REDWOOD TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
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 consumer and residential investor housing credit 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 Consumer Mortgage Banking, Residential Investor 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 Trust, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Maryland on April 11, 1994, and commenced operations on August 19, 1994. References herein to “Redwood,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include Redwood Trust, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. For a full description of our business, see Part I, Item 1—Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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, 2023. 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, 2024 and results of operations for all periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
In the first quarter of 2024, we updated the names of our Residential loans to Residential consumer loans and our Business purpose loans to Residential investor loans. There were no changes to the classifications of account balances as a result of this update in names. All prior period references in this document were conformed to this presentation.

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 residential investor term and bridge loans ("CAFL") and entities formed in connection with the securitization of home equity investment contracts ("HEI"). We also consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and Freddie Mac Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction ("SLST") securitizations (and re-securitization of such SLST securities) 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 consumer loans held-for-investment, at fair value, the underlying loans at the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entity are shown under Consolidated Agency multifamily loans, at fair value, the underlying residential investor term and bridge loans at the consolidated CAFL entities are shown under Residential investor loans held-for-investment, at fair value, and the underlying HEI at the consolidated HEI securitization entities are shown under Home equity 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 15 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, valuation allowances, 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
On July 1, 2022, we acquired Riverbend Funding LLC ("Riverbend"), a private mortgage lender to residential transitional and commercial real estate investors. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information regarding this acquisition, including purchase price allocations. Additionally, in 2019 we acquired 5 Arches and CoreVest, originators of residential investor loans. In connection with these acquisitions, we identified and recorded finite-lived intangible assets totaling $95 million. The table below presents the amortization period and carrying value of our intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization at March 31, 2024.

All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded intangible asset amortization expense of $3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded intangible asset amortization expense of $3 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, 2024.
We recorded total goodwill of $23 million as a result of the total consideration exceeding the fair value of the net assets acquired from Riverbend. For reporting purposes, we included the intangible assets and goodwill from the Riverbend acquisition within our Residential Investor Mortgage Banking segment. There were no changes to the balance of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The potential liability resulting from the contingent consideration arrangement with Riverbend was recorded at its acquisition-date fair value of zero as part of the total consideration for the acquisition of Riverbend. At March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of this contingent liability was zero on our consolidated balance sheets. Our contingent consideration liability is recorded at fair value and periodic changes in the estimated fair value are recorded through Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not record any contingent consideration income or expense related to our acquisition of Riverbend. See Note 17 for additional information on our contingent consideration liability.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Newly Adopted Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs")
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security should not be considered in measuring its fair value and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2024, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848." This new guidance defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide temporary relief during the transition period. Through March 31, 2024, we had not elected to apply the optional expedients and exceptions to any of our existing contracts, hedging relationships, or other transactions. At March 31, 2024, we had no remaining LIBOR-indexed financial assets or liabilities.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, "Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement." ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture, upon formation, to initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. This generally aligns the treatment to be consistent with the guidance for business combinations. Joint venture entities that are private companies may elect to include customer-related intangible assets and non-competition agreements within goodwill and not as separate intangible assets. This new guidance is effective for all joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Joint ventures formed prior to the adoption date may elect to apply the new guidance retrospectively back to their original formation date. We are evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-05 and we plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date. We do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. "ASU 2023-07 expands the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures by requiring disclosures of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss. Other disclosure requirements involve the amount and composition of other segment items and how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance and to decide how to allocate resources. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07 and we plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation disclosures. Additionally, income taxes paid are required to be disaggregated by jurisdiction, along with other amendments to enhance the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and upon adoption, the guidance can be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07 and we plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards." ASU 2024-01 provides clarification for determining whether a profits interest award should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement or other compensation. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and upon adoption, the guidance can be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-01 and we plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date.
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 balance sheets. However, we do not elect to 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.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
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, 2024, 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, 2024, we held an 80% ownership interest in, and were responsible for the management of, each entity. See Note 11 for a further description of these entities and the investments they hold and Note 13 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 14 for additional information on the servicer advance financing.
During the fourth quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2021, we co-sponsored two HEI securitization transactions, and we consolidate the respective HEI securitization entities that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we owned a portion of the subordinate certificates issued by these entities and had certain decision-making rights for the entities. See Note 10 for a further description of these entities and the investments it holds and Note 13 for additional information on non-controlling interests in these entities. We consolidate these HEI securitization entities, but the securitization entities are independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
During the fourth quarter of 2023, we re-securitized subordinate securities we owned in our consolidated Freddie Mac SLST securitization trusts through the transfer of these financial assets to a re-securitization trust that we sponsored. We retain a subordinate investment in the re-securitization trust and maintain certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the entity, as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and the right to receive benefits of, and the obligation to absorb losses from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
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 two CAFL bridge loan securitizations and the Freddie Mac SLST re-securitization.
The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs.

While most of our VIEs are accounted for under the CFE election (whereby the net equity in the VIE generally represents the fair value of our retained interests and associated accrued interest receivable), certain entities, including two CAFL bridge loan securitizations (included within the CAFL column), our SLST re-securitization (included within the Freddie Mac SLST column), and our Servicing Investment VIEs are not accounted for under the CFE election and their associated ABS issued are accounted for at amortized historical cost. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our interests in the CAFL term loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $333 million and $323 million, respectively, and the fair value of our interest in the CAFL bridge loan securitizations accounted for under the CFE election was $21 million and $22 million, respectively, with the difference from the tables above generally representing ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost and accrued interest on our economic interests. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our interests in the Freddie Mac SLST securitizations accounted for under the CFE election were $271 million and $274 million, respectively, with the difference from the tables above representing ABS issued and carried at amortized historical cost.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities, as we did not meet either the GAAP sale criteria at the time we transferred financial assets to these entities or we determined we were the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Our involvement in consolidated Sequoia, CAFL and HEI 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 entities in accordance with GAAP.
We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and SLST securitization (and re-securitzation) 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 consumer loans to 46 Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of March 31, 2024, and accounted for these transfers as sales for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP. We also determined we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we lacked the power to direct the activities that will have the most significant economic impact on the entities. For certain of these transfers to securitization entities, for the transferred loans where we held the servicing rights prior to the transfer and continued to hold the servicing rights following the transfer, we recorded mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") on our consolidated balance sheets, and classified those MSRs as Level 3 assets. We also retained senior and subordinate securities in these securitizations that we classified as Level 3 assets. Our continuing involvement in these securitizations is limited to customary servicing obligations associated with retaining servicing rights (which we retain a third-party sub-servicers to perform) and the receipt of interest income associated with the securities we retained.
The following table summarizes the cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 between us and the unconsolidated VIEs sponsored by us and accounted for as sales since 2012.

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, grouped by asset type.

Excess MSR | | 4,848 | | | 5,224 | |
Total Investments in Third-Party Sponsored VIEs | | $ | 93,799 | | | $ | 22,389 | |
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 unpaid principal balance. The weighted average input values for all other assets and liabilities are based on relative fair value.
(2)Values represent pricing inputs used in securitization pricing model. Credit spreads represent spreads to applicable swap rates unless specified otherwise.
(3)The fair value of the loans and HEI held by consolidated entities is based on the fair value of the ABS issued by these entities and the securities and other investments we own in those entities, which we determined were more readily observable in accordance with accounting guidance for collateralized financing entities. At March 31, 2024, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL Term, CAFL Bridge (under CFE), Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities was $218 million, $333 million, $21 million, $271 million, $34 million, and $37 million, respectively. CAFL Bridge only includes the one securitization entity for which we made the CFE election.
(4)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).
(5)Fair value presented in this line item for ABS issued at consolidated HEI entities does not include non-controlling interests in our HEI entities, which we account for separately as liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and carry at fair value. However, given the HEI non-controlling interests are priced using the same model and inputs, the unobservable inputs and input values provided in this section include those for the HEI non-controlling interests.
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 in isolation — such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, interest rates, or other valuation assumptions — 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, 2023 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 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 by these companies or secondary sales of these, or similar, equity or debt instruments, and will also evaluate impacts to valuation from changing market conditions and underlying business performance. As of March 31, 2024, the carrying value of these investments was $3 million.

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. Nearly all of our residential securities are supported by collateral that was designated as prime at the time of issuance.

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

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.

Note 9. Real Estate Securities - (continued)
At March 31, 2024, after giving effect to purchases, sales, and extinguishment due to credit losses, our consolidated balance sheets included 69 AFS securities, of which 13 were in an unrealized loss position and 12 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer. At December 31, 2023, our consolidated balance sheets included 66 AFS securities, of which 21 were in an unrealized loss position and 19 were 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 $5 million at March 31, 2024. 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, 2024, 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, 2024, our current expected credit loss ("CECL") allowance related to our AFS securities was $2 million. AFS securities for which an allowance is recognized have experienced, or are expected to experience, 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, 2024.

Note 10. Home Equity Investments (HEI)
From time to time, we may purchase home equity investment contracts from third party originators under flow purchase agreements. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2023, we began to originate HEI directly. Each HEI provides the owner of such HEI the right to purchase a percentage ownership interest in an associated residential property, and the homeowner's obligations under the HEI are secured by a lien (primarily second liens) on the property created by recording a security instrument (e.g., deed of trust) with respect to the property. Our investments in HEI expose us to both home price appreciation and depreciation of the associated property.
As discussed in Note 3, we co-sponsored two HEI securitization transactions. We consolidate these HEI securitization entities in accordance with GAAP and have elected to account for them under the CFE election. As such, market valuation changes for the securitized HEI are based on the estimated fair value of the associated ABS issued by the entity, including the interest we own, and are reported in HEI income, net on our Consolidated statements of income.
The following table presents our HEI at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 11. Other Investments - (continued)
At March 31, 2024, our servicer advance investments had a carrying value of $216 million and were associated with specified pools of residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $9.92 billion. The outstanding servicer advance receivables associated with these investments were $176 million at March 31, 2024, which were financed with short-term non-recourse securitization debt. See Note 14 for additional detail on this debt. The servicer advance receivables were comprised of the following types of advances at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

We account for our servicer advance investments at fair value and during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $9 million in repayments, recorded $5 million of interest income, through Other interest income, and recorded a net market valuation loss of $1 million through Investment fair value changes, net in our consolidated statements of income.
Strategic Investments
Strategic investments represent investments we made in companies either through our RWT Horizons venture investment platform or separately at a corporate level. At March 31, 2024, we had made a total of 36 investments in companies through RWT Horizons with a total carrying value of $22 million, as well as seven corporate-level investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a net market valuation gain of $1 million on our strategic investments through Investment fair value changes, net in our consolidated statements of income, largely driven by one of the portfolio companies completing a Series A capital raising transaction during the first quarter of 2024.
In the second quarter of 2023, we established a joint venture with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. ("Oaktree"), a global investment manager, to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold $52 million of residential investor bridge loans, net of $15 million of construction draws, to the joint venture and at March 31, 2024, the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture was $5 million. We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting as we have a 20% non-controlling interest, but are deemed to be able to exert significant influence over the affairs of the joint venture. We adjust the carrying value of our equity method investment for our share of earnings or losses, dividends or return of capital on a quarterly basis.
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, 2024, we recognized $3 million of interest income through Other interest income and we recorded net market valuation losses of $1 million 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, 2024, we retained MSRs with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $9 million from sales of residential loans to third parties. We hold our MSR investments at our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

For interest rate agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $67 million and $68 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We are amortizing this loss into interest expense over the remaining term of our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes. For both of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we reclassified $1 million of realized net losses from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Interest expense.

In 2018, Redwood and a third-party co-investor, through two partnership entities consolidated by Redwood, purchased servicer advances and excess MSRs related to a portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced by the co-investor (see Note 4 and Note 11 for additional information on the partnership entities and associated investments). We account for the co-investor’s interests in the entities as liabilities, and at March 31, 2024, the carrying value of their interests was $22 million, representing their current economic interest in the entities. Earnings from the partnership entities are allocated to the co-investors on a proportional basis and during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we allocated $1 million of income to the co-investors, recorded in Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income.
In 2021 and in 2023, Redwood and a third-party investor co-sponsored the transfer and securitization of HEI through two HEI securitization entities. Other third-party investors contributed HEI into these securitizations through Redwood and retained subordinate beneficial interests issued by the securitization entities alongside Redwood. See Note 10 for a further discussion of the HEI securitization. We account for the co-investors' interests in the HEI securitization entities as liabilities, and at March 31, 2024, the carrying value of their interests was $65 million, representing the fair value of their economic interests in the beneficial interests issued by the HEI entities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the investors' share of earnings, net from their retained interests was $5 million, recorded through HEI income, net on our consolidated statements of income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the average balance of our short-term debt facilities was $951 million. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accrued interest payable on our short-term debt facilities was $4 million and $6 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.
In 2019, a subsidiary of Redwood entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent) recourse debt financing of certain Sequoia securities as well as securities retained from our consolidated Sequoia securitizations ("Subordinate securities financing" in Table 14.1 above). The financing is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Redwood, and had an interest rate of approximately 4.21% through September 2022, 5.71% from October 2022 through September 2023, and 7.21% from October 2023 through final maturity in September 2024.
In connection with our acquisition of Riverbend, we assumed promissory notes that are payable on demand with a 90-day notice from the lender or which may be repaid by us with a 90-day notice. These unsecured, non-marginable, recourse notes were issued in three separate series with fixed interest rates between 6% and 8%.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of a securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest residential investor bridge loans (presented within CAFL in Table 15.1 above), which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $231 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained the remaining beneficial ownership interests 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 recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. At March 31, 2024, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $231 million, and the net carrying value was $232 million. The weighted average stated coupon of the ABS issued was 7.89% at issuance. The ABS issued by the CAFL bridge entity are subject to an optional redemption in December 2025, and beginning in July 2026, the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 1.5% through final maturity in December 2030. The ABS issued by this securitization were collateralized by $230 million of residential investor bridge loans, $1 million of restricted cash and $25 million of other assets at March 31, 2024. The securitization is structured with $250 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 24 months of the transaction (through December 2025), unless an amortization event occurs prior to the expiration of the 24-month reinvestment period. Amortization trigger events include, among other events, delinquency rates or default rates exceeding specified thresholds for three consecutive periods, or the effective advance rate exceeding a specified threshold.
During the second quarter of 2022, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of a securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest residential investor bridge loans (presented within CAFL in Table 15.1 above), which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $215 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, 2024, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $215 million, and the unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs were $1 million in total, for a net carrying value of $214 million. The weighted average stated coupon of the ABS issued was 4.32% at issuance. The ABS issued by the CAFL bridge entity are subject to an optional redemption in May 2024, and beginning in June 2025, the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 2% through final maturity in May 2029. The ABS issued by this securitization were collateralized by $228 million of residential investor bridge loans, $18 million of restricted cash and $7 million other assets at March 31, 2024. The securitization is structured with $250 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 24 months of the transaction (through May 2024), unless an amortization event occurs prior to the expiration of the 24-month reinvestment period. Amortization trigger events include, among other events, delinquency rates or default rates exceeding specified thresholds for three consecutive periods, or the effective advance rate exceeding a specified threshold.
During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of a securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest residential investor bridge loans (presented within CAFL in table 15.1 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, 2024, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $263 million, and the unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs were zero, for a net carrying value of $263 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased of $7 million of this CAFL bridge ABS issuance for a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million which was recorded in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income. 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 $304 million of residential investor bridge loans and $8 million of restricted cash and other assets at March 31, 2024. 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 fourth quarter of 2023, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of a HEI securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of HEI, which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $139 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 HEI income, net on our

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. During the first quarter of 2023, we called the Freddie Mac SLST re-securitization and paid off the associated outstanding ABS.

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, 2024, 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.

Recourse Subordinate Securities Financing Facilities
In 2020, a subsidiary of Redwood entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable recourse debt financing of certain securities retained from our consolidated CAFL securitizations. The financing is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Redwood, with an interest rate of approximately 4.21% through February 2023, increasing to 5.71% from March 2023 through February 2024, and to 7.21% from March 2024 through February 2025. The financing facility may be terminated at our option, beginning in February 2023, and has a final maturity in February 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we reclassified this facility from long-term to short-term debt (Facility B in Table 16.1 above at December 31, 2023) when the maturity of this facility became less than a year.
In 2021, a subsidiary of Redwood entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable recourse debt financing of certain securities retained from our consolidated CAFL securitizations (Facility C in Table 16.1 above). The financing is guaranteed by Redwood, with an interest rate of approximately 4.75% through June 2024, increasing to 6.25% from July 2024 through June 2025, and to 7.75% from July 2025 to June 2026. The financing facility may be terminated at our option, beginning in June 2023, and has a final maturity in June 2026.

Other Recourse Financing
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 we entered into a corporate secured revolving financing facility with CPP Investments to provide recourse debt financing secured by previously unencumbered assets, such as retained Residential Consumer and Residential Investor subordinate securities and other investments, as well as equity in certain operating subsidiaries (Facility K in Table 16.1 above). At March 31, 2024, this facility had a borrowing limit of $200 million and a two-year term, with a one-year extension option. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we exercised our right under the terms of the facility with CPP Investments to increase the borrowing limit of this facility to $250 million.
Senior Notes
In January 2024, Redwood issued $60 million of 9.125% Senior Notes due in 2029. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Redwood and bear interest at a rate equal to 9.125% per year, payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2024. The Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2029. We may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2026 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Lease Commitments
At March 31, 2024, we were obligated under nine non-cancelable operating leases with expiration dates through 2031 for $15 million of cumulative lease payments. For both the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 our operating lease expense was $1 million.
The following table presents our future lease commitments at March 31, 2024.

Operating Lease Liabilities | | $ | 13,659 | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not enter into any new office leases with a lease term of greater than one year. At March 31, 2024, our operating lease liabilities were $14 million, which were a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities, and our operating lease right-of-use assets were $12 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 lease commencement date. At March 31, 2024, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our leases was 4 years and 5.3%, respectively.
Commitment to Fund Residential Investor Bridge Loans
As of March 31, 2024, we had commitments to fund up to $513 million of additional advances on existing residential investor bridge loans. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the borrower and other terms regarding advances that must be met before we fund the commitment. At March 31, 2024, we carried a $1 million contingent liability related to these commitments to fund construction advances. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a net market valuation loss of $1 million, related to this liability through Mortgage banking activities and Investment of fair value changes, 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 11 for additional detail on these investments. In connection with these investments, 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.

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 several California urban communities, including the San Francisco Bay Area. At March 31, 2024, we had funded $16 million of this commitment. This investment is included in Other investments on our consolidated balance sheets.
In 2021, we entered into a commitment to fund a $5 million RWT Horizons strategic investment. At March 31, 2024, we had funded $2 million of this commitment. This investment is included in Other investments on our consolidated balance sheets.
Commitment to Fund Joint Ventures
In the first quarter of 2024, we established a joint venture with Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPP Investments"), a global investment manager, to invest in residential investor bridge and term loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. In accordance with the terms of the joint venture, we will offer to sell certain residential investor bridge and term loans we originate into joint venture entities that meet specified criteria at contractually pre-established prices. Redwood and its subsidiaries will administer the assets on behalf of this joint venture. Redwood will earn ongoing fees to oversee the administration of the joint venture and is entitled to earn additional performance fees upon realization of specified return hurdles. CPP Investments and Redwood have committed to allocate up to $500 million of equity to the joint venture, with approximately $400 million of equity capital expected to be contributed to joint venture entities by CPP Investments and approximately $100 million of equity capital expected to be allocated by Redwood across both Redwood's direct equity capital contribution to joint venture entities and joint venture co-investments to be held in Redwood's investment portfolio. At March 31, 2024, no investments had been funded through this joint venture.
In the second quarter of 2023, we established a joint venture with Oaktree to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. In accordance with the terms of the joint venture, we will offer to sell certain residential investor bridge loans we originate into the joint venture that meet specified criteria at contractually pre-established prices. Redwood and its subsidiaries will administer the assets on behalf of this joint venture. Redwood will earn ongoing fees to oversee the administration of the joint venture and is entitled to earn additional performance fees upon realization of specified return hurdles. Additionally, we have a commitment to contribute up to approximately $19 million to the joint venture to fund the joint venture's purchase of residential investor bridge loans, under the updated terms of the joint venture. At March 31, 2024, we had contributed $4 million of capital to the joint venture.
Riverbend Contingent Consideration
As part of the consideration for our acquisition of Riverbend, we may make earnout payments payable in cash, based on generating specified revenues over a threshold amount during the two-year period ending July 1, 2024, up to a maximum potential amount payable of $25 million. These contingent earnout payments are classified as a contingent consideration liability on our consolidated balance sheets and carried at fair value. At March 31, 2024, our estimated fair value of this contingent liability was zero.
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, 2024, 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, 2024, we had incurred less than $100 thousand of cumulative losses under these arrangements. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other income related to these arrangements was $0.2 million.
All of the loans in the reference pools subject to these risk-sharing arrangements were originated in 2014 and 2015, and at March 31, 2024, the loans had an unpaid principal balance of $388 million, a weighted average FICO score of 761 (at origination), and LTV ratio of 74% (at origination). At March 31, 2024, $8 million of the loans were 90 or more days delinquent, of which five loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $1 million were in foreclosure. At March 31, 2024, the carrying value of our guarantee obligation was $6 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies - (continued)
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, assets of such SPEs totaled $28 million, and liabilities totaled $6 million.
Loss Contingencies — Repurchase Reserves
We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential consumer and residential investor loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties and for conforming residential consumer loans associated with MSRs that we have purchased from third parties. We do not originate residential consumer loans and we believe the initial risk of loss due to loan repurchases (i.e., due to a breach of representations and warranties) would generally be a contingency to the companies from whom we acquired the loans. However, in some cases, for example, where loans were acquired from companies that have since become insolvent, repurchase claims may result in our being liable for a repurchase obligation.
At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our repurchase reserve associated with our residential consumer loans and MSRs was $5 million, and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we received one repurchase request. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 we repurchased one and five loan(s), respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded reversals of repurchase provision expenses of $0.2 million and zero, respectively, in Mortgage banking activities, net, on our consolidated statements of income.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our repurchase reserve associated with residential investor loans sold to third-parties was $0.01 million and zero, respectively, and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we received nine and four repurchase requests, respectively, for residential investor loans sold to third parties, and repurchased zero and eleven residential investor loans, respectively, that had been sold to third parties. One repurchase provision was recorded during the first three months of 2024 and, at March 31, 2024, two open repurchase requests were outstanding for residential investor loans sold to third parties.

Issuance of Preferred Stock
In January 2023, Redwood issued 2.8 million shares of 10.00% Series A Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") for gross proceeds of $70 million and net proceeds of approximately $67 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated expenses. The Series A Preferred Stock pays quarterly cumulative cash dividends through January 15, 2028 at a fixed annual rate of 10%, based on the stated liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, in arrears, when authorized by Redwood's Board of Directors and declared by the company. Starting April 15, 2028, the annual dividend rate will reset to the five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus a spread of 6.278%. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to Redwood's common stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the company declared preferred stock dividends of $0.625 per share. At March 31, 2024, preferred dividends payable totaling $1 million for the first quarter 2024 dividend were included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities and were payable on April 15, 2024 to preferred stockholders of record on April 1, 2024.
Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not issue any shares of common stock through our Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. At March 31, 2024, approximately six million shares remained outstanding for future offerings under this plan.

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.

Note 18. Equity - (continued)
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, none of our convertible notes were determined to be dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS under the "if-converted" method. Under this method, for convertible and exchangeable notes due in 2024 and 2025, the periodic interest expense (net of applicable taxes) for dilutive notes is added back to the numerator and the weighted average number of shares that the notes are entitled to (if converted, regardless of whether they are in or out of the money) are included in the denominator. For convertible notes due in 2027, if the potential conversion of the debt is dilutive, then the number of shares needed to settle the conversion premium are added to the shares outstanding used to calculate dilutive EPS.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 35,673,554 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, 2023, 46,316,074 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, 2024 and 2023, the number of outstanding equity awards that were antidilutive totaled 22,161 and 28,474 common shares, respectively.
Common Stock Warrants
In conjunction with establishing the joint venture with CPP Investments in March 2024, we issued warrants exercisable for 1,974,905 shares of our common stock (the “First Tranche Warrants”); and (ii) warrants exercisable for 4,608,112 shares of our common stock (the “Second Tranche Warrants” and together with the First Tranche Warrants, the “Warrants”). The First Tranche Warrants are exercisable from March 18, 2025 to March 18, 2029. The Second Tranche Warrants will vest upon achievement of specified deployment thresholds related to our joint venture with CPP Investments and, if vested, will be exercisable from the date the Second Tranche Warrants vest to March 18, 2029. The initial strike price of the Warrants is $7.76. The Warrants also contain a mandatory exercise provision, exercisable at Redwood’s option upon satisfaction of specified conditions, including the trading price of Redwood’s common stock exceeding a specified premium to the exercise price. Exercises of any Warrants will be settled on a net basis.
The Warrants met the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and are recorded as a component of Additional paid-in-capital in Equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Warrants were valued at $0.8 million on the issuance date and are not subject to subsequent remeasurement.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, these Warrants were not dilutive to our calculation of dilutive earnings per common share. The Warrants would have a dilutive effect on earnings per common share to the extent that the Warrants are vested and exercisable, and the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants.
Stock Repurchases
In July 2022, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common stock, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. In May 2023, our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization for the repurchase of up to $70 million of our preferred stock. These authorizations have no expiration dates and does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of our common or preferred stock under this program. At March 31, 2024, $101 million and $70 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common and preferred stock, respectively, and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities.
Note 19. Equity Compensation Plans
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 9,170,507 and 10,211,459 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 $41 million at March 31, 2024, as shown in the following table.

(1)Equity grant forfeitures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 represent the reduction in future equity compensation expense related to employee terminations, for which the underlying equity awards will be forfeited upon the actual employee termination date subsequent to March 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2024, the weighted average amortization period remaining for all of our equity awards was less than two years.
Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")
We generally grant RSUs annually, as part of our compensation process. In addition, RSUs are granted from time to time in connection with hiring and promotions. RSUs generally vest over the course of a four-year vesting period, and are distributed annually, at the end of each vesting period.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 865,279 and 593,570 RSUs outstanding, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted 542,719 RSUs and distributed 271,010 RSUs. Unvested RSUs at March 31, 2024 vest through 2028.
Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”)
We generally grant DSUs annually, as part of our compensation process. In addition, DSUs are granted from time to time in connection with hiring and promotions and in lieu of the payment in cash of a portion of annual bonus earned. DSUs generally vest over the course of a four-year vesting period, and are distributed after the end of the final vesting period or after an employee is terminated.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 5,598,779 and 4,821,172 DSUs outstanding, respectively, of which 2,309,485 and 2,284,480, respectively, had vested. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted 1,089,871 DSUs and distributed 312,264 DSUs. Unvested DSUs at March 31, 2024 vest through 2028.
Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”)
We generally grant PSUs annually, as part of our compensation process. PSUs generally have performance-based vesting over the course of a three-year vesting/performance period, and, subject to meeting certain performance criteria, will vest and be distributed after the end of the vesting period.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the target number of PSUs that were unvested was 2,598,194 and 3,072,039, respectively. Vesting for PSUs generally occurs approximately three years from their respective grant dates based on various total shareholder return performance calculations, as discussed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
For 473,845 target PSU awards that were granted in December 2020, the performance vesting period ended on January 1, 2024. Based upon the performance-based vesting criteria of these awards, 564,975 shares of our common stock underlying these PSUs

Cash Settled Deferred Stock Units ("csDSUs")
Cash-settled deferred stock units that were granted 2020, 2021, and 2022, each vest over four-year periods and are subject to continued employment through the vesting periods through 2026. These awards will be fully vested and payable in cash with a vested award value based on the closing market price of our common stock on their respective final vesting dates. These awards are classified as liabilities in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and are being amortized over their respective vesting periods on a straight-line basis, adjusted for changes in the value of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. At March 31, 2024, 980,407 csDSUs were outstanding, the liability associated with these awards was $3 million, and the unamortized compensation cost was $3 million. The expense associated with these awards is included in "Long-term incentive award expense," as presented in Table 22.1 above.
Refer to Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for additional information regarding long-term cash-based awards and cash-settled deferred stock units.
Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units ("csRSUs")
During the year ended December 31, 2023, $4 million of csRSUs were granted to certain executive officers that will vest over the next four years through 2027. On each vesting date over the four-year vesting period, cash in an amount equal to the value of the common stock underlying the csRSUs that vest on such vesting date will be distributed to the recipients. These awards are classified as liabilities in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and are being amortized over their respective vesting periods on a straight-line basis, adjusted for changes in the value of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. At March 31, 2024, 535,620 csRSUs were outstanding, the liability associated with these awards was $0.3 million, and unamortized compensation cost of the csRSUs was $3 million. The expense associated with these awards is included in "Long-term incentive award expense," as presented in Table 22.1 above.
Refer to Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for additional information regarding long-term cash-based awards and cash-settled deferred stock units.
Cash Settled Performance Stock Units
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $6 million of cash-settled performance stock units ("csPSUs") were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees which vest over approximately three years through January 1, 2026. The target number of csPSUs that were granted totaled 663,499 units based on a per unit grant-date fair value of $9.75. The equivalent number of underlying shares of common stock that vest and that the recipient becomes entitled to receive at the time of vesting will generally range from 0% to 250% of the target number of csPSUs granted, with the target number of csPSUs granted being adjusted to reflect the value of any dividends declared on our common stock during the vesting period. Upon vesting, the recipient will receive the settlement of the vested shares in cash based on the closing market price of our common stock on the final vesting date. These awards are classified as liabilities in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and are being amortized over their respective vesting periods on a straight-line basis, adjusted for changes in the value of the csPSUs at the end of each reporting period. At March 31, 2024, the liability associated with these awards was $2 million, and unamortized compensation cost of the csPSUs was $3 million. The expense associated with these awards is included in "Long-term incentive award expense," as presented in Table 22.1 above.

Long-Term Cash-Based Awards
Cash-based retention awards were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees between 2020 and 2023 that vest over one- to three-year periods, and are subject to continued employment through the vesting periods through 2025. At March 31, 2024, the liability associated with these awards was $1 million and the unamortized compensation cost of long-term cash-based awards was $1 million.

Note 23. 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 other things, the assets it holds, the income it generates, and the composition of its stockholders. 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized a provision for income taxes of $1 million and benefit from income taxes of $1 million, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal and state tax rates to our effective tax rate at March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Note 24. Segment Information
Redwood operates in three segments: Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking, Residential Investor 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, 2023.
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 at certain consolidated Legacy Sequoia Securitization entities, are included in the Corporate/Other column as reconciling items to our consolidated financial statements. These unallocated corporate expenses primarily include interest expense for our convertible notes and trust preferred securities (and in 2024 and 2023, realized gains from the repurchase of convertible notes), indirect general and administrative expenses and other expense. In the normal course of business, loans are originated and acquired at our mortgage banking segments and may subsequently be transferred to our investment portfolio segment either as whole loans or through the retention of securities from securitizations we sponsor and consolidate under GAAP. All of our loans are accounted for under the fair value option and amounts transferred between segments are accounted for at fair value at the time of transfer.
The following tables present financial information by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

OVERVIEW
Business Update
The positioning we established during 2023 led to tangible progress in the first quarter of 2024, demonstrated by increases in GAAP earnings and book value per share. Capital we raised in the fourth quarter of 2023 was deployed into accretive investments and used to retire maturing corporate debt. Residential Consumer lock volumes reached their highest level since the beginning of the Federal Reserve's interest rate tightening cycle in the first quarter of 2022, despite slow housing transaction activity. We also progressed towards the updated operating efficiency goals we conveyed to investors in March 2024 through expense reduction activities. In addition, the closing of our multi-pronged transaction with CPP Investments (“CPP”) in March 2024 was an important milestone in the evolution of our business model that we expect to help support our profitable growth in the years to come.
We believe we're at a critical crossroad in how private capital funds homeownership and overall housing investment. Last year, we announced a key strategic goal of evolving our investment approach, deploying capital alongside institutional partners while driving organic scale within our operating platforms. As we look forward, we believe this approach will significantly evolve our revenue mix over time and deliver differentiated income streams to shareholders. We believe that the CPP partnership provides more certainty of capital and more predictable cash flow streams through recurring fee-based income, while helping to unlock the operating leverage of our platforms. The $750 million CPP transaction includes a $500 million of joint venture, with potential cumulative purchasing power of $4 billion to acquire Residential Investor loans over the next several years (inclusive of planned third-party warehouse financing facilities). Additionally, we obtained flexible debt financing from CPP through a new $250 million secured revolving financing facility, designed to address the anticipated growth trajectory for our Residential Consumer business and finance certain of our unencumbered assets.
The first quarter of 2024 validated the opportunity for our Residential Consumer business to drive loan acquisition volume and profitability amidst persistently higher interest rates and low housing transaction activity. We locked $1.8 billion of loans during the quarter, a 53% increase from the fourth quarter. Lock volume was supported by strength in flow activity from banks as well as from bulk purchases. This segment delivered a 17% return on capital, supported by three accretive securitizations totaling $1.2 billion, which were issued on a monthly cadence that drove efficient capital turnover at increased volumes. Issuance spreads have continued to tighten and early in the second quarter of 2024 we have already priced our fourth securitization of the year.
Our first quarter jumbo lock volume mix reflected increased wallet share across our network of loan sellers, with bank lock volumes higher from the fourth quarter even as overall mortgage production at banks fell. Additionally, we witnessed a doubling of our quarterly lock volume with independent mortgage bankers ("IMBs"), as relationships with these sellers provide a longstanding strategic moat for the business that remains critical to growing market share going forward. Of our total lock volume for the quarter, 30% came from bulk acquisitions, an exciting development as our enhanced capital position will allow us to continue to be more aggressive in this channel and pursue larger, seasoned portfolios that complement on-the-run flow production. Collectively, these metrics reflect the unique positioning our franchise brings to both sellers and investors.
We directly originated our first home equity investment option (“HEI”) contracts through our Aspire platform in the first quarter, a significant milestone that we have continued to build on by growing Aspire's geographical footprint to include additional states. As mortgage rates hover above 7%, the buoyancy of prices for single-family homes has preserved homeowner equity that many are still unable to access, making HEI and other related products all the more attractive. While traditional second mortgage products remain an important source of liquidity for consumers, and will remain a focus of ours, they still fall short of addressing the needs for many homeowners. Additionally, we expect to continue differentiating both our HEI and traditional home equity products with structures that reflect the needs of today’s consumers.
Within our Residential Investor segment, our priorities remain prudently growing top-line revenue, proactively managing credit risk, and returning the business to sustained profitability. For the first quarter, we funded $326 million of loans, effectively flat from fourth quarter volumes. Revenue margins and segment profitability improved quarter over quarter, driven by tightening securitization spreads. Volume trends picked up later in the first quarter, and given recent volatility in benchmark interest rates, we built important momentum in less interest rate-sensitive products, including single-asset bridge loans.
Distribution channels for our Residential Investor loans remain open and are benefiting from more favorable market conditions. First quarter bridge production was largely distributed into our Oaktree joint venture and our three revolving bridge loan securitizations.
Residential investor loan delinquencies within our term and bridge loan portfolios remained stable from the fourth quarter of 2023 and we have continued to emphasize disciplined underwriting and product selection. At March 31, 2024, loans 90+ days delinquent within the bridge loan portfolio were primarily originated in the third quarter of 2022 or earlier, one of the key points at which we evolved our origination approach. Since late 2022, our Residential Investor production mix has remained predominantly focused on single-family loans where performance has remained resilient.

1.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.
2.Re-performing loan ("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.
3.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.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased by $2 million for the three-month periods primarily as a result of a decrease in net interest income from our Investment Portfolio of $11 million, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $8 million from our Mortgage Banking operations. The decrease in net interest income from our Investment Portfolio for the three-month periods is primarily related to an increase in borrowing costs on long-term debt facilities and ABS issued used to finance our investments within this segment. Furthermore, the increase in non-accrual loans over the period resulted in lower net interest income. Net interest income from Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking operations increased $7 million for the three-month periods due to higher average residential consumer loan balances starting during the second quarter of 2023 as well as the result of certain hedging activities at our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking operations.
Corporate net interest expense decreased $1 million during the three-month periods primarily related to lower average balances of our corporate debt as we retired the convertible debt which matured in August 2023, and repurchased in the open market some of our outstanding convertible debt over the last year across our other maturities, offset by our issuance of $60 million, 9.125% senior notes in January 2024. Additionally, we earned higher interest income at the corporate level from higher average cash balances invested in U.S. treasury securities (at a higher weighted average rate) or from financing a portion of our jumbo pipeline with cash rather than utilizing warehouse line financing.
We use a combination of fixed and floating rate debt to finance our fixed and floating rate investments. Over the past year, continued increases in benchmark interest rates, and to a lesser extent borrowing spreads, negatively impacted our net interest income. We also established financing capacity for non-performing loans which generally carry higher borrowing costs, however, these activities freed up additional capital to invest. While additional increases in the federal funds rate are not currently predicted by many market participants, further increases or widening of borrowing spreads could result in lower net interest income. To the extent interest rates remain elevated or increase further, certain fixed-rate term borrowings that mature in the coming quarters may have to be refinanced at higher interest rates, which could cause a reduction in net interest income. We maintained $370 million of unencumbered assets and $2.69 billion of excess warehouse capacity at March 31, 2024.
Additional detail on net interest income is provided in the “Net Interest Income” section that follows.
Mortgage Banking Activities, Net
Overall income from Mortgage banking activities, net was lower during the three-month periods, as a $4 million increase from Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking activities was offset by a $7 million decrease from Residential Investor Mortgage Banking.
In the Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment, loan purchase and lock volumes significantly increased from the first quarter of 2023 and continued through the end of the first quarter 2024 driven by an increase in loan purchases from banks and IMBs. We securitized or sold $1.4 billion of jumbo loans during the first quarter of 2024, including the securitization of $1.2 billion of loans across three Sequoia securitizations. Following the end of the first quarter of 2024 we completed a securitization of an additional $400 million of loans in our fourth Sequoia securitization of 2024. For the first quarter of 2024, we earned gross margins of 107 basis points, above our historical range of 75 to 100 basis points. In the first quarter of 2023, we had distributions of $686 million of loans completed through two securitizations of $657 million and whole loan sales of $29 million.
In the Residential Investor Mortgage Banking segment, income from mortgage banking activities decreased during the three-month periods due to lower overall funding volumes and lower overall margins. The decrease in overall funding volumes during the three-month periods is largely attributable to a combination of the increase in interest rates throughout 2023, combined with heightened selectivity on loan originations particularly in the multifamily space. Going forward, while we expect these trends to continue, in light of continued elevated interest rates, we are seeing continued borrower demand for certain of our products, with growing demand for products such as single-asset bridge and debt-service coverage ratio loans. To the extent interest rates moderate or move lower, we could see increased opportunities for our term loan production from current levels.
A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows.
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 and their associated interest rate hedges. Investment fair value changes, net totaled $22 million during the first quarter of 2024 and benefited from tightening of credit spreads across our securities portfolio. Investment fair value changes, net of associated interest rate hedges, on our securities portfolio totaled $30 million for the first quarter of 2024, all of which primarily related to increases in value in our Sequoia, CAFL Term and SLST securities retained from these consolidated securitizations. This increase was offset by negative investment fair value changes of $4 million related to impairments and the impact of rate modifications on the values of our unsecuritized residential investor bridge and term loan portfolios during the first quarter of 2024, all of which we hold at fair value. Fundamental performance of our residential consumer assets within our Investment Portfolio continues to be driven by strong employment data, embedded equity protection associated with loan seasoning and borrowers motivated to stay current on their low-coupon mortgages.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, investment fair value changes, net totaled negative $4 million and related primarily to our securities portfolio, net of associated interest rate hedges. While fundamental credit performance, including delinquencies and LTVs, remained stable across the broader portfolio in the first quarter of 2023, negative fair value changes incurred during the quarter on our CAFL securities were primarily driven by a credit event on a single asset underlying a retained bond. Additionally, certain fair value increases from interest rate movements on our RPL securities were mostly offset by decreases in values of associated risk management derivatives.
Additional detail on our investment fair value changes during 2024 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.
HEI Income, net
HEI income, net increased $5 million during the three-month periods, reflecting an increase of $2 million in our net investment in our securitized HEI entities, and an increase of $2 million in our unsecuritized HEI investments. HEI income is primarily comprised of recurring accretion of the underlying option value of the investments over time based on estimated future home price appreciation and other factors, along with periodic fluctuations in value influenced by changing housing and other market conditions. At the beginning of 2023 we projected negative home price appreciation for most of the year, and actual home price appreciation was positive for 2023 in most regions. HEI income in 2023 and into the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by this baseline accretion in value, while a smaller portion of the increase in value was driven by actual and projected trends in home prices improving relative to our modeled expectations, as well as realized value of options that were redeemed by underlying borrowers.
Additional detail on our other income is presented in Table 10.3 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Other Income, net
Other income, net for the first quarter of 2024 of $5 million was primarily comprised on MSR income, net of $4 million, which included positive MSR market valuations of $2 million. Other income, net for the first quarter of 2023 of $5 million, included MSR income, net of $1 million, which included negative MSR market valuations of $1 million. as well as fees and other income from Residential Investor Mortgage Banking.
Additional detail on our other income 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.
Realized Gains, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we realized gains of $0.4 million resulting from the repurchase of $31 million of our convertible debt maturing in 2024 and 2027 for a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million, as well as the repurchase of $7 million of CAFL bridge ABS for a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we realized $1 million of loss on early extinguishment of securitization debt financing certain of our reperforming loan securities, which was mostly offset by nominal gains on sales and calls of securities.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $1 million during the three-month periods primarily related to a decrease in variable and equity compensation expense of $3 million. During the first quarter of 2024, we implemented a reduction in workforce of 15% of our employees. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2024 included $2 million of fixed compensation expense and $1 million of equity compensation expense related to this organizational restructuring. The decrease in variable and equity compensation expense for the periods primarily relates to a reduction in employee headcount over the last twelve months.
Additional detail on our General and administrative expenses is presented in Table 22.1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Portfolio Management Costs
These costs are primarily related to sub-servicing costs on our residential investor bridge loans and HEI, as well as costs incurred for the management of specially serviced residential investor bridge loans and related workout arrangements. Portfolio management costs during the three-month periods were slightly higher during the 2024 period and overall resulted from higher carrying balances of residential investor bridge loans and HEI within our investment portfolio since the beginning of 2023, as well as increased costs related to a higher balance of delinquent residential investor bridge loans during 2023 and into the first quarter of 2024.
Loan Acquisition Costs
The increase in loan acquisition costs during the three-month periods is primarily related to higher residential consumer loan lock volumes as well as an increase in servicing fees related to our residential investor mortgage banking segment.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes is almost entirely related to activity at our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"), which primarily includes our mortgage banking activities and MSR investments, as well as certain other investment and hedging activities. The tax provision for the three-months ended March 31, 2024 reflects GAAP income earned at our TRS during this period, resulting primarily from MSR investments held at our TRS. The tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily the result of GAAP losses from our mortgage banking operations at our TRS during that period.
For additional detail on income taxes, see the “Taxable Income and Tax Provision” section that follows.
Other Comprehensive Income, Net
Other comprehensive income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted from unrealized gains on our available-for-sale securities, primarily resulting from tightening of credit spreads.
For additional detail on other comprehensive loss, net, see Note 18 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(1)Average balances for residential consumer loans held-for-sale and held-for-investment, residential investor loans held-for-sale and held-for-investment, multifamily loans held-for-investment, and trading securities are calculated based upon carrying values, which represent estimated fair values. Average balances for AFS securities, short-term debt, long-term debt and certain ABS issued are calculated based upon amortized historical cost. Average balances for ABS carried at fair value are calculated based upon fair value.
(2)Interest income and interest expense at "Legacy Sequoia", "Sequoia", "Freddie Mac SLST", "Freddie Mac K-Series", "CAFL Term", and "CAFL Bridge" reflect activity from consolidated variable interest entities. While we consolidate these entities for GAAP reporting purposes, economically, we earn interest income from the securities we own in these entities, which is represented by the net interest income (interest income less interest expense) from these consolidated entities presented in the table above.
(3)At March 31, 2024, our trading securities consisted primarily of interest-only securities, which generate a higher cash interest yield. This interest income is generally offset by a decline in fair value (recognized through investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income) related to the receipt of cash flows each period, resulting in a lower overall economic yield for these investments.

Corporate/Other
Net expense from Corporate/Other for the first quarter of 2024 increased slightly from the first quarter of 2023 due to organizational restructuring charges associated with employee severance and related transition expenses as we aligned expenses with the evolving operating environment.
Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking Segment
This segment consists of a mortgage loan conduit that acquires residential consumer loans from third-party originators for subsequent sale to whole loan buyers, securitization through our SEMT® (Sequoia) private-label securitization program, or transfer into our investment portfolio. Subordinate securities that we retain from our Sequoia securitizations (many of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) are transferred to and held in our Investment Portfolio segment. We typically acquire prime jumbo mortgages and the related mortgage servicing rights on a flow basis from our extensive network of loan sellers. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of residential consumer loans held-for-sale within this segment. This segment’s main source of mortgage banking income is net interest income from its inventory of loans held-for-sale, securities utilized for hedging purposes, as well as income from mortgage banking activities, which includes valuation increases (or gains) on loans we acquire and subsequently sell, securitize, or transfer into our 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.
The following table provides the activity of residential consumer loans held in inventory for sale at our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking business during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our residential consumer mortgage loan conduit locked $1.78 billion of loans ($1.29 billion adjusted for expected pipeline fallout – i.e., loan purchase commitments), and purchased $1.01 billion of loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we distributed $202 million (unpaid principal balance) through whole loan sales and we completed three securitizations backed by $1.19 billion of loans (unpaid principal balance). Both lock volume and distribution volume for the first quarter of 2024 represented the highest volume levels since the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in the first quarter of 2022, despite continued low housing transaction activity.
Capital allocation to this segment grew to $200 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $165 million at December 31, 2023. The change in capital allocation was driven by the increase in volume activity throughout the quarter. We continue to competitively bid on bulk jumbo opportunities while also focusing on our new or re-established relationships with bank sellers to support future flow volumes. As discussed in the business update section of this MD&A, while interest rates remain elevated, we continued to focus on gaining market share within our seller network.
We utilize a combination of capital and our residential consumer loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of residential consumer loans held-for-sale. At March 31, 2024, we had residential consumer warehouse facilities outstanding with five different counterparties, with $1.35 billion of total capacity and $879 million of available capacity. These facilities included non-marginable facilities (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent) with $500 million of total capacity and marginable facilities with $850 million of total capacity. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into a new $200 million marginable, recourse facility and also renewed a $300 million non-marginable facility as a non-recourse facility that had previously been a recourse facility.
The following table presents key earnings and operating metrics for our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Residential consumer mortgage banking income presented in the table above is comprised of net interest income from residential consumer loans held-for-sale in inventory, real estate securities used to hedge our loan pipeline and non-interest income, net from this segment (see Note 20 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.
The increase in contribution from our residential consumer mortgage banking operations during the three-month period ending March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to higher mortgage banking volumes which drove overall income for the segment higher. In the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations section, we discussed additional factors impacting the change in net interest income and mortgage banking activities in the first three months of 2024 and 2023 for this segment. We actively manage our exposure to various market risks that can impact the value of our loan inventory in this segment, and our segment contribution in the first three months of 2024 continued to benefit from these activities. We continue to evaluate monetary policy, housing trends and economic data, among other factors, in developing our hedging strategy and we may leverage a variety of instruments as hedges, including TBAs, rates futures, real estate securities, options and other types of securities.
Additionally, operating expenses for this segment increased for the three-month period primarily due to an increase in loan acquisition costs related to the increase in loan purchases.
Activity at this segment is performed within our taxable REIT subsidiary and subject to federal and state income taxes. The provision for income taxes for the first three months of 2024 resulted from GAAP income from these operations at our TRS during that period. The benefit from income taxes for the first quarter of 2023 was due to an overall GAAP loss incurred at our TRS during that period.
Residential Investor Mortgage Banking Segment
This segment consists of a platform that originates residential investor loans for subsequent securitization, sale, or transfer into our investment portfolio. Residential investor loans are loans to investors in single-family rental and multifamily properties, which we classify as either "term" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range from 3 to 30 years) or "bridge" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range between 12 and 36 months). Term loans are mortgage loans secured by residential real estate (primarily 1-4 unit detached or multifamily) that the borrower owns as an investment property and rents to residential tenants. Residential investor bridge loans are mortgage loans which are generally secured by unoccupied (or in the case of certain multifamily properties, partially occupied) residential or multifamily real estate that the borrower owns as an investment and that is being renovated, rehabilitated or constructed. We typically distribute most of our term loans through our CAFL® private-label securitization program, or through whole loan sales, and typically transfer our residential investor bridge loans to our Investment Portfolio, where they will either be retained for investment or securitized, or sold as whole loans. Since 2023, we have also established joint ventures with global investment managers as another avenue through which we can distribute our bridge and term loan production.
In the second quarter of 2023, we established a joint venture with Oaktree to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. In the first quarter of 2024, we established a joint venture with CPP Investments to invest in residential investor bridge and term loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. In accordance with the terms of our joint venture with CPP Investments, once warehouse financing for the joint venture has been secured, we have committed to sell certain residential investor loans that we originate into the joint venture that meet specified criteria at contractually pre-established prices. We will administer the joint ventures for ongoing fees and are entitled to earn additional performance fees upon realization of specified return hurdles.
This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of loans held-for-sale. This segment’s main sources of mortgage banking income are net interest income earned on loans while they are held in inventory, origination and other fees on loans, mark-to-market adjustments on loans from the time loans are originated or purchased to when they are sold, securitized or transferred into our investment portfolio, and gains/losses from associated hedges. Direct operating expenses and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.
The following table provides residential investor loan origination activity at Redwood during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(1)We originate residential investor bridge loans at our TRS and transfer many of them to our REIT. Origination fees and any fair value changes on these loans prior to transfer or sale are recognized within Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Loans transferred to our REIT are classified as held-for-investment, with fair value changes subsequent to their transfer generally recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). For the carrying value and activity of our Residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment, see the Investment Portfolio section that follows.
(2)Funding and sales for Residential investor bridge loans in 2024, includes $15 million related to construction draws on loans sold to the Oaktree joint venture.
(3)For residential investor term loans, amounts primarily represent loans transferred into consolidated securitizations reflected within our Investment Portfolio Segment. Residential investor bridge loan amounts represent the transfer of loans originated or acquired by our Residential Investor Mortgage Banking segment at our TRS and transferred to our Investment Portfolio segment at our REIT, as described in the preceding footnote.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we funded $326 million of residential investor loans (64% bridge and 36% term). Elevated interest rates and volatility continued to impact industry-wide demand. While first quarter 2024 funded volumes were impacted by this broader market trend as well as seasonal factors, we ultimately delivered funded volumes modestly unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition, we expect sustained demand from sponsors seeking fixed-rate bridge loans or term loans with more prepayment flexibility, and will continue to assess our bridge loan portfolio for opportunities to refinance borrowers into term loans. We remain focused on strongly-underwritten and less rate-sensitive products that can be distributed efficiently and profitably.
Residential investor loan distribution activity decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, though we continue to see healthy demand for our production through our distribution channels. First quarter 2024 distributions of $59 million were entirely though whole loan sales or sales to joint ventures.
Capital allocated to this segment decreased slightly during the first quarter of 2024 to $124 million at March 31, 2024. We utilize a combination of capital and loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of residential investor loans that we hold for sale. At March 31, 2024, we had residential investor warehouse facilities outstanding with seven different counterparties, with $2.71 billion of total capacity (used for both term and bridge loans) and $1.58 billion of available capacity (inclusive of capacity on non-recourse facilities). All of these facilities are non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent).

Residential investor mortgage banking income presented in the table above is comprised of net interest income from our loans held-for-sale in inventory, mortgage banking activities, net (see Note 20 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 (including amortization of purchase intangibles) for this segment.
The decrease in segment contribution from our residential investor mortgage banking operations during the three-month period was primarily attributable to lower mortgage banking income, as discussed in the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A, slightly offset by lower general and administrative costs. We continued to decrease headcount in this segment in the first quarter of 2024, as we effected an organizational restructuring and aligned expenses with the evolving operating environment. Looking forward, we expect our expense structure to remain dynamic in response to market conditions, whereby we would expect higher variable costs with increasing volumes. Conversely, we would expect to re-assess our expense structure and re-align it accordingly if expectations for volumes or margins remain constrained.
Activity at this segment is performed within our taxable REIT subsidiary and subject to federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes during each of the three-month periods was due to GAAP losses generated by this segment's operations in those periods.
Investment Portfolio Segment
This segment consists of organic investments sourced through our residential consumer and residential investor mortgage banking operations, including primarily securities retained from our mortgage banking securitization activities (some of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) and residential investor bridge loans, as well as third-party investments including RMBS issued by third parties, investments in Freddie Mac K-Series multifamily loan securitizations and reperforming loan securitizations (both of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes), servicer advance investments, home equity investments ("HEI"), and other housing-related investments and associated hedges. This segment’s main sources of income are net interest income and other income from investments, changes in fair value of investments and associated hedges, and realized gains and losses upon the sale of securities. Direct operating expenses and tax provisions associated with these activities are also included in this segment.
The following table presents details of our Investment Portfolio at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 organized by investments organically created through our mortgage banking segments and those acquired from third-parties. Amounts presented in the table represent our retained economic interests in consolidated Sequoia, CAFL SFR, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, Servicing Investment and HEI securitizations as noted.

The size of our Investment Portfolio increased slightly during the first three months of 2024, as we were actively deploying capital into new investments. At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 80% of our Investment Portfolio economic interests were organically created, and 20% were purchased from third parties. First quarter 2024 capital deployment activities represented the highest quarterly level of capital deployment into investments since the third quarter of 2022. Capital deployment was largely focused on debt repurchases, certain third-party securities, and the retention of securities created from our Sequoia securitizations. See the Investments Detail and Activity section that follows for additional detail on our portfolio investments and their associated borrowings.

The increase in contribution from the Investment Portfolio during the three-month periods was primarily attributable to positive investment fair value changes, driven by tighter credit spreads, in the first quarter of 2024 relative to negative investment fair value changes in the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, HEI Income and Other Income were higher in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the first quarter of 2023, as discussed in the Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A. These improvements were partially offset by lower net interest income, as discussed in the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A.
Investment fair value changes, net is primarily comprised of the change in fair value (both realized and unrealized) of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option and 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 (the difference in amounts in the table above and in Table 5.6 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements relates to fair value changes for investments held at corporate/other).
In the first quarter of 2024, strong fundamental credit performance continued across most of our Investment Portfolio. The was driven by healthy employment data, and tightened credit spreads despite the selloff in interest rates. Many segments of our single-family portfolio are cushioned by embedded equity protection resulting from loan seasoning. The residential investor sector overall continues to manage through macro crosswinds that have impacted sponsor sentiment and reduced transaction volumes across the industry. We remain focused on the impact that higher short-term interest rates have on sponsors, notwithstanding overall strength in leasing trends. In anticipation of this impact, our team has continued to work with borrowers well in advance of their loan maturities to assess project plans and ensure they manage towards successful completions. Delinquencies greater than 90 days across our residential investor bridge loans were slightly higher in the first quarter of 2024, declining across most of the single-family portfolio versus a slight uptick in the multifamily portfolio. REO balances in the residential investor bridge portfolio decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2024, and we continue to manage through pockets of stress, largely with a handful of more significant sponsor relationships where a combination of rate modifications and fresh equity has been utilized.
Other income, net within this segment is primarily comprised of income from our MSR investments, bridge loan extension fees, and risk share investment income. Details on the composition of Other income, net are included in Note 21 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Realized gains, net 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 activity during 2023.
Operating expenses at this segment increased $1 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to organizational restructuring charges associated with employee severance and related transition expenses incurred within this segment as we aligned expenses with the evolving operating environment.
We hold certain of our investments, primarily our MSRs, at our taxable REIT subsidiary. Our provision for income taxes at this segment is primarily driven by the amount of income earned from portfolio assets and, for each of the three-month periods, reflects positive net income earned from investment portfolio activities at our taxable REIT subsidiary.

(2)At March 31, 2024, $15 million of Sequoia Securities and $62 million of Other Third-Party Securities were used as hedges for our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking operations, and were included in our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment.
At March 31, 2024, our securities owned at Redwood and in consolidated entities consisted of fixed-rate assets (99%), 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 recourse term debt and marginable debt in the form of repurchase (or “repo”) financing. At March 31, 2024, we had: real estate securities with a fair value of $428 million (including securities owned in consolidated Sequoia and CAFL securitization entities) that were financed with $224 million of short-term, non-marginable recourse debt and $56 million of long-term, non-marginable recourse debt through our subordinate securities financing facilities; re-performing loan securities with a fair value of $271 million (including securities owned in consolidated securitization entities) that were financed with $171 million of non-recourse securitization debt (ABS issued); real estate securities with a fair value of $114 million (including securities owned in consolidated securitization entities) that were financed with $81 million of short-term recourse debt incurred through repurchase facilities with four different counterparties; and $57 million of securities that were financed with a short-term financing facility. The remaining $197 million of our securities, including certain securities we own that were issued by consolidated securitization entities, were financed with capital.
The following table summarizes the credit characteristics of our entire real estate securities portfolio by collateral type at March 31, 2024. This table includes both our securities held on balance sheet and our economic interest in securities we own in securitizations we consolidate in accordance with GAAP.

(1)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.
(2)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.
(3)At March 31, 2024, $15 million of Sequoia Securities and $62 million of Other Third-Party Securities were used as hedges for our Residential Mortgage Banking operations, and were included in our Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking segment.
We primarily target investments that have a sensitivity to housing credit risk, typically sourced through our operating businesses where we control the underwriting and review of underlying collateral. During the first quarter of 2024, our overall residential and Agency multifamily securities portfolio continued to demonstrate stable fundamentals, driven by underlying loan seasoning, low 90+ day delinquencies and embedded growth in home prices and rents. Given the seasoned nature of our investments (particularly within our RPL securities and Sequoia securities), many of our residential investments are supported by substantial home price appreciation and borrower equity in the underlying homes. As previously noted, 90 day+ delinquencies for the term loans underlying our consolidated CAFL securities rose modestly during the first quarter of 2024.
With a weighted average quarter-end carrying value of 67 cents to face value, we estimate our securities portfolio had approximately $2.47 per share of net discount to par at quarter end. We believe continued credit performance in our underlying securities portfolio could contribute to our ability to realize potential upside in book value over time, reversing unrealized losses taken in 2023, which were largely driven by technical spread widening.
Residential Investor Bridge Loans Held-for-Investment
The following table provides the activity of Residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(1)We originate residential investor bridge loans at our TRS and transfer a portion of them to our REIT that we intend to hold for investment. 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.
Our $2.05 billion of Residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment at March 31, 2024, were comprised of first-lien, interest-only loans with a weighted average coupon of 10.45% and original maturities of six to 36 months. At origination, the weighted average FICO score of sponsors of these loans was 752 and the weighted average LTV ratio of these loans was 64%. At March 31, 2024, of the 2,654 loans in this portfolio, 108 loans with an aggregate fair value of $93 million and an unpaid principal balance of $104 million were greater than 90 days delinquent; of which 92 of these loans, with an aggregate fair value of $70 million and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $82 million, were in foreclosure. Additionally, REO associated with bridge loans decreased from $88 million at December 31, 2023, to $85 million at March 31, 2024, resulting from foreclosure of loans with $101 million and $102 million of unpaid principal, respectively.
The fair value of residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment of $2.05 billion at March 31, 2024 declined from $2.07 billion at December 31, 2023. Changes in the fair value of these loans during the first quarter of 2024 primarily reflect reductions in values for non-accrual bridge loans and certain modified bridge loans since the fourth quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, $50 million of residential investor bridge loans (representing cumulative unpaid principal balance as of March 31, 2024) were subject to modifications that included reductions in interest rates (including, in certain cases, deferrals of interest), among other terms, and in certain cases, combined with infusions of fresh capital from either the existing sponsor or third-party sources. The modifications converted the loans from floating rate to fixed rate and resulted in a weighted average reduction in contractual interest rate (including deferred interest) on these loans of approximately 3.3%. Of the $50 million of modified loans, all were contractually current at March 31, 2024. While we continue to work proactively with certain sponsors to address the impacts of rising interest rates, elongated project timelines, or other issues, further increases in delinquencies or modifications within our residential investor bridge loan portfolio could ultimately result in further decreases in net interest income and the fair value of our bridge loans held for investment, and further instances of borrower/sponsor stress could lead to realized credit losses. In addition to loans for which we completed these types of modifications, during the first quarter of 2024, we extended the maturities of $155 million of loans (representing cumulative unpaid principal balance as of March 31, 2024). An increase in maturity extensions in the residential investor bridge portfolio would increase the expected time to repayment with a potential impact on fair values and credit losses. However, given the overall short duration nature of our bridge loans, a certain level of maturity extensions are a regular asset management outcome for these loans, irrespective of market conditions. In the first quarter of 2024, the average length of maturity extensions granted on residential investor bridge loans was just under eight months.
We generally value delinquent residential investor loans at a dollar price that is informed by various market data, including the estimated fair value of the collateral securing a loan, for which we typically receive third-party appraisals, as well as estimated sales costs. The amounts we may ultimately recover through the foreclosure of loans and the sale of the underlying collateral or through alternative strategies, such as through loan sales or discounted payoffs, could vary materially from our estimates and could have a material impact on our earnings in future periods.
We finance our residential investor bridge loans with a combination of recourse, non-marginable warehouse facilities, non-recourse, non-marginable facilities, and non-recourse securitization debt. At March 31, 2024, we had $27 million of debt incurred through short-term warehouse facilities with two counterparties, which was secured by $36 million of residential investor bridge loans; $920 million of debt incurred through long-term facilities with four different counterparties, which was secured by $1.22 billion of residential investor bridge loans; and $709 million of securitization debt secured by $762 million of residential investor bridge loans and $22 million of restricted cash. At March 31, 2024, the unpaid principal balance of bridge loans financed was $2.04 billion, of which $701 million was financed with recourse, non-marginable facilities, $587 million was financed with non-recourse, non-marginable facilities, and $752 million was financed through non-recourse CAFL bridge securitizations.
The following table provides the composition of residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment by product type as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(2) Includes loans for light to moderate renovation of residential and small multifamily properties (generally less than 20 units).
(3) Includes loans for predominantly light to moderate rehabilitation projects on multifamily properties.
At March 31, 2024, the fair value of our total residential investor bridge loans held-for-investment and associated REO represented 98.6% of the combined unpaid principal balance of these loans and the unpaid principal balance of the loans associated with the REO at time of foreclosure. The fair value of multi-family loans within this population ($883 million at March 31, 2024) and associated multifamily REO ($44 million at March 31, 2024), represented 97.0% of the combined unpaid principal balance of these loans and the unpaid principal balance of the loans associated with the REO at time of foreclosure.

Additional details on our Other Investments is included in Note 11 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 2024, our Board of Directors declared regular dividends of $0.16 per common share and $0.625 per Series A preferred share for the first quarter of 2024, which were paid on March 28, 2024 and April 15, 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, we expect our full-year dividend distributions to exceed our annual minimum distribution requirements and we believe that we will meet 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 2024 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 portion of our 2024 common stock dividend distributions to be taxable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Any remaining amount is currently expected to be characterized as a return of capital, which in general is nontaxable (provided it does not exceed a shareholder's tax basis in Redwood shares) and reduces a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares (but not below zero). To the extent such distributions exceed a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares, such excess amount would be taxable as capital gain. We currently expect all of our 2024 preferred stock dividend distributions to be taxable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Under the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs, none of Redwood’s 2024 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 2024 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, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a tax provision of $1 million and a tax benefit of $1 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 provision from a benefit from income taxes year-over-year was primarily the result of GAAP income earned at our TRS in the first quarter of 2024 compared to a GAAP loss in the first quarter of 2023.
Realization of our deferred tax assets ("DTAs") is dependent on many factors, including generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of NOL carryforwards (where applicable) and generating sufficient capital gains in future periods prior to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards. We determine the extent to which realization of our DTAs is not “more likely than not” and establish a valuation allowance accordingly. We closely analyzed the realizability of our net deferred tax assets in whole and in part, and, at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we reported net federal ordinary and capital DTAs with no material valuation allowance recorded against them. We evaluate our deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is "more likely than not" that some portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods. We conduct our evaluation by considering, among other things, all available positive and negative evidence, historical operating results and cumulative earnings analysis, forecasts of future profitability, and the duration of statutory carryforward periods. Based on this analysis, we continue to believe it is more likely than not that we will realize our federal deferred tax assets in future periods as income is earned at our TRS; therefore, there continues to be no material valuation allowance recorded against our net federal DTAs. This evaluation requires significant judgment in assessing the possible need for a valuation allowance and changes to our assumptions
could result in a material change in the valuation allowance with a corresponding impact on the provision for income taxes in the period including such change.
If in a future period, based on available evidence, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that our DTAs will be realized, then a valuation allowance would be established with a corresponding charge to GAAP earnings, which would reduce our book value. Such charges could cause a material reduction, up to the full value of our net DTAs for which a valuation allowance has not previously been established, to our GAAP earnings and book value per share for the quarterly and annual periods in which they are established and could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial results, or liquidity.
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, a corporate secured revolving financing facility, payments of principal and interest we receive from our investment portfolio assets, proceeds from the sale of investment portfolio assets, and cash generated from our mortgage banking operating activities, such as the sale and securitization of mortgage loans. Our most significant uses of cash are to purchase and originate mortgage loans for our mortgage banking operations and manage hedges associated with those activities, to purchase investment securities and make other investments, to repay principal and interest on our debt, to meet margin calls associated with our debt and other obligations, to make dividend payments on our capital stock, to fund draws on our bridge loan portfolio and other commitments when requested, and to fund our operations.
At March 31, 2024, our total capital was $1.92 billion, consisting of (i) $1.22 billion of equity capital, (ii) $680 million of convertible notes and long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets (including $116 million of convertible debt due in July 2024, $157 million of exchangeable debt due in 2025, $207 million of convertible debt due in 2027, $60 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2029, and $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037), and (iii) $15 million of promissory notes included in short-term debt. In January 2024, we issued $60 million of 9.125% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes with a maturity of March 1, 2029 which we may redeem in whole or in part at any time on or after March 1, 2026.
As of March 31, 2024, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $275 million. 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 can be subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent. 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 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 mortgage 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 or another credit event related to the mortgage loan or security being financed, a decline in the value of the underlying property securing the mortgage loan, as determined by an appraisal, broker price opinion, or similar third-party source, an extended dwell time (i.e., period of time financed using a particular financing facility) for certain types of mortgage loans, 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, based on the occurrence of a triggering credit event impacting the financed collateral which is followed by a decline in the market value of the financed collateral (as determined by the lender), or based on a decline in the market value of financed collateral in an aggregate amount that causes the effective advance rate associated with such financing facility to exceed a specified threshold, based on market value determinations by Redwood and one or more third party valuation agents.
We also distinguish our debt between recourse and non-recourse, as our non-recourse debt 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 (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. From time to time, we may incur debt with a mixture of both recourse and non-recourse elements, such that only a portion of the loan would be subject to a full recourse guaranty with the remainder being non-recourse. In this case, we would consider as recourse debt only that portion of borrowings subject to a full recourse guaranty, with the remainder considered non-recourse debt.
At March 31, 2024, in aggregate, we had $2.24 billion of secured recourse debt outstanding, financing our mortgage banking operations and investment portfolio, of which $364 million was marginable and $1.88 billion was non-marginable.
We are subject to risks relating to our liquidity and capital resources, including risks relating to incurring debt under loan warehouse facilities, securities repurchase facilities, other short- and long-term debt facilities and other risks relating to our corporate debt and use of derivatives. A further discussion of these risks is set forth below under the heading “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short-and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities."
Repurchase Authorization
Our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common stock, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. In May 2023, our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization for the repurchase of up to $70 million of our preferred stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock or preferred stock and repurchased $31 million of our convertible and exchangeable debt. At March 31, 2024, $101 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock, and $70 million remained available for the repurchase of shares of our preferred stock. To date in the second quarter of 2024, we have continued to repurchase outstanding debt securities. Like investments we may make, any repurchases of our common stock, preferred stock, or debt securities under these authorizations would reduce our available capital and unrestricted cash described above.
Cash Flows and Liquidity for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Cash flows from our mortgage banking activities and our investments can be volatile from quarter to quarter depending on many factors, including the timing and amount of loan originations, acquisitions, sales and profitability within our mortgage banking operations, the timing and amount of securities acquisitions, sales and repayments, as well as changes in interest rates, prepayments, and credit losses. Therefore, cash flows generated in the current period are not necessarily reflective of the long-term cash flows we will receive from these operating or investment activities.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our net cash used in operating activities was $954 million. 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 residential loans associated with our mortgage banking activities. Loans purchased or originated for our mortgage banking operations 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. Additionally, many of these loans are sold into securitizations, which we consolidate under GAAP, and cash inflows from these sales are shown as proceeds from ABS issued within financing activities. Further, loans securitized or transferred into our investment portfolio are reclassified as held-for-investment loans, and any subsequent principal repayments or proceeds from sales of these loans are classified as investing activities. During the first three months of 2024, excluding cash flows from the purchase, origination, sale and principal payments of loans classified as held-for-sale, and the settlement of associated derivatives (which cumulatively totaled $970 million of net cash outflows), cash flows from operating activities were positive $16 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our net cash provided by investing activities was $350 million and primarily resulted from proceeds from principal payments on loans held-for-investment and proceeds from sales of securities, in excess of cash deployed into these investments. Because many of our investment securities, loans and HEI are financed through various borrowing agreements, a significant portion of the proceeds from any sales or principal payments of these assets are generally used to repay balances under these financing sources. Similarly, all or a significant portion of cash flows from principal payments of loans and HEI at consolidated securitization entities would generally be used to repay ABS issued by those entities.
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.
As presented in the "Supplemental Noncash Information" subsection of our consolidated statements of cash flows, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we transferred loans between held-for-sale and held-for-investment classification, 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, 2024, our net cash provided by financing activities was $575 million. This primarily resulted from $883 million of net borrowings under ABS issued (resulting from the issuance of three Sequoia securitizations), partially offset by $408 million of net repayments of short-term debt borrowings, and $126 million of net borrowings under long-term debt facilities and long-term debt. During the three months ending March 31, 2024, net long-term borrowings include the issuance of $60 million of senior notes in January 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we declared and paid dividends for the first quarter of 2024 on our common stock of $0.16 per common share (totaling $22 million) and paid dividends for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $0.625 per share (totaling $2 million) on our preferred stock. Specifically, on March 7, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend on our common stock of $0.16 per share for the first quarter of 2024, which was paid on March 28, 2024 to shareholders of record on March 21, 2024. Additionally, on March 7, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.625 per share of preferred stock, which was paid on April 15, 2024 to stockholders of record on April 1, 2024.
In accordance with the terms of our outstanding deferred stock units, cash-settled deferred stock units, restricted stock units and cash-settled restricted stock units, which are stock-based compensation awards, each time we declare and pay a dividend on our common stock, we are required to make a dividend equivalent payment in that same per share amount on each outstanding deferred stock unit, cash-settled deferred stock unit, restricted stock unit and cash-settled restricted stock unit.
Material Cash Requirements
In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions that may require future cash payments. As required by GAAP, some of these obligations are recorded on the balance sheet, while others are off-balance sheet or recorded on the balance sheet in amounts different from the full contractual or notional amount of the transaction.
Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations during the twelve months following March 31, 2024, include maturing short-term debt, interest payments on debt and ABS issued, payments on operating leases, funding commitments for residential investor bridge loans, strategic investments, and other current payables. Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations beyond the twelve months following March 31, 2024, include maturing long-term debt, interest payments on long-term debt, payments on operating leases and funding commitments for residential investor bridge loans, strategic investments, and principal and interest payments under ABS issued (as described further below under Liquidity Needs for our Investment Portfolio).
At March 31, 2024, we had commitments to fund up to $513 million of additional advances on existing residential investor bridge loans. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the borrower and other terms regarding advances that must be met before we fund the commitment (for example, funding is dependent on actual progress on a project and we retain the right to conduct due diligence with respect to each draw request to confirm conditions have been met). A majority of the commitments are for longer-term renovate/build-for-rent loans (which generally have funding caps below their full commitment amount) and are expected to fund over the next several quarters. Additionally, at March 31, 2024, we had $1.58 billion of available warehouse capacity for residential investor loans and scheduled bridge loan maturities are expected to provide an additional source of cash that can be used to fund our commitments.
For additional information regarding our material cash requirements, see Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the caption Contractual Obligations. For additional information on commitments and contingencies as of March 31, 2024 that could impact our liquidity and capital resources, see Note 17 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 17 to the Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Most of our loan warehouse facilities and our servicer advance financing 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 2023 and during the first quarter of 2024, extinguished others we deemed under-utilized, and have other such facilities with scheduled maturities during the next twelve months. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into a new recourse, marginable $200 million facility to finance residential consumer loans, and amended an existing residential consumer loan facility from recourse to non-recourse. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2024, we entered into a corporate secured revolving financing facility with CPP Investments to provide recourse debt financing secured by previously unencumbered assets, such as residential investor securities, residential consumer securities and other investments, as well as equity in certain operating subsidiaries. At March 31, 2024, this facility had a borrowing limit of $200 million and a two-year term, with a one-year extension option. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we exercised our right under the terms of the facility to increase the committed capacity to $250 million.
One of our subordinate securities financing facilities matures in September 2024. Recourse term borrowings under this facility were $123 million at March 31, 2024, and are secured by certain securities we retained from Sequoia securitizations we sponsored. Another one of our subordinate securities financing facilities matures in February 2025. Recourse term borrowings under this facility were $101 million at March 31, 2024 and are secured by certain securities we retained from CAFL securitizations we sponsored. While we will continue to evaluate our alternatives with respect to these maturities, we expect we will be able to refinance these securities utilizing securities repurchase financing or alternative types of secured debt. However, if market interest rates remain elevated, the cost of this financing would increase our borrowing costs for these assets.
Additionally, one series of our convertible notes is maturing in July 2024 and has an outstanding principal balance of $116 million at March 31, 2024. We expect to utilize cash on hand to repay our convertible debt that is maturing, which will reduce the amount of cash that can be deployed into our business and could reduce the earnings potential of our business. Further, if market rates for corporate capital remain elevated and we choose to issue new corporate capital, it could negatively impact our profitability.
We expect to meet our obligations coming due in less than one year from March 31, 2024, 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, incremental borrowings under existing, new or amended financing arrangements, or through the issuance of equity or debt capital. As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $370 million of unencumbered assets, and we currently estimate we could generate incremental capital organically through financing of these assets. Our unencumbered assets consist primarily of bridge loans, HEI, and retained securities from our securitization activities. To date in the second quarter of 2024, we have established a new financing line for bridge loans and we are actively engaged in seeking expanded financing capacity for HEI and expect to make further progress on this initiative in the second quarter of 2024.
During the first three months of 2024, the highest balance of our short-term debt outstanding was $1.61 billion. See Note 14 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our short-term debt. See Note 16 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our long-term debt.
Liquidity Needs for our Mortgage Banking Activities
We generally use loan warehouse facilities to finance the loans we acquire and originate in our mortgage banking operations while we aggregate the loans for sale or securitization. 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, 2024, we had residential consumer warehouse facilities outstanding with five different counterparties, with $1.35 billion of total capacity and $879 million of available capacity. These included non-marginable facilities with $500 million of total capacity and marginable facilities with $850 million of total capacity. At March 31, 2024, we had residential investor warehouse facilities outstanding with six different counterparties, with $2.71 billion of total capacity and $1.58 billion of available capacity. All of these residential investor financing facilities are non-marginable. We note that several of these facilities used to finance our residential investor mortgage banking loan inventory are also used to finance bridge loans held in our investment portfolio.
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. Our ABS issued is non-recourse and 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. Certain of our ABS issued, including that issued through our CAFL Bridge loan securitizations, HEI securitizations, and SLST re-securitization, are subject to optional redemptions and interest rate step-ups. If we choose not to redeem these securitizations, the interest rates will step-up, reducing our net interest income. If we choose to redeem the securities, we will need to secure alternative sources of financing for these assets or utilize available cash. See Notes 4 and 15, 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.
Additionally, we have non-recourse debt in the form of non-marginable warehouse facilities to finance a portion of our residential investor bridge loan portfolio. While this debt is non-recourse to Redwood, it does have fixed terms with prepayment options that allow us to refinance this debt or ultimately repay it upon maturity. In addition, the residential investor bridge loan joint venture we established in 2023 has a dedicated warehouse facility. This warehouse facility is an obligation of the joint venture, not of Redwood, and it is non-recourse to Redwood (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"). We expect to establish one or more similar, dedicated warehouse facilities for the residential investor bridge and term loan joint venture we established in the first quarter 2024. See Notes 11 and 17 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding our residential investor bridge loan and bridge and term loan joint ventures.d one or more third party valuation agents
The remainder of the debt we use to finance our investments is recourse debt, including our subordinate securities financing facilities, residential investor financing facilities, MSR financing facility, securities repo borrowings, HEI warehouse facility, and corporate secured revolving financing facility. For securities we have financed, our subordinate securities financing facilities are non-marginable and our repurchase debt facilities and MSR facility (which also finances certificated MSRs we classify as securities) are marginable. Our residential investor financing facilities and HEI warehouse facility are non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral), but may be subject to margin calls based on, for example, delinquency of the mortgage loan being financed, or a decline in the estimated value of the property securing the mortgage loan that is financed. We also characterize our corporate secured revolving financing facility as non-marginable, but it may be subject to margin calls based on a decline in the market value of financed collateral in an aggregate amount that causes the effective advance rate associated with such financing facility to exceed a specified threshold, based on market value determinations by Redwood and one or more third party valuation agents.
Additionally, our subordinate securities financing facilities are subject to optional redemptions and interest rate step-ups. If we choose not to redeem these borrowings, the interest rates will step-up, and in some cases already have, reducing our net interest income. If we choose to redeem the securities, we will need to secure alternative sources of financing for these assets or utilize available cash.
Delinquencies on residential investor bridge loans that are financed through warehouse facilities remained steady during the first quarter of 2024, and have been and are expected to continue to be, a required use of our liquidity to the extent the terms of the applicable warehouse facility apply reduced financing advance rates to these loans (“advance rate step-downs”) or these loans become ineligible for financing under the terms of the warehouse facility. Loans pledged on certain of our warehouse facilities while they are performing, that subsequently become delinquent, may become subject to advance rate step downs or repurchase requirements. We continue to maintain warehouse capacity. While we may have the ability to finance delinquent loans on other facilities with capacity for these types of loans, the advance rates are generally lower and the interest rates are higher. Additionally, our liquidity may be impacted to the extent delinquencies on loans financed through CAFL bridge securitizations were elevated above established thresholds for an extended period, which could trigger adverse changes to certain structural terms of these transactions (such as terms relating to the amortization of the issued securities and the revolving availability of financing under these transactions).
We use a balanced combination of fixed and floating rate debt to finance our fixed and floating rate investments. To the extent interest rates remain elevated or increase further, certain fixed-rate term borrowings that mature in the coming quarters could have to be refinanced at higher interest rates, which could cause a reduction in net interest income. Further, each of our three recourse subordinate securities financing facilities have interest rate step-up provisions, under which if we do not repay the facilities by certain specified dates, the interest rates on those facilities will increase (see Note 14 and Note 16 in in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on these provisions).
At March 31, 2024, in addition to our ABS issued, our investment portfolio was financed with $984 million of secured recourse debt, of which $127 million was marginable and $857 million was non-marginable, and $475 million of secured non-recourse debt that 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 and non-convertible senior debt securities we issue in the public markets and also includes trust preferred securities and promissory notes. See Notes 14 and 16 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information on our unsecured short-term and long-term debt.
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 consumer and residential investor 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 capital stock. Recourse debt incurred under these facilities is generally either the direct obligation of Redwood Trust, Inc., or the direct obligation of subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. and guaranteed by Redwood Trust, Inc. Risks relating to debt incurred under these facilities are described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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 consumer and residential investor mortgage loan warehouse facilities (including recourse and non-recourse warehouse facilities), short-term securities repurchase facilities, a HEI warehouse facility, short-term servicer advance financing, a secured, revolving debt facility collateralized by mortgage servicing rights, subordinate securities financing facilities, and a corporate secured revolving financing facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 we entered into a corporate secured revolving financing facility with CPP Investments to provide recourse debt financing secured by previously unencumbered assets, such as retained Residential Consumer and Residential Investor subordinate securities and other investments, as well as equity in certain operating subsidiaries. At March 31, 2024, this facility had a borrowing limit of $200 million and a two-year term, with a one-year extension option. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we exercised our right under the terms of the facility with CPP Investments to increase the borrowing limit of this facility to $250 million.
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).
Under many of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities, our short-term securities repurchase facilities, and our corporate secured revolving financing facility, while transferred or pledged mortgage loans or securities are financed under the facility, to the extent the value of the loans or securities, or the collateral underlying those loans or securities, declines, we are generally required to either immediately reacquire the loans or securities or meet a margin requirement to transfer or pledge additional loans, securities or cash in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. We refer to borrowing facilities with margin call provisions based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of changes in the market value of transferred or pledged mortgage loans or securities, as marginable debt. Borrowing facilities that we refer to as non-marginable debt may be subject to a margin call due to delinquency or another credit event related to the mortgage or security being financed, a decline in the value of the underlying property securing the loan or security, 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, based on the occurrence of a triggering credit event impacting the financed loan or security which is followed by a decline in the market value of the financed loan or security (as determined by the lender), or based on a decline in the market value of financed collateral in an aggregate amount that causes the effective advance rate associated with such financing facility to exceed a specified threshold, based on market value determinations by Redwood and one or more third party valuation agents, 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, 2024, only our short-term securities repurchase facilities (with $81 million of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2024), three of our residential consumer mortgage loan warehouse facilities (with a combined $237 million of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2024), and a certificated MSR facility (with $47 million of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2024) retain market-value based margin call provisions based solely on the lender's determination of market value and, as such, are considered marginable.
Margin call provisions under these facilities are further described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 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, 2023 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, 2023 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, 2023 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, 2023 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, 2023 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, 2024, 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, 2024 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, 2024 our level of recourse indebtedness resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants at a level such that we could incur more than $4 billion in additional recourse indebtedness.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and the possible effects of changes in estimates on our consolidated financial statements is included in Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We have elected the fair value option of accounting for a significant portion of the assets and some of the liabilities on our balance sheet, and the majority of these assets and liabilities utilize Level 3 valuation inputs, which require a significant level of estimation uncertainty. See Note 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, 2024, 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, 2023, incorporated herein by reference, for the same information on these assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023. 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, 2023, 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, 2023.
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, 2023.
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, 2023, 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, 2023.
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 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our risk factors are discussed under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as set forth below.
In conjunction with establishing the joint venture with CPP Investments in March 2024, we issued warrants exercisable for 1,974,905 shares of our common stock (the “First Tranche Warrants”); and (ii) warrants exercisable for 4,608,112 shares of our common stock (the “Second Tranche Warrants” and together with the First Tranche Warrants, the “Warrants”). For a description of the terms of the Warrants, see Note 18 to the Financial Statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the heading “Equity - Common Stock Warrants.”
In July 2022, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common stock, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. In May 2023, our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization for the repurchase of up to $70 million of our preferred stock. These authorizations have no expiration dates and do not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of our common or preferred stock under this program. At March 31, 2024, $101 million and $70 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common and preferred stock, respectively, 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, 2024.
