The right to service loans for others is recognized as an MSR on the balance sheet. MSRs are recognized either when purchased or when originated loans are sold with servicing retained. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others were approximately $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In addition, approximately $3.3 billion and $3.1 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, of loans were sub-serviced on behalf of other unaffiliated investors.
