REDWOOD TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2025(Unaudited) 

Note 1. Organization

Redwood Trust, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a specialty finance company focused on several distinct areas of housing credit where we provide liquidity to growing segments of the U.S. housing market not well served by government programs. We deliver customized housing credit investments to a diverse mix of investors, through our best-in-class securitization platforms, whole-loan distribution activities, joint ventures and our publicly traded shares. Our goal is to provide attractive returns to shareholders through a stable and growing stream of earnings and dividends, capital appreciation, and a commitment to technological innovation that facilitates risk-minded scale. We operate our business in four segments: Sequoia Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, Redwood Investments and Legacy Investments. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we established Legacy Investments as a new reportable segment to separately disclose financial results for assets that are no longer aligned with our core strategic objectives. These assets, which stem from a change in the manner in which the operations are evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), include our legacy unsecuritized bridge and term portfolios, certain securities in our third-party securities portfolio and other non-core legacy assets that are intended for sale, runoff, or other forms of disposition as part of our ongoing strategic realignment. See Note 4 for further discussion on our reportable segments, including the new Legacy Investments segment.Our primary sources of income are net interest income from our investments and non-interest income from our mortgage banking activities. Net interest income primarily consists of the interest income we earn on investments, less the interest expense we incur on borrowed funds and other liabilities. Income from mortgage banking activities is generated through the origination and acquisition of loans, and their subsequent sale, securitization, or transfer to our Redwood Investments.Redwood Trust, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. We generally refer, collectively, to Redwood Trust, Inc. and those of its subsidiaries that are generally not subject to subsidiary-level corporate income tax as “the REIT” or “our REIT.” We generally refer to subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. that are
