Credit Enhancement Receivable Contingent Liability And Credit Enhancement Deposit [Abstract]

Credit Enhancement Receivable, Credit Enhancement Deposit and Contingent Liability

Newmark was a party to a Credit Enhancement Agreement (“CEA”), dated March 9, 2012, with German American Capital Corporation and Deutsche Bank Americas Holding Corporation (together, the “DB Entities”). On October 20, 2016, the DB Entities assigned the CEA to Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Island Branch, a Cayman Island Branch of Deutsche Bank AG (“DB Cayman”). Under the terms of these agreements, DB Cayman provided Newmark with varying levels of ongoing credit protection, subject to certain limits, for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans subject to loss-sharing (see Note 23 — “Financial Guarantee Liability”) in Newmark’s servicing portfolio as of March 9, 2012. DB Cayman also reimbursed Newmark for any losses incurred due to violation of underwriting and servicing agreements that occurred prior to March 9, 2012. In accordance within the terms of the CEA, Newmark paid all amounts due to the DB Entities on March 23, 2021 fulfilling the Company's obligations under the agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no reimbursements under the CEA.

Newmark's servicing portfolio consisted of the following loss-sharing components (in thousands):



	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Total credit risk loan portfolio	$	27,571,719	$	25,764,721

Maximum pre-credit enhancement loss exposure	$	8,375,966	$	7,785,850

Credit enhancement receivable

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no credit enhancement receivables.

Credit enhancement deposit

The CEA required the DB Entities to deposit $25.0 million into Newmark’s Fannie Mae restricted liquidity account (see Note 9 — “Capital and Liquidity Requirements”). On March 23, 2021, Newmark returned the credit enhancement deposit of $25.0 million to the DB Entities.

Contingent liability

Under the CEA, Newmark was required to pay DB Cayman, on March 9, 2021, an amount equal to 50% of the positive difference, if any, between (a) $25.0 million, and (b) Newmark’s unreimbursed loss-sharing payments from March 9, 2012 through March 9, 2021 on Newmark’s servicing portfolio as of March 9, 2012. On March 23, 2021, Newmark paid DB Cayman the entire outstanding amount. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no contingent liability.
