(1)Weighted average is calculated based on the interest-bearing principal balance of each loan within the related category. For loans acquired with servicing rights released by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation do not reflect loan servicing fees. For loans acquired with servicing rights retained by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation are net of servicing fees. Certain Transitional Loans contain contractual features which increase the loan’s interest rate following an event of default. The weighted average coupon presented is calculated based on each loan’s coupon rate without regard to post-default rate adjustments.
(2)For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the gross coupon was 6.83% for Non-QM loans, 6.37% for Single-family rental loans, 9.94% for Single-family transitional loans, 10.06% for Multifamily transitional loans, and 5.09% for Seasoned RPL/NPL loans. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the gross coupon was 6.88% for Non-QM loans, 6.37% for Single-family rental loans, 10.32% for Single-family transitional loans, 10.18% for Multifamily transitional loans, and 5.10% for Seasoned RPL/NPL loans.
(3)LTV represents the ratio of the total unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date. Excluded from the calculation of weighted average are certain low value loans secured by vacant lots, for which the LTV ratio is not meaningful.
(4)Excludes loans for which no Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score is available.
(5)For Single-family and Multifamily transitional loans that are less than 90 days delinquent, the LTV presented is generally the ratio of the maximum unpaid principal balance of the loan, including unfunded commitments, to the estimated “after repaired” value of the collateral securing the related loan, as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date. For Single-family and Multifamily transitional loans that are 90 or more days delinquent, as well as certain performing loans for which an after repaired valuation was not available, the LTV presented is the ratio of the current unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated as-is value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date.

(1)LTV represents the ratio of the total unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date.

For certain Single-family and Multifamily transitional loans that are 90 or more days delinquent, as well as certain performing loans for which an after repaired valuation was not available, the LTV presented is the ratio of the current unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated “as is” value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date. Excluded from the calculation of weighted average LTV are certain low value loans secured by vacant lots, for which the LTV is not meaningful.
