Legal and Repurchase Reserves

See Note 19 for additional information on legal and repurchase reserves.

Payable to Non-Controlling Interests

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 11 and Note 16 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, 2025, the carrying value of their interests was $24 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, 2025, we allocated $2 million of income to the co-investors, respectively, recorded in Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income.

Additionally, 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 securitizations. We account for the co-investors' interests in the HEI securitization entities as liabilities, and at March 31, 2025, the carrying value of their interests was $88 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, 2025, the third-party investors' share of earnings, net from their retained interests was $5 million, recorded through HEI income, net on our consolidated statements of income.
