Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)

Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)

The allowance for credit losses reflects management’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the receivable balances included in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 3—“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion of the CECL reserve methodology.

As required, any subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recognized in “Net income (loss) available to common stockholders” in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded changes in the allowance for credit losses as follows (in millions):
