NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements represent the condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations of Walker & Dunlop, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Walker & Dunlop” and the “Company” mean the Walker & Dunlop consolidated companies. The statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include certain financial statement disclosures and other information required for annual financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the Company in the interim periods presented have been included. Results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or thereafter.

Walker & Dunlop, Inc. is a holding company and conducts the majority of its operations through Walker & Dunlop, LLC, the operating company. Walker & Dunlop is one of the leading commercial real estate services and finance companies in the United States. The Company originates, sells, and services a range of commercial real estate debt and equity financing products, provides multifamily property sales brokerage and valuation services, engages in commercial real estate investment management activities with a particular focus on the affordable housing sector through low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) syndication, provides housing market research, and delivers real estate-related investment banking and advisory services.

Through its agency lending products, the Company originates and sells loans pursuant to the programs of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac” and, together with Fannie Mae, the “GSEs”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), and the Federal Housing Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (together with Ginnie Mae, “HUD”). Through its debt brokerage products, the Company brokers, and in some cases services, loans for various life insurance companies, commercial banks, commercial mortgage-backed securities issuers, and other institutional investors.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation—The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Walker & Dunlop, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on either the variable interest entity (“VIE”) or the voting interest model. The Company is required to first apply the VIE model to determine whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, and if so, whether the entity is a VIE. If the Company determines it holds a variable interest in a VIE and has a controlling financial interest and therefore is considered the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the entity. In instances where the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE but is not the primary beneficiary, the Company uses the equity-method of accounting.

If the Company determines it does not hold a variable interest in a VIE, it then applies the voting interest model. Under the voting interest model, the Company consolidates an entity when it holds a majority voting interest in an entity. If the Company does not have a majority voting interest but has significant influence, it uses the equity method of accounting. In instances where the Company owns less than 100% of the equity interests of an entity but holds a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary or owns a majority of the voting interests, the Company accounts for the portion of equity not attributable to Walker & Dunlop, Inc. as Noncontrolling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the portion of net income not attributable to Walker & Dunlop, Inc. as Net income (loss) from noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Subsequent Events—The Company has evaluated the effects of all events that have occurred subsequent to ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The Company has made certain disclosures in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of events that have occurred subsequent to ~~June~~September 30, 2022. There have been no other material subsequent events that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, including the allowance for risk-sharing obligations, initial fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, asset management fee receivable related to LIHTC funds, derivative instruments, estimation of contingent consideration for business

Table of Contents

~~rights, asset management fee receivable related to LIHTC funds, derivative instruments, estimation of contingent consideration for business~~ combinations, estimation of the fair value of the Apprise joint venture (as discussed in NOTE 7), and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
Co-broker Fees—~~Co-broker~~Third-party co-broker fees ~~which~~ are netted against Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were ~~$4.4~~$3.1 million and ~~$3.6~~$6.3 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ~~$10.3~~$13.4 million and ~~$8.9~~$15.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Loans Held for Investment, net—Loans held for investment are multifamily interim loans originated by the Company for properties that currently do not qualify for permanent GSE or HUD (collectively, the “Agencies”) financing (“Interim Loan Program”). These loans have terms of up to three years and are all adjustable-rate, interest-only, multifamily loans with similar risk characteristics and no geographic concentration. The loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for net unamortized loan fees and costs, and net of any allowance for loan losses.
As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, Loans held for investment, net consisted of 9nine loans with an aggregate ~~$252.1~~$251.8 million of unpaid principal balance less ~~$0.9~~$0.7 million of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and $4.0 million of allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2021, Loans held for investment, net consisted of 12 loans with an aggregate $274.5 million of unpaid principal balance less $1.2 million of net unamortized deferred fees and costs and $4.2 million of allowance for loan losses.
The Company assesses the credit quality of loans held for investment in the same manner as it does for the loans in the Fannie Mae at-risk portfolio and records an allowance for these loans as necessary. The allowance for loan losses is estimated collectively for loans with similar characteristics. The collective allowance is based on the same methodology that the Company uses to estimate its allowance for risk-sharing obligations under the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) standard for at-risk Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) loans (with the exception of a reversion period) because the nature of the underlying collateral is the same, and the loans have similar characteristics, except they are significantly shorter in maturity. The reasonable and supportable forecast period used for the CECL allowance for loans held for investment is one year.
The loss rate for the forecast period was 11 basis points and 15 basis points as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The loss rate for the remaining period until maturity was 6 basis points and 9 basis points as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
~~NaN~~One loan held for investment with an unpaid principal balance of $14.7 million was delinquent and on non-accrual status as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company had $3.7 million in collateral-based reserves for this loan as of both ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and has not recorded any interest related to this loan since it went on non-accrual status in 2019. All other loans were current as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The amortized cost basis of loans that were current as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was ~~$236.3~~$236.1 million and $258.6 million, respectively. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, $48.6 million, ~~$160.5~~$162.2 million, and ~~$28.3~~$26.3 million of the loans that were current were originated in 2022, 2021, and 2019, respectively. Other than the defaulted loan noted above, the Company has ~~not~~never experienced any delinquencies related to loans held for investment.
Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses—The Company records the income statement impact of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for risk-sharing obligations within Provision (benefit) for credit losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. NOTE 4 contains additional discussion related to the allowance for risk-sharing obligations. Provision (benefit) for credit losses consisted of the following activity for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Net Warehouse Interest Income—The Company presents warehouse interest income net of warehouse interest expense. Warehouse interest income is the interest earned from loans held for sale and loans held for investment. Generally, a substantial portion of the Company’s loans is financed with matched borrowings under one of its warehouse facilities. The remaining portion of loans not funded with matched borrowings is financed with the Company’s own cash. The Company also occasionally fully funds a small number of loans held for sale or loans held for investment with its own cash. Warehouse interest expense is incurred on borrowings used to fund loans solely while they are held for sale or for investment. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for sale after a loan is closed and before a loan is sold. Warehouse interest income and expense are earned or incurred on loans held for investment after a loan is closed and before a loan is repaid. The Company had a portfolio of participating interests in loans held for investment that was accounted for as a secured borrowing and paid off at the end of the second quarter of 2021. The Company recognized Net warehouse interest income on the unpaid

Income Taxes—The Company records the realizable excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation as a reduction to income tax expense. The realizable excess tax benefits were $0.3 million and ~~$1.2~~$2.1 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ~~$5.2~~$5.5 million ~~for each of~~and $7.3 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and ~~2021.~~2021, respectively.

Contracts with Customers—A majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from the following sources, all of which are excluded from the accounting provisions applicable to contracts with customers: (i) financial instruments, (ii) transfers and servicing, (iii) derivative transactions, and (iv) investments in debt securities/equity-method investments. The remaining portion of revenues is derived from contracts with customers.
The majority of the Company’s contracts with customers do not require significant judgment or material estimates that affect the determination of the transaction price (including the assessment of variable consideration), the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations, and the determination of the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations. Additionally, the earnings process for the majority all of the Company’s contracts with customers is not complicated and is generally completed in a short period of time. The following table presents information about the Company’s contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Litigation—In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be party to various claims and litigation, none of which the Company believes is material. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties, and other costs, and the Company’s reputation and business may be impacted. The Company believes that any liability that could be imposed on the Company in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.
Recently Adopted and Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements—There have been no material changes to the accounting policies discussed in NOTE 2 of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. There are no recently announced but not yet effective accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact to the Company as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022.
Reclassifications—The Company has made certain immaterial reclassifications to prior-year balances to conform to current-year presentation.

NOTE 3—MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) was $1.3 billion as of both ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company uses a discounted static cash flow valuation approach, and the key economic assumption is the discount rate. For example, see the following sensitivities related to the discount rate:
The impact of a 100-basis point increase in the discount rate at ~~June~~September 30, 2022 would be a decrease in the fair value of $40.6 million to the MSRs outstanding as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022.
The impact of a 200-basis point increase in the discount rate at ~~June~~September 30, 2022 would be a decrease in the fair value of $78.6 million to the MSRs outstanding as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022.
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. These estimates do not include interplay among assumptions and are estimated as a portfolio rather than individual assets.

NOTE 4—ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS AND GUARANTY OBLIGATION
When a loan is sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program, the Company typically agrees to guarantee a portion of the ultimate loss incurred on the loan should the borrower fail to perform. The compensation for this risk is a component of the servicing fee on the loan. The guaranty is in force while the loan is outstanding. The Company does not provide a guaranty for any other loan product it sells or brokers. Substantially all loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program contain ~~partial~~modified or full-risk sharing guaranties that are based on the credit performance of the loan. The Company records an estimate of the contingent loss reserve for ~~CECL~~Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) for all loans in its Fannie Mae at-risk servicing portfolio and presents this loss reserve as Allowance for risk-sharing obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, a guaranty obligation is presented as a component of Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company updated its historical loss rate factor calculation to the current 10-year rolling period, with no change ~~during~~to either the three months ended June 30, 2022 or three months ended September 30, 2022. The historical loss rate used for the calculation of the CECL reserve was 1.2 basis points as of both June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 compared to 1.8 basis points as of December 31, ~~2021, contributing to the benefit for risk-sharing obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 presented above.~~2021. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company updated its estimate of the forecast-period loss rate to 2.2 basis points from 3three basis points as of March 31, 2022, based on (i) the projected unemployment rate, (ii) overall health of the multifamily market, and (iii) other information expected during the forecast-period and reverted over a one-year period to the

~~Table of Contents~~

aforementioned 1.2 basis points historical loss ~~rate.~~rate and maintained this forecast-period loss-rate estimate through September 30, 2022. The ~~change~~changes in the historical loss rate factor and forecast-period loss rate ~~led to~~during the ~~benefit for risk-sharing obligations for the three months ended June 30,~~first two quarters of 2022 ~~presented above, and~~ contributed to the benefit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 presented ~~above.~~above, while an increase in the at-risk portfolio led to the small provision for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
During the first ~~half~~three quarters of 2021, reported and forecasted unemployment rates significantly improved compared to December 31, 2020. In response to improving unemployment statistics and the expected continued overall health of the multifamily market, the Company reduced the loss rate for the forecast period to 4four basis points as of March 31, 2021 and 3three basis points as of both June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 from 6six basis points as of December 31, 2020, resulting in the benefit for risk-sharing obligations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, as presented above.
The calculated CECL reserve for the Company’s ~~$51.2~~$52.1 billion at-risk Fannie Mae servicing portfolio as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 was ~~$37.7~~$38.9 million compared to $52.3 million as of December 31, 2021. The weighted-average remaining life of the at-risk Fannie Mae servicing portfolio as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 was 7.3 years compared to 7.5 years as of December 31, 2021.
~~NaN~~Three loans had aggregate collateral-based reserves of $10.8 million and $10.3 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability associated with the Company’s guaranties for the at-risk loans serviced under the Fannie Mae DUS agreement was ~~$10.5~~$10.8 billion and ~~$9.5~~$9.8 billion, respectively. This maximum quantifiable contingent liability relates to the at-risk loans serviced for Fannie Mae at the specific point in time indicated. The maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss the Company would incur. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans it services for Fannie Mae, for which the Company retains some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans were determined to be without value at the time of settlement.

NOTE 5—SERVICING
The total unpaid principal balance of loans the Company was servicing for various institutional investors was ~~$119.0~~$120.8 billion as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to $115.7 billion as of December 31, 2021.
As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, custodial escrow accounts relating to loans serviced by the Company totaled ~~$2.3~~$3.1 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively. These amounts are not included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as such amounts are not Company assets; however, the Company is entitled to earn fees on these escrow balances, presented as a component of Escrow earnings and other interest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain cash deposits at other financial institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. The Company places these deposits with financial institutions that meet the requirements of the Agencies and where it believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

NOTE 6—WAREHOUSE NOTES PAYABLE
As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, to provide financing to borrowers under the Agencies’ programs, the Company has committed and uncommitted warehouse lines of credit in the amount of $3.9 billion with certain national banks and a $1.5 billion uncommitted facility with Fannie Mae (collectively, the “Agency Warehouse Facilities”). In support of these Agency Warehouse Facilities, the Company has pledged substantially all of its loans held for sale under the Company’s approved programs. The Company’s ability to originate mortgage loans for sale depends upon its ability to secure and maintain these types of financings on acceptable terms.
Additionally, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company has arranged for warehouse lines of credit in the amount of $0.5 billion with certain national banks to assist in funding loans held for investment under the Interim Loan Program (“Interim Warehouse Facilities”). The Company has pledged substantially all of its loans held for investment against these Interim Warehouse Facilities. The Company’s ability to originate loans held for investment depends upon its ability to secure and maintain these types of financings on acceptable terms.
The Company also has a warehouse line of credit in the amount of $30.0 million with a national bank to assist in funding the Company’s Committed investments in tax credit equity before transferring them to a tax credit fund (“Tax Credit Equity Warehouse Facility”).

Agency Warehouse Facilities

During the third quarter of 2022, at the Company’s request, an amendment to Agency Warehouse Facility #1 was executed that decreased the committed borrowing capacity from $425.0 million to $325.0 million. In addition to the change in committed borrowing capacity, the amendment added $250 million of uncommitted borrowing capacity and extended the maturity date to August 30, 2023. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2022.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company executed an amendment to Agency Warehouse Facility #2 that extended the maturity date to April 13, 2023 and transitioned the interest rate from 30-day LIBOR to Adjusted Term SOFR plus 130 basis points. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2022.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company executed an amendment related to Agency Warehouse Facility #3 that extended the maturity date to May 15, 2023 and transitioned the interest rate from 30-day LIBOR to Adjusted Term SOFR plus 135 basis points with an Adjusted Term SOFR floor of 15 basis points. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2022.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company executed an amendment related to Agency Warehouse Facility #4 that extended the maturity date to June 22, 2023, increased the total borrowing capacity to ~~$425~~$425.0 million from ~~$350~~$350.0 million, and transitioned the interest rate from 30-day LIBOR to Adjusted Term SOFR plus 130 basis points. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2022.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company executed an amendment related to Interim Warehouse Facility #4 that extended the maturity date to October 1, 2024 and transitioned the interest rate from 30-day LIBOR to Adjusted Term SOFR plus 311 basis points with an Adjusted Term SOFR floor of 15 basis points. No other material modifications have been made to the agreement during 2022.

Tax Credit Equity Warehouse Facility

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company executed amendments related to the Tax Credit Equity Warehouse Facility that extended the maturity date to ~~August 30,~~October 14, 2022. Additionally, the amendments transitioned the interest rate from Daily LIBOR plus 300 basis points to Adjusted Daily SOFR plus 300 basis points, with a SOFR floor of 150 basis points. ~~No other material modifications have been made~~During October 2022, the Company allowed the Tax Credit Equity Warehouse Facility to mature according to the terms of the agreement.

Table of Contents

In October 2022, the Company, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, replaced the maturing Tax Credit Equity Warehouse Facility with a new warehouse facility with a national bank. The credit agreement ~~during 2022.~~is scheduled to mature on October 5, 2025. The facility provides the Company with up to $20.0 million in committed borrowing capacity to fund investments in affordable housing limited partnerships that also secure the borrowings. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR plus 280 basis points, with a SOFR floor of zero basis points.

The credit agreement requires the Company to abide by the following financial covenants:

●

tangible net worth of the Company of not less than (i) $30.0 million;

●

liquid assets of the Company of not less than $15.0 million.

The warehouse notes payable are subject to various financial covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Interest on the Company’s warehouse notes payable is based on 30-day LIBOR, Adjusted Term SOFR, or Adjusted Daily SOFR. As a result of the expected transition from LIBOR, the Company has ~~updated~~transitioned all of its debt agreements to ~~include~~a SOFR based benchmark or has included fallback language to govern the transition from 30-day LIBOR to an alternative reference rate.

The ~~addition~~additions to goodwill from acquisitions during 2022 shown in the table above during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 ~~relates~~relate to ~~the Company’s~~two acquisitions. On February 28, 2022, ~~acquisition of~~the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of GeoPhy B.V. (“GeoPhy”), a Netherlands-based commercial real-estate technology company. As part of the acquisition, the Company also obtained GeoPhy’s 50% interest in the Company’s appraisal joint

~~Table of Contents~~

venture, Apprise. The Company now owns 100% of Apprise and consolidates its balances and its operating results post acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, the Company accounted for its investment in Apprise under the equity method. The fair value of the consideration was ~~$210.1~~$204.6 million and consisted of ~~$87.6~~$82.1 million of cash, $5.5 million of forgiveness of a receivable the Company had with the joint venture (non-cash activity not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows), and $117.0 million of contingent consideration.

GeoPhy’s data analytics and technology development capabilities are expected to accelerate the growth of the Company’s lending, brokerage, and appraisal operations. The GeoPhy acquisition is also expected to allow the Company to meet its goal of $5 billion of annual small-balance lending volume and appraisal revenue of $75 million by 2025 as part of the Company’s overall growth targets. A significant portion of the value associated with the GeoPhy acquisition was related to the assembled workforces with their combined expertise in information technology, data science, and commercial real estate. The Company believes that the combination of GeoPhy’s personnel, appraisal technology platform, and the future development of technology to accelerate growth in the origination of small-balance commercial loans, along with Walker & Dunlop’s financial resources will (i) drive a significant increase in the identification and retention of borrowers in the small-balance segment of the multifamily market and (ii) continue to drive significant growth in appraisal revenues over the next five years. GeoPhy’s financial results since the acquisition and pro-forma information as if the acquisition occurred January 1, 2021 were immaterial.

The contingent consideration noted above is contingent on achieving certain Apprise revenue and productivity milestones and small-balance loan volume and revenue milestones over a four-year period. The maximum earnout included as part of the GeoPhy acquisition is $205.0 million. The Company estimated that $132.7 million, or 65% of the maximum earnout, iswas achievable based on management forecasts.

Table of Contents

The discounted balance of $117.0 million is 57% of the maximum earnout amount. The Company estimated the fair value of this contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation. The weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) used for the valuation of the contingent consideration was 17.0% for the Apprise portion of the earnout and 14.5% for the small-balance portion of the earnout. The WACC reflects the additional risk inherent in the Apprise performance estimates as it is still in the startup stage of its development. The estimated achievable earnout amount was discounted using a forward curve for a Company-specific subordinated debt rating.

The calculation of goodwill of ~~$211.9~~$206.4 million included the fair value of the consideration transferred of ~~$210.1~~$204.6 million and the acquisition-date fair value of the Company’s ~~previously-held~~previously held equity-method investment in Apprise of $58.5 million. The book value of the Company’s equity-method investment in Apprise prior to the acquisition date was $18.9 million, resulting in a $39.6 million gain from remeasuring to fair value. The gain is included as a component of Other revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the acquisition-date fair value of Apprise, with the discount rate and management’s forecast of future revenues and cash flows as the most-significant inputs for the estimate. The discount rate used was 17.0%, and a control premium was not included in the estimate.

The Company expects a large portion of the goodwill to be tax deductible, with the tax-deductible amount of goodwill related to the contingent consideration to be determined once the cash payments to settle the contingent consideration are made. The goodwill resulting from the GeoPhy acquisition was allocated to the Company’s Capital Markets reportable segment. The other assets primarily consisted of technology intangible assets of $31.0 million and deferred tax assets of $9.4 million. The technology intangible assets will be amortized over a 10-year period. Immaterial liabilities were assumed.

AsThe Company expects a large portion of ~~June 30,~~the goodwill to be tax deductible, with the tax-deductible amount of goodwill related to the contingent consideration to be determined once the cash payments to settle the contingent consideration are made.

The second acquisition occurred during the third quarter of 2022 for consideration of $6.0 million of cash and $3.0 million of contingent consideration and resulted in $8.8 million of goodwill. The Company allocated the ~~amounts recorded for~~goodwill from this acquisition to the ~~GeoPhy~~Company’s Capital Markets reportable segment. The Company expects all of the goodwill from this acquisition to be tax deductible, with the tax-deductible amount of goodwill related to the contingent consideration to be determined once the cash payments to settle the contingent consideration are made. The financial results since the acquisition and pro-forma financial information as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021 were ~~provisional as the Company had not completed the purchase accounting for the GeoPhy acquisition as it awaits additional tax information.~~immaterial.

The measurement-period adjustments above primarily relate to the Company’s acquisition of Alliant Capital Ltd. (“Alliant”), an acquisition completed in December of 2021, as more fully described in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. The measurement-period adjustments consist of (i) $29.7 million additional purchase price consideration related to the settlement of working capital adjustments and (ii) immaterial other ~~adjustments.~~adjustments as a result of the Company obtaining additional information. The additional consideration was paid during the third quarter of 2022. The Company has substantially completed the purchase accounting for the Alliant acquisition as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company settled working capital adjustments related to the GeoPhy acquisition, resulting in a $5.5 million reduction in purchase price consideration. The settlement of the cash owed to the Company from GeoPhy for working capital adjustments will be a reduction of the cash paid to settle the contingent consideration achieved in the future. The Company has not completed the purchase accounting for the GeoPhy acquisition as it is waiting for the GeoPhy tax returns to be completed.

As discussed in NOTE 11 below, ~~and beginning~~ in the first quarter of 2022, the Company ~~now has 3~~began disclosing three reportable segments. The following table shows goodwill by reportable segments as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. As the Company did not have segment reporting as of December 31, 2021, all of the goodwill balance was allocated to the Company’s 1one reportable segment as of December 31, 2021. ~~As noted above, the additions in the first quarter of 2022 were allocated to Capital Markets, and the measurement-period adjustments relate to both Capital Markets and Servicing & Asset Management.~~

The contingent consideration liabilities presented in the table above relate to (i) acquisitions of debt brokerage ~~companies~~ and an investment sales brokerage ~~company~~companies completed over the past several years, (ii) the purchase of noncontrolling interests in 2020 that was fully earned as of December 31, 2021 and paid in 2022, (iii) the Alliant acquisition, and (iv) the GeoPhy acquisition. The contingent consideration for each of the

Table of Contents

acquisitions may be earned over various lengths of time after each acquisition, with a maximum earn-out period of five years, provided certain revenue targets and other metrics have been met. The last of the earn-out periods related to the contingent consideration ends in the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2026.~~2027. In each case, the Company estimated the initial fair value of the contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation.

The recognition of the contingent consideration liability for the ~~GeoPhy acquisition~~two acquisitions in 2022 is non-cash, and thus not reflected in the amount of cash consideration paid on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, $8.8 million of the payments settling contingent consideration liabilities included in the table above for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 were from the issuance of the Company’s common stock, a non-cash transaction.

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach to measure assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

●

Level 1—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

●

Level 2—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, discount rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, earnings rates, credit risk, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

●

Level 3—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall valuation.

The Company's MSRs are measured at fair value at inception, and thereafter on a nonrecurring basis. That is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value measurement when there is evidence of impairment and for disclosure purposes (NOTE 3). The Company's MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the estimated

~~Table of Contents~~

fair value of the Company’s MSRs was developed using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model considers contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, estimated revenue from escrow accounts, costs to service, and other economic factors. The Company periodically reassesses and adjusts, when necessary, the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model to reflect observable market conditions and assumptions that market participants consider in valuing MSR assets. MSRs are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

●

Derivative Instruments—The derivative positions consist of interest rate lock commitments with borrowers and forward sale agreements to the Agencies. The fair value of these instruments is estimated using a discounted cash flow model developed based on changes in the applicable U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data. The value was determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

●

Loans Held for Sale—All loans held for sale presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reported at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of the loans held for sale using discounted cash flow models that incorporate quoted observable inputs from market participants such as changes in the U.S. Treasury rate. Therefore, the Company classifies these loans held for sale as Level 2.

●

~~Pledged Securities~~—Investments in money market funds are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. Therefore, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 1. The Company determines the fair value of its AFS investments in Agency debt securities using discounted cash flows that incorporate observable inputs from market participants ~~and then compares the fair value to broker estimates of fair value. Consequently, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 2.~~

●

~~Contingent Consideration Liabilities~~—Contingent consideration liabilities from acquisitions are initially recognized at fair value at acquisition and subsequently remeasured based on the change in probability of achievement of the performance objectives and fair value accretion. The remeasurement and fair value accretion are recognized as ~~Other operating expenses~~ in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company determines the fair value of each contingent consideration liability based on a combination of Monte Carlo simulations and probability of achievement estimates, which incorporates management estimates. As a result, the Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3.

Pledged Securities—Investments in money market funds are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. Therefore, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 1. The Company determines the fair value of its AFS investments in Agency debt securities using discounted cash flows that incorporate observable inputs from market participants and then compares the fair value to broker estimates of fair value. Consequently, the Company classifies this portion of pledged securities as Level 2.
● Contingent Consideration Liabilities—Contingent consideration liabilities from acquisitions are initially recognized at fair value at acquisition and subsequently remeasured based on the change in probability of achievement of the performance objectives and fair value accretion. The remeasurement and fair value accretion are recognized as Other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company determines the fair value of each contingent consideration liability based on a combination of Monte Carlo simulations and probability of achievement estimates, which incorporates management estimates. As a result, the Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy used to measure fair value:

The following methods and assumptions were used for recurring fair value measurements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash—The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (Level 1).

Table of Contents

Pledged Securities—Consist of cash, highly liquid investments in money market accounts invested in government securities, and investments in Agency debt securities. The investments of the money market funds typically have maturities of 90 days or less and are valued using quoted market prices from recent trades. The fair value of the Agency debt securities incorporates the contractual cash flows of the security discounted at market-rate, risk-adjusted yields.

Loans Held for Sale—Consist of originated loans that are generally transferred or sold within 60 days from the date that a mortgage loan is funded and are valued using discounted cash flow models that incorporate observable prices from market participants.

~~Table of Contents~~

Contingent Consideration Liability—Consists of the estimated fair values of expected future earn-out payments related to acquisitions completed over the past several years, including 2022. The earn-out liabilities are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities incorporates unobservable inputs, such as the probability of earn-out achievement, volatility rates, and discount rate, to determine the expected earn-out cash flows. The probability of the earn-out achievement is based on management’s estimate of the expected future performance and other financial metrics of each of the acquired entities, which are subject to significant uncertainty.

Derivative Instruments—Consist of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale agreements. These instruments are valued using discounted cash flow models developed based on changes in the U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data. The value is determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Loans Held for Sale—In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual commitments to originate and sell multifamily mortgage loans at fixed prices with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrowers "lock-in" a specified interest rate within time frames established by the Company. All mortgagors are evaluated for creditworthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the "lock-in" of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor.

To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into a sale commitment with the investor simultaneously with the rate lock commitment with the borrower. The sale contract with the investor locks in an interest rate and price for the sale of the loan. The terms of the contract with the investor and the rate lock with the borrower are matched in substantially all respects, with the objective of eliminating interest rate risk to the extent practical. Sale commitments with the investors have an expiration date that is longer than our related commitments to the borrower to allow, among other things, for the closing of the loan and processing of paperwork to deliver the loan into the sale commitment.

Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to buyers are undesignated derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the Company's rate lock commitments to borrowers and loans held for sale and the related input levels includes, as applicable:

●

the estimated gain of the expected loan sale to the investor (Level 2);

●

~~the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan,~~ ~~net of any guaranty obligations retained~~ ~~(Level 2);~~

●

~~the effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date (Level 2); and~~

●

~~the nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and the Company (Level 3; derivative instruments only).~~

The estimated gain considers the origination fees the Company expects to collect upon loan closing (derivative instruments only) and premiums the Company expects to receive upon sale of the loan (Level 2). The fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan, ~~is calculated pursuant to the valuation techniques applicable to the fair value~~net of ~~future servicing, net at loan sale (Level~~any guaranty obligations retained (Level 2).;

~~To calculate~~
● the effects of interest rate movements, the Company uses applicable published U.S. Treasury prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount (Level 2).
~~The fair value of the Company's forward sales contracts to investors considers~~ effects of interest rate movements between the ~~trade~~ date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date (Level 2)~~. The market price changes are multiplied by~~ ; and
● the ~~notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.~~
~~The fair value of the Company’s interest rate lock commitments and forward sales contracts is adjusted to reflect the risk that the agreement will not be fulfilled. The Company’s exposure to~~ nonperformance in interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Given the credit quality of our counterparties and the short duration of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts, the risk of ~~nonperformance by~~both the ~~Company’s counterparties has historically been minimal (Level 3).~~

~~NOTE 9—FANNIE MAE COMMITMENTS AND PLEDGED SECURITIES~~

~~Fannie Mae DUS Related Commitments~~—Commitments for the origination and subsequent sale and delivery of loans to Fannie Mae represent those mortgage loan transactions where the borrower has locked an interest rate and scheduled closing,counterparty and the Company ~~has entered into a mandatory delivery commitment to sell the loan to Fannie Mae. As discussed in NOTE 8, the Company accounts for these commitments as derivatives recorded at fair value.~~
(Level 3; derivative instruments only).
The Company is generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program. The Company is required to secure these obligations by assigning restricted cash balances and securities to Fannie Mae, which are classified as ~~Pledged securities, at fair value~~ on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of collateral required by Fannie Mae is a formulaic calculation at the loan level and considers the balance of the loan, the risk level of the loan, the age of the loan, and the level of risk-sharing. Fannie Mae requires restricted liquidity for Tier 2 loans of 75 basis points, which is funded over a 48-month period that begins upon delivery of the loan to Fannie Mae. Pledged securities held in the form of money market funds holding U.S. Treasuries are discounted 5%, and Agency mortgage-backed securities (“Agency MBS”) are discounted 4% for purposes of calculating compliance with the restricted liquidity requirements. As seen below, the Company held the majority of its pledged securities in Agency MBS as of June 30, 2022. The majority of the loans for which the Company has risk sharing are Tier 2 loans.
The Company is in compliance with the June 30, 2022 collateral requirements as outlined above. As of June 30, 2022, reserve requirements for the DUS loan portfolio will require the Company to fund $70.4 million in additional restricted liquidity over the next 48 months, assuming no further principal paydowns, prepayments, or defaults within the at-risk portfolio. Fannie Mae has in the past reassessed the DUS Capital Standards and may make changes to these standards in the future. The Company generates sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet these capital standards and does not expect any future changes to have a material impact on its future operations; however, any future increases to collateral requirements may adversely impact the Company’s available cash.
Fannie Mae has established benchmark standards for capital adequacy and reserves the right to terminate the Company's servicing authority for all or some of the portfolio if, at any time, it determines that the Company's financial condition is not adequate to support its obligations under the DUS agreement. The Company is required to maintain acceptable net worth as defined in the agreement, and the Company satisfied the requirements as of June 30, 2022. The net worth requirement is derived primarily from unpaid principal balances on Fannie Mae loans and the level of risk sharing. At June 30, 2022, the net worth requirement was $266.2 million, and the Company's net worth, as defined in the requirements, was $621.6 million, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was required to maintain at least $52.8 million of liquid assets to meet operational liquidity requirements for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, and Ginnie Mae, and the Company had operational liquidity, as defined in the requirements, of $116.0 million as of June 30, 2022, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC.

The estimated gain considers the origination fees the Company expects to collect upon loan closing (derivative instruments only) and premiums the Company expects to receive upon sale of the loan (Level 2). The fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan is calculated pursuant to the valuation techniques applicable to the fair value of future servicing, net at loan sale (Level 2).

To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company uses applicable published U.S. Treasury prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount (Level 2).

The fair value of the Company's forward sales contracts to investors considers effects of interest rate movements between the trade date and the balance sheet date (Level 2). The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.

The Company’s investments included within Pledged securities, at fair value consist primarily of money market funds and Agency debt securities. The investments in Agency debt securities consist of multifamily Agency MBS and are all accounted for as AFS securities. When the fair value of Agency MBS is lower than the carrying value, the Company assesses whether an allowance for credit losses is necessary. The Company does not record an allowance for credit losses for its AFS securities, including those whose fair value is less than amortized cost, when the AFS securities are issued by the GSEs. The contractual cash flows of these AFS securities are guaranteed by the GSEs, which are government-sponsored enterprises under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of these securities. The Company does not intend to sell any of the Agency MBS whose fair value is less than the carrying value, nor does the Company believe that it is more likely than not that it would be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. The following table provides additional information related to the Agency MBS as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

NOTE 10—EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated under the two-class method. The two-class method allocates all earnings (distributed and undistributed) to each class of common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company grants share-based awards to various employees and nonemployee directors under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan that entitle recipients to receive nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. These unvested awards meet the definition of participating securities.

~~Table of Contents~~

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 under the two-class method. Participating securities were included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the two-class method, as this computation was more dilutive than the treasury-stock method.

The assumed proceeds used for calculating the dilutive impact of restricted stock awards under the treasury-stock method includes the unrecognized compensation costs associated with the awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, 218 thousand average restricted shares and 111 thousand average restricted shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury-stock method. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an immaterial number of average restricted shares were excluded from the computation. These average restricted shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS under the treasury method because the effect would have been anti-dilutive, as the grant date market price of the restricted shares was greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares of common stock during the periods presented.
The following non-cash transactions did not impact the amount of cash paid on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During 2022, the operating agreement of three of the Company’s tax-credit-related joint ventures changed. The Company reconsidered its consolidation conclusion based on these changes and concluded that the joint ventures should be consolidated, resulting in a $3.7 million increase in APIC and $6.8 million of noncontrolling interests consolidated as shown on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The consolidation also resulted in a $35.0 million increase in Receivables, net, a $21.3 million reduction in Other assets, and a $3.6 million increase in Other liabilities.
In February 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that permits the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company’s common stock over a 12-month period beginning on February 13, 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 109 thousand shares of its common stock under the 2022 share repurchase program at a weighted-average price of $101.77 per share and immediately retired the shares, reducing stockholders’ equity by $11.1 million. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $63.9 million of authorized share repurchase capacity remaining under the 2022 share repurchase program.

Table of Contents

During each of the first three quarters of 2022, the Company paid a dividend of $0.60 per share. On November 8, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.60 per share for the fourth quarter of 2022. The dividend will be paid on December 9, 2022 to all holders of record of the Company’s restricted and unrestricted common stock as of November 25, 2022.

The Company’s Note Payable (“Term Loan”) contains direct restrictions to the amount of dividends the Company may pay, and the warehouse debt facilities and agreements with the Agencies contain minimum equity, liquidity, and other capital requirements that indirectly restrict the amount of dividends the Company may pay. The Company does not believe that these restrictions currently limit the amount of dividends the Company can pay for the foreseeable future.

NOTE 11—SEGMENTS

In the first quarter of 2022, as a result of the Company’s growth and recent acquisitions, the Company’s executive leadership team, which functions as the Company’s chief operating decision making body, began making decisions and assessing performance based on the following three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 under the two-class method. Participating securities were included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the two-class method, as this computation was more dilutive than the treasury-stock method.

~~NOTE 11—SEGMENTS~~

In the first quarter of 2022, as a result of the Company’s growth and recent acquisitions, the Company’s executive leadership team, which functions as the Company’s chief operating decision making body, began making decisions and assessing performance based on the following 3 operating segments. The operating segments are determined based on the product or service provided and reflect the manner in which management is currently evaluating the Company’s financial information.

(i)

Capital Markets (“CM”)—CM provides a comprehensive range of commercial real estate finance products to our customers, including Agency lending, debt brokerage, property sales, and appraisal and valuation services. The Company’s long-established relationships with the Agencies and institutional investors enable CM to offer a broad range of loan products and services to the Company’s customers, including first mortgage, second trust, supplemental, construction, mezzanine, preferred equity, and small-balance loans. CM provides property sales services to owners and developers of multifamily properties and commercial real estate and multifamily property appraisals for various investors.

As part of Agency lending, CM temporarily funds the loans it originates (loans held for sale) before selling them to the Agencies and earns net interest income on the spread between the interest income on the loans and the warehouse interest expense. For Agency loans, CM recognizes the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, which represents the right to receive future servicing fees. CM also earns fees for origination of loans for both Agency lending and debt brokerage and fees for property sales and appraisals. Direct internal, including compensation, and external costs that are specific to CM are included within the results of this operating segment.

(ii)

Servicing & Asset Management (“SAM”)—SAM’s activities include: (i) servicing and asset-managing the portfolio of loans the Company (a) originates and sells to the Agencies, (b) brokers to certain life insurance companies, and (c) originates through its principal lending and investing activities, (ii) managing third-party capital invested in tax credit equity funds focused on the affordable housing sector and other commercial real estate, and (iii) real estate-related investment banking and advisory services, including housing market research.

~~SAM earns revenue through (i) fees for servicing the loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio, (ii) asset management fees for~~ managing third-party capital invested in tax credit equity funds focused on the affordable housing sector and other commercial real estate, and (iii) real estate-related investment banking and advisory services, including housing market research.

SAM earns revenue through (i) fees for servicing the loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio, (ii) asset management fees for managing third-party capital invested in funds, primarily LIHTC tax credit funds, (iii) subscription revenue for its housing market research, and (iv) net interest income on the spread between the interest income on the loans and the warehouse interest expense for loans held for investment. Direct internal, including compensation, and external costs that are specific to SAM are included within the results of this operating segment.

(iii)

Corporate—The Corporate segment consists primarily of the Company’s treasury operations and other corporate-level activities. The Company’s treasury activities include monitoring and managing liquidity and funding requirements, including corporate debt. Other corporate-level activities include strategic equity-method investments, accounting, information technology, legal, human resources, marketing, internal audit, and various other corporate groups (“support functions”). The Company does not allocate costs from these support functions to the CM or SAM segments in presenting segment operating results, other than income tax expense, which is allocated proportionally based on income from operations at each segment.

~~NOTE 12—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES~~
The Company, through its subsidiary Alliant, provides alternative investment management services through the syndication of tax credit funds and the joint development of affordable housing projects. To facilitate the syndication and development of affordable housing projects, the Company is involved with the acquisition and/or formation of limited partnerships and joint ventures with investors, property developers, and property managers that are VIEs.
~~A detailed discussion~~ of the Company’s treasury operations and other corporate-level activities. The Company’s treasury activities include monitoring and managing liquidity and funding requirements, including corporate debt. Other corporate-level activities include equity-method investments, accounting, information technology, legal, human resources, marketing, internal audit, and various other corporate groups (“support functions”). The Company does not allocate costs from these support functions to the CM or SAM segments in presenting segment operating results, other than income tax expense, which is allocated proportionally based on income from operations at each segment, except for significant, one-time tax activities, which are allocated entirely to the segment impacted by the tax activity.

The Company, through its subsidiary Alliant, provides alternative investment management services through the syndication of tax credit funds and the joint development of affordable housing projects. To facilitate the syndication and development of affordable housing projects, the Company is involved with the acquisition and/or formation of limited partnerships and joint ventures with investors, property developers, and property managers that are VIEs.
A detailed discussion of the Company’s accounting policies regarding the consolidation of VIEs and significant transactions involving VIEs is included in NOTE 2 and NOTE 17 of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.
During 2022, the operating agreements of three of the Company’s joint ventures were amended, resulting in the Company gaining the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint ventures; previously, the Company only held rights to receive the significant economic benefits of the joint ventures. The Company reassessed its consolidation conclusions and determined that it was the primary beneficiary, and as a result, consolidated the joint ventures as of March 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets and liabilities of the consolidated tax credit funds were immaterial.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”). The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in those forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”).
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Walker & Dunlop, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Walker & Dunlop,” “we,” or, “us”, “our”), may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.

Business
Overview
We are a leading commercial real estate (i) services, (ii) finance, and (iii) technology company in the United States. Through ~~strategic~~ investments in people, brand, and technology, we have built a diversified suite of commercial real estate services to meet the needs of our customers. Our services include (i) multifamily lending, property sales, appraisal, valuation, and research, (ii) commercial real estate debt brokerage and advisory, (iii) investment management, and (iv) affordable housing lending, development, and investment. We leverage our technological resources and investments to (i) provide an enhanced experience for our customers, (ii) identify refinancing and other financial and investment opportunities for new and existing customers, and (iii) drive efficiencies in our internal processes. We believe our people, brand, and technology provide us with a competitive advantage, as evidenced by new loans to us representing ~~68%~~67% of refinancing volumes and 25% of total transaction volumes coming from new customers infor the ~~quarter.~~nine months ended September 30, 2022.
We are one of the largest lenders to multifamily ~~properties and commercial real estate~~operators in the country. We originate, sell, and service a range of multifamily and other commercial real estate financing products, including loans through the programs of the GSEs, and the Federal Housing Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (together with Ginnie Mae, “HUD”) (collectively, the “Agencies”). We retain servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all loans that we originate for the Agencies’ programs. We broker, and occasionally service, loans to commercial real estate operators for many life insurance companies, commercial banks, and other institutional investors, in which cases we do not fund the loan but rather act as a loan broker.
We provide multifamily property sales brokerage and appraisal and valuation services and engage in commercial real estate investment management activities, including a focus on the affordable housing sector through low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) syndication. We engage in the development and preservation of affordable housing projects through joint ventures with real estate developers and the management of funds focused on affordable housing. We provide housing market research and real estate-related investment banking and advisory services, which provides our clients and us with market insight into many areas of the housing market. Our clients are owners and developers of multifamily properties and other commercial real estate assets across the country, some of whom are the largest owners and developers in the industry. We also underwrite, service, and asset-manage shorter term loans on commercial real estate. Most of these shorter-term interim loans are closed through a joint venture or through separate accounts managed by our investment management subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop Investment Partners, Inc. (“WDIP”). Some of these interim loans are closed and retained by us through our Interim Program JV or Interim Loan Program (as defined below in Principal Lending and Investing). We are a leader in commercial real estate technology, developing and acquiring technology resources that (i) provide innovative solutions and a better experience for our customers and (ii) allow us to ~~reach a broader customer base.~~drive efficiencies across our internal processes.
On February 28, 2022, we acquired GeoPhy B.V. (“GeoPhy”), a leading commercial real estate technology company based in the Netherlands. We plan to use GeoPhy’s data analytics and technology development capabilities to accelerate the growth of our small-balance lending platform and our technology-enabled appraisal and valuation platform, Apprise.
Walker & Dunlop, Inc. is a holding company. We conduct the majority of our operations through Walker & Dunlop, LLC, our operating company.
Segments
In the first quarter of 2022, as a result of the Company’s growth and recent acquisitions, our executive leadership team, which functions as our chief operating decision making body, began making decisions and assessing performance based on the following three operating segments: (i) Capital Markets (“CM”), (ii) Servicing & Asset Management (“SAM”), and (iii) Corporate. The operating segments are determined based on the product or service provided and reflect the manner in which management is currently evaluating the Company’s financial information. The CM and SAM segments and related services are described in the following paragraphs.

~~Table of Contents~~

Corporate

The Corporate segment consists primarily of our treasury operations and other corporate-level activities. Our treasury operations include monitoring and managing our liquidity and funding requirements, including our corporate debt. The major other corporate-level functions

include our ~~strategic~~ equity-method investments, accounting, information technology, legal, human resources, marketing, internal audit, and various other corporate groups.

Capital Markets

Capital Markets provides a comprehensive range of commercial real estate finance products to our customers, including Agency lending, debt brokerage, property sales, and appraisal and valuation services. Our long-established relationships with the Agencies and institutional investors enable us to offer a broad range of loan products and services to our customers. We provide property sales services to owners and developers of multifamily properties and commercial real estate and multifamily property appraisals for various investors. The primary services within CM are described below.

~~Agency~~Principal Lending and Investing

). We are ~~one of the leading lenders with the Agencies, where we originate~~a leader in commercial real estate technology, developing and ~~sell multifamily, manufactured housing communities, student housing, affordable housing, seniors housing,~~acquiring technology resources that (i) provide innovative solutions and ~~small-balance multifamily loans. For additional information on~~a better experience for our ~~Agency Lending services, refer~~customers and (ii) allow us to ~~Item 1. Business in~~drive efficiencies across our ~~2021 Form 10-K.~~internal processes.

~~We recognize~~ ~~loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net~~ ~~and the~~ ~~fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net~~ from our lending with the Agencies when we commit to both originate a loan with a borrower and sell that loan to an investor. The loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net and the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net for these transactions reflect the fair value attributable to loan origination fees, premiums on the sale of loans, net of any co-broker fees, and the fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loans, net of any guaranty obligations retained.

We generally fund our Agency loan products through warehouse facility financing and sell them to investors in accordance with the related loan sale commitment, which we obtain concurrent with rate lock. Proceeds from the sale of the loan are used to pay off the warehouse facility borrowing. The sale of the loan is typically completed within 60 days after the loan is closed. We earn net warehouse interest income from loans held for sale while they are outstanding equal to the difference between the note rate on the loan and the cost of borrowing of the warehouse facility.

Our loan commitments and loans held for sale are currently not exposed to unhedged interest rate risk during the loan commitment, closing, and delivery process. The sale or placement of each loan to an investor is negotiated at the same time we establish the coupon rate for the loan. We also seek to mitigate the risk of a loan not closing by collecting good faith deposits from the borrower. The deposit is returned to the borrower only once the loan is closed. Any potential loss from a catastrophic change in the property condition while the loan is held for sale using warehouse facility financing is mitigated through property insurance equal to replacement cost. We are also protected contractually from an investor’s failure to purchase the loan. We have experienced an immaterial number of failed deliveries in our history and have incurred immaterial losses on such failed deliveries.

As part of our overall growth strategy, we are focused on significantly growing and investing in our small-balance multifamily lending platform, which involves a high volume of transactions with smaller loan balances. In support of this product, we acquired a small technology company during the second quarter of 2021, that had a technology platform that streamlines and accelerates the quoting, processing, and underwriting of small-balance, multifamily loans. Additionally, the technology platform provides the borrower with a web-based, user-friendly interface, enhancing the borrower’s experience during the origination process. To further this strategy,On February 28, 2022, we acquired GeoPhy ~~during the first quarter of 2022,~~B.V. (“GeoPhy”), a leading commercial real estate technology company based in the ~~Netherlands,~~Netherlands. We plan to ~~support~~use GeoPhy’s data analytics and technology development capabilities to accelerate the growth of our small-balance lending platform ~~with data analytics~~ and ~~to further advance~~ our ~~technology development capabilities~~technology-enabled appraisal and valuation platform, Apprise.

~~Our mortgage bankers who focus on~~Capital Markets

Capital Markets provides a comprehensive range of commercial real estate finance products to our customers, including Agency lending, debt brokerage, are engaged by borrowers to work with a variety of institutional lenders and banks to find the most appropriate loan instrument for the borrowers’ needs. These loans are then funded directly by the lender, and we receive an origination fee for placing the loan.

~~Property Sales~~

~~We offer~~ property sales, ~~brokerage~~and appraisal and valuation services. Our long-established relationships with the Agencies and institutional investors enable us to offer a broad range of loan products and services to our customers. We provide property sales services to owners and developers of multifamily properties ~~that are seeking to sell these properties through our subsidiary Walker & Dunlop Investment Sales, LLC (“WDIS”). Through these property sales brokerage services, we seek to maximize proceeds~~ and ~~certainty of closure for our clients using our knowledge of the~~ commercial real estate and capital markets and relying on our experienced transaction professionals. We receive a sales commission for brokering the sale of these multifamily assets on behalf of our clients, and we often are able to provide financing to the purchaser of the properties through our Agency or debt brokerage teams. Our property sales services are offered across the United States. We have increased the number of property sales brokers and the geographical reach of our investment sales platform over the past several years through hiring and acquisitions and intend to continue this expansion in support of our growth strategy.

~~Appraisal and Valuation Services~~

~~We offer multifamily appraisal and valuation services though~~ ~~our subsidiary Apprise by Walker & Dunlop (“Apprise”). Apprise leverages technology and data science to dramatically improve the consistency, transparency, and speed of~~ multifamily property appraisals in the U.S. through our proprietary technology and leveraging our expertise in the commercial real estate industry. Prior to the GeoPhy acquisition, we and GeoPhy each owned a 50% interest in Apprise, and we accounted for the interest as an equity-method investment. Subsequent to the GeoPhy acquisition, Apprise is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walker & Dunlop. Apprise’s revenues continue to rapidly grow, with significant increases in the volume of appraisal reports generated and a client list that includes several national commercial real estate lenders.

~~Servicing & Asset Management~~

Servicing & Asset Management focuses on (i) servicing and asset-managing the portfolio of loans we originate and sell to the Agencies, we service for certain life insurance companies, and we originate through our principal lending and investing activities, (ii) managing third-party capital invested in tax credit equity funds focused on the affordable housing sector and other commercial real estate, and (iii) real estate-related investment banking and advisory services, including housing market research. We earn servicing fees for overseeing the loans in our servicing portfolio and asset management fees for the capital invested in our funds. Additionally, we earn subscription fees for our housing related research, and we earn revenue through net interest income on the loans and the warehouse interest expense for loans held for investment.various investors. The primary services within ~~SAM~~CM are described below.

~~Loan Servicing~~

We retain servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all of our Agency loan products that we originate and sell and generate cash revenues from the fees we receive for servicing the loans, from the interest income on escrow deposits held on behalf of borrowers, and from other ancillary fees relating to servicing the loans. Servicing fees, which are based on servicing fee rates set at the time an investor agrees to purchase the loan and on the unpaid principal balance of the loan, are generally paid monthly for the duration of the loan. Our Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac servicing arrangements generally provide for prepayment protection to us in the event of a voluntary prepayment. For loans serviced outside of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, we typically do not have similar prepayment protections. For most loans we service under the Fannie Mae DUS program, we are required to advance the principal and interest payments and guarantee fees for four months should a borrower cease making payments under the terms of their loan, including while that loan is in forbearance. After advancing for four months, we may request reimbursement by Fannie Mae for the principal and interest advances, and Fannie Mae will reimburse us for these advances within 60 days of the request. Under the Ginnie Mae program, we are obligated to advance the principal and interest payments and guarantee fees until the HUD loan is brought current, fully paid or assigned to HUD. We are eligible to assign a loan to HUD once it is in default for 30 days. If the loan is not brought current, or the loan otherwise defaults, we are not reimbursed for our advances until such time as we assign the loan to HUD or work out a payment modification for the borrower. For loans in default, we may repurchase those loans out of the Ginnie Mae security, at which time our advance requirements cease and we may then modify and resell the loan or assign the loan back to

~~Table of Contents~~

~~HUD and be reimbursed for our advances. We are not obligated to make advances on the loans we service under the Freddie Mac Optigo® program and our bank and life insurance company servicing agreements.~~

We have risk-sharing obligations on substantially all loans we originate under the Fannie Mae DUS program. When a Fannie Mae DUS loan is subject to full risk-sharing, we absorb losses on the first 5% of the unpaid principal balance of a loan at the time of loss settlement, and above 5% we share a percentage of the loss with Fannie Mae, with our maximum loss capped at 20% of the original unpaid principal balance of the loan (subject to doubling or tripling if the loan does not meet specific underwriting criteria or if the loan defaults within 12 months of its sale to Fannie Mae). Our full risk-sharing is currently limited to loans up to $300 million, which equates to a maximum loss per loan of $60 million (such exposure would occur in the event that the underlying collateral is determined to be completely without value at the time of loss). For loans in excess of $300 million, we receive modified risk-sharing. We also may request modified risk-sharing at the time of origination on loans below $300 million, which reduces our potential risk-sharing losses from the levels described above if we do not believe that we are being fully compensated for the risks of the transaction. The full risk-sharing limit prior to June 30, 2021 was less than $300 million. Accordingly, loans originated prior to then may have been subject to modified risk-sharing at much lower levels.

Our servicing fees for risk-sharing loans include compensation for the risk-sharing obligations and are larger than the servicing fees we would receive from Fannie Mae for loans with no risk-sharing obligations. We receive a lower servicing fee for modified risk-sharing than for full risk-sharing. For brokered loans we also service, we collect ongoing servicing fees while those loans remain in our servicing portfolio. The servicing fees we typically earn on brokered loan transactions are substantially lower than the servicing fees we earn on Agency loans.

We offer multifamily appraisal and valuation services though our subsidiary, Apprise by Walker & Dunlop (“Apprise”). Apprise leverages technology and data science to dramatically improve the consistency, transparency, and speed of multifamily property appraisals in the U.S. through our proprietary technology and leveraging our expertise in the commercial real estate industry.

Principal Lending and Investing

Our principal lending and investing operation is composed of the loans held by the Interim Program JV and the Interim Loan Program as described below (collectively the “Interim Program”). Through a joint venture with an affiliate of Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc., we offer short-term senior secured debt financing products that provide floating-rate, interest-only loans for terms of generally up to three years to experienced borrowers seeking to acquire or reposition multifamily properties that do not currently qualify for permanent financing (the “Interim Program JV” or the “joint venture”). The joint venture funds its operations using a combination of equity contributions from its owners and third-party credit facilities. We hold a 15% ownership interest in the Interim Program JV and are responsible for sourcing, underwriting, servicing, and asset-managing the loans originated by the joint venture. The Interim Program JV assumes full risk of loss while the loans it originates are outstanding, while we assume risk commensurate with our 15% ownership interest.

Using a combination of our own capital and warehouse debt financing, we offer interim loans that do not meet the criteria of the Interim Program JV (the “Interim Loan Program”). We underwrite, service, and asset-manage all loans executed through the Interim Loan Program. We originate and hold these Interim Loan Program loans for investment, which are included on our balance sheet, and during the time that these loans are outstanding, we assume the full risk of loss. The ultimate goal of the Interim Loan Program is to provide permanent Agency financing on these transitional properties.

Affordable Housing and Other Commercial Real Estate-related Investment Management Services

We provide affordable housing investment management services through our subsidiary, Alliant Capital, ~~Ltd~~Ltd. and its affiliates (“Alliant”). Alliant is one of the largest tax credit syndicators and affordable housing developers in the U.S. and provides alternative investment management services focused on the affordable housing sector through LIHTC syndication, development of affordable housing projects through joint ventures, and affordable housing preservation fund management. Our affordable housing investment management team works with our developer clients to identify properties that will generate LIHTCs and meet our affordable investors’ needs, and forms limited partnership funds (“LIHTC funds”) with third-party investors that invest in the limited partnership interests in these properties. Alliant serves as the general partner of these LIHTC funds, and it receives fees, such as asset management fees, and a portion of refinance and disposition proceeds as compensation for its work as the general partner of the fund. Additionally, Alliant earns a syndication fee from the LIHTC funds for the identification, organization, and acquisition of affordable housing projects that generate LIHTCs.

We invest, as the managing or non-managing member of joint ventures, with developers of affordable housing projects that generate LIHTCs. These joint ventures earn developer fees, operating cash and sale / refinance proceeds from the properties they develop, and we receive the portion of the economic benefits commensurate with its investment in the joint ventures. Additionally, Alliant also invests with third-party investors (either in a fund or joint-venture structure) with the goal of preserving affordability on multifamily properties coming out of the LIHTC 15-year compliance period or on which market forces are unlikely to keep the properties affordable. Through these preservation funds,

~~Table of Contents~~

Alliant may receive acquisition and asset management fees and will receive a portion of the operating cash and capital appreciation upon sale through a promote structure.

Through our subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop Investment Partners (“WDIP”), we function as the operator of a private commercial real estate investment adviser focused on the management of debt, preferred equity, and mezzanine equity investments in middle-market commercial real estate funds. WDIP’s current assets under management (“AUM”) of ~~$1.3~~$1.4 billion primarily consist of five sources: Fund III, Fund IV, Fund V, and Fund VI (collectively, the “Funds”), and separate accounts managed primarily for life insurance companies. AUM for the Funds and for

Table of Contents

the separate accounts consists of both unfunded commitments and funded investments. Unfunded commitments are highest during the fundraising and investment phases. WDIP receives management fees based on both unfunded commitments and funded investments. Additionally, with respect to the Funds, WDIP receives a percentage of the return above the fund return hurdle rate specified in the fund agreements.

Housing Market Research and Real Estate Investment Banking Services

We own a 75% interest in a subsidiary doing business as Zelman & Associates (“Zelman”). Zelman is a nationally recognized housing market research and investment banking firm that will enhance the information we provide to our clients and increase our access to high-quality market insight in many areas of the housing market, including construction trends, demographics, mortgage finance, and real estate technology and services. Zelman generates revenues through the sale of its housing market research data and related publications to banks, investment banks and other financial institutions, and through its offering of real estate-related investment banking and advisory services.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates based on certain judgments and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors management believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions and the use of different judgments and assumptions may have a material impact on our results. The following critical accounting estimates involve significant estimation uncertainty that may have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Additional information about our critical accounting estimates and other significant accounting policies are discussed in NOTE 2 of the consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”). MSRs are recorded at fair value at loan sale or upon purchase. The fair value at loan sale (“OMSR”) is based on estimates of expected net cash flows associated with the servicing rights and takes into consideration an estimate of loan prepayment. Initially, the fair value amount is included as a component of the derivative asset fair value at the loan commitment date. The estimated net cash flows from servicing, which includes assumptions for discount rate, escrow earnings, prepayment speed, and servicing costs, are discounted at a rate that reflects the credit and liquidity risk of the OMSR over the estimated life of the underlying loan. The discount rates used throughout the periods presented for all OMSRs were between 8-14% and varied based on the loan type. The life of the underlying loan is estimated giving consideration to the prepayment provisions in the loan and assumptions about loan behaviors around those provisions. Our model for OMSRs assumes no prepayment prior to the expiration of the prepayment provisions and full prepayment of the loan at or near the point when the prepayment provisions have expired. The estimated net cash flows also include cash flows related to the future earnings on the escrow accounts associated with servicing the loans that are based on an escrow earnings rate assumption. We include a servicing cost assumption to account for our expected costs to service a loan. The servicing cost assumption has not had a material impact on the estimate. We record an individual OMSR asset (or liability) for each loan at loan sale. The fair value of MSRs acquired through a stand-alone servicing portfolio purchase (“PMSR”) is equal to the purchase price paid. For PMSRs, we record and amortize a portfolio-level MSR asset based on the estimated remaining life of the portfolio using the prepayment characteristics of the portfolio.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of capitalized OMSRs are developed internally and are periodically compared to assumptions used by other market participants. Due to the relatively few transactions in the multifamily MSR market and the lack of significant changes in assumptions by market participants, we have experienced limited volatility in the material assumptions historically, including the significant assumption that most significantly impacts the estimate – the discount rate. We do not expect to see significant volatility in the material assumptions for

~~Table of Contents~~

the foreseeable future. We actively monitor the assumptions used and make adjustments to those assumptions when market conditions change, or other factors indicate such adjustments are warranted. During the first quarter of 2021, we reduced the discount rate and escrow earnings rate assumptions for our OMSRs. During the third quarter of 2022, we increased the escrow earnings rate assumptions to reflect current market participant assumptions. We engage a third party to assist in determining an estimated fair value of our existing and outstanding MSRs on at least a semi-annual basis. Changes in our discount rate assumptions may materially impact the fair value of the MSRs (NOTE 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements details the portfolio-level impact of a change in the discount rate).

Table of Contents

For PMSRs, a constant rate of prepayments and defaults is included in the determination of the portfolio’s estimated life at purchase (and thus included as a component of the portfolio’s amortization). Accordingly, prepayments and defaults of individual loans do not change the level of amortization expense recorded for the portfolio unless the pattern of actual prepayments and defaults varies significantly from the estimated pattern. When such a significant difference in the pattern of estimated and actual prepayments and defaults occurs, we prospectively adjust the estimated life of the portfolio (and thus future amortization) to approximate the actual pattern observed. We have made adjustments to the estimated life of our PMSRs in the past when the actual experience of prepayments differed materially from the estimated prepayments.

Allowance for Risk-Sharing Obligations. This reserve liability (referred to as “allowance”) for risk-sharing obligations relates to our Fannie Mae at-risk servicing portfolio and is presented as a separate liability on our balance sheets. We record an estimate of the loss reserve for the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for all loans in our Fannie Mae at-risk servicing portfolio using the weighted-average remaining maturity method (“WARM”). WARM uses an average annual loss rate that contains loss content over multiple vintages and loan terms and is used as a foundation for estimating the CECL reserve. The average annual loss rate is applied to the estimated unpaid principal balance over the contractual term, adjusted for estimated prepayments and amortization to arrive at the CECL reserve for the entire current portfolio as described further below. We currently use one year for our reasonable and supportable forecast period (“forecast period”) as we believe forecasts beyond one year are inherently less reliable. During the forecast period, we apply an adjusted loss factor based on loss rates from a historical period that we believe is similar. We revert to the historical loss rate over a one-year period on a straight-line basis. Over the past couple of years, the loss rate used in the forecast period has been updated to reflect our expectations of the economic conditions over the coming year in relation to the historical period. For example, in the second quarter of 2022, we updated the loss rate used in the forecast period from three basis points to 2.2 basis points. Changes in the loss rate used in the forecast period have significantly impacted the estimate in the past.

One of the key components of a WARM calculation is the runoff rate, which is the expected rate at which loans in the current portfolio will amortize and prepay in the future based on our historical prepayment and amortization experience. We group loans by similar origination dates (vintage) and contractual maturity terms for purposes of calculating the runoff rate. We originate loans under the DUS program with various terms generally ranging from several years to 15 years; each of these various loan terms has a different runoff rate. The runoff rates applied to each vintage and contractual maturity term are determined using historical data; however, changes in prepayment and amortization behavior may significantly impact the estimate. We have not experienced significant changes in the runoff rate since we implemented CECL in 2020.

The weighted-average annual loss rate is calculated using a rolling 10-year look-back period, utilizing the average portfolio balance and settled losses for each year. A 10-year period is used as we believe that this period of time includes sufficiently different economic conditions to generate a reasonable estimate of expected results in the future, given the relatively long-term nature of the current portfolio. As the weighted-average annual loss rate utilizes a rolling 10-year look-back period, the loss rate used in the estimate will change as loss data from earlier periods in the look-back period continue to fall off and as new loss data are added. For example, in the first quarter of 2022, loss data from earlier periods in the look-back period fell off and were replaced with more recent loss data, resulting in the weighted-average annual loss rate changing from 1.8 basis points to 1.2 basis points. Changes in our expectations and forecasts have materially impacted, and in the future may materially impact, the estimate. We have not had a loss settlement in nearly six years.

We evaluate our risk-sharing loans on a quarterly basis to determine whether there are loans that are probable of default. Specifically, we assess a loan’s qualitative and quantitative risk factors, such as payment status, property financial performance, local real estate market conditions, loan-to-value ratio, debt-service-coverage ratio, and property condition. When a loan is determined to be probable of default based on these factors, we remove the loan from the WARM calculation and individually assess the loan for potential credit loss. This assessment requires certain judgments and assumptions to be made regarding the property values and other factors that may differ significantly from actual results. Loss settlement with Fannie Mae has historically concluded within 18 to 36 months after foreclosure. Historically, the initial collateral-based reserves have not varied significantly from the final settlement.

We actively monitor the judgments and assumptions used in our Allowance for Risk-Sharing Obligations estimate and make adjustments to those assumptions when market conditions change, or when other factors indicate such adjustments are warranted. We believe the level of

~~Table of Contents~~

Allowance for Risk-Sharing Obligations is appropriate based on our expectations of future market conditions; however, changes in one or more of the judgments or assumptions used above could have a significant impact on the estimate.

Contingent Consideration Liabilities. The Company typically includes an earnout as part of the consideration paid for acquisitions to align the long-term interests of the acquiree with the Company. These earnouts contain milestones for achievement, which typically are revenue, revenue-like, or productivity measurements. If the milestone is achieved, the acquiree is paid the additional consideration. Upon acquisition, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of the earnout and include that fair value measurement as a component of the total consideration paid in the calculation of goodwill. The fair value of the earnout is recorded as a contingent consideration liability and included

Table of Contents

within Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are also required to continue to record the contingent consideration at fair value at each reporting period.

The determination of the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities requires significant management judgment and unobservable inputs to (i) determine forecasts and scenarios of future revenues, net cash flows and certain other performance metrics, (ii) assign a probability of achievement for the forecasts and scenarios, and (iii) select a discount rate. A Monte Carlo simulation analysis is used to determine many iterations of potential fair values. The average of these iterations is then used to determine the estimated fair value. We typically obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists to assist with the fair value estimation. The probability of the earn-out achievement is based on management’s estimate of the expected future performance and other financial metrics of each of the acquired entities, which are subject to significant uncertainty.

Over the past year, we have made two large acquisitions that included significant portions of contingent consideration. The aggregate fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 was ~~$218.2~~$221.0 million. This fair value represents management’s best estimate of the discounted cash payments that will be made in the future for all of our contingent consideration arrangements. The maximum remaining undiscounted earnout payments as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 was ~~$323.8~~$325.0 million. Historically, all of the contingent consideration arrangements have paid out at the maximum achievable amount. We are uncertain whether this trend will continue in the future. Additionally, the earnouts completed prior to 2021 have involved businesses that operated in our core debt financing business and involved substantially smaller amounts of contingent consideration as compared to the two ~~recent~~aforementioned acquisitions.

Goodwill. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we reported goodwill of ~~$937.9~~$948.2 million and $698.6 million, respectively. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is assigned to the segment to which the acquisition relates. Goodwill is recognized as an asset and is reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. Between the annual evaluation time, we will perform an evaluation of recoverability, when events and circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. Impairment testing requires an assessment of qualitative factors to determine if there are indicators of potential impairment, followed by, if necessary, an assessment of quantitative factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, whether there has been a significant or adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset and/or significant or adverse changes in cash flow projections or earnings forecasts. These assessments require management to make judgements, assumptions, and estimates about projected cash flows, discount rates and other factors. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we continue to believe our goodwill is not impaired.

Overview of Current Business Environment

The fundamentals of the commercial real estate market ~~remained~~began the year strong, ~~through the first half of 2022,~~ particularly multifamily, which is the vast majority of our transaction volumes. ~~Over~~Despite significant market volatility caused by the ~~past two years,~~high inflation rate and resulting rising interest rates, multifamily property fundamentals ~~showed strength, with multifamily occupancy rates, demand for new leases, and retention rates at record highs.~~remain healthy. According to RealPage, a provider of commercial real estate data and analytics, ~~overall~~vacancies have risen from their March 2022 lows to 4.4% as of September 30, 2022; however, national vacancy rates still remain ~~historically low~~below their historical averages. Additionally, rent collections remain strong at ~~3.7%. Overall demand for multifamily rental units, coupled with a lack of supply has resulted in double-digit~~pre-pandemic levels, despite inflationary pressures and high rent growth ~~in most markets during~~over the first half of 2022. Robust rent growth in the first half of 2022 for both new leases and renewals has helped offset the impacts of inflation on multifamily properties. Low vacancy rates and stabilizing rent growth still indicate a healthy multifamily market.past two years.
Macroeconomic conditions impacting multifamily markets remained stable in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2022, with the national unemployment rate falling to pre-pandemic lows of ~~3.6%~~3.5% as of ~~June~~September 2022. The high rate of inflation during the ~~first half of 2022~~year resulted in the Federal Reserve increasing its target Federal Funds Rate by ~~1.50%~~3.00% from December 2021, with a target range of ~~1.50%~~3.00% to ~~1.75%~~3.25% as of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2022, with an additional 0.75% increase to 2.25% to 2.50% following its July 2022 meeting.~~2022. The Federal Reserve continues to signal that it anticipates additional increases in the target range and will continue the reduction of its holdings in Treasury securities and Agency mortgage-backed securities (“Agency MBS”) until the inflation rate returns to the Federal Reserve’s long-term target. Both of these actions by the Federal

~~Table of Contents~~

Reserve have resulted in an increase in long-term mortgage interest rates, which form the basis of most of our lending.

The market’s transition from a historically low interest rate environment to a rising interest rate environment disrupted certain sectors of the lending market, with the most acute impact felt initially in the consumer lending sector (e.g., residential mortgages, auto lending, and consumer ~~credit, etc)~~credit). Although volatility in long-term interest rates also disrupted certain segments of the commercial real estate lending environment at times during ~~the first half of~~ 2022, the commercial real estate debt and property sales markets remained active. As a result, our total transaction volumes increased ~~56%~~27% over the first ~~half~~three quarters of 2021, with the largest increases in multifamily property sales ~~(141%~~(65%), debt brokerage ~~(41%~~(27%), and Fannie Mae ~~(72%~~(33%) volumes. The product we offer that was most significantly impacted by rising interest rates was our HUD product, which declined ~~54%~~49% when compared to the first ~~half~~three quarters of 2021.

Over the last ninety days, the Federal Reserve’s stance on inflation has become more aggressive with fourth consecutive 0.75% increases in the Federal Funds Rate. As the Federal Reserve continues to combat inflation by increasing interest rates, we expect commercial real estate debt and property sales transaction activity to slow down from ~~second quarter~~ peaks ~~but still remain quite active overall.~~earlier in the year. As with the first ~~half~~three quarters of 2022, we expect certain products to be impacted more than others, with debt brokerage executions in non-multifamily assets classes being impacted the most, as banks and life insurance companies continue to pull back and potentially increase capital reserves in the ~~second half~~last quarter of 2022. However, we anticipate Agency lending volumes to ~~accelerate~~remain steady in the ~~second half of 2022. As~~fourth quarter as the Agencies provide liquidity in countercyclical markets. When the broader capital markets tighten, the Agencies historically step in to provide liquidity to the multifamily borrowing community as they did throughout 2020 and the second half of last year, and as one of the largest providers of capital to the multifamily sector, we are well positioned. As interest rates increased rapidly over the last several months, and liquidity in the capital markets tightened, we have experienced declines in credit spreads to offset a portion of the interest rate increases. Although our lending activity with the Agencies ~~may~~is expected to remain strong in the ~~second half~~fourth quarter of 2022, the servicing fees on new loans and associated profitability of those executions ~~may decline.~~is expected to remain consistent with third quarter levels.

We are a market-leading originator with the Agencies, and we believe our market leadership positions us well to continue gaining market share and remain a significant lender with the Agencies for the foreseeable future.

The ~~FHFA~~Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) establishes loan origination caps for both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac each year. In October 2021, the FHFA established Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s 2022 loan origination caps at $78 billion each for all multifamily business. During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had multifamily origination volumes of ~~$18.7~~$15.9 billion and $14.7 billion, respectively, ~~up 71.6%~~down 2.5% and ~~12.2%~~16.9%, respectively, from the same period in 2021. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had multifamily origination volumes of ~~$34.7~~$50.6 billion and ~~$29.6~~$44.3 billion, respectively, up ~~7.1%~~3.9% and ~~9.2%~~down 1.1% from the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021, respectively, leaving a combined ~~$91.7~~$61.1 billion of available lending capacity for the remainder of the ~~year, or 43% more lending volume than the GSEs delivered to the multifamily market in the first half of 2022.~~year.

As part of FHFA’s 2022 loan origination caps, at least 50% of the GSEs’ multifamily business is required to be targeted towards affordable housing. Additionally, in 2021 the FHFA raised the GSEs’ combined LIHTC investment cap to $1.7 billion, up 70% from the previous cap of $1.0 billion. We intend to leverage our affordable debt financing and our newly acquired LIHTC syndication platforms to create additional growth opportunities for our debt financing, property sales, and LIHTC syndication platforms.

As noted above, our debt financing operations with HUD declined during the first ~~half~~three quarters of 2022. HUD loan volumes accounted for ~~1.4%~~2.8% and ~~2.5%~~2.6% of our total debt financing volumes for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to ~~6.8%~~4.1% and ~~7.5%~~6.0% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, respectively. The decline in HUD debt financing volumes as a percentage of our total debt financing volumes was driven by ~~a combination of higher~~lower aggregate HUD ~~debt financing~~lending volumes ~~in the first half of 2021 and~~industry-wide, as the increasing interest-rate environment discussed ~~above.~~above more acutely impacted the HUD product given the longer lead times associated with HUD executions.

Our originations with the Agencies are our most profitable executions as they provide significant non-cash gains from MSRs that turn into significant cash revenue streams from future servicing fees. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, servicing ~~fees~~fee revenues were up ~~7.5%~~7.6% and ~~8.8%~~8.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, due to the growth in our Agency servicing portfolio over the last year. A decline in our Agency originations would negatively impact our financial results as our non-cash revenues would decrease disproportionately with debt financing volume and future servicing fee revenue would be constrained or decline.

Our multifamily property sales volumes ~~continued to grow~~grew significantly in the first half of 2022, as (i) the multifamily acquisitions market ~~continues to be~~was very active during the first half of the year and (ii) we ~~continue to expand~~expanded the number of property sales brokers and geographical reach of our property sales platform. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, the multifamily acquisitions market began to slow down due to the aforementioned market volatility driven by significant increases in interest rates. Long term, we believe the market fundamentals will continue to be positive for multifamily property sales. Over the last several years, and throughout the pandemic, household formation and a dearth of supply of entry-level single-family homes led to strong demand for rental housing in most geographic areas. Consequently, the fundamentals of the multifamily property sales market were strong prior to the pandemic, and, when combined with historically low vacancies, steadying rental rates, and healthy rent ~~growth and rising real-estate prices,~~collections, it is our expectation that market demand for multifamily property sales will ~~continue to grow~~remain steady as this asset class remains an attractive investment option.

Our debt brokerage platform continued its growth from 2021, with brokered volume increasing during the year. The increase in volume

~~Table of Contents~~

in 2022 reflects the continued demand from private capital providers, with activity focused not only on multifamily but also on other commercial real estate assets such as office, retail, and hospitality. Although lending activity in the non-multifamily asset classes ~~may~~is expected to slow in the short-term, we expect non-multifamily debt financing volumes to continue to remain attractive in the ~~long-term as other commercial real estate asset classes stabilize post-pandemic.~~long-term.

We entered into the Interim Program JV to expand our capacity to originate Interim Program loans beyond the use of our own balance sheet. The demand for transitional lending has brought increased competition from lenders, specifically banks, private debt funds, mortgage real estate investment trusts, and life insurance companies. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we originated $86.3 million of Interim Program JV loans, compared to ~~$351.0~~$665.9 million of originations for the same period last ~~year.~~year, due to the aforementioned competitive pressures and the impact of rising interest rates on interim lending opportunities. Except for one loan that defaulted in early 2019, the loans in our portfolio and in the Interim Program JV continue to perform as agreed.

Overview
Three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021
The ~~increase~~decrease in revenues was primarily driven ~~by increases in servicing fees, property sales broker fees, investment management fees, escrow earnings and other interest income, and other revenues, partially offset~~ by decreases in loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net (“origination fees”) ~~and~~, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net (“MSR income”)., and property broker sales fees, partially offset by increases in servicing fees, investment management fees, escrow earnings and other interest income, and other revenues. Origination fees and MSR income decreased as a result of a 10% decline in overall debt financing volume and a decline in the origination related fee rate and MSR income rate, respectively, as market volatility and rising interest rates resulted in tighter spreads on loans. Property broker sales fees decreased primarily due to a decline in property sales volume. Servicing fees increased largely from an increase in the average servicing portfolio outstanding. ~~The increase in property sales broker fees was a result of a substantial increase in property sales volume.~~ Investment management fees increased due to the addition of investment management fees from our LIHTC operations acquired in the fourth quarter of 2021. Escrow earnings and other interest income increased largely as a result of a higher escrow earnings rate due to rising interest rates. Other revenues increased primarily ~~as a result~~due to the addition of increases in: (i) prepayment fees, (ii) other revenues from our LIHTC operations, and (iii) research subscription fees from a subsidiary acquired in the second half of 2021. The decreases in origination fees and MSR income this quarter were primarily related to a substantial decline in our HUD debt financing volume, partially offset by increases in other debt financing volumes. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2022, we closed a $1.9 billion portfolio of loans with Fannie Mae. Consistent with large portfolio transactions, the origination fee and servicing fee we earn as a percentage of the total transaction size was lower than our typical Fannie Mae originations.
~~Other revenues~~ ~~for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of the following: (i) $20.7 million in~~ other revenues related to our LIHTC operations, ~~(ii) $10.3 million of~~partially offset by a decrease in prepayment and application fees, (iii) $7.5 million of research subscription fees, and (iv) $4.8 million of miscellaneous revenues. Other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consisted of (i) $7.2 million of prepayment and application fees and (ii) $3.4 million of assumption and other revenues.fees.

Amortization and depreciation expense increased primarily due to an increase in the average MSR balance and an increase in intangible asset amortization resulting from acquisitions over the past year. Interest expense on corporate debt increased primarily due to the increase in the size of the debt outstanding, an increase in SOFR to which our Term Debt is indexed, and the assumption of Alliant’s note payable in the fourth quarter of 2021. Other operating expenses increased largely as a result of (i) the overall growth of the Company over the past year, including expenses from acquired subsidiaries, and (ii) an increase in travel and entertainment costs compared to 2021 when our travel and entertainment expenses were depressed due to the on-going effects of the pandemic. The decrease in personnel expenses was primarily a result of decreases in commission costs due to the decrease in debt financing and property

sales volumes and other variable costs due to the Company’s performance, partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits costs primarily driven by an increase in the average headcount.

Income Tax Expense. The ~~increase~~decrease in income tax expense relates ~~primarily~~ to a decrease in income from operations and a one-time $10.2 million tax benefit resulting from the dissolution during the third quarter of 2022 of the Apprise joint venture that we acquired full ownership of earlier in the year (“Apprise dissolution”). Partially offsetting this benefit was (i) an increase in the estimated annual effective tax rate due to ~~a significant~~an increase in nondeductible executive compensation, ~~and~~(ii) a ~~$0.9~~$1.8 million decrease in realizable excess tax benefits, ~~partially offset by~~and (iii) a ~~decrease in income from operations.~~ one-time international property (“IP”) transfer tax of $3.9 million related to the IP intangible assets we acquired as part of the GeoPhy acquisition.

~~Six~~Nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021

The increase in revenues was primarily driven by increases in servicing fees, property sales broker fees, investment management fees, escrow earnings and other interest income, and other revenues, partially offset by ~~a decrease~~decreases in origination fees and MSR income. Servicing fees increased largely from an increase in the average servicing portfolio outstanding. The increase in property sales broker fees was primarily a result of a substantial increase in property sales volume. Investment management fees increased due to the addition of investment management fees from our LIHTC operations acquired in the fourth quarter of 2021. Escrow earnings and other interest income increased largely as a result of higher escrow earnings rates due to rising interest rates. Other revenues increased primarily as a result of increases in: (i) a one-time gain from the revaluation of our previously held equity-method investment in Apprise (“Apprise revaluation gain”), (ii) prepayment fees, (iii) other revenues from our LIHTC operations, ~~and~~ (iv) research subscription fees, and (v) gains from ~~a subsidiary acquired in the second half of 2021.~~equity-method investments. Origination fees and MSR ~~Income~~income decreased primarily as a result of a ~~significant decrease~~decline in ~~HUD~~the earnings rate from our debt financing ~~volumes.~~

~~Other revenues~~ ~~for~~volumes due to market volatility and rising interest rates over the ~~six~~past several months, ~~ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of the following: (i) $39.6 million of Apprise revaluation gain (as defined above), (ii) $19.9 million of prepayment and application fees, (iii) $28.5 million~~partially offset by an increase in other revenues related to our LIHTC operations, iv) $12.0 million of research subscription fees, and (v) $12.4 million of miscellaneous revenues. Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consisted of (i) $12.0 million of prepayment and application fees and (ii) $4.4 million of miscellaneous revenue.Agency debt financing volume.

The increase in expenses was due to increases in all expense categories. The increase in personnel expenses was primarily a result of increases in commission costs due to the increase in property sales brokers fees and salaries and benefits costs driven by an increase in the average headcount. Amortization and depreciation expense increased primarily due to an increase in the average MSR balance and an increase in intangible asset amortization resulting from acquisitions ~~over the past year.~~in 2021 and 2022. Interest expense on corporate debt largely increased due to the increase in the size of the debt outstanding, ~~and~~including the assumption of Alliant’s note payable in the fourth quarter of 2021. Other operating expenses increased largely as a result of (i) the overall growth of the Company over the past year including expenses from acquired subsidiaries and (ii) an increase in travel and entertainment costs compared to 2021 when our travel and entertainment expenses were depressed due to the on-going effects of the pandemic.

Income Tax Expense. The ~~increase~~decrease in income tax expense relates ~~primarily~~ to ~~the 11% increase~~a decrease in income from operations and a one-time $10.2 million tax benefit resulting from the Apprise dissolution. Partially offsetting this benefit was (i) an increase in the estimated annual effective tax rate due to ~~a significant~~an increase in nondeductible executive ~~compensation.~~compensation, (ii) a $1.8 million decrease in realizable excess tax benefits, and (iii) a one-time expense of $3.9 million related to the IP transfer.

We do not expect our annual estimated effective tax rate to differ significantly from the ~~27.2%~~27.0% rate estimated for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Accordingly, we expect an estimated annual effective tax rate of between approximately 26.5% and 27.5% for the remainder of the year. The effective tax rate ~~increased~~decreased year over year from ~~22.6%~~23.2% in 2021 to ~~23.8%~~21.3% in 2022 due to the factors noted above.

A discussion of the financial results for our segments is included further below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, readers should use adjusted EBITDA in addition

~~Table of Contents~~

to, and not as an alternative for, net income. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest expense on our term loan and Alliant’s note payable, and amortization and depreciation, adjusted for provision (benefit) for credit losses net of write-offs, stock-based incentive compensation charges, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net, and the gain from revaluation of a previously held equity-method investment. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts

Table of Contents

shown for adjusted EBITDA may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges that are used to determine compliance with financial covenants.

We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. We believe that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provides useful information to investors by offering:

●

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results;

●

the ability to better identify trends in our underlying business and perform related trend analyses; and

●

a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with net income on both a consolidated and segment basis. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income as follows:

Financial Condition

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are generated from loan sales, servicing fees, escrow earnings, net warehouse interest income, property sales broker fees, investment management fees, research subscription fees, investment banking advisory fees, and other income, net of loan originations and operating costs. Our cash flows from operations are impacted by the fees generated by our loan originations, the timing of loan closings, and the period of time loans are held for sale in the warehouse loan facility prior to delivery to the investor.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We usually lease facilities and equipment for our operations. Our cash flows from investing activities also include the funding and repayment of loans held for investment, contributions to and distributions from joint ventures, purchases of equity-method investments, and the purchase of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities pledged to Fannie Mae. We opportunistically invest cash for acquisitions and MSR portfolio purchases.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We use our warehouse loan facilities and, when necessary, our corporate cash to fund loan closings, both for loans held for sale and loans held for investment. We also use warehouse facilities to assist in funding investments in tax credit equity before transferring them to a tax credit fund. We believe that our current warehouse loan facilities are adequate to meet our increasing loan origination needs. Historically, we have used a combination of long-term debt and cash on hand to fund large acquisitions. Additionally, we repurchase shares, pay cash dividends, make long-term debt principal payments, and repay short-term borrowings on a regular basis. We issue stock primarily for exercise of stock options (cash inflow) and for acquisitions (non-cash transactions).

The increase in net cash ~~provided by~~used in operating activities was driven primarily by loans originated and sold.

Excluding cash used for the origination and sale of loans, cash flows provided by operating activities were ~~$21.7~~$127.7 million in 2022, ~~down~~up from ~~$27.6~~$104.9 million in 2021.

The significant decrease in Total cash over the past year is largely attributable to acquisition activity, partially offset by an increase in our long-term debt.

The change from net cash provided by investing activities in 2021 to net cash used in investing activities in 2022 was due to (i) an increase in ~~the~~ cash used in acquisitions ~~due to an increase in the size of the acquisition~~ in 2022 compared to 2021, (ii) a decrease in the net payoff of loans held for investment, (iii) a decrease in the payoff of pledged AFS securities, which is unpredictable, (iv) an increase in capital expenditures due to the build out of our new corporate headquarters, (v) an increase in the purchase of equity-method investments as capital calls for capital commitments increased year over year, and (vi) an increase in the purchase of AFS securities, which is impacted by payoffs of pledged AFS securities, partially offset by the change from net investments in joint ventures to net distributions from joint ventures. InFor the ~~first half of~~nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had three acquisitions, two of which were small, ~~acquisitions~~ compared to the GeoPhy acquisition, which was substantially larger than the acquisitions in 2021, resulting in an increase in cash used for acquisitions. We also made a large payment for working capital adjustments for the Alliant acquisition in 2022, with no comparable activity in 2021. Net payoff of loans held for

investment decreased, as there were fewer payoffs and originations in 2022 than in 2021. Our purchases of AFS securities increased in 2022, as we reinvested the funds from the payoff of AFS securities that occurred late in 2021.

The increase in cash ~~used in~~provided by financing activities was attributable to ~~increases in:~~ (i) an increase in net warehouse ~~repayments,~~borrowings and (ii) repayments of notes payable, (iii) repurchases of common stock, (iv) dividends paid, and (v) cash payments of contingent consideration liabilities, partially offset by (a) a decrease in net borrowings of interim warehouse notes payables and (b) a decrease in repayments of secured ~~borrowings.~~borrowings, partially offset by (i) a change to net borrowings from net repayments of interim warehouse notes payable, (ii) an increase in repayments of notes payable, (iii) an increase in the payment of contingent consideration as the Company made payments in 2022 for outsized performances of certain acquired entities in 2021, (iv) an increase in repurchases of common stock, and (v) an increase in dividends paid. The increase in the net ~~repayments~~borrowings of warehouse notes payable was due to the aforementioned increase in cash ~~received~~used for loan origination activity. The ~~decrease in~~change to net cash borrowings from net repayments of interim warehouse notes payable was primarily due to a reduction in ~~borrowings~~repayments as we had fewer originations in 2022. The increase in repayments of notes payable was due to the quarterly paydowns of a note payable at our subsidiary, ~~Alliant. The~~ Alliant, ~~note payable requires much more significant paydowns than our corporate debt.~~with no comparable activity in 2021. The increase in cash paid for repurchases of common stock was related to significant vesting events in our various share-based compensation plans and the $11.1 million repurchase of common stock through our 2022 stock repurchase program compared to no repurchases under the 2021 stock repurchase program. Cash dividends paid increased largely as a result of the increase in our dividend to $0.60 per share in 2022 compared to $0.50 per share in 2021.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the decrease in origination fees was the result of a ~~36-point~~19-basis-point decrease in our origination fee rate ~~partially offset by the increase~~and a 7.2% decrease in ~~overall~~segment debt financing volume. The decline in the origination fee rate was ~~largely due to~~driven by a combination of a decline in the ~~significant decline~~Agency debt financing volumes, particularly in our HUD debt financing ~~volume~~volumes, and a decline in the ~~$1.9 billion Fannie Mae portfolio, which comprised just under 50% of~~margins we earn on our ~~Fannie Mae~~ debt financing ~~volume for~~products as spreads tightened due to large interest rate increases during the third quarter ~~and had a very low origination fee rate. The portfolio was the primary driver~~ of the 105% increase in our Fannie Mae debt financing volume and was 13% of our total debt financing volume for the quarter.

Our origination fee rate declined due to substantial growth in brokered and Fannie Mae debt financing volume. Our brokered loan volumes grew 40.8% year over year. Excluding the aforementioned large Fannie Mae portfolio, our Fannie Mae debt financing volumes grew 17.7% year over year.

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average servicing portfolio period over period as shown below, primarily due to a ~~$6.0~~$6.1 billion net increase in Fannie Mae serviced loans and a ~~$2.1~~$1.8 billion net increase in brokered loans serviced over the past year, coupled with increases in the servicing portfolio’s average servicing fee rates as shown below. The increases in the average servicing fee rates are the result of the large volume of Fannie Mae debt financing volume over the past ~~year.~~year, resulting in Fannie Mae loans composing a higher percentage of the overall portfolio. Fannie Mae loans have the highest servicing fees of all our products.

Revenues

Other Revenues. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the increase was primarily due to the $39.6 million Apprise revaluation gain, which was recognized in the first quarter foof 2022. As part of our acquisition of GeoPhy, we acquired its 50% interest in Apprise. The revaluation of our existing 50% ownership interest with a carrying value of $18.9 million to a fair value of $58.5 million resulted in a $39.6 million gain. The remaining increase was primarily due to a ~~$4.6~~$7.0 million increase in income from our other equity-method investments, mostly related to the first quarter of 2022. Partially offsetting the increase in Other revenues was a $3.0 million decrease in investment income from the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

Expenses

Personnel. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the decrease was primarily the result of a ~~$5.1~~$6.2 million decrease to the accrual for subjective bonuses and a ~~$2.1~~$4.9 million decrease in stock compensation expense related to the Company’s performance share plan, partially offset by a slight increase in salaries and benefits due to an increase in the average headcount.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease was primarily the result of (i) a $6.3 million decrease to the accrual for subjective bonuses, (ii) a $3.0 million decrease in compensation expense related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan, and (iii) a $1.2 million decrease in stock compensation expense related to the Company’s performance share plan, partially offset by a ~~$1.2~~$5.5 million increase in salaries and benefits due to an increase in the average ~~headcount and $1.5 million increase in stock compensation.~~

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the increase was primarily the result of (i) a $4.8 million increase in salaries and benefits due to an increase in the average headcount and (ii) a $3.7 million increase in stock compensation expense, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in compensation expense related to the Company’s deferred compensation planheadcount.

Interest expense on corporate debt. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the increases were primarily driven by athe doubling in the size of our corporate debt during the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase in the interest rate on our corporate debt as the lock on our floating interest rate expired, and ~~increases~~an increase in interest expense related to a note payable at our subsidiary, Alliant, which we assumed in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Other Operating Expenses. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the increase was primarily driven by: ~~(i)~~ a ~~$6.5~~$3.6 million increase in office expenses ~~(ii) a $1.8 million increase~~and small increases in ~~professional fees,~~other expenses including travel and ~~(iii) a $1.4 million increase in~~entertainment and marketing costs. The increases in expenses were attributable to the growth of the Company, especially from acquired subsidiaries.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the increase was primarily driven by: (i) a ~~$7.2~~$6.4 million increase in professional fees largely due to increases in legal and other professional fees related to our acquisitions and growth of the Company, (ii) ~~a $7.5~~an $11.1 million increase in office expenses related to the growth of the Company and acquired offices, (iii) a ~~$1.8~~$2.6 million increase in travel and entertainment costs attributable to the growth of the Company and as travel and entertainment costs in 2021 were depressed due to the pandemic, and (iv) a ~~$1.7~~$2.0 million increase in marketing costs related to the growth of the Company, especially from acquisition subsidiaries.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense is determined at a consolidated corporate level and allocated to each segment proportionally based on each segment’s income from operations, except for significant, one-time tax activities, which are allocated entirely to the segment impacted by the tax activity.

Three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021

The decrease in personnel expense was primarily due to the decreases in accruals for subjective bonuses and expenses related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan, partially offset by slightly increased salaries and benefits resulting from increases in average headcount. Other operating expenses increased as a result of the overall growth of the Company over the past year and from increased office costs from our acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Uses of Liquidity, Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our significant recurring cash flow requirements consist of liquidity to (i) fund loans held for sale; (ii) fund loans held for investment under the Interim Loan Program; (iii) pay cash dividends; (iv) fund our portion of the equity necessary for the operations of the Interim Program JV, and other equity-method investments; (v) fund investments in properties to be syndicated to LIHTC investment funds that we will asset-manage; (vi) make payments related to earnouts from acquisitions, (vii) meet working capital needs to support our day-to-day operations, including debt service payments, joint venture development partnerships contributions, servicing advances and payments for salaries, commissions, and income taxes,; and (viii) meet working capital to satisfy collateral requirements for our Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing obligations and to meet the operational liquidity requirements of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, Ginnie Mae, and our warehouse facility lenders.

~~Table of Contents~~

Fannie Mae has established benchmark standards for capital adequacy and reserves the right to terminate our servicing authority for all or some of the portfolio if, at any time, it determines that our financial condition is not adequate to support our obligations under the DUS agreement. We are required to maintain acceptable net worth as defined in the standards, and we satisfied the requirements as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The net worth requirement is derived primarily from unpaid balances on Fannie Mae loans and the level of risk-sharing. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the net worth requirement was ~~$266.2~~$275.0 million, and our net worth was ~~$621.6~~$646.0 million, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we were required to maintain at least ~~$52.8~~$54.7 million of liquid assets to meet our operational liquidity requirements for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, Ginnie Mae and our warehouse facility lenders. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had operational liquidity of ~~$116.0~~$131.9 million, as measured at our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC.

We paid a cash dividend of $0.60 per share for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2022, which is 20% higher than the quarterly dividend paid in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021. On ~~August 3,~~November 8, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.60 per share for the third quarter of 2022. The dividend will be paid on ~~September 2,~~December 9, 2022 to all holders of record of our restricted and unrestricted common stock as of ~~August 18,~~November 25, 2022.

Over the past three years, we have returned ~~$208.5~~$216.4 million to investors through the repurchase of 0.6 million shares of our common stock under share repurchase programs for a cost of ~~$39.9~~$37.2 million and cash dividend payments of ~~$168.6~~$179.2 million. Additionally, we have invested ~~$649.1~~$655.1 million in acquisitions, $300.0 million of which was financed by an increase in our Term ~~Debt.~~Loan (as defined below). On occasion, we may use cash to fully fund some loans held for investment or loans held for sale instead of using our warehouse lines. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we did not fully fund any such loans. We continually seek opportunities to complete additional acquisitions if we believe the economics are favorable.

In February 2022, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that permits the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of shares of our common stock over a 12-month period beginning February 13, 2022. Through ~~June~~September 30, 2022 we have repurchased 109 thousand shares under the 2022 stock repurchase program and have $63.9 million of remaining capacity under that program.

Historically, our cash flows from operations and warehouse facilities have been sufficient to enable us to meet our short-term liquidity needs and other funding requirements. We believe that cash flows from operations will continue to be sufficient for us to meet our current obligations for the foreseeable future.

Restricted Cash and Pledged Securities

Restricted cash consists primarily of good faith deposits held on behalf of borrowers between the time we enter into a loan commitment with the borrower and the investor purchases the loan and cash held in collection accounts to be used to fund the repayment of the Alliant note payable. We are generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program, our only ~~off-balance~~off-

Table of Contents

balance sheet arrangement. We are required to secure this obligation by assigning collateral to Fannie Mae. We meet this obligation by assigning pledged securities to Fannie Mae. The amount of collateral required by Fannie Mae is a formulaic calculation at the loan level and considers the balance of the loan, the risk level of the loan, the age of the loan, and the level of risk-sharing. Fannie Mae requires collateral for Tier 2 loans of 75 basis points, which is funded over a 48-month period that begins upon delivery of the loan to Fannie Mae. Collateral held in the form of money market funds holding U.S. Treasuries is discounted 5%, and Agency MBS are discounted 4% for purposes of calculating compliance with the collateral requirements. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we held substantially all of our restricted liquidity in Agency MBS in the aggregate amount of ~~$139.4~~$138.8 million. Additionally, the majority of the loans for which we have risk-sharing are Tier 2 loans. We fund any growth in our Fannie Mae required operational liquidity and collateral requirements from our working capital.

We are in compliance with the ~~June~~September 30, 2022 collateral requirements as outlined above. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, reserve requirements for the ~~June~~September 30, 2022 DUS loan portfolio will require us to fund ~~$70.4~~$71.8 million in additional restricted liquidity over the next 48 months, assuming no further principal paydowns, prepayments, or defaults within our at-risk portfolio. Fannie Mae has assessed the DUS Capital Standards in the past and may make changes to these standards in the future. We generate sufficient cash flows from our operations to meet these capital standards and do not expect any future changes to have a material impact on our future operations; however, any future changes to collateral requirements may adversely impact our available cash.

Under the provisions of the DUS agreement, we must also maintain a certain level of liquid assets referred to as the operational and unrestricted portions of the required reserves each year. We satisfied these requirements as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

~~Table of Contents~~

Sources of Liquidity: Warehouse Facilities and Notes Payable
Warehouse Facilities
We utilize a combination of warehouse facilities and notes payable to provide funding for our operations. We utilize warehouse facilities to fund our Agency Lending, Interim Loan Program, and LIHTC operations. Our ability to originate Agency mortgage loans and loans held for investments depends upon our ability to secure and maintain these types of financing agreements on acceptable terms. For a detailed description of the terms of each warehouse agreement including the affirmative and negative covenants, refer to “Warehouse Facilities” in NOTE 6 in the consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, as updated in NOTE 6 in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
Notes Payable
We have a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $600 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) that bears interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 225 basis points with a floor of 50 basis points and has a stated maturity date of December 16, 2028 (or, if earlier, the date of acceleration of the Term Loan pursuant to the term of the Credit Agreement). At any time, we may also elect to request one or more incremental term loan commitments not to exceed the lesser of $230 million and 100% of trailing four-quarter Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, provided that total indebtedness would not cause the leverage ratio to exceed 3.00 to 1.00. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan was ~~$597.0~~$595.5 million. The note payable and the warehouse facilities are senior obligations of the Company. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement.
For a detailed description of the terms of the Credit Agreement, refer to “Notes Payable – Term Loan Note Payable” in NOTE 6 in the consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the Credit Agreement in 2022.
We have a note payable through our wholly-owned subsidiary Alliant, which has an outstanding balance of ~~$126.9~~$120.2 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.75%. The note has a stated maturity of January 15, 2035 and requires quarterly payments of principal, interest, and other required priority items shortly after the beginning of each quarter as further detailed in “Notes Payable – Alliant Note Payable” in NOTE 6 in the consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the terms of the note payable during 2022.

(1) As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, this balance consists entirely of Interim Program JV managed loans. We indirectly share in a portion of the risk of loss associated with Interim Program JV managed loans through our 15% equity ownership in the Interim Program JV. We have no exposure to risk of loss for the loans serviced directly for the Interim Program JV partner. The balance of this line is included as a component of assets under management in the Supplemental Operating Data table above.
(2) At-risk servicing portfolio is defined as the balance of Fannie Mae DUS loans subject to the risk-sharing formula described below, as well as a small number of Freddie Mac loans on which we share in the risk of loss. Use of the at-risk portfolio provides for comparability of the full risk-sharing and modified risk-sharing loans because the provision and allowance for risk-sharing obligations are based on the at-risk balances of the associated loans. Accordingly, we have presented the key statistics as a percentage of the at-risk portfolio.
For example, a $15 million loan with 50% risk-sharing has the same potential risk exposure as a $7.5 million loan with full DUS risk sharing. Accordingly, if the $15 million loan with 50% risk-sharing were to default, we would view the overall loss as a percentage of the at-risk balance, or $7.5 million, to ensure comparability between all risk-sharing obligations. To date, substantially all of the risk-sharing obligations that we have settled have been from full risk-sharing loans.
(3) Represents the maximum loss we would incur under our risk-sharing obligations if all of the loans we service, for which we retain some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. The maximum exposure is not representative of the actual loss we would incur.

Table of Contents

Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing obligations are based on a tiered formula and represent substantially all of our risk-sharing activities. The risk-sharing tiers and the amount of the risk-sharing obligations we absorb under full risk-sharing are provided below. Except as described in the following paragraph, the maximum amount of risk-sharing obligations we absorb at the time of default is generally 20% of the origination unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of the loan.

~~Table of Contents~~


Risk-Sharing Losses		Percentage Absorbed by Us
First 5% of UPB at the time of loss settlement		100%
Next 20% of UPB at the time of loss settlement		25%
Losses above 25% of UPB at the time of loss settlement		10%
Maximum loss		20% of origination UPB

Fannie Mae can double or triple our risk-sharing obligation if the loan does not meet specific underwriting criteria or if a loan defaults within 12 months of its sale to Fannie Mae. We may request modified risk-sharing at the time of origination, which reduces our potential risk-sharing obligation from the levels described above.

We use several techniques to manage our risk exposure under the Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing program. These techniques include maintaining a strong underwriting and approval process, evaluating and modifying our underwriting criteria given the underlying multifamily housing market fundamentals, limiting our geographic market and borrower exposures, and electing the modified risk-sharing option under the Fannie Mae DUS program.

The “Business” section of “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains a discussion of the risk-sharing caps we have with Fannie Mae.

We regularly monitor the credit quality of all loans for which we have a risk-sharing obligation. Loans with indicators of underperforming credit are placed on a watch list, assigned a numerical risk rating based on our assessment of the relative credit weakness, and subjected to additional evaluation or loss mitigation. Indicators of underperforming credit include poor financial performance, poor physical condition, poor management, and delinquency. A collateral-based reserve is recorded when it is probable that a risk-sharing loan will foreclose or has foreclosed, and a reserve for estimated credit losses and a guaranty obligation are recorded for all other risk-sharing loans.

The calculated CECL reserve for the Company’s ~~$51.2~~$52.1 billion at-risk Fannie Mae servicing portfolio as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 was ~~$37.7~~$38.9 million compared to $52.3 million as of December 31, 2021. The significant decrease in the CECL reserve was principally related to a reduction in our historical loss factor used for both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and the forecast-period loss rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, three at-risk loans with an aggregate UPB of ~~$78.7~~$78.2 million were in default compared to two loans with an aggregated UPB of $48.5 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The collateral-based reserve on defaulted loans was $10.8 million and $7.6 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and ~~June~~September 30, 2021, respectively. We had a ~~benefit~~provision for risk-sharing obligations of ~~$4.8~~$1.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to a benefit for risk-sharing obligations of ~~$4.3~~$1.3 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. We had a benefit for risk-sharing obligations of ~~$14.2~~$13.0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to a benefit for risk-sharing obligations of ~~$15.0~~$13.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

We have never been required to repurchase a loan.

New/Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As seen in NOTE 2 in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are no accounting pronouncements that the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued and that have the potential to impact us but have not yet been adopted by us as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
For loans held for sale to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD, we are not currently exposed to unhedged interest rate risk during the loan commitment, closing, and delivery processes. The sale or placement of each loan to an investor is negotiated prior to closing on the loan with the borrower, and the sale or placement is typically effectuated within 60 days of closing. The coupon rate for the loan is set at the same time we establish the interest rate with the investor.

Some of our assets and liabilities are subject to changes in interest rates. Earnings from escrows generally track ~~30-day LIBOR. 30-day LIBOR~~the effective Federal Funds Rate (“EFFR”). The EFFR was 308 basis points and six basis points as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, ~~was 179 basis points and 10 basis points,~~ respectively. The following table shows the impact on our annual escrow earnings due to a 100-basis point increase and decrease in ~~30-day LIBOR~~EFFR based on our escrow balances outstanding at each period end. A portion of these changes in earnings as a result of a 100-basis point increase in the ~~30-day LIBOR~~EFFR would be delayed several months due to the negotiated nature of some of our escrow arrangements.

The borrowing cost of our warehouse facilities used to fund loans held for sale, loans held for investment, and investments in tax credit equity is based on LIBOR or Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The base SOFR was ~~150~~298 basis points as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. 30-day LIBOR as of September 30, 2021 was eight basis points. The interest income on our loans held for investment is based on LIBOR or SOFR. The LIBOR or SOFR reset date for loans held for investment is the same date as the LIBOR or SOFR reset date for the corresponding warehouse facility. The following table shows the impact on our annual net warehouse interest income due to a 100-basis point increase and decrease in LIBOR or Adjusted Term SOFR, based on our warehouse borrowings outstanding at each period end.

Our Term Loan is based on Adjusted Term SOFR as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. In December 2021, we fully paid the prior $300 million term loan agreement, which was based on interest at 30-day LIBOR and entered into a $600 million note payable with an interest based Adjusted Term SOFR and a SOFR floor of 50 basis points. The following table shows the impact on our annual earnings due to a 100-basis point increase and decrease in SOFR and/or 30-day LIBOR as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and ~~June~~September 30, 2021, respectively, based on our current and previous notes payable balance outstanding at each period end. The Alliant note payable is fixed-rate debt; therefore, there is no impact to our earnings related to this debt when interest rates change.

A 100-basis point increase or decrease in the weighted average discount rate would decrease or increase, respectively, the fair value of our MSRs by approximately $40.6 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to ~~$36.9~~$37.2 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Our Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac servicing engagements provide for prepayment fees in the event of a voluntary prepayment prior to the expiration of the prepayment protection period. Our servicing contracts with institutional investors and

Table of Contents

HUD do not require them to provide us with prepayment fees. As of ~~June~~both September 30, 2022 ~~88%~~and 2021, 89% of the servicing fees are protected from the risk of prepayment through prepayment ~~provisions, compared to 89% as of June 30, 2021.~~provisions. Given this significant level of prepayment protection, we do not hedge our servicing portfolio for prepayment risk.

London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) Transition

In the first quarter of 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, the regulator for the administration of LIBOR, announced specific dates for its intention to stop publishing LIBOR rates, including the 30-day LIBOR (our primary reference rate) which is scheduled for

~~Table of Contents~~

June 30, 2023. It is expected that legacy LIBOR-based loans will transition to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) on or before June 30, 2023. With respect to the loans we underwrite and service, we have been working closely with the GSEs on this matter through our participation on subcommittees and advisory councils.We continue to monitor our LIBOR exposure, review legal contracts and assess fallback language impacts, engage with our clients and other stakeholders, and monitor developments associated with LIBOR alternatives. We have also updated our debt agreements with warehouse facility providers to include fallback language governing the transition and have already transitioned our Term Loan and five of our warehouse facilities to SOFR.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 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 such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have integrated and continue to enhance the accounting processes and internal ~~controls~~control over financial reporting for Alliant and its affiliates into our internal control over financial reporting environment.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we may be party to various claims and litigation, none of which we believe is material. We cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties and other costs, and our reputation and business may be impacted. Our management believes that any liability that could be imposed on us in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We have included in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K descriptions of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, future performance, or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). There have been no material changes from the disclosures provided in the 2021 Form 10-K with respect to the Risk Factors. Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s stock.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the Company’s approval, grantees have the option of electing to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations at the time of vesting or exercise by allowing the Company to withhold and purchase the shares of stock otherwise issuable to the grantee. During the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we purchased 1014 thousand shares to satisfy grantee tax withholding obligations on share-vesting events. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a ~~stock~~share repurchase program that permits the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company’s common stock over a 12-month period beginning on February 13, 2022.
