income fell to $13.8 million as interest expense on ABS and debt rose sharply.
On the balance sheet, total assets increased to $21.33 billion from $18.26 billion, led by residential consumer loans of $14.20 billion. Asset-backed securities issued rose to $15.99 billion. Equity declined to $1.05 billion. Cash and restricted cash totaled $448.2 million. Management created a new Legacy Investments segment to report non-core assets that are in runoff or intended for disposition.
Redwood Trust ha registrato una rilevante perdita trimestrale di $98.5 million per i tre mesi terminati il 30 giugno 2025, rispetto a un utile netto di $15.5 million un anno prima. La perdita è stata principalmente determinata da $84.7 million di riduzioni del fair value degli investimenti e da una perdita HEI di $12.9 million, mentre i ricavi dalle attività di mortgage banking sono aumentati a $40.9 million (da $18.9 million). Il reddito netto da interessi è sceso a $13.8 million a seguito del marcato aumento degli oneri per interessi su ABS e debito.
Nel bilancio, il totale degli attivi è salito a $21.33 billion da $18.26 billion, trainato dai prestiti al consumo residenziale per $14.20 billion. I titoli asset-backed emessi sono aumentati a $15.99 billion. Il patrimonio netto si è ridotto a $1.05 billion. La liquidità e la liquidità vincolata ammontavano a $448.2 million. La direzione ha creato un nuovo segmento Legacy Investments per segnalare le attività non core in run-off o destinate alla dismissione.
Redwood Trust informó una importante pérdida trimestral de $98.5 million para los tres meses terminados el 30 de junio de 2025, frente a un beneficio neto de $15.5 million un año antes. La pérdida se debió principalmente a $84.7 million en caídas del valor razonable de las inversiones y a una pérdida HEI de $12.9 million, mientras que los ingresos por mortgage banking se fortalecieron hasta $40.9 million (desde $18.9 million). El ingreso neto por intereses cayó a $13.8 million debido al fuerte aumento de los gastos por intereses sobre ABS y deuda.
En el balance, el total de activos aumentó a $21.33 billion desde $18.26 billion, impulsado por préstamos de consumo residencial por $14.20 billion. Los valores respaldados por activos emitidos subieron a $15.99 billion. El patrimonio neto se redujo a $1.05 billion. El efectivo y el efectivo restringido totalizaron $448.2 million. La dirección creó un nuevo segmento Legacy Investments para informar sobre activos no centrales que están en run-off o que se prevé sean enajenados.
Redwood Trust는 2025년 6월 30일로 끝나는 3개월 기간에 대해 $98.5 million의 큰 분기 손실을 보고했으며, 이는 1년 전의 $15.5 million 순이익과 대비된다. 이 손실은 주로 $84.7 million의 투자 공정가치 하락과 $12.9 million의 HEI 손실에 기인했으며, 모기지 뱅킹 수익은 $18.9 million에서 증가해 $40.9 million로 개선됐다. 순이자수익은 ABS 및 부채의 이자비용이 급증하면서 $13.8 million으로 감소했다.
대차대조표상 총자산은 주거용 소비자대출이 주도하며 $21.33 billion으로 $18.26 billion에서 증가했다. 발행된 자산담보증권(ABS)은 $15.99 billion으로 늘어났다. 자본(주주지분)은 $1.05 billion으로 감소했다. 현금 및 제한된 현금은 총 $448.2 million이었다. 경영진은 정리(런오프) 중이거나 처분 예정인 비핵심 자산을 보고하기 위해 새로운 Legacy Investments 사업부문을 신설했다.
Redwood Trust a enregistré une lourde perte trimestrielle de $98.5 million pour les trois mois clos le 30 juin 2025, contre un bénéfice net de $15.5 million un an plus tôt. Cette perte provient principalement de $84.7 million de baisses de juste valeur des investissements et d'une perte HEI de $12.9 million, tandis que les revenus de mortgage banking se sont renforcés à $40.9 million (contre $18.9 million). Le produit net d'intérêts est retombé à $13.8 million en raison de la forte hausse des charges d'intérêts sur les ABS et la dette.
Au bilan, l'actif total est passé de $18.26 billion à $21.33 billion, porté par des prêts à la consommation résidentielle de $14.20 billion. Les titres adossés à des actifs émis ont augmenté à $15.99 billion. Les capitaux propres ont diminué à $1.05 billion. Les liquidités et trésorerie restreinte totalisaient $448.2 million. La direction a créé un nouveau segment Legacy Investments pour présenter les actifs non stratégiques en run-off ou destinés à la cession.
Redwood Trust meldete für das Quartal zum 30. Juni 2025 einen erheblichen Verlust von $98.5 million, verglichen mit einem Nettogewinn von $15.5 million ein Jahr zuvor. Der Verlust resultierte vor allem aus $84.7 million an Rückgängen im beizulegenden Zeitwert von Investments und einem HEI-Verlust von $12.9 million, während die Erträge aus dem Mortgage Banking auf $40.9 million (nach $18.9 million) zulegten. Das Nettozinsergebnis sank auf $13.8 million, da die Zinsaufwendungen für ABS und Verbindlichkeiten stark anstiegen.
In der Bilanz stiegen die Gesamtaktiva von $18.26 billion auf $21.33 billion, angeführt von Wohnverbraucherdarlehen in Höhe von $14.20 billion. Ausgegebene asset-backed securities erhöhten sich auf $15.99 billion. Das Eigenkapital sank auf $1.05 billion. Barmittel und gebundenes Bargeld beliefen sich auf $448.2 million. Das Management richtete ein neues Segment Legacy Investments ein, um nicht zum Kerngeschäft gehörende Vermögenswerte, die im Run-off sind oder veräußert werden sollen, gesondert zu berichten.
Positive
- Mortgage banking income strengthened to $40.9 million for the quarter (up from $18.9 million), showing improved origination and risk-management results.
- Total assets grew to $21.33 billion from $18.26 billion, led by an increase in residential consumer loans to $14.20 billion.
- Cash and restricted cash increased to $448.2 million at June 30, 2025, providing liquidity headroom.
- Management created a Legacy Investments segment to isolate non-core assets and improve transparency of core operations.
Negative
- Large net loss of $98.5 million for Q2 2025 (basic loss per share $0.76), versus net income of $15.5 million in Q2 2024.
- Significant investment fair value losses of $84.7 million in the quarter and $89.9 million year-to-date, which materially drove the loss.
- Net interest income compressed to $13.8 million as interest expense on ABS and debt increased substantially (ABS interest expense $198.5 million this quarter).
- Elevated credit stress in investor loans: unsecuritized bridge loans show high 90+ day delinquencies (unpaid principal balance $196.4 million) and foreclosures (UPB $77.2 million).
- High operating cash usage of $(4.07) billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, funded by sizable securitization and borrowing activity.
Insights
TL;DR: Large fair-value losses produced a material quarterly loss despite stronger mortgage banking revenue and loan growth.
Redwood's Q2 decline to a $(98.5) million loss reflects mark-to-market volatility in its investment portfolio: investment fair value declines of $84.7M and HEI losses were the dominant drivers. Mortgage banking performance improved materially, with $40.9M in mortgage banking income, supporting fee generation and originations activity. Net interest income compressed to $13.8M as interest expense on ABS issued and other debt rose substantially. The balance sheet expanded—total assets rose to $21.33B—largely from growth in residential consumer loans. Investors should note the interplay between fair-value exposure and securitization funding; the consolidated VIE and ABS volumes meaningfully affect reported earnings volatility.
TL;DR: Credit and liquidity metrics show growth in funded loans and ABS funding, but rising delinquencies and loan modifications raise portfolio risk.
Residential consumer loans grew to $14.20B and ABS issued increased to $15.71B, expanding funded exposure. The company disclosed elevated 90+ day delinquencies and foreclosure balances within its residential investor bridge portfolio (e.g., unsecuritized bridge 90+ day UPB of $196.4M and foreclosures of $77.2M UPB). Loan modifications and forbearance activity included cumulative modified UPB of $363M in the quarter, with deferred interest features noted. Operating cash used was significant ($(4.07)B six months), offset by financing inflows, which underscores reliance on securitization funding and capital markets execution. These items increase credit and funding sensitivity and contributed to the negative impact on equity and earnings.

Note 1. Organization
Redwood Trust, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a specialty finance company focused on several distinct areas of housing credit where we provide 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, joint ventures and our publicly traded shares. 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 four segments: Sequoia Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, Redwood Investments and Legacy Investments.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we established Legacy Investments as a new reportable segment to separately disclose financial results for assets that are no longer aligned with our core strategic objectives. These assets, which stem from a change in the manner in which the operations are evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), include our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term portfolios, certain securities in our third-party securities portfolio and other non-core legacy assets that are intended for sale, runoff, or other forms of disposition as part of our ongoing strategic realignment. See Note 4 for further discussion on our reportable segments, including the new Legacy Investments segment.
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 Redwood Investments.
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, 2024.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements presented herein are as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Certain disclosures typically included in our annual financial statements may be condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements, as permitted. The disclosures included in these interim financial statements are intended to 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, 2024. 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, 2025 and results of operations for all periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
In the first quarter of 2025, on the consolidated balance sheets, we combined the presentation of Residential consumer loans, held-for-sale and Residential consumer loans, held-for-investment within Residential consumer loans and Residential investor loans, held-for-sale and Residential investor loans, held-for-investment within Residential investor loans, respectively. Additionally, to provide more granularity on certain accounts, we broke out Other investments on the consolidated balance sheets into two separate asset categories titled Servicing investments and Strategic investments. Related to this change, on the consolidated statements of income, we broke out Other income (loss), net into two income categories referred to as Servicing income, net and Fee income, net. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of this change. In the first quarter of 2025, for the presentation of our segment financial statements, we also allocated interest expense on our secured revolving financing facility from Corporate/Other to Redwood and Legacy Investments. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of this change. All prior period amounts related to the changes in this document were conformed to this presentation.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation - (continued)
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we updated the names of our segments: Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking to Sequoia Mortgage Banking, Residential Investor Mortgage Banking to CoreVest Mortgage Banking and our Investment Portfolio to Redwood Investments. There were no changes to the classifications of account balances as a result of these updates. Additionally in 2024, we combined the presentation of Short-term and Long-term debt within Debt obligations, net, as applicable. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of this change. All prior period references in this document were conformed to these presentations.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the entities where the Company has a controlling financial interest. The method for determining whether a controlling financial interest exists varies depending on whether the entity is a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE").
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 16 for further information about VIEs. For entities that are not VIEs, we have a controlling financial interest in entities where we hold a majority of the voting rights. We use the equity method to account for our interest in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest, but over which we have significant influence.
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 on our consolidated balance sheets. 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. The Asset-Backed securities (“ABS”) issued to third parties by these entities are shown under ABS issued. See Note 17 for further discussion on ABS issued. The underlying HEI at the consolidated HEI securitization entities are shown under Home equity investments on our consolidated balance sheets and the associated fair value changes and interest expense associated with ABS issued are shown under HEI income, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). See Note 10 for further discussion on HEI.
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. We account for the co-investors' interests as non-controlling interests, see Note 15 for further discussion.
See Note 16 for further discussion on Principles of consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
Included in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 is a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This ASU requires incremental disclosures primarily related to the reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate, as well as income taxes paid. 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 anticipate that the new guidance will result in additional disclosures and plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." This ASU requires additional disclosures on disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items including employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. 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.
The Company reviewed other recently issued ASUs and determined that they were not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements when adopted or did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Note 4. Segment Information
Redwood operates in four segments: Sequoia Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, Redwood Investments and Legacy Investments. This segmentation aligns with the results of operations presented to our CODM in reviewing the Company for performance assessment and resource allocation. We identify our CODM to be a group consisting of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer.
Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources on each respective segment primarily based on segment net income (loss), also referred to as segment contribution, which is also used to assess the annual budget and forecasting process and to consider budget-to-actual variances when allocating capital and personnel to the segments throughout the year.
In the second quarter of 2025, we identified and began reporting Legacy Investments as a new reportable segment, based on how the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources. Previously included within Redwood Investments, this segment now consists of assets that are no longer strategically aligned with our core business strategies or with how we evaluate operational performance, allocate capital, and measure the success of our investment initiatives, and are primarily associated with our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios, certain securities within our third-party securities portfolio, and other non-core legacy assets. These assets are generally in runoff or other forms of disposition, and the CODM reviews financial results for this segment separately from other investments to inform strategic decisions regarding capital deployment and portfolio realignment. This change in segment presentation aligns with how management currently assesses performance under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, and has been applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All prior period disclosures have been conformed accordingly. This change had no impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 for further discussion on our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios.

Note 4. Segment Information - (continued)
The accounting policies applied to the segments are the same as those described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, with the exception of allocations of certain corporate expenses not directly assigned or allocated to one of our four segments. These unallocated corporate expenses are included in the Corporate/Other column as reconciling items to our consolidated financial statements and primarily include interest expense for our senior notes, convertible and exchangeable senior notes, and trust preferred securities, indirect general and administrative expenses and other expense. In the normal course of business, loans are originated and acquired at our mortgage banking segments and may subsequently be transferred to our Redwood Investments segment either as whole loans or through the retention of securities from securitizations we sponsor and consolidate under GAAP. Our loans are accounted for under the fair value option or at the lower of cost or market value for which the carrying value approximates the fair value. Amounts transferred between segments are accounted for at fair value at the time of transfer. 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, 2024.
The following tables present financial information by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

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 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 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 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, 2025, 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, 2024.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities that are reported at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as well as the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs used to measure fair value.

(1)The predominant valuation technique used to determine our Level 3 fair value assets and liabilities is based on the discounted cash flow model.
(2)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.
(3)Values represent pricing inputs used in a securitization pricing model. Credit spreads represent spreads to applicable swap rates unless specified otherwise.
(4)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 ("CFE"). At June 30, 2025, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL Term, Freddie Mac SLST, and Freddie Mac K-Series was $611 million, $330 million, $257 million and $36 million, respectively. At June 30, 2025, the fair value of our securities in the three CAFL Bridge loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election and our HEI securitization entities was $38 million and $51 million, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we elected the fair value option for $13 million and $21 million of securities, $2.98 billion and $5.31 billion (principal balance) of residential consumer loans, and $432 million and $893 million (principal balance) of residential investor loans. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we elected the fair value option for $4 million and $6 million of newly originated HEI.
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 values due to impairment. REO in Other Assets and Liabilities are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based upon fair value determinations using appraisals, broker price opinions, comparable properties or other indications of value.
Refer to Note 15 for further information on our REO.

We originate and invest in residential investor loans, including term loans and bridge loans. As of June 30, 2025, certain residential investor loans were classified as HFS in connection with our ongoing strategic realignment. In the three months ended June 30, 2025, we established Legacy Investments as a new reportable segment, to present financial results for assets that are managed separately based on how the CODM evaluates capital allocation decisions and assesses performance in accordance with our segment reporting framework. As of June 30, 2025, $886 million of legacy unsecuritized bridge loans and $50 million of legacy unsecuritized term loans were reported in the Legacy Investments segment. These loans are classified as HFS and are managed within the Legacy Investments segment due to their characteristics and strategic prioritization, consistent with how the CODM reviews and evaluates the business. See Note 4 for further discussion on our reportable segments, including the new Legacy Investments segment.
The following table summarizes the classifications and carrying values of the securitized and unsecuritized residential investor loans at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Nearly all of the outstanding residential investor term loans at June 30, 2025 were first-lien, fixed-rate loans with original maturities of three, five, seven, or ten years .
The outstanding residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment at June 30, 2025 were first-lien, interest-only loans with original maturities of 8 to 36 months and were comprised of 43 % one-month SOFR-indexed adjustable-rate loans, and 57 % fixed-rate loans.
The change in fair value of residential investor loans from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 reflects both realized and anticipated changes in portfolio performance and composition. The overall decline in fair value was primarily attributable to the

REDWOOD TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)
Note 8. Residential Investor Loans - (continued)
unsecuritized residential investor bridge loan portfolio, which decreased to $949 million at June 30, 2025 from $1.12 billion at December 31, 2024. This decline was driven by fair value losses recognized during the period, which was the result of elevated delinquencies—particularly among 2021 and 2022 vintage bridge loans—and continued strategic sales and runoff of these loans as part of the Company's accelerated repositioning strategy.
Fair value changes also reflect the impact of loan modifications during the period, particularly extensions and interest deferrals, which may have resulted in downward adjustments to loan valuations. These modifications were predominantly related to bridge loans with underlying project delays, borrower financial stress, or market-driven refinancing challenges. The fair value impact of such modifications is incorporated into the Company’s valuation models and contributed to the overall movement in loan values during the period. Refer to the Loan Modifications section of this footnote for further details on these modifications.
At June 30, 2025, we had $435 million in commitments to fund additional advances on existing residential investor bridge loans. See Note 19 for additional information on these commitments.

See Note 12 for additional information on these joint ventures.
(3)Transfers of unsecuritized residential investor term loans between portfolios represents the transfer of loans from held-for-sale to held-for-investment associated with consolidated term securitizations. Transfers of unsecuritized bridge loans, represents the transfer of residential investor bridge loans from "Unsecuritized Bridge" to "Securitized Bridge" resulting from their inclusion in one of our bridge loan securitizations, which generally have replenishment features for a set period of time from the closing.
Securitized Residential Investor Loans Held-for-Investment
We invest in securities issued by securitizations sponsored by CoreVest and consolidate the underlying residential investor term loans and bridge loans owned by these entities. For loans held at our consolidated securitization entities, market value changes are based on the fair value of the associated ABS issued, including securities we own, pursuant to CFE guidelines, and are recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). We did not elect to account for three of our Bridge securitizations under the CFE guidelines, but have elected to account for the loans in these securitizations at fair value, and changes in fair value for these loans are recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Note 8. Residential Investor Loans - (continued)
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 other instances, including in the case of Build for Rent ("BFR") loans, a loan modification may amend the project's underlying budget (including allocation of hard/soft costs, interest reserves, and other items) or construction or completion milestones, if warranted, based on progress versus the initial budget. Because they finance the construction of rental housing, many BFR projects do not generate net operating income until the later stages of the loan term. As such, BFR loans are sized to include allocations for interest expense as well as construction costs and other standard budget items. We utilize a rigorous and consistently implemented fair value process when evaluating these loans, which involves management’s review of updated appraisals, collateral performance, sales cost estimates, and independent market data when available. This approach, conducted in accordance with GAAP, is designed to ensure valuations reflect current conditions and project-specific risks. The actual amounts ultimately recovered—whether through foreclosure, collateral sale, or alternative resolutions, such as discounted payoffs or loan sales—may differ significantly from our estimates and could materially affect future earnings. 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 months ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we made modifications to our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios. These modifications included adjustments to the contractual interest rates. In certain cases, these adjustments involve deferrals of interest. Some modifications are limited to extensions of loan maturities and/or covenant terms.
We may also offer maturity extensions, subject to mandatory partial repayments during the loan term. In certain cases, we implement a hard cash management structure (enabling Redwood, as the lender, to control all cash flows at the property) and establish interest reserves to cover potential debt service shortfalls. Any shift in our intended exit strategy could have implications for the valuation of these loans. Additionally, we may further modify loans that were previously modified. These subsequent modifications may include changes to the contractual interest pay rate and deferred interest terms.
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, consistent with our strategic transition away from non-core legacy assets, we classified certain modified and legacy loans as held-for-sale and evaluated these assets for impairment in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. These classifications and related fair value measurements reflect updated expectations regarding the timing and manner of recovery, and incorporate observable market data, recent comparable asset sales, and other valuation inputs, as appropriate.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we modified or put into forbearance loans with a total aggregate unpaid principal balance of $363 million and $353 million, respectively. This balance included modifications to the contractual interest rates (including, in certain cases, deferrals of interest) on loans, modifications involving only extensions of loan maturities and/or covenant terms and further modifications on loans that had been previously modified in a prior period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we modified loans primarily involving adjustments to contractual interest pay rates (including, in certain cases, deferrals of interest) with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $60 million and $167 million, respectively. Modifications on these loans maintained a contractual interest rate of approximately 8.91 % and 8.64 %, respectively, of which 3.72 % and 5.39 % represented deferred interest, respectively. Of this population, we further modified loans that had been previously modified in a prior period, with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $25 million and $24 million, respectively. The further modifications on these loans involved one or more of: (i) additional amendments to the contractual interest pay rate and deferred interest, (ii) maturity extensions (subject to mandatory partial repayments during the loan term) and (iii) establishment of a hard cash management structure (enabling Redwood, as the lender, to control all cash flows at the property), along with funding interest reserves to cover debt service shortfalls.

Note 8. Residential Investor Loans - (continued)
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we modified loans by extending maturities and/or covenant terms with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $303 million and $186 million, respectively. Of this balance, we further modified loans that had been previously modified in a prior period. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of these loans totaled $169 million and $103 million, respectively. While we continue to actively engage 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 financial stress could lead to realized credit losses. 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 routine asset management outcome for these loans, irrespective of market conditions. When we provide these types of maturity extensions, our asset management function also seeks to charge a fee. For the second quarter of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024, the average length of maturity extensions granted on residential investor bridge loans was under five months and four 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.
A loan is generally 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. At the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued but uncollected interest is written off against interest income and interest subsequently collected is recognized on a cash basis when it is received. A loan remains on non-accrual status until 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, recoverability on the estimated net equity in the underlying real estate property or both.
At June 30, 2025, residential investor loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $718 million and an aggregate fair value of $595 million, respectively, were on non-accrual status. Of this balance, loans with $261 million aggregate unpaid principal balance were on full non-accrual of the contractual coupon interest and loans with $457 million aggregate unpaid principal balance were on non-accrual of deferred interest.
Note 9. Real Estate Securities
We invest in real estate securities that we create and retain from our unconsolidated jumbo loan securitizations or acquire from third parties. The following table presents the fair values of our real estate securities by type at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Our real estate securities include mortgage-backed securities, which are classified 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. Exclusive of our re-performing loan securities, nearly all of our residential securities are supported by collateral that was designated as prime at the time of issuance.

At December 31, 2024, our consolidated balance sheets included 90 AFS securities, of which 20 were in an unrealized loss position and 11 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Credit impairments on our AFS securities are recorded in earnings using an allowance for credit losses, with the allowance limited to the amount by which the security's fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. 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). The allowance for credit losses is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and is measured as the difference between the beneficial interest’s amortized cost and the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the effective interest rate used to accrete the beneficial interest. No allowance is recorded for beneficial interests in an unrealized gain position. At June 30, 2025, our allowance for credit losses related to our AFS securities was $0.8 million.

Note 10. Home Equity Investments (HEI)
We have historically invested in HEI contracts from third party originators, however, we ceased new investments in third-party originated HEI contracts and began originating HEI directly in 2023 through our own Aspire HEI platform. 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.
We co-sponsor 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 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.
In the second quarter of 2025, we began reporting our third-party originated HEI portfolio within the Legacy Investments segment, consistent with how the CODM evaluates financial performance and allocates resources across our reportable segments.
The following table presents our HEI at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Joint Ventures
In the second quarter of 2023, we established a joint venture with an institutional investment manager to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture was $2 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 the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized net equity method losses of $0.1 million and net equity method gains of $0.1 million, respectively, through Other income, net in our Consolidated statements of income.

In the first quarter of 2024, we established a joint venture with another institutional investment manager to invest in residential investor bridge and term loans originated by us. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture was $7 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, and 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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 we recognized net equity method earnings of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, through Other income, net in our Consolidated statements of income.
In the second quarter of 2025, Redwood and this joint venture entity entered into a promissory note receivable with a taxable subsidiary of the joint venture entity. The note provides for a total revolving credit facility of up to $150 million, with interest accruing at one-month SOFR plus a spread. Interest payments are due quarterly and may be paid in cash or capitalized as payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest. The note receivable matures on June 1, 2031 with two optional one-year extensions available at the joint venture's election, and can be prepaid at any time without penalty. At June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on this note receivable was $8 million and is included in Other Investments in Table 12.1 above. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $0.1
In the first quarter of 2025, we made a minority equity investment in a newly-formed mortgage loan origination company focused on originating construction loans for builders of single-family homes. In connection with our investment, this mortgage loan origination company committed to sell loans it originates to Redwood and future capital partners. At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of our investment in this company was $3 million. We account for our investment under the equity method of accounting as we currently have a minority non-controlling interest equal to 35 % in this company, and we are deemed to be able to exert significant influence over the affairs of this company. 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. As this company continues to ramp up operations, we did not recognize any net equity method earnings for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we acquired $25 million of residential construction loans from this company.

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 11 and Note 16 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, 2025, the carrying value of their interests was $23 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, 2025, we allocated $2 million and $4 million, respectively, 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 10 for a further discussion of the HEI securitizations. We account for the co-investors' interests in the HEI securitization entities as liabilities, and at June 30, 2025, the carrying value of their interests was $90 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, 2025, the third-party investors' share of earnings, net from their retained interests was $2 million and $7 million, respectively, recorded through HEI income, net on our consolidated statements of income.

This transaction involved the transfer and securitization of bridge loans contributed from the joint venture and from Redwood through one bridge securitization entity. Each of the joint venture and Redwood retained its proportionate share of subordinate beneficial interests issued by the securitization entity. We account for the joint venture's interest in the bridge loan securitization entity as a liability and at June 30, 2025, the carrying value of their interest was $18 million, representing the fair value of their economic interest in the beneficial

Note 16. 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. See Note 2 for further information on our accounting policies regarding our Principles of consolidation.
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
For certain of our consolidated VIEs, we have elected to account for the assets and liabilities of these entities pursuant to the measurement alternative available to CFEs. 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. GAAP 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 fair value or amortized cost. These include two CAFL bridge loan securitizations and a Freddie Mac SLST re-securitization for which the ABS are accounted at amortized cost and two Sequoia re-securitizations for which the ABS are accounted at fair value. See Note 17 for additional information regarding the Sequoia re-securitizations.
The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(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. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of our interests in the CAFL term loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $330 million and $326 million, respectively. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of our interest in the CAFL bridge loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election was $38 million and $29 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. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of our interests in the Freddie Mac SLST securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $257 million and $242 million, respectively, with the difference from the tables above representing ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost.
(2)Additionally, the ABS from three and two Sequoia re-securitizations at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are not accounted for under the CFE election and are accounted for at fair value (included within the Sequoia column at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024). At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of our interests in consolidated Sequoia securitizations accounted for under the CFE election was $611 million and $418 million, respectively, with the difference in value of our investments in these VIEs reflected in the June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 table above representing $106 million and $79 million, respectively, of consolidated Sequoia securities in the Sequoia re-securitizations and $382 million and $184 million, respectively, of ABS issued at fair value.

We have transferred residential consumer loans to certain Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of June 30, 2025, 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.

At December 31, 2024 includes ABS issued from one consolidated VIE entity formed in connection with the financing of residential investor bridge loans sponsored by our joint ventures.
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, 2025, the majority of the ABS issued and outstanding had contractual maturities beyond five years . See Note 16 for detail on the carrying value components of the collateral for ABS issued and outstanding.
During the second quarter of 2025, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of an entity formed in connection with a rated bridge loan securitization (presented within CAFL in Table 17.1 above at June 30, 2025) and sponsored by our joint venture. We determined the entity was a VIE for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. We elected to account for the entity under the CFE election and account for the ABS issued at fair value, with the entire change in fair value of the ABS issued recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. At June 30, 2025, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $284 million, and the net carrying value was $283 million. The weighted average stated coupon of the ABS issued was 6.2 % at issuance. The ABS issued by the CAFL bridge entity are subject to an optional redemption in November 2027 and beginning in December 2027, the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 1.00 % through final maturity in May 2040. The ABS issued by this securitization were collateralized by $215 million of residential investor bridge loans, $96 million of restricted cash and $5 million of other assets at June 30, 2025. The securitization is structured with $300 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 24 months of the transaction (through May 2027), unless an amortization event occurs prior to the expiration of the 24 -month reinvestment period. Amortization trigger events include, among other events, delinquency rates or default rates exceeding specified thresholds for three consecutive periods, or the effective advance rate exceeding a specified threshold.

In April 2025, we transferred subordinate securities we owned in certain consolidated and unconsolidated Sequoia securitization trusts to a Sequoia re-securitization trust that we sponsored, which we determined was a VIE. At issuance, we sold $109 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties at a discount and elected to account for the ABS issued under the fair value option, with changes in the fair value of the ABS reported through our consolidated statements of income in Investment fair value changes, net. The stated weighted average coupon of the ABS issued was approximately 8.0 % at issuance, increasing by 3.0 % after the payment date occurring in April 2027. The ABS issued are subject to an optional redemption beginning in April 2027 and have a final stated maturity in October 2055. At issuance, we retained 100 % of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. We maintained certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the trust and as such, we consolidated the trust. At June 30, 2025, the collateral for the Sequoia re-securitization trust included $3 million of third-party securities as well as $148 million of Sequoia securities that we have retained from certain consolidated Sequoia securitization entities. The Sequoia re-securitization ABS are included in "Sequoia" in Table 17.1 above at June 30, 2025. See Note 16 for further information regarding our Principles of consolidation on this trust.
In February 2025, we transferred subordinate securities we owned in certain consolidated and unconsolidated Sequoia securitization trusts to a Sequoia re-securitization trust that we sponsored, which we determined was a VIE. At issuance, we sold $100 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties at a discount and elected to account for the ABS issued under the fair value option, with changes in the fair value of the ABS reported through our consolidated statements of income in Investment fair value changes, net. The stated weighted average coupon of the ABS issued was approximately 8.5 % at issuance, increasing by 3.0 % after the payment date occurring in January 2027. The ABS issued are subject to an optional redemption beginning in January 2026 and have a final stated maturity in May 2055. At issuance, we retained 100 % of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. We maintained certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the trust and as such, we consolidated the trust. At June 30, 2025, the collateral for the Sequoia re-securitization trust included $20 million of Sequoia securities we owned from unconsolidated Sequoia securitization trusts as well as $85 million of Sequoia securities that we have retained from certain consolidated Sequoia securitization entities. The Sequoia re-securitization ABS are included in "Sequoia" in Table 17.1 above at June 30, 2025. See Note 16 for further information regarding our Principles of consolidation on this trust.

Lease Commitments
At June 30, 2025, we were obligated under nine non-cancelable operating leases with expiration dates through 2031 for $14 million of cumulative lease payments. For both the six-months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our operating lease expense was $2
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we entered into two new office leases with a lease term of greater than one year .
At June 30, 2025, our operating lease liabilities were $12 million, which were a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities, and our operating lease right-of-use assets were $10 million, which were a component of Other assets.
Commitment to Fund Residential Investor Bridge Loans
As of June 30, 2025, we had commitments to fund up to $435 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, 2025, we carried a $1 million contingent liability related to these commitments to fund construction advances. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded net market valuation income of $0.4 million, respectively, related to this liability through Investment of fair value changes, net and on our consolidated statements of income.
As of June 30, 2025, we had commitments to purchase $3 million of residential investor bridge loans from a third-party originator.
Commitment to Fund Joint Ventures
In the first quarter of 2024, we entered into a joint venture with an institutional investment manager 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, 2025, we had contributed $25 million of capital to the joint venture.
In the second quarter of 2023, we entered into a joint venture with another institutional investment manager 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, 2025, we had contributed $5 million of capital to the joint venture.
For additional information related to our commitments and contingencies, see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Loss Contingencies — Repurchase Reserves
We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential consumer loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties, residential investor loans we have sold to third parties, and conforming residential consumer loans 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, as applicable. 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, 2025, we were not aware of any material unsettled repurchase claims for these groups of sold loans.
For residential investor term loans sold to securitization trusts, we record estimated losses on loans we are required to repurchase through Investment fair value changes, net as a component of the loan fair value for the corresponding CFE. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, as a result of a repurchase claim from earlier in 2025, we repurchased two residential investor term loans from a securitization trust with an unpaid principal balance of $36 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $13 million of valuation losses related to these loan repurchases through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. At June 30, 2025, these residential investor terms loans were classified as held-for-sale on our consolidated balance sheets.

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 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 GAAP 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 21 for discussion on the impact of the Warrants on earnings per common share.
For additional information related to our equity, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Stock Repurchases

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, 2025 and 2024, none of our convertible or exchangeable senior 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 senior 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, 2025, 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 average market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants.
For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, 30,479,037 34,537,361 and 35,105,457 of common shares related to the assumed conversion of our convertible and exchangeable senior notes, were antidilutive and were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the number of outstanding equity awards that were antidilutive totaled 22,796 and 45,247 common shares. 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.

Note 23. Taxes
The Company's effective income tax rate differs from the federal corporate tax rate of 21.0%, primarily as a result of state taxes and REIT GAAP income not subject to federal income tax.
The Company's effective tax rate was (15.1 )% and 10.6 % for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
We assessed our tax positions for all open tax years (i.e., Federal, 2021 to 2025, and State, 2020 to 2025) at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and concluded that we had no uncertain tax positions that resulted in material unrecognized tax benefits.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company has a valuation allowance of $118 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 $27 million at June 30, 2025, as it believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

Our Business
Redwood Trust, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a specialty finance company focused on several distinct areas of housing credit where we provide 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, joint ventures and our publicly traded shares. 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 four segments: Sequoia Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, Redwood Investments and Legacy Investments.
In the second quarter of 2025, we announced our decision to accelerate our strategic transition towards a more scalable and simplified operating model, which involves meaningfully reducing exposure to holdings that now reside outside of our core operating footprint. As part of this transition, we identified and began reporting a new reportable segment, Legacy Investments, which was previously included within the Redwood Investments segment and primarily consists of assets no longer aligned with our core strategic objectives and involves positions primarily linked to legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios, third-party securities portfolio, third-party originated HEI, and other non-core legacy assets. These assets are in the active process of sale, runoff, or other disposition as part of the accelerated strategic repositioning of our business model noted above. Legacy Investments segment is expected to wind down over time as the assets are sold or otherwise resolved.
For a full description of our segments, see Part 1, Item 1—Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. For further information on our segments, see Note 4 in Part 1, Item 1 - Financial Statements and Results of Operations by Segment in Part 1, Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW
Business Update
Our second quarter results reflect our decision to accelerate Redwood’s strategic transition toward a more scalable and simplified operating model. This decision comes as we see avenues for growth across our operating platforms that can be transformative —particularly amid evolving market dynamics in single-family housing finance, shifts in bank lending practices and potential outcomes related to changes in housing policy within the Federal government, including potential outcomes related to the future structure and role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In light of this, we took decisive steps to begin to meaningfully reduce exposure to portfolio holdings that now reside outside of our core operating footprint. These include our legacy unsecuritized bridge loans, third-party securities portfolio, and other non-core legacy assets, such as third-party originated HEI, the vast majority of which we have held for years. While these investments were initially aligned with our strategy and return thresholds, some are valued at a level that is attractive for sale to lock in gains, while others have underperformed as interest rates have risen and have become a significant drag on our forward earnings. In assessing the shifts now occurring in housing finance, and the growth potential of our mortgage banking platforms – where capital allocation has grown by over $200 million in the past year and where we have generated combined GAAP returns in excess of 20% in each of the past four quarters – the opportunity cost of allowing legacy investments to naturally run off has prompted us to more proactively reposition our capital.
This strategic transition and capital repositioning is supported by the fact that our operating platforms have been swiftly increasing in scale. The retrenchment by banks in mortgage lending has enabled Redwood to meaningfully expand loan acquisition volumes and market share, even as overall housing activity remains subdued. As part of this trend, through our network we have seen increased demand from bank counterparties for capital-efficient solutions that address a broader segment of their loan production.
The decision to accelerate the wind-down of our legacy portfolio resulted in approximately $(0.79) per share of fair value and repositioning charges in the second quarter, as we moved forward with liquidations, term financings, or other resolutions for these assets. This was the primary contributing factor to a reduction in our GAAP book value per share to $7.49 at June 30, 2025, as compared to $8.39 at March 31, 2025. We expect to free up $200 to $250 million in capital from these legacy investments by year-end 2025, which we plan to redeploy into our operating platforms and into other uses to support a more stable earnings profile and streamlined revenue mix.
In support of this transition, we recently began repurchasing our common shares, buying back 1.6 million common shares in June 2025 and an additional 2.5 million common shares during the third quarter through August 7, 2025. In July 2025, our Board increased our common stock repurchase authorization to $150 million.
With respect to our second quarter operating performance, Redwood’s mortgage banking platforms continue to profitably grow amidst a complex environment. The impact of “Liberation Day” tariff announcements at the outset of the second quarter caused financial markets to enter a tariff-driven decline from which there seems to have been a temporary recovery. Our posture early in the second quarter was appropriately cautious, but our operating activity quickly rebounded, and we finished with sequential growth in overall mortgage banking revenues, closing with particularly strong activity in June that has sustained into the third quarter. Our mortgage banking platforms continued to deliver combined GAAP returns above 20%, reflecting a broadening operating footprint despite a sustained slowdown in overall housing market activity.
Sequoia’s jumbo loan lock volume for newly originated or "current coupon" loans in the second quarter of 2025 was its highest since 2021. Amidst sluggish home purchase activity and in a market bereft of meaningful mortgage loan refinance activity, this growth highlights the significant progress we have made in expanding our "wallet share" across both bank and non-bank loan sellers. We are encouraged by the continued depth and diversification of our sourcing network, which exceeds 200 loan sellers with no significant volume concentrated with any one of these sellers.
Second, our Aspire platform, which commenced acquiring expanded residential loan products (also referred to as "non-QM loans") in January, gained meaningful traction in the second quarter, driven by growing lock volume sourced from an increasing number of originators. Aspire’s lock volume tripled compared to the first quarter of 2025. We are in the early stages of leveraging our existing Sequoia seller network to grow Aspire, as many long-time jumbo-loan sellers begin insourcing direct origination of these types of products. These established relationships are now complemented by an expanding group of new non-QM loan sellers who recognize Redwood’s ability to deliver innovative solutions across a variety of home lending products. Given Aspire’s current growth trajectory and relative scale, we remain confident in the platform’s significant potential.
Our business purpose lending platform, CoreVest, funded over $500 million in loans during the second quarter, marking its highest volume since mid-2022. Borrower loyalty remains strong, as evidenced by our high repeat-customer rate during the quarter—an important indicator of stability amid signs of housing stress in select regions. Our diligent approach to credit risk, including targeted credit overlays, tightened leverage in more vulnerable markets, and enhanced structural protections, continues to support strong loan performance and deepening distribution channels. Moreover, strategic hires within our small-balance product segment have significantly contributed to CoreVest’s volumes and positioned the platform for continued prudent growth.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Within this Results of Operations section, in accordance with Item 303(c)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K, we have elected to discuss any material changes in our results of operations by comparing our quarter ended June 30, 2025 to the immediate preceding quarter ended March 31, 2025. We believe that providing a sequential discussion of our results of operations offers highly relevant information for investors and stakeholders to understand and analyze our business activities. Additionally, we generally continue to address material changes in our results of operations for the most recent fiscal year-to-date period, compared to the corresponding year-to-date period of the preceding fiscal year, pursuant to Item 303(c)(2)(i) of Regulation S-K. 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 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased by $14 million during the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an $11 million decline from our Legacy Investments segment. The decrease was largely due to an increase in the balance of our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios on non-accrual during the quarter, which in certain cases caused a reversal of prior quarter net interest income. This segment was previously included within Redwood Investments, and primarily consists of assets no longer aligned with our core strategic objectives and involves positions primarily linked to legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios, our third-party securities portfolio, and other non-core legacy assets. These assets are in the active process of sale, runoff, or other disposition as part of accelerated strategic repositioning of our business model. This segment is expected to wind down over time as the assets are sold or otherwise resolved.
Sequoia Mortgage Banking contributed $3 million lower net interest income due to lower volume as total lock volumes fell by 10% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Furthermore, a large, seasoned bulk portfolio that we locked in the first quarter and settled in the second quarter lowered the gross coupon on our pipeline relative to the first quarter.
Additional detail on net interest income is provided in the “Net Interest Income” section that follows.
Mortgage Banking Activities, Net
Mortgage Banking activities, net increased by $8 million during the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher CoreVest Mortgage Banking revenues.
The increase in CoreVest Mortgage Banking activities of $6 million was primarily attributable to improved economics from whole loan sales and joint venture executions, as we saw a 38% increase in loan distribution volume to $583 million, the highest level of quarterly distribution in CoreVest's history. Increased volume and our origination mix contributed to the increase in revenue, as loan fundings increased by 6% to $509 million, compared to the prior quarter. Notably we saw higher originations of higher-margin term loans.
The increase in Sequoia Mortgage Banking activities of $2 million was primarily attributable to a strong execution on loan sales despite a 10% decline in total lock volume from the prior quarter, as well as outperformance of this segment's interest rate hedges. Gain-on-sale margins expanded to 131 basis points, exceeding historical averages, and distribution activity remained robust, with $2.9 billion of loans distributed.
A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Sequoia Mortgage Banking Segment” and “CoreVest Mortgage Banking Segment” sections that follows.
Investment Fair Value Changes, Net
Investment fair value changes, net declined by $80 million, resulting in a loss of $85 million during the second quarter of 2025. The decline was primarily driven by negative fair value adjustments on our legacy unsecuritized bridge loans, and to a lesser extent, legacy unsecuritized term loans, reflecting both realized and anticipated near-term resolutions on these loans and other non-core legacy assets, as well as changes in the underlying performance of certain legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios. In the second quarter of 2025, we began reporting these loans as part of our Legacy Investments segment.
A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Redwood Investments Segment” and "Legacy Investments Segment" section that follows.
HEI Income, net
HEI income, net decreased by $23 million, resulting in a loss of $13 million during the second quarter of 2025. This was primarily driven by a $14 million fair value loss on our third-party originated HEI portfolio, which are legacy HEI options originated by third-parties and primarily acquired between 2019 and 2022. This fair value change reflected an anticipated near-term disposition, as we intend to a substantial portion of the portfolio during the third quarter of 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, we began reporting this HEI portfolio as part of our Legacy Investments segment. Furthermore, HEI income, net declined due to negative fair value adjustments due to a slowdown in home price appreciation and prepayment speeds during the quarter.
Additional detail on our HEI income is presented in Table 10.3 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
64
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $4 million during the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher portfolio management costs related to specially-serviced residential investor bridge loans.
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 tax provision for the second quarter of 2025 declined by $2 million, primarily due to losses related to legacy residential investor loans and a reduction in our estimated effective tax rate, reflecting a favorable change for us based on California’s tax apportionment methodology for financial institutions.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased by $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decline was largely due to an increase in the balance of our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios on non-accrual during the second quarter of 2025, which in certain cases caused a reversal of prior period's net interest income. In addition, corporate interest expense rose by $6 million due to higher unsecured debt balances and fully utilizing the maximum capacity under the secured revolving financing facility established in 2024.
These decreases were partially offset by net interest income from Sequoia and CoreVest mortgage banking, including a $17 million increase from Sequoia, driven by higher loan purchase volumes, capital deployment into certain interest rate hedging instruments, and lower base floating rates on our financing facilities as SOFR declined over 90 basis points between June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025. CoreVest mortgage banking also contributed $1 million increase in net interest income.
Additional detail on net interest income is provided in the “Net Interest Income” section that follows.
Mortgage Banking Activities, Net
Mortgage Banking activities, net increased by $40 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, due to both higher Sequoia Mortgage Banking and CoreVest Mortgage Banking revenues.
The increase in Sequoia Mortgage Banking activities, net of $32 million was primarily attributable to a 71% year-over-year increase in lock volumes during the six-month period. Lock volume for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 totaled $7.6 billion, compared to $4.4 billion for the period ended June 30, 2024 as 2025 volumes were supported by continued strength across both flow and bulk executions, including the bulk purchase of a $1.0 billion seasoned loan portfolio in the first quarter of 2025. This also included $441 million of loans locked by Aspire, a mortgage banking business initiative that was newly established in 2025. Sequoia achieved gain-on-sale margins of over 100 basis points, exceeding typical historical levels, and distributed $4.9 billion of loans in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The increase in CoreVest Mortgage Banking activities, net of $8 million was primarily attributable to higher funding volumes, totaling $991 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a 26% increase to the same period in 2024. The increase also reflected improved margins and execution economics, supported by strong demand for residential transition (RTL) loans, Term loans, and DSCR loans, as well as active securitization, whole loan sale and joint venture activity across the platform.
A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Sequoia Mortgage Banking Segment” and “CoreVest Mortgage Banking Segment” sections that follows.
Investment Fair Value Changes, Net
Investment fair value changes, net changed by $113 million, from a $23 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to a $90 million net loss in the same period in 2025. The decline was primarily related to impairments and adverse fair value adjustments reflecting both realized and anticipated near-term resolutions on our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios and other non-core legacy assets, as well as changes in the underlying performance of certain Legacy bridge loans. These losses were partially offset by fair value gains, net of associated interest rate hedges, on our securities portfolio, which benefited from tighter credit spreads during the period.

A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Redwood Investments Segment” and "Legacy Investments Segment" section that follows.
HEI Income, net
HEI income, net decreased by $28 million, from a $25 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to a $3 million loss in the same period in 2025. This was primarily driven by driven by similar trends as described above for the three-month periods in the section above, including the anticipated sale of a substantial portion of this portfolio in the third quarter of 2025.
Additional detail on our HEI income is presented in Table 10.3 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 by $17 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period ended in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in fixed compensation associated with hiring directly at our operating platforms to support higher volumes and profitability, as well as higher variable and equity compensation expense and higher portfolio management costs related to specially serviced residential investor bridge loans.
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 increase of $5 million for the tax provision in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily the result of a higher effective rate and higher income from mortgage banking activities at our TRS compared to the same period ended June 30, 2024.

(1)Average balances for residential consumer loans, residential investor loans, and trading securities are calculated based upon carrying values, which represent 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 securitized loans reflect activity from consolidated VIEs. 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)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.

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, 2025 to the immediate preceding quarter ended March 31, 2025 and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2024.
Corporate/Other
Net expense from Corporate/Other remained essentially flat quarter-over-quarter, with no material change between the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, net expenses increased by $10 million, primarily due to an increase in variable and fixed compensation expense associated with additional headcount, and higher interest expense related to higher corporate debt balances for the first half of 2025, which also carried a higher interest rate than that of the convertible debt which matured in 2024.
Sequoia 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 Redwood Investments 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 Redwood Investments segment. We typically acquire prime jumbo mortgages and the related mortgage servicing rights on a flow or bulk 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 income is Mortgage banking income, which is comprised of net interest income from its inventory of loans held-for-sale, securities utilized for interest rate 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 Redwood investments portfolio, and the hedges used to manage risks associated with these activities. 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. Direct operating expenses and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.
In the first quarter of 2025, we launched an additional mortgage loan conduit under our Aspire brand that acquires mortgage loans under expanded underwriting criteria, which we also refer to as "non-QM", as well as DSCR mortgage loans. While we may report this activity as a separate standalone segment in the future, we are including its results within our Sequoia Mortgage Banking segment until this additional conduit activity reaches sufficient scale.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
The decrease in segment contribution in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, is primarily due to lower lock volumes, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale margins and hedge outperformance. Total lock volume for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.6 billion and reflects a 10% decrease from the prior quarter but a 35% increase compared to the $2.7 billion reported in the second quarter of 2024 (see discussion in the section following for the six-month periods). Note that the quarter over quarter difference was primarily driven by a $1.0 billion seasoned bulk pool that we committed to purchase in the first quarter of 2025. Total lock volume in the second quarter of 2025 included $3.3 billion in Sequoia jumbo locks and $330 million from Aspire's mortgage banking activities.
The lock activity was marked by an increase in on-the-run (or current coupon) production volume, which rose 15% quarter over quarter despite a temporary pullback in April due to tariff-related market volatility. Notably, this was the highest quarter of on-the-run lock volume since 2021, a time when the jumbo mortgage origination market was more than three times the size it is today. The strength of our lock volume is supported by ongoing inroads with our network of 214 loan sellers, a number of which includes some of the largest bank and non-bank jumbo originators in the market.
Gain on sale margins remained above historical targets, at 131 basis points, compared to 123 basis points in the prior quarter and above the long-term target range of 75 to 100 basis points. This improvement was supported by favorable execution conditions and strong institutional demand for Sequoia’s securitized and whole loan offerings.
71
Distribution activity remained robust, with $2.9 billion of loans distributed during the quarter ($2.0 billion of which was through securitization and $0.9 billion of which was through whole loan sales), representing the most active distribution period since the second quarter of 2021. Sequoia continued to maintain its leadership in the jumbo loan RMBS market, completing four securitizations (three of which were backed by newly-originated loans and one of which was backed by seasoned loans) representing approximately 40% of all non-bank jumbo loan securitization volume year-to-date, underscoring its dominant market position.
The seller network also expanded meaningfully. Aspire, included under Sequoia Mortgage Banking, added new loan originators during the quarter, with its total seller network growing by 60% quarter over quarter to approximately 40 sellers. Notably, over 85% of Aspire’s current sellers overlap with the Sequoia network, pointing to cross-platform leverage and operational integration.
Adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) activity remained elevated as a share of total locks, reaching approximately 10% of total Sequoia volume in the second quarter, in line with levels seen in the first quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024, but up from just 0.3% in 2023. This trend reflects borrower demand for affordability solutions amid persistently elevated interest rates.
Aspire locked $330 million in expanded loans during the second quarter, marking a 197% increase quarter over quarter. Volume composition was split between 67% Bank Statement and 33% DSCR products, and 30% of total volume came from new sellers. Aspire also completed its first whole loan sales during the quarter, a notable milestone as it scales within the non-QM market.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our cost per loan was 26 basis points (calculated as operating expenses divided by loan purchase commitments), compared to 21 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, representing ongoing efficiency of our platform. We continue to evaluate monetary policy, housing trends and economic data, among other factors, in developing our interest rate hedging strategy and we expect to continue to leverage a variety of instruments as hedges, including TBAs, interest rate futures, real estate securities, options and other types of securities.
Operating expenses for this segment increased for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the preceding quarter, 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 and equity compensation due to improved segment performance for the three-months ended June 30, 2025.
Capital allocation to this segment was $475 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $425 million at March 31, 2025 due to higher loan purchases during the second quarter of 2025. We continue to competitively bid on bulk jumbo loan acquisition opportunities, including newer vintage and seasoned collateral and both fixed and adjustable-rate mortgages while also focusing on forward flow agreements. Looking ahead, we are focused on continuing to gain market share with our seller network, including as it relates to supporting our bank partners with balance sheet solutions for their legacy collateral.
We utilize a combination of capital and our residential consumer loan warehouse facilities to finance our inventory of residential consumer loans held-for-sale. At June 30, 2025, we had residential consumer warehouse facilities outstanding with $2.96 billion of total capacity and $1.69 billion 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 $400 million of total capacity and marginable facilities with $2.56 billion of total capacity.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Segment contribution from Sequoia Mortgage Banking increased significantly to $48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, up from $17 million in the prior-year period, an improvement of $31 million. This increase was driven by a substantial rise in income from mortgage banking activities from higher loan lock volumes and distribution activities, and ongoing operational efficiency.
Mortgage banking income (which includes net interest income and non-interest income from mortgage banking activities, net) totaled $80 million through June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $49 million or 157% compared to $31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This growth was supported by strong performance across both flow and bulk acquisition channels, particularly from bank sellers, which saw enhanced engagement throughout the first half of 2025.
Total loan locks during the period reached $7.6 billion, up from $4.4 billion in the first half of 2024 — an increase of over 71%. This sharp growth reflects both a broadening of Sequoia's seller network, deepening of wallet share across existing relationships and an increase in bulk activity, as evidenced by a $1.0 billion seasoned pool that was locked during the first quarter of 2025.
Aspire, included in this segment's reported results, contributed $441 million in lock volume during the six months ended June 30, 2025, with the second quarter locks reaching $330 million, a 197% increase from the prior quarter. Aspire’s seller network increased by 60% during the second quarter to approximately 40 originators, and over 85% of these sellers also do business with Sequoia. Aspire also completed its first whole loan sale during the second quarter of 2025, marking a key milestone as the platform scales into an expanding non-QM market.
72
Key performance trends such as gain-on-sale margins, cost per loan, and operating efficiency followed a similar trajectory in the year-to-date comparison as observed in the quarter-over-quarter period, with both timeframes reflecting elevated margins, stable efficiency metrics (as measured primarily by cost per loan), and scaled distribution execution.
Distribution activity in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was elevated across securitization and whole loan activity with $4.9 billion distributed relative to $2.8 billion for the period ended June 30, 2024. Sequoia also sustained its leadership in the private-label RMBS market. Through the first half of 2025, it remained the top non-bank issuer of jumbo mortgage-backed securities, executing approximately 40% of non-bank jumbo securitization activity and operating with turn times twice as fast as peers.
Operating expenses increased to $16 million year-to-date, up from $11 million in the prior-year period. The increase reflects higher loan acquisition costs and volume-based variable compensation as loan activity scaled. Provision for income taxes increased from $3 million to $17 million, aligning with improved profitability.
Capital allocated to the Sequoia Mortgage Banking segment rose to $475 million at June 30, 2025, up from $300 million at June 30, 2024, consistent with the segment's growth trajectory and expanded pipeline.
CoreVest Mortgage Banking Segment
This segment consists of a platform that originates residential investor loans for subsequent securitization, sale, or transfer into our investment portfolio or into joint ventures. 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 three to thirty years) or "bridge" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range between six and 36 months). Term loans are mortgage loans secured by stabilized 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) single-family 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. In some instances, for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty based on specific facts and circumstances, we may amend or modify certain terms of our bridge loans. These modifications and amendments include interest rate reductions and extended maturity dates. In other instances, we extend maturities in the normal course of business, generally for between three to six months on average. These extensions are usually provided to align with updated rehabilitation timelines on the underlying properties. In addition to modifying 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 the initial budget and timelines.
We typically distribute most of our term loans through our CAFL® private-label securitization program, through whole loan sales or into our joint ventures. We typically transfer our residential investor bridge loans to our Redwood Investments portfolio, where they will either be retained for investment, securitized, sold as whole loans or distributed into joint ventures.
Since mid-2023, we have established joint ventures with two separate institutional investment managers, one in the second quarter of 2023 to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by CoreVest and another in the first quarter of 2024 to invest in residential investor bridge and term loans originated by CoreVest. We 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 Redwood Investments portfolio, and gains/losses from associated hedges. Fee income associated with our administration of joint ventures and other loan-related administrative functions is also included in this segment. Direct operating expenses and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
The increase in segment contribution in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to increased funding volume and improved distribution activity. Total loan fundings for the quarter were $509 million, up 6% from the prior quarter and 11% from the same period last year. Notably, this marked the highest quarterly origination volume for CoreVest since mid-2022, and underscored continued growth in borrower demand across all product lines. Product composition remained well diversified. RTL loans accounted for 33% of originations, with production also diversified across Term loans (39%), Bridge loans (22%), and DSCR loans (6%). RTL loans, Term loans, and DSCR all experienced growth of more than 20% from the prior quarter, highlighting CoreVest’s strategic positioning across small-balance and cash-flow-based investor segments.
The platform continues to benefit from borrower appetite for financing solutions in the single-family rental market, particularly as builders shift toward forward sales into rental communities. Management believes CoreVest has seen repeat activity with top-tier sponsors and is actively capturing market share from traditional bank lenders.
Distribution activity was notably strong, with $583 million of loans sold or participated during the quarter — a 38% increase from the prior quarter and the most active distribution period in the segment’s history. This included the completion of CoreVest's inaugural rated bridge loan securitization, backed by $284 million of RTL and other Bridge products. These distributions were otherwise executed through a combination of whole loan sales and sales to our joint ventures.
Net cost to originate (calculated as operating expenses, less upfront origination fees, divided by origination volumes) improved to 0.94% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 1.22% in the first quarter of 2025. The stability in net cost to originate reflects CoreVest’s operating leverage and disciplined approach to expense management, even as volumes continue to scale.
CoreVest continues to operate in a large and expanding market, particularly for RTL and DSCR products, which together we estimate to be a $245 billion total addressable market. Management believes CoreVest remains well-positioned to capture increased share through platform depth, distribution relationships, and consistent borrower engagement.
Capital allocated to this segment was $93 million at June 30, 2025, down from $106 million at March 31, 2025. The platform remains focused on capital-efficient growth strategies, including ongoing engagement with JV partners and non-recourse financing structures to support its scaling loan inventory. Our inventory of loans is managed with a combination of our capital and loan warehouse facilities. At June 30, 2025, total warehouse capacity was $2.18 billion, with $1.48 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).
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
CoreVest segment contribution increased $14 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is attributable to higher mortgage banking income, driven by an increase in total loan funding volumes and robust distribution via whole loan sales and joint ventures. Funded volume for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $991 million compared to $785 million for the period ended June 30, 2024, representing a 26% increase. All strategies saw growth over the period through growth was particularly notable in products of strategic focus such as RTL (54%) and DSCR (86%) loans. Term (18%) and bridge (7%) loans witnessed more modest gains.
Distribution activity for the sixth months ended June 30, 2025 was also elevated compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, CoreVest distributed $991 million of loans compared to $785 million of loans for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 26%. A significant driver of the increase in distribution activity in 2025 compared to the same period 2024 was the establishment of our joint venture with CPP Investments, which was announced in March 2024 and became active in the third quarter of 2024. Net cost to originate improved from 2.61% in early 2024 to 0.94% in the second quarter of 2025, supported by increased operational scale without significant growth in operating expenses.

Redwood Investments Segment
This segment consists of retained operating investments sourced through our Sequoia securitizations and CoreVest term and bridge loan securitizations, some of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes, and other third-party securities.
In the second quarter of 2025, as a part of the Company's accelerated shift towards a scalable and simplified operating model and wind-down of the legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios, third-party securities portfolio, and other non-core legacy assets held in this segment historically were formally reclassified to the newly established Legacy Investments segment. This reclassification did not impact the consolidated financial results but served to streamline reporting and better align Redwood’s disclosure with its strategic focus. All relevant prior period amounts and disclosures have been conformed to reflect the current segment structure.
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. We currently target returns related to capital deployment opportunities of between 15-20% on our Redwood Investments portfolio.
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 Redwood Investments segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the immediate preceding quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2024.

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 interest rate hedges associated with these investments. See Table 3 in the Consolidated Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2 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 3 relates to fair value changes for investments held at corporate/other).
We hold certain of our investments, primarily our MSRs, at our TRS. Activity of this segment that is performed within our TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes was primarily due to GAAP losses generated by this segment’s operations at our TRS and our provision for income taxes at this segment is primarily driven by the amount of income earned from portfolio assets.
76
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
The decrease in segment contribution during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, is due to the $13 million decline in Investment fair value changes, net. This decline was driven by muted asset valuation gains, driven by the lower impact of spread tightening in the second quarter of 2025 relative to the first quarter of 2025.
Fundamental performance of assets within this segment saw consistent trends in underlying credit and continue to be driven by relatively healthy employment data, embedded equity protection associated with loan seasoning and home price appreciation, and borrowers motivated to stay current on their low-coupon mortgages. Notably, 90 day+ delinquencies on our Sequoia Securities, CAFL Term Securities and retained bridge securities were stable-to-improving in the second quarter 2025 at 0.3%, 7.1% and 3.6% of our total unpaid principal balances, respectively, compared to 0.2% and 8.4% and 3.8% at March 31, 2025.
As we continue to expand our focus on our operating platforms, we intend to allocate capital accordingly. In line with this strategy, during the second quarter we deployed approximately $100 million into retained operating investments, targeting returns in the range of 15% to 20%.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
The decrease in segment contribution in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 is due to the decline in Investment fair value changes, net of $46 million driven by similar trends as mentioned above.
The following table presents details of our Redwood Investments Portfolio at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 organized by investments in retained securities from Sequoia and CoreVest securitizations and those acquired from third-parties.

For GAAP purposes, we consolidated $423 million of loans and $387 million of ABS issued associated with these investments at June 30, 2025.

(6)Represents our economic investment in consolidated Servicing Investment variable interest entities. At June 30, 2025, for GAAP purposes, we consolidated $263 million of servicing investments and $161 million of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, as well as other assets and liabilities for these entities. At December 31, 2024, for GAAP purposes, we consolidated $262 million of servicing investments and $159 million of non-recourse securitization debt, as well as other assets and liabilities for these entities.
The size of our Redwood Investments portfolio increased since December 31, 2024, primarily due to the retention of $249 million of securities from the seven Sequoia securitizations during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as an increase in securitized residential investor bridge loans as a result of securitization sponsored by our joint venture during the three months ending June 30, 2025, which we consolidate for GAAP purposes. These increases were offset by the sales of $115 million of non-strategic third-party securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to facilitate the rotation of capital toward our operating platforms and retained operating investments throughout the remainder of 2025. At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 93% and 87% of our Redwood Investments portfolio economic interests were retained interests from our securitizations or securitized bridge loans, respectively, and 7% and 13% were purchased from third parties, respectively. See the Investments Detail and Activity section that follows for additional detail on our portfolio investments and their associated borrowings.

Legacy Investments Segment
In the second quarter of 2025, we established Legacy Investments as a new reportable segment. This new segment primarily consists of assets no longer aligned with our core strategic objectives, including legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loans, third-party securities portfolio and other non-core legacy assets. These assets were previously included within the Redwood Investments segment, and are in the active process of sale, runoff, or other disposition as part of accelerated strategic repositioning of our business model. This segment is expected to wind down over time as the assets are sold or otherwise resolved. We expect to free up $200 to $250 million in capital from these legacy investments by year-end 2025, which would be available to redeploy into our operating platforms, related investments, or other uses. All relevant prior period amounts and disclosures have been conformed to reflect the current segment structure.
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 or disposition of assets. 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 Legacy Investments segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the immediate preceding quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2024.

We hold certain of our investments at our TRS. Activity of this segment that is performed within our TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes was primarily due to GAAP losses generated by this segment’s operations at our TRS and our provision for income taxes at this segment is primarily driven by the amount of income earned from portfolio assets.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
The decrease in segment contribution during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, is due to the $67 million decline in Investment fair value changes, net and $23 million decline in HEI income, net. In the second quarter of 2025, we recognized valuation losses on our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios, third-party securities portfolio, and other non-core legacy assets, reflecting adverse market developments and anticipated near-term resolutions on these assets, as well as changes in the underlying performance of certain Legacy bridge loans, reflecting increased delinquencies and credit stress in certain 2021 and 2022 vintage loans. These loans were underwritten during a period of significantly lower interest rates and more favorable financing conditions and different market fundamentals. During the second quarter, we took additional steps to reduce our exposure to this portfolio, including loan and REO sales, and other structured exits.
The decline in HEI income, net was primarily driven by negative fair value adjustments due to a slowdown in home price appreciation during the second quarter of 2025, as well as a $14 million fair value loss on our third-party originated HEI portfolio. The latter of which reflects the anticipated near-term sale of a substantial portion of this portfolio.
Capital allocated to Legacy Investments declined by $107 million or 17% at June 30, 2025 from March 31, 2025, largely due to paydowns, sales and fair value adjustments of our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios and the sale, or pending sale, of non-core third-party securities portfolio and other legacy assets. Looking ahead, we intend to continue reducing our capital allocation to Legacy Investments, targeting a decrease to approximately 20% by year-end 2025 from 33% at the end of the second quarter. This would allow us to potentially reallocate up to $200 to $250 million of capital to our core mortgage banking platforms over time. While subject to market conditions and execution timing, our long-term goal is to bring the percentage of our capital allocated to Legacy Investments down to a range of 0% to 5% by the end of 2026. As we execute on this reallocation strategy, we believe there is an opportunity for consolidated returns to improve.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
The decrease in segment contribution in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 is due to the decline in Investment fair value changes, net of $67 million and the decline in HEI income, net of $28 million, driven by similar trends as mentioned above.
Investments Detail and Activity
This section presents additional details on our securities portfolio, home equity investments and unsecuritized residential investor loans held in this segment and their activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Home Equity Investments
In the second quarter of 2025, we began reporting our third-party originated HEI portfolio as part of our Legacy Investments segment, as substantial portion of these HEI investments are expected to be sold or disposed of as part of an accelerated strategic repositioning of our business model. At June 30, 2025, $238 million of unsecuritized HEI and $341 million of securitized HEI were included in the Legacy Investments segment, as presented in the table below.

At June 30, 2025, there was $90 million of debt outstanding on this warehouse facility, secured by HEI with a fair value of $171 million. At June 30, 2025, for GAAP purposes, we consolidated $341 million of HEI, $206 million of ABS and $90 million of third-party non-controlling interests held in our consolidated HEI securitization entities, for a net economic interest of $51 million.
Additional details on our HEI are included in Note 10 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, interest income, net recognized on Legacy bridge and term loans totaled $9 million and $28 million, respectively. These amounts include a net write-off of deferred interest of $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and recognition of $4 million of deferred income during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in net interest income recognized in the three-month period was due to an increase in the balance of our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios on non-accrual during the quarter.
At June 30, 2025, legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loans in this portfolio with an aggregate fair value of $186 million and an unpaid principal balance of $274 million, were greater than 90+ days delinquent. Included in the 90+ days delinquent balance are legacy bridge loans in foreclosure with an aggregate fair value of $35 million and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $53 million. Additionally, the fair value of REO associated with legacy unsecuritized bridge loans decreased from $66 million at March 31, 2025, to $58 million at June 30, 2025, resulting from dispositions and a decrease in fair value totaling $9 million, partially offset by transfers to REO of $8 million.
In the second quarter of 2025, the fair value of the legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios declined by $69 million. This decline was driven by fair value losses recognized during the period, reflecting adverse market developments and anticipated near-term resolutions on these loans, as well as changes in the underlying performance on certain of these loans, particularly those of the 2021 and 2022 vintage. These valuations are subject to a rigorous fair value process for our residential investor loans, which consistently includes regular management reviews of underlying property fundamentals and the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, updated third-party appraisals, estimated sales costs, and independent market data verification where available. 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.
Fair value changes also reflect the impact of loan modifications during the period, particularly extensions and interest deferrals, which may have resulted in downward adjustments to loan valuations. These modifications were predominantly related to bridge loans with underlying project delays, borrower financial stress, or market-driven refinancing challenges. The fair value impact of such modifications is incorporated into the Company’s valuation models and contributed to the overall movement in loan values during the period.
Loan Modifications
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we made modifications to certain Legacy bridge loans, including adjustments to the contractual interest rates. In certain cases, these adjustments involved deferrals of interest. Other modifications were limited to extensions of loan maturities and/or covenant terms.
We may also offer maturity extensions, subject to mandatory partial repayments during the loan term. In some cases, we will establish a hard cash management structure (to enable Redwood, as the lender, to control all cash flows at the property) and fund interest reserves to cover potential debt service shortfalls. Any shift in our intended exit strategy could have implications for the
83
valuation of these loans. Additionally, we may further modify loans that were previously modified. These subsequent modifications may include further changes to the contractual interest pay rate and deferred interest terms.
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, consistent with our strategic transition from non-core legacy assets, we have adopted a more aggressive approach to resolving modified and legacy loans, accelerating the wind-down of underperforming or non-core legacy assets to proactively reduce long-term exposure. This includes advancing loan and REO sales, executing structured exits, and, where necessary, accelerating foreclosure or liquidation processes on assets with limited workout potential.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we modified or put into forbearance loans with a total aggregate unpaid principal balance of $363 million. This balance included modifications to the contractual interest rates (including, in certain cases, deferrals of interest) on loans, modifications involving only extensions of loan maturities and/or covenant terms and further modifications on loans that had been previously modified in a prior period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we modified loans primarily involving adjustments in contractual interest rates (including, in certain cases, deferrals of interest) with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $60 million, of which $25 million had been previously modified in a prior period. Modifications on these loans maintained a weighted average contractual interest rate of approximately 8.91% of which 3.72% represented deferred interest, respectively. The further modifications on these loans involved one or more of: (i) additional amendments to the contractual interest pay rate and deferred interest, (ii) maturity extensions (subject to mandatory partial repayments during the loan term) and (iii) establishment of a hard cash management structure (to enable Redwood, as the lender, to control all cash flows at the property), along with funding interest reserves to cover debt service shortfalls.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we modified loans by extending maturities and/or covenant terms with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $303 million, of which $169 million had been previously modified in a prior period. While we continue to actively engage 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 financial stress could lead to realized credit losses. 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 routine asset management outcome for these loans, irrespective of market conditions. When we provide these types of maturity extensions, our asset management function also seeks to charge a fee. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the average length of maturity extensions granted on residential investor bridge loans was under five months.
The following table provides the composition of legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loans by product type as of June 30, 2025.

(1) Includes loans to finance acquisition and/or stabilization of existing housing stock or to finance new construction of residential properties for rent.
(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, 2025, the fair value of our Legacy bridge and term loans and associated REO represented 84.8% 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 ($483 million at June 30, 2025) and associated multifamily REO ($21 million at June 30, 2025), represented 84.9% 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. As part of our strategic shift away from non-core legacy assets, we have revised our underwriting practices to discontinue the active origination of large multifamily loans. Consequently, we expect our exposure to multifamily loans and REO to decline over time as we proactively reduce long-term exposure to the Legacy bridge loan portfolio.
84
We finance our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios with a combination of recourse and non-recourse, non-marginable warehouse facilities, and a portion of a secured, revolving financing facility. At June 30, 2025, we had $594 million of debt incurred through warehouse facilities, which was secured by unsecuritized residential investor bridge and term loans with a fair value of $879 million. At June 30, 2025, unsecuritized bridge and term loans with a fair value of $511 million were financed with $335 million of non-marginable, recourse warehouse facilities. At June 30, 2025, unsecuritized bridge and term loans with a fair value of $367 million were financed with $262 million of non-marginable, non-recourse warehouse facilities. Additionally, at June 30, 2025, our Legacy bridge loans were partially financed by secured, revolving financing facility borrowings.
Income Taxes
REIT Status and Dividend Characterization
While the exact amount is uncertain at this time, we currently expect a portion of our 2025 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 gains. We currently expect all of our 2025 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 2025 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 2025 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 the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded tax provisions of $5 million and $11 million, respectively. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded tax provisions of $5 million. 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 increase in the tax provision year-over-year was primarily the result of increased GAAP income earned at our TRS in 2025 compared to 2024. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the caption Income Taxes for additional information regarding our tax provision and deferred tax assets.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB Act”) was enacted on July 4, 2025. The OBBB Act contains various provisions which will impact the Company, including restoring the taxable REIT subsidiary limit to 25%, permanently reinstating 100% bonus depreciation, and increasing interest deduction limits, among other various federal income tax law changes. The OBBB Act had no impact to the income tax provision during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and the Company is currently evaluating the impact to the consolidated financial statements in future quarters but does not expect the impact to be material.
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 and HEI 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, 2025, our total capital was $1.81 billion, consisting of (i) $1.05 billion of equity capital, (ii) $745 million of unsecured and other corporate debt on our consolidated balance sheets (including $124 million of exchangeable debt due in October 2025, $247 million of convertible debt due in 2027, $145 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2029, $90 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2030 and $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037), and (iii) $11 million of promissory notes.
At June 30, 2025, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $302 million. In addition, our unencumbered assets of approximately $125 million at June 30, 2025 represent assets that could be pledged on a secured financing basis to provide another source of liquidity, as needed. 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
85
investments, to fund strategic acquisitions and investments, or for other purposes. In particular, we continue to focus on additional joint ventures with strategic investors who seek to acquire the assets our operations originate and source and/or seek to provide capital to support the growth potential of our operating platforms. 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 and recourse and non-recourse debt. Refer to the section set forth below under the heading "Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Borrowing Facilities" for additional information regarding these terms that describe our debt.
At June 30, 2025, in aggregate, we had $2.53 billion of secured recourse debt outstanding, financing our mortgage banking operations and investment portfolio, of which $1.42 billion was marginable and $1.11 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 Borrowing Facilities."
Repurchase Authorization
Our Board of Directors previously approved authorizations for the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common stock, the repurchase up to $70 million of our preferred stock, and the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 1.6 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of $9 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 we did not repurchase any shares of our preferred stock or of our convertible and exchangeable debt. At June 30, 2025, $92 million of the previously approved 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.
In July 2025, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $150 million of our common stock, and continued its previous authorizations for the repurchase of up to $70 million of our preferred stock, and the repurchase of our outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. This authorization replaced our previous $125 million common stock repurchase authorization. This authorization has no expiration date and does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. During the third quarter of 2025, we have continued to repurchase shares of our common stock and we are evaluating the potential for additional common share repurchases, given the current trading price of our common shares, relative to the book value per share of our common stock currently outstanding. 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, 2025
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
Cash flows used in operating activities decreased by $1.15 billion from negative $2.92 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to negative $4.07 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the increase in residential consumer loan purchases as well as an increase in originations of residential investor loans held for sale associated with our mortgage banking activities. 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 $4.11 billion of net cash outflows for the six months 2025 period, compared to $2.97 billion of net cash outflows for the six month 2024 period), cash flows from operating activities were positive $43 million during the first six months of 2025 and positive $51 million for the first six months of 2024.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net cash provided by investing activities was $1.64 billion and primarily resulted from proceeds from principal payments on loans held-for-investment and other investments, 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.
86
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net cash provided by financing activities was $2.56 billion. This primarily resulted from $2.35 billion of net borrowings under ABS issued (resulting from the issuance of six Sequoia securitizations as well as the issuance of $100 million and $109 million of ABS through two Sequoia re-securitizations of certain consolidated and unconsolidated Sequoia securities during the six months ending June 30, 2025, net of related issuance costs), and $281 million of net borrowings on debt obligations. During the six months ending June 30, 2025, net cash provided from debt obligations included the issuance of $90 million of senior notes as well as a $93 million recourse subordinate financing facility providing non-marginable debt financing of certain securities retained from our Sequoia securitizations and other third-party securities.
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, 2025, include maturing debt obligations, interest payments on debt obligations and ABS issued, payments on operating leases, funding commitments for residential investor and consumer loans, strategic investments, potential repurchases of previously sold or securitized loans, and other current payables. Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations beyond the twelve months following June 30, 2025, 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 Redwood Investments).
At June 30, 2025, we had commitments to fund up to $435 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. At June 30, 2025, we had $1.48 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, 2024 under the caption Contractual Obligations. For additional information on commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2025 that could impact our liquidity and capital resources, see Note 19 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 18 to the Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Our 5.75% exchangeable senior notes mature in October 2025 and have an outstanding principal balance of $124 million at June 30, 2025. We expect to utilize cash on hand to repay our exchangeable senior notes that are maturing, which will reduce the amount of cash that can be deployed into our business and could reduce the earnings potential of our business. Further, if market rates for corporate capital remain elevated and we chose to issue new corporate capital, it could negatively impact our profitability.
We expect to meet our obligations coming due in less than one year from June 30, 2025 most likely from borrowings under existing, new or amended financing arrangements, or through other previously mentioned sources of capital including cash on hand. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $125 million of unencumbered assets, and we currently estimate we could generate incremental capital through financing certain of these assets. Our unencumbered assets consist primarily of interest-only securities, retained securities from our securitization activities, bridge loans, and HEI.
See Note 18 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our debt obligations.
87
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.
At June 30, 2025, we had residential consumer warehouse facilities outstanding with $2.96 billion of total capacity and $1.69 billion of available capacity. These included non-marginable facilities with $400 million of total capacity and marginable facilities with $2.56 billion of total capacity. At June 30, 2025, we had non-marginable, residential investor warehouse facilities outstanding available to finance our unsecuritized residential investor loans in our Redwood Investments, CoreVest Mortgage Banking and Legacy Investments segments with $2.18 billion of total capacity and $1.48 billion of available capacity. Borrowing under these facilities used to finance our CoreVest Mortgage Banking loan inventory at June 30, 2025 totaled $110 million. We note that several of these facilities used to finance our CoreVest Mortgage Banking loan inventory are also used to finance bridge loans held in our Legacy Investments portfolio at June 30, 2025.
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 six-months ended June 30, 2025, and have other such facilities with scheduled maturities during the next twelve months. See Note 18 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the loan warehouse facilities used for our Mortgage Banking operations.
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 Borrowing Facilities" that follows within this section.
Liquidity Needs for our Redwood Investments
At June 30, 2025, in addition to our ABS issued, our investment portfolio was financed with $514 million of secured recourse debt, of which $178 million was marginable and $336 million was non-marginable, and $1.3 billion of secured non-recourse debt that was non-marginable. At June 30, 2025, we have also allocated $43 million of outstanding borrowings from our secured revolving financing facility to finance our Redwood Investments segment. Our secured revolving financing facility may be used to finance both our Redwood Investments, Sequoia and CoreVest mortgage banking operations, as well as Legacy Investments.
We use various forms of secured recourse and non-recourse debt to finance assets in our investment portfolio. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the caption Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information regarding our forms of financing assets in our investment portfolio, as well as for our descriptions of what constitutes non-recourse and non-marginable debt.
See Note 17 and Note 18 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our asset-backed securities issued and debt obligations, respectively.
Liquidity Needs for our Legacy Investments
At June 30, 2025, we financed our Legacy Investments with a combination of recourse and non-recourse, non-marginable residential investor loan warehouse facilities, a recourse non-marginable HEI facility, and non-recourse securitization debt (ABS issued). At June 30, 2025, we have also allocated $208 million of outstanding borrowings from our secured revolving financing facility to finance our Legacy Investments segment.
Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the caption Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information regarding our forms of financing for our investments, as well as for our descriptions of what constitutes non-recourse and non-marginable debt.
See Note 17 and Note 18 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our asset-backed securities issued and debt obligations, respectively.
Corporate Capital
In addition to secured recourse and non-recourse debt we use specifically in association with our mortgage banking operations, Redwood Investments and Legacy investment portfolios, 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. See Note 18 Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 17 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 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 mortgage loans, residential investor mortgage loans, and HEI (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, 2024, under the caption(s) “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under 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.”
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, 2024 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, 2024 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, 2024 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, 2024 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 and HEI warehouse facilities, our securities repurchase facilities, and our secured revolving financing facility, while transferred or pledged mortgage loans, HEI, or securities are financed under the facility, to the extent the value of the loans, HEI, or securities, or the collateral underlying those loans, HEI, 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, 2025, only our securities repurchase facilities (with $93 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2025), seven of our residential consumer mortgage loan warehouse facilities (with a combined $1.2 billion of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2025), and a certificated MSR facility (with $85 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2025) 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, 2024 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Borrowing Facilities - Margin Call Provisions Associated With Debt Facilities 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, 2024 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Borrowing Facilities - Financial Covenants Associated With Debt Facilities and Other Debt Financing.”
At June 30, 2025, 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. Our financial covenants require us to maintain a minimum dollar amount of stockholders’ equity or tangible net worth and minimum liquidity, as well as financial covenants that require us to maintain recourse indebtedness below a specified ratio. 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, 2025, 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, 2025, our level of recourse indebtedness resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants at a level such that we could incur at least $4 billion in additional recourse indebtedness.

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, 2025, 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 6 in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, incorporated herein by reference, for the same information on these assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024. 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, 2024, 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, 2024.
In addition to the market and other 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, 2024.
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, 2024, 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, 2024.
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 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
