Note 1 — Organization and Description of Business

Velocity Financial, LLC (“VF” or “the Company”) was a Delaware limited liability company formed on July 9, 2012, for the purpose of acquiring all membership units in Velocity Commercial Capital, LLC (“VCC”). On January 16, 2020, Velocity Financial, LLC converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Velocity Financial, Inc. Upon completion of the conversion, Velocity Financial, LLC’s Class A equity units of 97,513,533 and Class D equity units of 60,193,989 were converted to 11,749,994 shares of Velocity Financial, Inc. common stock. On January 22, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering of 7,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $13.00 per share to the public. On January 28, 2020, the Company completed the sale of an additional 1,087,500 shares of its common stock, representing the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $13.00 per share. The Company’s stock trades on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VEL.” The Company's stock also trades on the NYSE Texas, Inc. under the same symbol “VEL.” starting August 2025.

VCC, a California LLC formed on June 2, 2004, is a mortgage lender that originates and acquires residential and commercial investor real estate loans, providing capital to the investor real estate loan market. The Company is licensed as a California Finance Lender and, as such, is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $250 thousand. The Company does not believe there is any potential risk of not being able to meet this regulatory requirement. The Company uses its equity capital and borrowed funds to originate and invest in investor real estate loans and seeks to generate income based primarily on the difference between the yield on its investor real estate loan portfolio and the cost of its borrowings. The Company may also sell loans from time to time. The Company does not originate or acquire investments outside of the United States of America.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is the sole beneficial owner of the Velocity Commercial Capital Loan Trusts, from the 2017-2 Trust through and including the 2026-2 Trust, all of which are New York common law trusts, with the exception of the VCC 2025-MC1 Trust, and VCC 2025-RTL1 Trust which are Delaware statutory trusts. The Trusts are bankruptcy remote, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) formed for the purpose of providing secured borrowings to the Company and are consolidated with the accounts of the Company. On June 30, 2026, the Company sold a pool of nonperforming loans pursuant to a mortgage loan sale agreement (“Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement”) to VCC 2026-MC2 Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The conveyance of mortgage loans was accounted for as a sale and not deemed as a pledge to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. The Company determined that VCC 2026-MC2 Trust is also a VIE; however, the Company did not consolidate 2026-MC2 because it concluded it is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. See Note 2 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

On December 28, 2021, the Company acquired an 80% ownership interest in Century Health & Housing Capital, LLC (“Century”). Century is a licensed Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae” or “GNMA”) issuer/servicer that provides government-insured Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) mortgage financing for multifamily housing, senior housing and long-term care/assisted living facilities. Century originates loans through its borrower-direct origination channel and services the loans through its in-house servicing platform, which enables the formation of long-term relationships with its clients and drives strong portfolio retention. Century is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company as of completion of the acquisition. In addition, as a servicer of Ginnie Mae loans, Century is required to maintain a minimum net worth, and Century is in compliance with this requirement as of June 30, 2026.
