Derivatives Derivatives
Newmark accounts for its derivatives at fair value and recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In its normal course of business, Newmark enters into commitments to extend credit for mortgage loans at a specific rate (rate lock commitments) and commitments to deliver these loans to third-party investors at a fixed price (Forward Sales Contracts).

The fair value of derivative contracts, computed in accordance with Newmark’s netting policy, is set forth below (in thousands):

The changes in fair value of rate lock commitments are disclosed net of $0.2 million and $0.1 million of expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.1 million of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which expenses are reported as part of “Compensation and employee benefits” on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
