Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
At September 30, 2025, we were obligated under nine non-cancelable operating leases with expiration dates through 2031 for $13 million of cumulative lease payments. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our operating lease expense was $3 million and $4 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into three new office leases with a lease term of greater than one year.
At September 30, 2025, our operating lease liabilities were $12 million, which were a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities, and our operating lease right-of-use assets were $10 million, which were a component of Other assets.
Commitment to Fund Residential Investor Bridge Loans
As of September 30, 2025, we had commitments to fund up to $261 million of additional advances on existing residential investor bridge loans, of which $84 million related to loans currently in securitizations co-sponsored by one of our joint ventures. 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 September 30, 2025, we carried a $0.1 million contingent liability related to these commitments to fund construction advances. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded net market valuation income of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to this liability through Investment of fair value changes, net and on our consolidated statements of income.
On September 30, 2025, in connection with the sale of legacy unsecuritized bridge loans to the Legacy Trust, we entered into an agreement to provide up to $35 million of capital support if the Legacy Trust’s portfolio loan-to-value ratios exceed specified thresholds. We funded $10 million at closing, with up to $25 million in additional funding commitments if certain triggers are met. The arrangement was determined to have an initial fair value of zero and will be re-evaluated each reporting period. See Notes 8 and 9 for further discussion on this transaction.
Commitment to Fund Joint Ventures
In the first quarter of 2024, we entered into a joint venture with an institutional investment manager pursuant to which 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. We have committed approximately $100 million of equity capital to be allocated to the joint venture entities and joint venture co-investments to be held in Redwood's investment portfolio. At September 30, 2025, we had contributed $25 million of capital to the joint venture.
In the second quarter of 2023, we entered into a joint venture with another institutional investment manager to invest in residential investor bridge loans originated by our CoreVest subsidiary. 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 September 30, 2025, we had contributed $5 million of capital to the joint venture.
For additional information related to our commitments and contingencies, see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Loss Contingencies — Repurchase Reserves
We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential consumer loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties, residential investor loans we have sold to third parties, and conforming residential consumer loans 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, as applicable. 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 September 30, 2025, we were not aware of any material unsettled repurchase claims for these groups of sold loans.
For residential investor bridge loans sold to a joint venture, we record estimated losses on loans we are required to repurchase through mortgage banking activities, net as a component of the loan fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the impact of residential investor bridge loan repurchased was not material. At September 30, 2025, this residential investor bridge loan was classified as held-for-sale on our consolidated balance sheets.

There is no significant update regarding the litigation matters described in Note 18 within the financial statements included in Redwood’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the heading “Loss Contingencies - Litigation, Claims and Demands.”
