Capital and Liquidity Requirements Capital and Liquidity Requirements
Newmark is subject to various capital requirements in connection with seller/servicer agreements that Newmark has entered into with the various GSEs. Failure to maintain minimum capital requirements could result in Newmark’s inability to originate and service loans for the respective GSEs and could have a direct material adverse effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Newmark had met all capital requirements. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the most restrictive capital requirement was the net worth requirement of Fannie Mae. Newmark exceeded the minimum requirement by $400.9 million and $386.7 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Certain of Newmark’s agreements with Fannie Mae allow Newmark to originate and service loans under the Fannie Mae DUS program. These agreements require Newmark to maintain sufficient collateral to meet Fannie Mae’s restricted and operational liquidity requirements based on a pre-established formula. Certain of Newmark’s agreements with Freddie Mac allow Newmark to service loans under a legacy credit risk Freddie Mac TAH program that is no longer active. These agreements require Newmark to pledge sufficient collateral to meet Freddie Mac’s liquidity requirement of 8% of the outstanding principal of Freddie Mac TAH loans under this program serviced by Newmark. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Newmark had met all liquidity requirements.

In addition, as a servicer for Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and FHA, Newmark is required to advance to investors any uncollected principal and interest due from borrowers. Furthermore, we act as Master servicer on a private CMBS securitization
where we are required to advance property protective advances, with reimbursement generally within 120 days. Outstanding borrower advances were $5.8 million and $5.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and are included in “Other assets” on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
