Residential Whole Loans Residential Whole Loans
Included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are approximately $8.1 billion and $7.5 billion, respectively, of residential whole loans generally arising from the Company’s interests in certain trusts established to acquire the loans and certain entities established in connection with its loan securitization transactions. The Company has assessed that these entities are required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Starting in the second quarter of 2021, the Company elected the fair value option for all loan acquisitions, including loans originated by Lima One subsequent to its acquisition by the Company. Prior to the second quarter of 2021, the fair value option was typically elected only for Purchased Non-performing Loans.

(1) As of June 30, 2023 Transitional loans includes $821.5 million of loans collateralized by multi-family properties with a weighted average term to maturity of 15 months and a weighted average LTV ratio of 64%. As of December 31, 2022, Transitional loans includes $632.3 million of loans collateralized by multi-family properties with a weighted average term to maturity of 18 months and a weighted average LTV ratio of 64%.
(2)Weighted average is calculated based on the interest bearing principal balance of each loan within the related category. For loans acquired with servicing rights released by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation do not reflect loan servicing fees. For loans acquired with servicing rights retained by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation are net of servicing fees.
(3)LTV represents the ratio of the total unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date. For Transitional loans, the LTV presented is the ratio of the maximum unpaid principal balance of the loan, including unfunded commitments, to the estimated “after repaired” value of the collateral securing the related loan, where available. For certain Transitional loans, totaling $296.1 million and $223.2 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, an after repaired valuation was not obtained and the loan was underwritten based on an “as is” valuation. The weighted average LTV of these loans based on the current unpaid principal balance and the valuation obtained during underwriting, is 69% and 70% at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Excluded from the calculation of weighted average LTV are certain low value loans secured by vacant lots, for which the LTV ratio is not meaningful. 60+ LTV has been calculated on a consistent basis.
(4)Excludes loans for which no Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score is available.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, Agency eligible investor loans with an unpaid principal balance of $337.8 million were sold, realizing losses, before the impact of economic hedging gains and the reversal of previously recognized unrealized losses of $72.3 million. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Agency eligible investor loan securitizations were deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements which resulted in the de-recognition of Agency eligible investor loans with an unpaid principal balance of $598.0 million. No Residential whole loans were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

(1)In connection with Transitional loans at carrying value, the Company had unfunded commitments of $6.0 million and $10.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with an allowance for credit losses of $44,000 and $110,000 at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Such allowance is included in “Other liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7).
(2)Includes $35.2 million and $71.9 million of loans that were assessed for credit losses based on a collateral dependent methodology as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(3)Includes $55.5 million and $63.8 million of loans that were assessed for credit losses based on a collateral dependent methodology as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company’s estimates of expected losses that form the basis of the Allowance for Credit Losses include certain qualitative adjustments which have the effect of increasing expected loss estimates. These qualitative adjustments were determined based on a variety of factors, including differences between the Company’s loan portfolio and the loan portfolios
represented by data available in regulatory filings of certain banks that are considered to have similar loan portfolios (available proxy data), and differences between current (and expected future) market conditions in comparison to market conditions that occurred in historical periods. Such differences include uncertainty with respect to any residual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, anticipated inflation and increasing market interest rates, and heightened political uncertainty. The Company’s estimates of credit losses reflect the Company’s expectation that the performance of its portfolio will experience higher delinquencies and defaults compared to the performance in historical periods of portfolios included in the available proxy data. Estimates of credit losses under credit losses on financial instruments (“CECL”) are highly sensitive to changes in assumptions and current economic conditions have increased the difficulty of accurately forecasting future conditions.

The amortized cost basis of Purchased Performing Loans on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $192.9 million and $195.1 million, respectively. The amortized cost basis of Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $71.8 million and $80.5 million, respectively. The fair value of Purchased Non-performing Loans on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $354.1 million and $413.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $3.8 million and $7.4 million of interest income on loans on nonaccrual status, including $2.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively, on its portfolio of loans which were non-performing at acquisition. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were approximately $57.8 million and $71.7 million, respectively, of loans held at carrying value on nonaccrual status that did not have an associated allowance for credit losses because they were determined to be collateral dependent and the estimated fair value of the related collateral exceeded the carrying value of each loan, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted two loan modifications in its carrying value loan portfolio which gave borrowers term extensions. The average increase in weighted average life was 13 months. As of June 30, 2023, the carrying value of these loans was approximately $165,000. As of June 30, 2023, these loans were both current.

(1)LTV represents the ratio of the total unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date. For Transitional loans, the LTV presented is the ratio of the maximum unpaid principal balance of the loan, including unfunded commitments, to the estimated “after repaired” value of the collateral securing the related loan, where available. For certain Transitional loans, totaling $296.1 million at June 30, 2023, an after repaired valuation was not obtained and the loan was underwritten based on an “as is” valuation. The weighted average LTV of these loans based on the current unpaid principal balance and the valuation obtained during underwriting is 69% at June 30, 2023. Certain low value loans secured by vacant lots are categorized as LTV > 80%.
