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 ascertain entities formed in connection with the securitization of Redwood Choice expanded-prime loans and, beginning in the second quarter of 2021, Redwood Select loans ("Sequoia Choice"Sequoia"), and entities formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest single-family rental loans ("CAFL"). We also consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and Freddie Mac Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction ("SLST") securitizations in which we invested in. Finally, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of certain CoreVest American Finance Lender ("CAFL") securitizations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, in connection with our acquisition of CoreVest.have invested. 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, the underlying loans at the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entity 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.
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.
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.
Acquisitions
In May 2018, Redwood acquired a 20% minority interest in 5 Arches, an originator of business purpose residential loans. On March 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 80% interest in 5 Arches. On October 15, 2019, we acquired CoreVest, an originator and portfolio manager of business purpose residential loans. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 for additional information regarding thesethe acquisitions of 5 Arches, LLC ("5 Arches") and CoreVest American Finance Lender, LLC and certain affiliated entities ("CoreVest"), including purchase price allocations.

We recorded total goodwill of $89 million in 2019 as a result of the total consideration exceeding the fair value of the net assets acquired from 5 Arches and CoreVest. 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 workforces continuing to provide services to the business. We expect $75 million of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. For reporting purposes, we included the intangible assets and goodwill from these acquisitions within the Business Purpose Lending segment.

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 reporting 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 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. We reviewed our finite-lived intangible assets and determined that the estimated lives were appropriate and that there were no indicators of impairment at June 30, 2021.
TheA liability resulting from the contingent consideration arrangement with 5 Arches was initially recorded in 2019 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,first quarter of 2021, we made a cash payment of $11 million and granted $3 milliondistributed 806,068 shares of Redwood common stock and paid $1 million in connection with the first anniversarycash in full settlement of the purchase date. Additionally, as a result of an amendment to the agreement, we reclassified the contingent liability to aremaining deferred liability, as the remaining payments became payable on a set timetable without any remaining contingencies. At September 30, 2020, the carrying value ofconsideration associated with this deferred liability was $14 million and was recorded as a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.6 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, 5 Arches, and CoreVest combined, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as if the acquisitions 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 acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 2018 and should not be taken as indicative of our future consolidated results of operations.

Available-for-Sale SecuritiesOther Investments
Upon adoptionStrategic Investments
We have made and may make additional strategic investments in companies through our RWT Horizons venture investment strategy or at a corporate level. These investments can take the form of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" inequity or debt and often have conversion features. Depending on the first quarter of 2020, we modified our policy for recording 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 security's fair value is less 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 be collected, discounted at the effective interest rate used to accrete the beneficial interest. Any allowance for credit losses in excessterms of the unrealized losses on the beneficial interests are accountedinvestments, we may account 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 effective interest rate. If we intend to sell or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before it recovers in value, the entire impairment amount will be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security'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 first quarter of 2020, we modified our goodwill impairment testing policy. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not thatthese investments under the fair value option or as non-marketable equity securities under the equity method of accounting or the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on that assessment, we believe it is more likely thanmeasurement alternative (to the extent they do not thathave a “readily determinable fair value,” or are not traded in a verifiable public market or are restricted for sale in the public market by a restricted stock legend or otherwise).
Investments accounted for under the fair value option are carried at fair value with periodic changes in value recorded through Investment fair value changes on our consolidated statements of income (loss). For non-marketable securities, we utilize the equity method of accounting when we are able to exert significant influence over but do not control the activities of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value,investee. Under the equity method of accounting, we measure the fair valuegenerally elect to record our share of reporting unitearnings or losses from equity method investments on a one-quarter lag and record a goodwillwe assess our investments for impairment charge for the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceedwhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of our investment might not be recoverable.

Any suchmeasurement alternative, the carrying value of our investment is measured at cost, less any impairment, charges would beplus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
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. In 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 accounted for our available-for-sale securities under the other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") model for debt 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 August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)." This new guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by reducing the number of accounting models to separately present certain conversion features in equity. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. 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.
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. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This new guidance clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. 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. Through SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we have not elected to apply the optional expedients and exceptions to any of our existing contracts, hedging relationships, or other transactions.
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)."

(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.
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.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
Analysis of Consolidated VIEs
At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia, Choice,CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, and Freddie Mac K-Series and CAFL 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 Legacy Sequoia, 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, 2020,2021, the estimated fair value of our investments in the consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia, Choice,CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, and Freddie Mac K-Series and CAFL entities was $5$4 million, $211$234 million, $418$272 million, $27$452 million, and $232$31 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 2018, we consolidatedalso consolidate 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, 2020,2021, 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 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.

We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia and CAFL securitization entities, as we did not meet the GAAP sale criteria at the time we transferred financial assets to these entities. 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.

REDWOOD TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
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, 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.
During the third quarterthree months ended June 30, 2021, we called one of our consolidated CAFL entities and repaid the associated ABS issued. In association with this call, we transferred $45 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale.
During 2020, we re-securitized subordinate securities we owned in our consolidated Freddie Mac SLST securitization trusts, through the transfer of these financial assets to a re-securitization trust that we sponsored. We retain a subordinate investment in the re-securitization trust and maintain certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the entity, as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and the right to receive benefits of and the obligation to absorb losses from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. At securitization, we issued $210 million of ABS and have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost.
Analysis of Unconsolidated VIEs with Continuing Involvement
Since 2012, we have transferred residential loans to 5152 Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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 three months ended June 30, 2021, we called 3 of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities, and purchased $83 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from the securitization trusts. In association with these calls, we realized a $7 million gain on the securities we owned from these called securitizations, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we called 4 of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities, and purchased $101 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from the securitization trusts. In association with these calls, we realized a $9 million gain on the securities we owned from these called securitizations, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). At June 30, 2021, we held $97 million of loans for sale at fair value that were acquired following the calls.

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, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, 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.

(1)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.
(2)The fair value of the loans held by consolidated entities was based on the fair value of the ABS issued by these entities, including securities we own, which we determined were more readily observable, in accordance with accounting guidance for collateralized financing entities. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, and Freddie Mac K-Series and CAFL entities was $215$235 million, $416$268 million, $27$450 million, and $229$31 million, respectively.
(3)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).
(4)As a market convention, certain securities are priced to a no-loss yield and therefore do not include default and loss severity assumptions.

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

In association with these calls, we realized a $7 million gain on the securities we owned from these securitizations, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of AFS securities, respectively, and sold 0 and $55 million of AFS securities, respectively, which resulted in net realized gains of 0 and $5 million, respectively.income (loss). During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2021, we called 4 of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities, and purchased $12$101 million and $21(unpaid principal balance) of loans from the securitization trusts. In association with these calls, we realized a $9 million gain on the securities we owned from these securitizations, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of AFS securities, respectively, and sold $15 million and $82 million of AFS securities, respectively, which resulted in net realized gains of $4 million and $13 million, respectively.income (loss).
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.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had $45$31 million of AFS securities with contractual maturities less than five years, $3$4 million with contractual maturities greater than five years but less than ten years, and the remainder of our AFS securities had contractual maturities greater than ten years.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, after giving effect to purchases, sales, and extinguishment due to credit losses, our consolidated balance sheet included 9688 AFS securities, of which 7 were in an unrealized loss position and 02 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer. At December 31, 2019,2020, our consolidated balance sheet included 10796 AFS securities, of which 1 was5 were in an unrealized loss position and 1 was0 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer.

Evaluating AFS Securities for Credit Losses
Gross unrealized losses on our AFS securities were $3$0.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2020. Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" in the first quarter of 2020, we2021. We evaluate all securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is credit-related (resulting in an allowance for credit losses recorded in earnings) or non-credit-related (resulting in an unrealized loss through other comprehensive income). At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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 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.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our allowance forcurrent expected credit lossesloss ("CECL") allowance related to our AFS securities was $1 million.0. AFS securities for which an 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 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 security credit losses.
The table below summarizes the weighted average of the significant credit quality indicators we used for the credit loss allowance on our AFS securities at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.

Loan Purchase and Interest Rate Lock Commitments
LPCs and IRLCs that qualify as derivatives are recorded at their estimated fair values. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, LPCs and IRLCs had net market valuation gains of $14$53 million and $35$0.3 million, respectively, that were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
To manage the variability in interest expense related to portionsa portion of our long-term debt and certain adjustable-rate securitization entity liabilities that areis 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 a payment of $84 million. For interest rate agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income was $82$79 million and $51$81 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. We will amortizeare amortizing this loss into interest expense over the remaining term of the trust preferred securities and subordinated notes.debt they were originally hedging. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we expect to amortize $4 million of realized losses related to terminated cash flow hedges into interest expense over the next twelve months.
For both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021, we did 0t have any derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, changes in the values of designated cash flow hedges were 0 and negative $33 million, respectively, and were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, changes in the values of designated cash flow hedges were negative $12 million and negative $27 million, respectively, and were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity.

(1)Includes $208 million (principal balance) of ABS issued by a re-securitization trust sponsored by Redwood and accounted for at amortized cost.
During the third quarter of 2020, we transferred all of the subordinate securities we owned from two consolidated re-performing loan securitization VIEs sponsored by Freddie Mac SLST to a re-securitization trust, which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $210 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained 100% of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. The ABS was issued at a discount and we have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the carrying valueprincipal balance of the ABS issued was $203$179 million, and the debt discount was $5and deferred issuance costs were $3 million, for a carrying value of $176 million. The stated coupon of the ABS issued was 4.75% at issuance and the final stated maturity occurs in July 2059. The ABS issued is subject to optional redemption and interest rate step-ups prior to the stated maturity according to the terms of the respective governing agreements.
The actual maturity of each class of ABS issued is primarily determined by the rate of principal prepayments on the assets of the issuing entity. Each series is also subject to redemption prior to the stated maturity according to the terms of the respective governing documents of each ABS issuing entity. As a result, the actual maturity of ABS issued may occur earlier than its stated maturity. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the majority of the ABS issued and outstanding had contractual maturities beyond five years. See Note 4 for detail on the carrying value components of the collateral for ABS issued and outstanding. The following table summarizes the accrued interest payable on ABS issued at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. Interest due on consolidated ABS issued is payable monthly.

We determined that none of our leases contained 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, 2020,2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our leases was 7 years and 5.0%4.9%, respectively.

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.
5 Arches Contingent Consideration
As part of the consideration for our acquisition of 5 Arches, we were committed to make earn-out payments up to $29 million, payable in a mix of cash and Redwood common stock. These contingent earn-out payments were classified as a contingent consideration liability and carried at fair value prior to March 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 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.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2021, other income related to these arrangements was $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and net market valuation losses related to these investments were less than $0.1 million for both periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, other income related to these arrangements was $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and net market valuation losses related to these investments were less than $0.2 million and $1 million, respectively.
All of the loans in the reference pools subject to these risk-sharing arrangements were originated in 2014 and 2015, and at SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the loans had an unpaid principal balance of $1.12 billion$702 million and a weighted average FICO score of 758756 (at origination) and LTV ratio of 75% (at origination). At SeptemberJune 30, 2020, $422021, $29 million of the loans were 90 days or more delinquent, and 0neof which one of these loans werewith an unpaid principal balance of $0.2 million was in foreclosure. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the carrying value of our guarantee obligation was $11$8 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, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, assets of such SPEs totaled $47$34 million and $48$46 million, respectively, and liabilities of such SPEs totaled $11$8 million and $14$10 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)"EPDs") by the underlying mortgage borrowers within certain specified periods following the sales.
At Septemberboth June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, our repurchase reserve associated with our residential loans and MSRs was $9 million and $4 million, respectively, and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
We received 81 and 105 repurchase requests during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and did 0t repurchase anyrepurchased 1 and 0 loans, during either of these periods.respectively. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, we recorded repurchase provisions of $4$0.3 million and reversals of repurchase provisions of $0.2$4 million, respectively, that were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net; Investment fair value changes, net; and Other income on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Loss Contingencies — Litigation, Claims and Demands
There is no significant update regarding the litigation matters described in Note 16 within the financial statements included in Redwood’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 under the heading “Loss Contingencies - Litigation.” At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves established in respect of the FHLB-Seattle and Schwab litigation matters described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 was $2 million.
In 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 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”).
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 intention of reaching resolution, including through structuring 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 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 September 30, 2020, as well as an accrual for the estimated costs associated with counterparties where a resolution or go-forward framework has been agreed to or has been discussed but not finalized, a portion of which was recorded through Other expense and a portion of which was recorded through Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated income statement. In accordance with GAAP, the accrual for estimated costs is based on the opinion of management, that it is probable that these resolutions and forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements will result in an expense and the amount of expense can be reasonably estimated. In addition, as previously disclosed, one such counterparty filed a breach of contract lawsuit against us in May 2020 alleging that it had suffered in excess of $2 million of losses as a result of our alleged failure to purchase residential mortgage loans from it; and in October 2020 we and the plaintiff agreed to settle the lawsuit on mutually satisfactory terms.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $4 million and $9 million of expenses, respectively, in association with Residential Loan Seller Demands. At September 30, 2020,2021, the aggregate amount of our accrual for estimated costs associated with Residentialthe "Residential Loan Seller DemandsDemands" described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $6.5$2 million, a portion of which would beis contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with certain counterparties, with the expectation of generating future revenuecounterparties. We believe we have either resolved or adequately accrued for the Company.
With respect toany unresolved Residential Loan Seller Demands and that there are no other Residential Loan Seller Demands that have not been resolved or been accrued for, our beliefs about the legal merits of these allegations and our 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 ofare reasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demands of between 0 and $1.5 million.
Future developments (including receipt of additional information and documents relating to these matters, new or additional resolution or settlement communications relating to these 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 in the event that any of these matters proceed to trial and result in a judgment against us. We cannot be certain that any of these matters that are not already formally resolved will be resolved through a resolution or settlement and we cannot be certain that the resolution of these matters, whether through litigation, settlement, or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of 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. 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 litigation 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, $8 million of cash-based retention awards were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees that will vest and be paid over the next three years, subject to continued employment through the vesting periods from 2021 through 2023. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Awards ("Cash Performance Awards") with an aggregate granted award value of $2 million, were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees that will vest between 0% to 400% of granted award value based on a relative total stockholder return measure, and are contingent on continued employment over a three-year service period.
The value of the cash-based retention awards is being amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over each award's respective vesting period. The Cash Performance Awards are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, however, are remeasured at fair value each quarter-end and the cumulative straight-line expense is trued-up in respect to their updated value.

Note 23. Segment Information
Redwood operates in 3 segments: Residential Lending, Business Purpose Lending, and Third-Party Investments. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we combined what was previously our Multifamily Investments segment and Third-Party Residential Investments segment into a new segment called Third-Party Investments. Prior periods have been conformed to the current presentation. Following isFor a full description of our current segments.
Residential Lendingsegments, see – consists of a mortgage loan conduit that acquires residential loans from third-party originatorsPart I, Item 1—Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for subsequent sale, securitization, or transfer into our investment portfolio, as well as the investments we retain from these activities. We typically acquire prime, jumbo mortgages and the related mortgage servicing rights on a flow basis from our network of loan sellers and distribute those loans through our Sequoia private-label securitization program or to institutions that acquire pools of whole loans. Our investments in this segment primarily consist of residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") retained from our Sequoia securitizations (some of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) and MSRs retained from jumbo whole loans we sold or securitized. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale and long-term investments we hold within this segment. This segment’s main source of revenue is net interest income from its long-term investments and its inventory of loans held-for-sale, as well as income from mortgage banking activities, which includes valuation increases (or gains) on loans we acquire and subsequently sell, securitize, or transfer into our investment portfolio, and the hedges used to manage risks associated with these activities. Additionally, this segment may realize gains and losses upon the sale of securities. Funding expenses, direct operating expenses, and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.
Business Purpose Lending – consists of a platform that originates and acquires business purpose residential loans for subsequent securitization or transfer into our investment portfolio, as well as the investments we retain from these activities. We typically originate single-family rental and residential bridge loans and distribute certain single-family rental loans through our CoreVest American Finance Lender ("CAFL") private-label securitization program and retain others for investment along with our residential bridge loans. Single-family rental loans are business purpose residential mortgage loans to investors in single-family (1-4 unit) rental properties. Residential bridge loans are business purpose residential mortgage loans to investors rehabilitating and subsequently reselling or renting residential properties. Our investments in this segment primarily consist of securities retained from our CAFL securitizations (which we consolidate for GAAP purposes), and residential bridge loans. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of single-family rental loans held-for-sale and our investments. This segment’s main source of revenue is net interest income from its investments and loans held-for-sale, as well as income from mortgage banking activities, which includes valuation increases (or gains) on loans we originate or acquire and subsequently sell, securitize or transfer into our investment portfolio, and the hedges used to manage risks associated with these activities.

INTRODUCTION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in six main sections:
    Overview
    Results of Operations
Consolidated Results of Operations
Results of Operations by Segment
Investments Detail
Taxable Income and Tax Provision
    Liquidity and Capital Resources
    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
    Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
    New Accounting Standards
Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere in this report and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion in this MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

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
InOur second quarter results included strong GAAP earnings of $90 million ($0.66 per diluted share), and a 6.5% increase in book value to $11.46 at June 30, 2021. On an annualized basis, our first half GAAP return on equity was 31%. Our total economic return to shareholders, which includes growth in book value and dividends paid, was 19% for the thirdfirst half of 2021.
Crisp execution contributed to the second quarter being another successful quarter, but in many ways the past few months have represented a threshold moment for our company. The true potential of 2020,our business has come into sharper focus, particularly as our teams faced formidable challenges and responded with vigor. Indeed, our Residential team executed an improbably strong finish against the backdrop of severe declines in profitability for many other mortgage market participants. Additionally, our Business Purpose Lending ("BPL") team, facing stiff competition, originated significant volumes during the second quarter, reaching levels we positioned ourselveshave not seen since before the COVID-19 pandemic began.
For many residential mortgage originators, recent results were buoyed largely by direct Federal Reserve stimulus. However, with substantial progress in U.S. COVID-19 vaccinations, and a near-total economic reopening across the country, the Federal Reserve has begun reconsidering the size of its support to take advantagethe Agency mortgage market. And, in fact, during the second quarter, the rise in mortgage rates and corresponding decline in refinancing demand by homeowners triggered an unceremonious contraction in margins across the industry. Nowhere was this more apparent than the residential wholesale mortgage channel, where lenders engaged in an all-out price war to preserve volumes, pushing their profit margins to near breakeven levels or worse in the span of opportunities emergingonly a few months. Exaggerating the effects of strong competition was a surge in our markets. Though we remain wary ofpro-cyclical inflationary rhetoric, and a volatile election seasonyield curve driving significant hedging and risingexecution costs for those managing large mortgage loan pipelines – including for us. Against this backdrop, in the second quarter we locked close to $4 billion in jumbo residential loans at margins towards the high-end of our historical target range, underscoring the durability of our earnings power.
During the second quarter, the business purpose lending market also became more crowded, with new competitors using lower mortgage rates to expand their market share – particularly for lower-balance bridge and rental loan products that currently represent a small minority of COVID-19 infections inour origination mix. The shift of households out of apartment living and towards single-family detached homes – a trend that has shown no sign of ebbing despite the "reopening" of most major metropolitan areas – has led to a shortage of high-quality homes, coupled with aggressive demand from both investors and consumers alike. In many partsregions, rent growth has been significantly outstripped by home price appreciation, highlighting the scarcity value of quality housing and the U.S.,multiple constituencies focused on acquiring single-family homes. Leveraging a well-earned reputation as a nimble and reliable life-cycle lender, CoreVest – our business-purpose lending platform – eclipsed $500 million of fundings during the second quarter, balanced between single-family rental and bridge loan originations.
Our sustained performance through this challenging backdrop showcased our strategic foundation and is the essence of what makes Redwood unique. Our mortgage banking businesses are backoffer highly complementary products that drive durable earnings streams at the corporate level. And our investment portfolio continues to operating at full speed and we are optimistic that we will end 2020 on a high note.
After recasting our balance sheet and positioning our businesses to relaunch from a position of strength, we are now conducting new business at a rapid pace and leveragingoffer significant upside as the economy recovers, well beyond what many industry relationships forged over many business cycles. Butobservers had modeled after such a profoundly challenging period fortumultuous pandemic period. Our credit discipline and ability to create our sectorown assets remain key differentiators. The scarcity value and country, we were compelled to think critically about the type of company we want to lead over the long-term – including how we fit into a nation grappling with civil unrest, pandemic fatigue, and a depressed job market.
We emerged with great clarity on who we are and where we are headed. Our business continues moving towards where our capital is most impactful –optionality embedded in our residentialportfolio - through both call rights on securitizations we have sponsored and underlying business purpose lending segments, complemented byloan refinance opportunities – offer upside beyond the current discount to face value of the underlying assets. Notably, this attractive aspect of our portfolio strategies whereis a potential upside inherent in each new securitization we hold distinct competitive advantages. With the Federal Reserve providing an unprecedented amount of stimulus to financial markets, the detachment of asset prices from certain underlying fundamentals is the most pronounced we have seen since the lead up to the Great Financial Crisis. A vast amount of capital is now in need of deployment, and we believe this excess liquidity will continue to support higher prices for mortgage related investments and exacerbate their scarcity value. As such, it has become a strategic priority for many investment firms to access the whole-loans that underlie such investments. This is exactly what Redwood’s residential and business purpose lending platforms are built to generate.
Demand for loans we originate or acquire has only grown stronger as the year has unfolded. This demand has enabled us to enhance our distribution strategies to compete more effectively for volume while reducing our exposure to market volatility. Recently completed non-mark-to-market financing facilities supporting our residential, business purpose, and third party investments, including financing residential loans in forbearance, helped achieve this reduced exposure. While most of these new facilities were completed with our traditional banking counterparties, we are expanding our reach by also working with non-bank financing sources that will allow us to use our working capital more efficiently.
In the third quarter, our residential mortgage lock volume was $2.12 billion, growing from nearly zero in the second quarter. It was also the highest quarterly volume sourced exclusivelysponsor through our residential loan seller network in five years. Moreover, we achieved this through purchase activity with only about 40% ofplatforms.
This foundation has facilitated returns that are significantly outpacing our loan sellers. We also have yet to formally relaunch our expanded prime program, Redwood Choice, which we expect to contribute moregrowing dividends. Redwood's mortgage banking income significantly to our 2021 acquisition volumes. Additionally, the mortgage finance industry remains focused on the refinancing opportunity for conforming mortgage loans. In our view, there is potential for significantly increased jumbo loan origination and acquisition volumes, driven by evolving consumer demand and the potential forexceeded net interest rates on jumbo mortgage loans to continue converging towards those for conforming mortgage loans. Our recent efforts have positioned us to compete effectively in what may be a substantially larger market. The recent completion of our first Sequoia securitization backed largely by loans originated since the COVID-19 crisis began is an important affirmation of our progress.
Similarly, our business purpose origination activity remained strong in the third quarter – providing us with a favorable combination of robust underwriting coupled with higher margins. Our third quarter single-family rental securitization was met with extremely high demand, with the AAA-rated securities pricing with an interest rate of 1.36%. In addition to the benefit from lower benchmark rates, blended credit spreads for the offered bonds were better than the execution we achieved in our final transaction of 2019, well in advance of this spring’s volatility.
As our operating strategies take shape,income at our investment portfolio’s asset values have continued to recover since incurring unrealized lossesportfolio during the first quarter. The significant upsidehalf of 2021, and we have seenexpect this revenue mix will likely continue to migrate toward mortgage banking and by extension our taxable subsidiaries. This proportion is significantly higher than in these investments appearsrecent years and casts a spotlight on a shift in business model that had in many ways been hiding in plain sight. It can also support continued book value expansion over time and an increased level of retained earnings, a zero-cost avenue for additional capital that reduces our marginal need for funding and stands in contrast to be a story unique to Redwood – with many of our competitors exiting their non-agency portfolios in response to the pandemic. Though we can’t predict the pace or extent of a broad-based economic recovery, we believe our portfolio values still have room for further recovery, with the investment portfolio currently yieldinghow others in the low- to mid-double digits to our basis in those assets at September 30, 2020.space manage their balance sheets.
As we focus on growth opportunities ahead, we believe the secular trends supporting our housing thesis are not just intact, but accelerating due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The nationwide push toward single-family housing – whether rented or owned – is no longer a nuanced data point, but has become widely recognized as families look for more space to live socially distanced, work, and learn from home. As this shift unfolds, densely populated cities continue to see home prices and rents stay relatively flat or decline, while neighboring suburbs enjoy robust demand and home price appreciation – in many cases exceeding 10-20% over prior year levels. With over 65% of single-family homes having 3 bedrooms or more, compared to only 11% of apartment units, we expect the trend towards single-family living to continue and to be supported by low interest rates.

Our team continues to relentlessly target a sector of the mortgage market that many had ignored since the COVID-19 pandemic began, in large part due to the absence of Federal Reserve stimulus for this industry sector. The non-Agency market we serve represents the full housing-related mortgage universe outside of government-backed mortgage programs. While it may be significantly smaller than the government-backed market, “small” is but a relative term, as the non-Agency sector is forecasted to increase volumes in 2021 from the $435 billion of originations in 2020. Importantly, this estimate reflects a regulatory pullback in demand for loans on second homes and investor properties by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the “GSEs”) that has the potential to significantly increase volumes in our market in 2021 and beyond, which would be a significant tailwind across our businesses going forward. By targeting a market rather than a specific borrower cohort, our fortunes aren’t tied to the direction of the homeownership rate. Instead, we’re focused on offering a comprehensive product mix that serves both consumers and housing investors. This approach allowed us to ramp quickly after the COVID-19 crisis passed, and our hands-on, solutions-based underwriting model (versus the more prescriptive approach favored by many) keeps us responsive to the customized needs of borrowers and to shifting external trends.
We’re proud of the leadership we demonstrated in the non-Agency market across both our platforms during the second quarter. For our Residential business, strong home price appreciation across the country pushed homeowner equity to the highest levels in at least a decade and naturally drove consumers to loans outside of the conforming balance limits of the GSEs. This has begun to diversify our geographic footprint, and we are now seeing a rising percentage of loan volume coming from parts of the country other than the coasts. We recently refocused our expanded credit product offerings in response to evolving homebuying trends and changes to the CFPB’s Qualified Mortgage (“QM”) regulations. We expect these changes will substantially reduce the frictional costs for a certain cohort of higher “debt-to-income” borrowers, whose financing options remain relatively limited. Volumes in Redwood Choice – our expanded-prime residential loan acquisition program – are once again building and represented close to 15% of our residential loan lock volume in the second quarter, up materially from 5% in the first quarter of 2021. As a reminder, Choice represented as much as 40% of our residential loan lock volume pre-pandemic.
In the context of a sustained supply/demand imbalance for high-quality affordable housing, our BPL business greatly benefited from the diversity and flexibility of its products in the second quarter and continued execution of the growth plan we outlined at the start of 2021. The longevity and depth of CoreVest’s borrower relationships creates a powerful multiplier effect when new borrowers become recurring customers. This intangible was clearly on display in the second quarter as the team posted over a 50% jump in mortgage banking income. We also advanced several strategic initiatives to expand CoreVest’s product reach – most notably a strategic investment in Churchill Finance, from whom we began purchasing smaller-balance single-family rental loans early in the third quarter of 2021.
By continuing to re-invest in our infrastructure, both organically and through partnerships, we see a path to realizing transformative scale. Across our enterprise, we’ve cultivated a talented and inspired workforce and have embraced technology to serve our customers more quickly than ever before. By combining enhanced systems and process improvements with the requisite amount of shoe leather, our teams have driven significant gains in output and efficiency thus far in 2021. As we enter the third quarter of 2021, the Federal Reserve has reiterated its support for the economy, supply chains have begun to adapt to a post COVID-19 world, and interest rates have once again fallen. We’re optimistic that this presents a potential tailwind for our businesses in the third quarter, to the extent the economic recovery builds and demand for housing remains robust. The uncertain outlook for interest rates and inflation underscores the balance of our business model, through which we comprehensively serve both homeowners and housing investors that would otherwise be inefficiently financed.
While we are pleased withexcited about our market positioningperformance during the second quarter and expectationsthe growth potential ahead for growth, navigatingshareholders, what ultimately differentiates our team is the Company through prolonged market volatility will remain a primary focus. The high standards we have set for servicequality of our people, and that our business provides meaningful benefits to our customers are well-established, but itbroader set of stakeholders. The impact our financing solutions have on local communities is critical forpalpable, and our experience and scale have enabled us to maintain an infrastructure that can preserve this standard while allowing usprovide attractively priced debt to scale profitablyboth owner-occupants and safely. To accomplish this, we are committed to innovating and investing in our technology.
Our businesses recently completed an updated technology roadmap that identified significant opportunities to provide technology-enabled solutions to our networkhousing investors nationwide. But there remain cohorts of loan sellers and sponsors. We aim to disrupt traditional private-sector workflows and ideologies that have inhibited automation in the non-agency mortgage market.
Non-agency residential loan purchase workflows and timelines is one such opportunity. We recently announced the pilot launch of Redwood “Rapid Funding”, a technology-enabled program that will permit qualifying originators to transact with us on a significantly accelerated purchase timeline. Our delegated process allows originators to control their closing timelines; adding this feature will enable them to free up capital more quickly and remove risk from their balance sheets. Our program will also create opportunities for faster settlements to our loan buyer network – particularly depositories – that ultimately could lead to better outcomes for borrowers.
At CoreVest, our business purpose lending subsidiary, technology and data architecture have long been hallmarks of the platform’s advantages in client acquisition and retention. A culture of consistent iteration of the technology suitestrong borrowers – particularly in the proprietary use of leading cloud-based systemsunderserved communities – who still don’t have access to automate workflow management – keeps the platform’s first-mover advantage fresh. This client-centric approach keeps customers coming back, as evidencedfinancing at an attractive rate. Redwood’s mission is to offer solutions that can benefit all borrowers not well served by government loan programs, something our approximately 50% repeat borrower rate, but also positions uspeople are focused on and will hold ourselves accountable to capitalize as this area of the market continues to grow.
Though our business platforms serve different parts of the housing market, our core mission unifies them. We aim to make quality housing accessible to all Americans, whether rented or owned. For example, we finance build-to-rent communities in the Midwest, workforce housing in the South,months and high-balance residential mortgages on the coasts. Our mission also speaks to the role we play in our communities, and motivates us to advocate for and advance inclusion and diversity initiatives across our industry. By focusing on financing solutions for all consumers and investors not served by government-sponsored loan programs, we believe we can make a positive impact for our stakeholders – especially our shareholders, employees, and communities.



























years ahead.

During the third quarterOur business purpose lending platform originated $527 million of 2020, we entered into two separate non-recourse debt transactions and closed two non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral) loan warehouse facilities. These transactions helped reduce our recourse debt from $1.82 billion at June 30, 2020 to $1.35 billion at September 30, 2020, and reduced our marginable debt from $375 million at June 30, 2020 to $120 million at September 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 in coming quarters.

Net Interest Income
The decreaseincrease in net interest income during the three-monththree-month periods was primarily due to lowerhigher average asset balances of residential loans held for sale during the thirdsecond quarter of 2021, as compared to the second quarter of 2020, resulting from portfolio repositioningdue to a slowdown in loan acquisitions in the first half of 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and higher borrowing costs associated with non-marginable and non-recourse debt facilities we entered into inpandemic. For the second and third quarters of 2020.
The increasesix-month periods, the decrease in net interest income during the nine-month periodsexpense was primarily duerelated to higher net interest income from bridge loans and loans held for investment at CAFL entities, which we consolidated beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019 following the acquisition of CoreVest. These increases were mostly offset by a reduction in net interest income resulting from sales of investments inaverage asset balances during the first half of 2020, as we repositioned our portfolio in response toduring the COVID-19 pandemic.second quarter of 2020, selling a significant amount of assets and entering into new non-marginable and non-recourse borrowing facilities with higher interest rates.
Additional detail on net interest income is provided in the “Net Interest Income” section that follows.

Mortgage Banking Activities, Net
The increase in income from mortgage banking activities during the three-monththree- and six-month periods was primarily due to improved valuations on SFR loans heldan increase in inventoryloan acquisition and origination volumes at June 30, 2020both our residential and originated during the third quarter of 2020, resulting from improved securitization execution at our business purpose mortgage banking operations.
The decrease in income from mortgage banking activitiesbusinesses during the nine-month periods was predominantly due to a decrease in loan acquisition volumes at our residential mortgage banking business,2021, as well as lowerhigher margins, in both cases due to pandemic-related market disruptions.disruptions in 2020, which adversely impacted our origination volumes in 2020.
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 six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021, positive investment fair value changes reflected continuing improvement in credit performance and spread tightening across our investment portfolio, particularly in our third-party re-performing loan ("RPL") and retained Sequoia and CAFL securities. Additional detail on our investment fair value changes during 2021 is included in the “Results of Operations bySegment” section that follows.During the three months ended June 30, 2020, investment fair value changes reflected further increases inincreased significantly, as the fair value of our investment assets as spreads continued to tighten duringrecovered nearly one-third of the third quarter.unrealized losses recognized in the first quarter of 2020. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 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.

Other Income
The decreaseincrease in other income for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods was primarily the result of losses onan increase in income from our MSR investments, which were driven primarily by increasedgenerally benefited from a stabilization in prepayment speeds resulting from recent declines in interest rates. Additionally, we recorded a $2 million gain associated with the re-measurement of our initial minority investment and purchase option in 5 Arches during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2021.
Realized Gains, Net
During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021, we realized gains of $8 million and $11 million, respectively, primarily resulting from the call of one and four seasoned Sequoia securitizations, respectively, and the sale of $3 million and $5 million of AFS securities, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we realized gains of $1$26 million and $30 million, respectively, primarily resulting from the sale of zero and $55 million of AFS securities, respectively, and for the nine-month period, a $25 million gain from the repurchase of $125 million of convertible debt during the second quarter of 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we realized gains of $5 million and $18 million, respectively, primarily from the sale of $15 million and $82 million of AFS securities, respectively, and the call of a seasoned Sequoia securitization. Of note, all of the gains from extinguishment of debt were excluded from our diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in accordance with GAAP. See Note 17 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on this calculation.
General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods primarily resulted from $4 millionincreased accruals of variable compensation expense associated with improved financial results in 2021 as compared to 2020, as well as long-term incentive award expense from awards granted in the second half of 2020. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in fixed compensation costs, legal and $19 million of additional expenses, respectively, from the consolidation of 5 Arches and CoreVest operations during 2019 after their respective acquisitions.
Loan Acquisition Costs
The increase in loan acquisitionother costs for the three- and nine-month periods primarily resulted from an increase in origination activity at our business purpose mortgage banking operations, and also increased as a result of the acquisition of CoreVestcost savings measures implemented during the fourth quarter of 2019.2020.
Other Expenses
The increasedecrease in other expenses for the three-month periods was primarily due to higher amortization expense from intangible assets we recorded in association with the acquisitions of 5 Arches and CoreVest in 2019. The increase in other expenses for the nine-monthsix-month periods was primarily due to $89 million of goodwill impairment expense at our Business Purpose Lending segment recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

2020 that was taken as a result of the onset of pandemic- and liquidity-related disruptions.
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-monththree- and six-month periods, the increase in provision for income taxes was primarily the result of higherpositive GAAP income earned at our TRS in the current year versus the prior year. For the nine-month periods, the change2021, as compared to a benefit from income taxes from a provision for income taxessignificant loss in the prior year was the result of year-to-date GAAP losses at our TRS 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 assets.

While our convertible debt and trust-preferred interest expense is generally allocated to our segments, given the large balance of undeployed capital (cash) held at a corporate level during the second and third quarters of 2020, a portion of the convertible debt expense was allocated against this capital.
Results of Operations by Segment
We report on our business using three distinct segments: Residential Lending, Business Purpose Lending, and Third-Party Investments. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we combined what was previously our Multifamily Investments segment and Third-Party Residential Investments segment into a new segment called Third-Party Investments. Prior periods have been conformed to the current presentation. For additional information on our segments, refer to Note 23 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following table presents the segment contribution from our three segments reconciled to our consolidated net income for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

The following sections provide a discussion of the results of operations at each of our three business segments for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.
The decreaseincrease in net incomeexpense from Corporate/Other for the three-month periods was primarily due to $3 million of convertible debt expense allocated to this segment for the third quarter of 2020, as discussed above. The increase in net income from Corporate/Other for the nine-monththree- and six-month periods was primarily due to a $25 million gain associated with the repurchase of $125 million of convertible debt in the second quarter of 2020.

Residential Lending Segment
Overview
Our Residential Lending segment generated $7$31 million of net income during the thirdsecond quarter of 2020,2021, driven primarily by $12$27 million of mortgage banking income and $6 million of net interest income from investments. Residential mortgageMortgage banking activities improved significantly duringincome decreased from the thirdfirst quarter of 2020,2021, as loan purchase commitments increased to $1.20of $2.7 billion in the second quarter were 22% lower than the first quarter and gross margins recovered to pre-pandemic levels.normalized towards the high end of our historic target range.
Our Residential Lending segment generated $33$53 million of net income during the secondfirst quarter of 2021, driven primarily by $64 million of mortgage banking income and $6 million of net interest income from investments. Mortgage banking income increased significantly during the quarter, as loan purchase commitments increased 41% from the fourth 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 remaining loan inventory from the end of the first quarterto $3.51 billion, 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 a $19 million net loss from mortgage banking operations, which was driven by decreased profitability on securitizations that settled later in the first quarter and from lower marks on loan inventory held at quarter-end, resulting from pandemic-related market dislocations.

During the third quarter of 2020, we did not add or dispose of any securities within our residential lending investment portfolio. 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 quarter. During the first quarter of 2020, we sold $83 million of securities from our residential lending investment portfolio and retained $13 million of investment securities from three Sequoia securitizations we completed during the quarter.
As a result of the economic and financial market impacts of the pandemic, the terms of our FHLBC facility evolved and in March we began entering into transactions to sell several pools of residential whole loans financed through this facility with the objective to pay down our FHLBC borrowings. During the second quarter of 2020, we completed the sale of nearly all of our residential loans previously financed at the FHLBC, and repaid all but $1 million of borrowings under this facility. We do not expect to increase borrowings under our FHLBC facility above the existing $1 million of borrowings outstanding.

Spreads generally continued to tighten during the third quarter of 2020, which resulted in positive fair value changes for many of our investments, recovering a further portion of the negative fair value changes incurred during the first quarter of 2020 due to the pandemic. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2020, most of our investment securities experienced increased prepayments, which generally benefited our subordinate securities, but negatively impacted our interest-only and certificated servicing securities and caused a net negative fair value change for our trading securities. Certain of our subordinate securities also experienced negative fair value changes due to increased delinquencies and loss expectations.

Mortgage banking income is comprised of net interest income from loans held-for-sale in inventory and mortgage banking activities. Income from mortgage banking activities is comprised of mark-to-market adjustments on loans from the time they are purchased to when they are sold, mark-to-market adjustments on new and outstanding loan purchase commitments, gains/losses from associated hedges, and other miscellaneous income/expenses (see Note 19 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item I1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q)10-Q for further detail).
During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our residential mortgage loan conduit entered into loan purchase commitments of $2.12 billion, purchased $176 million of prime residential jumbo loans and sold $89 million of loans to third parties. At September 30, 2020, we had identified $1.79locked $3.90 billion of loans ($2.74 billion adjusted for expected pipeline fallout - i.e, loan purchase commitments), including $3.33 billion of Select loans and $0.57 billion of Choice loans, and purchased $3.45 billion of loans. Approximately 60% of loans locked in the second quarter were purchase-money loans and 40% were refinancings. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we distributed $1.82 billion of loans through whole loan sales, and completed three securitizations for a total of $1.53 billion.
At June 30, 2021, we had $1.06 billion of loans in inventory on our balance sheet, our loan pipeline included $2.47 billion of loans identified for purchase (gross loan locks outstanding,(locked loans, unadjusted for fallout), and we had outstandingentered into forward sale agreements for $525 million$1.21 billion of loans.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2020, we transferred $271 million of loans to a Sequoia securitization. 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 entered into loan purchase commitments of $3.25 billion, purchased $2.70 billion of prime residential jumbo loans, transferred $1.62 billion of loans to a Sequoia Select securitization 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.quarter.
We utilize a combination of capital and our residential loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had residential warehouse facilities outstanding with foursix different counterparties, with $600 million$2.35 billion of total capacity and $518 million$1.30 billion of available capacity. These included non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral)collateral that is non-delinquent) facilities with $200$800 million of total capacity and marginable facilities with $400 million$1.55 billion of total capacity.
Business Purpose Lending Segment
Overview
Our Business Purpose Lending segment generated $52 million of net income during the third quarter of 2020, driven primarily by $48 million of mortgage banking income and $17 million of positive investment fair value changes. Business purpose mortgage banking activities improved from the second quarter of 2020, as spreads tightened significantly on securitization execution, resulting in improved valuations on SFR loans.
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 triggered by the pandemic. Mortgage banking income decreased due to decreased profitability on a securitization that settled later in the first quarter and from lower marks on loan inventory held at quarter-end, resulting from the pandemic-related market dislocation.

Business purpose mortgage banking income in the second quarter of 2021 benefited from a 37% increase in origination volume from the first quarter of 2021 and modest spread tightening on securitization execution during the second quarter. Our business purpose investments saw an increase in interest income in the second quarter from a higher average balance of investments compared to the first quarter of 2021 and increased positive fair value changes incurreddue to continued spread tightening.
Our Business Purpose Lending segment generated $21 million of net income during the first quarter of 2021, driven primarily by $22 million of mortgage banking income and $13 million of net interest income from investments. Business purpose mortgage banking income normalized in the first quarter of 2021, relative to the third and fourth quarters of 2020, as more modest spread tightening on securitization execution during the quarter had a reduced impact to the valuation of our loans held in inventory at the beginning of the quarter. Net interest income from BPL investments increased from the fourth quarter of 2020 due to the pandemic. While spreads generally tightened on most of our CAFL securities investments, certain of our subordinate securities experienced negative fair value changes due to increased delinquencies and loss expectations. Additionally, while spreads generally tightened on most of our residential bridge loans, we also experienced an increase in non-performing residential bridge loans (see Investments section that follows for additional informationhigher yield maintenance income on our residentialSFR securities resulting from faster prepayments, and reduced debt costs on our bridge loans and associated delinquencies).loan portfolio resulting from a decrease in leverage on these assets.

During the second and third quarters of 2020, we entered into new non-recourse facilities to finance bridge loan investments and we entered into new non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral) recourse facilities that will be used to finance business purpose bridge loans. 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 in coming quarters.

(1)Our tax results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are estimates until we file tax returns for this year.

In accordance with Internal Revenue Code rules applicable to disaster losses, TRS taxable income for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, was adjusted to recognize $59 million of losses incurred in the first quarter of 2020 into the fourth quarter of 2019.
(2)Our tax results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are estimates until we file tax returns for these years.
Net capital gains realized in 2021 are not included in REIT taxable income as they are offset by a capital loss carryforward of $328 million which was generated in 2020. Any unused portion of the capital loss carryforward will expire at the end of 2025.
Under normal circumstances, our minimum REIT dividend requirement would be 90% of our annual REIT taxable income. However, we currently maintain a $28$36 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; therefore, REIT taxable income must exceed our dividend distribution for us to utilize a portion of our NOL and any remaining amount will carry forward into 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 Of the $36 million of NOLs, $29 million will be determined based on our full-yearexpire after 2029, if not utilized by then, and $7 million have an indefinite carryover period. The $7 million of NOLs is available to offset 80% of taxable income and dividend distributions. in any given year.
We currently expect only a small portion, if any,all or nearly all of theour 2021 dividend distributions to shareholders in 2020 will be taxable as dividendordinary income and the remainder willfor federal income tax purposes. Any remaining amount is currently expected to be characterized as a return of capital, which in general is generally nontaxable.nontaxable (provided it does not exceed a shareholder's tax basis in Redwood shares) and reduces a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares (but not below zero). To the extent such distributions exceed a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares, such excess amount would be taxable as capital gain. Under the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs, none of our 2020Redwood’s 2021 dividend distributions are currently expected to be characterized as long-term capital gains.gain dividends. The income or loss generated at our TRS will not directly affect the tax characterization of our 2021 dividends; however, any dividends paid from our TRS to our REIT would allow a portion of our REIT’s dividends to be classified as qualified dividends.
Tax Provision under GAAP
For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021, we recorded tax provisions of $7 million and $18 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a tax provision of $9 million$37 thousand and a tax benefit of $13 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.1 million and a tax provision of $3$22 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 switch to a benefit fromprovision for income taxes from provision fora benefit from income taxes year-over-year was primarily the result of GAAP lossesincome being recorded at our TRS in 20202021 versus TRS GAAP incomelosses in 2019. The benefit from income taxes recorded in 2020 was partially offset by a valuation allowance being recorded against our federal net ordinary deferred tax assets.2020. Our TRS effective tax rate in 20202021 is expected to be significantly lessslightly higher than the federal statutory corporate tax rate, due to thea federal valuation allowance and other permanent GAAP to tax differences. The income or loss generated at our TRS will not directly affect the tax characterization of our 2020 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, 2019,2020, we reported net federal ordinary and capital deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs"), and, as such, had no associated valuation allowance.

AsDTAs with a result of GAAP losses at our TRS in 2020, we forecast that we will report net federal ordinary and capital DTAs at December 31, 2020 and consequently afull valuation allowance wasof $17 million recorded against our net federal ordinary DTAs.DTAs based on our determination that their realization was not assured. However, no valuation allowance was recorded against our net federal 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.
We forecast that we will report net federal ordinary DTAs at December 31, 2021 and, consequently, a valuation allowance remains recorded against our net federal ordinary DTAs. At December 31, 2020, we reported a valuation allowance of $134 million recorded against our net state DTAs. Consistent with prior periods, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance against our net state DTAs. OurDTAs as realization of our state DTAs is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the same jurisdictions in which the DTAs exist. As GAAP income at our TRS has been strong for the past several quarters, we are continuing to monitor our estimate of the realizability of our net deferred tax assets could changeand will reassess the need for a valuation allowance, in whole or in part, in future periods to the extent that actual or revised estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward periods change from current expectations.periods.
Potential Taxable Income Volatility
We expect period-to-period volatility in our estimated taxable income. A description of the factors that can cause this volatility is described in the Taxable Income portion of the Results of Operations section in the MD&A included in Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 purchase investment securities and make other investments, to repay principal and interest on our debt, to meet margin calls associated with our debt and other obligations, to make dividend payments on our capital stock, and to fund our operations.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our total capital was $1.70$1.95 billion and included $1.05$1.30 billion of equity capital and $0.65 billion$651 million of convertible notes and long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet, including $199 million of convertible debt due in 2023, $150 million of convertible debt due in 2024, $172 million of exchangeable debt due in 2025, and $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our unrestricted cash was $451 million.$421 million, and we estimate we had approximately $175 million of available capital (which does not include approximately $100 million of available capital generated from a non-marginable secured term financing we closed in early July). While we believe our available cash is sufficient to fund our operations, we may raise equity or debt capital from time to time to increase our unrestricted cash and liquidity, to repay existing debt, to make long-term portfolio investments, to fund strategic acquisitions and investments, 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 interests of the company.
In the discussion that follows and throughout this document, we distinguish between marginable and non-marginable debt. When we refer to non-marginable debt and marginable debt, we are referring to whether or not such debt is subject to market value-based margin calls on underlying collateral that is non-delinquent. If a mortgage loan is financed under a marginable warehouse facility, to the extent the market value of the loan declines (which market value is generally determined by the counterparty under the facility), we will be subject to a margin call, meaning we will be required to either immediately reacquire the loan or meet a margin requirement to pledge additional collateral, such as cash or additional residential loans, in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. Non-marginable debt may be subject to a margin call due to delinquency of the mortgage or security being financed, or a decline in the value of the underlying asset securing the collateral. For example, we could be subject to a margin call on non-marginable debt if an appraisal or broker price opinion indicates a decline in the value of the property securing the mortgage loan that is financed by us under a loan warehouse facility.
We also distinguish between recourse and non-recourse debt. When we refer to non-recourse debt, we mean debt that is payable solely from the assets pledged to secure such debt, and under which debt no creditor or lender has direct or indirect recourse to us, or any other entity or person (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"), if such assets are inadequate or unavailable to pay off such debt.
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, 20202021
Cash flows from our mortgage banking activities and our investments can be volatile from quarter to quarter depending on many factors, including the profitability of mortgage banking activities, the timing and amount of securities acquisitions, 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 nine 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 (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral) and 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 market value-based 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 $176 million$2.65 billion during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. This amount includes the net cash utilized during the period from the purchase and sale of residential mortgage loans and the origination and sale of our business purpose loans associated with our mortgage banking activities. Purchases of loans are financed to a large extent with short-term and long-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 positive $94$52 million and negative $123positive $58 million during the first ninesix months of 20202021 and 2019,2020, 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 liabilities and we settled nearly all of our outstanding derivative positions. As a result of these settlements and other hedging activity during the quarter, we made $187 million of cash payments. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, our margin receivable (which was primarily associated with our hedges), decreased by $207 million, resulting in an increase to our cash flows from operations. These changes in operating cash flows resulted from actions taken in response to the pandemic that we would generally not expect to recur at such a magnitude in subsequent periods. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received $38 million in cash related to FHLBC stock that was transferred back to the FHLBC, upon the repayment of substantially all of our borrowings from the FHLBC.
9789


Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our net cash provided by investing activities was $3.51$1.07 billion and primarily resulted from proceeds from sales of loans and real estate securities, as well as principal payments on loans.loans held-for-investment. Although we generally intend to hold our loans and investment securities as long-term investments, we may sell certain of these assets in order to manage our liquidity needs and interest rate risk, to meet other operating objectives, and to adapt to market conditions.
Because many of our investment securities and loans are financed through various borrowing agreements, a significant portion of the proceeds from any sales or principal payments of these 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 securitization entities would generally be used to repay ABS issued by those entities.
As presented in the "Supplemental Noncash Information" subsection of our consolidated statements of cash flows, during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we transferred residential loans between held-for-sale and held-for-investment classification and retained securities from Sequoia and CAFL securitizations we sponsored, and deconsolidated certain multifamily 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, 2020,2021, our net cash used inprovided by financing activities was $3.11$1.51 billion. This primarily resulted from $1.85$1.18 billion of proceeds from net short-term debt borrowings used to finance higher levels of loan inventory for our mortgage banking businesses, particularly for residential loans held-for-sale, as that business has seen a sustained increase in acquisition volumes. Additionally $540 million of net proceeds were generated from ABS issued. These cash inflows were partially offset by $167 million of net repayments of short-term debt and $2.64 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, and repurchased $22 million of stock in the third quarter. These outflows of cash were partially offset by $306 million of net proceeds from the issuance and settlements of ABS issued. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had cash inflows of $1.25 billion related to borrowings under three new non-marginable facilities that were generally used to repay existing borrowings from marginable facilities.debt.
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we declared dividends of $0.585$0.34 per common share. On September 11, 2020,June 10, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.14$0.18 per share for the thirdsecond quarter of 2020,2021, which was paid on September 29, 2020June 30, 2021 to shareholders of record on September 22, 2020.June 23, 2021.
In accordance with the terms of our outstanding deferred stock units, cash-settled deferred stock units, and restricted stock units, which are stock-basedgenerally long-term compensation awards, each time we declare and pay a dividend on our common stock, we are required to make a dividend equivalent cash payment in that same per share amount on each outstanding deferred stock unit, cash-settled 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. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we repurchased 3,047,335 shares of our common stock pursuant to this authorization for $22 million.did not repurchase any shares. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, $78 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common 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.
Loan Warehouse Facilities
We maintain loan warehouse facilities to finance our residential jumbo loan inventory, SFR loan inventory and for our bridge loan investments. These facilities can be classified as short-term or long-term depending on their specific terms and provisions. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had residential warehouse facilities outstanding with foursix different counterparties, with $600 million$2.35 billion of total capacity and $518 million$1.30 billion of available capacity. These included non-marginable facilities with $200$800 million of total capacity and marginable facilities with $400 million$1.55 billion of total capacity. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had business purpose warehouse facilities outstanding with fourfive different counterparties, with $1.1$1.30 billion of total capacity and $853$587 million of available capacity. All $1.30 billion of these facilities are non-marginable.

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, 2020,2021, we had $483 million$1.48 billion of short-term debt outstanding. During the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, the highest balance of our short-term debt outstanding was $3.23$2.66 billion.

FHLBC Borrowings
As a result of the economic and financial market impacts of the pandemic, the terms of our borrowing facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (our "FHLBC Facility") evolved and we decided to significantly reduce the financing we obtain from the FHLBC. During the second 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 facility. We do not expect to increase borrowings under our FHLBC Facility above the existing $1 million of borrowings outstanding.

 Asset-Backed Securities Issued
During the first quarter of 2020, we sold subordinate securities issued by four 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 for financial reporting purposes. As a result, during the first quarter of 2020, we deconsolidated $3.86 billion of multifamily loans and other assets and $3.72 billion of multifamily ABS issued.
During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we issued $515 million$1.48 billion and $1.30$1.63 billion of ABS respectively, through our consolidated securitization entities.entities, respectively.

COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Mortgage Payment Forbearances
In response to the personal financial impacts of the pandemic, many residential mortgage borrowers have sought, or 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 AdvanceObligations
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.
As of September 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.
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 and origination of residential and acquisition ofbusiness purpose mortgage loans (including those we acquire and originate or 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 or outstandingstock. Recourse 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, 2019,2020, under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing 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,I, Item 1A of our QuarterlyAnnual Report on Form 10-Q10-K for the quarteryear ended MarchDecember 31, 2020 (the "Q1 2020 10-Q").2020. Many of the risks described above materialized during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the pandemicpandemic- and its impactliquidity-related disruptions and their impacts on the economy and financial markets, as described under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” within our Q1 2020 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Our sources of debt financing include 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 and at September 30, 2020, $1 millionduring the second quarter of 2021, we repaid the remaining amount of outstanding advances remained outstanding. We do not expectunder our borrowing facility. Under federal regulations applicable to be able to increase borrowings under this borrowing facility above the existing $1 million ofFHLBC, we can no longer borrow advances outstanding.from the FHLBC.


101


Aggregate borrowing limits are stated under certain of these facilities, and certain other facilities have no stated borrowing limit, but many of the facilities are 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).

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 the facility, to the extent the 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, which determinations of market value were generally within the sole discretion of the lending counterparty. 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. Of our active financing arrangements with outstanding balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, only our short-term securities repurchase facilities (with $75$81 million of borrowings outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 2020)2021), and twothree of our residential mortgage loan warehouse facilities (with $8$664 million of borrowings outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 2020)2021) 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, 20192020 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, 20192020 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.”


92


Because many of these borrowing facilities are uncommitted, 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, 20192020 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, 20192020 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, 20192020 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, 20192020 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.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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, during the first and second quarters of 2020, we amendedwith respect to: (i) financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum dollar amount of stockholders’ equity or tangible net worth at Redwood, at June 30, 2021 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 and financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum dollar amountat Redwood, at June 30, 2021 our level of liquidity 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 resultrecourse indebtedness resulted in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed underin compliance with 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, whichat a level such that we could resultincur at least $600 million 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 Q1 2020 10-Q.additional recourse indebtedness.

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, 2019.2020.
For additional information on our commitments and contingencies as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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 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, 2019.2020. 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, 2019.2020.
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, 2019.2020.
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, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 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, 2019,2020, 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, 2019.2020.
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 20202021 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
There is no significant update regardingFor information on our legal proceedings, see Note 16 to the litigation matters described in Part I, Item 3 in Redwood’s AnnualFinancial Statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 201910-Q under the heading “Legal Proceedings.” At September 30, 2020,"Loss Contingencies - Litigation, Claims and Demands," which supplements the aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves establisheddisclosures included in respect ofNote 16 to the FHLB-Seattle and Schwab litigation matters describedFinancial Statements included 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 with2020 under the impact of the effects of the pandemic on the non-Agency mortgage finance marketheading “Loss Contingencies - Litigation, Claims and on our business and operations, a 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”).
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 intention of reaching resolution, including through structuring 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 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 September 30, 2020, as well as an accrual for the estimated costs associated with counterparties where a resolution or go-forward framework has been agreed to or has been discussed but not finalized. In accordance with GAAP, the accrual for estimated costs is based on the opinion of management, that it is probable that these resolutions and forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements will result in an expense and the amount of expense can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of our accrual for estimated costs associated with Residential Loan Seller Demands was $6.5 million, a 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. In addition, as previously disclosed, one such counterparty filed a breach of contract lawsuit against us in May 2020 alleging that it had suffered in excess of $2 million of losses as a result of our alleged failure to purchase residential mortgage loans from it; and in October 2020 we and the plaintiff agreed to settle the lawsuit on mutually satisfactory terms.
With respect to Residential Loan Seller Demands that have not been resolved or accrued for, our beliefs about the legal merits of these allegations and our 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 reasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demands of between zero and $1.5 million.
Future developments (including receipt of additional information and documents relating to these matters, new or additional resolution or settlement communications relating to these 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 in the event that any of these matters proceed to trial and result in a judgment against us. We cannot be certain that any of these matters that are not already formally resolved will be resolved through a resolution or settlement and we cannot be certain that the resolution of these matters, whether through litigation, settlement, or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future period.

Demands.”
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. 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 litigation 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 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, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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.
