The Company is subject to credit risk in connection with its investments in loans. The two primary components of credit risk are default risk, which is the risk that a borrower fails to make scheduled principal and interest payments, and severity risk, which is the risk of loss upon a borrower default on a mortgage loan or other secured or unsecured loan. Severity risk includes the risk of loss of value of the property or other asset, if any, securing the loan, as well as the risk of loss associated with taking over the property or other asset, if any, including foreclosure costs. Credit risk in the loan portfolio can be amplified by exogenous shocks impacting borrowers, such as man-made or natural disasters.

During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company transferred proprietary reverse mortgage loans held-for-sale with an unpaid principal balance of $379.3 million and $97.8 million, respectively, to held-for-investment. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company transferred proprietary reverse mortgage loans held-for-sale with an unpaid principal balance of $580.0 million and $396.0 million, respectively, to held-for-investment.
Reverse mortgage loans are categorized as either "active" or "inactive." Inactive loans include loans where the borrower is deceased, no longer occupies the property, or is delinquent on tax and/or insurance payments; in addition, HECM loans may also be categorized as inactive as a result of various administrative or legal issues, such as missing loan documentation. Loans that are not inactive are categorized as "active."
The issuer of a HECM loan that has been pooled into an HMBS is required to repurchase such loan if its outstanding principal balance has reached 98% of its maximum claim amount (the "MCA"). The MCA for a loan is equal to the lesser of the home's appraised value or the maximum loan limit that can be insured by FHA, in each case at the point in time that the conditional commitment is issued. The timing and amount of the Company obligations with respect to MCA repurchases is uncertain, as repurchase is dependent largely on circumstances outside of the Company’s control, including the amount and timing of future draws and the status of the loan.
HECM loans that have reached 98% of the MCA and have been repurchased from an HMBS pool ("HECM Buyout Loans") are categorized as either assignable buyout loans ("ABOs") when active, or non-assignable buyout loans ("NABOs") when inactive. ABOs may be assigned to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), which then reimburses the Company for the outstanding debt on the repurchased loan, up to the MCA. For NABOs, following resolution of the loan, the Company may file a claim with HUD for any recoverable remaining principal and advance balances. Any unsecuritized HECM loan that is inactive, or that has already reached 98% of its MCA, is “unpoolable”; i.e., it is not eligible for securitization into HMBS.
