_____________________

  1. Economic return on book value is based on the period change in GAAP book value per common share plus dividends declared per common share in the period.
  2. Earnings available for distribution is a non-GAAP measure. See Non-GAAP Disclosures section that follows for additional information on this measure.
  3. Recourse leverage ratio is defined as recourse debt at Redwood divided by tangible stockholders' equity. Recourse debt excludes $10.5 billion of consolidated securitization debt (ABS issued and servicer advance financing) and other debt that is non-recourse to Redwood, and tangible stockholders' equity excludes $52 million of goodwill and intangible assets.
  4. We operate our business in three segments: Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking, Residential Investor Mortgage Banking, and Investment Portfolio. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2023, the Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment was named Residential Mortgage Banking and the Residential Investor Mortgage Banking segment was named Business Purpose Mortgage Banking. While the segment names changed, no changes were made to the underlying composition of the segments. All applicable references in this document have been conformed to reflect the new segment names.
  5. Lock volume represents loans identified for purchase from loan sellers. Lock volume does not account for potential fallout from pipeline that typically occurs through the lending process.
  6. RPL and jumbo securities delinquency rate calculations were updated in Q4'23 to be weighted by notional balances of loans collateralizing each of our securities investments (prior periods presented were conformed to updated calculation). Bridge loan and CAFL securities delinquency rates are calculated as BPL term loans in our consolidated CAFL securitizations, our portion of loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held-for-sale with a delinquent payment greater than 90 days, divided by the total notional balance of loans in consolidated CAFL securitizations, our portion of loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held for sale.
  7. Represents intrinsic value of total HEI initially collateralizing securitization, of which Redwood contributed approximately $75 million. Redwood retained approximately 40% of the total residual interests in the securitization.
  8. Secured recourse leverage ratio for our Investment Portfolio is defined as secured recourse debt financing our investment portfolio assets divided by capital allocated to our investment portfolio.
  9. Includes full retirement of August 2023 convertible maturity ($113 million) and other repurchases of outstanding convertible debt in the open market (at a discount to par) ($81 million).
  10. Represents Q1'24 activity through February 16, 2024 unless otherwise noted.

Analysis of Income Statement - Changes from Third Quarter 2023 to Fourth Quarter 2023

  • Net interest income remained stable from the third quarter as an increase in interest income on bridge loans and a reduction in interest expense on corporate debt were offset by a decline in interest income from non-strategic third-party assets sold during the third quarter.
  • Income from Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking activities decreased from the third quarter, as loan purchase commitments declined due to fourth quarter seasonality, partially offset by margins exceeding our historical target range of 75 to 100 basis points.
  • Income from Residential Investor Mortgage Banking activities decreased from the third quarter, as spreads on term loans normalized, compared to the third quarter where spread tightening benefited loan inventory. Overall volume declined as a decrease in bridge fundings was partially offset by growth in term production.
  • Net positive fair value changes on our Investment Portfolio in the fourth quarter primarily reflected the impact of declining rates on valuations on our re-performing loan (“RPL”) securities, and spread tightening improved valuations on CAFL securities. The positive fair value changes were partially offset by fair value decreases on our bridge loan portfolio related to delinquent loans along with residential servicing assets which declined in step with falling mortgage rates.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2023, we changed the presentation of our Income Statement to break out income from HEI investments on a separate line item – "HEI income, net". Amounts in this new line item were previously presented within the Investment fair value changes, net line item. All prior periods presented were conformed to this new presentation. HEI income, net is primarily comprised of recurring accretion of the underlying option value of the investments, along with periodic fluctuations in value influenced by housing and other market conditions. HEI income, net increased in the fourth quarter, as actual and projected trends in home prices continued to improve.
  • Realized gains in the fourth quarter reflect gains on extinguishment of corporate convertible debt that we repurchased during the quarter.
  • General and administrative expenses increased from the third quarter primarily as variable and long-term incentive compensation increased commensurate with the improvement in quarterly GAAP earnings.
  • Portfolio management and loan acquisition costs increased slightly from the third quarter, primarily due to higher loan special servicing costs.
  • Other expenses were primarily comprised of acquisition-related intangible amortization expenses.
  • Our provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter reflected net income earned at our taxable REIT subsidiary, driven by mortgage banking income and certain servicing investments.

  1. Certain totals may not foot due to rounding.
  2. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we changed our calculation of EAD and conformed all prior period amounts presented in the table above and throughout this earnings release. This change consisted of removing the previously presented line item titled "Change in economic basis of investments". Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2023, we changed our consolidated income statements to include a new line item titled "HEI income, net". This line item includes all amounts related to our HEI investments that were previously presented within the "Investment fair value changes, net" line item. As such, our adjustment for "Investment fair value changes, net" in our current calculation of EAD does not include fair value changes related to our HEI investments.
  3. EAD and EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders and GAAP ROE, respectively. EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity. We believe EAD and EAD ROE provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. Management also believes that EAD and EAD ROE are metrics that can supplement its analysis of the Company’s ability to pay dividends, by providing an indication of the current income generating capacity of the Company's business operations as of the quarter being presented. EAD and EAD ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes.
  4. Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts within that same line item on our consolidated statements of income, which primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments (excluding HEI) and associated hedges. As noted above, realized and unrealized gains and losses on our HEI investments are reflected in a new line item on our consolidated income statements titled "HEI income, net".
  5. Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts within that line item on our consolidated statements of income.
  6. Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend, CoreVest and 5Arches acquisitions.
  7. Tax effect of adjustments represents the hypothetical income taxes associated with all adjustments used to calculate EAD.
  8. EAD ROE is calculated by dividing EAD by average common equity for each respective period.
