Our goal is to provide attractive returns to shareholders through a stable and growing stream of earnings and dividends, as well as through capital appreciation. We operate our business in 23 segments: Investment PortfolioResidential Lending, Business Purpose Lending, and Mortgage Banking.Third-Party Investments.
Our primary sources of income are net interest income from our investment portfolioinvestments and non-interest income from our mortgage banking activities. Net interest income consists of the interest income we earn on investments less the interest expense we incur on borrowed funds and other liabilities. Income from mortgage banking activities is generated through the origination and acquisition of residential loans, and their subsequent sale, securitization, or securitization, as well as through the origination of business purpose residential loans.transfer to our investment portfolios.
Redwood Trust, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”“Code”), beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. We generally refer, collectively, to Redwood Trust, Inc. and those of its subsidiaries that are not subject to subsidiary-level corporate income tax as “the REIT” or “our REIT.” We generally refer to subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. that are subject to subsidiary-level corporate income tax as “our operating subsidiaries” or “our taxable REIT subsidiaries” or “TRS.”
Redwood was incorporated in the State of Maryland on April 11, 1994, and commenced operations on August 19, 1994. On March 1, 2019, Redwood completed the acquisition of 5 Arches, LLC ("5 Arches"), at which time 5 Arches became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Redwood. On October 15, 2019, Redwood acquired CoreVest American Finance Lender, LLC and certain affiliated entities ("CoreVest"), at which time CoreVest became wholly owned by Redwood. References herein to “Redwood,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include Redwood Trust, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements presented herein are at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") — as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) — have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements according to these SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures included in these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments to present fairly the financial condition of the company at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and results of operations for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
In accordance with GAAP, we determine whether we must consolidate transferred financial assets and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for financial reporting purposes. We currently consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia securitization entities issued prior to 2012 where we maintain an ongoing involvement ("Legacy Sequoia"), as well as entities formed in connection with the securitization of Redwood Choice expanded-prime loans beginning in the third quarter of 2017 ("Sequoia Choice"). In addition, we consolidatedWe also consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and Freddie Mac Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction ("SLST") securitizations we invested in beginning in the third quarter of 2018, andin. Finally, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac SLSTCoreVest American Finance Lender ("CAFL") securitizations we invested in beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018.2019, in connection with our acquisition of CoreVest. Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood Trust, Inc. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained, although for the consolidated Sequoia and CAFL entities we are exposed to certain financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor, servicing administrator, or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation - (continued)

For financial reporting purposes, the underlying loans owned at the consolidated Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST entities are shown under Residential loans held-for-investment at fair value, and the underlying loans at the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series are shown under Multifamily loans held-for-investment at fair value, and the underlying single-family rental loans at the consolidated CAFL entities are shown under Business purpose residential loans held-for-investment at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. The asset-backed securities (“ABS”) issued to third parties by these entities are shown under ABS issued. In our consolidated statements of income (loss), we recorded interest income on the loans owned at these entities and interest expense on the ABS issued by these entities as well as other income and expenses associated with these entities' activities. See Note 14 for further discussion on ABS issued.
Beginning inDuring the fourthfirst quarter of 2018,2020, we sold subordinate securities issued by four of these Freddie Mac K-Series securitization trusts and determined that we should derecognize the associated assets and liabilities of each of these entities for financial reporting purposes. We deconsolidated $3.86 billion of multifamily loans and other assets and $3.72 billion of multifamily ABS issued and other liabilities, for which we realized market valuation losses of $72 million, which were recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
We also consolidate 2 partnerships ("Servicing Investment" entities) through which we have invested in servicing-related assets. We maintain an 80% ownership interest in each entity and have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these partnerships.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we consolidated 5 Arches, LLC ("5 Arches"), an originator of business purpose residential loans, pursuant to the exercise of our purchase option and the acquisition of the remaining equity in the company. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we acquired and consolidated CoreVest, an originator and portfolio manager of business purpose residential loans.
See Note 4 for further discussion on principles of consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. Our estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from our estimates and the differences could be material.
Acquisition ofAcquisitions
In May 2018, Redwood acquired a 20% minority interest in 5 Arches, LLC
an originator of business purpose residential loans. On March 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 80% interest in 5 Arches,Arches. On October 15, 2019, we acquired CoreVest, an originator and portfolio manager of business purpose residential loans. In May 2018, Redwood acquired a 20% minority interest in 5 ArchesRefer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for $10 million in cash, with a one-year option tothe year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information regarding these acquisitions, including purchase all remaining equity in the company. At closing, we paid approximately $13 million of cash, and the remainder of the consideration, which could total up to an additional $27 million, will be paid in a mix of cash and Redwood common stock and is contingent on the achievement of certain specified loan origination thresholds over the next two years.price allocations.

The goodwill was attributed to the expected business synergies and expansion into business purpose loan markets, as well as access to the knowledgeable and experienced workforceworkforces continuing to provide services to the business. We expect $3$75 million of ourthis goodwill balance to be deductible for tax purposes.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation - (continued)
During the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the deterioration in economic conditions caused by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic"), and its impact on our business, including a significant decline in the market price of our common stock, we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our Business Purpose Lending reporting unit was lower than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Based on this analysis, we determined that an interim goodwill impairment test should be performed as of March 31, 2020 and prepared updated cash flow projections for the ninereporting unit, resulting in a reduction in the long-term forecasts of profitability for our Business Purpose Lending reporting unit as compared to the prior year forecasts. Using these projections, we concluded that the fair value of our Business Purpose Lending reporting unit was less than its carrying value, including goodwill. As a result of this evaluation, we recorded a non-cash $89 million goodwill impairment expense through Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income (loss) during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

March 31, 2020. In conjunction with our assessment of goodwill, we also assessed our intangible assets for impairment at March 31, 2020 and determined they were 0t impaired. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators and additionally evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets to determine if revisions to the remaining periods of amortization are warranted.
The liability resulting from the contingent consideration arrangement with 5 Arches was recorded at its acquisition-date fair value of $25 million as part of total consideration for the acquisition of 5 Arches. These contingent earn-out payments were classified as a contingent consideration liability and carried at fair value prior to March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made a cash payment of $11 million and granted $3 million of Redwood common stock in connection with the first anniversary of the purchase date. Additionally, as a result of an amendment to the agreement, we reclassified the contingent liability to a deferred liability, as the remaining payments became payable on a set timetable without any remaining contingencies. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019, our estimated fair2020, the carrying value of this contingentdeferred liability was $25$15 million and was recorded as a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.4 million of contingent consideration expense, respectively, through Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income (loss). See Note 16 for additional information on our contingent consideration liability.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents Net interest income, Non-interest income, and Net income of Redwood, and 5 Arches, and CoreVest combined, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, as if the acquisitionacquisitions occurred as of January 1, 2018. These pro forma amounts have been adjusted to include the amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related compensation expense for both periods, and to exclude the income statement impacts related to our equity method investment in 5 Arches. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated financial results of operations that would have been reported if the acquisitionacquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 2018 and should not be taken as indicative of our future consolidated results of operations. During the period from March 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019, 5 Arches had mortgage banking income of $12 million and a net loss of $3 million. Included in the net loss for this period was intangible asset amortization expense of $4 million.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
Available-for-Sale Securities
Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" in the acquisition methodfirst quarter of accounting2020, we modified our policy for business combinations, underrecording impairments on available-for-sale securities. This new guidance requires that credit impairments on our available-for-sale securities be recorded in earnings using an allowance for credit losses, with the allowance limited to the amount by which the purchase pricesecurity's fair value is allocatedless than its amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and is measured as the difference between the beneficial interest’s amortized cost and the estimate of cash flows expected to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumedbe collected, discounted at the acquisition date. Theeffective interest rate used to accrete the beneficial interest. Any allowance for credit losses in excess of the purchase price overunrealized losses on the amount allocatedbeneficial interests are accounted for as a prospective reduction of the effective interest rate. No allowance is recorded for beneficial interests in an unrealized gain position. Favorable changes in the discounted cash flows will result in a reduction in the allowance for credit losses, if any. Any reduction in allowance for credit losses is recorded in earnings. If the allowance for credit losses has been reduced to zero, the remaining favorable changes are reflected as a prospective increase to the assets acquired and liabilities assumedeffective interest rate. If we intend to sell or it is recorded as goodwill. Adjustmentsmore likely than not that we will be required to sell the values ofsecurity before it recovers in value, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed that couldentire impairment amount will be made during the measurement period, which could be up to one year after the acquisition date, are recordedrecognized in the period in which the adjustment is identified,earnings with a corresponding offsetadjustment to goodwill. Any adjustments made after the measurement period are recordedsecurity's amortized cost basis.
Goodwill
Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" in the consolidated statementsfirst quarter of income. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of intangible assets and in assigning their estimated useful lives. Accordingly,2020, we typically seek the assistance of independent third-party valuation specialists for significant intangible assets. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions we deem reasonable. We generally use an income-based valuation method to estimate the fair value of intangible assets, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions we deem reasonable.
Determining the estimated useful lives of intangible assets also requires judgment. Our assessment as to which intangible assets are deemed to have finite or indefinite lives is based on several factors including economic barriers of entry for the acquired business, retention trends, andmodified our operating plans, among other factors.
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and reviewed forgoodwill impairment if indicators are present. Additionally, useful lives are evaluated each reporting period to determine if revisions to the remaining periods of amortization are warranted. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. We have elected to make the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter the annual impairment assessment date for goodwill.testing policy. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than theits carrying value. If, based on that assessment, we believe it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we measure the fair value of reporting unit and record a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value, then a two-step quantitative goodwillamount of the goodwill. Any such impairment test is performed.
Loan Originations
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, 5 Arches, originates business purpose residential loans, including single-family rental and residential bridge loans. Single-family rental loans are mortgage loans secured by 1-4 unit residential real estate with a mortgage loan borrower that owns the real estate as an investment property and rents the property to residential tenants. Residential bridge loans are mortgage loans generally secured by unoccupied residential real estate that the borrower owns as an investment and that is being renovated, rehabilitated or constructed. Generally, single-family rental loans are classified as held-for-sale at fair value, as we have originated these loans with the intent to sell to third parties or transfer to securitization entities. Certain single-family rental loans maycharges would be subsequently reclassified to held-for-investment when the loans are transferred to our Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLBC") member subsidiary and pledged as collateral for borrowings made from the FHLBC. Residential bridge loans are classified as held-for-investment at fair value, if we intend to hold these loans to maturity, or held-for-sale at fair value, if we intend to sell the loans to a third party.
Contingent Consideration
In relation to our acquisition of 5 Arches, we recorded contingent consideration liabilities that represent the estimated fair value (at the date of acquisition) of our obligation to make certain earn-out payments that are contingent on 5 Arches loan origination volumes exceeding certain specified thresholds. These liabilities are carried at fair value and periodic changes in their estimated fair value are recorded through Other income, netexpenses on our consolidated statements of income. The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration requires significant judgment regarding assumptions about future operating results, discount rates, and probabilities of projected operating result scenarios.

Leases
Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, "Leases," in the first quarter of 2019, we recorded a lease liability and right-of-use asset on our consolidated balance sheets. The lease liability is equal to the present value of our remaining lease payments discounted at our incremental borrowing rate and the right-of-use asset is equal to the lease liability adjusted for our deferred rent liability at the adoption of this accounting standard. As lease payments are made, the lease liability is reduced to the present value of the remaining lease payments and the right-of-use asset is reduced by the difference between the lease expense (straight-lined over the lease term) and the theoretical interest expense amount (calculated using the incremental borrowing rate)income (loss). See Note 16 for further discussion on leases.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs")
In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-07, "Codification Updates to SEC Sections - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, and Miscellaneous Updates (SEC Update)." This new guidance amends certain SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification pursuant to the issuance of various SEC Final Rule Releases, and is effective immediately. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the third quarter of 2019, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This new guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"). This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. However, we did not elect to reclassify any income tax effects of the Tax Act from AOCI to retained earnings as we did not have any tax effects related to the Tax Act remaining in AOCI at December 31, 2018. Our policy is to release any stranded income tax effects from AOCI to income tax expense on an investment-by-investment basis.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." This new guidance amends previous guidance to better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Additionally, in October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes," which permits the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The amendments in this update are required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in ASU 2017-12. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2019, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception." This new guidance changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded conversion options) with down round features. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2019, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20)." This new guidance shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased at a premium by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2019, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." This new guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. This new guidance retains a dual lease accounting model, which requires leases to be classified as either operating or capital leases for lessees, for purposes of income statement recognition. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases," which provides more specific guidance on certain aspects of Topic 842. Additionally, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements." This new ASU introduces an additional transition method which allows entities to apply the new standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements," which is intended to clarify Codification guidance. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2019, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We elected the package of practical expedients under the transition guidance within this standard, which allowed us to carry forward the classifications of each of our existing leases as operating leases. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, at September 30, 2019, our lease liability was $13 million, which represented the present value of our remaining lease payments discounted at our incremental borrowing rate and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2019, our right-of-use asset was $11 million, which was equal to the lease liability adjusted for our deferred rent liability at adoption and was recorded in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We will continue to record lease expense on a straight-line basis and have included required lease disclosures within Note 16.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This new guidance amends previous guidance by removing and modifying certain existing fair value disclosure requirements, while adding other new disclosure requirements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and entities may elect to early adopt the removal or modification of disclosures immediately and delay adoption of the new disclosure requirements until their effective date. We plan to adoptadopted this new guidance, byas required, in the required date and dofirst quarter of 2020, which did not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, "Codification Improvements." This new guidance is intended to clarify, correct, and make minor improvements to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The transition and effective dates are based on the facts and circumstancesstatements but impacted certain of each amendment, with some amendments becoming effective upon issuance of this ASU and others becoming effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date and do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.fair value footnote disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." This new guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." This new guidance provides a new impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to determine the allowance for credit losses. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which clarifies the scope of the amendments in ASU 2016-13. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments," which is intended to clarify this guidance. Additionally, inIn May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief," which provides an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which is intended to clarify Codification guidance. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (SEC Update)," and in March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, "Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments." These updates amend certain sections of the guidance. We currently have only a small balance of loans receivable that are not carried at fair value and would be subject to this new guidance for allowance for credit losses. Separately, we accountaccounted for our available-for-sale securities under the other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") model for debt securities.securities prior to the issuance of this new guidance. This new guidance requires that credit impairments on our available-for-sale securities be recorded in earnings using an allowance for credit losses, with the allowance limited to the amount by which the security's fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. Subsequent reversals in credit loss estimates are recognized in income. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2020, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This new guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, "Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)."

Certain of our derivatives and short-term debt are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. Under GAAP, in certain circumstances we may elect to present certain financial assets, liabilities and related collateral subject to master netting arrangements in a net position on our consolidated balance sheets.

(1)Amounts presented in these columns are limited in total to the net amount of assets or liabilities presented in the prior column by instrument. In certain cases, there is excess cash collateral or financial assets we have pledged to a counterparty (which may, in certain circumstances, be a clearinghouse) that exceed the financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Additionally, in certain cases, counterparties may have pledged excess cash collateral to us that exceeds our corresponding financial assets. In each case, any of these excess amounts are excluded from the table although they are separately reported in our consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, respectively.
(2)Interest rate agreements and TBAs are components of derivatives instruments on our consolidated balance sheets. Loan warehouse debt, which is secured by certain residential and business purpose residential loans, and security repurchase agreements are components of Short-term debt and Long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.

(1)Amounts presented in these columns are limited in total to the net amount of assets or liabilities presented in the prior column by instrument. In certain cases, there is excess cash collateral or financial assets we have pledged to a counterparty (which may, in certain circumstances, be a clearinghouse) that exceed the financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Additionally, in certain cases, counterparties may have pledged excess cash collateral to us that exceeds our corresponding financial assets. In each case, any of these excess amounts are excluded from the table although they are separately reported in our consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, respectively.
(2)Interest rate agreements and TBAs are components of derivatives instruments on our consolidated balance sheets. Loan warehouse debt, which is secured by residential mortgage loans, and security repurchase agreements are components of Short-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.
For each category of financial instrument set forth in the table above, the assets and liabilities resulting from individual transactions within that category between us and a counterparty are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement with that counterparty that provides for individual transactions to be aggregated and treated as a single transaction. For certain categories of these instruments, some of our transactions are cleared and settled through one or more clearinghouses that are substituted as our counterparty. References herein to master netting arrangements or similar agreements include the arrangements and agreements governing the clearing and settlement of these transactions through the clearinghouses. In the event of the termination and close-out of any of those transactions, the corresponding master netting agreement or similar agreement provides for settlement on a net basis. Any such settlement would include the proceeds of the liquidation of any corresponding collateral, subject to certain limitations on termination, settlement, and liquidation of collateral that may apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a party. Such limitations should not inhibit the eventual practical realization of the principal benefits of those transactions or the corresponding master netting arrangement or similar agreement and any corresponding collateral.
Note 4. Principles of Consolidation
GAAP requires us to consider whether securitizations we sponsor and other transfers of financial assets should be treated as sales or financings, as well as whether any VIEs that we hold variable interests in – for example, certain legal entities often used in securitization and other structured finance transactions – should be included in our consolidated financial statements. The GAAP principles we apply require us to reassess our requirement to consolidate VIEs each quarter and therefore our determination may change based upon new facts and circumstances pertaining to each VIE. This could result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements during subsequent reporting periods.

Analysis of Consolidated VIEs
At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we consolidated our Legacy Sequoia, and Sequoia Choice securitization entities that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. Additionally, beginning in the second half of 2018, we consolidated certainFreddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series and SLSTCAFL securitization entities that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. Each of these entities is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities of these entities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of ours. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have retained, although for the consolidated Sequoia and CAFL entities we are exposed to certain financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor, servicing administrator, or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the estimated fair value of our investments in the consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia Choice, Freddie Mac SLST, and Freddie Mac K-Series and CAFL entities was $10$6 million, $259$204 million, $456$336 million, $25 million, and $215$206 million, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2020, we sold subordinate securities issued by four of these Freddie Mac K-Series securitization trusts and determined that we should derecognize the associated assets and liabilities of each of these entities for financial reporting purposes. We deconsolidated $3.86 billion of multifamily loans and other assets and $3.72 billion of multifamily ABS issued and other liabilities, for which we realized market valuation losses of $72 million, which were recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, we consolidated 2 Servicing Investment entities formed to invest in servicing-related assets that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we held an 80% ownership interest in, and were responsible for the management of, each entity. See Note 10 for a further description of these entities and the investments they hold and Note 12 for additional information on the minority partner’s interest. Additionally, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, we consolidated an entity that was formed to finance servicer advances that we determined was a VIE and for which we, through our control of one of the aforementioned partnerships, were the primary beneficiary. The servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, secured by servicer advances. We consolidate the securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. See Note 13 for additional information on the servicer advance financing. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the estimated fair value of our investment in the Servicing Investment entities was $75$68 million.

Our involvement in consolidated Sequoia and CAFL entities continues in the following ways: (i) we continue to hold subordinate investments in each entity, and for certain entities, more senior investments; (ii) we maintain certain discretionary rights associated with our sponsorship of, or our subordinate investments in, each entity; and (iii) we continue to hold a right to call the assets of certain entities (once they have been paid down below a specified threshold) at a price equal to, or in excess of, the current outstanding principal amount of the entity’s asset-backed securities issued. These factors have resulted in our continuing to consolidate the assets and liabilities of these Sequoia and CAFL entities in accordance with GAAP.
We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and SLST securitization trusts resulting from our investment in subordinate securities issued by these trusts.trusts, and in the case of certain CAFL securitizations, resulting from securities acquired through our acquisition of CoreVest. Additionally, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of Servicing Investment entities from our investment in servicer advance investments and excess MSRs. In each case, we maintain certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of these investments that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest, as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and the right to receive benefits of and the obligation to absorb losses from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs.

Analysis of Unconsolidated VIEs with Continuing Involvement
Since 2012, we have transferred residential loans to 4651 Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, and accounted for these transfers as sales for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with ASC 860. We also determined we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we lacked the power to direct the activities that will have the most significant economic impact on the entities. For certain of these transfers to securitization entities, for the transferred loans where we held the servicing rights prior to the transfer and continued to hold the servicing rights following the transfer, we recorded mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") on our consolidated balance sheets, and classified those MSRs as Level 3 assets. We also retained senior and subordinate securities in these securitizations that we classified as Level 3 assets. Our continuing involvement in these securitizations is limited to customary servicing obligations associated with retaining servicing rights (which we retain a third-party sub-servicer to perform) and the receipt of interest income associated with the securities we retained.
During the first quarter of 2019, the master servicer for one of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities exercised their right to call the securitization and paid off the underlying securities. We realized a $4 million gain related to the called securities, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income. In connection with this called securitization, Redwood acquired $39 million of residential real estate loans that were subsequently sold or were held in our held-for-investment portfolio at Redwood at September 30, 2019.

Analysis of Unconsolidated Third-Party VIEs
Third-party VIEs are securitization entities in which we maintain an economic interest, but do not sponsor. Our economic interest may include several securities and other investments from the same third-party VIE, and in those cases, the analysis is performed in consideration of all of our interests. The following table presents a summary of our interests in third-party VIEs at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, grouped by asset type.

We determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these third-party VIEs, as we do not have the required power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Specifically, we do not service or manage these entities or otherwise solely hold decision making powers that are significant. As a result of this assessment, we do not consolidate any of the underlying assets and liabilities of these third-party VIEs – we only account for our specific interests in them.
Our assessments of whether we are required to consolidate a VIE may change in subsequent reporting periods based upon changing facts and circumstances pertaining to each VIE. Any related accounting changes could result in a material impact to our financial statements.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For financial reporting purposes, we follow a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., our own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.
In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

(2)Represents the estimated average duration of outstanding servicer advances at a given point in time (not taking into account new advances made with respect to the pool).
(3)As a market convention, certain securities are priced to a no-loss yield and therefore do not include default and loss severity assumptions.
(4)The weighted average input values for all loan types are based on the unpaid principal balance. The weighted average input values for all other assets and liabilities are based on relative fair value.
Determination of Fair Value
A description of the instruments measured at fair value as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 valuation hierarchy is listed herein. We generally use both market comparable information and discounted cash flow modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant inputsinput and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs as indicated in the preceding table. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs - such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, interest rates, or other valuation assumptions - in isolation would likely result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)


Residential loansIncluded in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 is a more detailed description of our financial instruments measured at Redwood
Estimated fair values for residential loans are determined using models that incorporate various observable inputs, including pricing information from whole loan salesvalue and securitizations. Certaintheir significant inputs, in these models are considered unobservable and are therefore Level 3 in nature. Pricing inputs obtained from market whole loan transaction activity include indicative spreads to indexed to be announced ("TBA") prices and indexed swap rates for fixed-rate loans and indexed swap rates for hybrid loans (Level 3). Pricing inputs obtained from market securitization activity include indicative spreads to indexed TBA prices for senior residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") and indexed swap rates for subordinate RMBS, and credit support levels (Level 3). Other unobservable inputs also include assumed future prepayment rates. Observable inputs include benchmark interest rates, swap rates, and TBA prices. These assets would generally decrease in value based upon an increase in the credit spread, prepayment speed, or credit support assumptions.
Residential and multifamily loans at consolidated entities
We have elected to account for our consolidated securitization entities as CFEs in accordance with GAAP. A CFE is a variable interest entity that holds financial assets and issues beneficial interests in those assets, and these beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. Accounting guidance for CFEs allow companies to elect to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of a CFE using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets or fair value of the financial liabilities. Pursuant to this guidance, we use the fair value of the ABS issued by the CFEs (which we determined to be more observable) to determine the fair value of the loans held at these entities, whereby the net assets we consolidate in our financial statements related to these entities represent the estimated fair value of our retained interests in the CFEs. 
Business purpose residential loans
Business purpose residential loans include single-family rental loans and residential bridge loans that are generally illiquid in nature and trade infrequently. Significant inputs in the valuation analysis are predominantly Level 3 in nature, due to the lack of readily available market quotes and related inputs.
Prices for our single-family rental loans are determined using market comparable information. Significant inputs obtained from market activity include indicative spreads to indexed swap rates for senior and subordinate mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), IO MBS discount rates, senior credit support levels, and assumed future prepayment rates (Level 3). These assets would generally decrease in value based upon an increase in the credit spread or prepayment speed assumptions.
Prices for our residential bridge loans are determined using discounted cash flow modeling, which incorporates a primary significant unobservable input of discount rate. These assets would generally decrease in value based upon an increase in the discount rate.
Real estate securities
Real estate securities include residential, multifamily, and other mortgage-backed securities that are generally illiquid in nature and trade infrequently. Significant inputs in the valuation analysis are predominantly Level 3 in nature, due to the lack of readily available market quotes and related inputs. For real estate securities, we utilize both market comparable pricing and discounted cash flow analysis valuation techniques. Relevant market indicators that are factored into the analysis include bid/ask spreads, the amount and timing of credit losses, interest rates, and collateral prepayment rates. Estimated fair values are based on applying the market indicators to generate discounted cash flows (Level 3). These cash flow models use significant unobservable inputs such as a discount rate, prepayment rate, default rate and loss severity. The estimated fair value of our securities would generally decrease based upon an increase in discount rate, default rates, loss severities, or a decrease in prepayment rates.
As part of our securities valuation process, we request and consider indications of value from third-party securities dealers. For purposes of pricing our securities at September 30, 2019, we received dealer price indications on 83% of our securities, representing 95% of our carrying value. In the aggregate, our internal valuations of the securities for which we received dealer price indications were within 1% of the aggregate average dealer valuations. Once we receive the price indications from dealers, they are compared to other relevant market inputs, such as actual or comparable trades, and the results of our discounted cash flow analysis. In circumstances where relevant market inputs cannot be obtained, increased reliance on discounted cash flow analysis and management judgment are required to estimate fair value.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)


Derivative assets and liabilities
Our derivative instruments include swaps, swaptions, TBAs, loan purchase commitments ("LPCs"), and forward sale commitments ("FSCs"). Fair values of derivative instruments are determined using quoted prices from active markets, when available, or from valuation models and are supported by valuations provided by dealers active in derivative markets. Fair values of TBAs and financial futures are generally obtained using quoted prices from active markets (Level 1). Our derivative valuation models for swaps and swaptions require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates, and correlations of certain inputs. Model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment (Level 2).
LPC and FSC fair values for residential jumbo and single-family rental loans are estimated based on the estimated fair values of the underlying loans (as described in "Residential loans at Redwood" and "Business purpose residential loans" above). In addition, fair values for LPCs are estimated based on the probability that the mortgage loan will be purchased (the "Pull-through rate") (Level 3).
For other derivatives, valuations are based on various factors such as liquidity, bid/ask spreads, and credit considerations for which we rely on available market inputs. In the absence of such inputs, management’s best estimate is used (Level 3).
Servicer advance investments
Estimated fair values for servicer advance investments are determined through internal pricing models that estimate future cash flows and utilize certain significant inputs that are considered unobservable and are therefore Level 3 in nature. Our estimations of cash flows include the combined cash flows of all of the components that comprise the servicer advance investments: existing advances, the requirement to purchase future advances, the recovery of advances, and the right to a portion of the associated mortgage servicing fee ("mortgage servicing income"). The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included prepayment rate (of the loans underlying the investments), mortgage servicing income, servicer advance WAL (the weighted-average expected remaining life of servicer advances), and discount rate. These assets would generally decrease in value based upon an increase in prepayment rates, an increase in servicer advance WAL, or an increase in discount rate, or a decrease in mortgage servicing income.
MSRs
MSRs include the rights to service jumbo residential mortgage loans. Significant inputs in the valuation analysis are predominantly Level 3, due to the nature of these instruments and the lack of readily available market quotes. Changes in the fair value of MSRs occur primarily due to the collection/realization of expected cash flows, as well as changes in valuation inputsthe general classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and assumptions. Estimated fair values are based on applying the inputs to generate the net present value of estimated future MSR income (Level 3). These discounted cash flow models utilize certain significant unobservable inputs including market discount rates, assumed future prepayment rates of serviced loans, and the market cost of servicing. An increase in these unobservable inputs would generally reduce the estimated fair value of the MSRs.
As part of our MSR valuation process, we received a valuation estimate from a third-party valuations firm. In the aggregate, our internal valuation of the MSRs were within 5% of the third-party valuation.
Excess MSRs
Estimated fair values for excess MSRs are determined through internal pricing models that estimate future cash flows and utilize certain significant inputs that are considered unobservable and are therefore Level 3 in nature. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included prepayment rate (of the loans underlying the investments), the amount of excess servicing income expected to be received ("excess mortgage servicing income"), and discount rate. These assets would generally decrease in value based upon an increase in prepayment rates or discount rate, or a decrease in excess mortgage servicing income.hierarchy.

Shared Home Appreciation Options
Estimated fair values for shared home appreciation options are determined through internal pricing models that estimate future cash flows and utilize certain significant inputs such as forecasted home price appreciation, prepayment rates, and discount rate. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. An increase in discount rate, or a decrease in expected future home values combined with a decrease in prepayment rates, would generally reduce the estimated fair value of the shared home appreciation options (Level 3).
FHLBC stock
Our Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") member subsidiary is required to purchase FHLBC stock under a borrowing agreement between our FHLB-member subsidiary and the FHLBC. Under this agreement, the stock is redeemable at face value, which represents the carrying value and fair value of the stock (Level 2).
Guarantee asset
The guarantee asset represents the estimated fair value of cash flows we are contractually entitled to receive related to a risk-sharing arrangement with Fannie Mae. Significant inputs in the valuation analysis are Level 3, due to the nature of this asset and the lack of market quotes. The fair value of the guarantee asset is determined using a discounted cash flow model, for which significant unobservable inputs include assumed future prepayment rates and market discount rate (Level 3). An increase in prepayment rates or discount rate would generally reduce the estimated fair value of the guarantee asset.
Pledged collateral
Pledged collateral consists of cash and U.S. Treasury securities held by a custodian in association with certain agreements we have entered into. Treasury securities are carried at their fair value, which is determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Fair values equal carrying values (Level 1).
Restricted cash
Restricted cash primarily includes interest-earning cash balances related to risk-sharing transactions with the Agencies, cash held in association with borrowings from the FHLBC, cash held at Servicing Investment entities, and cash held at consolidated Sequoia entities for the purpose of distribution to investors and reinvestment. Due to the short-term nature of the restrictions, fair values approximate carrying values (Level 1).
Accrued interest receivable and payable
Accrued interest receivable and payable includes interest due on our assets and payable on our liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of when these interest payments will be received or paid, fair values approximate carrying values (Level 1).
Real estate owned
Real estate owned ("REO") includes properties owned in satisfaction of foreclosed loans. Fair values are determined using available market quotes, appraisals, broker price opinions, comparable properties, or other indications of value (Level 3).
Margin receivable
Margin receivable reflects cash collateral we have posted with our various derivative and debt counterparties as required to satisfy margin requirements. Fair values approximate carrying values (Level 2).

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)


Contingent consideration
Contingent consideration is related to our acquisition of 5 Arches and is estimated and recorded at fair value as part of purchase consideration. Each reporting period we estimate the change in fair value of the contingent consideration, and such change is recognized in our consolidated statements of income, unless it is determined to be a measurement period adjustment. The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration requires significant judgment and assumptions to be made about future operating results, discount rates, and probabilities of projected operating result scenarios (Level 3).
Short-term debt
Short-term debt includes our credit facilities for residential and business purpose residential loans and real estate securities as well as non-recourse short-term borrowings used to finance servicer advance investments. As these borrowings are secured and subject to margin calls and as the rates on these borrowings reset frequently to market rates, we believe that carrying values approximate fair values (Level 2).
ABS issued
ABS issued includes asset-backed securities issued through the Legacy Sequoia and Sequoia Choice securitization entities, as well as securities issued by certain third-party Freddie Mac SLST and K-series securitization entities which we consolidate. These instruments are generally illiquid in nature and trade infrequently. Significant inputs in the valuation analysis are predominantly Level 3, due to the nature of these instruments and the lack of readily available market quotes. For ABS issued, we utilize both market comparable pricing and discounted cash flow analysis valuation techniques. Relevant market indicators factored into the analysis include bid/ask spreads, the amount and timing of collateral credit losses, interest rates, and collateral prepayment rates. Estimated fair values are based on applying the market indicators to generate discounted cash flows (Level 3). These cash flow models use significant unobservable inputs such as a discount rates, prepayment rate, default rate, loss severity and credit support. A decrease in credit losses or discount rate, or an increase in prepayment rates, would generally cause the fair value of the ABS issued to decrease (i.e., become a larger liability).
FHLBC borrowings
FHLBC borrowings include amounts borrowed from the FHLBC that are secured, generally by residential mortgage loans. As these borrowings are secured and subject to margin calls and as the rates on these borrowings reset frequently to market rates, we believe that carrying values approximate fair values (Level 2).
Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost
Participation in loan warehouse facility
Our participation in a loan warehouse facility was carried at amortized cost (Level 2).
Guarantee obligations
In association with our risk-sharing transactions with the Agencies, we have made certain guarantees which are carried on our balance sheet at amortized cost (Level 3).
Subordinate securities financing facility
Borrowings under our subordinate securities financing facility are secured by real estate securities and carried at unpaid principal balance net of any unamortized deferred issuance costs (Level 3).
Convertible notes
Convertible notes include unsecured convertible and exchangeable senior notes that are carried at their unpaid principal balance net of any unamortized deferred issuance costs. The fair value of the convertible notes is determined using quoted prices in generally active markets (Level 2).

We often purchase AFS securities at a discount to their outstanding principal balances. To the extent we purchase an AFS security that has a likelihood of incurring a loss, we do not amortize into income the portion of the purchase discount that we do not expect to collect due to the inherent credit risk of the security. We may also expense a portion of our investment in the security to the extent we believe that principal losses will exceed the purchase discount. We designate any amount of unpaid principal balance that we do not expect to receive and thus do not expect to earn or recover as a credit reserve on the security. Any remaining net unamortized discounts or premiums on the security are amortized into income over time using the effective yield method.

Evaluating AFS Securities for Other-than-Temporary ImpairmentsCredit Losses
Gross unrealized losses on our AFS securities were less than $0.1$4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2019. We2020. Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" in the first quarter of 2020, we evaluate all securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporarycredit-related (resulting in an OTTI)allowance for credit losses recorded in earnings) or non-credit-related (resulting in an unrealized loss through other comprehensive income). At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we did not intend to sell any of our AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at their maturity. We review our AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position to identify those securities with losses that are other-than-temporary based on an assessment of changes in expected cash flows for such securities, which considers recent security performance and expected future performance of the underlying collateral.

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no other-than-temporary impairments2020, our allowance for credit losses related to our AFS securities.securities was $1 million. AFS securities for which OTTIan allowance is recognized have experienced, or are expected to experience, credit-related adverse cash flow changes. In determining our estimate of cash flows for AFS securities we may consider factors such as structural credit enhancement, past and expected future performance of underlying mortgage loans, including timing of expected future cash flows, which are informed by prepayment rates, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing loans, FICO scores at loan origination, year of origination, loan-to-value ratios, and geographic concentrations, as well as general market assessments. Changes in our evaluation of these factors impacted the cash flows expected to be collected at the OTTI assessment date and were used to determine if there were credit-related adverse cash flows and if so, the amount of credit related losses. Significant judgment is used in both our analysis of the expected cash flows for our AFS securities and any determination of thesecurity credit loss component of OTTI.losses.

Servicer advance investments
In 2018, we and a third-party co-investor, through two partnerships (“SA Buyers”) consolidated by us, purchased the outstanding servicer advances and excess MSRs related to a portfolio of legacy residential mortgage-backed securitizations serviced by the co-investor (See Note 4(Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information regarding the transaction). During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we funded additional purchases of outstanding servicer advances and excess MSRs under the same partnership structure. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had funded $71$94 million of total capital to the SA Buyers (see Note 16 for additional detail).
Our servicer advance investments (owned by the consolidated SA Buyers) are comprised of outstanding servicer advance receivables, the requirement to purchase all future servicer advances made with respect to a specified pool of residential mortgage loans, and a portion of the mortgage servicing fees from the underlying loan pool. A portion of the remaining mortgage servicing fees from the underlying loan pool are paid directly to the third-party servicer for the performance of servicing duties and a portion is paid to excess MSRs that we own as a separate investment. We hold our servicer advance investments at our taxable REIT subsidiary.
Servicer advances are non-interest bearing and are a customary feature of residential mortgage securitization transactions. Servicer advances are generally reimbursable cash payments made by a servicer when the borrower fails to make scheduled payments due on a residential mortgage loan or to support the value of the collateral property. Servicer advances typically fall into three categories:
Principal and Interest Advances: cash payments made by the servicer to cover scheduled principal and interest payments on a residential mortgage loan that have not been paid on a timely basis by the borrower.
Escrow Advances (Taxes and Insurance Advances): Cash payments made by the servicer to third parties on behalf of the borrower for real estate taxes and insurance premiums on the property that have not been paid on a timely basis by the borrower.
Corporate Advances: Cash payments made by the servicer to third parties for the reimbursable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foreclosure, preservation and sale of the mortgaged property, including attorneys’ and other professional fees.
Servicer advances are generally permitted to be repaid from amounts received with respect to the related residential mortgage loan, including payments from the borrower or amounts received from the liquidation of the property securing the loan. Residential mortgage servicing agreements generally require a servicer to make advances in respect of serviced residential mortgage loans unless the servicer determines in good faith that the advance would not be ultimately recoverable from the proceeds of the related residential mortgage loan or the mortgaged property.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
To manage the variability in interest expense related to portions of our long-term debt and certain adjustable-rate securitization entity liabilities that are included in our consolidated balance sheets for financial reporting purposes, we designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges.
During the first quarter of 2020, we terminated and settled all of our outstanding derivatives that had been designated as cash flow hedges for our long-term debt, with an aggregate notional balancea payment of $140$84 million. For interest rate agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income was $83 million and $51 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We will amortize this loss into interest expense over the remaining term of the trust preferred securities and subordinated notes. As of June 30, 2020, we expect to amortize $4 million of realized losses related to terminated cash flow hedges into interest expense over the next twelve months.
For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, changes in the values of designated cash flow hedges were negative $12 million0 and negative $27$33 million, respectively, and were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, changes in the values of designated cash flow hedges were positive $5negative $10 million and positive $17negative $15 million, respectively, and were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity. For interest rate agreements currently or previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income was $61 million and $34 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Note 14. Asset-Backed Securities Issued
Through our Sequoia securitization program, we sponsor securitization transactions in which securities backed by residential mortgage loans (ABS) are issued by Sequoia entities. We consolidated the Legacy Sequoia and Sequoia Choice securitization entities, and beginning in 2018, certain third-party Freddie Mac K-Series and SLST securitization entities, that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. Each consolidated securitization entity is independentThe carrying values of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have retained, although we are exposed to certain financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor, servicing administrator, or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.
We account for the ABS issued under our consolidated entities at fair value, with periodic changes in fair value recorded in Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. Pursuant to the CFE guidelines, the market valuation changes on our loans are based on the estimated fair value of the associated ABS issued.

Our FHLB-member subsidiary's existing $2.00 billion of FHLB debt, which matures beyond this transition period, is permitted to remain outstanding until its stated maturity. As residential loans pledged as collateral for this debt pay down, we are permitted to pledge additional loans or other eligible assets to collateralize this debt; however, we do not expect to be able to increase our subsidiary's FHLB debt above the existing $2.00 billion maximum.

During the first quarter of 2019,six months ended June 30, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases," which required us to recognize a lease liabilityentered into 3 new office leases and determined that was equal to the present value of our remaining lease payments of $15 million discounted at various incremental borrowing rates, and a right-of-use asset, which was equal to our lease liability adjusted for our deferred rent liability. We elected to apply the new guidance using the optional transition method, which permits lessees to measure the lease liability and right-of-use asset at January 1, 2019, without adjusting the comparative periods presented. We elected the package of practical expedients under the transition guidance within this standard, which allowed us to carry forward the classifications of each of our 4 existingthese leases qualified as operating leases and to continue to expense lease payments on a straight-line basis. As 1 of our operating leases qualifies for the short-term lease exception under this guidance, we will continue to account for this lease under legacy GAAP and did not include this lease in our calculation of the lease liability and right-of-use asset.leases. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our lease liability was $13$17 million, which was a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities, and our right-of-use asset was $11$16 million, which was a component of Other assets.assets.

We determined that the 4 remainingnone of our leases did not containcontained an implicit interest rate and used a discount rate equal to our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis to determine the present value of our total lease payments. As such, we determined the applicable discount rate for each of our leases using a swap rate plus an applicable spread for borrowing arrangements secured by our real estate loans and securities for a length of time equal to the remaining lease term on the date of adoption. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our leases was 8 years and 5.3%5.0%, respectively.
Commitment to Fund Residential Bridge Loans
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had commitments to fund $67up to $167 million of additional advances on existing residential bridge loans. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the customer and other terms regarding advances that must be met before we fund the commitment. At June 30, 2020, we recorded a $2 million derivative liability related to these commitments to fund construction advances (see Note 7 for additional detail). We may also advance funds related to loans sold under a separate loan sale agreement that are generally repaid immediately by the loan purchaser and do not generally expose us to loss (outstandingloss. The outstanding commitments related to these loans that we may temporarily fund totaled approximately $65$20 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2019).2020.
Commitment to Fund Partnerships
In the fourth quarter of 2018, we invested in 2 partnerships created to acquire and manage certain mortgage servicing related assets (see Note 10 for additional detail). In connection with this investment, we are required to fund future net servicer advances related to the underlying mortgage loans. The actual amount of net servicer advances we may fund in the future is subject to significant uncertainty and will be based on the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans.

In the first quarter of 2019, we invested in a partnership created to acquire floating rate, light-renovation multifamily loans from Freddie Mac (see Note 10 for additional detail). At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had an outstanding commitment to fund an additional $49$8 million to the partnership. Additionally, in connection with this transaction, we have made a guarantee to Freddie Mac in the event of losses incurred on the loans that exceed the equity available in the partnership to absorb such losses. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the carrying value of this guarantee was $0.1 million. We believe the likelihood of performance under the guarantee is remote. Our maximum loss exposure from this guarantee arrangement is $135 million.million less the value of securities collateralizing our partner's portion of the partnership's guarantee obligations.
5 Arches Contingent Consideration
As part of the consideration for our acquisition of 5 Arches, we arewere committed to make earn-out payments up to $27$29 million, payable in a mix of cash and Redwood common stock, which will be calculated following each of the first two anniversaries of the option closing date based on loan origination volumes exceeding certain specified thresholds.stock. These contingent earn-out payments arewere classified as a contingent consideration liability and carried at fair value. At September 30, 2019, our estimated fair value prior to March 31, 2020. During the first quarter of this2020, we made a cash payment of $11 million and granted $3 million of Redwood common stock in connection with the first anniversary of the purchase date. Additionally, as a result of an amendment to the agreement, we reclassified the contingent liability was $25 million. Forto a deferred liability, as the three and nine months ended Septemberremaining payments became payable on a set timetable without any remaining contingencies.

Commitment to Fund Shared Home Appreciation Options
In the third quarter of 2019, we entered into a flow purchase agreement to acquire shared home appreciation options. The counterparty purchases an option to buy a fractional interest in a homeowner's ownership interest in his or her realresidential property, and subsequently the counterparty sells the option contract to us. Pursuant to the terms of the option contract, we are able to share in both home price appreciation and depreciation. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had acquired $11$47 million of shared home appreciation options under this agreement, which are included in Other Investmentsinvestments on our consolidated balance sheets.

Loss Contingencies — Risk-Sharing
During 2015 and 2016, we sold conforming loans to the Agencies with an original unpaid principal balance of $3.19 billion, subject to our risk-sharing arrangements with the Agencies. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these arrangements was $44 million and this amount was fully collateralized by assets we transferred to pledged accounts and is presented as pledged collateral in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We have no recourse to any third parties that would allow us to recover any amounts related to our obligations under the arrangements. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had not incurred any losses under these arrangements. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, other income related to these arrangements was $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and net market valuation losses related to these investments were $0.1$0.2 million and $0.2$0.7 million, respectively. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, other income related to these arrangements was $1 million and $3 million, respectively,for both periods, and net market valuation losses related to these investments were $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.for both periods.
All of the loans in the reference pools subject to these risk-sharing arrangements were originated in 2014 and 2015, and at SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the loans had an unpaid principal balance of $1.66$1.30 billion and a weighted average FICO score of 759758 (at origination) and LTV ratio of 76% (at origination). At SeptemberJune 30, 2019, $72020, $17 million of the loans were 90 days or more delinquent, and 0ne of which $2 millionthese loans were in foreclosure. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the carrying value of our guarantee obligation was $15$12 million and included $5 million designated as a non-amortizing credit reserve, which we believe is sufficient to cover current expected losses under these obligations.

Our consolidated balance sheets include assets of special purpose entities ("SPEs") associated with these risk-sharing arrangements (i.e., the "pledged collateral" referred to above) that can only be used to settle obligations of these SPEs for which the creditors of these SPEs (the Agencies) do not have recourse to Redwood Trust, Inc. or its affiliates. At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, assets of such SPEs totaled $48$47 million and $47$48 million, respectively, and liabilities of such SPEs totaled $15$12 million and $17$14 million, respectively.
Loss Contingencies — Residential Repurchase Reserve
We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties and for conforming residential loans associated with MSRs that we have purchased from third parties. We do not originate residential loans and we believe the initial risk of loss due to loan repurchases (i.e., due to a breach of representations and warranties) would generally be a contingency to the companies from whom we acquired the loans. However, in some cases, for example, where loans were acquired from companies that have since become insolvent, repurchase claims may result in our being liable for a repurchase obligation. Additionally, for certain loans we sold during the second quarter of 2020 that were previously held for investment, we have a direct obligation to repurchase these loans in the event of any early payment defaults (or EPDs) by the underlying mortgage borrowers within certain specified periods following the sales.
At both SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, our repurchase reserve associated with our residential loans and MSRs was $8 million and $4 million, respectively, and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The increase in the repurchase reserve during the second quarter of 2020 was related to potential repurchase obligations related to EPDs arising from loans we sold during the last several months.
We received 105 and 7 repurchase requests during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and did 0t repurchase any loans during this period.either of these periods. During both the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, we recorded repurchase provisions of $4 million and reversals of repurchase provisions of $0.2$0.4 million, respectively, that were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net and Other income net on our consolidated statements of income.income (loss).

(“SRF”), Morgan Stanley & Co., and Morgan Stanley Capital I, Inc. (collectively,year ended December 31, 2019 under the “FHLB-Seattle Defendants”), which alleged thatheading “Loss Contingencies - Litigation.” At June 30, 2020, the FHLB-Seattle Defendants made false or misleading statements in offering materials for a mortgage pass-through certificate (the “Seattle Certificate”) issued in the Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2005-4 securitization transaction (the “2005-4 RMBS”) and purchased by the FHLB-Seattle. The Seattle Certificate was issued with an original principalaggregate amount of approximately $133 million, and, at September 30, 2019, approximately $128 million of principal and $12 million of interest payments had been madeloss contingency reserves established in respect of the Seattle Certificate. The matter was subsequently resolvedFHLB-Seattle and the claims were dismissed by the FHLB Seattle as to all the FHLB Seattle Defendants. At the time the Seattle Certificate was issued, Redwood agreed to indemnify the underwriters of the 2005-4 RMBS, which underwriters were named as defendantsSchwab litigation matters described in the action, for certain losses and expenses they might incur as a result of claims made against them relating to this RMBS, including, without limitation, certain legal expenses. Regardless of the resolution of this litigation, we could incur a loss as a result of these indemnities.
On or about July 15, 2010, The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”) filed a complaint in the Superior Courtour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the State of California in San Francisco (case number CGC-10-501610) against SRF and 26 other defendants (collectively, the “Schwab Defendants”), which alleged that the Schwab Defendants made false or misleading statements in offering materials for various residential mortgage-backed securities sold or issued by the Schwab Defendants. Schwab alleged only a claim for negligent misrepresentation under California state law against SRF and sought unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees and costs from SRF. Schwab claimed that SRF made false or misleading statements in offering materials for a mortgage pass-through certificate (the “Schwab Certificate”) issued in the 2005-4 RMBS and purchased by Schwab. The Schwab Certificateyear ended December 31, 2019 was issued with an original principal amount of approximately $15 million, and, at September 30, 2019, approximately $14 million of principal and $1 million of interest payments had been made in respect of the Schwab Certificate. On November 14, 2014, Schwab voluntarily dismissed with prejudice its negligent misrepresentation claim, which resulted in the dismissal with prejudice of SRF from the action. Subsequently, the matter was resolved and Schwab dismissed its claims against the lead underwriter of the 2005-4 RMBS. At the time the Schwab Certificate was issued, Redwood agreed to indemnify the underwriters of the 2005-4 RMBS, which underwriters were also named as defendants in the action, for certain losses and expenses they might incur as a result of claims made against them relating to this RMBS, including, without limitation, certain legal expenses.

ThroughIn addition to those matters, as previously disclosed, in connection with the impact of the effects of the pandemic on the non-Agency mortgage finance market and on our business and operations, a small number of the counterparties that have regularly sold residential mortgage loans to us believe that we breached perceived obligations to them, and requested or demanded that we purchase loans from them and/or compensate them for perceived damages resulting from our decisions earlier in 2020 not to purchase certain loans from them (“Residential Loan Seller Demands”). As previously disclosed, one such counterparty filed a breach of contract lawsuit against us alleging that it has suffered in excess of $2 million of losses as a result of our wholly-owned subsidiaries,alleged failure to purchase residential mortgage loans from it.
We believe that these Residential Loan Seller Demands are without merit or subject to defenses and we intend to defend vigorously any such allegations and any related demand or claim to which we are or become a party. Despite our beliefs about the legal merits of these allegations, because our ordinary course of business is to seek to continue to regularly engage in mutually beneficial transactions with these counterparties, in some cases we have been willing to engage in discussions with these counterparties with the past engaged in,intention of reaching resolution and expectstructuring arrangements that incentivize both the counterparty and us to continue to engage in activities relatingresidential loan purchase and sale transactions in the future.
With respect to certain of the Residential Loan Seller Demands, these resolution discussions have been successful in resolving, or establishing a framework that we believe will be the basis for successfully resolving, the demands of these counterparties, including through forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements that incentivize both the counterparty and us to continue to engage in residential loan purchase and sale transactions in the future. With respect to these counterparties, we have incurred or expect to incur certain costs in connection with finalizing these arrangements (including costs that are contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with these counterparties that we expect to generate future revenue for the Company) and have recorded any such actual costs incurred through June 30, 2020, as well as an accrual for the estimated costs associated with counterparties where a go-forward framework has been discussed but not finalized, through Mortgage Banking Activities, net in our Residential Lending segment. In accordance with GAAP, the accrual for estimated costs is based on the opinion of management, that it is probable that these forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements will result in an expense and the amount of expense can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of these actual costs, together with the accrual for estimated costs, was $5 million, a significant portion of which would be contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with these counterparties, with the expectation of generating future revenue for the Company.
With respect to the acquisitionremaining Residential Loan Seller Demands, our beliefs about the legal merits of these allegations and securitizationour discussions with these counterparties have resulted in us determining that a significant loss from these matters is not probable. With respect to these remaining Residential Loan Seller Demands, based on the foregoing, we have concluded that we can estimate an aggregate range of residential mortgage loans. In addition, certainreasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demands of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have in the past engaged in activities relating to the acquisitionbetween 0 and securitization$1.5 million.
Future developments (including receipt of debt obligationsadditional information and other assets through the issuance of collateralized debt obligations (commonly referred to as CDO transactions). Because of this involvement in the securitization and CDO businesses, we could become the subject of litigationdocuments relating to these businesses, includingmatters, new or additional litigation of the type described above, and we could also become the subject of governmental investigations, enforcement actions,resolution or lawsuits, and governmental authorities could allege that we violated applicable law or regulation in the conduct of our business. As an example, in July 2016 we became aware of a complaint filed by the State of California on April 1, 2016 against Morgan Stanley & Co. and certain of its affiliates alleging, among other things, that there were misleading statements contained in offering materials for 28 different mortgage pass-through certificates purchased by various California investors, including various California public pension systems, from Morgan Stanley and alleging that Morgan Stanley made false or fraudulent claims in connection with the sale of those certificates. Of the 28 mortgage pass-through certificates that were the subject of the complaint, two were Sequoia mortgage pass-through certificates issued in 2004 and two were Sequoia mortgage pass-through certificates issued in 2007. With respect to each of those certificates, our wholly-owned subsidiary, RWT Holdings, Inc., was the sponsor and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc., was the depositor. The plaintiffs subsequently withdrew from the litigation their claims based on eight of the 28 mortgage pass-through certificates, including one of the Sequoia mortgage pass-through certificates issued in 2004. We believe this matter was subsequently resolved and the plaintiffs withdrew their remaining claims. At the time these Sequoia mortgage pass-through certificates were issued, Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc. and Redwood Trust agreed to indemnify the underwriters of these certificates for certain losses and expenses they might incur as a result of claims made against themsettlement communications relating to these certificates,matters, resolutions of similar claims against other industry participants in similar circumstances, or receipt of additional Residential Loan Seller Demands) could result in our concluding in the future to establish additional accruals or reserves or modify our aggregate range of reasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demand matters. Our actual losses, and any accruals or reserves we may establish in the future relating to these matters, may be materially higher than the accruals, reserves and the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses we have estimated above, respectively, including without limitation,in the event that any of these matters proceed to trial and result in a judgment against us. We cannot be certain legal expenses. Regardlessthat any of these matters that are not already formally resolved will be resolved through a resolution or settlement prior to trial and we cannot be certain that the resolution of this litigation, we could incurthese matters, whether through trial, settlement, or otherwise, will not have a loss as a resultmaterial adverse effect on our financial condition or results of these indemnities.operations in any future period.
In accordance with GAAP, we review the need for any loss contingency reserves and establish reserves when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that a matter would result in a liability and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, we record receivables for insurance recoveries relating to litigation-related losses and expenses if and when such amounts are covered by insurance and recovery of such losses or expenses are due. At September 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves established in respect of the FHLB-Seattle and Schwab litigation matters described above was $2 million. We review our litigation matters each quarter to assess these loss contingency reserves and make adjustments in these reserves, upwards or downwards, as appropriate, in accordance with GAAP based on our review.

The dividends paid deduction in the effective tax rate reconciliation is generally representative of the amount of distributions to shareholders that reduce REIT taxable income. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the dividends paid deduction is 0% due to our REIT incurring a taxable loss during the period; therefore, there was no REIT taxable income available to apply against the dividends paid.
We assessed our tax positions for all open tax years (i.e., Federal, 2016 to 2019,2020, and State, 20142015 to 2019)2020) at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, and concluded that we had no uncertain tax positions that resulted in material unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 25. Subsequent Events
On October 14, 2019, Redwood and RWT Holdings, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an equity interests purchase agreement with CF CoreVest Parent I LLC, CF CoreVest Parent II LLC and CoreVest Management Partners LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”), and members of the CoreVest management team, pursuant to which we acquired a 100% equity interest in CoreVest American Finance Lender LLC and several of its affiliates (“CoreVest”), an originator of business purpose residential loans. The acquisition included CoreVest’s operating platform and approximately $900 million of business purpose loans and securities, a significant portion of which we will hold for investment in our investment portfolio. The estimated aggregate purchase consideration for CoreVest is approximately $492 million, subject to a customary post-closing reconciliation, including a net book value adjustment.

Our Business
Redwood Trust, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a specialty finance company focused on making credit-sensitive investments in single-family residential and multifamily mortgages and related assets and engaging in mortgage banking activities. Our goal is to provide attractive returns to shareholders through a stable and growing stream of earnings and dividends, as well as through capital appreciation. We operate our business in twothree segments: Investment PortfolioResidential Lending, Business Purpose Lending, and Mortgage Banking. Our segments are based on our organizational and management structure, which aligns with how our results are monitored and performance is assessed.Third-Party Investments. For a full description of our segments, see Note 23 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1—Business in our Annual1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.10-Q.
Our primary sources of income are net interest income from our investment portfolio and non-interest income from our mortgage banking activities. Net interest income consists of the interest income we earn on investments less the interest expense we incur on borrowed funds and other liabilities. Income from mortgage banking activities is generated through the acquisition of loans and their subsequent sale or securitization.
Redwood Trust, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. We generally refer, collectively, to Redwood Trust, Inc. and those of its subsidiaries that are not subject to subsidiary-level corporate income tax as “the REIT” or “our REIT.” We generally refer to subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. that are subject to subsidiary-level corporate income tax as “our operating subsidiaries” or “our taxable REIT subsidiaries” or “TRS.” Our mortgage banking activities and investments in MSRs are generally carried out through our taxable REIT subsidiaries, while our portfolio of mortgage- and other real estate-related investments is primarily held at our REIT. We generally intend to retain profits generated and taxed at our taxable REIT subsidiaries, and to distribute as dividends at least 90% of the taxable income we generate at our REIT.
Redwood Trust, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Maryland on April 11, 1994, and commenced operations on August 19, 1994. Our executive offices are located at One Belvedere Place, Suite 300, Mill Valley, California 94941.

Many of the factors that could affect our actual results are summarized below. One of the most significant factors, however, is the ongoing impact of the pandemic on the United States economy, homeowners, renters of housing, the housing market, the mortgage finance markets and the broader financial markets. It is difficult to fully assess the impact of the pandemic at this time, including because of the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the pandemic domestically and internationally, as well as the uncertainty around the efficacy of Federal, State and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impacts on many aspects of Americans’ lives and economic activity. Moreover, each of the factors summarized below is likely to also be impacted directly or indirectly by the ongoing impact of the pandemic and investors are cautioned to interpret substantially all of the risks identified in the Company’s previously published “Risk Factors” as being heightened as a result of the ongoing impact of the pandemic.

OVERVIEW
Business Update
Two yearsThe COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact financial markets and the economy in the second quarter, and our country experienced a significant increase in coronavirus cases during July. While the long-term impact of this crisis on Redwood’s business remains unclear, we made significant progress in response to the collapse of liquidity that the non-government mortgage sector experienced in March. We believe we are now positioned to take advantage of a significant recovery in our business lines – which is currently underway. There is still much to do, but we expect to look back on the second quarter of 2020 as one of meaningful strengthening for the Company.
During the second quarter, we recast most of our secured recourse debt. In aggregate, recourse debt declined from $4.6 billion at March 31, 2020 to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2020, reducing our recourse leverage ratio from 6.9x to 2.1x. Marginable debt, or that portion of recourse debt subject to daily, market-value-based margin calls, represents only about 21% of our recourse debt, or $375 million at June 30th. When comparing our $529 million of unrestricted cash to our marginable debt at the end of the second quarter, our coverage ratio was approximately 1.4:1, leaving us with ample room above a prudent risk capital level to allocate significant capital to our operating businesses, new investments and capital deployment opportunities.
Importantly, the evolution of our capital structure has been managed organically, without raising dilutive equity capital. Not only did we not require outside capital in the second quarter, we repurchased $125 million of our convertible debt at discounted levels, generating $25 million of realized gains. These repurchases also provide the benefit of reduced debt service costs and leverage as we manage through the pandemic. We may continue to opportunistically repurchase our long-term debt or common stock to the extent we believe valuations remain significantly detached from fundamentals.
With our capital structure enhancements largely complete, we paid a second quarter dividend of $0.125 per share on June 29, 2020. The second quarter dividend aligned with the current size of our balance sheet and reflected a sustainable level that we would hope to build upon as the economy and our business cash flows stabilize. We remain committed to delivering an attractive dividend to shareholders while remaining well positioned to opportunistically deploy capital going forward.
When taking stock of the extreme market shocks brought about by COVID-19 and our future forward earnings potential, we believe it is still premature to look too far ahead, as the true impact to the U.S. economy and the mortgage industry is yet to be seen. From a macroeconomic perspective, the recovery in financial markets remains meaningfully detached from the continued, and in many areas accelerating, health pandemic. Record job losses and the associated economic contraction have significantly outpaced the Great Financial Crisis in both speed and severity. The spectacular resiliency of the financial markets appears to be buoyed by extreme monetary and fiscal stimulus, with the prospect that financial asset values can be supported, either directly or implicitly, by the Federal Reserve until a COVID-19 vaccine or effective treatments can be found.
Discomforted by the prospect of trying to predict and time the outcome of the pandemic, and with an election looming in November, we have put ourselves in a position to be patient and focused on the long-term through what may be a volatile next several months. The virtue of patience has had meaningful ancillary benefits, as we have been able to focus on the strategic evolution of our business model, and how our platforms will function in a post-pandemic world.
For now, our residential and business purpose lending segments continue to operate in a significantly altered landscape. Myriad aspects of the mortgage process that historically took place in person, such as appraisals and closings, are now often done remotely. Residential credit performance has fundamentally deteriorated from the record low delinquencies the industry enjoyed before the crisis, though continues to run better than many observers expected. As of June 30, 2020, we received approximately 96% of payments due in June for residential loans underlying our Sequoia securitizations and we received approximately 96% of payments due for the single-family rental loans underlying our CoreVest securitizations. Forbearance rates for our Sequoia portfolio had stabilized in the 6.5% - 7.0% range of outstanding balances as of July 24, 2020. Importantly, we are now observing how the first group of borrowers exiting forbearance periods will perform, and the early signs are encouraging. Along these lines, it is important to emphasize that Redwood’s servicer advancing obligations to date have been immaterial to our operations, largely thanks to the fact that a significant percentage of underlying borrowers who have been granted forbearance periods have nonetheless continued to make their monthly mortgage payments. Over the longer-term, for borrowers who reach deeper stages of delinquency, “stop-advance” features incorporated into many of our Sequoia securitization transactions will also mitigate our advancing obligations.

72


The rise in past-due mortgages, thus far, does not appear to be weakening the single-family housing sector. Thanks to record low mortgage rates, in some cases below 3% for agency mortgages and trending lower, refinance activity has remained elevated and home purchases have seen a resurgence in demand. By way of shelter-in-place orders and broader (perhaps secular) trends in working remotely, the concept of “home” has taken on greater significance for most Americans. Many children are now learning “virtually” right down the hall from their working parents. Particularly strong demand for suburban housing has been observed in many states where families look to exit dense metropolitan areas, seeking some outdoor space to call their own and that critical extra room. This is a remarkable shift in consumer preference from even a few short months ago, and one that, on balance, is positive for both our residential consumer and rental products, which are predominantly focused on single-family dwellings.
Our Residential Lending team entered the second half of the year primed for a relaunch with an idle period in the jumbo mortgage space slowly coming to an end. Since March, most lenders had significantly tightened their underwriting guidelines for newly originated loans due to the prospect of a severe recession and lack of Fed support to the non-agency sector. Additionally, constraints on the bandwidth of loan officers, who have remained largely focused on high margin refinance loans to agency-eligible borrowers, has weighed on jumbo origination activity. Based on our recent engagement with loan sellers and the gradual narrowing of the spread between agency and jumbo mortgage rates, we’ve begun to see a pickup in lock activity and expect this to grow meaningfully as we announcedhead into the fall. Even with this narrowing, we continue to see substantial relative value in non-agency whole loans, a comprehensivesentiment shared by our loan-buying counterparties, both current and prospective. Our near-term focus continues to be on recasting our programs and guidelines with loan sellers to reflect the economic environment in preparation for increased activity. Though our team’s efforts may not yet be reflected in our results, tremendous progress has been made and we’re excited about the resurgence underway.
To reach this point, we completed the difficult work of managing through our “pre-COVID” loan inventory, culminating with the sale of substantially all of those loans and the repayment of our associated secured debt facilities. As part of this process, our residential team completed our Sequoia “MC1” securitization in late June, a transaction that brought the sale of these loans to a close. The deal priced better than we expected and allowed us to safely begin locking new business strategyloans in July.
As we move forward, our Residential team is focused on a few key strategic priorities. First, is to leveragereaffirm our housing credit competencies acrosscommitment to technology by upgrading our loan systems and transition toward the more automated underwriting and approval processes our sellers experience for conventional loans. Second, is to broaden our methods of loan distribution to complement traditional whole-loan sales and securitization – a broaderkey initiative as we closely manage our loan inventory levels going forward. Third, is to enhance our value-add to our loan sellers by continuing to refine how - and how quickly - we can purchase loans in a safe and sound manner. Thanks to our deep and valuable banking relationships, we have substantial warehouse capacity to fund new loans and now have access to non-marginable facilities that will help us manage our inventory going forward.
Transitioning to our Business Purpose Lending segment, the recovery was very much underway at the end of the second quarter, and we have much to be excited about going forward. Our BPL team originated $234 million of loans in the second quarter, the majority in late May and June when we re-entered the market in earnest after securitizing a significant portion of the residential housing finance sector. This entailed not only the expansion of our traditional jumbo residential mortgage business, but also a commitment to financing housing investors who purchase residential real estate for business income (i.e., rent or refurbishment). Over the course of the past 18 months, we've developed the skills and operations necessary to grow in this market, and have taken tangible steps towards building a specialty finance platform that serves the financing needs of all homebuyers - owner-occupants and investors alike.
Our expansion into business purpose lending ("BPL") began organically, but quickly evolved into a partnership with our 5 Arches platform in Irvine. We completed our acquisition of 5 Arches in March 2019, and this business has fit squarely within Redwood's strategic initiatives. The investment opportunities generated by 5 Arches have validated the thesis underpinning our new strategy; that is, a significant imbalance exists between the rate of new household formation in the United States and the rate of new homebuilding. Most recently, we had the opportunity to further solidify business purpose lending as a core strategy at Redwood, and in October 2019 we announced our acquisition of the CoreVest BPL platform.
CoreVest is a leading BPL originator and brings a talented team to Redwood that shares our values of working with integrity and fostering deep relationships with customers and business partners. Since their inception in 2014, CoreVest has funded over $4 billion of loans while developing technology that offers a seamless borrower experience. The CoreVest platform has a highly scalable mortgage banking business and, at the time of acquisition, had recently completed its ninth securitization ofpre-COVID single-family rental loans since 2015,on our balance sheet. Our origination footprint has remained largely consistent for SFR loans, and our bridge origination strategy has sharpened its focus on sponsors whose strategy is to ultimately hold and stabilize all or most of their portfolios. In addition to their institutional caliber, these sponsors often become accretive repeat customers for both SFR loans and fresh bridge financing to support new investments. Across our BPL products, we are commanding improved lending terms in both structure and coupon. As funding markets improve, we expect more such transactions than any other issuer. This acquisition strengthenscompetition to re-enter the space; however, we believe our position as a leading lenderoperational advantage remains durable.
Our BPL business continued to make great progress in diversifying its outlets to distribute risk in the largesecond quarter and growingthrough July. We completed two non-recourse financing arrangements for over 85% of our pre-COVID bridge portfolio, essentially match-funding a portfolio that has thus far displayed solid performance through the pandemic (as noted above, these arrangements did not come with equity-linked options for the lenders). Investment demand remains very robust for our SFR and bridge loans, including significant inquiry for both loan purchases and opportunities to co-invest or provide private financing. We expect these options to become a reliable complement to traditional securitization. The attractive risk-adjusted returns in the space have kept BPL marketassets in strong demand and added approximately $900 million of business purpose mortgage loans and securities to our portfolio.
While our BPL expansion has been a key area of focus, we continue to focus on expandingreceive strong indications from investors in our core jumbo residential business.SFR securitizations.
As we take stock of the year so far and look towards the fall, we are reminded that we are living in truly historic times. We face a pandemic that has created global economic disruption, trade and technology wars are committed to growing our acquisition volume of expanded creditlooming, the fight against racism and non-qualified residential mortgage (non-QM) loans by leveraging our approach to credit, speed to close,social injustice is hitting an inflection point at a global scale, and reliable execution we deliver to loan sellers. We seethe U.S. presidential election is a mere three months away. This presents an opportunity for growing this business in responseall of us to announcements made by federal regulatory agencies made overexamine our values, reset priorities and pause while we rethink how we want our world to function. As the course of this year regarding proposed changes to housing finance rules. Most recently, the CFPB announced in July 2019 that it intends to let the so called "QM Patch" expire. The QM Patch is an exemption from the CFPB's "Ability to Pay" regulations that has the effect of affording a competitive advantage to the public mortgage sector, resulting in an unlevel playing field for non-QM mortgage lending. We estimate the QM Patch expiration will allow the private sector to effectively compete for a significant volume of non-QM loans currently purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, providing additional opportunities for growing our business.
The success of our mortgage banking businesses has been directly complemented by the work we have done within our investment portfolio. Our portfolio team continues to effectively deploy capital, leveraging unique and durable relationships forged over several years. A key differentiator for Redwood has always been our ability to source and structure investments our competitors cannot easily replicate, and we have over $670 million of capital deployed year-to-date, through October, including our acquisition of the CoreVest investment portfolio. As we grow our mortgage banking platforms, our portfolio activities and efficiency oftimes evolve, our corporate functions will be keymission remains the same - to profitably scaling our business and increasing earnings per share.help make quality housing accessible to all Americans, whether rented or owned.
As we reflect on the current state of our industry, we believe this is an exciting time for Redwood. Credit-oriented strategies are in demand as the yield curve flattens and investors seek alternative means to source real estate-related assets. However, the investment sourcing capabilities and operating know-how required to succeed in this environment remain in scarce supply. At Redwood, we have built a solutions-based business that possesses a unique ability to bridge the gap between the customized needs of non-agency borrowers - whether BPL, non-QM, or traditional jumbo - and the liquidity options available to them in the marketplace. We are already making necessary investments in technology and infrastructure to further automate our loan purchase process in anticipation of these opportunities. Our 25-year track record speaks to our ability to operate efficiently, while developing nascent, emerging products into scalable funding solutions that are transformative in nature. As we integrate our jumbo residential mortgage and BPL businesses over time, we continue to work towards our vision of becoming the preeminent specialty finance operator in the mortgage industry.

Our book value per share increased $1.83 per share to $8.15 per share during the second quarter of 2020, resulting primarily from positive investment fair value changes as well as from gains on extinguishment of our convertible debt. During the thirdsecond quarter, we recognized positive fair value changes of $1.78 per share on our investment assets, primarily driven by spread-tightening across our portfolios. While not uniform in magnitude, asset valuations were materially higher and still possess significant upside to the extent the economy continues to recover. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2019,2020, we accelerated our pace of portfolio optimization and raised equity capital in early September, which together generated $476repurchased $125 million of available capital. These activities resultedconvertible debt, resulting in increased levelsnet gains of realized gains, but dampened growth in$25 million and a $0.22 per share benefit to book value.
During the second quarter of 2020, we made significant progress repositioning our secured recourse debt structure including reducing our recourse debt from $4.6 billion at March 31, 2020 to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2020, and reducing our marginable debt from $3.5 billion at March 31, 2020 to $375 million at June 30, 2020. While our new non-marginable and non-recourse financing facilities have reduced our contingent liquidity risks, they generally have higher interest costs, which will marginally impact our net interest income asin coming quarters. Additional details on these new financing agreements are provided in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section that follows in this MD&A.
During the second quarter of 2020, we completed the sale of nearly all of our average undeployed capital increased. While lower benchmarkresidential loans previously held for investment and financed at our Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago facility (our "FHLBC Facility") and repaid all but $1 million of borrowings under this facility.

We reset operations in our mortgage banking business, we experienced higher prepayments in our investment portfolio, which negatively impacted investment fair value changes. Additionally, mortgage banking margins were negatively impacted by lower benchmark interest rates, which impacted execution on securitizations we completedbusinesses during the quarter. Execution improved for our most recent Sequoia securitization, completed in October.

Additionally, we sold $470$58 million of residential jumbo loans to third parties.bridge loans.
Our book value per share declined $0.09 per share to $15.92 per share duringDuring the thirdsecond quarter of 2019. While our earnings covered our dividend during the third quarter, this decrease was primarily driven by a $0.11 per share decline in the value of derivatives hedging our long-term debt, which were impacted by the decline in benchmark rates during the third quarter.
In October 2019,2020, we completed the acquisition of CoreVest, an originator of business purpose residential loans.

Capital Allocation Summary
This section provides an overview of our capital position and how it was allocated at September 30, 2019. A detailed discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is provided in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this MD&A that follows.
We capitalize our business with a combination of equity and long-term unsecured corporate debt (which we collectively refer to as corporate “capital”). Our total capital was $2.55 billion at September 30, 2019, and included $1.79 billion of equity capital and $0.77 billion of unsecured corporate debt, including $245third-party residential investments (including $35 million of convertible debt due in 2023, $200recently issued subordinate securities), and $19 million of convertible debt due in 2024, $201 million of exchangeable debt due in 2025, and $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037.
We also utilize various forms of collateralized short-term and long-term debt to finance certain investments and to warehouse some of our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale. We do not consider this collateralized debt as "capital" and, therefore, it is presented separately from allocated capital in the table below. The following table presents how our capital was allocated between business segments and investment types at September 30, 2019.

During the third quarter, capital raising combined with the completion of a new secured financing facility and portfolio optimization raised over $476 million of capital. This combined activity included $228 million of common equity raised in early September, a $185 million long-term, non-mark-to-market, secured debt facility collateralized by retained Sequoia residential securities (that generated $130 million of capital, after repayment of existing financing), and $118 million from security sales.
In late September, we issued $201 million of 5.75% 6-year exchangeable debt. This issuance will replace our exchangeable notes maturing in November 2019, and we therefore do not consider it incremental capital.
During the third quarter, we deployed capital into re-performing residential loan securities and business purpose residential loans, and reduced our capital allocations to Agency CRT securities, other third-party residential securities, and multifamily mezzanine securities.
As of September 30, 2019, ourOur unrestricted cash and liquidity capital included $590position increased to $529 million of capital available for investment and an additional $201 million of capital reserved for the repayment of our exchangeable notes maturing in November 2019.
In October 2019, we completed the acquisition of CoreVest for $492 million, net of in-place financing on financial assets acquired, with a mix of cash on hand and shares of Redwood stock. This acquisition will increase our allocations of capital to business purpose residential loan investments and business purpose mortgage banking. In the near-term, we expect to further increase capital allocated to business purpose residential loans, multifamily securities, and re-performing loan securities.
Atat the end of October, adjusting for the acquisitionsecond quarter of CoreVest and other activity, we estimate we had approximately $1002020, after repurchasing $125 million of capital available for investment.our convertible debt at a discount, and without issuing any equity or equity-linked securities.

Net Interest Income
The decrease in net interest income during the three- and nine-monththree-month periods was primarily due to lower net interest income from our mortgage banking segment, driven by lower average balances of residential loans, held-for-saleas we completed the sale of nearly all of our loans previously held-for-investment at the FHLBC, and higherour loan inventory held at the end of the first quarter of 2020.As a result of these sales, we expect our net interest rates on our variable rate financing. Additionally, duringincome to decrease further in the third quarter of 2019,2020 and remain lower until we acceleratedbegin to re-deploy our paceavailable capital into interest earning investments and increase our inventory of portfolio optimization, increasingloans held for sale in our average balancemortgage banking businesses. Additionally, during the second quarter of undeployed capital,2020 we entered into several new financing agreements, which also contributed to lowerin general carry higher interest costs associated with non-marginable and non-recourse features.
The increase in net interest income during the quarter. The decreasesix-month periods was primarily due to a higher average balance of invested capital during the nine-month periods was also driven by higher convertible debt expense in 2019, relative to 2018, duefirst six months of 2020, as compared to the timingfirst six months of the issuance and maturity of different series of convertible and exchangeable notes in 2018 and 2019.
We utilize hedges to manage interest rate risk in our investment portfolio and the net interest paid or received from these instruments is a component of our Investment fair value changes line item, which is discussed below. For the three-month periods, net hedge interest expense associated with portfolio hedges increased and on a combined basis, net interest income plus net interest income (expense) on hedges decreased by $2 million. For the nine-month periods, net hedge interest expense associated with portfolio hedges decreased and on a combined basis, net interest income plus net interest income (expense) on hedges increased by $4 million. During the third quarter of 2019, we experienced increased hedging costs due to interest rate volatility.
Additional detail on changes in net interest income is provided in the “Net Interest Income” section that follows.
Mortgage Banking Activities, Net
The decrease in income from mortgage banking activities during the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods was predominantly due to lower marginsa decrease in 2019, relative to 2018,loan acquisition and origination volumes at our mortgage banking businesses during the second quarter of 2020, as well as lower loan purchase volumes. margins, in both cases due to pandemic-related market disruptions. While we began to see volumes grow later in the second quarter, in the near-term we expect volumes and margins to continue to be below levels we experienced pre-pandemic.
A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows.

Investment Fair Value Changes, Net
Investment fair value changes, net, is primarily comprised of the change in fair values of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option and, prior to the second quarter of 2020, interest rate hedges associated with these investments. During the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, the positive2020, investment fair value changes were primarily driven by tightening credit spreads in several partsincreased significantly, as the fair value of our portfolio.investment assets recovered nearly one-third of the unrealized losses recognized in the first quarter of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the negative investment fair value changes reflected significant declines in the value of our investments in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from market dislocations caused by the pandemic. Additional detail on our investment fair value changes is included in the Investment Portfolio portion of the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows.
Other Income Net
The decrease in other income for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods was primarily due to amortization expense from intangible assets we recorded in connection with the acquisitionresult of 5 Arches in the first quarter of 2019, as well as a decrease in income fromlosses on our MSR investments. The decreaseinvestments, which were driven primarily by increased prepayment speeds, resulting from recent declines in other income for the nine-month periods was partially offset byinterest rates. Additionally, we recorded a $2 million gain associated with the re-measurement of our initial minority investment and purchase option in 5 Arches and loan administration fee income earned by 5 Arches.during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Realized Gains, Net
During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, we realized gains of $26 million and $30 million, respectively, primarily resulting from a $25 million gain from the repurchase of $125 million of convertible debt during the second quarter of 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we realized gains of $5$3 million and $18$14 million, respectively, primarily from the sale of $15$25 million and $82$67 million of AFS securities, respectively, and the call of a seasoned Sequoia securitization insecuritization.

OperatingAdministrative Expenses
The increase in operatinggeneral and administrative expenses for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods primarily resulted from $4 million and $16 million of additional expenses, respectively, from the consolidatedconsolidation of 5 Arches operations. Operatingand CoreVest operations during 2019 after their respective acquisitions. The increase for the six-month periods was partially offset by a $5 million decrease in our variable compensation expense, which was impacted by our year-to-date performance in 2020. Additionally, in April 2020, we implemented a workforce reduction that reduced headcount by approximately 35% and fixed compensation costs by approximately 25%.
Other Expenses
The increase in other expenses for the threethree-month periods was primarily due to higher amortization expense from intangible assets and nine months ended September 30, 2019 also included $2contingent consideration we recorded in association with the acquisitions of 5 Arches and CoreVest in 2019. The increase in other expenses for the six-month periods was primarily due to $89 million of transaction costs related togoodwill impairment expense at our Business Purpose Lending segment recorded in the acquisitionfirst quarter of CoreVest in October 2019.2020.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes is almost entirely related to activity at our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which primarily includes our mortgage banking activities and MSR investments, as well as certain other investment and hedging activities. For the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods, the decrease in provision for income taxes was drivenand the change to a benefit from income taxes from a provision for income taxes in the prior year, respectively, were primarily by lowerthe result of GAAP income earnedlosses at our TRS. Additionally, the nine-month period includedTRS in 2020. The benefit from income taxes in 2020 was partially offset by a valuation allowance being recorded against our federal net ordinary deferred tax benefit resulting from the purchase of 5 Arches.assets.

The following sections provide a detailed discussion of the results of operations at each of our twothree business segments for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018.2020.
The increase in net expenseincome from Corporate/Other for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods was primarily due to higher convertible debt expense in 2019, relative to 2018, as discussed in the previous section. Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 also included $2 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of CoreVest in October 2019. For the nine-month periods, the increase in net expense from Corporate/Other was partially offset by a $2$25 million gain associated with the re-measurementrepurchase of $125 million of convertible debt in the second quarter of 2020.

Residential Lending Segment
Overview
Our Residential Lending segment generated $33 million of net income during the second quarter of 2020, driven primarily by $35 million of positive investment fair value changes. Mortgage banking income was negative for the second quarter of 2020 as we incurred incremental costs associated with the sale of our initial minorityremaining loan inventory from the end of the first quarter and loan lock volumes were substantially reduced. During the second quarter, we resumed locking loans through our conduit operations, and purchased $56 million of loans during the quarter.
Our Residential Lending segment incurred a $199 million net loss during the first quarter of 2020, driven primarily by $197 million of negative investment fair value changes triggered by the pandemic and purchase optiona $19 million net loss from mortgage banking operations, which was driven by decreased profitability on securitizations that settled later in 5 Arches.the first quarter and from lower marks on loan inventory held at quarter-end, resulting from pandemic-related market dislocations.
While our loan acquisition volumes began to ramp back up later in the second quarter, in the near-term we expect volumes and profitability at our residential mortgage banking businesses to continue to be impacted by the pandemic and remain below pre-pandemic levels. We are also exposed to the potential impact of pandemic-related payment delinquencies and forbearances with respect to loans securitized in Sequoia transactions, and loans we have sold where we maintain certain repurchase obligations tied to near-term delinquencies.
Investment Portfolio Segment

Our Investment Portfolio segment is where we hold our housing-focused credit-sensitive investments in residential mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, and related assets. Our portfolio is primarily comprised of prime jumbo residential mortgage loans financed through the FHLBC, mortgage-backed securities collateralized by both residential and multifamily mortgages, and business purpose residential loans, which are mortgage loans to investors in residential properties.

Overview(1)Excludes Sequoia Choice loans held at VIEs that we consolidate for GAAP purposes.
During 2019,(2)Represents our retained economic investment in the consolidated Sequoia Choice securitization VIEs. For GAAP purposes, we have focused on optimizing our investment portfolio by selling assets that had appreciated in valueconsolidated $2.06 billion of loans and $1.86 billion of ABS issued associated with lower current yields, optimizing financing of assets in our portfolio, and redeploying capital into higher-yielding opportunities. During the first nine months of 2019, we deployed $451 million of capital towards new residential and multifamilythese investments including into residential re-performing loan securities, and we generated $230 million of capital from asset sales and $164 million of capital through new and incremental financing. at June 30, 2020.
As a result of capital optimization activities,the economic and financial market impacts of the pandemic, the terms of our FHLBC facility evolved and in March we endedbegan entering into transactions to sell several pools of residential whole loans financed through this facility with the thirdobjective to pay down our FHLBC borrowings. During the second quarter with approximately $590of 2020, we completed the sale of nearly all of our residential loans previously financed at the FHLBC, and repaid all but $1 million of capital available for investment. A higher balanceborrowings under this facility. We do not expect to increase borrowings under our FHLBC facility above the existing $1 million of average undeployed capitalborrowings outstanding.
During the second quarter of 2020, we sold $29 million of securities from our residential lending investment portfolio and retained $20 million of investment securities from a $271 million Sequoia securitization we completed during the thirdquarter. During the first quarter dampened the growth in net interest income, while continued spread tightening during the quarter resulted in positive investment fair value changes.
In October 2019,of 2020, we completed our acquisition of CoreVest, which included an operating platform and approximately $900sold $83 million of business purpose loans and securities a significant portion of which we will hold for investment infrom our residential lending investment portfolio. The deployment of capital into these assets, along with capital we expect to deploy into

The decrease in net interest income from our Investment Portfolio segment for the three- and nine-month periods was primarily due to higher interest expense on our variable-rate borrowings resulting from rising benchmark interest rates over the first half of 2019. This decrease was partially offset by increased interest income from additional portfolio investments that we made during the past year.

The table above also presents supplemental information about interest income (expense) from hedges that we use to manage interest rate risk in our investment portfolio, which are a component of Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income. On a combined basis, net interest income in our investment portfolio segment plus interest income (expense) from hedges used to manage interest rate risk in our investment portfolio decreased by $2 million and increased by $4 million in the three- and nine-month periods, respectively.
Investment fair value changes, net
Market valuation changes included in Investment fair value changes, net, result from changes in the fair value of investments and their associated hedges, generally due to changes in market interest rates, changes in credit spreads, and reductions in the basis of investments due to changes in principal balances.

During the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our residential mortgage loan conduit purchased $56 million of predominately prime residential jumbo loans, and sold $711 million of jumbo loans to third parties. During the second quarter of 2020, we transferred $271 million of jumbo loans to a Sequoia Choice securitization, of which $163 million were transferred from our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale. Additionally, at June 30, 2020, we had identified $57 million of loans for purchase, nearly all of which are scheduled to be delivered into forward sale agreements. This activity, along with $2 million of repurchase reserve accrual expense and $5 million of expenses associated with resolving residential loan seller demands, resulted in a loss from mortgage banking activities of $8 million for the second quarter of 2020.
During the first quarter of 2020, our residential mortgage loan conduit purchased $2.70 billion of predominately prime residential jumbo loans, securitized $1.62 billion of jumbo Select loans that were accounted for as sales, and sold $1.11 billion of jumbo loans to third parties. This activity resulted in a loss from mortgage banking activities of $23 million for the first quarter of 2020.

We utilize a combination of capital and our residential loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale. During the second quarter of 2020, we completed a non-marginable warehouse facility that we are utilizing to finance existing loan inventory, under which we had $14 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020. Going forward, we expect to finance our residential mortgage banking loan inventory substantially with non-marginable debt.
Business Purpose Lending Segment
Overview
Our Business Purpose Lending segment generated $46 million of net income during the second quarter of 2020, driven primarily by $40 million of positive investment fair value changes and $14 million of net interest income from investments. Business purpose mortgage banking activities improved from the first quarter of 2020, as origination volumes began to pick up in late May and securitization pricing in the market improved into quarter end.
During the first quarter of 2020, our Business Purpose Lending segment incurred a $228 million net loss, driven primarily by $142 million of negative investment fair value changes and a $12 million net loss from mortgage banking operations, exclusive of an $89 million charge related to the full impairment of this segment's goodwill. The declines in investment fair values were primarily driventriggered by tightening credit spreadsthe pandemic. Mortgage banking income decreased due to decreased profitability on a securitization that settled later in several partsthe first quarter and from lower marks on loan inventory held at quarter-end, resulting from the pandemic-related market dislocation.
While our loan origination volumes began to ramp back up later in the second quarter, in the near-term we expect loan origination volumes and profitability at our business purpose mortgage banking businesses to continue to be impacted by the pandemic and remain below pre-pandemic levels.

We utilize a combination of capital and loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of single-family rental loans that we hold for sale. During the second quarter, we completed a non-marginable, recourse facility that will provide financing on new bridge loans and our single-family rental loan production. Going forward, we expect to finance our business purpose mortgage banking loan inventory substantially with non-marginable debt.
Third-Party Investments Segment
Overview
As a result of asset sales driven by the impact of the pandemic, the composition of our portfolio evolved during the last several months and we combined our previously reported Multifamily Investments segment with our Third-Party Residential Investments segment into a new segment called Third-Party Investments.
Our Third-Party Investments segment generated $77 million of net income during the second quarter of 2020, driven primarily by $77 million of positive investment fair value changes and $9 million of net interest income. During the first quarter of 2020, our Third-Party Investments segment incurred a net loss of $504 million, driven primarily by $532 million of negative investment fair value changes. The declines in investment fair values were triggered by the pandemic.

Direct Operating Expenses and Provision for Income Taxes
Operating expenses at our Investment Portfolio segment decreased for the three-month periods due to lower variable compensation commensurate with lower earnings quarter-over-quarter, as well as lower loan administration fees resulting from our acquisition of 5 Arches in 2019. The increase in operating expenses at our Investment Portfolio segment for the nine-month periods was primarily related to additional personnel added in 2018 to support our new business initiatives.
The provision for income taxes at our Investment Portfolio segment primarily results from GAAP income earned at our TRS from MSRs and certain securities. For the three- and nine-month periods, the decrease in the tax provision primarily resulted from decreased GAAP income at our TRS in this segment.

Single-Family Rental Loans at Business Purpose Lending Investment Portfolio segment from our Mortgage Banking segment and their reclassification from held-for-sale to held-for-investment.

The increase in fair valuefollowing table provides the activity of single-family rental loans at our loans during the three- and nine-month periods was primarily due to a decline in benchmark interest rates. As our loans held-for-investment are generally fixed-rate and sensitive to changes in interest rates, we utilize various interest rate derivatives to hedge our interest rate risk for these investments. As a result of declining interest ratesBusiness Purpose Lending investment portfolio during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, interest rate derivatives associated with these investments decreased in value by $17 million and $86 million, respectively.
At September 30, 2019, $2.27 billion of residential loans were held by our FHLB-member subsidiary and financed with $1.94 billion of borrowings from the FHLBC. In connection with these borrowings, our FHLB-member subsidiary is required to hold $43 million of FHLB stock.
At September 30, 2019, the weighted average maturity of these FHLB borrowings was approximately six years and they had a weighted average cost of 2.31% per annum. While the interest costs on these borrowings is variable and resets every 13 weeks, we utilize various interest rate derivative instruments to hedge our interest rate risk in this portfolio.
Under a final rule published by the Federal Housing Finance Agency in January 2016, our FHLB-member subsidiary will remain an FHLB member through the five-year transition period for captive insurance companies. Our FHLB-member subsidiary's existing $2.00 billion of FHLB debt, which matures beyond this transition period, is permitted to remain outstanding until its stated maturity. As residential loans pledged as collateral for this debt pay down, we are permitted to pledge additional loans or other eligible assets to collateralize this debt; however, we do not expect to be able to increase our subsidiary's FHLB debt above the existing $2.00 billion.

Our repo borrowings were made under facilities with nine different counterparties, and the weighted average cost of funds for these facilities during the third quarter of 2019 was approximately 3.37% per annum.
At September 30, 2019, the credit performance on the securities we financed through repurchase facilities generally continued to perform in line with, or better than our expectations. In addition to the allocated capital listed in the table above that directly supports our repurchase facilities (the "financing haircut”), we continue to hold a designated amount of supplemental risk capital available for potential margin calls or future obligations relating to these facilities.
The majority of the $84 million of senior securities noted in the table above are supported by residential loans originated in 2018 and 2019. The $289 million of mezzanine securities financed through repurchase facilities at September 30, 2019 primarily carry investment grade credit ratings and are supported by residential loans originated between 2013 and 2019. The majority of the loans underlying these securities have experienced minimal delinquencies to date. The $653 million of multifamily securities financed through repurchase facilities at September 30, 2019 primarily carry investment grade credit ratings with 7%-8% of structural credit enhancement.
The following table presents our real estate securities at SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018,2020, categorized by portfolio vintage (the years the securities were issued), and by priority of cash flows (senior, mezzanine, and subordinate). We have additionally separated securities issued through our Sequoia platform or by third parties, including the Agencies.

Residential Loans Held-for-Investment at Sequoia Choice Portfolio

As of September 30, 2019, we had issued nine securitizations primarily comprised of expanded-prime Choice loans that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. These entities are independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities of these entities are not, respectively, owned by us or legal obligations of ours. We record the assets and liabilities of the consolidated Sequoia Choice entities at fair value, based on the estimated fair value of the debt securities (ABS) issued from the securitizations, in accordance with GAAP provisions for collateralized financing entities. At September 30, 2019, our economic investment in the consolidated Sequoia Choice entities had an estimated fair value of $259 million. The securities retained from our consolidated Sequoia Choice entities included senior and subordinate securities of $13 million and $244 million, respectively, at September 30, 2019.
The following tables present the statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the balance sheets of the consolidated Sequoia Choice entities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Residential Loans Held-for-Investment at Freddie Mac SLST Portfolio

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, we invested in certain subordinate securities backed by a pool of seasoned re-performing and, to a lesser extent, non-performing residential mortgage loans that were issued by certain Freddie Mac SLST securitization entities and we were required to consolidate these entities for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. These entities are independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities of these entities are not, respectively, owned by us or legal obligations of ours. We record the assets and liabilities of the consolidated Freddie Mac SLST entities at fair value, based on the estimated fair value of the debt securities (ABS) issued from the securitizations, in accordance with GAAP provisions for collateralized financing entities.

The outstanding re-performing and non-performing residential loans held-for-investment at the Freddie Mac SLST entities at September 30, 2019 were first-lien, fixed- or step-rate loans that have been modified. At securitization, the weighted average FICO score of borrowers backing these loans was 599 and the weighted average LTV ratio of these loans was 68%. At September 30, 2019, 288 of these loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $75 million were greater than 90 days delinquent and 150 of these loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $24 million were in foreclosure. At December 31, 2018, 306 of these loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $51 million were greater than 90 days delinquent and none of these loans were in foreclosure. Due to the credit profile of re-performing and non-performing loans, our investment in the subordinate securities issued by the Freddie Mac SLST entities was made based on an expectation of defaults and credit losses that will occur on the underlying pool of residential mortgage loans, which was reflected in our purchase price yield. At September 30, 2019, delinquencies and credit losses in the portfolio remain in line with our expectations.
Multifamily Loans Held-for-Investment at Freddie Mac K-Series Portfolio

Beginning in the second half of 2018, we invested in certain subordinate securities issued by Freddie Mac K-Series securitization entities and were required to consolidate these entities for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Each of these entities is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities of these entities are not, respectively, owned by us or legal obligations of ours. We record the assets and liabilities of the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entities at fair value, based on the estimated fair value of the debt securities (ABS) issued from the securitizations, in accordance with GAAP provisions for collateralized financing entities. At September 30, 2019, our economic investment in the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entities had an estimated fair value of $215 million, and was comprised of subordinate securities.

The following tables present the statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the balance sheets of the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Portfolio
Our MSRs are held and managed at our taxable REIT subsidiary and typically are acquired together with loans from originators and then separately recognized under GAAP when the MSR is retained and the associated loan is sold to a third party or transferred to a Sequoia residential securitization sponsored by us that meets the GAAP criteria for sale. Although we own the rights to service loans, we contract with sub-servicers to perform these activities. Our receipt of MSR income is not subject to any covenants other than customary performance obligations associated with servicing residential loans. If a sub-servicer we contract with was to fail to perform these obligations, our servicing rights could be terminated and we would evaluate our MSR asset for impairment at that time.
The following table provides the activity for MSRs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

(1)Represents the net transfers of loans out of our Mortgage Banking segment into our Investment Portfolio segment and their reclassification from held-for-sale to held-for-investment. Includes $727 million and $1.08 billion of Choice loans securitized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $796 million and $1.78 billion of Choice loans securitized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which were not treated as sales for GAAP purposes and continue to be reported on our consolidated balance sheets within our Investment Portfolio segment.
Overview
Segment contribution from our mortgage banking business decreased during the three- and nine-month periods, driven primarily by lower margins and lower loan purchase volumes on our residential loans as compared to the prior year. Margins for our residential mortgage banking operations were above our long-term expectations for the first half of 2019 and below our expectations for the third quarter of 2019. For the remainder of 2019, we expect residential loan volumes to remain stable and for margins to normalize in-line with our long-term expectations. For the third quarter of 2019, our business purpose mortgage banking operations generated a segment contribution close to break-even, as our volumes were somewhat impacted by the continued integration of 5 Arches. During the third quarter, we completed one Select securitization and two Choice securitizations.
During the first nine months of 2019, we purchased $4.03 billion of predominately prime residential jumbo loans, securitized $1.14 billion of jumbo Select loans that were accounted for as sales, and sold $1.79 billion of jumbo loans to third parties. Additionally, we transferred $1.08 billion of jumbo Choice loans that did not qualify for sales accounting treatment under GAAP to Sequoia securitization entities and we had net transfers of $69 million of loans to our Investment Portfolio segment that were financed with borrowings from the FHLBC. Our pipeline of residential loans identified for purchase at September 30, 2019 included $1.32 billion of jumbo loans.

During the first two months of 2019, prior to our acquisition of 5 Arches on March 1, 2019, we purchased $19 million of single-family rental loans from 5 Arches. During the period from March 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019, we funded $78 million of single-family rental loans, of which $19 million were transferred to our investment portfolio and financed with FHLB borrowings, and the remaining loans were retained in our mortgage banking segment. Going forward, we anticipate transferring the majority of our remaining 5 Arches-originated single-family rental loans to our investment portfolio and financing them at the FHLB. During the period from March 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019, we have funded $219 million of residential bridge loans, of which $47 million were sold to a third party and the remaining loans were transferred to our investment portfolio. In October 2019, 5 Arches originated an additional $162 million of business purpose loans, all of which we have retained on our balance sheet.
We utilize a combination of capital and our loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of loans held-for-sale. At September 30, 2019, we had $233 million of warehouse debt outstanding to fund our residential loans held-for-sale. The weighted average cost of the borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the third quarter of 2019 was 3.87% per annum. Jumbo loan warehouse capacity at September 30, 2019 totaled $1.43 billion across four separate counterparties, which should continue to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our mortgage banking operations in the near-term.
At September 30, 2019, we had $59 million of warehouse debt outstanding to fund our single-family rental loans held-for-sale. The weighted average cost of the borrowings outstanding under these facilities during the third quarter of 2019 was 5.07% per annum. Our single-family rental loan warehouse capacity totaled $400 million across two separate counterparties.
At September 30, 2019, residential mortgage banking had 482 loan sellers, down from 501 at the end of 2018. This included 184 jumbo sellers and 298 sellers from various FHLB districts participating in the FHLB's MPF Direct program.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income from mortgage banking is primarily comprised of interest income earned on loans from the time we purchase the loans to when we sell or securitize them, offset by interest expense incurred on short-term warehouse debt used in part to finance the loans while we hold them on our balance sheet.
The decrease in net interest income during the three- and nine-month periods was primarily due to a decrease in interest income driven by a lower average balance of residential loans held-for-sale and lower loan purchase volumes.
The amount of net interest income we earn on loans held-for-sale is dependent on many variables, including the amount of loans and the time they are outstanding on our consolidated balance sheet and their interest rates, as well as the amount of leverage we employ through the use of short-term debt to finance the loans and the interest rates on that debt. These factors will impact net interest income in future periods.
Mortgage Banking Activities, Net
Mortgage banking activities, net, includes the changes in market value of both the loans we hold for sale and commitments for loans we intend to purchase (collectively, our loan pipeline), as well as the effect of derivative instruments we utilize to manage risks associated with our loan pipeline. Our loan sale profit margins are measured over the period from when we commit to purchase a loan and subsequently sell or securitize the loan or transfer it into our investment portfolio. Accordingly, these profit margins may encompass positive or negative market valuation adjustments on loans, hedging gains or losses associated with our loan pipeline, and any other related transaction expenses, and may be realized over the course of one or more quarters for financial reporting purposes. In addition, beginning in the first quarter of 2019, mortgage banking activities includes fees from the origination of loans from our business purpose mortgage banking operations.

The following table presents the components of mortgage banking activities, net. Amounts presented include both the changes in market values for loans that were sold and associated derivative positions that were settled during the periods presented, as well as changes in market values of loans, derivatives and hedges outstanding at the end of each period.

The decrease in mortgage banking activities, net for the three- and nine-month periods was mostly the result of lower gross margins and lower loan purchase volumes. During the third quarter of 2019, gross margins were negatively impacted by deteriorated securitization execution driven by rate volatility that improved toward the end of the quarter.
Residential loan purchase commitments ("LPCs"), adjusted for fallout expectations, were $1.70 billion and $4.59 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Our gross margins for our residential loans in the third quarter of 2019, which we define as net interest income plus income from mortgage banking activities, divided by LPCs, declined during 2019 but remain within our long-term expectations.
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had repurchase reserves of $3 million and $4 million outstanding, respectively, related to residential loans sold through this segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded less than $0.1 million of reversal of provision for repurchases and $0.1 million of provision for repurchases, respectively, that were included in income from mortgage banking activities, net, in this segment. We review our loan repurchase reserves each quarter and adjust them as necessary based on current information available at each reporting date.

Single-Family Rental Loans Held-for-Sale
The $110 million of outstanding single-family rental loans held-for-sale at September 30, 2019 were first-lien, fixed-rate loans with original maturities of five, seven, or ten years. At September 30, 2019, the weighted average coupon of our single-family rental loans was 5.35% and the weighted average remaining loan term was six years. At origination, the weighted average LTV ratio of these loans was 68% and the weighted average debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR") was 1.36 times.

Operating Expenses and Taxes
Operating expenses for this segment primarily include costs associated with the origination, purchase and sale of residential and business purpose loans, including expenses from the 5 Arches platform we acquired in March 2019. For the three- and nine-month periods, the increase in operating expenses was primarily due to additional expenses from the consolidated 5 Arches operations.
All mortgage banking activities are performed at our taxable REIT subsidiary and the provision for income taxes is generally correlated to the amount of this segment's contribution before income taxes in relation to the TRS's overall GAAP income and associated tax provision. The decrease in provision for income taxes resulted primarily from the reduction in GAAP income earned in this segment.

Results of Consolidated Legacy Sequoia Entities

We sponsored Sequoia securitization entities prior to 2012 that are reported on our consolidated balance sheets for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Each of these entities is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities of these entities are not, respectively, owned by us or legal obligations of ours. We record the assets and liabilities of the consolidated Legacy Sequoia entities at fair value, based on the estimated fair value of the debt securities (ABS) issued from the securitizations, in accordance with GAAP provisions for collateralized financing entities. At September 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our investments in the consolidated Legacy Sequoia entities was $10 million.

The following tables present the statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the balance sheets of the consolidated Legacy Sequoia entities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Net Interest Income at Consolidated Legacy Sequoia Entities     
The decrease in net interest income for the three- and six-month periods was primarily attributable to the continued paydown of loans at the consolidated entities.
Investment Fair Value Changes, net at Consolidated Legacy Sequoia Entities

Investment fair value changes, net at consolidated Legacy Sequoia entities includes the change in fair value of the residential loans held-for-investment, REO, and the ABS issued at the entities, which netted together represent the change in value of our retained investments in the consolidated Legacy Sequoia entities. The negative investment fair value changes in each of the periods presented was primarily related to the decline in fair value changes on retained IO securities, as the basis of these assets continue to diminish.

(1)Our tax results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are estimates until we file tax returns for 2019.

Under normal circumstances, our minimum REIT dividend requirement would be 90% of our annual REIT taxable income. However, we currently maintain a $39$28 million federal net operating loss carry forward (NOL) at the REIT that affords us the option of retaining REIT taxable income up to the NOL amount, tax free, rather than distributing it as dividends. Federal income tax rules require the dividends paid deduction to be applied to reduce REIT taxable income before the applicability of NOLs is considered. It is possible our estimatedconsidered; therefore, REIT taxable income willmust exceed our dividend distributions in 2019; therefore, we maydistribution for us to utilize a portion of our NOL in 2019 and any remaining amount will carry forward into 2020.future years. If annual REIT taxable income, exclusive of the dividends paid deduction, is a taxable loss, the NOL carryforward will be increased by the taxable loss.


Our dividend characterization for 2020 will be determined based on our full-year taxable income and dividend distributions. We also currently expect all or nearly allonly a small portion of the distributions to shareholders in 20192020 will be taxable as dividend income and a smaller portion, if any,the remainder will be a return of capital, which is generally non-taxable. Additionally, a portionnontaxable. Under the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs, none of our 20192020 dividend distributions are currently expected to be characterized as long-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes.gains.
Tax Provision under GAAP

For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we recorded a tax benefitprovision of $0.1 million$37 thousand and a tax provisionbenefit of $3$22 million, respectively. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we recorded tax provisions of $5$2 million and $12$3 million, respectively. Our tax provision is primarily derived from the activities at our TRS as we do not book a material tax provision associated with income generated at our REIT. The reduction in taxswitch to a benefit from income taxes from provision for income taxes year-over-year was primarily the result of  the lower GAAP income earnedlosses being recorded at our TRS as well as the recognition of discretein 2020 versus TRS GAAP income in 2019. The benefit from income taxes this period was partially offset by a valuation allowance being recorded against our federal net ordinary deferred tax benefits in the first quarter ancillary to the 5 Arches acquisition, which impacted our tax provision by less than $2 million.assets. Our TRS effective tax rate in 20192020 is expected to be approximately equal tosignificantly less than the federal statutory corporate tax rate, excludingdue to the one-time discretevaluation allowance and other permanent GAAP to tax benefits.differences. The income or loss generated at our TRS will not directly affect the tax characterization of our 20192020 dividends.

Realization of our deferred tax assets ("DTAs") is dependent on many factors, including generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of NOL carryforwards and generating sufficient capital gains in future periods prior to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards. We determine the extent to which realization of our DTAs is not assured and establish a valuation allowance accordingly. At December 31, 2018,2019, we reported net federal ordinary and capital deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs"), and, as such, had no associated valuation allowance.
As a result of GAAP incomelosses at our TRS in 2020, we forecast that we will report net federal ordinary and capital DTLsDTAs at December 31, 20192020 and consequently a valuation allowance was recorded against our net federal ordinary DTAs. However, no valuation allowance is expected to bewas recorded against anyour net federal DTA.capital DTAs as we currently expect to utilize these DTAs due to our ability to recognize capital losses and carry them back to prior years. Consistent with prior periods, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance against our net state DTAs. Our estimate of net deferred tax assets could change in future periods to the extent that actual or revised estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward periods change from current expectations.
Differences between Estimated Total Taxable Income and GAAP Income
Differences between estimated taxable income and GAAP income are largely due to the following: (i) we cannot establish loss reserves for future anticipated events for tax but we can for GAAP, as realized credit losses are expensed when incurred for tax and these losses are anticipated through lower yields on assets or through loss provisions for GAAP; (ii) the timing, and possibly the amount, of some expenses (e.g., certain compensation expenses) are different for tax than for GAAP; (iii) since amortization and impairments differ for tax and GAAP, the tax and GAAP gains and losses on sales may differ, resulting in differences in realized gains on sale; (iv) at the REIT and certain TRS entities, unrealized gains and losses on market valuation adjustments of securities and derivatives are not recognized for tax until the instrument is sold or extinguished; (v) for tax, basis may not be assigned to mortgage servicing rights retained when whole loans are sold resulting in lower tax gain on sale; (vi) for tax, we do not consolidate securitization entities as we do under GAAP; and, (vii) dividend distributions to our REIT from our TRS are included in REIT taxable income, but not GAAP income. As a result of these differences in accounting, our estimated taxable income can vary significantly from our GAAP income during certain reporting periods.

The table below reconciles our estimated total taxable income to our GAAP income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Summary
In addition to the proceeds from equity and debt capital-raising transactions, our principal sources of cash consist of borrowings under mortgage loan warehouse facilities, securities repurchase agreements, payments of principal and interest we receive from our investment portfolios, proceeds from the sale of portfolio assets, and cash generated from our operating activities. Our most significant uses of cash are to purchase and originate mortgage loans for our mortgage banking operations, to fund investments in residential loans, to purchase investment securities and make other investments, to repay principal and interest on our warehouse facilities, repurchase agreements,debt, to meet margin calls associated with our debt and long-term debt,other obligations, to make dividend payments on our capital stock, and to fund our operations.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our total capital was $2.55$1.59 billion and included $1.79$0.94 billion of equity capital and $0.77$0.65 billion of convertible notes and long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet, including $245$199 million of convertible debt due in 2023, $200$150 million of convertible debt due in 2024, $201$172 million of exchangeable debt due in 2025, and $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our unrestricted cash and liquidity capital included $590 million of capital available for investment and an additional $201 million of capital reserved for the repayment of our exchangeable debt maturing in November 2019. In October 2019, we completed the acquisition of CoreVest for $492 million, net of in-place financing on financial assets acquired, with a mix of cash on hand and shares of Redwood stock. At the end of October, adjusting for the acquisition of CoreVest and other activity, we estimate we had approximately $100 million of capital available for investment.
was $529 million. While we believe our available capital, together with additional liquidity we believe we can source through continued portfolio optimization (including collateralized borrowings or assets sales),cash is sufficient to fund our operations, and currently contemplated investment activities and to repay existing debt, we may raise equity or debt capital from time to time to acquire assetsincrease our unrestricted cash and liquidity, to repay existing debt, to make long-term investments to expand our investment portfolio, including funding large purchases of portfolios of residential, multifamily, or business purpose residential loans or securities, or other portfolio investments, for acquisitions to expand our mortgage banking operating platforms, or for other purposes. To the extent we seek to raise additional capital, our approach will continue to be based on what we believe to be in the best interestinterests of our shareholders.the company.
We are subject to risks relating to our liquidity and capital resources, including risks relating to incurring debt under residential loan warehouse facilities, securities repurchase facilities, and other short- and long-term debt facilities and other risks relating to our use of derivatives. A further discussion of these risks is set forth below under the heading “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short-and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities."
Cash Flows and Liquidity for the NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020
Cash flows from our mortgage banking activities and our investments can be volatile from quarter to quarter depending on many factors, including the timing and amount of loan and securities acquisitions/originationsacquisitions and sales and repayments, the profitability of mortgage banking activities, as well as changes in interest rates, prepayments, and credit losses. Therefore, cash flows generated in the current period are not necessarily reflective of the long-term cash flows we will receive from these investments or activities.
During the first six months of 2020, in response to the pandemic, we sold a significant amount of investments and repaid a significant amount of debt, which allowed us to reposition and de-lever our balance sheet and generate additional liquidity. Additionally, we entered into several new financing agreements that are non-marginable and in one case non-recourse, and have longer dated maturities than agreements they replaced that were marginable and recourse to us. While the asset sales and pay-down of debt, along with these new financing agreements, strengthened our liquidity and capital position by removing sources of contingent liquidity risk (from potential margin calls), they have also reduced our overall amount of earning assets and increased our borrowing costs. In the near-term, while we maintain a higher balance of cash, this will reduce our cash flows from operations. However, given our significant cash position, we believe we are positioned well to meet our near-term liquidity needs.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities were negative $1.20 billionpositive $56 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. This amount includes the net cash utilized during the period from the purchase and sale of residential mortgage loans associated with our mortgage banking activities. Purchases of loans are financed to a large extent with short-term debt, for which changes in cash are included as a component of financing activities. Excluding cash flows from the purchase, origination, sale, and principal payments of loans classified as held-for-sale, cash flows from operating activities were negative $123positive $58 million and positive $84negative $112 million during the first ninesix months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
As a result of the pandemic, in late March we determined that our hedges were no longer effectively managing the risks associated with certain of our assets and 2018, respectively. Forliabilities and we settled nearly all of our outstanding derivative positions. As a result of these settlements and other hedging activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2019,quarter, we made $183 million of cash flows from operating activities included netpayments, representing a significant outflow of cash outflows of $159 million relatedfor the period that we would not expect to recur in subsequent periods, particularly while we are not employing the funding of derivative margin obligations and the settlementuse of derivatives. These
Additionally, as discussed previously in this MD&A, in late March and continuing into May, we sold a significant amount of loans and securities, and repaid associated debt. As a result, we expect the cash outflows were the result of declining benchmarkprovided from net interest rates during 2019.  income to decline in future periods.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our net cash provided by investing activities was $916 million$3.06 billion and primarily resulted from proceeds from sales of loans and real estate securities, as well as principal payments on loans held-for-investment and sales of real estate securities.loans. Although we generally intend to hold our loans and investment securities as long-term investments, we may sell certain of these securitiesassets in order to manage our liquidity needs and interest rate risk and liquidity needs,, to meet other operating objectives, and to adapt to market conditions. We cannotWhile it is difficult to predict the timing and impact of future sales of investment securities, if any.

any, given our current liquidity position, we expect the pace of our asset sales to decline from the first six months of 2020.
Because many of our investment securities and loans are financed through repurchasevarious borrowing agreements, a significant portion of the proceeds from any sales or principal payments of our investment securities could bethese assets are generally used to repay balances under these financing sources. Similarly, all or a significant portion of cash flows from principal payments of loans at consolidated Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST and K-Seriessecuritization entities would generally be used to repay ABS issued by those entities.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we deployed capital into several new investments, including $73 million into Freddie Mac SLST re-performing residential loan securities and $21 million into business purpose loans originated by 5 Arches.
As presented in the "Supplemental Noncash Information" subsection of our consolidated statements of cash flows, during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we transferred residential loans between held-for-sale and held-for-investment classification, retained securities from Sequoia and CAFL securitizations we sponsored, and consolidateddeconsolidated certain multifamily and re-performing residential securitization trusts, which represent significant non-cash transactions that were not included in cash flows from investing activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our net cash provided byused in financing activities was $587 million.$2.83 billion. This primarily resulted from proceeds of $1.02$1.67 billion from the issuance of asset-backed securities from our Sequoia Choice securitizations, proceeds of $427 million from the issuance of common stock, and proceeds of $387 million from the issuance of exchangeable notes and borrowings under our subordinate securities financing facility. These cash inflows were partially offset by $721 million of repayments of ABS issued and $427 million of net repayments of short-term debt.debt and $2.13 billion of repayments of long-term debt, including repayments of $2.00 billion of FHLBC borrowings, which were associated with the sales of a significant amount of assets noted in the investing activities section above. Additionally, we paid $97 million to purchase and retire $125 million of our convertible debt in the second quarter of 2020. These outflows of cash were partially offset by $154 million of net proceeds from the issuance and settlements of ABS issued. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had cash inflows of $944 million related to borrowings under two new non-marginable facilities that were generally used to repay existing borrowings from marginable facilities.
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we paid $94 million of cash dividends on our common stock, representing cumulativedeclared dividends of $0.90$0.445 per common share. In November 2019,On June 11, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.30$0.125 per share for the fourthsecond quarter of 2019,2020, which is payablewas paid on December 30, 2019June 29, 2020 to shareholders of record on December 16, 2019.June 22, 2020.
In accordance with the terms of our outstanding deferred stock units and restricted stock units, which are stock-based compensation awards, each time we declare and pay a dividend on our common stock, we are required to make a dividend equivalent payment in that same per share amount on each outstanding deferred stock unit and restricted stock unit.
Repurchase Authorization
In February 2018, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of our common stock, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchases of common stock to $100 million, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. This authorization increased the previous share repurchase authorization approved in February 2016 and has no expiration date. This repurchase authorization does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. Under this authorization, shares or securities may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, $100 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock.stock and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities. Like other investments we may make, any repurchases of our common stock or debt securities under this authorization would reduce our available capital and unrestricted cash described above.
Short-Term Debt
In the ordinary course of our business, we use recourse debt through several different types of borrowing facilities and use cash borrowings under these facilities to, among other things, fund the acquisition of residential loans (including those we acquire and originate in anticipation of securitization), finance investments in securities and other investments, and otherwise fund our business and operations.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had four short-term residential loan warehouse facilities with a total outstanding debt balance of $233$663 million (secured by residential loans with an aggregate fair value of $253 million) and a total uncommitted borrowing limit of $1.43 billion. In addition, at September 30, 2019, we had an aggregate outstanding short-term debt balance of $1.16 billion under nine securities repurchase facilities, which were secured by securities with a fair market value of $736 million. In addition, at September 30, 2019, the fair value of our real estate securities pledged as collateral included $113 million of securities retained from our consolidated Sequoia Choice securitizations, as well as $385 million and $209 million of securities we owned that were issued by consolidated Freddie Mac SLST and Freddie Mac K-series securitizations, respectively. We also had a secured line of credit with no outstanding debt balance and a total borrowing limit of $10 million (secured by securities with a fair market value of $3 million) at September 30, 2019.


To finance our business purpose residential loan investments, at September 30, 2019, we had two single-family rental loan warehouse facilities with a total outstanding debt balance of $59 million (secured by single-family rental loans with an aggregate fair value of $78 million) and a total uncommitted borrowing limit of $400 million. In addition, at September 30, 2019, we had four residential bridge loan warehouse facilities with a total outstanding debt balance of $139 million (secured by residential bridge loans with an aggregate fair value of $176 million) and a total uncommitted borrowing limit of $330 million. We also had a business purpose loan working capital line with no outstanding balance and a total uncommitted borrowing limit of $15 million.
Servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt used to finance servicer advance investments we made in the fourth quarter of 2018. At September 30, 2019, the fair value of servicer advances, cash and restricted cash pledged as collateral was $243 million. At September 30, 2019, the accrued interest payable balance on this debt was $0.2 million and the unamortized capitalized commitment costs were $0.4 million.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, $201 million principal amount of 5.625% exchangeable senior notes and $1 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs were reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt as the maturity of the notes was less than one year as of November 2018. At September 30, 2019, the accrued interest payable balance on this debt was $4 million. See Note 15 for additional information on our convertible notes.
At September 30, 2019, we had $1.98 billion of short-term debt outstanding. During the first ninesix months of 2019,2020, the highest balance of our short-term debt outstanding was $2.65$3.23 billion.

During the second quarter of 2020, we reduced the number of credit facilities related to our business purpose loans to two facilities with borrowing capacity of $500 million at June 30, 2020, from six facilities with borrowing capacity of $1.41 billion at March 31, 2020. These short-term facilities were replaced with a long-term, non-recourse facility with a borrowing capacity of $530 million primarily for the financing of bridge loans, and a second long-term recourse facility with a borrowing capacity of $500 million primarily for the financing of single-family rental and bridge loans. These new long-term facilities are not subject to the collateral margin requirements of our prior short-term facilities.
During the second quarter of 2020, we additionally reduced our residential loan warehouse facilities to three facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $700 million at June 30, 2020, from four facilities with total borrowing capacity of $1.53 billion at March 31, 2020. The reduction in these facilities was related to the decreased residential loan purchase volumes during the second quarter of 2020.

Long-Term Debt
The following discusses significant activity during the first half of 2020 and other information about our long-term debt. For further detail on our long-term debt, see Note 15 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Convertible Notes
During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased $29 million par value of our 5.75% exchangeable senior notes due 2025 at a discount and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $6 million in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).
During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased $50 million par value of our 5.625% convertible senior notes due 2024 at a discount and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $9 million in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).
During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased $46 million par value of our 4.75% convertible senior notes at a discount and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $10 million in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).
FHLBC Borrowings
In July 2014,As a result of the economic and financial market impacts of the pandemic, the terms of our FHLB-member subsidiary entered into a borrowing agreementfacility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. At September 30, 2019, under this agreement, our subsidiary could incur borrowings upChicago (our "FHLBC Facility") evolved and we decided to $2.00 billion, also referred to as “advances,”significantly reduce the financing we obtain from the FHLBC secured by eligible collateral, including, but not limited to residential mortgage loans.FHLBC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our FHLB-member subsidiary made no additionalsecond quarter of 2020, we completed the sale of nearly all residential loans financed through this facility and repaid all but $1 million of borrowings under this agreement. Under a final rule published by the Federal Housing Finance Agency in January 2016, our FHLB-member subsidiary will remain an FHLB member through a five-year transition period for captive insurance companies. Our FHLB-member subsidiary's existing $2.00 billion of FHLB debt, which matures beyond this transition period, is permitted to remain outstanding until stated maturity. As residential loans pledged as collateral for this debt pay down, we are permitted to pledge additional loans or other eligible assets to collateralize this debt; however, wefacility. We do not expect to be able to increase borrowings under our subsidiary's FHLB debtFHLBC Facility above the existing $2.00 billion maximum.
At September 30, 2019, $2.00 billion of advances were outstanding under this agreement, which were classified as long-term debt, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.31% per annum and a weighted average maturity of six years. At September 30, 2019, accrued interest payable on these borrowings was $8 million. Advances under this agreement are charged interest based on a specified margin over the FHLBC’s 13-week discount note rate, which resets every 13 weeks. At September 30, 2019, our total advances under this agreement were secured by residential mortgage loans with a fair value of $2.27 billion, securities with a fair value of $41 million, and $77$1 million of restricted cash. This agreement also requires our subsidiary to purchase and hold stock in the FHLBC in an amount equal to a specified percentage of outstanding advances. At September 30, 2019, our subsidiary held $43 million of FHLBC stock that is included in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.borrowings outstanding.

Convertible NotesAsset-Backed Securities Issued
In September 2019, one of our taxable subsidiaries issued $201 million principal amount of 5.75% exchangeable senior notes due 2025. After deducting the underwriting discount and offering costs, we received approximately $195 million of net proceeds. Including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, the weighted average interest expense yield on these exchangeable notes is approximately 6.3% per annum. At September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of these notes was $201 million and the accrued interest payable balance on this debt was $0.2 million.
In June 2018, we issued $200 million principal amount of 5.625% convertible senior notes due 2024 at an issuance price of 99.5%. After deducting the issuance discount, the underwriting discount and offering costs, we received approximately $194 million of net proceeds. Including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and the debt discount, the weighted average interest expense yield on these convertible notes is approximately 6.2% per annum. At September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of these notes was $200 million and the accrued interest payable balance on this debt was $2 million.
In August 2017, we issued $245 million principal amount of 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2023. After deducting the underwriting discount and offering costs, we received approximately $238 million of net proceeds. Including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, the weighted average interest expense yield on these convertible notes is approximately 5.3% per annum. At September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of these notes was $245 million and the accrued interest payable balance on this debt was $1 million.
In November 2014, one of our taxable subsidiaries issued $205 million principal amount of 5.625% exchangeable senior notes due 2019. After deducting the underwriting discount and offering costs, we received approximately $198 million of net proceeds. Including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, the weighted average interest expense yield on these exchangeable notes is approximately 6.3% per annum. During the first quarter of 2016,2020, we repurchased $4 million par value of these notes at a discount and recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income. During the fourth quarter of 2018, $201 million principal amount of 5.625% exchangeable senior notes and $1 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs were reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt as the maturity of the notes was less than one year as of November 2018. At September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of these notes was $201 million and the accrued interest payable balance on this debt was $4 million.
Trust Preferred Securities and Subordinated Notes
At September 30, 2019, we had trust preferredsold subordinate securities and subordinated notes outstanding of $100 million and $40 million, respectively, issued by us in 2006 and 2007. This debt requires quarterly interest payments at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.25% and must be redeemed no later than 2037. Prior to 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps with aggregate notional values totaling $140 million to hedge the variability in this long-term debt interest expense. Including hedging costs and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, the weighted average interest expense yield on our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes is approximately 6.9% per annum. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges with all interest recorded as a component of net interest income and other valuation changes recorded as a component of equity.
Asset-Backed Securities
At September 30, 2019, there were $446 million (principal balance) of loans owned at consolidated Legacy Sequoia securitization entities, which were funded with $438 million (principal balance) of ABS issued at these entities. At September 30, 2019, there were $2.55 billion (principal balance) of loans owned at consolidated Sequoia Choice securitization entities, which were funded with $2.29 billion (principal balance) of ABS issued at these entities. At September 30, 2019, there were $2.47 billion (principal balance) of loans owned at the consolidated Freddie Mac SLST securitization entity, which were funded with $1.89 billion (principal balance) of ABS issued at this entity. At September 30, 2019, there were $3.54 billion (principal balance) of loans owned at the consolidatedfour Freddie Mac K-Series securitization trusts we previously consolidated and determined that we should derecognize the associated assets and liabilities of each of these entities which were funded with $3.24for financial reporting purposes. As a result, during the first quarter of 2020, we deconsolidated $3.86 billion (principal balance)of multifamily loans and other assets and $3.72 billion of multifamily ABS issued. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued $450 million and $787 million of ABS issued at these entities. The loansthrough our consolidated securitization entities, respectively. This included $201 million and $537 million of CAFL ABS issued from these entities are reported at estimated fair value.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
For additional information on commitments and contingencies that could impact our liquidity and capital resources, see Note 16 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Mortgage Payment Forbearances
In response to the personal financial impacts of the pandemic, many residential mortgage borrowers are seeking forbearance with respect to monthly mortgage payment obligations. We are exposed to the negative financial impact of COVID-19 related payment forbearances with respect to loans securitized in Sequoia transactions, loans held for investment or sale, and a variety of other investments, including third-party issued mortgage-backed securities, mortgage servicing rights and related cash flows, and re-performing residential mortgage loans. Business purpose mortgage loan borrowers may also seek payment forbearances. In addition, transactions we have entered into, including to finance loans with warehouse financing providers and to sell whole loans to third parties, may be negatively impacted by COVID-19 related payment forbearances, including by reducing our proceeds from these transactions or if we are required to repurchase impacted loans.
Mortgage Servicing Advance Obligations
Redwood's liquidity exposure to advancing obligations associated with residential mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) is primarily related to our Sequoia private-label residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS). The residential mortgage loans backing our Sequoia securities were generally originated as prime quality residential mortgage loans with strong credit characteristics. These loans were sourced from our residential mortgage platform through our network of loan sellers, including banks and independent mortgage companies, and were acquired after undergoing our review and underwriting process.
We outsource our residential mortgage servicing activity to third-party sub-servicers and do not directly service residential mortgage loans. We carry out a servicing oversight function and, in some cases, are obligated to reimburse our sub-servicers when they fund advances of principal and interest (P&I), taxes and insurance (T&I), and certain other amounts related to securitized mortgage loans.

94


At June 30, 2020, mortgage loans in a delinquent status (whether or not subject to forbearance) accounted for approximately 4.0% of the aggregate principal (or notional) balance of Sequoia securitized loans for which we had servicing advance funding obligations, with respect to the monthly mortgage payment due at June 30, 2020 (compared to approximately 3.2% of principal balance that were in a delinquent status as of April 30, 2020). As of June 30, 2020, we had no servicing advances outstanding related to principal and interest on Sequoia securitized loans for which we had servicing advance funding obligations. We estimate that for every 5 percentage point increase in the principal balance of Sequoia securitized mortgage loans in a delinquent status (whether or not subject to forbearance), our average monthly principal and interest servicing advance funding obligation would increase by approximately $3 million. Other advance funding obligations, including with respect to T&I, are subject to variability and seasonality and are not included within this estimate.
Risks Relating to Debt Incurred Under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities
As described above under the heading “Results of Operations,” in the ordinary course of our business, we use debt financing obtained through several different types of borrowing facilities to, among other things, finance the acquisition of mortgage loans (including those we acquire in anticipation of sale or securitization), and finance investments in securities and other investments. We may also use short- and long-term borrowings to fund other aspects of our business and operations, including the repurchase of shares of our common stock.stock or outstanding debt securities. Debt incurred under these facilities is generally either the direct obligation of Redwood Trust, Inc., or the direct obligation of subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. and guaranteed by Redwood Trust, Inc. Risks relating to debt incurred under these facilities are described in Part I, Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities.Facilities, and under the caption “Our use of financial leverage exposes us to increased risks, including liquidity risks from margin calls and potential breaches of the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities, which could result in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements” in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the "Q1 2020 10-Q"). Many of the risks described above materialized during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the pandemic and its impact on the economy and financial markets, as described under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” within the Q1 2020 10-Q.

Our sources of debt financing include short-term secured borrowings under residential and business purpose mortgage loan warehouse facilities (including recourse and non-recourse warehouse facilities), short-term securities repurchase facilities, a $10 million committed line of short-term secured credit from a bank, short-term servicer advance financing, a secured, revolving debt facility collateralized by mortgage servicing rights, and subordinate securities financing facilities. During the second quarter of 2020, we repaid secured borrowings by our wholly-owned subsidiary, RWT Financial, LLC, under its borrowing facility with the FHLBC.

FHLBC and at June 30, 2020, $1 million of advances remained outstanding. We do not expect to be able to increase borrowings under this borrowing facility above the existing $1 million of advances outstanding.

Aggregate borrowing limits are stated under certain of these facilities, and certain other facilities have no stated borrowing limit, but eachmany of the facilities (with the exception of the $10 million committed line of short-term secured credit and two business purpose residential loan warehouse facilities secured by residential bridge loans) isare uncommitted, which means that any request we make to borrow funds under these uncommitted facilities may be declined for any reason, even if at the time of the borrowing request we have then-outstanding borrowings that are less than the borrowing limits under these facilities. In general, financing under these facilities is obtained by transferring or pledging mortgage loans or securities to the counterparty in exchange for cash proceeds (in an amount less than 100% of the principal amount of the transferred or pledged assets). While


95


Under many of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities, our short-term securities repurchase facilities, and our secured, revolving debt facility collateralized by mortgage service rights, while transferred or pledged assets are financed under athe facility, to the extent the market value of the assets, or the collateral underlying those assets, declines, we are generally required to either immediately reacquire the assets or meet a margin requirement to transfer or pledge additional assets or cash in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. During the second quarter of 2020, we amended several of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities to revise these margin call provisions to remove obligations to make margin calls for changes in the market value of transferred or pledged assets. Under these revised agreements, if the estimated value of a property securing a financed mortgage loan declines, based on, for example, an appraisal or broker-price opinion, then the creditor may demand that we transfer additional collateral to the creditor (in the form of cash, U.S. Treasury obligations (in certain cases), or additional residential mortgage loans) with a value equal to the amount of the decline. At June 30, 2020, all of our residential mortgage loan warehouse facilities that retained market-value based margin call provisions had been repaid or suspended. Of our active financing arrangements with outstanding balances at June 30, 2020, only our short-term securities repurchase facilities (with $312 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020), our secured, revolving debt facility collateralized by mortgage service rights (with $20 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020), and one of our business purpose residential loan warehouse facilities (with $43 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020) retain market-value based margin call provisions.

Margin call provisions under these facilities are further described in Part I, Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Margin Call Provisions Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.” Financial covenants included in these facilities are further described Part I, Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Financial Covenants Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.”

Because many of these borrowing facilities are uncommitted, (except two business purpose residential loan warehouse facilities secured by residential bridge loans), at any given time we may not be able to obtain additional financing under them when we need it, exposing us to, among other things, liquidity risks of the types described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 under the heading “Market Risks.” In addition, with respect to mortgage loans that at any given time are already being financed through these warehouse facilities, we are exposed to market, credit, liquidity, and other risks of the types described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 under the heading “Market Risks,” if and when those loans or securities become ineligible to be financed, decline in value, or have been financed for the maximum term permitted under the applicable facility. Additionally, our access to financing under the borrowing facility with the FHLBC is subject to the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors - Federal regulations may limit, eliminate, or reduce the attractiveness of our subsidiary’s ability to use borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago to finance the mortgage loans and securities it holds and acquires, which could negatively impact our business and operating results” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, and through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with the financial covenants associated with our short-term debt and other debt financing facilities. However, significant and widespread decreases in the fair values of our assets, including decreases of the magnitude that resulted from the impact of the pandemic during the first quarter of 2020, could cause us to breach the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities related to net worth and leverage. In particular, with respect to: (i)during the first and second quarters of 2020, we amended financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum dollar amount of stockholders’ equity or tangible net worth, at September 30, 2019 our level of stockholders’ equity and tangible net worth resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants by more than $200 million; and (ii) financial covenants that require us to maintain recourse indebtedness below a specified ratio, at September 30, 2019 our leveland financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum dollar amount of recourse indebtedness resultedliquidity in certain borrowing agreements on a permanent basis, and we repaid and suspended certain other borrowing facilities; however, we cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain compliance with such amended covenants. Such covenants, if breached, can result in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements, and other risks described under the caption “Our use of financial leverage exposes us to increased risks, including liquidity risks from margin calls and potential breaches of the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities, which could result in compliance withour being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these covenants at a level such that we could incur at least $600 millionfacilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements in additional recourse indebtedness.Part II, Item 1A of our Q1 2020 10-Q.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions that may require future cash payments. As required by GAAP, some of these obligations are recorded on the balance sheet, while others are off-balance sheet or recorded on the balance sheet in amounts different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction.
For additional information on our contractual obligations, see the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations section in the MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
For additional information on our commitments and contingencies as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, see Note 16 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and the possible effects of changes in estimates on our consolidated financial statements is included in Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Management discusses the ongoing development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the board of directors.
We expect quarter-to-quarter GAAP earnings volatility from our business activities. This volatility can occur for a variety of reasons, including the timing and amount of purchases, sales, calls, and repayment of consolidated assets, changes in the fair values of consolidated assets and liabilities, increases or decreases in earnings from mortgage banking activities, and certain non-recurring events. In addition, the amount or timing of our reported earnings may be impacted by technical accounting issues and estimates. Our critical accounting policies and the possible effects of changes in estimates on our consolidated financial statements are included in the "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section of Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
In addition to the regular volatility we may experience on a quarterly basis, the ongoing impact of the pandemic on the United States economy, homeowners, renters of housing, the housing market, the mortgage finance markets and the broader financial markets, has caused additional volatility impacting many of our estimates. It is difficult to fully assess the impact of the pandemic at this time, including because of the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the pandemic domestically and internationally, as well as the uncertainty around the efficacy of Federal, State and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to its direct and indirect impacts on many aspects of Americans’ lives and economic activity. Continued volatility resulting from the pandemic could impact our critical estimates and lead to significant period-to-period earnings volatility.
Market Risks
We seek to manage risks inherent in our business — including but not limited to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, and fair value risk — in a prudent manner designed to enhance our earnings and dividends and preserve our capital. In general, we seek to assume risks that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage such risks, and to maintain capital levels consistent with these risks. Information concerning the risks we are managing, how these risks are changing over time, and potential GAAP earnings and taxable income volatility we may experience as a result of these risks is discussed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
Other Risks
In addition to the market and other risks described above, our business and results of operations are subject to a variety of types of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20182019 and in thisour Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
A discussion of new accounting standards and the possible effects of these standards on our consolidated financial statements is included in Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Information concerning market risk is incorporated herein by reference to Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as supplemented by the information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and “Market Risks” within Item 2 above. Other than the developments described thereunder, including changes in the fair values of our assets, there have been no other material changes in our quantitative or qualitative exposure to market risk since December 31, 2018.2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed on our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirdsecond quarter of 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On or about December 23, 2009,There is no significant update regarding the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the “FHLB-Seattle”) filed a complaintlitigation matters described in the Superior CourtPart I, Item 3 in Redwood’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the State of Washington (case number 09-2-46348-4 SEA) against Redwood Trust, Inc., our subsidiary, Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc. (“SRF”), Morgan Stanley & Co., and Morgan Stanley Capital I, Inc. (collectively,year ended December 31, 2019 under the “FHLB-Seattle Defendants”), which alleged thatheading “Legal Proceedings.” At June 30, 2020, the FHLB-Seattle Defendants made false or misleading statements in offering materials for a mortgage pass-through certificate (the “Seattle Certificate”) issued in the Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2005-4 securitization transaction (the “2005-4 RMBS”) and purchased by the FHLB-Seattle. The Seattle Certificate was issued with an original principalaggregate amount of approximately $133 million, and, at September 30, 2019, approximately $128 million of principal and $12 million of interest payments had been madeloss contingency reserves established in respect of the Seattle Certificate. As of September 30,FHLB-Seattle and Schwab litigation matters described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $2 million.
In addition to those matters, as previously disclosed, in connection with the Seattle Certificate had a remaining outstanding principal amount of approximately $6 million. The matter was subsequently resolved and the claims were dismissed by the FHLB Seattle as to all the FHLB Seattle Defendants. At the time the Seattle Certificate was issued, Redwood agreed to indemnify the underwritersimpact of the 2005-4 RMBS, which underwriters were named as defendantseffects of the pandemic on the non-Agency mortgage finance market and on our business and operations, a small number of the counterparties that have regularly sold residential mortgage loans to us believe that we breached perceived obligations to them, and requested or demanded that we purchase loans from them and/or compensate them for perceived damages resulting from our decisions earlier in the action, for2020 not to purchase certain loans from them (“Residential Loan Seller Demands”). As previously disclosed, one such counterparty filed a breach of contract lawsuit against us alleging that it has suffered in excess of $2 million of losses and expenses they might incur as a result of claims made against them relatingour alleged failure to this RMBS, including,purchase residential mortgage loans from it.
We believe that these Residential Loan Seller Demands are without limitation, certainmerit or subject to defenses and we intend to defend vigorously any such allegations and any related demand or claim to which we are or become a party. Despite our beliefs about the legal expenses. Regardless of the resolution of this litigation, we could incur a loss as a resultmerits of these indemnities.
On or about July 15, 2010, The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”) filed a complaintallegations, because our ordinary course of business is to seek to continue to regularly engage in the Superior Court for the State of Californiamutually beneficial transactions with these counterparties, in San Francisco (case number CGC-10-501610) against SRF and 26 other defendants (collectively, the “Schwab Defendants”), which alleged that the Schwab Defendants made false or misleading statements in offering materials for various residential mortgage-backed securities sold or issued by the Schwab Defendants. Schwab alleged only a claim for negligent misrepresentation under California state law against SRF and sought unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees and costs from SRF. Schwab claimed that SRF made false or misleading statements in offering materials for a mortgage pass-through certificate (the “Schwab Certificate”) issued in the 2005-4 RMBS and purchased by Schwab. The Schwab Certificate was issued with an original principal amount of approximately $15 million, and, at September 30, 2019, approximately $14 million of principal and $1 million of interest payments had been made in respect of the Schwab Certificate. As of September 30, 2019, the Schwab Certificate had a remaining outstanding principal amount of approximately $1 million. On November 14, 2014, Schwab voluntarily dismissed with prejudice its negligent misrepresentation claim, which resulted in the dismissal with prejudice of SRF from the action. Subsequently, the matter was resolved and Schwab dismissed its claims against the lead underwriter of the 2005-4 RMBS. At the time the Schwab Certificate was issued, Redwood agreed to indemnify the underwriters of the 2005-4 RMBS, which underwriters were also named as defendants in the action, for certain losses and expenses they might incur as a result of claims made against them relating to this RMBS, including, without limitation, certain legal expenses. Regardless of the resolution of this litigation, Redwood could incur a loss as a result of these indemnities.
Through certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries,some cases we have been willing to engage in discussions with these counterparties with the past engaged in,intention of reaching resolution and expectstructuring arrangements that incentivize both the counterparty and us to continue to engage in activities relatingresidential loan purchase and sale transactions in the future.
With respect to certain of the Residential Loan Seller Demands, these resolution discussions have been successful in resolving, or establishing a framework that we believe will be the basis for successfully resolving, the demands of these counterparties, including through forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements that incentivize both the counterparty and us to continue to engage in residential loan purchase and sale transactions in the future. With respect to these counterparties, we have incurred or expect to incur certain costs in connection with finalizing these arrangements (including costs that are contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with these counterparties that we expect to generate future revenue for the Company) and have recorded any such actual costs incurred through June 30, 2020, as well as an accrual for the estimated costs associated with counterparties where a go-forward framework has been discussed but not finalized, through Mortgage Banking Activities, net in our Residential Lending segment. In accordance with GAAP, the accrual for estimated costs is based on the opinion of management, that it is probable that these forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements will result in an expense and the amount of expense can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of these actual costs, together with the accrual for estimated costs, was $5 million, a significant portion of which would be contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with these counterparties, with the expectation of generating future revenue for the Company
With respect to the acquisitionremaining Residential Loan Seller Demands, our beliefs about the legal merits of these allegations and securitizationour discussions with these counterparties have resulted in us determining that a significant loss from these matters is not probable. With respect to these remaining Residential Loan Seller Demands, based on the foregoing, we have concluded that we can estimate an aggregate range of residential mortgage loans. In addition, certainreasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demands of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have in the past engaged in activities relating to the acquisitionbetween zero and securitization$1.5 million.
Future developments (including receipt of debt obligationsadditional information and other assets through the issuance of collateralized debt obligations (commonly referred to as CDO transactions). Because of this involvement in the securitization and CDO businesses, we could become the subject of litigationdocuments relating to these businesses, includingmatters, new or additional litigation of the type described above, and we could also become the subject of governmental investigations, enforcement actions,resolution or lawsuits, and governmental authorities could allege that we violated applicable law or regulation in the conduct of our business. As an example, in July 2016 we became aware of a complaint filed by the State of California on April 1, 2016 against Morgan Stanley & Co. and certain of its affiliates alleging, among other things, that there were misleading statements contained in offering materials for 28 different mortgage pass-through certificates purchased by various California investors, including various California public pension systems, from Morgan Stanley and alleging that Morgan Stanley made false or fraudulent claims in connection with the sale of those certificates. Of the 28 mortgage pass-through certificates that were the subject of the complaint, two were Sequoia mortgage pass-through certificates issued in 2004 and two were Sequoia mortgage pass-through certificates issued in 2007. With respect to each of those certificates, our wholly-owned subsidiary, RWT Holdings, Inc., was the sponsor and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc., was the depositor. The plaintiffs subsequently withdrew from the litigation their claims based on eight of the 28 mortgage pass-through certificates, including one of the Sequoia mortgage pass-through certificates issued in 2004. We believe this matter was subsequently resolved and the plaintiffs withdrew their remaining claims. At the time these Sequoia mortgage pass-through certificates were issued, Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc. and Redwood Trust agreed to indemnify the underwriters of these certificates for certain losses and expenses they might incur as a result of claims made against themsettlement communications relating to these certificates,matters, resolutions of similar claims against other industry participants in similar circumstances, or receipt of additional Residential Loan Seller Demands) could result in our concluding in the future to establish additional accruals or reserves or modify our aggregate range of reasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demand matters. Our actual losses, and any accruals or reserves we may establish in the future relating to these matters may be materially higher than the accruals, reserves and the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses we have estimated above, respectively, including without limitation,in the event that any of these matters proceed to trial and result in a judgment against us. We cannot be certain legal expenses.

In accordance with GAAP, we review the need for any loss contingency reserves and establish reserves when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that a matter would result in a liability and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, we record receivables for insurance recoveries relating to litigation-related losses and expenses if and when such amounts are covered by insurance and recovery of such losses or expenses are due. At September 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves established in respect of the FHLB-Seattle and Schwab litigation matters described above was $2 million. We review our litigation matters each quarter to assess these loss contingency reserves and make adjustments in these reserves, upwards or downwards, as appropriate, in accordance with GAAP based on our review.
In the ordinary course of any litigation matter, including certain of the above-referenced matters, we have engaged and may continue to engage in formal or informal settlement communications with the plaintiffs or co-defendants. Settlement communications we have engaged in relating to certain of the above-referenced litigation matters are one of the factors that have resulted in our determination to establish the loss contingency reserves described above. We cannot be certain that any of these matters will be resolved through a settlement prior to trial and we cannot be certain that the resolution of these matters, whether through trial or settlement, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future period.
Future developments (including resolution of substantive pre-trial motions relating to these matters, receipt of additional information and documents relating to these matters (such as through pre-trial discovery), new or additional settlement communications with plaintiffs relating to these matters, or resolutions of similar claims against other defendants in these matters) could result in our concluding in the future to establish additional loss contingency reserves or to disclose an estimate of reasonably possible losses in excess of our established reserves with respect to these matters. Our actual losses with respect to the above-referencedabove referenced litigation matters may be materially higher than the aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves we have established in respect of these litigation matters, including in the event that any of these matters proceeds to trial and the plaintiff prevails. Other factors that could result in our concluding to establish additional loss contingency reserves or estimate additional reasonably possible losses, or could result in our actual losses with respect to the above-referenced litigation matters being materially higher than the aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves we have established in respect of these litigation matters include that: there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved; information obtained or rulings made during the lawsuits could affect the methodology for calculation of the available remedies; and we may have additional obligations pursuant to indemnity agreements, representations and warranties, and other contractual provisions with other parties relating to these litigation matters that could increase our potential losses.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our risk factors are discussed under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 and under Part II, Item 1A ofin our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. In addition, the following risk factors reflect recent developments.2020.

State and/or local regulations may reduce the value of single-family rental or multifamily properties collateralizing mortgage loans we own, or those underlying the securities or other investments we own. As a result, the value of these types of mortgage loans, securities, and other investments may be negatively impacted, which impacts could be material.
Numerous counties and municipalities, including those in which certain of the properties securing single-family rental and multifamily mortgage loans we own, or those underlying the securities or other investments we own, are located, impose rent control or rent stabilization rules on apartment buildings.  These ordinances may limit rent increases to fixed percentages, to percentages of increases in the consumer price index, to increases set or approved by a governmental agency, or to increases determined through mediation or binding arbitration.  In some jurisdictions, including, for example, New York City, many apartment buildings are subject to rent stabilization and some units are subject to rent control.  These regulations, among other things, may limit the ability of single-family rental and multifamily property owners who have borrowed money (including in the form of mortgage debt) to finance their property or properties to raise rents above specified percentages.  Any limitations on a borrower’s ability to raise property rents may impair such borrower’s ability to repair or renovate the mortgaged property or repay its mortgage loan. 


Some states, counties and municipalities have imposed or may impose in the future stricter rent control regulations.  For example, on June 14, 2019, the New York State Senate passed the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (the “HSTP Act”), which, among other things, limits the ability of landlords to increase rents in rent stabilized apartments in New York State at the time of lease renewal and after a vacancy.  The HSTP Act also limits potential rent increases for major capital improvements and for individual apartment improvements in such rent stabilized apartments.  In addition, the HSTP Act permits certain qualified localities in the State of New York to implement the rent stabilization system.  In addition, the California State Assembly passed Assembly Bill 1482 (“AB 1482”), which, among other things, will prevent landlords in California from increasing the gross rental rate by more than 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living in any 12-month period and require landlords to have “just cause” when evicting a tenant that has continuously and lawfully occupied a residential property for 12 months. Such “just cause” may include, among other things, the failure to pay rent, committing waste and assigning or subletting the premises in violation of the tenant’s lease. In addition, the Oregon State House passed Senate Bill 608 (“SB 608”), which, among other things, will limit rent increases to 7% each year, in addition to inflation, and would, in most cases, require landlords to provide notice and give a reason for evicting tenants. The HSTP Act, AB 1482 or SB 608 may reduce the value of the single-family rental and multifamily properties collateralizing mortgage loans we own, or those underlying the securities or other investments we own, that are located in the States of New York, California or Oregon, respectively, that are subject to the applicable rent control regulations. The value of single-family rental and multifamily mortgage loans, securities, and other investments may be negatively impacted by rent control or rent stabilization laws, regulations, or ordinances, which impacts may be material.  

Our acquisition of CoreVest could fail to improve our business or result in diminished returns, could expose us to new or increased risks, and could increase our cost of doing business.

On October 15, 2019, we completed the acquisition of equity interests in CoreVest American Finance Lender LLC and several of its affiliates (CAFL and such affiliates collectively, “CoreVest”), an originator and portfolio manager of business-purpose real estate loans. Prior to the completion of this acquisition, we previously acquired 5 Arches in March 2019. If we experience challenges with the performance or integration of the CoreVest and 5 Arches platforms that we did not anticipate or cannot mitigate, the returns we expected with respect to this investment may not be generated, in the same manner as described in the risk factor titled "Our acquisition of 5 Arches could fail to improve our business or result in diminished returns, could expose us to new or increased risks, and could increase our cost of doing business" under Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Additionally, CoreVest engages in and sponsors securitization transactions relating to single-family rental mortgage loans, and in connection with the acquisition of CoreVest, we acquired, and we expect to continue to acquire, mortgage-backed securities issued in CoreVest's securitization transactions. These securitization transactions and investments expose us to potentially material risks, in the same manner as described in the risk factor titled "Through certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries we have engaged in the past, and expect to continue to engage in, securitization transactions relating to real estate mortgage loans. In addition, we have invested in and continue to invest in mortgage-backed securities and other ABS issued in securitization transactions sponsored by other companies. These types of transactions and investments expose us to potentially material risks" under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


In February 2018, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of our common stock, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchases of common stock to $100 million, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. This authorization increased the previous share repurchase authorization approved in February 2016 and has no expiration date. This repurchase authorization does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. Under this authorization, shares or securities may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, $100 million of this current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock.stock and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities.

Item 5. Other Information
At the close of business on Friday, November 8, 2019, Lola Bondar will cease to serve as Redwood’s principal accounting officer. Ms. Bondar will remain employed by Redwood during a subsequent transition period prior to her departure from Redwood. Collin Cochrane, Redwood’s Chief Financial Officer, will also be designated as Redwood’s principal accounting officer effective at the close of business on November 8, 2019. In connection with assuming the principal accounting officer role, Mr. Cochrane will not receive any additional compensation or benefits and will not enter into any written contract or arrangement with Redwood. Information responsive to the requirements of Form 8-K, Item 5.02(c)&(e), with respect to Mr. Cochrane has been previously disclosed in Redwood’s 2019 Annual Proxy Statement, filed2020 annual proxy statement (filed with the SEC on April 27, 2020) included a discussion of the process that the Compensation Committee of Redwood’s Board of Directors is undertaking to assess its executive compensation program and consider changes to the program that may be appropriate in light of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Redwood and the markets and business environment it operates within. On August 5, 2020, the Compensation Committee completed an initial phase of this assessment and approved certain matters relating to 2020 executive compensation, as described below.
Although it has completed this initial phase, the Compensation Committee intends to continue its assessment of Redwood’s executive compensation program and to disclose, over the remainder of 2020, any further updates to the program. In addition, the Compensation Committee Chair is currently planning to engage with shareholders in late 2020 and/or early 2021 to discuss updates to the program designed to support Redwood’s ongoing financial, operational, and strategic objectives.
The Compensation Committee’s August 5, 2020 determinations were made after review and discussion of various considerations with management and with the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, F.W. Cook & Co. Key considerations included that:
There has been a pronounced impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on Redwood’s financial condition, with significant realized and unrealized losses since December 31, 2020 and a marked decline in the market value of Redwood’s common stock since mid-March 2020;
101



Redwood has historically delivered a significant portion of executive compensation in the form of long-term equity-based awards with three- or four-year performance measurement and/or vesting and holding periods; and, as a result of the impact of the pandemic, the value of multiple years of annual equity-based compensation has significantly declined (or, as a practical matter, become unlikely to be realized) based on the negative total return experience of Redwood’s stockholders since mid-March 2020;

While the Committee believes this is appropriate pay-for-performance alignment, the Committee also recognizes that, for the reasons noted above, the performance-based equity awards (PSUs) granted over the past three years no longer provide as meaningful an incentive as was intended when awarded due to the impact of the pandemic;

Annual bonuses under Redwood’s executive compensation program have historically been driven largely by an annual return-on-equity (ROE) based performance target; and, due to pandemic-related losses recorded under GAAP in the first quarter of 2020, Redwood’s 2020 ROE is expected to be negative, even though a significant portion of these losses were unrealized through the end of the second quarter of 2020;

Disciplined and extensive actions taken by Redwood’s executive management, together with the full Redwood workforce, to respond to the impacts of the pandemic have enabled the Company to operate through the end of the second quarter of 2020 while avoiding the need for dilutive capital raising and positioning the Company for future growth and opportunities; and

The impact of the pandemic on Redwood’s labor market has been significant; and competitors that focus on mortgage origination and government-supported sectors of the mortgage market have seen an increase in business activity (e.g., mortgage refinance activity), supported by Federal Reserve and other governmental actions, as well as other macroeconomic factors; and, as a result, competition for talent has increased, which prompted Redwood to take steps to at the end of the second quarter of 2020 to retain key non-executive employees.
After considering these factors, on August 5, 2020, the Compensation Committee made the following determinations and approvals:
Ensure that pay-for-performance principles continue to govern 2020 annual bonuses for current executive officers by:

Eliminating the ability of these executive officers to earn a Company financial performance component of their 2020 target annual bonuses; and

Continuing to provide each of these executive officers with an opportunity to earn a portion of 2020 target annual bonuses based on a year-end review of their individual contribution to recovering from the impacts of the pandemic and positioning Redwood for future growth and opportunities.
The following table details the components of the 2020 target annual bonus opportunity for these executive officers as approved in December 2019, and such information is incorporated hereinas adjusted by reference.

A description of the terms of each of these long-term awards is set forth below.
Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Award. On August 5, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Award to each of the Named Executive Officers of the Company listed in the table below, pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (as amended, the “2014 Incentive Plan”). The terms of these Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Awards are summarized below and are set forth in the form of award agreement included as Exhibit 10.4 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Awards granted on August 5, 2020 are performance-based awards under which the amount of value that vests and that the recipient becomes entitled to receive in cash following vesting will range from 0% to 400% of the granted award value, with vesting of these awards on the third anniversary of the grant date based on relative total stockholder return (“relative TSR”) and continued service through such third anniversary, as further described below.

Vesting of value under these Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Awards will be determined based on Redwood’s relative TSR against a comparator group of companies measured over the three-year vesting period, as set forth in the table below, with under 60th percentile relative TSR performance correlating with no value vesting.

In the event of a termination of the recipient’s service (i) either without “cause” or for “good reason” or (ii) due to the recipient’s death or disability (with terminations of the type described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to as “Qualifying Terminations”), in each case, during the three year performance vesting period, the Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Award will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on relative TSR during the three-year performance vesting period, with the value that ultimately vests (if any) pro-rated in connection with a termination by the Company without “cause” (based on the number of days the recipient was employed during the three-year performance vesting period).

In addition, in the event of a change in control, the vesting of value of these Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Awards will be determined based on relative TSR through a shortened relative TSR performance measurement period ending with the change in control, but remain subject to forfeiture in the event of a termination of service (other than a Qualifying Termination) prior to the third anniversary of grant.

Three-Year Vesting Cash Award. On August 5, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a Three-Year Vesting Cash Award to each of the Named Executive Officers of the Company listed in the table below, pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan. The terms of these Three-Year Vesting Cash Awards are summarized below and are set forth in the form of award agreement included as Exhibit 10.5 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Three-Year Vesting Cash Awards granted on August 5, 2020 will vest over three years, with 25% of each award’s granted award value vesting based on service through the first anniversary of the grant date and 75% of each award’s granted award value vesting based on service through the third anniversary of the grant date. These Three-Year Vesting Cash Awards will also vest in full upon a termination of the recipient’s service (i) either without “cause” or for “good reason” or (ii) due to the recipient’s death or disability.
