Note 5 - Reverse Mortgages
The following table presents the estimated fair value of reverse mortgage loans classified as held for sale or held for investment pooled into HMBS, at fair value. Loans were reclassified to loans held for sale, at fair value (pursuant to the fair value election) at December 31, 2025 as we intended, and agreed to sell all of the loans to FAR in November 2025 along with the HMBS-related borrowings at book value (determined at closing of the transaction). On April 30, 2026, the parties entered into an amendment to the November 2025 agreements whereby OMC agreed to sell a portion of its reverse MSRs comprised of approximately 20,000 HECM loans and the HMBS related borrowings, subject to Ginnie Mae approval and customary closing conditions, and the remaining loans which will not be sold were reclassified as held for investment. On May 28, 2026, the sale as amended was approved by Ginnie Mae and the transaction closed on June 30, 2026. As of the closing date on June 30, 2026, the sold balances included $5.6 billion securitized assets ($5.2 billion UPB), the associated $5.5 billion HMBS-related borrowings (or net $70 million reverse MSR), and approximately $57 million newly originated reverse loans and tails pending securitization. The final purchase price is subject to a 60-day adjustment period, following the closing date of the transaction.
The reverse loans described herein exclude reverse loans pledged as collateral for the asset-backed securitization notes issued by OLIT and certain non HECM loans which are classified as Loans held for sale, at fair value on the face of the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

The following table presents the composition of reverse mortgage loans by type:

Total fair value
$3,640.6 $9,807.5 
(1)The Ginnie Mae securitization of conventional, HECM loans does not qualify for sale accounting treatment and is accounted for as a secured financing transaction, with the recognition of both loans and HMBS-related borrowing on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2)Tails include draws on securitized HECM loans, mortgage insurance premium, servicing fee and other advances which we subsequently securitize.
(3)As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the balance includes nil and $58.4 million, respectively, of new HECM loan originations pending pooling into HMBS (pipeline loans).
The following table summarizes the activity in reverse mortgage loans and HMBS-related borrowings that do not qualify for sale accounting and for which we elected the fair value option:
