Note 7 — Securities Held-to-Maturity

Agency Private Label Certificates (“APL certificates”). In connection with our Private Label securitizations, we retain the most subordinate class of the APL certificates in satisfaction of credit risk retention requirements. At March 31, 2023, we retained APL certificates with an initial face value of $192.8 million, which were purchased at a discount for $119.0 million. These certificates are collateralized by 5-year to 10-year fixed rate first mortgage loans on multifamily properties, bear interest at an initial weighted average variable rate of 3.94% and have an estimated weighted average remaining maturity of 7.30 years. The weighted average effective interest rate was 8.85% at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, including the accretion of a portion of the discount deemed collectible. Approximately $6.7 million is estimated to mature after one year through five years and $186.1 million is estimated to mature after five years through ten years.

Agency B Piece Bonds. Freddie Mac may choose to hold, sell or securitize loans we sell to them under the Freddie Mac SBL program. As part of the securitizations under the SBL program, we have the ability to purchase the B Piece bond through a bidding process, which represents the bottom 10%, or highest risk, of the securitization. At March 31, 2023, we retained 49%, or $106.2 million initial face value, of seven B Piece bonds, which were purchased at a discount for $74.7 million, and sold the remaining 51% to a third party. These securities are collateralized by a pool of multifamily mortgage loans, bear interest at an initial weighted average variable rate of 3.74% and have an estimated weighted average remaining maturity of 6.0 years. The weighted average effective interest rate was 11.43% and 12.20% at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, including the accretion of a portion of the discount deemed collectible. Approximately $7.3 million is estimated to mature within one year, $15.8 million is estimated to mature after one year through five years, $0.4 million is estimated to mature after five years through ten years and $16.3 million is estimated to mature after ten years.

The allowance for credit losses on our held-to-maturity securities was estimated on a collective basis by major security type and was based on a reasonable and supportable forecast period and a historical loss reversion for similar securities. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments and we continue to accrue interest on all our securities.

We recorded interest income (including the amortization of discount) related to these investments of $3.1 million and $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
