(A)The government and government-backed securities portfolio consists of 100% fixed-rate securities (accounted for on an amortized cost basis).

We largely invest in government and government-backed securities (U.S. Treasury securities and Agency RMBS) as a hedge to our MSR portfolio and to provide additional qualifying assets and income for the purposes of the meeting the REIT requirements. Our government and government-backed securities portfolio was $9.7 billion as of December 31, 2024. We finance investments in these securities with short-term borrowings under master uncommitted repurchase agreements. These borrowings generally bear interest rates offered by the counterparty for the term of the proposed repurchase transaction (e.g., 30 days, 60 days, etc.) of a specified margin over SOFR. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company pledged Agency RMBS 

80

and Treasury securities and associated margin deposits with a carrying value of approximately $10.1 billion and $8.6 billion, respectively, as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements. We expect to continue to finance our government-backed securities acquisitions with repurchase agreement financing. See Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information regarding financing of our government-backed securities, including a summary of activity related to financing from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024.

Our Origination and Servicing segment also includes the activity from several wholly-owned subsidiaries or minority investments in companies that perform various services in the mortgage and real estate sectors. These subsidiaries and investments include: Guardian, which is a national provider of field services and property management services, eStreet, which provides appraisal valuation services, and Avenue 365, which provides title insurance and settlement services to Newrez.
