A liability is recognized for the fair value of the guarantee obligation undertaken for the non-contingent aspect of the guarantee and is removed only upon either the expiration or settlement of the guarantee. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $35.0 million and $34.8 million, respectively, of guarantee obligations included in the allowance for loss-sharing obligations.In addition to and separately from the fair value of the guarantee, we estimate our allowance for loss-sharing under CECL over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk. The general reserve related to loss-sharing was based on a collective pooling basis with similar risk characteristics, a reasonable and supportable forecast and a reversion period based on our average historical losses through the remaining contractual term of the portfolio.  In instances where payment under the loss-sharing obligations of a loan is determined to be probable and estimable (as the loan is probable of, or is, in foreclosure), we record a liability for the estimated loss-sharing specific reserve.When we settle a loss under the DUS loss-sharing model, the net loss is charged-off against the previously recorded loss-sharing obligation. The settled loss is often net of any previously advanced principal and interest payments in accordance with the DUS program, which are reflected as reductions to the proceeds needed to settle losses. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding advances of $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which were netted against the allowance for loss-sharing obligations. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our allowance for loss-sharing obligations, associated with expected losses under CECL, was $54.8 million and $48.3 million, respectively, and represented 0.24% and 0.21%, respectively, of our Fannie Mae servicing portfolio. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded an increase in CECL reserves of $4.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively. During the three and
