(1)Weighted average is calculated based on the interest bearing principal balance of each loan within the related category. For loans acquired with servicing rights released by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation do not reflect loan servicing fees. For loans acquired with servicing rights retained by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation are net of servicing fees. (2)For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the gross coupon was 6.86% for Non-QM loans, 6.36% for Single-family rental loans, 10.40% for Single-family transitional loans, 9.95% for Multifamily transitional loans, and 5.11% for Legacy RPL/NPL loans. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the gross coupon was 6.65% for Non-QM loans, 6.39% for Single-family rental loans, 10.45% for Single-family transitional loans, 9.18% for Multifamily transitional loans, and 5.16% for Legacy RPL/NPL loans. (3)LTV represents the ratio of the total unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date. Excluded from the calculation of weighted average are certain low value loans secured by vacant lots, for which the LTV ratio is not meaningful. (4)Excludes loans for which no Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score is available. (5)For Single-family and Multifamily transitional loans, the LTV presented is the ratio of the maximum unpaid principal balance of the loan, including unfunded commitments, to the estimated “after repaired” value of the collateral securing the related loan, where available. For certain Single-family transitional loans, totaling $324.0 million and $445.6 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and certain Multifamily transitional loans, totaling $143.5 million and $252.1 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, an after repaired valuation was not available. For these loans, the weighted average LTV is calculated based on the current unpaid principal balance and the as-is value of the collateral securing the related loan.

(1)LTV represents the ratio of the total unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date. For Single-family and Multifamily transitional loans, the LTV presented is the ratio of the maximum unpaid principal balance of the loan, including unfunded commitments, to the estimated “after repaired” value of the collateral securing the related loan, where available. For certain Single-family transitional loans, an after repaired valuation was not obtained and the loan was underwritten based on an “as is” valuation. Excluded from the calculation of weighted average LTV are certain low value loans secured by vacant lots, for which the LTV ratio is not meaningful.
