 the confidence that the loans we generate can be efficiently and profitably sold to a deep pool of investors, either directly via whole-loan sales or indirectly via the issuance and sale of mortgage-backed securities. We seek to programmatically and profitably monetize our loans through sale or securitization, which minimizes capital at risk, while often retaining a future performance-based participation interest in the underlying cash flows of our monetized loans.

Through FAR, the Company originates, purchases, sells, securitizes, and services (in partnership with third-party subservicers) home equity conversion mortgages (“HECM”), which are originated pursuant to the Federal Housing Administration (the “FHA”) HECM program and are insured by the FHA, and non-agency reverse mortgage loans, which are not insured by the FHA. We have launched several non-agency reverse mortgage loan products to serve the United States of America (the “U.S.”) senior population and have plans for additional innovative products to satisfy this vast and largely underserved market. For example, we launched a non-agency second lien reverse mortgage loan product, second in priority behind the first lien of an existing traditional forward mortgage loan or home equity line of credit collateralized by the same mortgaged property. In 2024 and continuing in 2025, we invested more capital and resources into the second lien product, including marketing and digital efforts, in order to expand its reach through a leading broker-facing platform and expansion of the product to additional states. The launch and expansion of the second lien product has enabled us to serve borrowers who already have and desire to maintain a low-rate primary mortgage but want the convenience of a flexible second lien with no required monthly principal and interest payments, exemplifying our commitment to meet and serve new kinds of borrowers whose needs are not satisfied by existing available products. We are a leader in this market and we are focused on developing and offering products for borrowers with interest in using a reverse mortgage loan as a retirement planning tool, which we believe will continue to increase our addressable customer base and ultimately raise our origination volumes.

We originate loans through a retail channel (consisting primarily of a centralized retail platform) and a third-party originator (“TPO”) channel (consisting primarily of a network of mortgage-brokers). In 2024 and continuing in 2025, we took steps to streamline and enhance our marketing and originations operations and digital capabilities. We transitioned our sales teams onto one loan origination system, making our origination
