NOTE 3—MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) was $1.4 billion as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company uses a discounted static cash flow valuation approach, and the key economic assumptions are the discount rate and placement fee rate. See the following sensitivities showing the changes in fair value related to changes in these key economic assumptions:

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.
