Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026

• Our technology initiatives are intended to strengthen client engagement, improve data-driven decision-making, and enhance our ability to originate transactions and continue growing our servicing and asset management platforms over time.
• We recognize Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net and the Fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net of guaranty obligation from our lending with the Agencies when we commit to both originate a loan with a borrower and sell that loan to an investor.
• We have broadened the types of assets we sell, increased the number of property sales brokers, and expanded the geographical reach of this platform through hiring and acquisitions and intend to continue this expansion in support of our growth strategy.
• provide alternative investment management services focused on the affordable housing sector through LIHTC syndication and development of affordable housing projects through joint ventures.
• We invest, as the managing or non-managing member of joint ventures, with developers of affordable housing projects that are partially funded through LIHTCs.
• We include a servicing cost assumption to account for our expected costs to service a loan.
• 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 and do not expect to observe significant changes in the foreseeable future, including the assumption that most significantly impacts the estimate: the discount rate.
• Over the past several years, we have adjusted the placement fee rate assumption several times to reflect the current and expected future earnings rate projected for the life of the MSR as the interest rate environment has experienced significant volatility over the past several years.
• We record an estimate of the loss reserve for the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for all loans in these servicing portfolios.
• 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.
• A ten-year lookback period is used as we believe 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.
• 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.
