(1)At September 30, 2025, includes ABS issued from two consolidated VIE entities formed in connection with the financing of residential investor bridge loans sponsored by one of our joint ventures. At December 31, 2024 includes ABS issued from one consolidated VIE entity formed in connection with the financing of residential investor bridge loans sponsored by one of our joint ventures. One of the ABS issued by the CAFL bridge entity during the fourth quarter of 2024 is subject to an optional redemption in May 2027 and beginning in June 2027, the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 1.5% through final maturity in November 2031. The securitization is structured with $300 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 24 months of the transaction (through November 2026), 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. (2) See Note 24 for further discussion. 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 September 30, 2025, the majority of the ABS issued and outstanding had contractual maturities beyond five years. See Note 16 for detail on the carrying value components of the collateral for ABS issued and outstanding. During the third quarter of 2025, we transferred subordinate securities we owned in certain consolidated and unconsolidated Sequoia securitization trusts to a Sequoia re-securitization trust that we sponsored, which we determined was a VIE. At issuance, we sold $250 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and elected to account for the ABS issued under the fair value option, with changes in the fair value of the ABS reported through our consolidated statements of income in Investment fair value changes, net. The stated weighted average coupon of the ABS issued was approximately 6.4% at issuance, increasing by 3.0% after the payment date occurring in August 2027. The ABS issued are subject to an optional redemption beginning in August 2027 and have a final stated maturity in December 2056. At issuance, we retained 100% of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. We maintained certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the trust and as such, we consolidated the trust. At September 30, 2025, the collateral for the Sequoia re-securitization trust included $166 million of third-party securities as well as $155 million of Sequoia securities that we have retained from certain consolidated Sequoia securitization entities. The Sequoia re-securitization ABS are included in "Sequoia" in Table 17.1 above at September 30, 2025. See Note 16 for further information regarding our Principles of consolidation on this trust. During the third quarter of 2025, we called a Sequoia re-securitization trust that was issued in 2024 with a stated coupon of 8.5% at issuance and repaid $190 million of the associated outstanding ABS. During the second quarter of 2025, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of an entity formed in connection with a rated bridge loan securitization (presented within CAFL in Table 17.1 above at September 30, 2025) and sponsored by one of our joint ventures. We determined the entity was a VIE for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. 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 September 30, 2025, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $284 million, and the net carrying value was $285 million. The weighted average stated coupon of the ABS issued was 6.2% at issuance. The ABS issued by the CAFL bridge entity are subject to an optional redemption in November 2027 and beginning in December 2027, the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by one percentage point through final maturity in May 2040. The ABS issued by this securitization were collateralized by $280 million of residential investor bridge loans, $16 million of restricted cash and $20 million of other assets at September 30, 2025. The securitization is structured with $300 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 24 months of the transaction (through May 2027), 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 2025, we transferred subordinate securities we owned in certain consolidated and unconsolidated Sequoia securitization trusts to a Sequoia re-securitization trust that we sponsored, which we determined was a VIE. At issuance, we sold $109 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties at a discount and elected to account for the ABS issued under the fair value option, with changes in the fair value of the ABS reported through our consolidated statements of income in Investment fair value changes, net. The stated weighted average coupon of the ABS issued was approximately 8.0% at issuance, increasing to 11.0% after the payment date occurring in April 2027. The ABS issued are subject to an optional redemption beginning in April 2027 and have a final stated maturity in October 2055. At issuance, we retained 100% of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. We maintained certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the trust and as such, we consolidated the trust. At September 30, 2025, the collateral for the Sequoia re-securitization trust included $2 million of third-party securities as well as $147 million of Sequoia securities that we have retained from certain consolidated Sequoia securitization entities. The Sequoia re-securitization ABS are included in "Sequoia" in Table 17.1 above at September 30, 2025. See Note 16 for further information regarding our Principles of consolidation on this trust. In the first quarter of 2025, we transferred subordinate securities we owned in certain consolidated and unconsolidated Sequoia securitization trusts to a Sequoia re-securitization trust that we sponsored, which we determined was a VIE. At issuance, we sold $100 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties at a discount and elected to account for the ABS issued under the fair value option, with changes in the fair value of the ABS reported through our consolidated statements of income in Investment fair value changes, net. The stated weighted average coupon of the ABS issued was approximately 8.5% at issuance, increasing to 11.5% after the payment date occurring in January 2027. The ABS issued are subject to an optional redemption beginning in January 2026 and have a final stated maturity in May 2055. At issuance, we retained 100% of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. We maintained certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the trust and as such, we consolidated the trust. At September 30, 2025, the collateral for the Sequoia re-securitization trust included $20 million of Sequoia securities we owned from unconsolidated Sequoia securitization trusts as well as $85 million of Sequoia securities that we have retained from certain consolidated Sequoia securitization entities.
