Payable to Non-Controlling Interests

Redwood and a third-party co-investor, through two partnership entities consolidated by Redwood, purchased servicer advances and excess MSRs related to a portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced by the co-investor (see Note 11 and Note 16 for additional information on the partnership entities and associated investments). We account for the co-investor’s interests in the entities as liabilities, and at March 31, 2026, the carrying value of their interests was $28 million, representing their current economic interest in the entities. Earnings from the partnership entities are allocated to the co-investor on a proportional basis and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, we allocated $3 million of income to the co-investor, respectively, recorded in Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income.

In 2023, Redwood and a third-party co-sponsored the transfer and securitization of HEI through a HEI securitization entity. Other third-party investors contributed HEI into this securitization through Redwood and retained subordinate beneficial interests issued by the securitization entity alongside Redwood. See Note 10 for a further discussion of the HEI securitization. We account for the co-investor's interest in the HEI securitization entity as a liability, and at March 31, 2026, the carrying value of their interest was $47 million, representing the fair value of their economic interest in the beneficial interest issued by the HEI entity. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the investors' share of earnings from their retained interests (for which positive earnings are reflected as an expense to Redwood in our consolidated statements of (loss) income) were negative $3 million and were recorded through HEI Income, net on our consolidated statements of (loss) income.

In 2025, we completed two CAFL bridge loan securitizations sponsored by one of our joint ventures. These transactions involved the transfer and securitization of bridge loans contributed from the joint venture and from Redwood through two bridge securitization entities. Each of the joint venture and Redwood retained its proportionate share of subordinate beneficial interests issued by the securitization entities. We account for the joint venture's interest in the bridge loan securitization entities as a liability and at March 31, 2026, the carrying value of their interests were $32 million, representing the fair value of their economic interest in the beneficial

interest issued. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the joint venture's share of recognized income was $1 million related to its retained interests in these two securitizations, resulting in a $1 million net expense to Redwood in our consolidated statements of (loss) income.

In 2024, we completed a CAFL securitization of bridge loans sponsored by one of our joint ventures. This transaction involved the transfer and securitization of bridge loans contributed from the joint venture and from Redwood through one bridge securitization entity. Each of the joint venture and Redwood retained its proportionate share of subordinate beneficial interests issued by the securitization entity. We account for the joint venture's interest in the bridge loan securitization entity as a liability and at March 31, 2026, the carrying value of their interest was $16 million, representing the fair value of their economic interest in the beneficial interest issued. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the joint venture recognized an expense of $1 million related to its retained interest in this securitization, resulting in a $1 million net income to Redwood in our consolidated statements of (loss) income.
