(1)The Company has both financing agreements held at fair value and financings agreements held at their carrying value (amortized cost basis). Financing agreements held at fair value are reported at estimated fair value each period as a result of the Company’s fair value option election. The fair value option was not elected for financing agreements held at carrying value. Consequently, Total financing agreements as presented reflects a summation of balances reported at fair and carrying value. At March 31, 2023, the Company had the $680.7 million of agreements with mark-to-market collateral provisions held at fair value, $526.6 million of agreements with non-mark-to-market collateral provisions held at fair value, and $2.9 billion of securitized debt held at fair value, with amortized cost bases of $680.7 million, $526.6 million, and $3.1 billion, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the Company had $884.5 million of agreements with mark-to-market collateral provisions held at fair value, $578.9 million of agreements with non-mark-to-market collateral provisions held at fair value, and $2.4 billion of securitized debt held at fair value, with amortized cost bases of $884.5 million, $578.9 million, and $2.6 billion, respectively.

(2)Weighted average cost of funding reflects annualized quarter-to-date interest expense divided by average balance for the financing agreements. The cost of funding for the total financing agreements includes the impact of the net carry (the difference between swap interest income received and swap interest expense paid) on the Company’s Swaps. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, this decreased the overall funding cost by 122 basis points, and for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, this decreased the overall funding cost by 84 basis points. The Company does not allocate the impact of the net carry by type of financing agreement.
