NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements represent the condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations of Walker & Dunlop, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Walker & Dunlop” and the “Company” mean the Walker & Dunlop consolidated companies. The statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include certain financial statement disclosures and other information required for annual financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the Company in the interim periods presented have been included. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or thereafter.  

Walker & Dunlop, Inc. is a holding company and conducts the majority of its operations through Walker & Dunlop, LLC, the operating company. Walker & Dunlop is one of the leading commercial real estate services and finance companies in the United States. The Company originates, sells, and services a range of commercial real estate debt and equity financing products, provides multifamily property sales brokerage and valuation services, engages in commercial real estate investment management activities with a particular focus on the affordable housing sector through low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) syndication, provides housing market research, and delivers real estate-related investment banking and advisory services.

Through its Agency lending products, the Company originates and sells loans pursuant to the programs of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac” and, together with Fannie Mae, the “GSEs”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), and the Federal Housing Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (together with Ginnie Mae, “HUD”). Through its debt brokerage products, the Company brokers, and in some cases services, loans for various life insurance companies, commercial banks, commercial mortgage-backed securities issuers, and other institutional investors.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Subsequent Events—The Company has evaluated the effects of all events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024 and before the date of this filing. The Company has made certain disclosures in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024. There have been no other material subsequent events that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, including the allowance for risk-sharing obligations, initial and recurring fair value assessments of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, the initial fair value assessment of  goodwill, the periodic assessment of impairment of goodwill, initial fair value estimate of other intangible assets, and the initial and recurring fair value assessments of contingent consideration liabilities. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses—The Company records the income statement impact of the changes in the allowance for loan losses, the allowance for risk-sharing obligations, and other credit losses within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. NOTE 4 contains additional discussion related to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations. The Company has credit risk exclusively on loans secured by multifamily real estate, with no exposure to any other sector of commercial real estate, including office, retail, industrial and hospitality.

Agency Loan Repurchases—The Company is obligated to repurchase loans that are originated for the GSEs or HUD (collectively, the “Agencies”) programs if certain representations and warranties that it provides in connection with the sale of the loans through these programs are or may have been breached. When the Company repurchases a loan from the Agencies, the loan is included as a component of Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and any related credit loss is included within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Fannie Mae—During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased a $17.9 million Fannie Mae loan, which consisted of a $4.4 million advance previously made to Fannie Mae in 2023 and a $13.5 million cash payment during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an immaterial allowance for credit loss related to this loan, as the Company expects to liquidate the underlying collateral for approximately the Company’s cost basis in the loan.

Freddie Mac—The Company received repurchase requests from Freddie Mac related to two loans with unpaid principal balances (“UPB”) of $11.4 million and $34.8 million. In March 2024, the Company entered into a forbearance and indemnification agreement with Freddie Mac that among other things delayed the repurchase of these loans for six and 12 months, respectively, and transferred the risk of loss for both loans from Freddie Mac to the Company. The fair value of the indemnification related to the $11.4 million loan is de minimis due to the excess of fair value of the underlying collateral compared to the carrying value of the loan. With respect to the $34.8 million loan, as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s best estimate of the fair value of the indemnification was $4.6 million, which is included within Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding amount included in Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Loans Held for Investment (“LHFI”), net—LHFI consist predominately of multifamily interim loans originated by the Company for properties that currently do not qualify for permanent Agency financing (“Interim Loan Program” or “ILP”). These loans have terms of up to three years and are all adjustable-rate, interest-only, multifamily loans with similar risk characteristics and no geographic concentration. The Company also has an immaterial amount of LHFI associated with repurchased loans as discussed above. The loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for net unamortized loan fees and costs, and net of any allowance for loan losses. LHFI are included as a component of Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the Interim Loan Program portfolio consisted of a small number of loans with a balance of $25.9 million and $40.1 million, respectively, including an immaterial amount of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and allowance for loan losses. There were no ILP loans delinquent and in non-accrual status as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The amortized cost basis of loans that were current was $25.9 million and $40.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, all ILP loans were originated in 2019.

Statement of Cash Flows—For presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers pledged cash and cash equivalents (as detailed in NOTE 9) to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The following table presents a reconciliation of the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the related captions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Income Taxes—The Company records the realizable excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation as a reduction to income tax expense. The realizable excess tax benefits were a $0.4 million benefit and a $0.1 million shortfall for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and benefits of $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net Warehouse Interest Income (Expense)—The Company presents warehouse interest income net of warehouse interest expense. Warehouse interest income is the interest earned from loans held for sale and loans held for investment. Generally, a substantial portion of the Company’s loans is financed with matched borrowings under one of its warehouse facilities. The remaining portion of loans not funded with matched borrowings is financed with the Company’s own cash. Occasionally, the Company also fully funds a small number of loans held for sale or loans held for investment with its own cash. Warehouse interest expense is incurred on borrowings used to fund loans solely while they are held for sale or for investment. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for sale after a loan is closed and before a loan is sold. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for investment after a loan is closed and before a loan is repaid. Included in Net warehouse interest income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are the following components:

Co-broker Fees—Third-party co-broker fees are netted against Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and were $2.0 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $4.6 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Contracts with Customers—A majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from the following sources, all of which are excluded from the accounting provisions applicable to contracts with customers: (i) financial instruments, (ii) transfers and servicing, (iii) derivative transactions, and (iv) investments in debt securities/equity-method investments. The remaining portion of revenues is derived from contracts with customers.

Other than LIHTC asset management fees as described in the 2023 Form 10-K and presented as Investment management fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, the Company’s contracts with customers generally do not require significant judgment or material estimates that affect the determination of the transaction price (including the assessment of variable consideration), the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations, and the determination of the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations. Additionally, the earnings process for the majority of the Company’s contracts with customers is not complicated and is generally completed in a short period of time. The following table presents information about the Company’s contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Litigation—In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be party to various claims and litigation, none of which the Company believes is material. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties, and other costs, and the Company’s reputation and business may be impacted. The Company believes that any liability that could be imposed on the Company in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.

Recently Adopted and Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements—The Company is currently evaluating Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures and 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The

10

annual disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 are effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. The interim disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 are effective in 2025. The disclosures for ASU 2023-09 are effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company believes these ASUs will not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. There were no other recently announced but not yet effective accounting pronouncements issued that have the potential to impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not adopt any new accounting policies during the second quarter of 2024.

Reclassifications—The Company has made immaterial reclassifications to prior-year balances to conform to current-year presentation.

NOTE 3—MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) was $1.4 billion as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company uses a discounted static cash flow valuation approach, and the key economic assumption is the discount rate. For example, see the following sensitivities related to the discount rate:

The impact of a 100-basis point increase in the discount rate at June 30, 2024 would be a decrease in the fair value of $42.7 million to the MSRs outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

The impact of a 200-basis point increase in the discount rate at June 30, 2024 would be a decrease in the fair value of $82.5 million to the MSRs outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. These estimates do not include interplay among assumptions and are estimated as a portfolio rather than individual assets.

Activity related to MSRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 follows:

NOTE 4—ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS

When a loan is sold under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) program, the Company typically agrees to guarantee a portion of the ultimate loss incurred on the loan should the borrower fail to perform. The compensation for this risk is a component of the servicing fee on the loan. The guaranty is in force while the loan is outstanding. The Company does not provide a guaranty for any other loan product it sells or brokers. Substantially all loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program contain modified or full-risk sharing guaranties that are based on the credit performance of the loan. The Company records an estimate of the contingent loss reserve for Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) for all loans in its Fannie Mae at-risk servicing portfolio and also records collateral-based reserves as necessary and presents this combined loss reserve as Allowance for risk-sharing obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Activity related to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 follows:

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended

The Company assesses several qualitative and quantitative factors to calculate the CECL allowance each quarter including the current and expected unemployment rate, macroeconomic conditions, and the multifamily market. The key inputs for the CECL allowance are the historic loss rate, the forecast-period loss rate, the reversion-period loss rate, and the UPB of the at-risk servicing portfolio. A summary of the key inputs of the CECL allowance as of the end of each of the quarters presented and the provision (benefit) impact during each quarter for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 follows.

Provision (benefit) for risk-sharing obligations (in millions)	$	(10.9)	$	(0.7)	$	(11.6)

During the first quarters of both 2024 and 2023, the Company updated its 10-year look-back period, resulting in loss data from the earliest year being replaced with the loss data for the most recently completed year. The look-back period updates resulted in the historical loss rate factors decreasing and the benefit for risk-sharing obligations, as noted in the table above. The Company also slightly increased its forecast-period and reversion-period loss rates during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to incorporate uncertain macroeconomic conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the ratio of the forecast-period loss rate to the historical loss rate increased, resulting in a much lower benefit for risk-sharing obligations.

During the second quarters of both 2024 and 2023, the activity in the risk-sharing obligations shown above was primarily the result of updated collateral-based reserves.

The weighted average remaining life of the at-risk Fannie Mae servicing portfolio as of June 30, 2024 was 6.0 years compared to 6.4 years as of December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had five loans with aggregate collateral-based reserves of $5.6 million compared to three loans with an aggregate collateral-based reserve of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability associated with the Company’s guaranties for the at-risk loans serviced under the Fannie Mae DUS agreement was $12.2 billion and $11.3 billion, respectively. This maximum quantifiable contingent liability relates to the at-risk loans serviced for Fannie Mae at the specific point in time indicated. The maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss the Company would incur. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans it services for Fannie Mae, for which the Company retains some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans were determined to be without value at the time of settlement.

NOTE 5—SERVICING

The total unpaid principal balance of loans the Company was servicing for various institutional investors was $132.8 billion as of June 30, 2024 compared to $130.5 billion as of December 31, 2023.

As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, custodial deposit accounts (“escrow deposits”) relating to loans serviced by the Company totaled $2.7 billion. These amounts are not included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as such amounts are not Company assets; however, the Company is entitled to placement fees on these escrow deposits, presented within Placement fees and other interest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain cash deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits; however, the Company believes it has mitigated this risk by holding uninsured deposits at large national banks.

NOTE 6—DEBT

Warehouse Facilities

As of June 30, 2024, to provide financing to borrowers under the Agencies’ programs, the Company had committed and uncommitted warehouse lines of credit in the amount of $3.8 billion with certain national banks and a $1.5 billion uncommitted facility with Fannie Mae (collectively, the “Agency Warehouse Facilities”). In support of these Agency Warehouse Facilities, the Company has pledged substantially

13

all of its loans held for sale under the Company’s approved programs. The Company’s ability to originate mortgage loans for sale depends upon its ability to secure and maintain these types of short-term financings on acceptable terms.

Additionally, the Company has arranged for warehouse lines of credit with certain national banks to assist in funding loans held for investment under the Interim Loan Program (“Interim Warehouse Facilities”). The Company has pledged the majority of its loans held for investment against these Interim Warehouse Facilities. The Company’s ability to originate and hold loans held for investment depends upon market conditions and its ability to secure and maintain these types of short-term financings on acceptable terms. As of June 30, 2024, the Interim Warehouse Facilities had $119.8 million of total facility capacity with an outstanding balance of $11.7 million. The interest rate on the Interim Warehouse Facilities ranged from SOFR (defined below) plus 250 to 311 basis points.

The interest rate for all our warehouse facilities and debt is based on an Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).  The maximum amount and outstanding borrowings under Agency Warehouse Facilities as of June 30, 2024 follows:

	June 30, 2024
(in thousands)	Committed		Uncommitted		Total Facility		Outstanding
Facility	Amount		Amount		Capacity		Balance		Interest rate(1)

(1) Interest rate presented does not include the effect of any applicable interest rate floors.

During 2024, the following amendments to the Company’s Agency Warehouse Facilities were executed in the normal course of business to support the Company’s business. No other material modifications have been made to the other Agency Warehouse Facilities during the year.

The maturity date of Agency Warehouse Facility #2 was extended to April 11, 2025.

The committed borrowing capacity of Agency Warehouse Facility #3 was decreased from $600.0 million to $425.0 million, and the uncommitted borrowing capacity was increased from $265.0 million to $425.0 million. The maturity date was also extended to May 15, 2025, and the interest rate was decreased from SOFR plus 135 basis points to SOFR plus 130 basis points.

The committed borrowing capacity of Agency Warehouse Facility #4 was decreased from $200.0 million to $150.0 million. The maturity date was also extended to June 22, 2025.

Note Payable

The Company has a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $600.0 million term loan. Additionally, in January 2023 the Company entered into a lender joinder agreement and amendment to the Credit Agreement that provided for additional borrowing with a principal amount of $200.0 million, modified the ratio thresholds related to mandatory prepayments, and included a provision that allows additional types of indebtedness.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into another amendment, that, among other things, decreased the interest rate of the additional borrowing with an outstanding balance of $198.0 million from Adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.00% to Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.25%, made a small update to the quarterly principal payment, and made other immaterial changes.

As of June 30, 2024, the $600.0 million term loan and additional borrowings of $198.0 million (together known as “Term Debt”) had an outstanding principal balance of $782.5 million. The Term Debt matures on December 16, 2028.

14

The warehouse notes payable and notes payable are subject to various financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all of these financial covenants as of June 30, 2024.

The contingent consideration liabilities presented in the table above relate to (i) acquisitions of debt brokerage and investment sales brokerage companies and (ii) other acquisitions completed over the past several years. The contingent consideration for each of the acquisitions may be earned over various lengths of time after each acquisition, with a maximum earnout period of five years, provided certain revenue targets and other metrics have been met. The last of the earnout periods related to the contingent consideration ends in the third quarter of 2027. In each case, the Company estimated the initial fair value of the contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation.

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach to measure assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

● Level 1—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

16

● Level 2—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, market data by correlation or other means.

● Level 3—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall valuation.

The Company's MSRs are measured at fair value at inception, and thereafter on a nonrecurring basis, and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. That is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value measurement when there is evidence of impairment and for disclosure purposes (NOTE 3). The Company's MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of multifamily MSRs do occur on occasion, precise terms and conditions vary with each transaction and are not readily available. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the Company’s MSRs was developed using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model considers contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, estimated placement fee revenue from escrow deposits, and other economic factors. The Company periodically reassesses and adjusts, when necessary, the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model to reflect observable market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing MSR assets.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

● Derivative Instruments—The derivative positions consist of interest rate lock commitments with borrowers and forward sale agreements to the Agencies. The fair value of these instruments is estimated using a discounted cash flow model developed based on changes in the applicable U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data. The value was determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company, and is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

● Loans Held for Sale—All loans held for sale presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reported at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of the loans held for sale using discounted cash flow models that incorporate quoted observable inputs from market participants, such as changes in the U.S. Treasury rate. Therefore, the Company classifies these loans held for sale as Level 2.

● Pledged Securities—Investments in money market funds are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. Therefore, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 1. The Company determines the fair value of its AFS Agency MBS using third-party broker estimates of fair value. Consequently, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 2. Additional details on Pledged Securities are included in NOTE 9.

● Contingent Consideration Liabilities—Contingent consideration liabilities from acquisitions are initially recognized at fair value at acquisition and subsequently remeasured using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses updated management forecasts and current valuation assumptions and discount rates. The Company determines the fair value of each contingent consideration liability based on probability of achievement, which incorporates management estimates. As a result, the Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3. Additional details on Contingent consideration liabilities are included in NOTE 7.

The following methods and assumptions were used for recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash—The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (Level 1).

Pledged Securities—Consist of cash, highly liquid investments in money market accounts invested in government securities, and investments in Agency debt securities. The investments of the money market funds typically have maturities of 90 days or less and are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. The fair value of the Agency debt securities incorporates the third-party broker estimates of fair value.

Loans Held for Sale—Consist of originated loans that are generally transferred or sold within 60 days from the date that a mortgage loan is funded and are valued using discounted cash flow models that incorporate observable prices from market participants.

19

Contingent Consideration Liabilities—Consists of the estimated fair values of expected future earnout payments related to acquisitions completed primarily in 2021 and 2022. The earnout liabilities are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities incorporates unobservable inputs, such as the probability of earnout achievement, volatility rates, and discount rate, to determine the expected earnout cash flows. The probability of the earnout achievement is based on management’s estimate of the expected future performance and other financial metrics of each of the acquired entities, which are subject to significant uncertainty.

Derivative Instruments—Consists of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale agreements. These instruments are valued using discounted cash flow models developed based on changes in the U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data. The value is determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Loans Held for Sale—In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual commitments to originate and sell multifamily mortgage loans at fixed prices with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers "lock-in" a specified interest rate within time frames established by the Company. All mortgagors are evaluated for creditworthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the "lock-in" of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor.

To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into a sale commitment with the investor simultaneously with the rate lock commitment with the borrower. The sale contract with the investor locks in an interest rate and price for the sale of the loan. The terms of the contract with the investor and the rate lock with the borrower are matched in substantially all respects, with the objective of eliminating interest rate risk to the extent practical. Sale commitments with the investors have an expiration date that is longer than our related commitments to the borrower to allow for, among other things, the closing of the loan and processing of paperwork to deliver the loan into the sale commitment.

Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to buyers are undesignated derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the Company's rate lock commitments to borrowers and loans held for sale and the related input levels includes, as applicable:

● the estimated gain of the expected loan sale to the investor (Level 2);

● the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan, net of any guaranty obligations retained (Level 2);

● the effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date (Level 2); and

● the nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company (Level 3; derivative instruments only).

The estimated gain considers the origination fees the Company expects to collect upon loan closing (derivative instruments only) and premiums the Company expects to receive upon sale of the loan (Level 2). The fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan is calculated pursuant to the valuation techniques applicable to the fair value of future servicing, net at loan sale (Level 2).

To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company uses applicable published U.S. Treasury prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount (Level 2).

The fair value of the Company's forward sales contracts to investors considers the effects of interest rate movements between the trade date and the balance sheet date (Level 2). The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate lock commitments and forward sales contracts is adjusted to reflect the risk that the agreement will not be fulfilled. The Company’s exposure to nonperformance in interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Given the credit quality of our counterparties and the short duration of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts, the risk of nonperformance by the Company’s counterparties has historically been minimal (Level 3).

NOTE 9—FANNIE MAE COMMITMENTS AND PLEDGED SECURITIES

Fannie Mae DUS Related Commitments—Commitments for the origination and subsequent sale and delivery of loans to Fannie Mae represent those mortgage loan transactions where the borrower has locked an interest rate and scheduled closing, and the Company has entered into a mandatory delivery commitment to sell the loan to Fannie Mae. As discussed in NOTE 8, the Company accounts for these commitments as derivatives recorded at fair value.

The Company is generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program. The Company is required to secure these obligations by assigning restricted cash balances and securities to Fannie Mae, which are classified as Pledged securities, at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of collateral required by Fannie Mae is a formulaic calculation at the loan level and considers the balance of the loan, the risk level of the loan, the age of the loan, and the level of risk-sharing. Fannie Mae requires restricted liquidity for Tier 2 loans of 75 basis points, which is funded over a 48-month period that begins upon delivery of the loan to Fannie Mae. Pledged securities held in the form of money market funds holding U.S. Treasuries are discounted 5%, and Agency mortgage-backed securities (“Agency MBS”) are discounted 4% for purposes of calculating compliance with the restricted liquidity requirements. As seen below, the Company held the majority of its pledged securities in Agency MBS as of June 30, 2024. The majority of the loans for which the Company has risk sharing are Tier 2 loans.

The Company is in compliance with the June 30, 2024 collateral requirements as outlined above. As of June 30, 2024, reserve requirements for the DUS loan portfolio will require the Company to fund $70.4 million in additional restricted liquidity over the next 48 months, assuming no further principal paydowns, prepayments, or defaults within the at-risk portfolio. Fannie Mae has reassessed the DUS Capital Standards in the past and may make changes to these standards in the future. The Company generates sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet these capital standards and does not expect any future changes to have a material impact on its future operations; however, any future increases to collateral requirements may adversely impact the Company’s available cash.

Fannie Mae has established benchmark standards for capital adequacy and reserves the right to terminate the Company's servicing authority for all or some of the portfolio if, at any time, it determines that the Company's financial condition is not adequate to support its obligations under the DUS agreement. The Company is required to maintain acceptable net worth, as defined in the agreement, and the Company satisfied the requirements as of June 30, 2024. The net worth requirement is derived primarily from unpaid principal balances on Fannie Mae loans and the level of risk sharing. As of June 30, 2024, the net worth requirement was $313.5 million, and the Company's net worth, as defined in the requirements, was $980.0 million, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was required to maintain at least $62.4 million of liquid assets to meet operational liquidity requirements for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, and Ginnie Mae, and the Company had operational liquidity, as defined in the requirements, of $183.1 million as of June 30, 2024, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC.

The information in the preceding table is presented to reconcile beginning and ending cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as more fully discussed in NOTE 2.

The Company’s investments included within Pledged securities, at fair value consist primarily of money market funds and Agency debt securities. The investments in Agency debt securities consist of multifamily Agency MBS and are all accounted for as AFS securities. A detailed discussion of the Company’s accounting policies regarding the allowance for credit losses for AFS securities is included in NOTE 2 of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. The following table provides additional information related to the Agency MBS as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

NOTE 10—EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated under the two-class method. The two-class method allocates all earnings (distributed and undistributed) to each class of common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company grants share-based awards to various employees and nonemployee directors under the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by stockholders on May 2, 2024 and constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, that entitle recipients to receive nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. These unvested awards meet the definition of participating securities.

22

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 under the two-class method. Participating securities were included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the two-class method, as this computation was more dilutive than the treasury-stock method.

The assumed proceeds used for calculating the dilutive impact of restricted stock awards under the treasury-stock method includes the unrecognized compensation costs associated with the awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 127 thousand average restricted shares and 128 thousand average restricted shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury-stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 456 thousand average restricted shares and 442 thousand average restricted shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation. These average restricted shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury method because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (the exercise price of the options, or the grant date market price of the restricted shares was greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares of common stock during the periods presented).

In February 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that permits the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company’s common stock over a 12-month period beginning on February 23, 2024. During the first six months of 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $75.0 million of authorized share repurchase capacity remaining under the 2024 share repurchase program.

During each of the first and second quarters of 2024, the Company paid a dividend of $0.65 per share. On August 7, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.65 per share for the third quarter of 2024. The dividend will be paid on September 6, 2024 to all holders of record of the Company’s restricted and unrestricted common stock as of August 22, 2024.

The Company awarded $4.4 million and $3.0 million of stock to settle compensation liabilities, a non-cash transaction, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s note payable contains direct restrictions on the amount of dividends the Company may pay, and the warehouse debt facilities and agreements with the Agencies contain minimum equity, liquidity, and other capital requirements that indirectly restrict the amount of dividends the Company may pay. The Company does not believe that these restrictions currently limit the amount of dividends the Company can pay for the foreseeable future.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company purchased a noncontrolling interest for cash consideration of $7.0 million, of which $4.0 million was paid at the time of closing, with an additional $1.0 million to be paid in each of the next three quarters. The purchase of the noncontrolling interest resulted in a reduction to APIC of $25.7 million (a non-cash transaction) for the excess of the purchase price over the noncontrolling interest balance.

NOTE 11—SEGMENTS

The Company’s executive leadership team, which functions as the Company’s chief operating decision making body, makes decisions and assesses performance based on the following three reportable segments. The reportable segments are determined based on the product or service provided and reflect the manner in which management is currently evaluating the Company’s financial information.  

(i) Capital Markets (“CM”)—CM provides a comprehensive range of commercial real estate finance products to its customers, including Agency lending, debt brokerage, property sales, and appraisal and valuation services. The Company’s long-established relationships with the Agencies and institutional investors enable CM to offer a broad range of loan products and services to the Company’s customers, including first mortgage, second trust, supplemental, construction, mezzanine, preferred equity, and small-balance loans. CM provides property sales services to owners and developers of multifamily properties and commercial real estate and multifamily property appraisals for various investors. CM also provides real estate-related investment banking and advisory services, including housing market research.

As part of Agency lending, CM temporarily funds the loans it originates (loans held for sale) before selling them to the Agencies and earns net interest income on the spread between the interest income on the loans and the warehouse interest expense. For Agency loans, CM recognizes the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, which represents the right to receive future servicing fees. CM also earns fees for origination of loans for both Agency lending and debt brokerage, fees for property sales, appraisals, and investment banking and advisory services, and subscription revenue for its housing market research. Direct internal, including compensation, and external costs that are specific to CM are included within the results of this reportable segment.

(ii) Servicing & Asset Management (“SAM”)—SAM’s activities include: (i) servicing and asset-managing the portfolio of loans the Company (a) originates and sells to the Agencies, (b) brokers to certain life insurance companies, and (c) originates through its principal lending and investing activities, (ii) managing third-party capital invested in commercial real estate assets through senior secured debt or limited partnership equity instruments; e.g., preferred equity, mezzanine debt, etc. either through funds or direct investments, and (iii) managing third-party capital invested in tax credit equity funds focused on the LIHTC sector and other commercial real estate.

SAM earns revenue mainly through fees for servicing and asset-managing the loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio and asset management fees for managing third-party capital. Direct internal, including compensation, and external costs that are specific to SAM are included within the results of this reportable segment.

(iii) Corporate—The Corporate segment consists primarily of the Company’s treasury operations and other corporate-level activities. The Company’s treasury activities include monitoring and managing liquidity and funding requirements, including corporate debt. Other corporate-level activities include equity-method investments, accounting, information technology, legal, human resources, marketing, internal audit, and various other corporate groups (“support functions”). The Company does not allocate costs from these support functions to the CM or SAM segments in presenting segment operating results. The Company does allocate interest expense and income tax expense. Corporate debt and the related interest expense are allocated first based on specific acquisitions where debt was directly used to fund the acquisition, such as the acquisition of Alliant, and then based on the remaining segment assets. Income tax expense is allocated proportionally based on income from operations at each segment, except for significant, one-time tax activities, which are allocated entirely to the segment impacted by the tax activity.

The following tables provide a summary and reconciliation of each segment’s results of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

NOTE 12—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company provides alternative investment management services through the syndication of tax credit funds and development of affordable housing projects. To facilitate the syndication and development of affordable housing projects, the Company is involved with the acquisition and/or formation of limited partnerships and joint ventures with investors, property developers, and property managers that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

A detailed discussion of the Company’s accounting policies regarding the consolidation of VIEs and significant transactions involving VIEs is included in NOTE 2 and NOTE 17 of the 2023 Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets and liabilities of the consolidated tax credit funds were immaterial. The table below presents the assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated joint venture development VIEs included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”). The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in those forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 “2023 Form 10-K”).

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Walker & Dunlop, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Walker & Dunlop,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, or intentions.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed or contemplated in any forward-looking statement. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking:

● the future of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac,” and together with Fannie Mae, the “GSEs”), including their existence, relationship to the U.S. federal government, origination capacities, and their impact on our business;

● changes to and trends in the interest rate environment and its impact on our business;

● our growth strategy;

● our projected financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations;

● our ability to obtain and maintain warehouse and other loan funding arrangements;

● our ability to make future dividend payments or repurchase shares of our common stock;

● availability of and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and our ability to develop and retain relationships with borrowers, key principals, and lenders;

● degree and nature of our competition;

● changes in governmental regulations, policies, and programs, tax laws and rates, and similar matters, and the impact of such regulations, policies, and actions;

● our ability to comply with the laws, rules, and regulations applicable to us, including additional regulatory requirements for broker-dealer and other financial services firms;

● trends in the commercial real estate finance market, commercial real estate values, the credit and capital markets, or the general economy, including demand for multifamily housing and rent growth;

● general volatility of the capital markets and the market price of our common stock; and

● other risks and uncertainties associated with our business described in our 2023 Form 10-K and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith projections, assumptions, and expectations, they are not guarantees of future results. Furthermore, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by applicable law. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in any forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors.”

Business

Overview

We are a leading commercial real estate (i) services, (ii) finance, and (iii) technology company in the United States. Through investments in people, brand, and technology, we have built a diversified suite of commercial real estate services to meet the needs of our customers. Our services include (i) multifamily lending, property sales, appraisal, valuation, and research, (ii) commercial real estate debt brokerage and advisory services, (iii) investment management, and (iv) affordable housing lending, property sales, tax credit syndication, development, and investment. We leverage our technological resources and investments to (i) provide an enhanced experience for our customers, (ii) identify refinancing and other financial and investment opportunities for new and existing customers, and (iii) drive efficiencies in our internal processes. We believe our people, brand, and technology provide us with a competitive advantage, as evidenced by 78% of refinancing volumes coming from new loans to us and 20% of total transaction volumes coming from new customers for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

We are one of the largest service providers to multifamily operators in the country. We originate, sell, and service a range of multifamily and other commercial real estate financing products, including loans through the programs of the GSEs, and the Federal Housing Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (together with Ginnie Mae, “HUD”) (collectively, the “Agencies”). We retain servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all loans that we originate for the Agencies’ programs. We broker, and occasionally service, loans to commercial real estate operators for many life insurance companies, commercial banks, and other institutional investors, in which cases we do not fund the loan but rather act as a loan broker.

We provide multifamily property sales brokerage and appraisal and valuation services and engage in commercial real estate investment management activities, including a focus on the affordable housing sector through low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) syndication. We engage in the development and preservation of affordable housing projects through joint ventures with real estate developers and the management of funds focused on affordable housing. We provide housing market research and real estate-related investment banking and advisory services, which provide our clients and us with market insight into many areas of the housing market. Our clients are owners and developers of multifamily properties and other commercial real estate assets across the country. We also underwrite, service, and asset-manage shorter-term loans on transitional commercial real estate. Most of these shorter-term interim loans are closed through a joint venture or through separate accounts managed by our investment management subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop Investment Partners, Inc. (“WDIP”). In the past, some of these interim loans were closed and retained by us through our Interim Loan Program (as defined below in Investment Management and Principal Lending and Investing). We are a leader in commercial real estate technology, developing and acquiring technology resources that (i) provide innovative solutions and a better experience for our customers, (ii) allow us to drive efficiencies across our internal processes, and (iii) allow us to accelerate growth of our small-balance lending business and our appraisal platform, Apprise.

Walker & Dunlop, Inc. is a holding company. We conduct the majority of our operations through Walker & Dunlop, LLC, our operating company.

Segments

Our executive leadership team, which functions as our chief operating decision making body, makes decisions and assesses performance based on the following three reportable segments: (i) Capital Markets, (ii) Servicing & Asset Management, and (iii) Corporate. The reportable segments are determined based on the product or service provided and reflect the manner in which management is currently evaluating the Company’s financial information. The segments and related services are described in the following paragraphs.

Capital Markets (“CM”)

CM provides a comprehensive range of commercial real estate finance products to our customers, including Agency lending, debt brokerage, property sales, appraisal and valuation services, and real estate related investment banking and advisory services, including housing market research. Our long-established relationships with the Agencies and institutional investors enable us to offer a broad range of loan products and services to our customers. We provide property sales services to owners and developers of multifamily properties and commercial real estate and multifamily property appraisals for various investors. Additionally, we earn subscription fees for our housing related research. The primary services within CM are described below.

31

Agency Lending

We are one of the leading lenders with the Agencies, where we originate and sell multifamily, manufactured housing communities, student housing, affordable housing, seniors housing, and small-balance multifamily loans. For additional information on our Agency lending services, refer to Item 1. Business in our 2023 Form 10-K.

We recognize Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net and the Fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net from our lending with the Agencies when we commit to both originate a loan with a borrower and sell that loan to an investor. The loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net and the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net for these transactions reflect the fair value attributable to loan origination fees, premiums on the sale of loans, net of any co-broker fees, and the fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loans, net of any guaranty obligations retained.

We generally fund our Agency loan products through warehouse facility financing and sell them to investors in accordance with the related loan sale commitment, which we obtain concurrent with rate lock. Proceeds from the sale of the loan are used to pay off the warehouse facility borrowing. The sale of the loan is typically completed within 60 days after the loan is closed. We earn net warehouse interest income or expense from loans held for sale while they are outstanding equal to the difference between the note rate on the loan and the cost of borrowing of the warehouse facility. Our cost of borrowing can exceed the note rate on the loan, resulting in a net interest expense.

Our loan commitments and loans held for sale are currently not exposed to unhedged interest rate risk during the loan commitment, closing, and delivery process. The sale or placement of each loan to an investor is negotiated at the same time we establish the coupon rate for the loan. We also seek to mitigate the risk of a loan not closing by collecting good faith deposits from the borrower. The deposit is returned to the borrower only after the loan is closed. Any potential loss from a catastrophic change in the property condition while the loan is held for sale using warehouse facility financing is mitigated through property insurance equal to replacement cost. We are also protected contractually from an investor’s failure to purchase the loan. We have experienced an immaterial number of failed deliveries in our history and have incurred immaterial losses on such failed deliveries.

As part of our overall growth strategy, we are focused on significantly growing and investing in our small-balance multifamily lending platform, which involves a high volume of transactions with smaller loan balances. We have supported our small-balance lending platform with acquisitions in the past that have provided data analytics and further advanced our technology development capabilities in this area.

Debt Brokerage

Our mortgage bankers who focus on debt brokerage are engaged by borrowers to work with a variety of institutional lenders, banks, and various other institutional lenders to find the most appropriate debt and/or equity solution for the borrowers’ needs. These financing solutions are then funded directly by the lender, and we receive an origination fee for our services. On occasion, we service the loans after they are originated by the lender.

Property Sales

Through our subsidiary Walker & Dunlop Investment Sales (“WDIS”), we offer property sales brokerage services to owners and developers of multifamily properties that are seeking to sell these properties. Through these property sales brokerage services, we seek to maximize proceeds and certainty of closure for our clients using our knowledge of the commercial real estate and capital markets and relying on our experienced transaction professionals. We receive a sales commission for brokering the sale of these multifamily assets on behalf of our clients, and we often are able to provide financing for the purchaser of the properties through our Agency or debt brokerage teams. We have increased the number of property sales brokers and the geographical reach of our investment sales platform over the past several years through hiring and acquisitions and intend to continue this expansion in support of our growth strategy, geographical reach, and service offerings. Our geographical reach now covers many major markets in the United States, and our service offerings now include sales of land, student, senior housing, and affordable properties.

Housing Market Research and Real Estate Investment Banking Services

We own a 75% interest in a subsidiary doing business as Zelman & Associates (“Zelman”). Zelman is a nationally recognized housing market research and investment banking firm that enhances the information we provide to our clients and increase our access to high-quality market insights in many areas of the housing market, including construction trends, demographics, housing demand and mortgage finance.

32

Zelman generates revenues through the sale of its housing market research data and related publications to banks, investment banks and other financial institutions. Zelman is also a leading independent investment bank providing comprehensive M&A advisory services and capital markets solutions to our clients within the housing and commercial real estate sectors. As part of our growth strategy, we have increased the number of investment bankers to broaden our reach and expertise within the residential housing, building products, multifamily and commercial real estate sectors.

Appraisal and Valuation Services

We offer multifamily appraisal and valuation services though our subsidiary, Apprise by Walker & Dunlop (“Apprise”). Apprise leverages technology and data science to dramatically improve the consistency, transparency, and speed of multifamily property appraisals in the U.S. through our proprietary technology and provides appraisal services to a client list that includes many national commercial real estate lenders. Apprise also provides quarterly and annual valuation services to some of the largest institutional commercial real estate investors in the country. We have increased the number of valuation specialists and the geographical reach of our appraisal platform over the past several years through hiring and recruiting in support of our long-term growth strategy. The growth strategy has resulted in an increase in our market share of the appraisal market over the past several years. Additionally, these valuation specialists provide support for and insight to our Agency lending and property sales professionals.

Servicing & Asset Management (“SAM”)

SAM focuses on servicing and asset-managing the portfolio of loans we originate and sell to the Agencies, broker to certain life insurance companies, and originate through our principal lending and investing activities, and managing third-party capital invested in tax credit equity funds focused on the affordable housing sector and other commercial real estate. We earn servicing fees for overseeing the loans in our servicing portfolio and asset management fees for the capital invested in our funds. Additionally, we earn revenue through net interest income on the loans and the warehouse interest expense for loans held for investment. The primary services within SAM are described below. For additional information on our SAM services, refer to Item 1. Business in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Loan Servicing

We retain servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all of our Agency loan products that we originate and sell and generate cash revenues from the fees we receive for servicing the loans, from the placement fees on escrow deposits held on behalf of borrowers, and from other ancillary fees relating to servicing the loans. Servicing fees, which are based on servicing fee rates set at the time an investor agrees to purchase the loan and on the unpaid principal balance of the loan, are generally paid monthly for the duration of the loan. Our Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac servicing arrangements generally provide for prepayment protection to us in the event of a voluntary prepayment. For loans serviced outside of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, we typically do not have similar prepayment protections. For most loans we service under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) program, we are required to advance the principal and interest payments and guarantee fees for four months should a borrower cease making payments under the terms of their loan, including while that loan is in forbearance. After advancing for four months, we may request reimbursement by Fannie Mae for the principal and interest advances, and Fannie Mae will reimburse us for these advances within 60 days of the request. Under the Ginnie Mae program, we are obligated to advance the principal and interest payments and guarantee fees until the HUD loan is brought current, fully paid or assigned to HUD. We are eligible to assign a loan to HUD once it is in default for 30 days. If the loan is not brought current, or the loan otherwise defaults, we are not reimbursed for our advances until such time as we assign the loan to HUD or work out a payment modification for the borrower. For loans in default, we may repurchase those loans out of the Ginnie Mae security, at which time our advance requirements cease, and we may then modify and resell the loan or assign the loan back to HUD and be reimbursed for our advances. We are not obligated to make advances on the loans we service under the Freddie Mac Optigo® program and our bank and life insurance company servicing agreements.

We have risk-sharing obligations on substantially all loans we originate under the Fannie Mae DUS program. When a Fannie Mae DUS loan is subject to full risk-sharing, we absorb losses on the first 5% of the unpaid principal balance of a loan at the time of loss settlement, and above 5% we share a percentage of the loss with Fannie Mae, with our maximum loss capped at 20% of the original unpaid principal balance of the loan (subject to doubling or tripling if the loan does not meet specific underwriting criteria or if the loan defaults within 12 months of its sale to Fannie Mae). Our full risk-sharing is currently limited to loans up to $300 million, which equates to a maximum loss per loan of $60 million (such exposure would occur in the event that the underlying collateral is determined to be completely without value at the time of loss). For loans in excess of $300 million, we receive modified risk-sharing. We also may request modified risk-sharing at the time of origination on loans below $300 million, which reduces our potential risk-sharing losses from the levels described above if we do not believe that we are being fully compensated for the risks of the transaction. The full risk-sharing limit has varied over time. Accordingly, loans originated in prior periods may have been subject to modified risk-sharing at much lower levels.

33

Our servicing fees for risk-sharing loans include compensation for the risk-sharing obligations and are larger than the servicing fees we would receive from Fannie Mae for loans with no risk-sharing obligations. We receive a lower servicing fee for modified risk-sharing than for full risk-sharing. For brokered loans we also service, we collect ongoing servicing fees while those loans remain in our servicing portfolio. The servicing fees we typically earn on brokered loan transactions are substantially lower than the servicing fees we earn on Agency loans.

Investment Management and Principal Lending and Investing

Investment Management—Through our subsidiary, WDIP, we function as the operator of a private commercial real estate investment adviser focused on the management of debt, preferred equity, and mezzanine equity investments in middle-market commercial real estate funds. WDIP’s current regulatory assets under management (“AUM”) of $1.8 billion primarily consist of six investment vehicles: Fund III, Fund IV, Fund V, Fund VI, Fund VII (collectively, the “Funds”), and separate accounts managed primarily for life insurance companies. AUM for the Funds and for the separate accounts consists of both unfunded commitments and funded investments. Unfunded commitments are highest during the fundraising and investment phases. WDIP receives management fees based on both unfunded commitments and funded investments. Additionally, with respect to the Funds, WDIP receives a percentage of the return above the fund return hurdle rate specified in the fund agreements.

Through a joint venture with an affiliate of Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc., WDIP also offers short-term senior secured debt financing products that provide floating-rate, interest-only loans for terms of generally up to three years to experienced borrowers seeking to acquire or reposition multifamily properties that do not currently qualify for permanent financing (the “Interim Program JV” or the “joint venture”). The joint venture funds its operations using a combination of equity contributions from its owners and third-party credit facilities. We hold a 15% ownership interest in the Interim Program JV and are responsible for sourcing, underwriting, servicing, and asset-managing the loans originated by the joint venture. The Interim Program JV assumes full risk of loss while the loans it originates are outstanding, while we assume risk commensurate with our 15% ownership interest.

Principal Lending and Investing—Using a combination of our own capital and warehouse debt financing, we offer interim loans that do not meet the criteria of the Interim Program JV (the “Interim Loan Program”). We underwrite, service, and asset-manage all loans executed through the Interim Loan Program. We originate and hold these Interim Loan Program loans for investment, which are included on our balance sheet, and during the time that these loans are outstanding, we assume the full risk of loss. We have steadily reduced interim loan originations in order to focus on raising third-party capital solutions to meet market demand and pursue our investment management growth strategy.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, WDIP launched a credit fund focused on transitional lending with a large, institutional insurance company. The credit fund focuses on the same core product as the Interim Loan Program and Interim Program JV, and we expect to further wind down our reliance on the Interim Loan Program and Interim Program JV as a result of launching this credit fund. The Company underwrites, services, and asset manages all loans originated for the credit fund and has a 5% co-investment obligation. WDIP also receives a percentage of the return above the fund return hurdle rate specified in the fund operating agreements.

Affordable Housing Real Estate Services

We provide affordable housing investment management and real estate services through our subsidiaries, collectively known as Walker & Dunlop Affordable Equity programs (“WDAE”). WDAE is one of the largest tax credit syndicators and affordable housing developers in the U.S. and provides alternative investment management services focused on the affordable housing sector through LIHTC syndication, development of affordable housing projects through joint ventures, and affordable housing preservation fund management. Our affordable housing investment management team works with our developer clients to identify properties that will generate LIHTCs and meet our affordable investors’ needs, and forms limited partnership funds (“LIHTC funds”) with third-party investors that invest in the limited partnership interests in these properties. WDAE serves as the general partner of these LIHTC funds, and it receives fees, such as asset management fees, and a portion of refinance and disposition proceeds as compensation for its work as the general partner of the fund. Additionally, WDAE earns a syndication fee from the LIHTC funds for the identification, organization, and acquisition of affordable housing projects that generate LIHTCs.

We invest, as the managing or non-managing member of joint ventures, with developers of affordable housing projects that are partially funded through LIHTCs. When possible, WDAE syndicates the LIHTC investment necessary to build properties through these joint venture partnerships. The joint ventures earn developer fees, and we receive the portion of the economic benefits commensurate with its investment in the joint ventures, including cash flows from operations and sale/refinance. Additionally, WDAE invests with third-party investors (either in a fund or joint-venture structure) with the goal of preserving affordability on multifamily properties coming out of the LIHTC 15-year compliance period or on which market forces are unlikely to keep the properties affordable.

Corporate

The Corporate segment consists primarily of our treasury operations and other corporate-level activities. Our treasury operations include monitoring and managing our liquidity and funding requirements, including our corporate debt. The major other corporate-level functions include our equity-method investments, accounting, information technology, legal, human resources, marketing, internal audit, and various other corporate groups.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates based on certain judgments and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors management believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions and the use of different judgments and assumptions may have a material impact on our results. The following critical accounting estimates involve significant estimation uncertainty that may have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Additional information about our critical accounting estimates and other significant accounting policies are discussed in NOTE 2 of the consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”). MSRs are recorded at fair value at loan sale. The fair value at loan sale is based on estimates of expected net cash flows associated with the servicing rights and takes into consideration an estimate of loan prepayment. Initially, the fair value amount is included as a component of the derivative asset fair value at the loan commitment date. The estimated net cash flows from servicing, which includes assumptions for discount rate, placement fees, prepayment speed, and servicing costs, are discounted at a rate that reflects the credit and liquidity risk of the MSR over the estimated life of the underlying loan. The discount rates used throughout the periods presented for all MSRs were between 8-14% and varied based on the loan type. The life of the underlying loan is estimated giving consideration to the prepayment provisions in the loan and assumptions about loan behaviors around those provisions. Our model for MSRs assumes no prepayment prior to the expiration of the prepayment provisions and full prepayment of the loan at or near the point when the prepayment provisions have expired. The estimated net cash flows also include cash flows related to the future placement fees on deposit accounts associated with servicing the loans that are based on an earnings rate assumption. We include a servicing cost assumption to account for our expected costs to service a loan. The servicing cost assumption has had a de minimis impact on the estimate historically. We record an individual MSR asset for each loan at loan sale.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of capitalized MSRs are developed internally and are periodically compared to assumptions used by other market participants. Due to the relatively few transactions in the multifamily MSR market and the lack of significant changes in assumptions by market participants, we have experienced limited volatility in the assumptions historically, including the assumption that most significantly impacts the estimate: the discount rate. We do not expect to see significant volatility in the assumptions for the foreseeable future. We actively monitor the assumptions used and make adjustments to those assumptions when market conditions change, or other factors indicate such adjustments are warranted. Over the past three years, we have adjusted the placement fee assumption related to escrow deposits several times to reflect the current and expected future earnings rate projected for the life of the MSR. Subsequent to loan origination, the carrying value of the MSR is amortized over the expected life of the loan. We engage a third party on a semi-annual basis, primarily for financial statement disclosure purposes. Changes in our discount rate assumptions may materially impact the fair value of the MSRs (NOTE 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements details the portfolio-level impact of a change in the discount rate).

Allowance for Risk-Sharing Obligations. This reserve liability (referred to as “allowance”) for risk-sharing obligations relates to our Fannie Mae at-risk servicing portfolio and is presented as a separate liability on our balance sheets. We record an estimate of the loss reserve for the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for all loans in our Fannie Mae at-risk servicing portfolio using the weighted-average remaining maturity method (“WARM”). WARM uses an average annual loss rate that contains loss content over multiple vintages and loan terms and is used as a foundation for estimating the CECL reserve. The average annual loss rate is applied to the estimated unpaid principal balance over the contractual term, adjusted for estimated prepayments and amortization to arrive at the CECL reserve for the entire current portfolio as described further below.

35

One of the key components of a WARM calculation is the runoff rate, which is the expected rate at which loans in the current portfolio will amortize and prepay in the future based on our historical prepayment and amortization experience. We group loans by similar origination dates (vintage) and contractual maturity terms for purposes of calculating the runoff rate. We originate loans under the DUS program with various terms generally ranging from several years to 15 years; each of these various loan terms has a different runoff rate. The runoff rates applied to each vintage and contractual maturity term are determined using historical data; however, changes in prepayment and amortization behavior may significantly impact the estimate. We have not experienced significant changes in the runoff rate since we implemented CECL in 2020.

The weighted-average annual loss rate is calculated using a 10-year look-back period, utilizing the average portfolio balance and settled losses for each year. A 10-year period is used as we believe that this period of time includes sufficiently different economic conditions to generate a reasonable estimate of expected results in the future, given the relatively long-term nature of the current portfolio. As the weighted-average annual loss rate utilizes a rolling 10-year look-back period, the loss rate used in the estimate will change as loss data from earlier periods in the look-back period continue to fall off and as new loss data are added. For example, in the first quarter of 2024, loss data from earlier periods in the look-back period with significantly higher losses fell off and were replaced with more recent loss data with significantly lower losses, resulting in the weighted-average annual loss rate declining from 0.6 basis points to 0.3 basis points.

We currently use one year for our reasonable and supportable forecast period (“forecast period”) as we believe forecasts beyond one year are inherently less reliable. During the forecast period we apply an adjusted loss factor based on generally available economic and unemployment forecasts and a blended loss rate from historical periods that we believe reflect the forecasts. We revert to the historical loss rate over a one-year period on a straight-line basis. Over the past couple of years, the loss rate used in the forecast period reflects our expectations of the economic conditions impacting the multifamily sector over the coming year in relation to the historical period. For example, despite our historical loss rate declining from 0.6 basis points as of December 31, 2023 to 0.3 basis points as of March 31, 2024, our forecast-period loss rate remained relatively unchanged from 2.4 basis points as of December 31, 2023, to 2.3 basis points as of March 31, 2024. The forecast loss rate remaining the same reflects our relatively unchanged view of the uncertainty of the evolving macroeconomic conditions facing the multifamily sector.

NOTE 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements outlines adjustments made in the loss rates used to account for the expected economic conditions as of a given period and the related impact on the estimate.

Changes in our expectations and forecasts have materially impacted, and in the future may materially impact, these inputs and the CECL estimate.

We evaluate our risk-sharing loans on a quarterly basis to determine whether there are loans that are probable of foreclosure. Specifically, we assess a loan’s qualitative and quantitative risk factors, such as payment status, property financial performance, local real estate market conditions, loan-to-value ratio, debt-service-coverage ratio, and property condition. When a loan is determined to be probable of foreclosure based on these factors (or has foreclosed), we remove the loan from the WARM calculation and individually assess the loan for potential credit loss. This assessment requires certain judgments and assumptions to be made regarding the property values and other factors, which may differ significantly from actual results. Loss settlement with Fannie Mae has historically concluded within 18 to 36 months after foreclosure. Historically, the initial collateral-based reserves have not varied significantly from the final settlement.

We actively monitor the judgments and assumptions used in our Allowance for Risk-Sharing Obligation estimate and make adjustments to those assumptions when market conditions change, or when other factors indicate such adjustments are warranted. We believe the level of Allowance for Risk-Sharing Obligation is appropriate based on our expectations of future market conditions; however, changes in one or more of the judgments or assumptions used above could have a significant impact on the estimate.

Contingent Consideration Liabilities. The Company often includes an earnout as part of the consideration paid for acquisitions to align the long-term interests of the acquiree with the Company. These earnouts contain milestones for achievement, which typically are revenue, revenue-like, or productivity measurements. If the milestone is achieved, the acquiree is paid the additional consideration. Upon acquisition, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of the earnout and include that fair value measurement as a component of the total consideration paid in the calculation of goodwill. The fair value of the earnout is recorded as a contingent consideration liability and is included within Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and adjusted to the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period.

36

The determination of the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities requires significant management judgment and unobservable inputs to (i) determine forecasts and scenarios of future revenues, net cash flows and certain other performance metrics, (ii) assign a probability of achievement for the forecasts and scenarios, and (iii) select a discount rate. A Monte Carlo simulation analysis is used to determine many iterations of potential fair values. The average of these iterations is then used to determine the estimated fair value. We typically obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists to assist with the fair value estimation. The probability of the earnout achievement is based on management’s estimate of the expected future performance and other financial metrics of each of the acquired entities, which are subject to significant uncertainty. Changes to the aforementioned inputs impact the estimate; for example, in 2023, we recorded a $62.5 million reduction to the fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities based on revised management forecasts, scenarios, and other valuation inputs.

The aggregate fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities as of June 30, 2024 was $89.0 million. This fair value represents management’s best estimate of the discounted cash payments that will be made in the future for all of our contingent consideration arrangements. The maximum remaining undiscounted earnout payments as of June 30, 2024 was $267.0 million. In prior years, we made two large acquisitions that included significant amounts of contingent consideration to maximize alignment of the key principals and management teams.

Goodwill. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we reported goodwill of $901.7 million. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit to which the acquisition relates. Goodwill is recognized as an asset and is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1. Between annual impairment analyses, we perform an evaluation of recoverability, when events and circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. Impairment testing requires an assessment of qualitative factors to determine if there are indicators of potential impairment, followed by, if necessary, an assessment of quantitative factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, whether there has been a significant or adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset and/or significant or adverse changes in cash flow projections or earnings forecasts. These assessments require management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates about projected cash flows, discount rates and other factors.

Overview of Current Business Environment

Throughout 2022 and 2023, inflation significantly outpaced historical norms. In response, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") aggressively increased its target Federal Funds Rate (“Fed Funds”) from near zero in March 2022 to a target range of 5.25% to 5.50% following its July 2023 meeting. The significant increase to Fed Funds during such a short period of time, coupled with high inflation and an uncertain economic outlook, caused significant volatility in the capital markets including, higher interest rates and a decrease in the supply of capital, that continued into the first quarter 2024. The commercial real estate sector relies on a stable cost and supply of capital to operate effectively, and the industry has experienced a significant slowdown in overall transaction activity as a result, a significant driver of our business and overall financial performance. Fed Funds remaining at elevated levels does benefit our placement fee revenue on escrow deposits and cash and cash equivalents, though, and we expect to earn elevated placement fees and other interest income for the remainder of the year on those deposits. Higher short-term interest rates have a negative impact on our business by increasing borrowing costs for both our warehouse lines and corporate debt, offsetting some of the benefit to our placement fee revenue.

During the first half of 2024, the overall economy remains robust, as measured by GDP and jobs data, while the pace of inflation has shown a significant slowdown. In response the FOMC began signaling they may be nearing the end of the highly restrictive monetary policy that has marked the last two years, and rate cuts could be on the horizon for Fed Funds. As that outlook was communicated to the capital markets during the early part of this year, volatility began to subside, interest rates stabilized and the supply of capital began to increase in the second quarter 2024. As a result, our overall transaction activity increased 32% from the first quarter 2024 to the second quarter 2024, and we are beginning to see signs of the market slowly recovering. Despite those signs for optimism, our financial performance in the first half of 2024 was considerably slower than the first half of 2023.

The largest impact of the slower market was in our multifamily property sales business, as overall multifamily acquisitions activity fell to its lowest quarterly level in nearly four years, according to Real Capital Analytics. As a result, our property sales volume in the first half of 2024 declined 21% compared to the first half of 2023. Several of our debt executions were also negatively impacted for the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023, with the largest decreases in our Fannie Mae (33%) and HUD (27%) executions. As the supply of capital from third parties steadily increased so far this year many life insurance companies, banks, and CMBS lenders transacted at a higher level in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year, as evidenced by the 26% increase in our debt brokerage volumes. As a result of higher debt brokerage volumes, our total debt financing volumes during the first half of 2024 increased 2% when compared to the same period last year.  

37

We expect long-term interest rates to remain stable, and for capital and our customers to continue adjusting which will in turn will slowly increase transaction activity in the second half of 2024. The multifamily lending market is forecasted by the Mortgage Bankers Association (“MBA”) to increase to $339 billion in 2024 from $271 billion in 2023, an increase of 25%. Our view is that for the MBA’s forecast to be accurate, interest rates must remain stable, and a large majority of transaction activity will need to close in the second half of the year. This will also benefit our GSE lending executions. Although our GSE lending volumes declined 21%, we expect the GSEs’ lending terms to be more competitive in the latter half of 2024, and for GSE transaction activity to increase throughout the year in a similar manner to 2023.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) establishes loan origination caps for both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac each year. In November 2023, the FHFA established Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s 2024 loan origination caps at $70 billion each for all multifamily business, a 7% decrease from the 2023 caps, but a 38% increase over actual combined 2023 lending volumes for the GSEs. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had multifamily origination volumes of $9.2 billion and $11.0 billion, respectively, down 39% and 14%, from the same period in 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had multifamily origination volumes of $19.4 billion and $20.2 billion, respectively, down 24% and up 6%, from the first half of 2023, respectively, leaving a combined $100.4 billion of available lending capacity for the remainder of 2024.

Despite the higher interest rate environment and declines in commercial real estate lending and property sales, macroeconomic conditions impacting multifamily property fundamentals remained healthy in the second quarter of 2024, with the national unemployment rate remaining low at 4.1% as of June 2024. According to RealPage, a provider of commercial real estate data and analytics, vacancies have stabilized around 5.8% as of June 2024 from 5.8% as of December 2023 and 5.3% as of June 2023. A record number of new multifamily properties were completed in 2023, with the majority of those completions concentrated in sunbelt markets, with an even greater number expected to be completed in 2024. Beyond 2024, multifamily completions are expected to decrease significantly, as new starts stalled in 2023 and throughout this year, largely as a result of the liquidity and macroeconomic challenges already outlined. In the short-term, rent growth is expected to face downward pressure in those highly developed sunbelt markets, while occupancy will face upward pressure as the new supply is absorbed. Despite the headwinds in the sunbelt markets, national rent growth remains flat to slightly positive indicating continued healthy demand for multifamily units nationally.

The increase in completions in 2024 will present an opportunity for our multifamily property sales team, as many merchant builders will look to sell completed assets once stabilized. We continue to compete for market share in a challenging multifamily property sales sector, as customers increasingly look to experienced brokers to maximize value. Long term, we believe the market fundamentals will trend more positive for multifamily properties due to constrained supply resulting from the decline in new construction starts over the past year. Over the last several years, household formation and a dearth of supply of entry-level single-family homes led to strong demand for rental housing in many geographical areas. Consequently, the fundamentals of multifamily assets remain healthy, and we expect that market demand for multifamily assets in the long-term will return, as this asset class remains an attractive investment option.

As noted above, our debt financing operations with HUD declined compared to the first half of 2023. The decline in HUD volumes was due to the ongoing volatile interest-rate environment discussed above, which more acutely impacted our HUD product given the longer lead times associated with HUD executions. As interest rates stabilize, we expect our HUD volume to improve.

We entered into the Interim Program JV to expand our capacity to originate Interim Program loans beyond the use of our own balance sheet. Over the past two years, we reduced our reliance on our balance sheet and the Interim Program JV, and as such shifted our strategy for transitional lending toward our investment management platform and our registered investment adviser, WDIP. Given the increased distress in the transitional lending market, particularly within CLOs, we have been actively raising capital to meet the potential market demand as those loans mature in 2024 and 2025. We launched our first credit fund through WDIP in the fourth quarter of 2023, raising $150 million of capital from a large life insurance company, which we have subsequently levered, allowing WDIP to supply over half a billion dollars to the transitional multifamily lending market. We are continuing to raise additional capital to fuel this strategy. WDIP underwrites, services and asset manages all loans originated for the credit fund, and the Company has only a 5% co-investment obligation.

We provide alternative investment management services focused on the affordable housing sector through LIHTC syndication, joint venture development, and community preservation fund management through our subsidiary, WDAE. We were the eighth largest LIHTC syndicator in 2023. We continue to approach the affordable housing space with a combined LIHTC syndication and affordable housing service offering that we believe will generate significant long-term financing, property sales, and syndication opportunities. Additionally, as part of FHFA’s 2024 loan origination caps of $140 billion announced in November 2023, at least 50% of the GSEs’ multifamily business is required to be targeted towards affordable housing. We expect these initiatives, when coupled with the continued demand for affordable housing to create growth opportunities for both WDAE and our debt financing and property sales teams focused on affordable housing.

Overview

Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to three months ended June 30, 2023

The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by decreases in the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net (“MSR income”), investment management fees, and other revenues, partially offset by increases in servicing fees and placement fees and other interest income. MSR income decreased largely as a result of a 32% decline in Fannie Mae debt financing volume. Investment management fees declined principally due to a decrease in revenue from our Principal Investing funds due to lower asset sales. Other revenues decreased primarily due to lower syndication revenues due to lower equity syndication volume year over year. Servicing fees increased largely from an increase in the average servicing portfolio outstanding. Placement fees and other interest income increased primarily as a result of a higher placement fee rate due to a higher short-term interest rate environment.

The increase in expenses was primarily due to a change in the provision (benefit) for credit losses combined with an increase in other operating expenses. The provision for credit losses in 2024 was primarily attributable to an increase in the estimated fair value of the liability associated with a forbearance and indemnification agreement with Freddie Mac entered into during the first quarter 2024. The benefit for credit losses in 2023 was primarily due to a reduction of collateral based reserves as actual outcomes outperformed our initial estimates. The increase in other operating expenses was largely related to expenses incurred for our all-company meeting for the three months ended June 30, 2024, with no comparable activity during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in income tax expense was primarily by the 22% decrease in income from operations. Additionally, we had a lower estimated annual effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to the timing of executive bonus compensation expense. The deductibility of executive compensation is limited for income tax purposes.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to six months ended June 30, 2023

The decrease in revenues was largely driven by decreases in loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net (“origination fees”), MSR income, investment management fees, and other revenues, partially offset by increases in servicing fees and placement fees and other interest income. Origination fees, debt brokerage fees, net and MSR income decreased largely as a result of a 33% decline in Fannie Mae debt financing volume. Investment management fees decreased largely as a result of a decline in asset management fees from our LIHTC operations due to the interest rate environment. Other revenues declined mostly due to a decrease in investment banking revenues, as we closed the largest investment banking deal in the Company’s history, a $7.5 million transaction, in 2023 with no comparable activity in 2024. Servicing fees increased largely from an increase in the average servicing portfolio outstanding. Placement fees and other interest income increased primarily as a result of a higher placement fee rate due to a higher short-term interest rate environment.

The increase in expenses was primarily due to a significant change in the provision (benefit) for credit losses combined with increases in interest expense on corporate debt and other operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in personnel expense. Provision (benefit) for credit losses switched from a large benefit in 2023 to a provision in 2024. The provision for credit losses in 2024 was primarily attributable to losses related to the forbearance and indemnification agreements with Freddie Mac discussed in NOTE 2, partially offset by a small benefit for risk-sharing obligations resulting from an update to our historical loss rate and forecast-period loss rate. The benefit for credit losses in 2023 was primarily due to the annual update of our historical loss rate and forecast-period loss rates that resulted in a large decrease to the calculated expected credit losses. Interest expense on corporate debt increased due to an increase in the interest rate on the debt as its floating rate is tied to short-term interest rates, which were higher in 2024 than 2023. Other operating expenses increased largely as a result of increased (i) travel and entertainment mostly related to our all-company meeting, with no comparable activity in 2023, (ii) software costs associated with automation efforts, and (iii) miscellaneous expenses. Personnel expense decreased largely due to decreases in commission costs as a result of lower origination fees and property sales broker fees and stock compensation expense as the all-company stock grant fully vested at the end of 2023, with no replacement award issued in 2024.

The decrease in income tax expense was principally driven by the 41% decrease in income from operations, partially offset by a reduction in realizable excess tax benefits.

A discussion of the financial results for our segments is included further below.  

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, readers should use adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest expense on our corporate debt, and amortization and depreciation, adjusted for provision (benefit) for credit losses, net write-offs, stock-based incentive compensation charges, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net, the write off of the unamortized balance of premium associated with the repayment of a portion of our corporate debt, goodwill impairment, and contingent consideration liability fair value adjustments when the fair value adjustment is a triggering event for a goodwill impairment assessment. In cases where the fair value adjustment of contingent consideration liabilities is a trigger for goodwill impairment, the goodwill impairment is netted against the fair value adjustment of contingent consideration liabilities and included as a net number. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for adjusted EBITDA may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges that are used to determine compliance with financial covenants.

We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. We believe that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provides useful information to investors by offering:

● the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results;

● the ability to better identify trends in our underlying business and perform related trend analyses; and

● a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business.

42

We believe that adjusted EBITDA has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with net income on both a consolidated and segment basis. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income as follows:

Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to three months ended June 30, 2023

Servicing fees increased largely due to growth in the average servicing portfolio period over period. Investment management fees declined principally due to a decrease in revenue from our Principal Investing funds due to lower asset sales. Placement fees and other interest income increased largely as a result of higher placement fee rates due to a higher short-term interest rate environment. Other revenues decreased primarily due to lower syndication revenues due to lower equity syndication volume year over year. Net write-offs decreased as we had a write-off of a loan held for investment in 2023, with no comparable activity in 2024. The increase in other operating expenses was largely related to expenses incurred for our all-company meeting for the three months ended June 30, 2024, with no comparable activity during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to six months ended June 30, 2023

Origination fees decreased primarily due to a decline in Fannie Mae debt financing volumes. Servicing fees increased largely due to growth in the average servicing portfolio period over period. Investment management fees decreased as a result of a decline in asset management fees from our LIHTC operations. Placement fees and other interest income increased largely as result of higher placement fee rates due to a higher short-term interest rate environment. Other revenues declined mostly due to a decrease in investment banking revenues due to a large investment banking transaction in the first quarter of 2023 with no comparable activity in 2024 combined with lower LIHTC syndication fees due to a decrease in equity syndication volume. The decrease in personnel expenses was primarily due to decreases in commission costs due to our lower origination fees. Net write-offs decreased as we had a write-off of a loan held for investment in 2023, with no comparable activity in 2024. Other operating expenses increased largely as a result of increased (i) travel and entertainment mostly related to our all-company meeting, with no comparable activity in 2023, (ii) software costs associated with automation efforts, and (iii) miscellaneous expenses.

Financial Condition

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are generated from loan sales, servicing fees, placement fees, net warehouse interest income (expense), property sales broker fees, investment management fees, research subscription fees, investment banking advisory fees, and other income, net of loan originations and operating costs. Our cash flows from operations are impacted by the fees generated by our loan originations and property sales, the timing of loan closings, and the period of time loans are held for sale in the warehouse loan facility prior to delivery to the investor.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our cash flows from investing activities include capital expenditures, the funding and repayment of loans held for investment, contributions to and distributions from joint ventures, purchases of equity-method investments, cash paid for acquisitions, and the purchase of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities pledged to Fannie Mae.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We use our warehouse loan facilities and, when necessary, our corporate cash to fund loan closings, both for loans held for sale and loans held for investment. We believe that our current warehouse loan facilities are adequate to meet our loan origination needs. Historically, we have used a combination of long-term debt and cash flows from operating activities to fund large acquisitions. Additionally, we repurchase shares, pay cash dividends, make long-term debt principal payments, and repay short-term borrowings on a regular basis. We issue stock primarily in connection with the exercise of stock options (cash inflow) and occasionally for acquisitions (non-cash transactions).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

The following table presents a period-to-period comparison of the significant components of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The decrease in cash used in operating activities was driven primarily by loans originated and sold. Such loans are held for short periods of time, generally less than 60 days, and impact cash flows presented as of a point in time due to the timing difference between the date of origination and date of delivery. The decrease in net cash used in loan origination activities is primarily attributable to originations outpacing sales by $232.8 million in 2024 compared to $901.8 million in 2023. Excluding cash flow provided by origination and sale of loans, cash flows provided by operating activities were $33.4 million in 2024, up from $20.7 million in 2023. The primary reason for the change was a change in the adjustment for credit losses. The provision (benefit) for credit losses was a $3.5 million positive adjustment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an $11.5 million negative adjustment for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The change to net cash used in investing activities in 2024 from net cash provided by investing activities in 2023 was due to (i) an increase in the purchase of AFS securities, (ii) a decrease of the principal collected on of loans held for investment, and (iii) the repurchase of an Agency loan during the first quarter 2024 with no comparable activity in 2023. We have been winding down our Interim Loan Program (“ILP”) loans over the past several years. As of the beginning of 2024, we only had two ILP loans compared to nine loans as of the beginning of 2023. The changes were partially offset by a decrease in purchases of equity-method investments, as we made fewer capital contributions in our equity-method investments.

The decrease in the cash provided by financing activities was largely attributable to the decrease in net borrowings of warehouse notes payable due to the aforementioned decrease in loan origination activity, a decrease in borrowings of note payable, and payments for the purchase of noncontrolling interest, partially offset by decreases in repayments of interim warehouse notes payable due to the aforementioned decrease in payoffs of ILP loans, repayments of notes payable, and the repurchase of common stock.  In 2023, we had an additional borrowing under our Term Loan (as defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources below), a portion of which was used to repay a note payable at one of our subsidiaries, with no comparable activity in 2024. This unique transaction resulted in the decreases in the borrowings and repayments of note payable. The decrease in repurchases of common stock was related to a decrease in the number and value of employee stock vesting events related to previously issued equity grants under our various share-based compensation plans. The purchase of noncontrolling interest in 2024 was a unique transaction with no comparable activity in 2023.

(1) Origination fees as a percentage of total debt financing volume.

(2) MSR income as a percentage of total debt financing volume, excluding the income and debt financing volume from principal lending and investing.

(3) MSR income as a percentage of Agency debt financing volume.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in origination fees was primarily the result of a 5-basis-point decrease in our origination fee rate, partially offset by a 2% increase in overall debt financing volume.  See the “Overview of Current Business Environment” section above for a detailed discussion of the factors driving the change in debt financing activity. The decrease in the origination fee rate was driven by an increase in brokered debt financing volume as a percentage of total debt financing volume and the decrease in Fannie Mae financing volume as a percentage of total debt financing volume as seen above. Brokered loans have lower origination fees than Fannie Mae loans.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the decreases in our MSR income and MSR rate were primarily attributable to the 32% decrease in Fannie Mae debt financing volume. Fannie Mae volume as a percentage of total transaction volume decreased from 32% in 2023 to 23% in 2024. Additionally, the weighted-average duration of Fannie Mae loans decreased 9% year over year due to the continued high interest rate environment. Partially offsetting these factors was a 16% increase in the weighted-average servicing fee (“WASF”) on Fannie Mae loans. Fannie Mae loans have higher WASF than our other products, producing higher MSR income than our other product types.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decreases in our MSR income and MSR rate were primarily attributable to the 33% decrease in Fannie Mae debt financing volume. Fannie Mae volume as a percentage of total transaction volume decreased from 31% in 2023 to 20% in 2024. Additionally, the weighted-average duration of Fannie Mae loans decreased 10% year over year due to the continued high interest rate environment. Partially offsetting these factors was a 13% increase in the WASF on Fannie Mae loans.

Other revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease was principally due to an $8.0 million decrease in investment banking revenues due to the closing of the largest investment banking advisory transaction in Company history during 2023 with no comparable activity in 2024.

Expenses

Personnel. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease was primarily the result of a $3.4 million decrease in salaries and benefits and stock compensation due to lower headcount in the segment, a $3.4 million decrease in commission costs due to lower origination fees and property sales broker fees, and a $5.5 million decrease in the subjective bonus compensation expense due to lower headcount. Our lower headcount was primarily due to a workforce reduction which began to have an impact towards the end of the second quarter of 2023.  

Interest expense on corporate debt. Interest expense on corporate debt is determined at a consolidated corporate level and allocated to each segment proportionally based on each segment’s use of that corporate debt. The discussion of our consolidated results above has additional information related to the increase in interest expense on corporate debt.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense (benefit) is determined at a consolidated corporate level and allocated to each segment proportionally based on each segment’s income from operations, except for significant, one-time tax activities, which are allocated entirely to the segment impacted by the tax activity.

There were no significant drivers of change in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to six months ended June 30, 2023

Origination fees decreased due to a decrease in our origination fee rate, partially offset by a small increase in total debt financing volume. The decrease in other revenues was principally due to a decrease in investment banking revenues. The decrease in personnel expense was primarily due to decreased commission costs due to the decreases in origination fees and property sales broker fees and lower salaries expense and subjective bonus compensation expense due to a reduction in headcount for the segment.

Revenues

Servicing fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average servicing portfolio period over period as shown below, slightly offset by a decline in the average servicing fee rate. The increase in the average servicing portfolio was driven by the $3.6 billion increase in Fannie Mae and the $1.7 billion increase in Freddie Mac loans serviced over the past year. The decrease in the average servicing fee rate was the result of the WASF on new debt financing volume being lower than the WASF for the loans paid off in the portfolio over the past year.

Investment management fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, investment management fees declined principally due to a $1.5 million decrease in revenue from our Principal Investing funds due to lower asset sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, investment management fees decreased primarily due to a decline in asset management fees from our LIHTC operations of $2.1 million.

Placement fees and other interest income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase was driven primarily by an increase in our placement fees on escrow deposits of $4.1 million and $10.4 million, respectively. The placement fee rates on escrow deposits increased as a result of a higher short-term interest rate environment in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Short-term interest rates were still rising in the first half of 2023 before stabilizing in the second half of the year and into 2024.

Other revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, other revenues decreased primarily due to a $1.7 million reduction in syndication revenues due to a 36% lower equity syndication volume year over year.

Expenses

Provision (benefit) for credit losses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Provision (benefit) for credit losses switched from a benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to an expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in provision for other credit losses in 2024 related to the forbearance and indemnification agreements discussed in NOTE 2 above. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the benefit was related to an updated collateral-based reserve.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, provision (benefit) for credit losses switched from a large benefit in 2023 to a provision in 2024. The provision for credit losses in 2024 was primarily attributable to a $4.6 million provision related to the forbearance and indemnification agreements discussed in NOTE 2, partially offset by a $1.1 million benefit for risk-sharing obligations resulting from an update to our historical loss rate and forecast-period loss rate. The benefit for credit losses in 2023 was primarily due to the annual update of our historical loss rate and forecast-period loss rates that resulted in a large decrease to the calculated expected credit losses. The 2023 update resulted in the loss data from earlier periods within the historical lookback period falling off and being replaced with a period with significantly lower loss data, resulting in the historical loss rate decreasing substantially. The 2024 update had a much lower impact.

Interest expense on corporate debt. Interest expense on corporate debt is determined at a consolidated corporate level and allocated to each segment proportionally based on each segment’s use of that corporate debt. The discussion of our condensed consolidated results above has additional information related to the increase in interest expense on corporate debt.

Other operating expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, other operating expenses decreased primarily as a result of decreased miscellaneous expenses year over year, largely from our affordable operations.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense is determined at a consolidated corporate level and allocated to each segment proportionally based on each segment’s income from operations, except for significant, one-time tax activities, which are allocated entirely to the segment impacted by the tax activity.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2023

Servicing fees increased due to growth in the average servicing portfolio period over period as a result of loan originations. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, investment management fees declined principally due to a decrease in revenue from our Principal Investing funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, investment management fees decreased primarily due to a decline in asset management fees from our LIHTC operations. Placement fees and other interest income increased largely due to an increase in placement fee rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, other revenues decreased primarily due to a reduction in syndication revenues due to lower equity syndication volume year over year. Net write-offs decreased due to a charge off related to a loan held for investment that settled in the second quarter of 2023, with no comparable activity in 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, other operating expenses decreased primarily as a result of decreased miscellaneous expenses year over year, largely from our affordable operations.

(1) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. For more information on adjusted EBITDA, refer to the section below titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

Revenues

Other interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase was due to an increase in the interest rates we earn on our cash deposits held by our corporate segment as interest rates continued to rise throughout 2023 and remained elevated in 2024.

Other revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase was largely due to an increase in income from equity-method investments, partially offset by a small decrease in miscellaneous revenue categories.

Expenses

Personnel. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increases were primarily due to increases in subjective bonus compensation expense, partially offset by decreases in salaries, benefits, severance and other compensation costs, and decreases in stock compensation costs. The $3.5 million and $5.7 million increases in subjective bonus compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, was due to our expected full year performance compared to targets. The $1.1 million and $1.5 million decreases in salaries, benefits, and severance costs for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, were due to lower headcounts as a result of our workforce reduction which began to have an impact towards the end of the second quarter of 2023. Stock compensation costs decreased by about $1.0 million during each of the three- and six-month periods primarily due to fewer equity grants in 2024 compared to 2023.

Interest expense on corporate debt. Interest expense on corporate debt is determined at a consolidated corporate level and allocated to each segment proportionally based on each segment’s use of that corporate debt. The discussion of our consolidated results above has additional information related to the increase in interest expense on corporate debt.

Other operating expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increases were primarily driven by increases in travel and entertainment, software, and miscellaneous expenses.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense (benefit) is determined at a consolidated corporate level and allocated to each segment proportionally based on each segment’s income from operations, except for significant, one-time tax activities, which are allocated entirely to the segment impacted by the tax activity.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2023

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, other interest income increased primarily due to an increase in the interest rates on our cash deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, other revenues increased primarily due to an increase in income from equity method investments. The increases in personnel expense were primarily due to a higher subjective bonus compensation expense, partially offset by decreases in salaries and benefits. The increases in other operating expenses were primarily driven by increases in software, travel and entertainment, and miscellaneous expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Uses of Liquidity, Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our significant recurring cash flow requirements consist of liquidity to (i) fund loans held for sale; (ii) pay cash dividends; (iii) fund our portion of the equity necessary to support equity-method investments; (iv) fund investments in properties to be syndicated to LIHTC investment funds that we will asset-manage; (v) make payments related to earnouts from acquisitions, (vi) meet working capital needs to support our day-to-day operations, including debt service payments, joint venture development partnership contributions, advances for servicing and loan repurchases and payments for salaries, commissions, and income taxes, and (vii) meet working capital to satisfy collateral requirements for our Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing obligations and to meet the operational liquidity requirements of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, Ginnie Mae, and our warehouse facility lenders.

Fannie Mae has established benchmark standards for capital adequacy and reserves the right to terminate our servicing authority for all or some of the portfolio if, at any time, it determines that our financial condition is not adequate to support our obligations under the DUS agreement. We are required to maintain acceptable net worth as defined in the standards, and we satisfied the requirements as of June 30, 2024. The net worth requirement is derived primarily from unpaid balances on Fannie Mae loans and the level of risk-sharing. As of June 30, 2024, the net worth requirement was $313.5 million, and our net worth was $980 million, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC. As of June 30, 2024, we were required to maintain at least $62.4 million of liquid assets to meet our operational liquidity requirements for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, Ginnie Mae and our warehouse facility lenders. As of June 30, 2024, we had operational liquidity of $183.1 million, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC.

We paid a cash dividend of $0.65 per share during the second quarter of 2024, which is 3% higher than the quarterly dividend paid in the second quarter of 2023. On August 7, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.65 per share for the third quarter of 2024. The dividend will be paid on September 6, 2024 to all holders of record of our restricted and unrestricted common stock as of August 22, 2024.

In February 2024, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that permits the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of shares of our common stock over a 12-month period beginning February 23, 2024. Through June 30, 2024, we have not repurchased any shares under the 2024 stock repurchase program and have $75.0 million of remaining capacity under that program.

Historically, our cash flows from operations and warehouse facilities have been sufficient to enable us to meet our short-term liquidity needs and other funding requirements. We believe that cash flows from operations will continue to be sufficient for us to meet our current obligations for the foreseeable future.

Restricted Cash and Pledged Securities

Restricted cash consists primarily of good faith deposits held on behalf of borrowers between the time we enter into a loan commitment with the borrower and the investor purchases the loan. We are generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program, which is an off-balance sheet arrangement. We are required to secure this obligation by assigning collateral to Fannie Mae. We meet this obligation by assigning pledged securities to Fannie Mae. The amount of collateral required by Fannie Mae is a formulaic calculation at the loan level and considers the balance of the loan, the risk level of the loan, the age of the loan, and the level of risk-sharing. Fannie Mae requires collateral for Tier 2 loans of 75 basis points, which is funded over a 48-month period that begins upon delivery of the loan to Fannie Mae. Collateral held in the form of money market funds holding U.S. Treasuries is discounted 5%, and Agency MBS are discounted 4% for purposes of calculating compliance with the collateral requirements. As of June 30, 2024, we held substantially all of our restricted liquidity in Agency MBS in the aggregate amount of $160.0 million. Additionally, the majority of the loans for which we have risk-sharing are Tier 2 loans. We fund any growth in our Fannie Mae required operational liquidity and collateral requirements from our working capital.

59

We are in compliance with the June 30, 2024 collateral requirements as outlined above. As of June 30, 2024, reserve requirements for the June 30, 2024 DUS loan portfolio will require us to fund $70.4 million in additional restricted liquidity over the next 48 months, assuming no further principal paydowns, prepayments, or defaults within our at-risk portfolio. Fannie Mae has assessed the DUS Capital Standards in the past and may make changes to these standards in the future. We generate sufficient cash flows from our operations to meet these capital standards and do not expect any future changes to have a material impact on our future operations; however, any future changes to collateral requirements may adversely impact our available cash.

Under the provisions of the DUS agreement, we must also maintain a certain level of liquid assets referred to as the operational and unrestricted portions of the required reserves each year. We satisfied these requirements as of June 30, 2024.

Sources of Liquidity: Warehouse Facilities and Note Payable

Warehouse Facilities

We use a combination of warehouse facilities and notes payable to provide funding for our operations. We use warehouse facilities to fund our Agency Lending and Interim Loan Program. Our ability to originate Agency mortgage loans and loans held for investments depends upon our ability to secure and maintain these types of financing agreements on acceptable terms.  For a detailed description of the terms of each warehouse agreement, refer to “Warehouse Facilities” in NOTE 6 in the consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K, as updated in NOTE 6 in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Note Payable

For a detailed description of the terms of the Credit Agreement and related amendments, refer to “Notes Payable – Term Loan Note Payable” in NOTE 6 in the consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K and “Note Payable” in NOTE 6 in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

The warehouse notes payable and note payable are subject to various financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all of these financial covenants as of June 30, 2024.

Credit Quality and Allowance for Risk-Sharing Obligations

The following table sets forth certain information useful in evaluating our credit performance.

Allowance for risk-sharing as a percentage of the at-risk portfolio		0.05			0.06
Allowance for risk-sharing as a percentage of maximum exposure		0.25			0.29

(1) As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, this balance consisted entirely of Interim Program JV managed loans. We indirectly share in a portion of the risk of loss associated with Interim Program JV managed loans through our 15% equity ownership in the Interim Program JV. We have no exposure to risk of loss for the loans serviced directly for the Interim Program JV partner. The balance of this line is included as a component of assets under management in the Supplemental Operating Data table above.

(2) At-risk servicing portfolio is defined as the balance of Fannie Mae DUS loans subject to the risk-sharing formula described below, as well as a small number of Freddie Mac loans on which we share in the risk of loss. Use of the at-risk portfolio provides for comparability of the full risk-sharing and modified risk-sharing loans because the provision and allowance for risk-sharing obligations are based on the at-risk balances of the associated loans. Accordingly, we have presented the key statistics as a percentage of the at-risk portfolio.

For example, a $15 million loan with 50% risk-sharing has the same potential risk exposure as a $7.5 million loan with full DUS risk sharing. Accordingly, if the $15 million loan with 50% risk-sharing were to default, we would view the overall loss as a percentage of the at-risk balance, or $7.5 million, to ensure comparability between all risk-sharing obligations. To date, substantially all of the risk-sharing obligations that we have settled have been from full risk-sharing loans.

(3) Represents the maximum loss we would incur under our risk-sharing obligations if all of the loans we service, for which we retain some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. The maximum exposure is not representative of the actual loss we would incur.

(4) Defaulted loans represent loans in our Fannie Mae at-risk portfolio which are probable of foreclosure or that have foreclosed and for which the Company has recorded a collateral-based reserve (i.e., loans where we have assessed a probable loss). Other loans that are delinquent but not foreclosed or that are not probable of foreclosure are not included here. Additionally, loans that have foreclosed or are probable of foreclosure but are not expected to result in a loss to the Company are not included here.

61

Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing obligations are based on a tiered formula and represent substantially all of our risk-sharing activities. The risk-sharing tiers and the amount of the risk-sharing obligations we absorb under full risk-sharing are provided below. Except as described in the following paragraph, the maximum amount of risk-sharing obligations we absorb at the time of default is generally 20% of the origination unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of the loan.

Risk-Sharing Losses	Percentage Absorbed by Us
First 5% of UPB at the time of loss settlement	100%
Next 20% of UPB at the time of loss settlement	25%
Losses above 25% of UPB at the time of loss settlement	10%
Maximum loss	20% of origination UPB

Fannie Mae can double or triple our risk-sharing obligation if the loan does not meet specific underwriting criteria or if a loan defaults within 12 months of its sale to Fannie Mae. We may request modified risk-sharing at the time of origination, which reduces our potential risk-sharing obligation from the levels described above.

We use several techniques to manage our risk exposure under the Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing program. These techniques include maintaining a strong underwriting and approval process, evaluating and modifying our underwriting criteria given the underlying multifamily housing market fundamentals, limiting our geographic market and borrower exposures, and electing the modified risk-sharing option under the Fannie Mae DUS program.

The Segments – Capital Markets section of “Item 1. Business” in our 2023 Form 10-K contains a discussion of the risk-sharing caps we have with Fannie Mae.  

We regularly monitor the credit quality of all loans for which we have a risk-sharing obligation. Loans with indicators of underperforming credit are placed on a watch list, assigned a numerical risk rating based on our assessment of the relative credit weakness, and subjected to additional evaluation or loss mitigation. Indicators of underperforming credit include poor financial performance, poor physical condition, poor management, and delinquency. A collateral-based reserve is recorded when it is probable that a risk-sharing loan will foreclose or has foreclosed and it is expected to result in a loss for the Company, and a reserve for estimated credit losses and a guaranty obligation are recorded for all other risk-sharing loans. We do not record a collateral-based reserve when it is probable that a risk sharing loan will foreclose or has foreclosed, but it is not expected to result in a loss for the Company.

The allowance for risk-sharing obligations for the Company’s $59.5 billion at-risk Fannie Mae servicing portfolio as of June 30, 2024 was $30.5 million compared to $31.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, five at-risk loans with an aggregate UPB of $48.6 million were in default compared to two at-risk loans with an aggregate UPB of $37.0 million as of June 30, 2023. The collateral-based reserve on defaulted loans was $5.6 million and $3.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. We had a provision for risk-sharing obligations of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a benefit of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. We had benefit for risk-sharing obligations of $1.1 million and $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We are obligated to repurchase loans that are originated for the Agencies’ programs if certain representations and warranties that we provide in connection with such originations are breached. NOTE 2 in the condensed consolidated financial statements has additional details regarding our repurchase obligations.

New/Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As seen in NOTE 2 in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q, there are no accounting pronouncements that the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued that have the potential to materially impact us but have not yet been adopted by us as of June 30, 2024.

62

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

For loans held for sale to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD, we are not currently exposed to unhedged interest rate risk during the loan commitment, closing, and delivery processes. The sale or placement of each loan to an investor is negotiated prior to closing on the loan with the borrower, and the sale or placement is typically effectuated within 60 days of closing. The coupon rate for the loan is set at the same time we establish the interest rate with the investor.

Some of our assets and liabilities are subject to changes in interest rates. Placement fee revenue from escrow deposits generally track the effective Federal Funds Rate (“EFFR”). The EFFR was 533 basis points and 508 basis points as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The following table shows the impact on our placement fee revenue due to a 100-basis point increase and decrease in EFFR based on our escrow balances outstanding at each period end. A portion of these changes in earnings as a result of a 100-basis point increase in the EFFR would be delayed by several months due to the negotiated nature of some of our placement arrangements.

(in thousands)	As of June 30,
Change in annual placement fee revenue due to:	2024		2023
100 basis point increase in EFFR	$	26,619	$	27,883
100 basis point decrease in EFFR		(26,619)		(27,883)

The borrowing cost of our warehouse facilities used to fund loans held for sale is based on SOFR. The base SOFR was 533 basis points and 509 basis points as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The interest income on our loans held for investment is based on SOFR. The SOFR reset date for loans held for investment is the same date as the SOFR reset date for the corresponding warehouse facility. The following table shows the impact on our annual net warehouse interest income due to a 100-basis point increase and decrease in SOFR, based on our warehouse borrowings outstanding at each period end. The changes shown below do not reflect an increase or decrease in the interest rate earned on our loans held for sale.

Change in annual net warehouse interest income due to:	2024		2023
100 basis point increase in SOFR	$	(8,077)	$	(12,971)
100 basis point decrease in SOFR		8,077		12,971

Our Corporate Debt is based on Adjusted Term SOFR. The following table shows the impact on our annual earnings due to a 100-basis point increase and decrease in SOFR as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, based on the note payable balance outstanding at each period end.

(in thousands)	As of June 30,
Change in annual income from operations due to:	2024		2023
100 basis point increase in SOFR	$	(7,825)	$	(7,905)
100 basis point decrease in SOFR		7,825		7,905

Market Value Risk

The fair value of our MSRs is subject to market-value risk. A 100-basis point increase or decrease in the weighted average discount rate would decrease or increase, respectively, the fair value of our MSRs by approximately $42.7 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to $42.4 million as of June 30, 2023. Our Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans include economic deterrents that reduce the risk of loan prepayment prior to the expiration of the prepayment protection period, including prepayment premiums, loan defeasance, or yield maintenance fees. These prepayment protections generally extend the duration of the loan compared to a loan without similar protections. As of both June 30, 2024 and 2023, 90% of the loans for which we earn servicing fees are protected from the risk of prepayment through prepayment provisions; given this significant level of prepayment protection, we do not hedge our servicing portfolio for prepayment risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may be party to various claims and litigation, none of which we believe is material. We cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties, and other costs, and our reputation and business may be impacted. Our management believes that any liability that could be imposed on us in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have included in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K descriptions of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, future performance, or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). There have been no material changes from the disclosures provided in our 2023 Form 10-K. Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Under the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by stockholders on May 2, 2024 and constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the Company’s approval, grantees have the option of electing to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations at the time of vesting or exercise by allowing the Company to withhold and purchase the shares of stock otherwise issuable to the grantee. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we purchased eight thousand shares to satisfy grantee tax withholding obligations on share-vesting events. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that permits the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company’s common stock over a 12-month period beginning on February 23, 2024. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares under this share repurchase program. The Company had $75.0 million of authorized share repurchase capacity remaining as of June 30, 2024.

Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 2, 2024, by and among Walker & Dunlop, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or the “Indemnitor”) and Jeffery R. Hayward (the “Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and in such capacity is performing a valuable service for the Company;

WHEREAS, Maryland law permits the Company to enter into contracts with its officers or members of its Board of Directors with respect to indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, such persons;

WHEREAS, the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company (the “Charter”) provide that the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time;

WHEREAS, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) provide that each director and officer of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time and shall be entitled to advancement of expenses consistent with Maryland law; and

WHEREAS, to induce the Indemnitee to provide services to the Company as a member of the Board of Directors, and to provide the Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance that indemnification will be available to the Indemnitee regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the Charter or the Bylaws, or any acquisition transaction relating to the Company, the Indemnitor desires to provide the Indemnitee with protection against personal liability as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

1.DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement:

(A) “Change in Control” shall have the definition set forth in the Walker & Dunlop, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.

(B) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company

as a director, officer, partner (limited or general), member, director, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, other enterprise (whether conducted for profit or not for profit) or employee benefit plan. The Company shall be deemed to have requested the Indemnitee to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance of the Indemnitee’s duties to the Company also imposes or imposed duties on, or otherwise involves or involved services by, the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan.

(C) “Expenses” shall include all attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding.

(D) “Proceeding” includes any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation (including any formal or informal internal investigation to which the Indemnitee is made a party by reason of the Corporate Status of the Indemnitee), administrative hearing, or any other proceeding, including appeals therefrom, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except one initiated by the Indemnitee pursuant to paragraph 8 of this Agreement to enforce such Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

(E) “Special Legal Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporate law and neither presently is, or in the past two years has been, retained to represent (i) the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.

2. INDEMNIFICATION

The Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this paragraph 2 and under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any other agreement, a vote of stockholders or resolution of the Board of Directors or otherwise if, by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, such Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company.  Unless prohibited by paragraph 13 hereof and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, against judgments, penalties, fines and settlements and reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein; provided, however, that if such Proceeding was initiated by or in the right of the Company,

2

indemnification may not be made in respect of such Proceeding if the Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company.  For purposes of this paragraph 2, excise taxes assessed on the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed fines.

3. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES

(A)To the extent that the Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee could have been entitled to indemnification pursuant to paragraph 2, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.

(B)If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues, or matters in such Proceeding, the Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.

(C)For purposes of this paragraph (3) and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

4.ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to paragraph 13 hereof, if the Indemnitee is or was or becomes a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding (including as a witness), or is or was threatened to be made a party to or a participant (including as a witness) in any such Proceeding, by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or by reason of (or arising in part out of) any actual or alleged event or occurrence related to the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or by reason of any actual or alleged act or omission on the part of the Indemnitee taken or omitted in or relating to the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, then the Indemnitor shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Indemnitor of a statement from the Indemnitee requesting such advance from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding; provided that, such statement shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Indemnitor as authorized by this Agreement has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.  The undertaking required by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an unlimited general obligation of the Indemnitee but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.

3

5. WITNESS EXPENSES

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness for any reason in any Proceeding to which such Indemnitee is not a named defendant or respondent, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Indemnitor against all Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection therewith.

6. DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO AND AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION

(A) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Indemnitor a written request, including therewith such documentation and information reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

(B) Indemnification under this Agreement may not be made unless authorized for a specific Proceeding after a determination has been made in accordance with this paragraph 6(B) that indemnification of the Indemnitee is permissible in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the following standard of conduct: the Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, unless it is established that: (a) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (x) was committed in bad faith or (y) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (b) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.  Upon receipt by the Indemnitor of the Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification pursuant to subparagraph 6(A), a determination as to whether the applicable standard of conduct has been met shall be made within the period specified in paragraph 6(E):  (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Special Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, with Special Legal Counsel selected by the Indemnitee (the Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitor advising the Indemnitor of the identity of the Special Legal Counsel so selected); or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the Proceeding, or, if such quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of two or more directors not, at the time, parties to such Proceeding and who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors in which the designated directors who are parties may participate, (B) if the requisite quorum of the full Board of Directors cannot be obtained

4

therefor and the committee cannot be established (or, even if such quorum is obtainable or such committee can be established, if such quorum or committee so directs), by Special Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, with Special Legal Counsel selected by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors by vote as set forth in clause (ii)(A) of this paragraph 6(B) (or, if the requisite quorum of the full Board of Directors cannot be obtained therefor and the committee cannot be established, by a majority of the full Board of Directors in which directors who are parties to the Proceeding may participate) (if the Indemnitor selects Special Legal Counsel to make the determination under this clause (ii), the Indemnitor shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitee advising them of the identity of the Special Legal Counsel so selected) or (C) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company.  If it is so determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to the Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of Expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. However, if the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by Special Legal Counsel under clause (ii)(B) above, authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of Expenses shall be made in the manner specified under clause (ii)(B) above for the selection of such Special Legal Counsel.

(C) The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person or entity making such determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnitee in so cooperating shall be borne by the Indemnitor (irrespective of the determination as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Indemnitor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(D) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel pursuant to paragraph 6(B) hereof, the Indemnitee, or the Indemnitor, as the case may be, may, within seven days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Indemnitor or to the Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection.  Such objection may be asserted only on the grounds that the Special Legal Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Special Legal Counsel” as defined in paragraph 1 of this Agreement.  If such written objection is made, the Special Legal Counsel so selected may not serve as

5

Special Legal Counsel until a court has determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within twenty (20) days after submission by the Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to paragraph 6(A) hereof, no Special Legal Counsel shall have been selected or, if selected, shall have been objected to, either the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee may petition a court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Special Legal Counsel and/or for the appointment as Special Legal Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Special Legal Counsel under paragraph 6(B) hereof.  The Indemnitor shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of Special Legal Counsel incurred in connection with acting pursuant to paragraph 6(B) hereof, and all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the selection of such Special Legal Counsel pursuant to this paragraph 6(D).  In the event that a determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within ninety (90) days after the receipt by the Indemnitor of the Indemnitee’s request in accordance with paragraph 6(A), upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding in accordance with paragraph 8(A) of this Agreement, Special Legal Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity.

(E) The person or entity making the determination whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification will make the determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification within forty-five (45) days after the latter of the receipt by the Indemnitor of the request therefor or the final resolution of the Proceeding.  Such 45-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person or entity making said determination in good faith requires additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.  The foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6(E) shall not apply: (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders and if within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Indemnitor of the request for such determination the Board of Directors resolves to submit such determination to the stockholders for consideration at an annual or special meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made at such meeting, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel pursuant to paragraph 6(B) of this Agreement.

7. PRESUMPTIONS

(A) In making a determination with respect to entitlement or authorization of indemnification hereunder, the person or entity making such determination

6

shall presume that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Indemnitor shall have the burden of proof to overcome such presumption.

(B) The termination of any Proceeding by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.

8. REMEDIES

(A) In the event that:  (i) a determination is made in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (ii) advancement of reasonable Expenses is not timely made pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) payment of indemnification due the Indemnitee under this Agreement is not timely made, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction of such Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.

(B) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits.  The fact that a determination had been made earlier pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification shall not be taken into account in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8 and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced in any way by reason of that adverse determination.  In any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8, the Indemnitor shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(C) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Indemnitor shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8, absent:  (i) a misstatement by the Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make the Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(D) The Indemnitor shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in

7

any such court that the Indemnitor is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

(E) In the event that the Indemnitee, pursuant to this paragraph 8, seeks a judicial adjudication of such Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, if successful on the merits or otherwise as to all or less than all claims, issues or matters in such judicial adjudication, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnitor, and shall be indemnified by the Indemnitor against, any and all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.

9.NOTIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF CLAIMS

The Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Indemnitor in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder, but the failure so to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability that the Indemnitor may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby.  With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor of the commencement thereof:

(A) The Indemnitor will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense.

(B) Except as otherwise provided below, the Indemnitor will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee.  After notice from the Indemnitor to Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below.  Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and disbursements of such counsel incurred after notice from the Indemnitor of the Indemnitor’s assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (a) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Indemnitor, (b) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, (c) such Proceeding seeks penalties or other relief against the Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnitor could not provide monetary indemnification to the Indemnitee (such as injunctive relief or incarceration) or (d) the Indemnitor shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and disbursements of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor.  The Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the

8

defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Indemnitor, or as to which the Indemnitee shall have reached the conclusion specified in clause (b) above, or which involves penalties or other relief against the Indemnitee of the type referred to in clause (c) above.

(C) The Indemnitor shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Indemnitor’s written consent.  The Indemnitor shall not settle any action or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent.  Neither the Indemnitor nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay consent to any proposed settlement.

10. NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE SUBROGATION

(A) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of reasonable Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any other agreement, a vote of stockholders, a resolution of the Board of Directors or otherwise, except that any payments otherwise required to be made by the Indemnitor hereunder shall be offset by any and all amounts received by the Indemnitee from any other indemnitor or under one or more liability insurance policies maintained by an indemnitor or otherwise and shall not be duplicative of any other payments received by an Indemnitee from the Indemnitor in respect of the matter giving rise to the indemnity hereunder; provided, however, that if indemnification rights are provided by an Additional Indemnitor as defined in Section 18(B) hereof, such Section shall govern.  No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective as to the Indemnitee with respect to any action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

(B) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors and officers of the Company, the Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available and upon any “Change in Control” the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or arrange for continuation and/or “tail” coverage for the Indemnitee to the maximum extent obtainable at such time.

(C) Except as otherwise provided in Section 18(B) hereof, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all actions necessary to secure such

9

rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Indemnitor to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(D) Except as otherwise provided in Section 18(B) hereof, the Indemnitor shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, or otherwise.

11. CONTINUATION OF INDEMNITY

(A) All agreements and obligations of the Indemnitor contained herein shall continue during the period the Indemnitee is an officer or a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and during the period of statute of limitations for any act or omission occurring during the Indemnitee’s term of Corporate Status.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Indemnitor and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee and such Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

(B) The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

12. SEVERABILITY

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (i) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

13. EXCEPTIONS TO RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION OR ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

10

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of reasonable Expenses under this Agreement with respect to (i) any Proceeding initiated by such Indemnitee against the Indemnitor other than a proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof, or (ii) any Proceeding for an accounting of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any similar provisions of any federal, state or local statute.

14.NOTICE TO THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS

Any indemnification of, or advancement of reasonable Expenses, to an Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement, if arising out of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, shall be reported in writing to the stockholders of the Company with the notice of the next Company stockholders’ meeting or prior to the meeting.

15.HEADINGS

The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

or to such other address as may have been furnished to the Indemnitee by the Indemnitor or to the Indemnitor by the Indemnitee, as the case may be.

18.CONTRIBUTION

(A) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, penalties, fines and settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnitee, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

(B) The Company acknowledges and agrees that as between the Company and any other entity that has provided indemnification rights in respect of Indemnitee’s service as a director of the Company at the request of such entity (an “Additional Indemnitor”), the Company shall be primarily liable to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement for any indemnification claim (including, without limitation, any claim for advancement of Expenses) by Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding for which Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.  In the event the Additional Indemnitor is liable to any extent to Indemnitee by virtue of indemnification rights provided by the Additional Indemnitor to Indemnitee in respect of Indemnitee’s service on the Board at the request of the Additional Investor and Indemnitee is also entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (including, without limitation, for advancement of Expenses) as a result of any Proceeding, the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any indemnification claim (including, without limitation, any claim for advancement of Expenses) brought by the Indemnitee against the Company under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any claim for advancement of Expenses) without requiring the Additional Indemnitor to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution, subrogation or any other right of recovery of any kind it may have against the Additional Indemnitor in respect thereof.  The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Additional Indemnitor on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought

12

indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Additional Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company.

19.GOVERNING LAW

The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland, without application of the conflict of laws principles thereof.

20.NO ASSIGNMENTS

The Indemnitee may not assign its rights or delegate obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor.  Any assignment or delegation in violation of this paragraph 20 shall be null and void.

21.NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

Except for the rights of an Additional Indemnitor under paragraph 18(B) hereof: (a), nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement; and (b) this Agreement and all of its provisions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns.

Exhibit 10.2

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 9, 2024, by and among Walker & Dunlop, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or the “Indemnitor”) and Gary S. Pinkus (the “Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and in such capacity is performing a valuable service for the Company;

WHEREAS, Maryland law permits the Company to enter into contracts with its officers or members of its Board of Directors with respect to indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, such persons;

WHEREAS, the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company (the “Charter”) provide that the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time;

WHEREAS, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) provide that each director and officer of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time and shall be entitled to advancement of expenses consistent with Maryland law; and

WHEREAS, to induce the Indemnitee to provide services to the Company as a member of the Board of Directors, and to provide the Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance that indemnification will be available to the Indemnitee regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the Charter or the Bylaws, or any acquisition transaction relating to the Company, the Indemnitor desires to provide the Indemnitee with protection against personal liability as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

1.DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement:

(A) “Change in Control” shall have the definition set forth in the Walker & Dunlop, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.

(B) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company

as a director, officer, partner (limited or general), member, director, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, other enterprise (whether conducted for profit or not for profit) or employee benefit plan. The Company shall be deemed to have requested the Indemnitee to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance of the Indemnitee’s duties to the Company also imposes or imposed duties on, or otherwise involves or involved services by, the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan.

(C) “Expenses” shall include all attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding.

(D) “Proceeding” includes any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation (including any formal or informal internal investigation to which the Indemnitee is made a party by reason of the Corporate Status of the Indemnitee), administrative hearing, or any other proceeding, including appeals therefrom, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except one initiated by the Indemnitee pursuant to paragraph 8 of this Agreement to enforce such Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

(E) “Special Legal Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporate law and neither presently is, or in the past two years has been, retained to represent (i) the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.

2. INDEMNIFICATION

The Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this paragraph 2 and under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any other agreement, a vote of stockholders or resolution of the Board of Directors or otherwise if, by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, such Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company.  Unless prohibited by paragraph 13 hereof and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, against judgments, penalties, fines and settlements and reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein; provided, however, that if such Proceeding was initiated by or in the right of the Company,

2

indemnification may not be made in respect of such Proceeding if the Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company.  For purposes of this paragraph 2, excise taxes assessed on the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed fines.

3. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES

(A)To the extent that the Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee could have been entitled to indemnification pursuant to paragraph 2, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.

(B)If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues, or matters in such Proceeding, the Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.

(C)For purposes of this paragraph (3) and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

4.ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to paragraph 13 hereof, if the Indemnitee is or was or becomes a party to or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding (including as a witness), or is or was threatened to be made a party to or a participant (including as a witness) in any such Proceeding, by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or by reason of (or arising in part out of) any actual or alleged event or occurrence related to the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or by reason of any actual or alleged act or omission on the part of the Indemnitee taken or omitted in or relating to the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, then the Indemnitor shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Indemnitor of a statement from the Indemnitee requesting such advance from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding; provided that, such statement shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Indemnitor as authorized by this Agreement has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.  The undertaking required by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an unlimited general obligation of the Indemnitee but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.

3

5. WITNESS EXPENSES

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness for any reason in any Proceeding to which such Indemnitee is not a named defendant or respondent, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Indemnitor against all Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection therewith.

6. DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO AND AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION

(A) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Indemnitor a written request, including therewith such documentation and information reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

(B) Indemnification under this Agreement may not be made unless authorized for a specific Proceeding after a determination has been made in accordance with this paragraph 6(B) that indemnification of the Indemnitee is permissible in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the following standard of conduct: the Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, unless it is established that: (a) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (x) was committed in bad faith or (y) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (b) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.  Upon receipt by the Indemnitor of the Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification pursuant to subparagraph 6(A), a determination as to whether the applicable standard of conduct has been met shall be made within the period specified in paragraph 6(E):  (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Special Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, with Special Legal Counsel selected by the Indemnitee (the Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitor advising the Indemnitor of the identity of the Special Legal Counsel so selected); or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the Proceeding, or, if such quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of two or more directors not, at the time, parties to such Proceeding and who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors in which the designated directors who are parties may participate, (B) if the requisite quorum of the full Board of Directors cannot be obtained

4

therefor and the committee cannot be established (or, even if such quorum is obtainable or such committee can be established, if such quorum or committee so directs), by Special Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, with Special Legal Counsel selected by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors by vote as set forth in clause (ii)(A) of this paragraph 6(B) (or, if the requisite quorum of the full Board of Directors cannot be obtained therefor and the committee cannot be established, by a majority of the full Board of Directors in which directors who are parties to the Proceeding may participate) (if the Indemnitor selects Special Legal Counsel to make the determination under this clause (ii), the Indemnitor shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitee advising them of the identity of the Special Legal Counsel so selected) or (C) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company.  If it is so determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to the Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of Expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. However, if the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by Special Legal Counsel under clause (ii)(B) above, authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of Expenses shall be made in the manner specified under clause (ii)(B) above for the selection of such Special Legal Counsel.

(C) The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person or entity making such determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnitee in so cooperating shall be borne by the Indemnitor (irrespective of the determination as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Indemnitor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(D) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel pursuant to paragraph 6(B) hereof, the Indemnitee, or the Indemnitor, as the case may be, may, within seven days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Indemnitor or to the Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection.  Such objection may be asserted only on the grounds that the Special Legal Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Special Legal Counsel” as defined in paragraph 1 of this Agreement.  If such written objection is made, the Special Legal Counsel so selected may not serve as

5

Special Legal Counsel until a court has determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within twenty (20) days after submission by the Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to paragraph 6(A) hereof, no Special Legal Counsel shall have been selected or, if selected, shall have been objected to, either the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee may petition a court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Special Legal Counsel and/or for the appointment as Special Legal Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Special Legal Counsel under paragraph 6(B) hereof.  The Indemnitor shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of Special Legal Counsel incurred in connection with acting pursuant to paragraph 6(B) hereof, and all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the selection of such Special Legal Counsel pursuant to this paragraph 6(D).  In the event that a determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within ninety (90) days after the receipt by the Indemnitor of the Indemnitee’s request in accordance with paragraph 6(A), upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding in accordance with paragraph 8(A) of this Agreement, Special Legal Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity.

(E) The person or entity making the determination whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification will make the determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification within forty-five (45) days after the latter of the receipt by the Indemnitor of the request therefor or the final resolution of the Proceeding.  Such 45-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person or entity making said determination in good faith requires additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.  The foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6(E) shall not apply: (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders and if within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Indemnitor of the request for such determination the Board of Directors resolves to submit such determination to the stockholders for consideration at an annual or special meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made at such meeting, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Special Legal Counsel pursuant to paragraph 6(B) of this Agreement.

7. PRESUMPTIONS

(A) In making a determination with respect to entitlement or authorization of indemnification hereunder, the person or entity making such determination

6

shall presume that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Indemnitor shall have the burden of proof to overcome such presumption.

(B) The termination of any Proceeding by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.

8. REMEDIES

(A) In the event that:  (i) a determination is made in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (ii) advancement of reasonable Expenses is not timely made pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) payment of indemnification due the Indemnitee under this Agreement is not timely made, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction of such Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.

(B) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits.  The fact that a determination had been made earlier pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification shall not be taken into account in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8 and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced in any way by reason of that adverse determination.  In any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8, the Indemnitor shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(C) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Indemnitor shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8, absent:  (i) a misstatement by the Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make the Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(D) The Indemnitor shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this paragraph 8 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in

7

any such court that the Indemnitor is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

(E) In the event that the Indemnitee, pursuant to this paragraph 8, seeks a judicial adjudication of such Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, if successful on the merits or otherwise as to all or less than all claims, issues or matters in such judicial adjudication, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnitor, and shall be indemnified by the Indemnitor against, any and all reasonable Expenses actually incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.

9.NOTIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF CLAIMS

The Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Indemnitor in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder, but the failure so to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability that the Indemnitor may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby.  With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor of the commencement thereof:

(A) The Indemnitor will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense.

(B) Except as otherwise provided below, the Indemnitor will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee.  After notice from the Indemnitor to Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below.  Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and disbursements of such counsel incurred after notice from the Indemnitor of the Indemnitor’s assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (a) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Indemnitor, (b) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, (c) such Proceeding seeks penalties or other relief against the Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnitor could not provide monetary indemnification to the Indemnitee (such as injunctive relief or incarceration) or (d) the Indemnitor shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and disbursements of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor.  The Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the

8

defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Indemnitor, or as to which the Indemnitee shall have reached the conclusion specified in clause (b) above, or which involves penalties or other relief against the Indemnitee of the type referred to in clause (c) above.

(C) The Indemnitor shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Indemnitor’s written consent.  The Indemnitor shall not settle any action or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s written consent.  Neither the Indemnitor nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay consent to any proposed settlement.

10. NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE SUBROGATION

(A) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of reasonable Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any other agreement, a vote of stockholders, a resolution of the Board of Directors or otherwise, except that any payments otherwise required to be made by the Indemnitor hereunder shall be offset by any and all amounts received by the Indemnitee from any other indemnitor or under one or more liability insurance policies maintained by an indemnitor or otherwise and shall not be duplicative of any other payments received by an Indemnitee from the Indemnitor in respect of the matter giving rise to the indemnity hereunder; provided, however, that if indemnification rights are provided by an Additional Indemnitor as defined in Section 18(B) hereof, such Section shall govern.  No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective as to the Indemnitee with respect to any action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

(B) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors and officers of the Company, the Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available and upon any “Change in Control” the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or arrange for continuation and/or “tail” coverage for the Indemnitee to the maximum extent obtainable at such time.

(C) Except as otherwise provided in Section 18(B) hereof, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all actions necessary to secure such

9

rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Indemnitor to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(D) Except as otherwise provided in Section 18(B) hereof, the Indemnitor shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, or otherwise.

11. CONTINUATION OF INDEMNITY

(A) All agreements and obligations of the Indemnitor contained herein shall continue during the period the Indemnitee is an officer or a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and during the period of statute of limitations for any act or omission occurring during the Indemnitee’s term of Corporate Status.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Indemnitor and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee and such Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

(B) The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

12. SEVERABILITY

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (i) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

13. EXCEPTIONS TO RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION OR ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

10

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of reasonable Expenses under this Agreement with respect to (i) any Proceeding initiated by such Indemnitee against the Indemnitor other than a proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof, or (ii) any Proceeding for an accounting of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any similar provisions of any federal, state or local statute.

14.NOTICE TO THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS

Any indemnification of, or advancement of reasonable Expenses, to an Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement, if arising out of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, shall be reported in writing to the stockholders of the Company with the notice of the next Company stockholders’ meeting or prior to the meeting.

15.HEADINGS

The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

16.MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

or to such other address as may have been furnished to the Indemnitee by the Indemnitor or to the Indemnitor by the Indemnitee, as the case may be.

18.CONTRIBUTION

(A) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, penalties, fines and settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnitee, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

(B) The Company acknowledges and agrees that as between the Company and any other entity that has provided indemnification rights in respect of Indemnitee’s service as a director of the Company at the request of such entity (an “Additional Indemnitor”), the Company shall be primarily liable to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement for any indemnification claim (including, without limitation, any claim for advancement of Expenses) by Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding for which Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.  In the event the Additional Indemnitor is liable to any extent to Indemnitee by virtue of indemnification rights provided by the Additional Indemnitor to Indemnitee in respect of Indemnitee’s service on the Board at the request of the Additional Investor and Indemnitee is also entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (including, without limitation, for advancement of Expenses) as a result of any Proceeding, the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any indemnification claim (including, without limitation, any claim for advancement of Expenses) brought by the Indemnitee against the Company under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any claim for advancement of Expenses) without requiring the Additional Indemnitor to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution, subrogation or any other right of recovery of any kind it may have against the Additional Indemnitor in respect thereof.  The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Additional Indemnitor on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought

12

indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Additional Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company.

19.GOVERNING LAW

The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland, without application of the conflict of laws principles thereof.

20.NO ASSIGNMENTS

The Indemnitee may not assign its rights or delegate obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor.  Any assignment or delegation in violation of this paragraph 20 shall be null and void.

21.NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

Except for the rights of an Additional Indemnitor under paragraph 18(B) hereof: (a), nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement; and (b) this Agreement and all of its provisions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns.

22.COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together constitute an agreement binding on all of the parties hereto.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Subsequent Events—The Company has evaluated the effects of all events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024 and before the date of this filing. The Company has made certain disclosures in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024. There have been no other material subsequent events that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, including the allowance for risk-sharing obligations, initial and recurring fair value assessments of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, the initial fair value assessment of  goodwill, the periodic assessment of impairment of goodwill, initial fair value estimate of other intangible assets, and the initial and recurring fair value assessments of contingent consideration liabilities. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses—The Company records the income statement impact of the changes in the allowance for loan losses, the allowance for risk-sharing obligations, and other credit losses within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. NOTE 4 contains additional discussion related to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations. The Company has credit risk exclusively on loans secured by multifamily real estate, with no exposure to any other sector of commercial real estate, including office, retail, industrial and hospitality.

Provision (benefit) for credit losses	$	2,936	$	(734)	$	3,460	$	(11,509)

Agency Loan Repurchases—The Company is obligated to repurchase loans that are originated for the GSEs or HUD (collectively, the “Agencies”) programs if certain representations and warranties that it provides in connection with the sale of the loans through these programs are or may have been breached. When the Company repurchases a loan from the Agencies, the loan is included as a component of Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and any related credit loss is included within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Fannie Mae—During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased a $17.9 million Fannie Mae loan, which consisted of a $4.4 million advance previously made to Fannie Mae in 2023 and a $13.5 million cash payment during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an immaterial allowance for credit loss related to this loan, as the Company expects to liquidate the underlying collateral for approximately the Company’s cost basis in the loan.

Freddie Mac—The Company received repurchase requests from Freddie Mac related to two loans with unpaid principal balances (“UPB”) of $11.4 million and $34.8 million. In March 2024, the Company entered into a forbearance and indemnification agreement with Freddie Mac that among other things delayed the repurchase of these loans for six and 12 months, respectively, and transferred the risk of loss for both loans from Freddie Mac to the Company. The fair value of the indemnification related to the $11.4 million loan is de minimis due to the excess of fair value of the underlying collateral compared to the carrying value of the loan. With respect to the $34.8 million loan, as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s best estimate of the fair value of the indemnification was $4.6 million, which is included within Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding amount included in Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Loans Held for Investment (“LHFI”), net—LHFI consist predominately of multifamily interim loans originated by the Company for properties that currently do not qualify for permanent Agency financing (“Interim Loan Program” or “ILP”). These loans have terms of up to three years and are all adjustable-rate, interest-only, multifamily loans with similar risk characteristics and no geographic concentration. The Company also has an immaterial amount of LHFI associated with repurchased loans as discussed above. The loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for net unamortized loan fees and costs, and net of any allowance for loan losses. LHFI are included as a component of Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the Interim Loan Program portfolio consisted of a small number of loans with a balance of $25.9 million and $40.1 million, respectively, including an immaterial amount of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and allowance for loan losses. There were no ILP loans delinquent and in non-accrual status as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The amortized cost basis of loans that were current was $25.9 million and $40.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, all ILP loans were originated in 2019.

Statement of Cash Flows—For presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers pledged cash and cash equivalents (as detailed in NOTE 9) to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The following table presents a reconciliation of the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the related captions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents	$	281,490	$	283,892	$	391,403	$	258,283

Income Taxes—The Company records the realizable excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation as a reduction to income tax expense. The realizable excess tax benefits were a $0.4 million benefit and a $0.1 million shortfall for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and benefits of $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net Warehouse Interest Income (Expense)—The Company presents warehouse interest income net of warehouse interest expense. Warehouse interest income is the interest earned from loans held for sale and loans held for investment. Generally, a substantial portion of the Company’s loans is financed with matched borrowings under one of its warehouse facilities. The remaining portion of loans not funded with matched borrowings is financed with the Company’s own cash. Occasionally, the Company also fully funds a small number of loans held for sale or loans held for investment with its own cash. Warehouse interest expense is incurred on borrowings used to fund loans solely while they are held for sale or for investment. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for sale after a loan is closed and before a loan is sold. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for investment after a loan is closed and before a loan is repaid. Included in Net warehouse interest income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are the following components:

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
(in thousands)	June 30,				June 30,

Net warehouse interest income (expense)	$	(1,584)	$	(1,526)	$	(2,700)	$	(1,525)

Co-broker Fees—Third-party co-broker fees are netted against Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and were $2.0 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $4.6 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Contracts with Customers—A majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from the following sources, all of which are excluded from the accounting provisions applicable to contracts with customers: (i) financial instruments, (ii) transfers and servicing, (iii) derivative transactions, and (iv) investments in debt securities/equity-method investments. The remaining portion of revenues is derived from contracts with customers.

Other than LIHTC asset management fees as described in the 2023 Form 10-K and presented as Investment management fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, the Company’s contracts with customers generally do not require significant judgment or material estimates that affect the determination of the transaction price (including the assessment of variable consideration), the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations, and the determination of the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations. Additionally, the earnings process for the majority of the Company’s contracts with customers is not complicated and is generally completed in a short period of time. The following table presents information about the Company’s contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:  

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended

Total revenues derived from contracts with customers	$	68,427	$	66,274	$	120,830	$	129,638

Litigation—In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be party to various claims and litigation, none of which the Company believes is material. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties, and other costs, and the Company’s reputation and business may be impacted. The Company believes that any liability that could be imposed on the Company in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.

Recently Adopted and Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements—The Company is currently evaluating Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures and 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The

annual disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 are effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. The interim disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 are effective in 2025. The disclosures for ASU 2023-09 are effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company believes these ASUs will not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. There were no other recently announced but not yet effective accounting pronouncements issued that have the potential to impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not adopt any new accounting policies during the second quarter of 2024.

Reclassifications—The Company has made immaterial reclassifications to prior-year balances to conform to current-year presentation.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

MSRs

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

NOTE 3—MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) was $1.4 billion as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company uses a discounted static cash flow valuation approach, and the key economic assumption is the discount rate. For example, see the following sensitivities related to the discount rate:

The impact of a 100-basis point increase in the discount rate at June 30, 2024 would be a decrease in the fair value of $42.7 million to the MSRs outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

The impact of a 200-basis point increase in the discount rate at June 30, 2024 would be a decrease in the fair value of $82.5 million to the MSRs outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. These estimates do not include interplay among assumptions and are estimated as a portfolio rather than individual assets.

Activity related to MSRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 follows:

ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS

ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS

ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS

NOTE 4—ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS

When a loan is sold under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) program, the Company typically agrees to guarantee a portion of the ultimate loss incurred on the loan should the borrower fail to perform. The compensation for this risk is a component of the servicing fee on the loan. The guaranty is in force while the loan is outstanding. The Company does not provide a guaranty for any other loan product it sells or brokers. Substantially all loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program contain modified or full-risk sharing guaranties that are based on the credit performance of the loan. The Company records an estimate of the contingent loss reserve for Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) for all loans in its Fannie Mae at-risk servicing portfolio and also records collateral-based reserves as necessary and presents this combined loss reserve as Allowance for risk-sharing obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Activity related to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 follows:

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended

The Company assesses several qualitative and quantitative factors to calculate the CECL allowance each quarter including the current and expected unemployment rate, macroeconomic conditions, and the multifamily market. The key inputs for the CECL allowance are the historic loss rate, the forecast-period loss rate, the reversion-period loss rate, and the UPB of the at-risk servicing portfolio. A summary of the key inputs of the CECL allowance as of the end of each of the quarters presented and the provision (benefit) impact during each quarter for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 follows.

During the first quarters of both 2024 and 2023, the Company updated its 10-year look-back period, resulting in loss data from the earliest year being replaced with the loss data for the most recently completed year. The look-back period updates resulted in the historical loss rate factors decreasing and the benefit for risk-sharing obligations, as noted in the table above. The Company also slightly increased its forecast-period and reversion-period loss rates during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to incorporate uncertain macroeconomic conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the ratio of the forecast-period loss rate to the historical loss rate increased, resulting in a much lower benefit for risk-sharing obligations.

During the second quarters of both 2024 and 2023, the activity in the risk-sharing obligations shown above was primarily the result of updated collateral-based reserves.

The weighted average remaining life of the at-risk Fannie Mae servicing portfolio as of June 30, 2024 was 6.0 years compared to 6.4 years as of December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had five loans with aggregate collateral-based reserves of $5.6 million compared to three loans with an aggregate collateral-based reserve of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability associated with the Company’s guaranties for the at-risk loans serviced under the Fannie Mae DUS agreement was $12.2 billion and $11.3 billion, respectively. This maximum quantifiable contingent liability relates to the at-risk loans serviced for Fannie Mae at the specific point in time indicated. The maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss the Company would incur. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans it services for Fannie Mae, for which the Company retains some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans were determined to be without value at the time of settlement.

Warehouse Facilities

As of June 30, 2024, to provide financing to borrowers under the Agencies’ programs, the Company had committed and uncommitted warehouse lines of credit in the amount of $3.8 billion with certain national banks and a $1.5 billion uncommitted facility with Fannie Mae (collectively, the “Agency Warehouse Facilities”). In support of these Agency Warehouse Facilities, the Company has pledged substantially

all of its loans held for sale under the Company’s approved programs. The Company’s ability to originate mortgage loans for sale depends upon its ability to secure and maintain these types of short-term financings on acceptable terms.

Additionally, the Company has arranged for warehouse lines of credit with certain national banks to assist in funding loans held for investment under the Interim Loan Program (“Interim Warehouse Facilities”). The Company has pledged the majority of its loans held for investment against these Interim Warehouse Facilities. The Company’s ability to originate and hold loans held for investment depends upon market conditions and its ability to secure and maintain these types of short-term financings on acceptable terms. As of June 30, 2024, the Interim Warehouse Facilities had $119.8 million of total facility capacity with an outstanding balance of $11.7 million. The interest rate on the Interim Warehouse Facilities ranged from SOFR (defined below) plus 250 to 311 basis points.

The interest rate for all our warehouse facilities and debt is based on an Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).  The maximum amount and outstanding borrowings under Agency Warehouse Facilities as of June 30, 2024 follows:

	June 30, 2024

During 2024, the following amendments to the Company’s Agency Warehouse Facilities were executed in the normal course of business to support the Company’s business. No other material modifications have been made to the other Agency Warehouse Facilities during the year.

The maturity date of Agency Warehouse Facility #2 was extended to April 11, 2025.

The committed borrowing capacity of Agency Warehouse Facility #3 was decreased from $600.0 million to $425.0 million, and the uncommitted borrowing capacity was increased from $265.0 million to $425.0 million. The maturity date was also extended to May 15, 2025, and the interest rate was decreased from SOFR plus 135 basis points to SOFR plus 130 basis points.

The committed borrowing capacity of Agency Warehouse Facility #4 was decreased from $200.0 million to $150.0 million. The maturity date was also extended to June 22, 2025.

Note Payable

The Company has a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $600.0 million term loan. Additionally, in January 2023 the Company entered into a lender joinder agreement and amendment to the Credit Agreement that provided for additional borrowing with a principal amount of $200.0 million, modified the ratio thresholds related to mandatory prepayments, and included a provision that allows additional types of indebtedness.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into another amendment, that, among other things, decreased the interest rate of the additional borrowing with an outstanding balance of $198.0 million from Adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.00% to Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.25%, made a small update to the quarterly principal payment, and made other immaterial changes.

As of June 30, 2024, the $600.0 million term loan and additional borrowings of $198.0 million (together known as “Term Debt”) had an outstanding principal balance of $782.5 million. The Term Debt matures on December 16, 2028.

The warehouse notes payable and notes payable are subject to various financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all of these financial covenants as of June 30, 2024.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach to measure assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

● Level 1—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

● Level 2—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, market data by correlation or other means.

● Level 3—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall valuation.

The Company's MSRs are measured at fair value at inception, and thereafter on a nonrecurring basis, and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. That is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value measurement when there is evidence of impairment and for disclosure purposes (NOTE 3). The Company's MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of multifamily MSRs do occur on occasion, precise terms and conditions vary with each transaction and are not readily available. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the Company’s MSRs was developed using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model considers contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, estimated placement fee revenue from escrow deposits, and other economic factors. The Company periodically reassesses and adjusts, when necessary, the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model to reflect observable market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing MSR assets.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

● Derivative Instruments—The derivative positions consist of interest rate lock commitments with borrowers and forward sale agreements to the Agencies. The fair value of these instruments is estimated using a discounted cash flow model developed based on changes in the applicable U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data. The value was determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company, and is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

● Loans Held for Sale—All loans held for sale presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reported at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of the loans held for sale using discounted cash flow models that incorporate quoted observable inputs from market participants, such as changes in the U.S. Treasury rate. Therefore, the Company classifies these loans held for sale as Level 2.

● Pledged Securities—Investments in money market funds are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. Therefore, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 1. The Company determines the fair value of its AFS Agency MBS using third-party broker estimates of fair value. Consequently, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 2. Additional details on Pledged Securities are included in NOTE 9.

● Contingent Consideration Liabilities—Contingent consideration liabilities from acquisitions are initially recognized at fair value at acquisition and subsequently remeasured using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses updated management forecasts and current valuation assumptions and discount rates. The Company determines the fair value of each contingent consideration liability based on probability of achievement, which incorporates management estimates. As a result, the Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3. Additional details on Contingent consideration liabilities are included in NOTE 7.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy used to measure fair value:

The following methods and assumptions were used for recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash—The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (Level 1).

Pledged Securities—Consist of cash, highly liquid investments in money market accounts invested in government securities, and investments in Agency debt securities. The investments of the money market funds typically have maturities of 90 days or less and are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. The fair value of the Agency debt securities incorporates the third-party broker estimates of fair value.

Loans Held for Sale—Consist of originated loans that are generally transferred or sold within 60 days from the date that a mortgage loan is funded and are valued using discounted cash flow models that incorporate observable prices from market participants.

Contingent Consideration Liabilities—Consists of the estimated fair values of expected future earnout payments related to acquisitions completed primarily in 2021 and 2022. The earnout liabilities are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities incorporates unobservable inputs, such as the probability of earnout achievement, volatility rates, and discount rate, to determine the expected earnout cash flows. The probability of the earnout achievement is based on management’s estimate of the expected future performance and other financial metrics of each of the acquired entities, which are subject to significant uncertainty.

Derivative Instruments—Consists of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale agreements. These instruments are valued using discounted cash flow models developed based on changes in the U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data. The value is determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Loans Held for Sale—In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual commitments to originate and sell multifamily mortgage loans at fixed prices with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers "lock-in" a specified interest rate within time frames established by the Company. All mortgagors are evaluated for creditworthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the "lock-in" of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor.

To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into a sale commitment with the investor simultaneously with the rate lock commitment with the borrower. The sale contract with the investor locks in an interest rate and price for the sale of the loan. The terms of the contract with the investor and the rate lock with the borrower are matched in substantially all respects, with the objective of eliminating interest rate risk to the extent practical. Sale commitments with the investors have an expiration date that is longer than our related commitments to the borrower to allow for, among other things, the closing of the loan and processing of paperwork to deliver the loan into the sale commitment.

Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to buyers are undesignated derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the Company's rate lock commitments to borrowers and loans held for sale and the related input levels includes, as applicable:

● the estimated gain of the expected loan sale to the investor (Level 2);

● the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan, net of any guaranty obligations retained (Level 2);

● the effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date (Level 2); and

● the nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company (Level 3; derivative instruments only).

The estimated gain considers the origination fees the Company expects to collect upon loan closing (derivative instruments only) and premiums the Company expects to receive upon sale of the loan (Level 2). The fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan is calculated pursuant to the valuation techniques applicable to the fair value of future servicing, net at loan sale (Level 2).

To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company uses applicable published U.S. Treasury prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount (Level 2).

The fair value of the Company's forward sales contracts to investors considers the effects of interest rate movements between the trade date and the balance sheet date (Level 2). The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate lock commitments and forward sales contracts is adjusted to reflect the risk that the agreement will not be fulfilled. The Company’s exposure to nonperformance in interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Given the credit quality of our counterparties and the short duration of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts, the risk of nonperformance by the Company’s counterparties has historically been minimal (Level 3).

The following table presents the components of fair value and other relevant information associated with the Company’s derivative instruments and loans held for sale as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

FANNIE MAE COMMITMENTS AND PLEDGED SECURITIES

FANNIE MAE COMMITMENTS AND PLEDGED SECURITIES

NOTE 9—FANNIE MAE COMMITMENTS AND PLEDGED SECURITIES

Fannie Mae DUS Related Commitments—Commitments for the origination and subsequent sale and delivery of loans to Fannie Mae represent those mortgage loan transactions where the borrower has locked an interest rate and scheduled closing, and the Company has entered into a mandatory delivery commitment to sell the loan to Fannie Mae. As discussed in NOTE 8, the Company accounts for these commitments as derivatives recorded at fair value.

The Company is generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program. The Company is required to secure these obligations by assigning restricted cash balances and securities to Fannie Mae, which are classified as Pledged securities, at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of collateral required by Fannie Mae is a formulaic calculation at the loan level and considers the balance of the loan, the risk level of the loan, the age of the loan, and the level of risk-sharing. Fannie Mae requires restricted liquidity for Tier 2 loans of 75 basis points, which is funded over a 48-month period that begins upon delivery of the loan to Fannie Mae. Pledged securities held in the form of money market funds holding U.S. Treasuries are discounted 5%, and Agency mortgage-backed securities (“Agency MBS”) are discounted 4% for purposes of calculating compliance with the restricted liquidity requirements. As seen below, the Company held the majority of its pledged securities in Agency MBS as of June 30, 2024. The majority of the loans for which the Company has risk sharing are Tier 2 loans.

The Company is in compliance with the June 30, 2024 collateral requirements as outlined above. As of June 30, 2024, reserve requirements for the DUS loan portfolio will require the Company to fund $70.4 million in additional restricted liquidity over the next 48 months, assuming no further principal paydowns, prepayments, or defaults within the at-risk portfolio. Fannie Mae has reassessed the DUS Capital Standards in the past and may make changes to these standards in the future. The Company generates sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet these capital standards and does not expect any future changes to have a material impact on its future operations; however, any future increases to collateral requirements may adversely impact the Company’s available cash.

Fannie Mae has established benchmark standards for capital adequacy and reserves the right to terminate the Company's servicing authority for all or some of the portfolio if, at any time, it determines that the Company's financial condition is not adequate to support its obligations under the DUS agreement. The Company is required to maintain acceptable net worth, as defined in the agreement, and the Company satisfied the requirements as of June 30, 2024. The net worth requirement is derived primarily from unpaid principal balances on Fannie Mae loans and the level of risk sharing. As of June 30, 2024, the net worth requirement was $313.5 million, and the Company's net worth, as defined in the requirements, was $980.0 million, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was required to maintain at least $62.4 million of liquid assets to meet operational liquidity requirements for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, and Ginnie Mae, and the Company had operational liquidity, as defined in the requirements, of $183.1 million as of June 30, 2024, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC.

Pledged Securities, at Fair Value—Pledged securities, at fair value consisted of the following balances as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2023 and 2022:

The information in the preceding table is presented to reconcile beginning and ending cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as more fully discussed in NOTE 2.

The Company’s investments included within Pledged securities, at fair value consist primarily of money market funds and Agency debt securities. The investments in Agency debt securities consist of multifamily Agency MBS and are all accounted for as AFS securities. A detailed discussion of the Company’s accounting policies regarding the allowance for credit losses for AFS securities is included in NOTE 2 of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. The following table provides additional information related to the Agency MBS as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

NOTE 10—EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated under the two-class method. The two-class method allocates all earnings (distributed and undistributed) to each class of common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company grants share-based awards to various employees and nonemployee directors under the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by stockholders on May 2, 2024 and constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, that entitle recipients to receive nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. These unvested awards meet the definition of participating securities.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 under the two-class method. Participating securities were included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the two-class method, as this computation was more dilutive than the treasury-stock method.

The assumed proceeds used for calculating the dilutive impact of restricted stock awards under the treasury-stock method includes the unrecognized compensation costs associated with the awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 127 thousand average restricted shares and 128 thousand average restricted shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury-stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 456 thousand average restricted shares and 442 thousand average restricted shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation. These average restricted shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury method because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (the exercise price of the options, or the grant date market price of the restricted shares was greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares of common stock during the periods presented).

In February 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that permits the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company’s common stock over a 12-month period beginning on February 23, 2024. During the first six months of 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $75.0 million of authorized share repurchase capacity remaining under the 2024 share repurchase program.

During each of the first and second quarters of 2024, the Company paid a dividend of $0.65 per share. On August 7, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.65 per share for the third quarter of 2024. The dividend will be paid on September 6, 2024 to all holders of record of the Company’s restricted and unrestricted common stock as of August 22, 2024.

The Company awarded $4.4 million and $3.0 million of stock to settle compensation liabilities, a non-cash transaction, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s note payable contains direct restrictions on the amount of dividends the Company may pay, and the warehouse debt facilities and agreements with the Agencies contain minimum equity, liquidity, and other capital requirements that indirectly restrict the amount of dividends the Company may pay. The Company does not believe that these restrictions currently limit the amount of dividends the Company can pay for the foreseeable future.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company purchased a noncontrolling interest for cash consideration of $7.0 million, of which $4.0 million was paid at the time of closing, with an additional $1.0 million to be paid in each of the next three quarters. The purchase of the noncontrolling interest resulted in a reduction to APIC of $25.7 million (a non-cash transaction) for the excess of the purchase price over the noncontrolling interest balance.

SEGMENTS

NOTE 11—SEGMENTS

The Company’s executive leadership team, which functions as the Company’s chief operating decision making body, makes decisions and assesses performance based on the following three reportable segments. The reportable segments are determined based on the product or service provided and reflect the manner in which management is currently evaluating the Company’s financial information.  

(i) Capital Markets (“CM”)—CM provides a comprehensive range of commercial real estate finance products to its customers, including Agency lending, debt brokerage, property sales, and appraisal and valuation services. The Company’s long-established relationships with the Agencies and institutional investors enable CM to offer a broad range of loan products and services to the Company’s customers, including first mortgage, second trust, supplemental, construction, mezzanine, preferred equity, and small-balance loans. CM provides property sales services to owners and developers of multifamily properties and commercial real estate and multifamily property appraisals for various investors. CM also provides real estate-related investment banking and advisory services, including housing market research.

As part of Agency lending, CM temporarily funds the loans it originates (loans held for sale) before selling them to the Agencies and earns net interest income on the spread between the interest income on the loans and the warehouse interest expense. For Agency loans, CM recognizes the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, which represents the right to receive future servicing fees. CM also earns fees for origination of loans for both Agency lending and debt brokerage, fees for property sales, appraisals, and investment banking and advisory services, and subscription revenue for its housing market research. Direct internal, including compensation, and external costs that are specific to CM are included within the results of this reportable segment.

(ii) Servicing & Asset Management (“SAM”)—SAM’s activities include: (i) servicing and asset-managing the portfolio of loans the Company (a) originates and sells to the Agencies, (b) brokers to certain life insurance companies, and (c) originates through its principal lending and investing activities, (ii) managing third-party capital invested in commercial real estate assets through senior secured debt or limited partnership equity instruments; e.g., preferred equity, mezzanine debt, etc. either through funds or direct investments, and (iii) managing third-party capital invested in tax credit equity funds focused on the LIHTC sector and other commercial real estate.

SAM earns revenue mainly through fees for servicing and asset-managing the loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio and asset management fees for managing third-party capital. Direct internal, including compensation, and external costs that are specific to SAM are included within the results of this reportable segment.

(iii) Corporate—The Corporate segment consists primarily of the Company’s treasury operations and other corporate-level activities. The Company’s treasury activities include monitoring and managing liquidity and funding requirements, including corporate debt. Other corporate-level activities include equity-method investments, accounting, information technology, legal, human resources, marketing, internal audit, and various other corporate groups (“support functions”). The Company does not allocate costs from these support functions to the CM or SAM segments in presenting segment operating results. The Company does allocate interest expense and income tax expense. Corporate debt and the related interest expense are allocated first based on specific acquisitions where debt was directly used to fund the acquisition, such as the acquisition of Alliant, and then based on the remaining segment assets. Income tax expense is allocated proportionally based on income from operations at each segment, except for significant, one-time tax activities, which are allocated entirely to the segment impacted by the tax activity.

The following tables provide a summary and reconciliation of each segment’s results of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

NOTE 12—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company provides alternative investment management services through the syndication of tax credit funds and development of affordable housing projects. To facilitate the syndication and development of affordable housing projects, the Company is involved with the acquisition and/or formation of limited partnerships and joint ventures with investors, property developers, and property managers that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

A detailed discussion of the Company’s accounting policies regarding the consolidation of VIEs and significant transactions involving VIEs is included in NOTE 2 and NOTE 17 of the 2023 Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets and liabilities of the consolidated tax credit funds were immaterial. The table below presents the assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated joint venture development VIEs included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events—The Company has evaluated the effects of all events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024 and before the date of this filing. The Company has made certain disclosures in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024. There have been no other material subsequent events that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates—The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, including the allowance for risk-sharing obligations, initial and recurring fair value assessments of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, the initial fair value assessment of  goodwill, the periodic assessment of impairment of goodwill, initial fair value estimate of other intangible assets, and the initial and recurring fair value assessments of contingent consideration liabilities. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses

Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses—The Company records the income statement impact of the changes in the allowance for loan losses, the allowance for risk-sharing obligations, and other credit losses within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. NOTE 4 contains additional discussion related to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations. The Company has credit risk exclusively on loans secured by multifamily real estate, with no exposure to any other sector of commercial real estate, including office, retail, industrial and hospitality.

Agency Loan Repurchases

Agency Loan Repurchases—The Company is obligated to repurchase loans that are originated for the GSEs or HUD (collectively, the “Agencies”) programs if certain representations and warranties that it provides in connection with the sale of the loans through these programs are or may have been breached. When the Company repurchases a loan from the Agencies, the loan is included as a component of Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and any related credit loss is included within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Fannie Mae—During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased a $17.9 million Fannie Mae loan, which consisted of a $4.4 million advance previously made to Fannie Mae in 2023 and a $13.5 million cash payment during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an immaterial allowance for credit loss related to this loan, as the Company expects to liquidate the underlying collateral for approximately the Company’s cost basis in the loan.

Freddie Mac—The Company received repurchase requests from Freddie Mac related to two loans with unpaid principal balances (“UPB”) of $11.4 million and $34.8 million. In March 2024, the Company entered into a forbearance and indemnification agreement with Freddie Mac that among other things delayed the repurchase of these loans for six and 12 months, respectively, and transferred the risk of loss for both loans from Freddie Mac to the Company. The fair value of the indemnification related to the $11.4 million loan is de minimis due to the excess of fair value of the underlying collateral compared to the carrying value of the loan. With respect to the $34.8 million loan, as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s best estimate of the fair value of the indemnification was $4.6 million, which is included within Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding amount included in Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Loans Held for Investment ("LHFI"), net

Loans Held for Investment (“LHFI”), net—LHFI consist predominately of multifamily interim loans originated by the Company for properties that currently do not qualify for permanent Agency financing (“Interim Loan Program” or “ILP”). These loans have terms of up to three years and are all adjustable-rate, interest-only, multifamily loans with similar risk characteristics and no geographic concentration. The Company also has an immaterial amount of LHFI associated with repurchased loans as discussed above. The loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for net unamortized loan fees and costs, and net of any allowance for loan losses. LHFI are included as a component of Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the Interim Loan Program portfolio consisted of a small number of loans with a balance of $25.9 million and $40.1 million, respectively, including an immaterial amount of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and allowance for loan losses. There were no ILP loans delinquent and in non-accrual status as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The amortized cost basis of loans that were current was $25.9 million and $40.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, all ILP loans were originated in 2019.

Statement of Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows—For presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers pledged cash and cash equivalents (as detailed in NOTE 9) to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The following table presents a reconciliation of the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the related captions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes—The Company records the realizable excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation as a reduction to income tax expense. The realizable excess tax benefits were a $0.4 million benefit and a $0.1 million shortfall for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and benefits of $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net Warehouse Interest Income (Expense)

Net Warehouse Interest Income (Expense)—The Company presents warehouse interest income net of warehouse interest expense. Warehouse interest income is the interest earned from loans held for sale and loans held for investment. Generally, a substantial portion of the Company’s loans is financed with matched borrowings under one of its warehouse facilities. The remaining portion of loans not funded with matched borrowings is financed with the Company’s own cash. Occasionally, the Company also fully funds a small number of loans held for sale or loans held for investment with its own cash. Warehouse interest expense is incurred on borrowings used to fund loans solely while they are held for sale or for investment. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for sale after a loan is closed and before a loan is sold. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for investment after a loan is closed and before a loan is repaid. Included in Net warehouse interest income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are the following components:

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended

Co-broker Fees

Co-broker Fees—Third-party co-broker fees are netted against Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and were $2.0 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $4.6 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Contracts with Customers

Contracts with Customers—A majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from the following sources, all of which are excluded from the accounting provisions applicable to contracts with customers: (i) financial instruments, (ii) transfers and servicing, (iii) derivative transactions, and (iv) investments in debt securities/equity-method investments. The remaining portion of revenues is derived from contracts with customers.

Other than LIHTC asset management fees as described in the 2023 Form 10-K and presented as Investment management fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, the Company’s contracts with customers generally do not require significant judgment or material estimates that affect the determination of the transaction price (including the assessment of variable consideration), the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations, and the determination of the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations. Additionally, the earnings process for the majority of the Company’s contracts with customers is not complicated and is generally completed in a short period of time. The following table presents information about the Company’s contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Litigation

Litigation—In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be party to various claims and litigation, none of which the Company believes is material. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties, and other costs, and the Company’s reputation and business may be impacted. The Company believes that any liability that could be imposed on the Company in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.

Recently Adopted and Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted and Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements—The Company is currently evaluating Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures and 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The

annual disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 are effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. The interim disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 are effective in 2025. The disclosures for ASU 2023-09 are effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company believes these ASUs will not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. There were no other recently announced but not yet effective accounting pronouncements issued that have the potential to impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not adopt any new accounting policies during the second quarter of 2024.
