We are committed to supporting our partners with our product depth, execution, and expertise, while creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

_____________________
1.Economic return on book value is based on the period change in GAAP book value per common share plus dividends declared per common share in the period.
2.Earnings available for distribution is a non-GAAP measure. See Non-GAAP Disclosures section that follows for additional information on this measure.
3.Recourse leverage ratio is defined as recourse debt at Redwood divided by tangible stockholders' equity. Recourse debt excludes $12.8 billion of consolidated securitization debt (ABS issued and servicer advance financing), other liabilities and other debt that is non-recourse to Redwood, and tangible stockholders' equity excludes $46.8 million of goodwill and intangible assets.
4.Lock volume represents loans identified for purchase from loan sellers. Lock volume does not account for potential fallout from pipeline that typically occurs through the lending process.
5.Re-performing loan ("RPL") and jumbo securities delinquency rate calculations are weighted by notional balances of loans collateralizing each of our securities investments. Bridge loan and CAFL securities delinquency rates are calculated as BPL term loans in our consolidated CAFL securitizations, loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held for sale with a delinquent payment greater than 90 days, divided by the total notional balance of loans in consolidated CAFL securitizations, loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held for sale. Excludes third-party originated loans. Bridge loan delinquency rate calculations were updated in Q2'24 to include full UPB values for loans in joint ventures (prior period presented was conformed to updated calculation methodology). Calculation excludes third-party purchased bridge loans.
6.Secured recourse leverage ratio for our Investment Portfolio is defined as secured recourse debt financing our investment portfolio assets divided by capital allocated to our investment portfolio.
7.Represents Q3'24 activity through July 31, 2024 unless otherwise noted.
8.Capital unlocked from re-securitization is subsequent to the repayment of existing associated debt.

Analysis of Income Statement - Changes from First Quarter 2024 to Second Quarter 2024
Net interest income increased from the first quarter as a result of accretive capital deployment which was partially offset by higher corporate interest expense from a new corporate secured financing facility and unsecured debt issuance.

Income from Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking increased from the first quarter, driven by 49% quarter over quarter increase in volumes. Gain on sale margins declined to near the low end of our historic range.

Income from Residential Investor Mortgage Banking increased from the first quarter, driven by improved distribution economics from accretive whole loan sales during the quarter, and a 41% quarter over quarter increase in volumes.
Fair value changes on our Investment Portfolio in the second quarter primarily reflected improved credit performance and spread tightening on our securities portfolio, offset by negative fair value changes on our bridge loans.

HEI income, net increased in the second quarter, as actual and projected trends in home price appreciation improved, benefiting valuations in our HEI portfolio.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased from the first quarter primarily as a result of 20% lower fixed employee compensation relative to the first quarter. G&A for the quarter reflected a $1 million annual corporate expense.
Our provision for income taxes in the second quarter increased as a result of improved results from both our residential consumer and investor mortgage banking operations.

1.Certain totals may not foot due to rounding.
2.In the fourth quarter of 2023, we changed our calculation of EAD and conformed all prior period amounts presented in the table above and throughout this earnings release. This change consisted of removing the previously presented line item titled "Change in economic basis of investments". Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2023, we changed our consolidated income statements to include a line item titled "HEI income, net". This line item includes all amounts related to our HEI investments that were previously presented within the "Investment fair value changes, net" line item. As such, our adjustment for "Investment fair value changes, net" in our current calculation of EAD does not include fair value changes related to our HEI investments.
3.EAD and EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders and GAAP ROE, respectively. EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity. We believe EAD and EAD ROE provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. Management also believes that EAD and EAD ROE are metrics that can supplement its analysis of the Company’s ability to pay dividends, by providing an indication of the current income generating capacity of the Company's business operations as of the quarter being presented. EAD and EAD ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes.
4.Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts within that same line item on our consolidated statements of income, which primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments (excluding HEI) and associated hedges. As noted above, realized and unrealized gains and losses on our HEI investments are reflected in a new line item on our consolidated income statements titled "HEI income, net".
5.Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts within that line item on our consolidated statements of income.
6.Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend, CoreVest and 5Arches acquisitions.
7.Organizational restructuring charges for the first quarter of 2024 represent costs associated with employee severance and related transition expenses.
8.Tax effect of adjustments represents the hypothetical income taxes associated with all adjustments used to calculate EAD.
9.EAD ROE is calculated by dividing EAD by average common equity for each respective period.

At our March Investor Day, we asserted that you, as investors in RWT, hold the keys to tremendous optionality on the future of housing finance. This statement was meant to reflect our unique, strategic positioning in response to anticipated regulatory shifts and the rapid emergence of private capital in our sector. Today, after a second consecutive quarter of ~50% growth in residential consumer lock volumes, combined with 40% quarterly growth in residential investor loan volumes, validation of that statement is upon us. Large institutional investors continue to exhibit strong demand for the residential assets we are uniquely positioned to source and manage. And now, as the Fed finally begins to exhibit signs that its historic tightening cycle is ending, a macro environment to facilitate transformative growth can emerge. Putting it all together, we think the case for Redwood has never been clearer.

The second quarter of 2024 brought improved efficiency metrics across our segments, as we grew profitability on the back of strong volumes and a 20% reduction in fixed costs. Earnings Available for Distribution (“Non-GAAP EAD”) was $0.13 per share for the second quarter, 70% higher than the prior quarter1. Book value remained stable at $8.73 per share. Our total economic return was 1.3% for the second quarter, inclusive of our $0.16 per share dividend2. After extinguishing the remainder of our July 2024 convertible debt maturity subsequent to quarter-end, our cash and cash equivalents position was approximately $275 million at July 31, 2024.

Progress with our bank partners illustrates the core asset/liability challenges these institutions still face when funding fixed rate mortgages with deposits. This drives shifts in bank product and portfolio strategies, and has further evolved how banks serve their customers. As we continue to focus on forward flow jumbo production with banks, we now consider the $1.3 trillion of seasoned jumbo loans on bank balance sheets to be an addressable market for us. In fact, in the second quarter, approximately 35% of our bank lock volume came from such seasoned portfolios, signaling the start of a durable opportunity that can complement our on-the-run flow business.

As rates continue to impact overall housing activity, these dynamics are driving our Residential Consumer market share higher. Lock volume with banks – a group which now account over half of our 203 sellers – grew 80% from the first quarter on strong bulk and flow volume. We are now actively engaged with 60% of the top 50 jumbo originators overall – a sea change in our traditional reach – and our current estimated second quarter market share of 6% was itself a substantial increase from prior quarters.

1 Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”) is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Measures” slides in the Endnotes of our Q2’24 Redwood Review for additional information and reconciliation of second quarter Non-GAAP EAD per share of $0.13 to GAAP earnings per share of $0.10.
2 Total economic return is based on the periodic change in GAAP book value per common share plus dividends declared per common share during the period, divided by beginning period GAAP book value per common share.


Secondary financing products also remained in focus during the second quarter, as we gained momentum in purchasing closed end second lien (“CES”) loans and directly originating home equity

investments (“HEI”). Untapped home equity in the U.S. continues to grow and grabbed recent headlines with Freddie Mac’s preliminary entry into purchasing CES. This development adds credence to the need for more institutional structure around home equity products, an area of competitive advantage for a platform of our tenure. While we remain measured in our HEI rollout awaiting the interest rate cycle to turn, Freddie’s provisional approval creates a refreshed window to use our broadened capital base to support the GSEs in their core missions.

Demand from private credit institutions also drove a strong operating quarter for our Residential Investor segment, which delivered its highest return since 2021. We funded $459 million of Investor loans, up 41% from the first quarter with a near even split between term and bridge loans, important progress in our production mix as term loan fundings rose 91% quarter over quarter. Our joint ventures with Oaktree and CPP Investments spoke for most of our second quarter 2024 production and were further complemented by an accretive sale of approximately $240 million in term loans to a top-tier insurance-backed buyer. Combined with further portfolio growth within our joint ventures, deeper inroads with new loan buyers will help evolve the platform’s revenues towards recurring and predictable fee streams, facilitating scale with less direct capital usage through time.

While credit performance in our broader Residential Investor portfolio remains stable overall, workout activity persisted on the legacy multifamily bridge portfolio, a strategy we largely discontinued in the summer of 2022. At June 30th, that portfolio comprised less than 15% of our overall capital base and ran off approximately 10% during the second quarter of 2024. Through the process of stabilizing this portfolio, we’ve continued to incur incidental workout costs as our asset management team makes progress towards productive resolutions. Given the pace of paydowns and workout activity, we expect the portfolio to continue factoring down in the next two to three quarters, with moderating interest rates potentially accelerating payoff and refinance activity.

Fundamentals on Redwood’s overall $3.4 billion investment portfolio continue to perform exceptionally well, materially exceeding our modeled expectations. That’s important, because the book value of this portfolio has been significantly impacted by the 550 basis point hike in benchmark rates over the past two years. As rates stabilize, and potentially begin to come down, we believe the book values of our long-term fixed-rate investments stand to directly benefit. With the overall portfolio still carried at an aggregate $2.18 per common share net discount, this represents a key source of earnings upside that in recent quarters has been hard to unlock.

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we’re preparing for unexpected challenges – particularly in light of an already unprecedented Presidential election cycle. But in terms of controlling the controllables, we remain pleased with our market positioning and will continue to execute on our strategic goals. Though rates remain stubbornly high, a data-driven Fed now has increasing evidence to commence a more accommodative monetary policy. Our operating advantages are designed to be durable and we believe the turn in this cycle can have an important boomerang effect across our business lines. We look forward to further updating you on our progress as regulatory, monetary, and political changes take shape this fall.

30 Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”) and EAD Return on Capital (“EAD ROE”) EAD and EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders and GAAP return on common equity (“GAAP ROE”), respectively. EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with those adjustments. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity. We believe EAD and EAD ROE provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. Management also believes that EAD and EAD ROE are metrics that can supplement its analysis of the Company’s ability to pay dividends, by providing an indication of the current income generating capacity of the Company's business operations as of the quarter being presented. EAD and EAD ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common shares, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes. Footnotes: 1. Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts within that same line item on our consolidated statements of income, which primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments (excluding HEI) and associated hedges. As noted above, realized and unrealized gains and losses on our HEI investments are reflected in a line item on our consolidated income statements titled “HEI income, net”. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Investment fair value changes, net includes positive investment fair value changes of $2.5 million in our Investment Portfolio, and negative investment fair value changes of $1.4 million in corporate/other. 2. Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts within that line item on our consolidated statements of income. 3. Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend, CoreVest and 5 Arches acquisitions. 4. Organizational restructuring charges for the first quarter of 2024 represent costs associated with employee severance and related transition expenses. 5. The tax effect of adjustments represent the hypothetical income taxes associated with all adjustments used to calculate EAD. Non-GAAP Measures


 
31 EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net Contribution and GAAP Return on Capital, respectively. EAD Net Contribution presents a measure of the profitability of our business operations and is defined as GAAP Net Contribution adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. Each of these adjustments to arrive at EAD Net Contribution are the same adjustments used to calculate EAD, as applicable to each segment for which it is being calculated. EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital presents a measure of profitability relative to the amount of capital utilized in the operations of each segment during a period and is calculated by dividing annualized non-GAAP EAD Net Contribution by the average capital utilized by the segment during the period. Management utilizes these measures internally in analyzing each of the Company’s business segments’ contribution to EAD. See prior slide for a further description of how management utilizes EAD and why EAD may assist investors, as well as limitations related to using EAD-based metrics. We caution that EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as alternatives to GAAP Net Contribution, GAAP Return on Capital or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net contribution from our segments, reconciled to EAD Net Contribution, and the associated GAAP return on capital and non-GAAP EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital. (1) See footnotes to table on prior page for a full description of these adjustments. Note: Numbers may not foot due to rounding. Non-GAAP Measures
