 digital innovation strategy is designed to deliver financial services to seniors in a way that is both modern and user friendly. We will continue building a digital channel that supplements our existing lines of business and leverages automated digital tools to improve efficiency and the overall ease of transacting. We are similarly engaging in efforts to refine the systems used by our mortgage-broker partners to improve the efficiency and ease of originations via our TPO channel. We believe these efforts will increase brand and product recognition and awareness within the addressable market of U.S. seniors and among mortgage-brokers, make our marketing efforts and originations processes more efficient and less costly, improve the originations experience for borrowers and mortgage-broker partners, expand the number and depth of our relationships with borrowers and mortgage-broker partners, and ultimately raise our origination volumes.

Our Portfolio Management segment provides structuring and product development expertise as well as broker/dealer and institutional asset management capabilities, which facilitates innovation and the successful monetization of our loans. We securitize HECM loans into Home Equity Conversion Mortgage-Backed Securities (“HMBS”), which the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) guarantees, and sell the HMBS in the secondary market while retaining the rights to service the HECM loans. When HECM loans are not eligible for securitization into HMBS or are required to be bought out of a pool of HECM loans previously securitized into an HMBS, we convey the HECM loan to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) or liquidate them in accordance with program requirements, securitize them into privately placed mortgage-backed securities, or hold them for investment. In November 2024, Ginnie Mae announced the finalized term sheet for its HMBS 2.0 program expected to be implemented in 2026. Once implemented, the HMBS 2.0 program will enable us to securitize into HMBS additional HECM loans that are required to be bought out of pools of HECM loans securitized pursuant to Ginnie Mae’s existing HMBS program or otherwise not eligible for securitization pursuant to Ginnie Mae’s existing HMBS program (subject to expanded eligibility parameters applicable to the HMBS 2.0 program), increasing the HECM loans that we are able to securitize into HMBS. We both securitize non-agency reverse mortgage loans into mortgage-backed securities sold to investors and sell them as whole loans to investors. We may also decide
