Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $95 million, compared with net income of $55 million for the same period in 2024. The decline primarily reflects adverse fair value adjustments and the subsequent sales and transfers of a portfolio of Legacy unsecuritized bridge loans and REO assets and third-party originated HEI and higher operating expenses largely taken in the second quarter of 2025. These impacts were partially offset by stronger performance in our Mortgage Banking operations for the nine month period.

Net interest income decreased to $57 million from $75 million. The decline was largely driven by an increase in the balance of Legacy unsecuritized bridge and term loan portfolios placed on non-accrual in 2025, which in certain cases resulted in reversals of previously accrued interest income. Lower net interest income in our Redwood Investments portfolio reflected paydowns on our third-party securities, as well as third-party security sales of assets that are no longer aligned with our core strategic objectives. Corporate interest expense also increased by $8 million, reflecting higher unsecured debt balances and full utilization of the secured revolving financing facility established in 2024. These decreases were partially offset by higher net interest income from our Mortgage Banking operations. Sequoia net interest income increased by $28 million, driven by higher loan purchase volumes and lower base floating rates on financing facilities as SOFR declined for the nine month period in 2025, relative to the 2024 period. CoreVest net interest income also increased incrementally.

Mortgage banking activities, net increased to $114 million from $73 million in the prior-year period, reflecting stronger performance across our Mortgage Banking operations. Within Sequoia, Mortgage banking activities, net increased by $34 million, as lock volumes rose to $13.9 billion from $6.7 billion, supported by continued strength in both flow and bulk executions, including the purchase of a large seasoned loan pool in the first quarter of 2025, along with outperformance of interest rate hedges. Sequoia also benefited from substantial growth in our new Aspire initiative during the nine month 2025 period, where lock volumes totaled $1.7 billion. CoreVest reported $39 million of Mortgage banking income during the nine-month
