We are exposed to credit risk arising from our mortgage product, expect to be exposed to credit risk as we develop mortgage products, and any defaults by our mortgage clients would result in harm to our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We are exposed to credit risk arising from our mortgage loan originations, and expect to be exposed to credit risk in the future as we develop mortgage products. Our mortgage origination processes rely on models, policies, and procedures to assess borrower creditworthiness and predict the likelihood of default. These models and processes are inherently limited and may not accurately capture all relevant risk factors, particularly for certain borrower types such as self-employed individuals or non-owner-occupants. These also include the risk of early payment default and early payoff, both of which may result in penalties or the obligation to return a portion of the compensation received on the sale of the loan. Further, we will face the risk of repurchase requests from investors if there are defects, inaccuracies, or misrepresentations in the loan file, or if the loan fails to meet required standards.

If our mortgage origination processes fail to accurately predict defaults, we and our third-party underwriting service providers may experience higher-than-expected credit losses, be required to repurchase loans, or face increased regulatory scrutiny and compliance costs. Inaccurate underwriting by our third-party service providers could also harm our reputation and adversely affect our ability to grow our business, which may harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.
