 30, 2024. Sequoia also sustained its leadership in the private-label RMBS market. Through the first half of 2025, it remained the top non-bank issuer of jumbo mortgage-backed securities, executing approximately 40% of non-bank jumbo securitization activity and operating with turn times twice as fast as peers.

Operating expenses increased to $16 million year-to-date, up from $11 million in the prior-year period. The increase reflects higher loan acquisition costs and volume-based variable compensation as loan activity scaled. Provision for income taxes increased from $3 million to $17 million, aligning with improved profitability.

Capital allocated to the Sequoia Mortgage Banking segment rose to $475 million at June 30, 2025, up from $300 million at June 30, 2024, consistent with the segment's growth trajectory and expanded pipeline.

CoreVest Mortgage Banking Segment

This segment consists of a platform that originates residential investor loans for subsequent securitization, sale, or transfer into our investment portfolio or into joint ventures. Residential investor loans are loans to investors in single-family rental and multifamily properties, which we classify as either "term" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range from three to thirty years) or "bridge" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range between six and 36 months). Term loans are mortgage loans secured by stabilized residential real estate (primarily 1-4 unit detached or multifamily) that the borrower owns as an investment property and rents to residential tenants. Residential investor bridge loans are mortgage loans which are generally secured by unoccupied (or in the case of certain multifamily properties, partially occupied) single-family or multifamily real estate that the borrower owns as an investment and that is being renovated, rehabilitated or constructed. Our bridge loans are first-lien, interest-only loans. In some instances, for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty based on specific facts and circumstances, we may amend or modify certain terms of our bridge loans. These modifications and amendments include interest rate reductions and extended maturity dates. In other instances, we extend maturities in the normal course of business, generally for between three to six months on average. These extensions are usually provided to align with updated rehabilitation timelines on the underlying properties. In addition to modifying loan terms, from time to time, we may also amend a loan's underlying budget (including allocations to hard/soft costs, interest reserves and other items) or construction and completion milestones,
