Note 1. Organization

Redwood Trust, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a specialty finance company focused on several distinct areas of housing credit, with a mission to help make quality housing, whether rented or owned, accessible to all American households. Our operating platforms occupy a unique position in the housing finance value chain, providing liquidity to growing segments of the U.S. housing market not well served by government programs. We deliver customized housing credit investments to a diverse mix of investors through our best-in-class securitization platforms, whole-loan distribution activities and our publicly-traded securities. Our aggregation, origination and investment activities have evolved to incorporate a diverse mix of residential, business purpose and multifamily assets. Our goal is to provide attractive returns to shareholders through a stable and growing stream of earnings and dividends, capital appreciation, and a commitment to technological innovation that facilitates risk-minded scale. We operate our business in three segments: Residential Mortgage Banking, Business Purpose Mortgage Banking, and Investment Portfolio.

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

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

Redwood 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.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements presented herein are at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") — as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) — have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements according to these SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures included in these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments have been made to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at March 31, 2022 and results of operations for all periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation - (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

In accordance with GAAP, we determine whether we must consolidate transferred financial assets and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for financial reporting purposes. We currently consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia securitization entities issued prior to 2012 ("Legacy Sequoia"), certain entities formed during and after 2012 in connection with the securitization of Redwood Select prime loans and Redwood Choice expanded-prime loans ("Sequoia"), entities formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest single-family rental and bridge loans ("CAFL") and an entity formed in connection with the securitization of home equity investment contracts ("HEIs"). We also consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and Freddie Mac Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction ("SLST") securitizations in which we have invested. Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood Trust, Inc. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained, although for certain entities we are exposed to financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor or co-sponsor, servicing administrator, collateral administrator or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.

For financial reporting purposes, the underlying loans owned at the consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST entities are shown under Residential loans held-for-investment, at fair value, the underlying loans at the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entity are shown under Multifamily loans held-for-investment, at fair value, the underlying single-family rental and bridge loans at the consolidated CAFL entities are shown under Business purpose loans held-for-investment, at fair value, and the underlying HEIs at the consolidated HEI securitization entity are shown under Other investments, at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. The asset-backed securities (“ABS”) issued to third parties by these entities are shown under ABS issued. In our consolidated statements of income, we record interest income on the loans owned at these entities and interest expense on the ABS issued by these entities as well as fair value changes, other income and expenses associated with these entities' activities. See Note 14 for further discussion on ABS issued.

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

See Note 4 for further discussion on principles of consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

Acquisitions

Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for additional information regarding the acquisitions of 5 Arches, LLC ("5 Arches") and CoreVest American Finance Lender, LLC and certain affiliated entities ("CoreVest"), including purchase price allocations.

All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded intangible asset amortization expense of $4 million. Estimated future amortization expense is summarized in the table below.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators and additionally evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets to determine if revisions to the remaining periods of amortization are warranted. We reviewed our finite-lived intangible assets and determined that the estimated lives were appropriate and that there were no indicators of impairment at March 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs")

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)." This new guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by reducing the number of accounting models to separately present certain conversion features in equity. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2022, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On March 28, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method," which will expand companies' abilities to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of portfolios of financial assets (or beneficial interests) in a fair value hedge. The ASU expands the use of the portfolio layer method (previously referred to as the last-of-layer method) to allow multiple hedges of a single closed portfolio of assets using spot starting, forward starting, and amortizing-notional swaps. The ASU also permits both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets to be included in the closed portfolio of assets hedged in a portfolio layer hedge. The ASU further requires that basis adjustments not be allocated to individual assets for active portfolio layer method hedges, but rather be maintained on the closed portfolio of assets as a whole. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date and do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On March 31, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures." ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross writeoffs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date and do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This new guidance clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. This new guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our consolidated financial statements. Through March 31, 2022, we have not elected to apply the optional expedients and exceptions to any of our existing contracts, hedging relationships, or other transactions.

We have an established cross-functional group that has evaluated our exposure to LIBOR, reviewed relevant contracts and has monitored regulatory updates to assess the potential impact to our business, processes and technology from the ultimate full cessation of LIBOR in 2023, and has established a LIBOR transition plan to facilitate an orderly transition to alternative reference rates. We continue to remain on track with our LIBOR transition plan, which requires different solutions depending on the underlying asset or liability with LIBOR exposure. At March 31, 2022, our primary LIBOR exposure included the following: $966 million of repo or warehouse debt, $381 million of interest rate swaps, $858 million of bridge loans, and $140 million of trust preferred securities and subordinated notes debt. Since December 31, 2021, certain of our contracts, such as interest rate swaps, have experienced an orderly market transition and we have transitioned a substantial portion of our derivative positions off of LIBOR-benchmarks. Other contracts, such as warehouse debt agreements, require bilateral amendments, many of which we have amended or are currently in the process of amending. We anticipate most of these facilities will be amended in 2022, with sufficient time remaining to resolve the remainder. In early 2022, we began benchmarking all newly originated bridge loans to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), and our existing portfolio of bridge loans are short-dated and we expect the vast majority to mature before the LIBOR cessation date in 2023. Additionally, as the result of recent legislation that was passed in the state of New York, our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes are expected to convert to SOFR upon the cessation of LIBOR.

Balance Sheet Netting

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

The table below presents financial assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements categorized by financial instrument, together with corresponding financial instruments and corresponding collateral received or pledged at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(1)Amounts presented in these columns are limited in total to the net amount of assets or liabilities presented in the prior column by instrument. In certain cases, there is excess cash collateral or financial assets we have pledged to a counterparty (which may, in certain circumstances, be a clearinghouse) that exceed the financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Additionally, in certain cases, counterparties may have pledged excess cash collateral to us that exceeds our corresponding financial assets. In each case, any of these excess amounts are excluded from the table although they are separately reported in our consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, respectively.

(2)Interest rate agreements and TBAs are components of derivatives instruments on our consolidated balance sheets. Loan warehouse debt, which is secured by certain residential and business purpose loans, and security repurchase agreements are components of Short-term debt and Long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.

For each category of financial instrument set forth in the table above, the assets and liabilities resulting from individual transactions within that category between us and a counterparty are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement with that counterparty that provides for individual transactions to be aggregated and treated as a single transaction. For certain categories of these instruments, our transactions generally are cleared and settled through one or more clearinghouses that are substituted as our counterparty. References herein to master netting arrangements or similar agreements include the arrangements and agreements governing the clearing and settlement of these transactions through the clearinghouses. In the event of the termination and close-out of any of those transactions, the corresponding master netting agreement or similar agreement provides for settlement on a net basis. Any such settlement would include the proceeds of the liquidation of any corresponding collateral, subject to certain limitations on termination, settlement, and liquidation of collateral that may apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a party. Such limitations should not inhibit the eventual practical realization of the principal benefits of those transactions or the corresponding master netting arrangement or similar agreement and any corresponding collateral.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation

GAAP requires us to consider whether securitizations we sponsor and other transfers of financial assets should be treated as sales or financings, as well as whether any VIEs that we hold variable interests in – for example, certain legal entities often used in securitization and other structured finance transactions – should be included in our consolidated financial statements. 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

At March 31, 2022, we consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia, CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. Each of these entities is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities of these entities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of ours. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have retained, although for certain securitizations, we are exposed to financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor, servicing administrator, collateral administrator, or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.

We also consolidate two Servicing Investment entities formed to invest in servicing-related assets that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At March 31, 2022, we held an 80% ownership interest in, and were responsible for the management of, each entity. See Note 10 for a further description of these entities and the investments they hold and Note 12 for additional information on the minority partner’s non-controlling interest. Additionally, we consolidated an entity that was formed to finance servicer advances that we determined was a VIE and for which we, through our control of one of the aforementioned partnerships, were the primary beneficiary. The servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, secured by servicer advances. We consolidate the securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. See Note 13 for additional information on the servicer advance financing. At March 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of our investment in the Servicing Investment entities was $99 million.

During 2021, we consolidated a HEI securitization entity formed to invest in HEIs that we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At March 31, 2022, we owned a portion of the subordinate certificates issued by the entity and had certain decision making rights for the entity. See Note 10 for a further description of this entity and the investments it holds and Note 12 for additional information on non-controlling interests in the entity. We consolidate the HEI securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood.

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

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

We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities, as we did not meet the GAAP sale criteria at the time we transferred financial assets to these entities. Our involvement in consolidated Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities continues in the following ways: (i) we continue to hold subordinate investments in each entity, and for certain entities, more senior investments; (ii) we maintain certain discretionary rights associated with our sponsorship of, or our subordinate investments in, each entity including rights to direct loss mitigation activities; and (iii) we continue to hold a right to call the assets of certain entities (once they have been paid down below a specified threshold) at a price equal to, or in excess of, the current outstanding principal amount of the entity’s asset-backed securities issued. These factors have resulted in our continuing to consolidate the assets and liabilities of these Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities in accordance with GAAP.

We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and SLST securitization trusts resulting from our investment in subordinate securities issued by these trusts, and in the case of certain CAFL securitizations, resulting from securities acquired through our acquisition of CoreVest. Additionally, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of Servicing Investment entities from our investment in servicer advance investments and excess MSRs. In each case, we maintain certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of these investments that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest, as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and the right to receive benefits of and the obligation to absorb losses from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs.

Analysis of Unconsolidated VIEs with Continuing Involvement

Since 2012, we have transferred residential loans to 46 Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of March 31, 2022, and accounted for these transfers as sales for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with ASC 860. 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-servicer to perform) and the receipt of interest income associated with the securities we retained.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we called three of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities, and purchased $102 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from the securitization trusts. In association with these calls, we realized a $0.3 million gain on the securities we owned from these called securitizations, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income. At March 31, 2022, we held $246 million of loans for sale at fair value that were acquired following the calls.

Analysis of Unconsolidated Third-Party VIEs

Third-party VIEs are securitization entities in which we maintain an economic interest, but do not sponsor. Our economic interest may include several securities and other investments from the same third-party VIE, and in those cases, the analysis is performed in consideration of all of our interests. The following table presents a summary of our interests in third-party VIEs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, grouped by asset type.

Table 4.8 – Third-Party Sponsored VIE Summary

(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Mortgage-Backed Securities
Senior	$	9,960	$	3,572
Subordinate	215,908		228,083
Total Mortgage-Backed Securities	225,868		231,655
Excess MSR	9,579		10,400
Total Investments in Third-Party Sponsored VIEs	$	235,447	$	242,055

We determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these third-party VIEs, as we do not have the required power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Specifically, we do not service or manage these entities or otherwise solely hold decision making powers that are significant. As a result of this assessment, we do not consolidate any of the underlying assets and liabilities of these third-party VIEs – we only account for our specific interests in them.

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

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For financial reporting purposes, we follow a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., our own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)

Footnotes to Table 5.7

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

(2)The fair value of the loans and HEIs held by consolidated entities was based on the fair value of the ABS issued by these entities and the securities and other investments we own in those entities, which we determined were more readily observable in accordance with accounting guidance for collateralized financing entities. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL SFR, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities was $246 million, $306 million, $437 million, $32 million, and $14 million, respectively.

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

(4)As a market convention, certain securities are priced to a no-loss yield and therefore do not include default and loss severity assumptions.

Determination of Fair Value

We generally use both market comparable information and discounted cash flow modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs as indicated in the preceding table. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs - such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, interest rates, or other valuation assumptions - in isolation would likely result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Included in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.

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

Note 6. Residential Loans

We acquire residential loans from third-party originators and may sell or securitize these loans or hold them for investment. The following table summarizes the classifications and carrying values of the residential loans owned at Redwood and at consolidated Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST entities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Our real estate securities include mortgage-backed securities, which are presented in accordance with their general position within a securitization structure based on their rights to cash flows. Senior securities are those interests in a securitization that generally have the first right to cash flows and are last in line to absorb losses. Mezzanine securities are interests that are generally subordinate to senior securities in their rights to receive cash flows, and have subordinate securities below them that are first to absorb losses. Subordinate securities are all interests below mezzanine. 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.

Trading Securities

We elected the fair value option for certain securities and classify them as trading securities. Our trading securities include both residential and multifamily mortgage-backed securities, and our residential securities also include securities backed by re-performing loans ("RPL").

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

At March 31, 2022, we had $12 million of AFS securities with contractual maturities less than five years, $4 million with contractual maturities greater than five years but less than ten years, and the remainder of our AFS securities had contractual maturities greater than ten years.

AFS Securities with Unrealized Losses

The following table presents the components comprising the total carrying value of residential AFS securities that were in a gross unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

December 31, 2021	7,078		(251)		6,827		1,600		(46)		1,554

At March 31, 2022, after giving effect to purchases, sales, and extinguishment due to credit losses, our consolidated balance sheet included 82 AFS securities, of which six were in a unrealized loss position and one was in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer. At December 31, 2021, our consolidated balance sheet included 85 AFS securities, of which four were in an unrealized loss position and one was in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer.

Evaluating AFS Securities for Credit Losses

Gross unrealized losses on our AFS securities were $2 million at March 31, 2022. We evaluate all securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is credit-related (resulting in an allowance for credit losses recorded in earnings) or non-credit-related (resulting in an unrealized loss through other comprehensive income). At March 31, 2022, we did not intend to sell any of our AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at their maturity. We review our AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position to identify those securities with losses based on an assessment of changes in expected cash flows for such securities, which considers recent security performance and expected future performance of the underlying collateral.

At March 31, 2022, our current expected credit loss ("CECL") allowance related to our AFS securities was $0.7 million. AFS securities for which an allowance is recognized have experienced, or are expected to experience, credit-related adverse cash flow changes. In determining our estimate of cash flows for AFS securities we may consider factors such as structural credit enhancement, past and expected future performance of underlying mortgage loans, including timing of expected future cash flows, which are informed by prepayment rates, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing loans, FICO scores at loan origination, year of origination, loan-to-value ratios, and geographic concentrations, as well as general market assessments. Changes in our evaluation of these factors impacted the cash flows expected to be collected at the assessment date and were used to determine if there were credit-related adverse cash flows and if so, the amount of credit related losses. Significant judgment is used in both our analysis of the expected cash flows for our AFS securities and any determination of security credit losses.

The table below summarizes the weighted average of the significant credit quality indicators we used for the credit loss allowance on our AFS securities at March 31, 2022.

Servicer advance investments

We and a third-party co-investor, through two partnerships (“SA Buyers”) consolidated by us, purchased the outstanding servicer advances and excess MSRs related to a portfolio of legacy residential mortgage-backed securitizations serviced by the co-investor (Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information regarding the transactions). At March 31, 2022, we had funded $148 million of total capital to the SA Buyers (see Note 16 for additional detail).

At March 31, 2022, our servicer advance investments had a carrying value of $303 million and were associated with a portfolio of residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $12.70 billion. The outstanding servicer advance receivables associated with this investment were $266 million at March 31, 2022, which were financed with short-term non-recourse securitization debt (see Note 13 for additional detail on this debt). The servicer advance receivables were comprised of the following types of advances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 10. Other Investments - (continued)

HEIs

In 2019, we began purchasing home equity investment contracts from a third party under a flow purchase agreement. 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 a deed of trust or a mortgage. Our investments in HEIs allow us to share in both home price appreciation and depreciation of the associated property.

During the third quarter of 2021, we amended our original flow purchase agreement with the third party and committed to purchase $125 million of HEIs from the date of the amended agreement, and during the first quarter of 2022, we exercised an option and committed to acquire an additional $125 million of HEIs. At March 31, 2022, we had acquired $117 million of HEIs cumulatively, including $70 million of our $250 million commitment, under the third-party flow purchase agreement.

As of March 31, 2022, we owned $74 million of HEIs at Redwood and consolidated $153 million of HEIs through the HEI securitization entity. We account for these investments under the fair value option and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a net market valuation gain of $1 million and a net market valuation gain of $5 million, respectively, related to HEIs owned at Redwood through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

We consolidate the HEI securitization in accordance with GAAP and have elected to account for it under the CFE election. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded net market valuation gains of $3 million (including $1 million of interest expense) related to our net investment in the HEI securitization entity through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Strategic Investments

Strategic investments represent investments we have made in companies either through our RWT Horizons venture investment platform or separately at a corporate level. At March 31, 2022, we had made a total of 21 investments in companies through RWT Horizons with a total carrying value of $25 million, and two corporate-level investments, including our strategic investment in Churchill Finance. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded $0.1 million of Other income from our strategic investments.

Excess MSRs

In association with our servicer advance investments described above, we (through our consolidated SA Buyers) invested in excess MSRs associated with the same portfolio of legacy residential mortgage-backed securitizations. Additionally, we own excess MSRs associated with specified pools of multifamily loans. We account for our excess MSRs at fair value and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $4 million and $3 million of interest income, respectively, through Other interest income, and recorded net market valuation losses of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

We invest in mortgage servicing rights associated with residential mortgage loans and contract with licensed sub-servicers to perform all servicing functions for these loans. The majority of our investments in MSRs were made through the retention of servicing rights associated with the residential jumbo mortgage loans that we acquired and subsequently sold to third parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we retained $5 million of MSRs from sales of residential loans to third parties. We hold our MSR investments at our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our MSRs had a fair value of $20 million and $12 million, respectively, and were associated with loans with an aggregate principal balance of $2.36 billion and $2.12 billion, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, including net market valuation gains and losses on our MSRs, we recorded net income of $4.3 million and $1 million, respectively, through Other income on our consolidated statements of income related to our MSRs.

At December 31, 2021, we were party to swaps and swaptions with an aggregate notional amount of $2.10 billion, futures with an aggregate notional amount of $72 million and TBA agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $3.31 billion.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, risk management derivatives had a net market valuation gain of $92 million, and a net market valuation gain of $93 million, respectively. Market valuation gains and losses are recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net, Investment fair value changes, net and Other income on our consolidated statements of income.

Loan Purchase and Interest Rate Lock Commitments

LPCs and IRLCs that qualify as derivatives are recorded at their estimated fair values. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, LPCs and IRLCs had a net market valuation loss of $42 million and loss of $52 million, respectively, that were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

For interest rate agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income was $75 million and $76 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We are amortizing this loss into interest expense over the remaining term of the debt they were originally hedging. As of March 31, 2022, we expect to amortize $4 million of realized losses related to terminated cash flow hedges into interest expense over the next twelve months.

The following table illustrates the impact on interest expense of our interest rate agreements accounted for as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we consider counterparty risk as part of our fair value assessments of all derivative financial instruments at each quarter-end. At March 31, 2022, we assessed this risk as remote and did not record an associated specific valuation adjustment.

At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our derivative counterparty ISDA agreements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the average balance of our short-term debt facilities was $1.73 billion. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accrued interest payable on our short-term debt facilities was $2 million and $2 million, respectively.

Servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt used to finance servicer advance investments. We consolidate the securitization entity that issued the debt, but the entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. At March 31, 2022, the accrued interest payable balance on this financing was $0.2 million and the unamortized capitalized commitment costs were $0.7 million.

We also maintain a $10 million committed line of credit with a financial institution that is secured by certain mortgage-backed securities with a fair market value of $1 million at March 31, 2022. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings on this facility.

(1)Includes $270 million (principal balance) of ABS issued by a CAFL bridge securitization trust sponsored by Redwood and accounted for at amortized cost at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(2)Includes $131 million and $145 million (principal balance) of ABS issued by a re-securitization trust sponsored by Redwood and accounted for at amortized cost at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(3)Certain ABS issued by CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, and HEI securitization entities are subject to early redemption and interest rate step-ups as described below.

During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of a securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest bridge loans (presented within CAFL in table 14.1 above), which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $270 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust. The ABS were issued at a discount and we have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost. At March 31, 2022, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $270 million, and the unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs were $2 million, for a net carrying value of $268 million. The weighted average stated coupon of the ABS issued was 2.34% at issuance. The ABS issued by the CAFL bridge entity are subject to an optional redemption in March 2024, and beginning in March 2025 the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 2% through final maturity in March 2029. The ABS issued by this securitization were backed by assets including $292 million of bridge loans, $8 million of restricted cash and $6 million of other assets at March 31, 2022. The securitization is structured with $300 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 30 months of the transaction (through March 2024), unless an amortization event occurs prior to the expiration of the 30-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.

During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of the HEI securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of HEIs, which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $146 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained a portion of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust. 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 (including accrued interest) recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. The ABS issued by the HEI securitization entity are subject to an optional redemption in September 2023, and beginning in September 2024 the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 2% through final maturity in 2052.

During the third quarter of 2020, we transferred all of the subordinate securities we owned from two consolidated re-performing loan securitization VIEs sponsored by Freddie Mac SLST to a re-securitization trust, which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $210 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained 100% of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. The ABS was issued at a discount and we have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost. At March 31, 2022, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $131 million, and the debt discount and deferred issuance costs were $2 million, for a net carrying value of $129 million. The stated coupon of the ABS issued was 4.75% at issuance and the final stated maturity occurs in July 2059. The ABS issued are subject to an optional redemption in July 2022 and in July 2023 the ABS interest rate steps up to 7.75%.

Note 14. Asset-Backed Securities Issued - (continued)

The actual maturity of each class of ABS issued is primarily determined by the rate of principal prepayments on the assets of the issuing entity. Each series is also subject to redemption prior to the stated maturity according to the terms of the respective governing documents of each ABS issuing entity. As a result, the actual maturity of ABS issued may occur earlier than the stated maturity. At March 31, 2022, the majority of the ABS issued and outstanding had contractual maturities beyond five years. See Note 4 for detail on the carrying value components of the collateral for ABS issued and outstanding. The following table summarizes the accrued interest payable on ABS issued at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Interest due on consolidated ABS issued is payable monthly.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

At March 31, 2022, we were obligated under seven non-cancelable operating leases with expiration dates through 2031 for $23 million of cumulative lease payments. Our operating lease expense was $1 million each for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following table presents our future lease commitments at March 31, 2022.

Table 16.1 – Future Lease Commitments by Year

(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022
2022 (9 months)	$	3,228
2023	4,428
2024	4,338
2025	3,475
2026	3,420
2027 and thereafter	4,553
Total Lease Commitments	23,442
Less: Imputed interest	(3,224)
Operating Lease Liabilities	$	20,218

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not enter into any new office leases. At March 31, 2022, our operating lease liabilities were $20 million, which were a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities, and our operating lease right-of-use assets were $18 million, which were a component of Other assets.

We determined that none of our leases contained an implicit interest rate and used a discount rate equal to our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis to determine the present value of our total lease payments. As such, we determined the applicable discount rate for each of our leases using a swap rate plus an applicable spread for borrowing arrangements secured by our real estate loans and securities for a length of time equal to the remaining lease term on the date of adoption. At March 31, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our leases was 6 years and 5.1%, respectively.

Commitment to Fund Bridge Loans

As of March 31, 2022, we had commitments to fund up to $792 million of additional advances on existing 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 March 31, 2022, we carried a $1 million contingent liability related to these commitments to fund construction advances. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a net market valuation loss of $0.2 million related to this liability through Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a net market valuation gain of $1 million related to this liability through Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Commitment to Fund Partnerships

In 2018, we invested in two partnerships created to acquire and manage certain mortgage servicing related assets (see Note 10 for additional detail). In connection with this investment, we are required to fund future net servicer advances related to the underlying mortgage loans. The actual amount of net servicer advances we may fund in the future is subject to significant uncertainty and will be based on the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies - (continued)

Commitment to Acquire HEIs

In the third quarter of 2021, we amended an existing flow purchase agreement with a third party and committed to acquire $125 million of HEIs from the date of the amended agreement. In the first quarter of 2022, we exercised an option and committed to acquire an additional $125 million of HEIs from the third-party HEI originator. At March 31, 2022, we had acquired $70 million HEIs of our $250 million commitment under this flow purchase agreement. See Note 10 for additional detail on these investments.

Commitments to Fund Strategic Investments

In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into a $25 million commitment to an investment fund with the mission of providing quality workforce housing opportunities in San Francisco Bay Area urban communities. At March 31, 2022, we had funded $0.3 million of this commitment. This investment is included in Other Investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In 2021, we entered into commitments to fund $5 million to each of two different RWT Horizons investments. At March 31, 2022, we had funded $4 million of these commitments. These investments are included in Other Investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Loss Contingencies — Risk-Sharing

During 2015 and 2016, we sold conforming loans to the Agencies with an original unpaid principal balance of $3.19 billion, subject to our risk-sharing arrangements with the Agencies. At March 31, 2022, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these arrangements was $44 million and this amount was partially collateralized by assets we transferred to pledged accounts and is presented as pledged collateral in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We have no recourse to any third parties that would allow us to recover any amounts related to our obligations under the arrangements. At March 31, 2022, we had incurred less than $0.1 million of losses under these arrangements. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, other income related to these arrangements was $0.5 million and $1 million, respectively, and net market valuation changes related to these investments were less than $0.1 million of gains and $0.1 million of losses, respectively.

All of the loans in the reference pools subject to these risk-sharing arrangements were originated in 2014 and 2015, and at March 31, 2022, the loans had an unpaid principal balance of $504 million and a weighted average FICO score of 756 (at origination) and LTV ratio of 74% (at origination). At March 31, 2022, $14 million of the loans were 90 days or more delinquent, of which two of these loans with an unpaid principal balance of $0.2 million were in foreclosure. At March 31, 2022, the carrying value of our guarantee obligation was $7 million and included $5 million designated as a non-amortizing credit reserve, which we believe is sufficient to cover current expected losses under these obligations.

Our consolidated balance sheets include assets of special purpose entities ("SPEs") associated with these risk-sharing arrangements (i.e., the "pledged collateral" referred to above) that can only be used to settle obligations of these SPEs for which the creditors of these SPEs (the Agencies) do not have recourse to us. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, assets of such SPEs totaled $34 million, and liabilities of such SPEs totaled $7 million.

Loss Contingencies — Residential Repurchase Reserve

We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties and for conforming residential loans associated with MSRs that we have purchased from third parties. We do not originate residential loans and we believe the initial risk of loss due to loan repurchases (i.e., due to a breach of representations and warranties) would generally be a contingency to the companies from whom we acquired the loans. However, in some cases, for example, where loans were acquired from companies that have since become insolvent, repurchase claims may result in our being liable for a repurchase obligation. Additionally, for certain loans we sold during the second quarter of 2020 that were previously held for investment, we have a direct obligation to repurchase these loans in the event of any early payment defaults (or "EPDs") by the underlying mortgage borrowers within certain specified periods following the sales.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our repurchase reserve associated with our residential loans and MSRs was $10 million and $9 million, respectively, and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we received zero repurchase requests and repurchased zero loans.

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	140,506,157		141,039,285
Diluted Earnings per Common Share	$	0.24	$	0.72

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, certain of our convertible notes were determined to be dilutive and were included in the calculation of diluted EPS under the "if-converted" method. Under this method, 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 the three months ended March 31, 2021, 8,235,721 of common shares related to the assumed conversion of our convertible notes were antidilutive and were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the number of outstanding equity awards that were antidilutive totaled 17,154 and 15,460, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, $2 million of long-term cash-based retention awards were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees that will vest and be paid over a three-year period, subject to continued employment through the vesting periods from 2022 through 2025. The value of long-term cash-based awards is being amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over each award's respective vesting period.

Note 22. Taxes

We believe that we have met all requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income and meet certain other requirements that relate to, among others, the assets it holds, the income it generates, and the composition of its stockholders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a benefit from income taxes of $2 million and a provision for income taxes of $12 million, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal and state tax rates to our effective tax rate at March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Table 22.1 – Reconciliation of Statutory Tax Rate to Effective Tax Rate

	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Federal statutory rate	21.0	%	21.0	%
State statutory rate, net of Federal tax effect	8.6	%	8.6	%
Differences in taxable (loss) income from GAAP income	(20.4)	%	(12.5)	%
Change in valuation allowance	2.1	%	(3.7)	%
Dividends paid deduction	(19.9)	%	(2.8)	%
Effective Tax Rate	(8.6)	%	10.6	%

We assessed our tax positions for all open tax years (i.e., Federal, 2018 to 2022, and State, 2017 to 2022) at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and concluded that we had no uncertain tax positions that resulted in material unrecognized tax benefits.

We deliver customized housing credit investments to a diverse mix of investors through our best-in-class securitization platforms, whole-loan distribution activities and our publicly-traded securities. Our aggregation, origination and investment activities have evolved to incorporate a diverse mix of residential, business purpose and multifamily assets.

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, 2021.

Cautionary Statement

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ from our beliefs, expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements are not historical in nature and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan” and similar expressions or their negative forms, or by references to strategy, plans, or intentions. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, under the caption “Risk Factors.” Other risks, uncertainties, and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected may be described from time to time in reports we file with the SEC, including reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, are forward-looking by their nature: (i) statements we make regarding Redwood's business strategy and strategic focus, including statements relating to our overall market position, strategy and long-term prospects (including trends driving the flow of capital in the housing finance market, our strategic initiatives designed to capitalize on those trends, our ability to attract capital to finance those initiatives, our approach to raising capital, and our ability to pay dividends in the future); (ii) statements related to our financial outlook and expectations for 2022 and future years, including statements regarding the economic impact of inflation, supply chain disruptions, and war in Europe; (iii) statements regarding our expectations with respect to the closing of our acquisition of Riverbend and Riverbend’s integration into the Redwood and CoreVest businesses; (iv) statements related to our opportunities for growth, including opportunities to grow and increase our market share for our residential and business purpose lending mortgage banking platforms; (v) statements related to our investment portfolio, including that there remains potential upside in our portfolio through market discount; (vi) statements related to RWT Horizons and our strategic investment initiatives, including that we expect to recognize a pre-tax gain on an earlier investment of approximately $10 million in the second quarter of 2022; (vii) statements relating to our estimate of our available capital (including that we estimate our available capital at March 31, 2022 was approximately $140 million); (viii) statements relating to acquiring residential mortgage loans in the future that we have identified for purchase or plan to purchase, including the amount of such loans that we identified for purchase during the first quarter of 2022 and at March 31, 2022, and expected fallout and the corresponding volume of residential mortgage loans expected to be available for purchase; (ix) statements we make regarding future dividends, including with respect to our regular quarterly dividends in 2022; and (x) statements regarding our expectations and estimates relating to the characterization for income tax purposes of our dividend distributions, our expectations and estimates relating to tax accounting, tax liabilities and tax savings, and GAAP tax provisions, and our estimates of REIT taxable income and TRS taxable income.

Many of the factors that could affect our actual results are summarized below. One of the most significant factors, however, is the ongoing impact of the pandemic on the United States economy, homeowners, renters of housing, the housing market, the mortgage finance markets and the broader financial markets. It is difficult to fully assess the impact of the pandemic at this time, including because of the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the pandemic domestically and internationally, as well as the uncertainty around the efficacy of Federal, State and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impacts on many aspects of Americans’ lives and economic activity. Moreover, each of the factors summarized below is likely to also be impacted directly or indirectly by the ongoing impact of the pandemic and investors are cautioned to interpret substantially all of the risks identified in the Company’s previously published “Risk Factors” as being heightened as a result of the ongoing impact of the pandemic.

Important factors, among others, that may affect our actual results include:

OVERVIEW

Business Update

Our first quarter GAAP earnings were $0.24 per diluted share and our GAAP book value was $12.01 per share at March 31, 2022, down only 0.4% from book value at year-end 2021. After paying a first quarter dividend of $0.23 per share, we ended the quarter with over $400 million of unrestricted cash and $140 million of available capital. This does not take into account the ongoing net cash flow we tend to generate internally through our operating businesses, a dynamic that has facilitated much of our recent growth. The resiliency of our mortgage banking businesses, coupled with another quarter of very strong fundamental credit performance across our investment portfolio, has resulted in balanced financial results in an otherwise challenging environment for the broader residential mortgage sector.

2022 appears to be a year of transition for many market participants, with expectations for persistently higher inflation and supply chain disruptions negatively impacting market sentiment. Benchmark interest rates began rising in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Federal Reserve in March announced it would raise its federal funds rate for the first time since 2019, and many market observers currently expect a total of nine rate hikes throughout the year. Additionally, the Fed has signaled it will begin reducing its holdings of Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). For context, the Fed had acquired approximately $2.7 trillion of Agency MBS over the past two years. Credit markets have remained volatile as investors assess how the Fed will manage the economy.

Challenging market conditions like these offer opportunities for us to further differentiate our business, particularly as we position Redwood for growth. Our business purpose lending platform, CoreVest, has the capacity to create shorter-duration, floating-rate loans whose interest rates reset as benchmark rates rise, including the bridge products we offer that are generally 12 to 18 months in duration and provide financing to housing investors who rehabilitate single or multifamily units for sale or rent. This segment of the housing industry continues to grow, as the supply of refurbished housing across the U.S. is near all-time lows. Our total business purpose lending (“BPL”) fundings for the first quarter grew 25% versus the fourth quarter of 2021 on record bridge originations, supported by strong volumes in multifamily transitional lending. One competitive advantage of our bridge lending program is the broad array of lending products we offer to borrowers, from small loans for investors improving one single-family home, to large and more customized loan products for sponsors focused on build-for-rent or multifamily development.

We recently announced a definitive agreement to acquire Riverbend Funding, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Riverbend”), a specialty lender headquartered in Oregon focused on single- and multifamily bridge lending. Riverbend, which we expect to operationally integrate within CoreVest, brings a complementary product and geographic scope that we believe will positively contribute to our overall BPL platform. Riverbend’s borrower network should also provide an opportunity to further market and distribute CoreVest’s existing loan products. Riverbend’s executives are well known to our leadership team through both current and previous business ventures, and both groups are excited about the business and cultural fit. We expect to consummate the acquisition in the second quarter of 2022, pending satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Within the residential mortgage market, the effects from the Fed’s tightening monetary policy caused mortgage rates to rise approximately 1.50% during the first quarter, and in light of the expectation of continued tightening, industry-wide reductions in origination capacity appear inevitable. Moreover, loans in production since last November were locked to consumers at interest rates well below today’s market levels, negatively impacting the economics for issuers of both Agency MBS and non-Agency securitizations. Our ability to distribute our pipeline of residential loan inventory more quickly than competitors thereby offers protection from continued interest rate volatility.

In light of this operating environment, we’re pleased with the performance of our residential business. We accelerated the schedule for issuing our first securitization of 2022 to early January, in advance of many other market participants. To our knowledge, this transaction achieved the most favorable economic execution of any private label securitization of its type to date this year. As the quarter progressed, we continued to manage our loan pipeline and inventory with competitive pricing, faster loan processing times, and a deep whole loan distribution network.

Utilizing this approach, we were able to continue locking residential loans competitively while other participants more drastically reduced their purchase activity, resulting in our residential lock volume declining only 7% from the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to industry-wide projections of a 25% total decline for the period. We accomplished this while preserving our gross margins at levels near our long-term historical range.

74

Gain on sale margins for our mortgage banking businesses, particularly for the consumer residential and single-family rental (“SFR”) loan pipelines, remain impacted by the interest rate environment and credit spread widening that affected markets in the first quarter. However, in conjunction with an expected recovery in margins as industry origination capacity corrects and fixed costs are reduced, we have announced new loan products aimed at meeting the evolving needs of investors and consumers in today’s rising rate environment. Our BPL mortgage banking platform recently originated a term loan backed by a short-term rental portfolio, a structure we expect will position CoreVest well to meet the needs of a growing cohort of investors in the short-term rental space. Our residential mortgage banking platform recently revamped our expanded credit loan purchase programs – including the addition of a loan purchase program focused on self-employed borrowers – as part of a continuing evolution of our loan purchase product offerings to address the changing needs of homeowners. We also remain well-positioned to acquire high-balance conforming mortgages and loans on second homes that we expect to be offered and sold to private market participants in light of revised GSE loan purchase pricing guidelines that took effect in April. We see these new loan purchase products as a key driver to increasing our share of this market in the future.

Our portfolio diversification, low leverage, and proactive risk management reduced the impact of the volatility on Redwood’s book value during the first quarter. Many assets in our investment portfolio continue to be held at a significant discount to par value and overall our investment portfolio is primarily backed by assets with lower interest rate sensitivity, including, among other assets, bridge loans, call-protected SFR loans, and seasoned reperforming residential loans. Our book value tends to be correlated more closely to underlying credit performance, and we observed the impact of this in the first quarter as overall delinquencies remained stable. Our outlook on housing credit remains strong given rising home equity, low unemployment and historically low housing inventory. Volatility may provide attractive investment opportunities, and we will continue to acquire assets for our investment portfolio where we see strong return potential.

RWT Horizons, our internal venture capital investment strategy, had a positive quarter, with two smaller investments completing follow-on raises at significantly higher valuations during the first quarter. In April, one of our earlier portfolio companies completed a new funding round that is expected to result in a pre-tax gain on our investment of approximately $10 million in the second quarter of 2022. We expect to recognize this valuation adjustment in accordance with GAAP in our second quarter earnings.

We completed five new Horizons investments in the first quarter, all with a direct nexus to our operating businesses, including a focus on improving core business processes and/or the consumer experience. Since inception, we have completed 21 investments through Horizons across 18 companies, with over $25 million of capital committed. We also saw two of our Horizons portfolio companies collaborate with one another in the first quarter with the shared goal of enhancing loan-backed digital assets, which should ultimately increase transparency and reduce friction costs over the duration of a residential loan. Connecting companies through our ecosystem to transform our markets has been a central tenet of our vision for Horizons.

As we proceed into the second quarter, anxiety remains prevalent across all aspects of the financial markets, as the ground war in eastern Europe and high inflation continue to drive benchmark rates higher and credit spreads wider. The expected duration of outstanding residential mortgage loans continues to extend as rates rise and refinance options become less economical, while at the same time the estimated home purchasing power of consumers declines due to higher financing costs and persistently low home inventories that have kept real estate prices high across the country. We believe much of the associated volatility has already been reflected in market pricing levels. For example, in some cases both Agency and non-Agency MBS have been sold in third party transactions at pricing levels worse than what we observed at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. As we look for attractive opportunities to deploy capital, we are mindful that accessing quality housing remains an ongoing challenge for many American households.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Within this Results of Operations section, we provide commentary that compares results year-over-year for 2022 and 2021. Most tables include a "change" column that shows the amount by which the results from 2022 are greater or less than the results from the respective period in 2021. Unless otherwise specified, references in this section to increases or decreases during the "three-month periods" refer to the change in results for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following table presents the components of our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.24	$	0.72	$	(0.48)

Net Interest Income

The increase in net interest income during the three-month periods was primarily attributable to the performance of our investment portfolio, which accounted for $23 million of the increase, and generally resulted from higher average asset balances in the first quarter of 2022, as we increased our investments in bridge loans and bonds we retained from CoreVest SFR securitizations during the prior twelve months, as well as higher discount accretion on our available-for-sale securities, yield maintenance income on our SFR securities and a lower cost of funds on borrowings for our investments. Higher average balances of residential and SFR loans held in inventory at our mortgage banking businesses during the first quarter of 2022 contributed to $4 million of the increase.

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

Mortgage Banking Activities, Net

The decrease in income from mortgage banking activities during the three-month periods was attributable to a $54 million decrease from our residential mortgage banking operations and a $13 million decrease from our business purpose mortgage banking operations. The decrease from residential mortgage banking was attributable to lower acquisition volumes as well as decreased margins during the first quarter of 2022, which were impacted by increased rate volatility and higher hedging costs as well as wider spreads for securitizations and whole loans. The decrease from business purpose mortgage banking was primarily attributable to spread widening impacting our SFR loans during the first quarter of 2022.

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

77

Investment Fair Value Changes, Net

Investment fair value changes, net, is primarily comprised of the change in fair values of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, negative investment fair value changes reflected spread widening across some of our investments (including re-performing loans, CRT securities, residential securities and called jumbo loans) partially offset by fair value increases in our HEIs, IO securities, and certain SFR subordinate securities that benefited from credit resolutions during the first quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, positive investment fair value changes reflected continuing improvement in credit performance and spread tightening across our investment portfolio.

Additional detail on our investment fair value changes during 2022 is included in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows as well as Table 5.6 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Income

The increase in other income for the three-month periods primarily resulted from higher income on our MSR investments, which benefited from a slowdown in prepayment speeds during the first quarter of 2022 as interest rates rose.

Additional detail on our other income is presented in Table 20.1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Realized Gains, Net

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we realized gains of $3 million, primarily resulting from calls associated with third-party available-for-sale ("AFS") securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we realized gains of $3 million primarily resulting from the sale of $2 million of AFS securities and the call of a seasoned Sequoia securitization.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administration expenses decreased for the three-month periods, primarily due to a $15 million decrease in variable compensation expense, commensurate with the decrease in GAAP earnings during the quarters. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $3 million from higher fixed compensation expense and long-term incentive award expense, in both cases associated with an increased headcount in 2022 and higher per-employee costs.

Additional detail on our General and administrative expenses is presented in Table 21.1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Loan Acquisition Costs

The increase in loan acquisition costs for the three-month periods was primarily due to higher loan origination volumes at our business purpose mortgage banking operations during the first quarter of 2022.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is almost entirely related to activity at our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which primarily includes our mortgage banking activities and MSR investments, as well as certain other investment and hedging activities. The switch to a tax benefit from a tax provision year-over-year was primarily the result of GAAP losses at our TRS during the first quarter of 2022 versus GAAP income earned during the same period in 2021.

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

We report on our business using three segments: Residential Mortgage Banking, Business Purpose Mortgage Banking, and Investment Portfolio. For additional information on our segments, refer to Note 23 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following table presents the segment contribution from our three segments reconciled to our consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Table 4 – Segment Results Summary

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In Thousands)	2022		2021		Change

Corporate/Other	(24,929)		(26,917)		1,988
Net Income	$	30,915	$	97,257	$	(66,342)

Following is an overview of the changes in net contribution from our segments. The sections that follow this overview provide further detail for our three business segments and their results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Residential Mortgage Banking

The decrease in contribution from our residential mortgage banking operations was primarily attributable to lower mortgage banking activities income, which declined as a result of lower volumes and margins during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to same period in the prior year. A sharp increase in mortgage rates during the first quarter of 2022 resulted in a decrease in mortgage origination activity industry-wide, which also negatively impacted our loan acquisition volumes. Additionally, our margins during the first quarter of 2022 were negatively impacted by increased rate volatility, which resulted in higher hedging costs, as well as wider spreads for both securitizations and whole loans.

Business Purpose Mortgage Banking

The decrease in contribution from our residential mortgage banking operations was primarily attributable to lower mortgage banking activities income in the first quarter of 2022, which declined as a result of lower margins from spread widening on our SFR loans. Higher loan origination volumes contributed to increased origination fees and higher net interest income earned on loan inventory during the first quarter of 2022, while also resulting in higher loan acquisition costs.

Investment Portfolio

The decrease in contribution from the investment portfolio was primarily attributable to $5 million of negative investment fair value changes during the first quarter of 2022, as compared to a $46 million of positive investment fair value changes in the first quarter of 2021, as discussed in the Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A. This decrease was partially offset by higher net interest income in the first quarter of 2022, as compared to the first quarter of 2021, due primarily to higher average balances of assets in our investment portfolio, as well as higher discount accretion and yield maintenance income, as discussed in the Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

Corporate/Other

The decrease in net expense from Corporate/Other for the three-month periods was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense for corporate employees (not directly assigned to our segments) in the first quarter of 2022, commensurate with earnings in that period relative to the same period in the prior year.

80

Residential Mortgage Banking Segment

Our Residential Mortgage Banking segment consists of a mortgage loan conduit that acquires residential loans from third-party originators for subsequent sale, securitization through our Sequoia private-label securitization program, or transfer into our investment portfolio. We typically acquire prime jumbo mortgages and the related mortgage servicing rights on a flow basis from our 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 loans held-for-sale within this segment. This segment’s main source of mortgage banking income is net interest income from its inventory of loans held-for-sale, as well as income from mortgage banking activities, which includes valuation increases (or gains) on loans we acquire and subsequently sell, securitize, or transfer into our investment portfolio, and the hedges used to manage risks associated with these activities. Direct operating expenses and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.

Net income from this segment is primarily comprised of net interest income earned on loans while they are held in inventory, mortgage banking activities income (including mark-to-market adjustments on loans from the time they are purchased to when they are sold or securitized, mark-to-market adjustments on new and outstanding loan purchase commitments and gains/losses from associated hedges), and all direct expenses associated with these activities. Subordinate securities that we retain from our Sequoia securitizations (many of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) are transferred to and held in our Investment Portfolio segment.

The following table provides the activity of residential loans held in inventory for sale at our mortgage banking business during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(1)Represents the fair value of the net transfers of loans from held-for-sale to held-for-investment within our Residential Lending investment portfolio, associated with securitizations we sponsored that we consolidate under GAAP.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our residential mortgage loan conduit locked $2.63 billion of loans ($1.96 billion adjusted for expected pipeline fallout - i.e, loan purchase commitments), including $2.39 billion of Select loans and $0.24 billion of Choice loans, and purchased $2.01 billion of loans. Approximately 65% of loans locked in the first quarter were purchase-money loans and 35% were refinancings. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we distributed $1.83 billion of loans through whole loan sales, and completed one securitization backed by $687 million of loans (unpaid principal balance).

At March 31, 2022, we had $1.10 billion of loans in inventory on our balance sheet, our loan pipeline included $1.09 billion of loans identified for purchase (locked loans, unadjusted for fallout), and we had entered into forward sale agreements for $581 million of loans.

We utilize a combination of capital and our residential loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale. At March 31, 2022, we had residential warehouse facilities outstanding with seven different counterparties, with $2.75 billion of total capacity and $1.53 billion of available capacity. These included non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent) facilities with $1.38 billion of total capacity and marginable facilities with $1.38 billion of total capacity.

The following table presents key earnings and operating metrics for our Residential Mortgage Banking segment during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

	Three Months Ended
(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022
Mortgage banking income	$	13,966
Operating expenses	(7,518)
Benefit from income taxes	1,007
Segment Contribution	$	7,455
Loan purchase commitments (loan locks, adjusted for expected fallout)	$	1,955,941

Residential mortgage banking income presented in the table above is comprised of net interest income from residential loans held-for-sale in inventory and mortgage banking activities, net from this segment (see Note 19 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). Operating expenses presented in the table above includes general and administrative expenses, loan acquisition costs and other expenses for this segment.

Our gross margin (mortgage banking income earned in the period divided by loan purchase commitments entered into during the period) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 71 basis points, near the low end of our historical range of 75 - 100 basis points. As discussed previously, our margins during the first quarter of 2022 were negatively impacted by increased rate volatility and wider spreads for securitizations and whole loans during the quarter. Continued rate volatility or a further widening of spreads could continue to negatively impact our margins and profitability.

Operating expenses at our Residential mortgage banking segment in the first three months of 2022 declined compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower variable compensation costs, which are correlated with the business's overall profitability.

Activity at this segment is performed within our taxable REIT subsidiary and subject to federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes for the first quarter of 2022 was due to an overall GAAP loss incurred at our TRS during that period.

Business Purpose Mortgage Banking Segment

Our Business Purpose Mortgage Banking segment consists of a platform that originates and acquires business purpose loans for subsequent securitization, sale, or transfer into our investment portfolio. We originate SFR and bridge loans and typically distribute most of our SFR loans through our CAFL private-label securitization program, or on occasion through whole loan sales, and will transfer our bridge loans to the Investment Portfolio where they will either be retained for investment or securitized. SFR loans are business purpose mortgage loans to investors in single-family (primarily 1-4 unit) rental properties. Bridge loans are business purpose mortgage loans to investors rehabilitating and subsequently reselling or renting residential and multifamily properties. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of single-family rental loans held-for-sale.

Net income from this segment is primarily comprised of net interest income earned on loans while they are held in inventory, mortgage banking activities income (including mark-to-market adjustments on loans from the time they are purchased to when they are sold, securitized or transferred into our investment portfolio, fee income earned on originations and gains/losses from associated hedges), and all direct expenses associated with these activities. Subordinate securities that we retain from our CAFL securitizations (which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) and bridge loans we originate in this segment are transferred to and held in our Investment Portfolio segment.

(1)We originate bridge loans at our TRS and then transfer them to our REIT. Origination fees and any fair value changes on these loans prior to transfer are recognized within Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income. Once the loans are transferred to our REIT, they are classified as held-for-investment, with subsequent fair value changes generally recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. For bridge loans held at our REIT that are transferred into our CAFL bridge securitization, we record any changes in fair value from the date of origination or purchase to the time of securitization as Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income. Once loans are transferred into this securitization, any changes in fair value are recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. For the carrying value and activity of our bridge loans held-for-investment, see the Investment Portfolio section that follows.

(2)For single-family rental loans, amounts represent transfers of loans from held-for-sale at our Business Purpose Mortgage Banking segment to held-for-investment at our Investment Portfolio segment, associated with securitizations we sponsored that we consolidate under GAAP. Bridge loan amounts represent the transfer of loans originated or acquired by our Business purpose mortgage banking group at our TRS and transferred to our Investment Portfolio segment at our REIT as described in preceding footnote.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we funded $505 million of single-family rental loans and sold $332 million of such loans to third parties. Single-family rental loan fundings for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $443 million of loan originations and $62 million of loans acquired from third parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no business purpose loan securitizations. At March 31, 2022, we had $506 million of single-family rental loans in inventory on our balance sheet. Bridge loan fundings for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $412 million of loan originations and $3 million of loans acquired from third parties.

We utilize a combination of capital and loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of single-family rental loans that we hold for sale. At March 31, 2022, we had business purpose warehouse facilities outstanding with four different counterparties, with $1.85 billion of total capacity (used for both SFR and bridge loans) and $760 million 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 on the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent).

The following table presents an earnings summary for our Business Purpose Mortgage Banking segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Table 8 – Business Purpose Mortgage Banking Earnings Summary

	Three Months Ended
(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022
Mortgage banking income	$	11,228
Operating expenses	(17,054)
Benefit from income taxes	3,281
Segment Contribution	$	(2,545)

Business purpose mortgage banking income presented in the table above is comprised of net interest income from single-family rental ("SFR") loans held-for-sale in inventory, mortgage banking activities, net (see Note 19 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on the composition of mortgage banking activities), and other income, net for this segment. Operating expenses presented in the table above includes general and administrative expenses, loan acquisition costs and other expenses for this segment.

As discussed previously, business purpose mortgage banking activity during the first quarter of 2022 was negatively impacted by the increased rate volatility and spread widening on SFR loans during the quarter. This was partially offset by elevated fee income from higher origination activity. Continued rate volatility or a further widening of spreads would continue to impact our margins and profitability at this business.

Operating expenses at this segment remained relatively flat year-over-year in the first quarter, as an increase in fixed costs from higher headcount was mostly offset by lower variable compensation, which is tied to segment profitability.

Activity at this segment is performed within our taxable REIT subsidiary and subject to federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes for the first quarter of 2022 was due to an overall GAAP loss incurred at our TRS during that period.

Investment Portfolio Segment

Our Investment Portfolio segment consists of investments sourced through our residential and business purpose mortgage banking operations, including primarily securities retained from our residential and business purpose securitization activities (some of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes), residential and small-balance multifamily bridge loans, as well as third-party investments including RMBS issued by third parties (including Agency CRT securities), investments in Freddie Mac K-Series multifamily loan securitizations and reperforming loan securitizations (both of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes), servicer advance investments, HEIs, and other housing-related investments. This segment’s main sources of income are net interest income and other income from investments, changes in fair value of investments, 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 growth in our Investment Portfolio during the first quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to a net increase in business purpose bridge loans, the acquisition of residential jumbo loans from calls and incremental investments in HEIs through a third-party flow purchase agreement. See the Investments Detail and Activity section that follows for additional detail on our portfolio investments and their associated borrowings.

The following table presents an earnings summary for our Investment Portfolio segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Table 10 – Investment Portfolio Earnings Summary

	Three Months Ended
(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022
Net interest income	$	53,991
Investment fair value changes, net	(5,406)
Other income, net	5,282
Realized gains, net	2,581
Operating expenses	(3,684)
Provision for income taxes	(1,830)
Segment Contribution	$	50,934

Net interest income during the first quarter of 2022 included approximately $8 million of yield maintenance income (triggered by prepayments) received on retained SFR securities. This was a significant increase from prior quarters and, while any amounts of yield maintenance income are difficult to forecast, we would generally not expect to receive amounts of this magnitude in future quarters. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2022, we recorded $8 million of discount accretion for AFS securities. As a result of interest rate increases, we have delayed the expected call dates for certain available-for-sale securities and expect discount accretion income from these securities to decline in future quarters.

Investment fair value changes is primarily comprised of the change in fair value (both realized and unrealized) of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option and hedges associated with these investments (see Table 5.6 in Note 5 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on the composition of investment fair value changes – note difference in amount from the table above to Table 5.6 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements relates to fair value changes for investments held at corporate/other). The negative investment fair value changes in the first three months of 2022 resulted primarily from credit spread widening across many of our investments during the quarter. Rising benchmark interest rates resulted in positive fair value changes for our interest only securities and hedges allocated to our investment portfolio, and credit improvements benefited several of our investments, including in particular our retained CAFL SFR securities. While our investments continue to experience strong credit performance, further spread widening could result in additional negative investment fair value changes for our investments.

Other income within this segment is primarily comprised of income (loss) from our MSR investments, bridge loan extension fees, and risk share investment income. Details on the composition of Other income is included in Note 20 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Realized gains generally result from sales or calls of available-for-sale securities we own. Refer to the analysis of this line item in the Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A for an explanation of current year activity. Operating expenses at this segment are primarily attributable to compensation expense and remained relatively consistent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2022.

We hold certain of our investments, primarily our MSRs, at our taxable REIT subsidiary. Our Provision for income taxes changes in relation to the amount of income earned from these assets and generally reflects positive income in the first three months of 2022.

(1)At March 31, 2022, $5 million of securities within the "Other third-party securities" column and $3 million of securities within the "Sequoia Securities on Balance Sheet" column of this table were used as hedges for our residential mortgage banking operations. These same securities are presented as a component of securities within our residential lending segment on our segment balance sheet.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we retained $4 million of securities from one Sequoia securitization. At March 31, 2022, our securities (both those held on our balance sheet and our economic interests in consolidated VIEs) consisted of fixed-rate assets (98%), adjustable-rate assets (1%) and hybrid assets that reset within the next year (1%).

We directly finance our holdings of real estate securities with a combination of non-recourse debt, non-marginable term debt and marginable debt in the form of repurchase (or “repo”) financing. At March 31, 2022, real estate securities with a fair value of $492 million (including securities owned in consolidated Sequoia and CAFL securitization entities) were financed with $317 million of long-term, non-marginable recourse debt through our subordinate securities financing facilities, re-performing loan securities with a fair value of $437 million were financed with $129 million of non-recourse securitization debt, and real estate securities with a fair value of $97 million (including securities owned in consolidated securitization entities) were financed with $75 million of short-term debt incurred through repurchase facilities with four different counterparties. The remaining $352 million of our securities, including certain securities we own that were issued by consolidated securitization entities, were financed with capital.

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

Bridge Loans Held-for-Investment

The following table provides the activity of bridge loans held-for-investment during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Principal repayments	(149,376)
Changes in fair value, net	(2,304)
Fair Value at End of Period	$	1,209,950

(1)We originate bridge loans at our TRS and then transfer them to our REIT. Origination fees and any fair value changes on these loans prior to transfer are recognized within Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income. Once the loans are transferred to our REIT, they are classified as held-for-investment, with subsequent fair value changes generally recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. For bridge loans held at our REIT that are transferred into our CAFL bridge securitization, we record any changes in fair value from the date of origination or purchase to the time of securitization as Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income. Once loans are transferred into this securitization, any changes in fair value are recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Our $1.21 billion of bridge loans held-for-investment at March 31, 2022 were comprised of first-lien, interest-only loans with a weighted average coupon of 6.47% and original maturities of six to 36 months. At origination, the weighted average FICO score of borrowers backing these loans was 744 and the weighted average LTV ratio of these loans was 67%. At March 31, 2022, of the 1,384 loans in this portfolio, 37 of these loans with an aggregate fair value of $38 million and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $42 million were in foreclosure and 56 loans with an aggregate fair value of $28 million and an unpaid principal balance of $33 million were greater than 90 days delinquent (certain loans in foreclosure were also 90 days delinquent).

We finance our bridge loans with a combination of recourse, non-marginable warehouse facilities, non-recourse, non-marginable warehouse facilities, and non-recourse securitization debt. At March 31, 2022, we had: $45 million of debt incurred through short-term warehouse facilities with one counterparty, which was secured by $62 million of business purpose bridge loans; $678 million of debt incurred through long-term facilities with three different counterparties, which was secured by $816 million of business purpose bridge loans; and $270 million of securitization debt secured by $292 million of business purpose bridge loans and $8 million of restricted cash.

(1)Our servicing investments are owned through our consolidated Servicing Investment entities. At March 31, 2022, our economic investment in these entities was $99 million (for GAAP purposes, we consolidated $336 million of servicing investments, $253 million of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, as well as other assets and liabilities for these entities). At December 31, 2021, our economic investment in these entities was $103 million (for GAAP purposes, we consolidated $385 million of servicing investments, $294 million of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, as well as other assets and liabilities for these entities).

(2)Our home equity investments presented in this table as of March 31, 2022, include $153 million of HEIs owned in our consolidated HEI securitization entity and $74 million of HEIs owned directly at Redwood. At March 31, 2022, our economic investment in this entity was $14 million (for GAAP purposes, we consolidated $153 million of HEIs and $121 million of ABS issued, as well as other assets and liabilities for this entity).

Reductions in investments for our servicing investments primarily represent recoveries of servicing advances within our consolidated servicing VIEs. Positive changes in fair value for HEIs in 2022 primarily reflect improvements in home prices (positive HPA). Changes in fair value for MSRs and excess servicing for 2022 include a reduction in basis from the regular receipt of scheduled cash flows, which was more than offset by a positive impact to fair value from a decrease in forecasted prepayment speeds.

Additional details on our other investments is 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.

Income Taxes

Taxable Income, REIT Status and Dividend Characterization

As a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code, Redwood is required to distribute to shareholders at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and meet certain other requirements that relate to, among other matters, the assets it holds, the income it generates, and the composition of its stockholders. To the extent Redwood retains REIT taxable income, including net capital gains, it is taxed at corporate tax rates. Redwood also earns taxable income at its taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS), which it is not required to distribute under the Internal Revenue Code.

In March 2022, our Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.23 per share for the first quarter of 2022, which was paid on March 31, 2022 to shareholders of record on March 24, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, our year-to-date dividend distributions of $0.23 per share exceeded our minimum distribution requirements and we believe that we have met all requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Many requirements for qualification as a REIT are complex and require analysis of particular facts and circumstances. Often there is only limited judicial or administrative interpretive guidance and as such there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or courts would agree with our various tax positions. If we were to fail to meet all the requirements for qualification as a REIT and the requirements for statutory relief, we would be subject to federal corporate income tax on our taxable income and we would not be able to elect to be taxed as a REIT for four years thereafter. Such an outcome could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

While our minimum REIT dividend requirement is generally 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, we carried a $37 million federal net operating loss carry forward (NOL) into 2022 at our REIT that affords us the ability to retain REIT taxable income up to the NOL amount, tax free, rather than distributing it as dividends. Federal income tax rules require the dividends paid deduction to be applied to reduce REIT taxable income before the applicability of NOLs is considered; therefore, REIT taxable income must exceed our dividend distribution for us to utilize a portion of our NOL and any remaining NOL amount will carry forward into future years.

While the exact amount is uncertain at this time, we currently expect a significant portion of our 2022 dividend distributions to be taxable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Any remaining amount is currently expected to be characterized as a return of capital, which in general is nontaxable (provided it does not exceed a shareholder's tax basis in Redwood shares) and reduces a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares (but not below zero). To the extent such distributions exceed a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares, such excess amount would be taxable as capital gain. Under the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs, none of Redwood’s 2022 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 2022 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a tax benefit of $2 million and a tax provision of $12 million, respectively. Our tax provision is primarily derived from the activities at our TRS as we do not book a material tax provision associated with income generated at our REIT. The switch to a tax benefit from a tax provision year-over-year was primarily the result of GAAP income being recorded at our TRS during this period in 2021 versus GAAP losses being recorded at our TRS during this period in 2022.

Realization of our deferred tax assets ("DTAs") is dependent on many factors, including generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of NOL carryforwards and generating sufficient capital gains in future periods prior to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards. To the extent we determine it is more likely than not that we will not be able to realize a deferred tax asset, we establish a valuation allowance accordingly. At December 31, 2021, we reported net federal ordinary and capital DTAs with no valuation allowance recorded against them. We continue to believe it is more likely than not that we will realize all of our federal deferred tax assets; therefore, there continues to be no valuation allowance recorded against our net federal DTAs.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Summary

In addition to the proceeds from equity and debt capital-raising transactions, our principal sources of cash and liquidity consist of borrowings under mortgage loan warehouse facilities, secured term financing facilities, securities repurchase agreements, 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 operating activities. 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, and to fund our operations.

At March 31, 2022, our total capital was $2.10 billion and included $1.45 billion of equity capital and $653 million of convertible notes and long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet, including $199 million of convertible debt due in 2023, $150 million of convertible debt due in 2024, $172 million of exchangeable debt due in 2025, and $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037.

As of March 31, 2022, our unrestricted cash was $409 million, and we estimate we had approximately $140 million of available capital. While we believe our available cash is sufficient to fund our operations, we may raise equity or debt capital from time to time to increase our unrestricted cash and liquidity, to repay existing debt, to make long-term portfolio investments, to fund strategic acquisitions and investments, or for other purposes. To the extent we seek to raise additional capital, our approach will continue to be based on what we believe to be in the best interests of the company.

In the discussion that follows and throughout this document, we distinguish between marginable and non-marginable debt. When we refer to non-marginable debt and marginable debt, we are referring to whether or not such debt is subject to market value-based margin calls on underlying collateral that is non-delinquent. If a mortgage loan is financed under a marginable warehouse facility, to the extent the market value of the loan declines (which market value is generally determined by the counterparty under the facility), we will be subject to a margin call, meaning we will be required to either immediately reacquire the loan or meet a margin requirement to pledge additional collateral, such as cash or additional residential loans, in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. Non-marginable debt may be subject to a margin call due to delinquency of the mortgage or security being financed, a decline in the value of the underlying asset securing the collateral, or a change in the interest rate of a specified reference security relative to a base interest rate amount. For example, we could be subject to a margin call on non-marginable debt if an appraisal or broker price opinion indicates a decline in the estimated value of the property securing the mortgage loan that is financed by us under a loan warehouse facility.

We also distinguish between recourse and non-recourse debt. When we refer to non-recourse debt, we mean debt that is payable solely from the assets pledged to secure such debt, and under which debt no creditor or lender has direct or indirect recourse to us, or any other entity or person (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"), if such assets are inadequate or unavailable to pay off such debt.

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

Repurchase Authorization

Our Board of Directors previously approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $100 million of our common stock, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. Under this authorization, shares or securities may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This authorization has no expiration date and does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not repurchase any shares or debt. At March 31, 2022, $78 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities. Like other investments we may make, any repurchases of our common stock or debt securities under this authorization would reduce our available capital and unrestricted cash described above.

Cash Flows and Liquidity for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Cash flows from our mortgage banking activities and our investments can be volatile from quarter to quarter depending on many factors, including the profitability of mortgage banking activities, 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 investments or activities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities were negative $292 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This amount includes the net cash utilized during the period from the purchase and sale of residential mortgage loans and the origination and sale of our business purpose loans associated with our mortgage banking activities. Purchases of loans are financed to a large extent with short-term and long-term debt, for which changes in cash are included as a component of financing activities. Excluding cash flows from the purchase, origination, sale, and principal payments of loans classified as held-for-sale, cash flows from operating activities were positive $126 million and positive $90 million during the first three months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our net cash provided by investing activities was $270 million and primarily resulted from proceeds from principal payments on loans held-for-investment. Although we generally intend to hold our loans and investment securities as long-term investments, we may sell certain of these assets in order to manage our liquidity needs and interest rate risk, to meet other operating objectives, and to adapt to market conditions.

Because many of our investment securities and loans 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 at consolidated securitization entities would generally be used to repay ABS issued by those entities.

As presented in the "Supplemental Noncash Information" subsection of our consolidated statements of cash flows, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we transferred loans between held-for-sale and held-for-investment classification and retained securities from securitizations we sponsored, which represent significant non-cash transactions that were not included in cash flows from investing activities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our net cash used in financing activities was $27 million. This primarily resulted from $531 million of net repayments of short-term debt as we reduced our overall inventory for our mortgage banking businesses, as well as from the payment of our quarterly dividend. These outflows were partially offset by proceeds from net borrowings under long-term debt and ABS issued to finance higher balances of investment assets, as well as cash raised through stock issuances under our ATM program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we declared dividends of $0.23 per common share. On March 14, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.23 per share for the first quarter of 2022, which was paid on March 31, 2022 to shareholders of record on March 24, 2022.

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

94

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 contract or notional amount of the transaction. For additional information on our commitments and contingencies as of March 31, 2022, see Note 16 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations during the twelve months following March 31, 2022 include maturing short-term debt, interest payments on short-term and long-term debt, and payments on operating leases. Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations beyond the twelve months following March 31, 2022 include maturing long-term debt, interest payments on long-term debt and payments on operating leases. 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, 2021 under the caption Contractual Obligations.

Several 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 in the first quarter of 2022 and have other such facilities with scheduled maturities in 2022. While there is no assurance of our ability to renew these facilities, market conditions for these types of facilities remain favorable and we would expect to extend these in the normal course of business. Aside from these facilities, we expect to meet our obligations coming due in less than one year from March 31, 2022, through a combination of cash on hand, payments of principal and interest we receive from our investment portfolio assets, proceeds from the sale of investment portfolio assets, cash generated from our operating activities, or incremental borrowings under existing, new or amended financing facilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the highest balance of our short-term debt outstanding was $2.39 billion. See Note 13 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our short-term debt.

Liquidity Needs for our Mortgage Banking Activities

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

At March 31, 2022, we had residential warehouse facilities outstanding with seven different counterparties, with $2.75 billion of total capacity and $1.53 billion of available capacity. These included non-marginable facilities with $1.38 billion of total capacity and marginable facilities with $1.38 billion of total capacity.

At March 31, 2022, we had business purpose warehouse facilities outstanding with four different counterparties, with $1.85 billion of total capacity and $760 million of available capacity. All of these facilities are non-marginable.

Several of these facilities have variable interest rates based on LIBOR or SOFR benchmarks and recent policy statements from the Federal Reserve indicate the likelihood of an increasing federal funds rate, which would result in higher benchmark rates and interest costs for us under certain of our debt facilities.

As discussed above, several of the facilities we use to finance our mortgage banking loan inventory are short-term in nature and will require renewals. Additionally, because several of our warehouse facilities are uncommitted, at any given time we may not be able to obtain additional financing under them when we need it, exposing us to, among other things, liquidity risks. Additional information regarding risks related to the debt we use to finance our mortgage banking operations can be found under the heading "Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities" that follows within this section.

Liquidity Needs for our Investment Portfolio

We use various forms of secured recourse and non-recourse debt to finance assets in our investment portfolio. We distinguish our debt between recourse and non-recourse, as our non-recourse debt is mostly comprised of ABS issued, which has unique characteristics that differentiate it in important ways from our recourse debt. When we refer to non-recourse debt, we mean debt that is payable solely from the assets pledged to secure such debt, and under which debt no creditor or lender has direct or indirect recourse to us, or any other entity or person (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"), if such assets are inadequate or unavailable to pay off such debt.

95

ABS issued represents debt of securitization entities that we consolidate for GAAP reporting purposes. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained from these entities (typically subordinate securities and interest only securities). Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. As the debt issued by these entities is not a direct obligation of Redwood, and since the debt generally can remain outstanding for the full term of the loans it is financing within each securitization, this debt effectively provides permanent financing for these assets. See Notes 4 and 14, respectively, in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information on our principles of consolidation and our asset-backed securities issued.

Separately, we use non-recourse debt in the form of non-marginable term facilities to finance a portion of our business purpose bridge loan portfolio. While this debt is non-recourse to Redwood, it does have fixed terms with prepayment options that allows us to refinance this debt or ultimately repay it upon maturity. The remainder of the debt we use to finance our investments is recourse debt. For securities we have financed, the majority of our financing is in the form of recourse non-marginable secured term debt, with the smaller remaining amount being marginable securities repurchase debt. Additionally, a portion of our business purpose bridge loan portfolio is financed with recourse non-marginable secured term debt.

At March 31, 2022, in aggregate, we had $2.94 billion of secured recourse debt outstanding, financing our mortgage banking and investment portfolio, of which $619 million was marginable and $2.32 billion was non-marginable.

Corporate Capital

In addition to secured recourse and non-recourse debt we use specifically in association with our mortgage banking operations and within our investment portfolio, we also use unsecured recourse debt to finance our overall operations. This is generally in the form of convertible debt securities we issue in the public markets and also includes trust preferred securities. See Note 15 in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information on our long-term debt.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

For additional information on commitments and contingencies that could impact our liquidity and capital resources, see Note 16 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 16 to the Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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

As described above under the heading “Results of Operations,” in the ordinary course of our business, we use debt financing obtained through several different types of borrowing facilities to, among other things, finance the acquisition and/or origination of residential and business purpose mortgage loans (including those we acquire or originate in anticipation of sale or securitization), and finance investments in securities and other investments. We may also use short- and long-term borrowings to fund other aspects of our business and operations, including the repurchase of shares of our common 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, 2021, under the caption(s) “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities,” and “Our use of financial leverage exposes us to increased risks, including liquidity risks from margin calls and potential breaches of the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities, which could result in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements.”

Our sources of debt financing include secured borrowings under residential and business purpose mortgage loan warehouse facilities (including recourse and non-recourse warehouse facilities), short-term securities repurchase facilities, a $10 million committed line of short-term secured credit from a bank, short-term servicer advance financing, a secured, revolving debt facility collateralized by mortgage servicing rights, and subordinate securities financing facilities.

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).

96

Under many of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities and our short-term securities repurchase facilities, while transferred or pledged assets are financed under the facility, to the extent the value of the assets, or the collateral underlying those assets, declines, we are generally required to either immediately reacquire the assets or meet a margin requirement to transfer or pledge additional assets or cash in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. We refer to borrowing facilities with margin call provisions based on changes in the market value of transferred or pledged assets, which determinations of market value are generally within the sole discretion of the lending counterparty, as marginable debt. Borrowing facilities that we refer to as non-marginable debt may be subject to a margin call due to delinquency of the mortgage or security being financed, a decline in the value of the underlying asset securing the collateral, or a change in the interest rate of a specified reference security relative to a base interest rate amount. For example, we could be subject to a margin call on non-marginable debt if an appraisal or broker price opinion indicates a decline in the estimated value of the property securing the mortgage loan that is financed by us under a loan warehouse facility, in which case the creditor may demand that we transfer additional collateral to the creditor (in the form of cash, U.S. Treasury obligations (in certain cases), or additional mortgage loans) with a value equal to the amount of the decline. Of our active financing arrangements with outstanding balances at March 31, 2022, only our short-term securities repurchase facilities (with $75 million of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2022), and seven of our residential mortgage loan warehouse facilities (with $1.22 billion of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2022) retain market-value based margin call provisions.

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, 2021 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Margin Call Provisions Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.” Financial covenants included in these facilities are further described Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Financial Covenants Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.”

Because many of these borrowing facilities are uncommitted, at any given time we may not be able to obtain additional financing under them when we need it, exposing us 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, 2021 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, 2021 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, 2021 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, 2021 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.

At March 31, 2022, and through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with the financial covenants associated with our short-term debt and other debt financing facilities. In particular, with respect to: (i) financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum dollar amount of stockholders’ equity or tangible net worth at Redwood, at March 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2022 our level of recourse indebtedness resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants at a level such that we could incur at least $600 million in additional recourse indebtedness.

97

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 5 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 March 31, 2022, including the significant inputs used to estimate their fair values and the impact the changes in their fair values had to our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 5 in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, incorporated herein by reference, for the same information on these assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021. 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, 2021, 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, 2021.

In addition to the market risks described above, our business and results of operations are subject to a variety of types of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

98

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, 2021, 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, 2021.

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 first quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In February 2018, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of our common stock, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchases of common stock to $100 million, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. This authorization increased the previous share repurchase authorization approved in February 2016 and has no expiration date. This repurchase authorization does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. Under this authorization, shares or securities may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not repurchase any shares. At March 31, 2022, $78 million of this current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities.

The following table contains information on the shares of our common stock that we purchased or otherwise acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We deliver customized housing credit investments to a diverse mix of investors through our best-in-class securitization platforms, whole-loan distribution activities and our publicly-traded securities. Our aggregation, origination and investment activities have evolved to incorporate a diverse mix of residential, business purpose and multifamily assets. Our goal is to provide attractive returns to shareholders through a stable and growing stream of earnings and dividends, capital appreciation, and a commitment to technological innovation that facilitates risk-minded scale. We operate our business in three segments: Residential Mortgage Banking, Business Purpose Mortgage Banking, and Investment Portfolio.

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

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

Redwood 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe consolidated financial statements presented herein are at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") — as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) — have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements according to these SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures included in these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments have been made to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at March 31, 2022 and results of operations for all periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

In accordance with GAAP, we determine whether we must consolidate transferred financial assets and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for financial reporting purposes. We currently consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia securitization entities issued prior to 2012 ("Legacy Sequoia"), certain entities formed during and after 2012 in connection with the securitization of Redwood Select prime loans and Redwood Choice expanded-prime loans ("Sequoia"), entities formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest single-family rental and bridge loans ("CAFL") and an entity formed in connection with the securitization of home equity investment contracts ("HEIs"). We also consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and Freddie Mac Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction ("SLST") securitizations in which we have invested. Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood Trust, Inc. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained, although for certain entities we are exposed to financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor or co-sponsor, servicing administrator, collateral administrator or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.

For financial reporting purposes, the underlying loans owned at the consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST entities are shown under Residential loans held-for-investment, at fair value, the underlying loans at the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entity are shown under Multifamily loans held-for-investment, at fair value, the underlying single-family rental and bridge loans at the consolidated CAFL entities are shown under Business purpose loans held-for-investment, at fair value, and the underlying HEIs at the consolidated HEI securitization entity are shown under Other investments, at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. The asset-backed securities (“ABS”) issued to third parties by these entities are shown under ABS issued. In our consolidated statements of income, we record interest income on the loans owned at these entities and interest expense on the ABS issued by these entities as well as fair value changes, other income and expenses associated with these entities' activities. See Note 14 for further discussion on ABS issued.

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

See Note 4 for further discussion on principles of consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

Acquisitions

Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for additional information regarding the acquisitions of 5 Arches, LLC ("5 Arches") and CoreVest American Finance Lender, LLC and certain affiliated entities ("CoreVest"), including purchase price allocations.

In connection with the acquisitions of 5 Arches and CoreVest in 2019, we identified and recorded finite-lived intangible assets totaling $25 million and $57 million, respectively. The table below presents the amortization period and carrying value of our intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization at March 31, 2022.

Table 2.1 – Intangible Assets – Activity

	Intangible Assets at Acquisition		Accumulated Amortization at March 31, 2022		Carrying Value at March 31, 2022		Weighted Average Amortization Period (in years)
(Dollars in Thousands)
Borrower network	$	45,300	$	(15,909)	$	29,391	7
Broker network	18,100		(11,162)		6,938		5
Non-compete agreements	9,500		(8,308)		1,192		3
Tradenames	4,000		(3,494)		506		3
Developed technology	1,800		(1,800)		—		2
Loan administration fees on existing loan assets	2,600		(2,600)		—		1
Total	$	81,300	$	(43,273)	$	38,027	6

All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded intangible asset amortization expense of $4 million. Estimated future amortization expense is summarized in the table below.

Table 2.2 – Intangible Asset Amortization Expense by Year

(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022
2022 (9 months)	$	9,266
2023	10,091
2024	7,075
2025	6,471
2026	5,124
Total Future Intangible Asset Amortization	$	38,027

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators and additionally evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets to determine if revisions to the remaining periods of amortization are warranted. We reviewed our finite-lived intangible assets and determined that the estimated lives were appropriate and that there were no indicators of impairment at March 31, 2022.

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, 2021 is a summary of our significant accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs")

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)." This new guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by reducing the number of accounting models to separately present certain conversion features in equity. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2022, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On March 28, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method," which will expand companies' abilities to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of portfolios of financial assets (or beneficial interests) in a fair value hedge. The ASU expands the use of the portfolio layer method (previously referred to as the last-of-layer method) to allow multiple hedges of a single closed portfolio of assets using spot starting, forward starting, and amortizing-notional swaps. The ASU also permits both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets to be included in the closed portfolio of assets hedged in a portfolio layer hedge. The ASU further requires that basis adjustments not be allocated to individual assets for active portfolio layer method hedges, but rather be maintained on the closed portfolio of assets as a whole. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date and do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On March 31, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures." ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross writeoffs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date and do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This new guidance clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. This new guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our consolidated financial statements. Through March 31, 2022, we have not elected to apply the optional expedients and exceptions to any of our existing contracts, hedging relationships, or other transactions.

We have an established cross-functional group that has evaluated our exposure to LIBOR, reviewed relevant contracts and has monitored regulatory updates to assess the potential impact to our business, processes and technology from the ultimate full cessation of LIBOR in 2023, and has established a LIBOR transition plan to facilitate an orderly transition to alternative reference rates. We continue to remain on track with our LIBOR transition plan, which requires different solutions depending on the underlying asset or liability with LIBOR exposure. At March 31, 2022, our primary LIBOR exposure included the following: $966 million of repo or warehouse debt, $381 million of interest rate swaps, $858 million of bridge loans, and $140 million of trust preferred securities and subordinated notes debt. Since December 31, 2021, certain of our contracts, such as interest rate swaps, have experienced an orderly market transition and we have transitioned a substantial portion of our derivative positions off of LIBOR-benchmarks. Other contracts, such as warehouse debt agreements, require bilateral amendments, many of which we have amended or are currently in the process of amending. We anticipate most of these facilities will be amended in 2022, with sufficient time remaining to resolve the remainder. In early 2022, we began benchmarking all newly originated bridge loans to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), and our existing portfolio of bridge loans are short-dated and we expect the vast majority to mature before the LIBOR cessation date in 2023. Additionally, as the result of recent legislation that was passed in the state of New York, our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes are expected to convert to SOFR upon the cessation of LIBOR.

Balance Sheet Netting

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

The table below presents financial assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements categorized by financial instrument, together with corresponding financial instruments and corresponding collateral received or pledged at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(1)Amounts presented in these columns are limited in total to the net amount of assets or liabilities presented in the prior column by instrument. In certain cases, there is excess cash collateral or financial assets we have pledged to a counterparty (which may, in certain circumstances, be a clearinghouse) that exceed the financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Additionally, in certain cases, counterparties may have pledged excess cash collateral to us that exceeds our corresponding financial assets. In each case, any of these excess amounts are excluded from the table although they are separately reported in our consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, respectively.

(2)Interest rate agreements and TBAs are components of derivatives instruments on our consolidated balance sheets. Loan warehouse debt, which is secured by certain residential and business purpose loans, and security repurchase agreements are components of Short-term debt and Long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.

For each category of financial instrument set forth in the table above, the assets and liabilities resulting from individual transactions within that category between us and a counterparty are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement with that counterparty that provides for individual transactions to be aggregated and treated as a single transaction. For certain categories of these instruments, our transactions generally are cleared and settled through one or more clearinghouses that are substituted as our counterparty. References herein to master netting arrangements or similar agreements include the arrangements and agreements governing the clearing and settlement of these transactions through the clearinghouses. In the event of the termination and close-out of any of those transactions, the corresponding master netting agreement or similar agreement provides for settlement on a net basis. Any such settlement would include the proceeds of the liquidation of any corresponding collateral, subject to certain limitations on termination, settlement, and liquidation of collateral that may apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a party. Such limitations should not inhibit the eventual practical realization of the principal benefits of those transactions or the corresponding master netting arrangement or similar agreement and any corresponding collateral.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

GAAP requires us to consider whether securitizations we sponsor and other transfers of financial assets should be treated as sales or financings, as well as whether any VIEs that we hold variable interests in – for example, certain legal entities often used in securitization and other structured finance transactions – should be included in our consolidated financial statements. 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

At March 31, 2022, we consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia, CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. Each of these entities is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities of these entities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of ours. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have retained, although for certain securitizations, we are exposed to financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor, servicing administrator, collateral administrator, or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.

We also consolidate two Servicing Investment entities formed to invest in servicing-related assets that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At March 31, 2022, we held an 80% ownership interest in, and were responsible for the management of, each entity. See Note 10 for a further description of these entities and the investments they hold and Note 12 for additional information on the minority partner’s non-controlling interest. Additionally, we consolidated an entity that was formed to finance servicer advances that we determined was a VIE and for which we, through our control of one of the aforementioned partnerships, were the primary beneficiary. The servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, secured by servicer advances. We consolidate the securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. See Note 13 for additional information on the servicer advance financing. At March 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of our investment in the Servicing Investment entities was $99 million.

During 2021, we consolidated a HEI securitization entity formed to invest in HEIs that we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At March 31, 2022, we owned a portion of the subordinate certificates issued by the entity and had certain decision making rights for the entity. See Note 10 for a further description of this entity and the investments it holds and Note 12 for additional information on non-controlling interests in the entity. We consolidate the HEI securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood.

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

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

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

(1)Value of our investments in VIEs, as presented in this table, represent the fair value of our economic interests in the VIEs only for consolidated VIEs we account for under the CFE election. CAFL includes SFR loan securitizations we account for under the CFE election and a bridge loan securitization for which we did not make the CFE election. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our interests in the CAFL SFR securitizations were $306 million and $302 million, respectively, and our net carrying value in the CAFL Bridge securitization was $37 million and $38 million, respectively. Freddie Mac SLST includes securitizations we account for under the CFE election and also includes ABS issued in relation to a resecuritization of the securities we own in the consolidated Freddie Mac SLST VIEs, that we account for at amortized historical cost. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our interests in the Freddie Mac SLST securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $437 million and $445 million, respectively, and the carrying value of the ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost was $129 million and $143 million, respectively.

The following table presents income (loss) from these VIEs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities, as we did not meet the GAAP sale criteria at the time we transferred financial assets to these entities. Our involvement in consolidated Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities continues in the following ways: (i) we continue to hold subordinate investments in each entity, and for certain entities, more senior investments; (ii) we maintain certain discretionary rights associated with our sponsorship of, or our subordinate investments in, each entity including rights to direct loss mitigation activities; and (iii) we continue to hold a right to call the assets of certain entities (once they have been paid down below a specified threshold) at a price equal to, or in excess of, the current outstanding principal amount of the entity’s asset-backed securities issued. These factors have resulted in our continuing to consolidate the assets and liabilities of these Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities in accordance with GAAP.

We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and SLST securitization trusts resulting from our investment in subordinate securities issued by these trusts, and in the case of certain CAFL securitizations, resulting from securities acquired through our acquisition of CoreVest. Additionally, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of Servicing Investment entities from our investment in servicer advance investments and excess MSRs. In each case, we maintain certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of these investments that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest, as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and the right to receive benefits of and the obligation to absorb losses from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs.

Analysis of Unconsolidated VIEs with Continuing Involvement

Since 2012, we have transferred residential loans to 46 Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of March 31, 2022, and accounted for these transfers as sales for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with ASC 860. 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-servicer to perform) and the receipt of interest income associated with the securities we retained.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we called three of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities, and purchased $102 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from the securitization trusts. In association with these calls, we realized a $0.3 million gain on the securities we owned from these called securitizations, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income. At March 31, 2022, we held $246 million of loans for sale at fair value that were acquired following the calls.

The following table presents information related to securitization transactions that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Analysis of Unconsolidated Third-Party VIEs

Third-party VIEs are securitization entities in which we maintain an economic interest, but do not sponsor. Our economic interest may include several securities and other investments from the same third-party VIE, and in those cases, the analysis is performed in consideration of all of our interests. The following table presents a summary of our interests in third-party VIEs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, grouped by asset type.

Table 4.8 – Third-Party Sponsored VIE Summary

(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Mortgage-Backed Securities
Senior	$	9,960	$	3,572
Subordinate	215,908		228,083
Total Mortgage-Backed Securities	225,868		231,655
Excess MSR	9,579		10,400
Total Investments in Third-Party Sponsored VIEs	$	235,447	$	242,055

We determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these third-party VIEs, as we do not have the required power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Specifically, we do not service or manage these entities or otherwise solely hold decision making powers that are significant. As a result of this assessment, we do not consolidate any of the underlying assets and liabilities of these third-party VIEs – we only account for our specific interests in them.

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Mar. 31, 2022

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For financial reporting purposes, we follow a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., our own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we elected the fair value option for $5 million and $22 million of securities, respectively, $2.12 billion and $3.10 billion of residential loans (principal balance), respectively, $920 million and $386 million of business purpose loans (principal balance), respectively. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we elected the fair value option for $40 million of HEIs and $6 million of Other Investments. We anticipate electing the fair value option for all future purchases of residential and business purpose loans that we intend to sell to third parties or transfer to securitizations, as well as for certain securities we purchase, including IO securities, fixed-rate securities rated investment grade or higher and HEIs.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities that are reported at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as well as the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs used to measure fair value.

Footnotes to Table 5.7

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

(2)The fair value of the loans and HEIs held by consolidated entities was based on the fair value of the ABS issued by these entities and the securities and other investments we own in those entities, which we determined were more readily observable in accordance with accounting guidance for collateralized financing entities. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL SFR, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities was $246 million, $306 million, $437 million, $32 million, and $14 million, respectively.

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

(4)As a market convention, certain securities are priced to a no-loss yield and therefore do not include default and loss severity assumptions.

Determination of Fair Value

We generally use both market comparable information and discounted cash flow modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs as indicated in the preceding table. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs - such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, interest rates, or other valuation assumptions - in isolation would likely result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Included in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.

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

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]

Real Estate Securities

Real Estate Securities

We invest in real estate securities that we create and retain from our Sequoia securitizations or acquire from third parties. The following table presents the fair values of our real estate securities by type at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Table 9.1 – Fair Values of Real Estate Securities by Type

(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021

Available-for-sale	185,198		206,792
Total Real Estate Securities	$	358,882	$	377,411

Our real estate securities include mortgage-backed securities, which are presented in accordance with their general position within a securitization structure based on their rights to cash flows. Senior securities are those interests in a securitization that generally have the first right to cash flows and are last in line to absorb losses. Mezzanine securities are interests that are generally subordinate to senior securities in their rights to receive cash flows, and have subordinate securities below them that are first to absorb losses. Subordinate securities are all interests below mezzanine. 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.

Trading Securities

We elected the fair value option for certain securities and classify them as trading securities. Our trading securities include both residential and multifamily mortgage-backed securities, and our residential securities also include securities backed by re-performing loans ("RPL"). The following table presents the fair value of trading securities by position and collateral type at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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

At March 31, 2022, we had $12 million of AFS securities with contractual maturities less than five years, $4 million with contractual maturities greater than five years but less than ten years, and the remainder of our AFS securities had contractual maturities greater than ten years.

The following table presents the components of carrying value (which equals fair value) of AFS securities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

December 31, 2021	7,078		(251)		6,827		1,600		(46)		1,554

At March 31, 2022, after giving effect to purchases, sales, and extinguishment due to credit losses, our consolidated balance sheet included 82 AFS securities, of which six were in a unrealized loss position and one was in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer. At December 31, 2021, our consolidated balance sheet included 85 AFS securities, of which four were in an unrealized loss position and one was in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer.

Evaluating AFS Securities for Credit Losses

Gross unrealized losses on our AFS securities were $2 million at March 31, 2022. We evaluate all securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is credit-related (resulting in an allowance for credit losses recorded in earnings) or non-credit-related (resulting in an unrealized loss through other comprehensive income). At March 31, 2022, we did not intend to sell any of our AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at their maturity. We review our AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position to identify those securities with losses based on an assessment of changes in expected cash flows for such securities, which considers recent security performance and expected future performance of the underlying collateral.

At March 31, 2022, our current expected credit loss ("CECL") allowance related to our AFS securities was $0.7 million. AFS securities for which an allowance is recognized have experienced, or are expected to experience, credit-related adverse cash flow changes. In determining our estimate of cash flows for AFS securities we may consider factors such as structural credit enhancement, past and expected future performance of underlying mortgage loans, including timing of expected future cash flows, which are informed by prepayment rates, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing loans, FICO scores at loan origination, year of origination, loan-to-value ratios, and geographic concentrations, as well as general market assessments. Changes in our evaluation of these factors impacted the cash flows expected to be collected at the assessment date and were used to determine if there were credit-related adverse cash flows and if so, the amount of credit related losses. Significant judgment is used in both our analysis of the expected cash flows for our AFS securities and any determination of security credit losses.

The table below summarizes the weighted average of the significant credit quality indicators we used for the credit loss allowance on our AFS securities at March 31, 2022.

Servicer advance investments

We and a third-party co-investor, through two partnerships (“SA Buyers”) consolidated by us, purchased the outstanding servicer advances and excess MSRs related to a portfolio of legacy residential mortgage-backed securitizations serviced by the co-investor (Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information regarding the transactions). At March 31, 2022, we had funded $148 million of total capital to the SA Buyers (see Note 16 for additional detail).

At March 31, 2022, our servicer advance investments had a carrying value of $303 million and were associated with a portfolio of residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $12.70 billion. The outstanding servicer advance receivables associated with this investment were $266 million at March 31, 2022, which were financed with short-term non-recourse securitization debt (see Note 13 for additional detail on this debt). The servicer advance receivables were comprised of the following types of advances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Table 10.2 – Components of Servicer Advance Receivables

(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Principal and interest advances	$	87,083	$	94,148
Escrow advances (taxes and insurance advances)	138,465		172,847
Corporate advances	40,401		43,958
Total Servicer Advance Receivables	$	265,949	$	310,953

We account for our servicer advance investments at fair value and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $5 million and $3 million of interest income, respectively, through Other interest income, and recorded a net market valuation loss of $3 million and loss of $0.2 million, respectively, through Investment fair value changes, net in our consolidated statements of income.

HEIs

In 2019, we began purchasing home equity investment contracts from a third party under a flow purchase agreement. 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 a deed of trust or a mortgage. Our investments in HEIs allow us to share in both home price appreciation and depreciation of the associated property.

During the third quarter of 2021, we amended our original flow purchase agreement with the third party and committed to purchase $125 million of HEIs from the date of the amended agreement, and during the first quarter of 2022, we exercised an option and committed to acquire an additional $125 million of HEIs. At March 31, 2022, we had acquired $117 million of HEIs cumulatively, including $70 million of our $250 million commitment, under the third-party flow purchase agreement.

As of March 31, 2022, we owned $74 million of HEIs at Redwood and consolidated $153 million of HEIs through the HEI securitization entity. We account for these investments under the fair value option and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a net market valuation gain of $1 million and a net market valuation gain of $5 million, respectively, related to HEIs owned at Redwood through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

We consolidate the HEI securitization in accordance with GAAP and have elected to account for it under the CFE election. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded net market valuation gains of $3 million (including $1 million of interest expense) related to our net investment in the HEI securitization entity through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Strategic Investments

Strategic investments represent investments we have made in companies either through our RWT Horizons venture investment platform or separately at a corporate level. At March 31, 2022, we had made a total of 21 investments in companies through RWT Horizons with a total carrying value of $25 million, and two corporate-level investments, including our strategic investment in Churchill Finance. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded $0.1 million of Other income from our strategic investments.

Excess MSRs

In association with our servicer advance investments described above, we (through our consolidated SA Buyers) invested in excess MSRs associated with the same portfolio of legacy residential mortgage-backed securitizations. Additionally, we own excess MSRs associated with specified pools of multifamily loans. We account for our excess MSRs at fair value and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $4 million and $3 million of interest income, respectively, through Other interest income, and recorded net market valuation losses of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

We invest in mortgage servicing rights associated with residential mortgage loans and contract with licensed sub-servicers to perform all servicing functions for these loans. The majority of our investments in MSRs were made through the retention of servicing rights associated with the residential jumbo mortgage loans that we acquired and subsequently sold to third parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we retained $5 million of MSRs from sales of residential loans to third parties. We hold our MSR investments at our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our MSRs had a fair value of $20 million and $12 million, respectively, and were associated with loans with an aggregate principal balance of $2.36 billion and $2.12 billion, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, including net market valuation gains and losses on our MSRs, we recorded net income of $4.3 million and $1 million, respectively, through Other income on our consolidated statements of income related to our MSRs.

Risk Management Derivatives

To manage, to varying degrees, risks associated with certain assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, we may enter into derivative contracts. At March 31, 2022, we were party to swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $526 million, TBA agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $7.94 billion, and interest rate futures contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $281 million. At December 31, 2021, we were party to swaps and swaptions with an aggregate notional amount of $2.10 billion, futures with an aggregate notional amount of $72 million and TBA agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $3.31 billion.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, risk management derivatives had a net market valuation gain of $92 million, and a net market valuation gain of $93 million, respectively. Market valuation gains and losses are recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net, Investment fair value changes, net and Other income on our consolidated statements of income.

Loan Purchase and Interest Rate Lock Commitments

LPCs and IRLCs that qualify as derivatives are recorded at their estimated fair values. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, LPCs and IRLCs had a net market valuation loss of $42 million and loss of $52 million, respectively, that were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

For interest rate agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income was $75 million and $76 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We are amortizing this loss into interest expense over the remaining term of the debt they were originally hedging. As of March 31, 2022, we expect to amortize $4 million of realized losses related to terminated cash flow hedges into interest expense over the next twelve months.

The following table illustrates the impact on interest expense of our interest rate agreements accounted for as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

(1)Includes $270 million (principal balance) of ABS issued by a CAFL bridge securitization trust sponsored by Redwood and accounted for at amortized cost at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(2)Includes $131 million and $145 million (principal balance) of ABS issued by a re-securitization trust sponsored by Redwood and accounted for at amortized cost at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(3)Certain ABS issued by CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, and HEI securitization entities are subject to early redemption and interest rate step-ups as described below.

During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of a securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest bridge loans (presented within CAFL in table 14.1 above), which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $270 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust. The ABS were issued at a discount and we have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost. At March 31, 2022, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $270 million, and the unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs were $2 million, for a net carrying value of $268 million. The weighted average stated coupon of the ABS issued was 2.34% at issuance. The ABS issued by the CAFL bridge entity are subject to an optional redemption in March 2024, and beginning in March 2025 the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 2% through final maturity in March 2029. The ABS issued by this securitization were backed by assets including $292 million of bridge loans, $8 million of restricted cash and $6 million of other assets at March 31, 2022. The securitization is structured with $300 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 30 months of the transaction (through March 2024), unless an amortization event occurs prior to the expiration of the 30-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.

During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of the HEI securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of HEIs, which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $146 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained a portion of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust. 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 (including accrued interest) recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. The ABS issued by the HEI securitization entity are subject to an optional redemption in September 2023, and beginning in September 2024 the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 2% through final maturity in 2052.

During the third quarter of 2020, we transferred all of the subordinate securities we owned from two consolidated re-performing loan securitization VIEs sponsored by Freddie Mac SLST to a re-securitization trust, which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $210 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained 100% of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. The ABS was issued at a discount and we have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost. At March 31, 2022, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $131 million, and the debt discount and deferred issuance costs were $2 million, for a net carrying value of $129 million. The stated coupon of the ABS issued was 4.75% at issuance and the final stated maturity occurs in July 2059. The ABS issued are subject to an optional redemption in July 2022 and in July 2023 the ABS interest rate steps up to 7.75%.

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 March 31, 2022, the majority of the ABS issued and outstanding had contractual maturities beyond five years. See Note 4 for detail on the carrying value components of the collateral for ABS issued and outstanding. The following table summarizes the accrued interest payable on ABS issued at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Interest due on consolidated ABS issued is payable monthly.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

At March 31, 2022, we were obligated under seven non-cancelable operating leases with expiration dates through 2031 for $23 million of cumulative lease payments. Our operating lease expense was $1 million each for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following table presents our future lease commitments at March 31, 2022.

Table 16.1 – Future Lease Commitments by Year

(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022
2022 (9 months)	$	3,228
2023	4,428
2024	4,338
2025	3,475
2026	3,420
2027 and thereafter	4,553
Total Lease Commitments	23,442
Less: Imputed interest	(3,224)
Operating Lease Liabilities	$	20,218

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not enter into any new office leases. At March 31, 2022, our operating lease liabilities were $20 million, which were a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities, and our operating lease right-of-use assets were $18 million, which were a component of Other assets.

We determined that none of our leases contained an implicit interest rate and used a discount rate equal to our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis to determine the present value of our total lease payments. As such, we determined the applicable discount rate for each of our leases using a swap rate plus an applicable spread for borrowing arrangements secured by our real estate loans and securities for a length of time equal to the remaining lease term on the date of adoption. At March 31, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our leases was 6 years and 5.1%, respectively.

Commitment to Fund Bridge Loans

As of March 31, 2022, we had commitments to fund up to $792 million of additional advances on existing 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 March 31, 2022, we carried a $1 million contingent liability related to these commitments to fund construction advances. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a net market valuation loss of $0.2 million related to this liability through Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a net market valuation gain of $1 million related to this liability through Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Commitment to Fund Partnerships

In 2018, we invested in two partnerships created to acquire and manage certain mortgage servicing related assets (see Note 10 for additional detail). In connection with this investment, we are required to fund future net servicer advances related to the underlying mortgage loans. The actual amount of net servicer advances we may fund in the future is subject to significant uncertainty and will be based on the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans.

Commitment to Acquire HEIs

In the third quarter of 2021, we amended an existing flow purchase agreement with a third party and committed to acquire $125 million of HEIs from the date of the amended agreement. In the first quarter of 2022, we exercised an option and committed to acquire an additional $125 million of HEIs from the third-party HEI originator. At March 31, 2022, we had acquired $70 million HEIs of our $250 million commitment under this flow purchase agreement. See Note 10 for additional detail on these investments.

Commitments to Fund Strategic Investments

In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into a $25 million commitment to an investment fund with the mission of providing quality workforce housing opportunities in San Francisco Bay Area urban communities. At March 31, 2022, we had funded $0.3 million of this commitment. This investment is included in Other Investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In 2021, we entered into commitments to fund $5 million to each of two different RWT Horizons investments. At March 31, 2022, we had funded $4 million of these commitments. These investments are included in Other Investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Loss Contingencies — Risk-Sharing

During 2015 and 2016, we sold conforming loans to the Agencies with an original unpaid principal balance of $3.19 billion, subject to our risk-sharing arrangements with the Agencies. At March 31, 2022, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these arrangements was $44 million and this amount was partially collateralized by assets we transferred to pledged accounts and is presented as pledged collateral in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We have no recourse to any third parties that would allow us to recover any amounts related to our obligations under the arrangements. At March 31, 2022, we had incurred less than $0.1 million of losses under these arrangements. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, other income related to these arrangements was $0.5 million and $1 million, respectively, and net market valuation changes related to these investments were less than $0.1 million of gains and $0.1 million of losses, respectively.

All of the loans in the reference pools subject to these risk-sharing arrangements were originated in 2014 and 2015, and at March 31, 2022, the loans had an unpaid principal balance of $504 million and a weighted average FICO score of 756 (at origination) and LTV ratio of 74% (at origination). At March 31, 2022, $14 million of the loans were 90 days or more delinquent, of which two of these loans with an unpaid principal balance of $0.2 million were in foreclosure. At March 31, 2022, the carrying value of our guarantee obligation was $7 million and included $5 million designated as a non-amortizing credit reserve, which we believe is sufficient to cover current expected losses under these obligations.

Our consolidated balance sheets include assets of special purpose entities ("SPEs") associated with these risk-sharing arrangements (i.e., the "pledged collateral" referred to above) that can only be used to settle obligations of these SPEs for which the creditors of these SPEs (the Agencies) do not have recourse to us. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, assets of such SPEs totaled $34 million, and liabilities of such SPEs totaled $7 million.

Loss Contingencies — Residential Repurchase Reserve

We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties and for conforming residential loans associated with MSRs that we have purchased from third parties. We do not originate residential loans and we believe the initial risk of loss due to loan repurchases (i.e., due to a breach of representations and warranties) would generally be a contingency to the companies from whom we acquired the loans. However, in some cases, for example, where loans were acquired from companies that have since become insolvent, repurchase claims may result in our being liable for a repurchase obligation. Additionally, for certain loans we sold during the second quarter of 2020 that were previously held for investment, we have a direct obligation to repurchase these loans in the event of any early payment defaults (or "EPDs") by the underlying mortgage borrowers within certain specified periods following the sales.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our repurchase reserve associated with our residential loans and MSRs was $10 million and $9 million, respectively, and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we received zero repurchase requests and repurchased zero loans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded repurchase provisions of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, that were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net, Investment fair value changes, net, and Other income on our consolidated statements of income.

Loss Contingencies — Litigation, Claims and Demands

There is no significant update regarding the litigation matters described in Note 16 within the financial statements included in Redwood’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Loss Contingencies - Litigation, Claims and Demands” At March 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves established in respect of the FHLB-Seattle and Schwab litigation matters described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2 million.

Issuance of Common Stock

We have an established program to sell common stock from time to time in at-the-market ("ATM") offerings. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued 5,232,869 common shares for net proceeds of $67 million under this program. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we increased the capacity of this program to $175 million, all of which remained outstanding for future offerings under this program as of March 31, 2022.

Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not issue any shares of common stock through our Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. At March 31, 2022, approximately 6 million shares remained outstanding for future offerings under this plan.

Earnings per Common Share

The following table provides the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Table 17.3 – Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In Thousands, except Share Data)	2022		2021
Basic Earnings per Common Share:
Net income attributable to Redwood	$	30,915	$	97,257
Less: Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities	(1,209)		(3,294)
Net income allocated to common shareholders	$	29,706	$	93,963
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	119,884,172		112,276,842
Basic Earnings per Common Share	$	0.25	$	0.84
Diluted Earnings per Common Share:
Net income attributable to Redwood	$	30,915	$	97,257
Less: Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities	(1,348)		(2,951)
Add back: Interest expense on convertible notes for the period, net of tax	4,582		7,007
Net income allocated to common shareholders	$	34,149	$	101,313
Weighted average common shares outstanding	119,884,172		112,276,842
Net effect of dilutive equity awards	290,831		195,568
Net effect of assumed convertible notes conversion to common shares	20,331,154		28,566,875
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	140,506,157		141,039,285
Diluted Earnings per Common Share	$	0.24	$	0.72

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, certain of our convertible notes were determined to be dilutive and were included in the calculation of diluted EPS under the "if-converted" method. Under this method, 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 the three months ended March 31, 2021, 8,235,721 of common shares related to the assumed conversion of our convertible notes were antidilutive and were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the number of outstanding equity awards that were antidilutive totaled 17,154 and 15,460, respectively.

Stock Repurchases

Our Board of Directors previously approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $100 million of our common stock, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. This authorization has no expiration date and does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not repurchase any shares. At March 31, 2022, $78 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities.

Equity Compensation Plans

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 5,708,420 and 5,958,390 shares of common stock, respectively, were available for grant under our Incentive Plan. The unamortized compensation cost of awards issued under the Incentive Plan, which are settled by delivery of shares of common stock and purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, totaled $44 million at March 31, 2022, as shown in the following table.

At March 31, 2022, the weighted average amortization period remaining for all of our equity awards was less than two years.

Restricted Stock Awards ("RSAs")

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 1,551 and 28,141 shares of RSAs outstanding, respectively. Restrictions on these shares lapse during 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no RSAs granted, restrictions on 26,249 RSAs lapsed and those shares were distributed, and 341 RSAs were forfeited.

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 498,223 and 431,072 RSUs outstanding, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were 206,179 RSUs granted, 117,725 RSUs distributed, and 21,303 RSUs forfeited. Unvested RSUs at March 31, 2022 vest through 2026.

Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”)

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 4,526,420 and 4,022,088 DSUs outstanding, respectively, of which 1,965,990 and 1,469,903, respectively, had vested. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were 645,870 DSUs granted, 141,538 DSUs distributed, and zero DSUs forfeited. Unvested DSUs at March 31, 2022 vest through 2026.

Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”)

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the target number of PSUs that were unvested was 1,267,849 and 1,473,883, respectively. Vesting for PSUs generally occurs three years from their respective grant dates based on various total shareholder return performance calculations, as discussed in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For 206,034 target PSU awards that were granted in December 2018, the performance vesting period ended on January 1, 2022. These 2018 PSU awards failed to reach a threshold level under their performance-based vesting criteria and resulted in the vesting of no shares of our common stock underlying these PSUs.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")

The ESPP allows a maximum of 850,000 shares of common stock to be purchased in aggregate for all employees. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 586,762 and 569,728 shares had been purchased, respectively, and there remained a negligible amount of uninvested employee contributions in the ESPP at March 31, 2022.

Taxes

We believe that we have met all requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income and meet certain other requirements that relate to, among others, the assets it holds, the income it generates, and the composition of its stockholders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a benefit from income taxes of $2 million and a provision for income taxes of $12 million, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal and state tax rates to our effective tax rate at March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Segment Information

Segment Information

Redwood operates in three segments: Residential Mortgage Banking, Business Purpose Mortgage Banking and Investment Portfolio. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. For a full description of our segments, see Part I, Item 1—Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe consolidated financial statements presented herein are at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") — as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) — have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements according to these SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures included in these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments have been made to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at March 31, 2022 and results of operations for all periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

In accordance with GAAP, we determine whether we must consolidate transferred financial assets and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for financial reporting purposes. We currently consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia securitization entities issued prior to 2012 ("Legacy Sequoia"), certain entities formed during and after 2012 in connection with the securitization of Redwood Select prime loans and Redwood Choice expanded-prime loans ("Sequoia"), entities formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest single-family rental and bridge loans ("CAFL") and an entity formed in connection with the securitization of home equity investment contracts ("HEIs"). We also consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and Freddie Mac Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction ("SLST") securitizations in which we have invested. Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood Trust, Inc. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained, although for certain entities we are exposed to financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor or co-sponsor, servicing administrator, collateral administrator or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.

For financial reporting purposes, the underlying loans owned at the consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST entities are shown under Residential loans held-for-investment, at fair value, the underlying loans at the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entity are shown under Multifamily loans held-for-investment, at fair value, the underlying single-family rental and bridge loans at the consolidated CAFL entities are shown under Business purpose loans held-for-investment, at fair value, and the underlying HEIs at the consolidated HEI securitization entity are shown under Other investments, at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. The asset-backed securities (“ABS”) issued to third parties by these entities are shown under ABS issued. In our consolidated statements of income, we record interest income on the loans owned at these entities and interest expense on the ABS issued by these entities as well as fair value changes, other income and expenses associated with these entities' activities. See Note 14 for further discussion on ABS issued.

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

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs")

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)." This new guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by reducing the number of accounting models to separately present certain conversion features in equity. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2022, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On March 28, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method," which will expand companies' abilities to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of portfolios of financial assets (or beneficial interests) in a fair value hedge. The ASU expands the use of the portfolio layer method (previously referred to as the last-of-layer method) to allow multiple hedges of a single closed portfolio of assets using spot starting, forward starting, and amortizing-notional swaps. The ASU also permits both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets to be included in the closed portfolio of assets hedged in a portfolio layer hedge. The ASU further requires that basis adjustments not be allocated to individual assets for active portfolio layer method hedges, but rather be maintained on the closed portfolio of assets as a whole. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date and do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On March 31, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures." ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross writeoffs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date and do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This new guidance clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. This new guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our consolidated financial statements. Through March 31, 2022, we have not elected to apply the optional expedients and exceptions to any of our existing contracts, hedging relationships, or other transactions.

We have an established cross-functional group that has evaluated our exposure to LIBOR, reviewed relevant contracts and has monitored regulatory updates to assess the potential impact to our business, processes and technology from the ultimate full cessation of LIBOR in 2023, and has established a LIBOR transition plan to facilitate an orderly transition to alternative reference rates. We continue to remain on track with our LIBOR transition plan, which requires different solutions depending on the underlying asset or liability with LIBOR exposure. At March 31, 2022, our primary LIBOR exposure included the following: $966 million of repo or warehouse debt, $381 million of interest rate swaps, $858 million of bridge loans, and $140 million of trust preferred securities and subordinated notes debt. Since December 31, 2021, certain of our contracts, such as interest rate swaps, have experienced an orderly market transition and we have transitioned a substantial portion of our derivative positions off of LIBOR-benchmarks. Other contracts, such as warehouse debt agreements, require bilateral amendments, many of which we have amended or are currently in the process of amending. We anticipate most of these facilities will be amended in 2022, with sufficient time remaining to resolve the remainder. In early 2022, we began benchmarking all newly originated bridge loans to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), and our existing portfolio of bridge loans are short-dated and we expect the vast majority to mature before the LIBOR cessation date in 2023. Additionally, as the result of recent legislation that was passed in the state of New York, our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes are expected to convert to SOFR upon the cessation of LIBOR.

Balance Sheet Netting

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

(1)Amounts presented in these columns are limited in total to the net amount of assets or liabilities presented in the prior column by instrument. In certain cases, there is excess cash collateral or financial assets we have pledged to a counterparty (which may, in certain circumstances, be a clearinghouse) that exceed the financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Additionally, in certain cases, counterparties may have pledged excess cash collateral to us that exceeds our corresponding financial assets. In each case, any of these excess amounts are excluded from the table although they are separately reported in our consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, respectively.

(2)Interest rate agreements and TBAs are components of derivatives instruments on our consolidated balance sheets. Loan warehouse debt, which is secured by certain residential and business purpose loans, and security repurchase agreements are components of Short-term debt and Long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.

(1)Value of our investments in VIEs, as presented in this table, represent the fair value of our economic interests in the VIEs only for consolidated VIEs we account for under the CFE election. CAFL includes SFR loan securitizations we account for under the CFE election and a bridge loan securitization for which we did not make the CFE election. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our interests in the CAFL SFR securitizations were $306 million and $302 million, respectively, and our net carrying value in the CAFL Bridge securitization was $37 million and $38 million, respectively. Freddie Mac SLST includes securitizations we account for under the CFE election and also includes ABS issued in relation to a resecuritization of the securities we own in the consolidated Freddie Mac SLST VIEs, that we account for at amortized historical cost. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our interests in the Freddie Mac SLST securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $437 million and $445 million, respectively, and the carrying value of the ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost was $129 million and $143 million, respectively.

The following table presents income (loss) from these VIEs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Footnotes to Table 5.7

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

(2)The fair value of the loans and HEIs held by consolidated entities was based on the fair value of the ABS issued by these entities and the securities and other investments we own in those entities, which we determined were more readily observable in accordance with accounting guidance for collateralized financing entities. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL SFR, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities was $246 million, $306 million, $437 million, $32 million, and $14 million, respectively.

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

(4)As a market convention, certain securities are priced to a no-loss yield and therefore do not include default and loss severity assumptions.
