 funds rate during the first three quarters of 2023 and during the same period, reduced its overall purchases and holdings of government and mortgage-related bonds. Higher interest rates generally led to lower mortgage transaction volumes, increased competition, and lower profit margins. Volatility in market conditions resulting from the foregoing events have caused and may continue to cause credit spreads to widen, which reduces, among other things, availability of credit to our Company on favorable terms, liquidity in the market, the fair value of the assets on our balance sheet, and price transparency of real estate related or asset-backed assets. More recently, based on weakening inflation pressures, the U.S. Federal Reserve decreased the federal funds rate by 50 basis points in September 2024, 25 basis points in November 2024, and 25 basis points in December 2024, back to December 2022 levels, but indicated that it only projected two interest rate reductions in 2025. 

Our Company is actively monitoring these events and their effects on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. 

These continuing economic impacts may cause additional volatility in the financial markets and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, intangible assets, and liquidity in 2025 and beyond. See Results of Operations.

For further discussion on the potential impacts of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, see “Risks Related to the Business of the Company” and “Our business is significantly impacted by changes in interest rates. Changes in prevailing interest rates due to U.S. monetary policies or other macroeconomic conditions that affect interest rates may have a detrimental effect on our operations, financial performance, and earnings” under the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” as such risk factors may be amended or updated in our subsequent periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations

As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations may not be comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factors that may impact the comparability of our results of operations.

Discontinued Operations 

During the fourth quarter of 2022 and calendar year 2023, the Company entered into a series of transactions, discontinuing certain business lines while enhancing our reverse mortgage loan business, in order to transform our business from a vertically integrated lending and complementary services platform to a unified modern retirement solutions platform.
