Our operating platforms occupy a unique position in the housing finance value chain, providing liquidity to growing segments of the U.S. housing market not well served by government programs. We deliver customized housing credit investments to a diverse mix of investors through our best-in-class securitization platforms, whole-loan distribution activities and our publicly-traded securities.

We operate our business in three segments: Residential Mortgage Banking, Business Purpose Mortgage Banking, and Investment Portfolio.
Our primary sources of income are net interest income from our investments and non-interest income from our mortgage banking activities. Net interest income primarily consists of the interest income we earn on investments less the interest expense we incur on borrowed funds and other liabilities. Income from mortgage banking activities is generated through the origination and acquisition of loans, and their subsequent sale, securitization, or transfer to our investment portfolios.portfolio.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation - (continued)
Principles of Consolidation
In accordance with GAAP, we determine whether we must consolidate transferred financial assets and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for financial reporting purposes. We currently consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia securitization entities issued prior to 2012 ("Legacy Sequoia"), certain entities formed during and after 2012 in connection with the securitization of Redwood Select prime loans and Redwood Choice expanded-prime loans ("Sequoia"), entities formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest single-family rentalBPL term and bridge loans ("CAFL") and an entity formed in connection with the securitization of home equity investment contracts ("HEIs"). We also consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and Freddie Mac Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction ("SLST") securitizations in which we have invested. Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood Trust, Inc. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained, although for certain entities we are exposed to financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor or co-sponsor, servicing administrator, collateral administrator or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.
For financial reporting purposes, the underlying loans owned at the consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST entities are shown under Residential loans held-for-investment, at fair value, the underlying loans at the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entity are shown under Consolidated Agency multifamily loans, at fair value, the underlying single-family rentalBPL term and bridge loans at the consolidated CAFL entities are shown under Business purpose loans held-for-investment, at fair value, and the underlying HEIs at the consolidated HEI securitization entity are shown under Home equity investments, at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. The asset-backed securities (“ABS”) issued to third parties by these entities are shown under ABS issued. In our consolidated statements of income, we record interest income on the loans owned at these entities and interest expense on the ABS issued by these entities as well as fair value changes, other income and expenses associated with these entities' activities. See Note 15 for further discussion on ABS issued.
We also consolidate two partnerships ("Servicing Investment" entities) through which we have invested in servicing-related assets. We maintain an 80% ownership interest in each entity and have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these partnerships.
See Note 4 for further discussion on principles of consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. Our estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from our estimates and the differences could be material.

Acquisitions
Riverbend Funding, LLC
On July 1, 2022, we acquired Riverbend Funding LLC ("Riverbend"), a private mortgage lender for residential transitional and commercial real estate investors. Aggregate consideration for this acquisition included an initial cash payment of approximately $44 million (with a remaining estimated provisional purchase consideration payable subject to reconciliation and final settlement), and a potential earnout component to be paid contingent on Riverbend generating specified revenues over a threshold amount during the two-year period ending July 1, 2024, up to a maximum potential amount payable of $25.3 million. Based on the terms of the merger agreement, we determined that the earnout component should be accounted for as contingent purchase consideration, which was valued at zero at the acquisition.
We accounted for the acquisition of Riverbend under the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805. We performed the purchase price allocation and recorded underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values using the information available as of each acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase price allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. Through September 30, 2022, there were no significant changes to our purchase price allocations, which are summarized in the following table.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators and additionally evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets to determine if revisions to the remaining periods of amortization are warranted. We reviewed our finite-lived intangible assets and determined that the estimated lives were appropriate and that there were no indicators of impairment at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

We recorded total goodwill of $23 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the total consideration exceeding the fair value of the net assets acquired from Riverbend. The goodwill was attributed to the expected business synergies and expansion into new business purpose loan markets, as well as access to the knowledgeable and experienced workforce continuing to provide complementary sourcing of assets for the business. We expect $23 million of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. For reporting purposes, we included the intangible assets and goodwill from these acquisitionsthe Riverbend acquisition within our Business Purpose Mortgage Banking segment.



There were no changes to the balance of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies
Included in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 is a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Newly Adopted Accounting StandardsStandard Updates ("ASUs")
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)." This new guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by reducing the number of accounting models to separately present certain conversion features in equity. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2022, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” ASU 2022-03 was issued to (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2022-03 and we plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date. We do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures." ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross writeoffs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. This new guidance iswas effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.31, 2022. We plan to adoptadopted this new guidance byin the required date and dofirst quarter of 2023, which did not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method," which will expand companies' abilities to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of portfolios of financial assets (or beneficial interests) in a fair value hedge. The ASU expands the use of the portfolio layer method (previously referred to as the last-of-layer method) to allow multiple hedges of a single closed portfolio of assets using spot starting, forward starting, and amortizing-notional swaps. The ASU also permits both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets to be included in the closed portfolio of assets hedged in a portfolio layer hedge. The ASU further requires that basis adjustments not be allocated to individual assets for active portfolio layer method hedges, but rather be maintained on the closed portfolio of assets as a whole. This new guidance iswas effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.31, 2022. We plan to adoptadopted this new guidance byin the required date and dofirst quarter of 2023, which did not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04,2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation - Deferral of the EffectsSunset Date of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.Topic 848." This new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAPdefers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021,December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This newrelief in Topic 848. The objective of the guidance clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting applyis to derivatives that are affected byprovide temporary relief during the discounting transition. This new guidance is effective for all entities as oftransition period. Through March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our consolidated financial statements. Through September 30, 2022,2023, we have not elected to apply the optional expedients and exceptions to any of our existing contracts, hedging relationships, or other transactions.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” ASU 2022-03 was issued (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASU 2022-03 and we plan to adopt this new guidance by the required date. We do not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on our financial statements.
We have an established cross-functional group that has evaluated our exposure to LIBOR, reviewed relevant contracts and has monitored regulatory updates to assess the potential impact to our business, processes and technology from the ultimate full cessation of LIBOR in 2023, and has established a LIBOR transition plan to facilitate an orderly transition to alternative reference rates. We continue to remain on track with our LIBOR transition plan, which requires different solutions depending on the underlying asset or liability with LIBOR exposure. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our primary LIBOR exposure included the following: $689 million of repo or warehouse debt, $37 million of interest rate swaps, $757$742 million of bridge loans and $140 million of trust preferred securities and subordinated notes debt. Since December 31, 2021, certain of our contracts, such as interest rate swaps, have experienced an orderly market transition and we have transitioned a substantial portion of our derivative positions off of LIBOR-benchmarks. Other contracts, such as warehouse debt agreements, require bilateral amendments, many of which we have amended or are currently in the process of amending.
We anticipate most of these facilities will be amended in 2022, with sufficient time remaining to resolve the remainder, which also have fallback provisions for benchmark replacement. In early 2022, we began benchmarking all newly originated BPL bridge loans to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), and our existing portfolio ofSOFR. The LIBOR-indexed BPL bridge loans are short-dated and we expect the vast majority to mature before the LIBOR cessation date in 2023. have outstanding have fallback provisions for benchmark replacement. Additionally, as a result of legislation that was passed in the state of New York, our trust preferred securities and subordinated notes are expected to convert to SOFR upon the cessation of LIBOR.
Balance Sheet Netting
Certain of our derivatives and short-term debt are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. Under GAAP, in certain circumstances we may elect to present certain financial assets, liabilities and related collateral subject to master netting arrangements in a net position on our consolidated balance sheets. However, we do not report any of these financial assets or liabilities on a net basis, and instead present them on a gross basis on our consolidated balance sheets.

(1)Amounts presented in these columns are limited in total to the net amount of assets or liabilities presented in the prior column by instrument. In certain cases, we have pledged excess cash collateral or financial assets to a counterparty (which, in certain circumstances, may be a clearinghouse) that exceed the financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Additionally, in certain cases, counterparties may have pledged excess cash collateral to us that exceeds our corresponding financial assets. In each case, these excess amounts are excluded from the table; they are separately reported in our consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, respectively.
(2)Interest rate agreements, TBAs and TBAsfutures are components of derivative instruments on our consolidated balance sheets.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
For each category of financial instrument set forth in the table above, the assets and liabilities resulting from individual transactions within that category between us and a counterparty are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement with that counterparty that provides for individual transactions to be aggregated and treated as a single transaction. For certain categories of these instruments, our transactions generally are cleared and settled through one or more clearinghouses that are substituted as our counterparty. References herein to master netting arrangements or similar agreements include the arrangements and agreements governing the clearing and settlement of these transactions through the clearinghouses. In the event of the termination and close-out of any of those transactions, the corresponding master netting agreement or similar agreement provides for settlement on a net basis. Any such settlement would include the proceeds of the liquidation of any corresponding collateral, subject to certain limitations on termination, settlement, and liquidation of collateral that may apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a party. Such limitations should not inhibit the eventual practical realization of the principal benefits of those transactions or the corresponding master netting arrangement or similar agreement and any corresponding collateral.


Note 4. Principles of Consolidation
GAAP requires us to consider whether securitizations we sponsor and other transfers of financial assets should be treated as sales or financings, as well as whether any VIEs that we hold variable interests in – for example, certain legal entities often used in securitization and other structured finance transactions – should be included in our consolidated financial statements. The GAAP principles we apply require us to reassess our requirement to consolidate VIEs each quarter and therefore our determination may change based upon new facts and circumstances pertaining to each VIE. This could result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements during subsequent reporting periods.
Analysis of Consolidated VIEs
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia, CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. Each of these entities is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities of these entities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of ours. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have retained, although for certain securitizations, we are exposed to financial risks associated with our role as a sponsor, servicing administrator, collateral administrator, or depositor of these entities or as a result of our having sold assets directly or indirectly to these entities.
We also consolidate two Servicing Investment entities formed to invest in servicing-related assets that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we held an 80% ownership interest in, and were responsible for the management of, each such entity. See Note 11 for a further description of these entities and the investments they hold and Note 13 for additional information on the minority partner’s non-controlling interest. Additionally, we consolidated an entity that was formed to finance servicer advances that we determined was a VIE and for which we, through our control of one of the aforementioned partnerships, were the primary beneficiary. The servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, secured by servicer advances. We consolidate the securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. See Note 14 for additional information on the servicer advance financing.
During 2021, we consolidated aan HEI securitization entity formed to invest in HEIs that we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we owned a portion of the subordinate certificates issued by the entity and had certain decision making rights for the entity. See Note 10 for a further description of this entity and the investments it holds and Note 13 for additional information on non-controlling interests in the entity. We consolidate the HEI securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
For certain of our consolidated VIEs, we have elected to account for the assets and liabilities of these entities as collateralized financing entities ("CFE"). A CFE is a variable interest entity that holds financial assets and issues beneficial interests in those assets, and these beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. Accounting guidance for CFEs allows companies to elect to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of a CFE using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets or fair value of the financial liabilities. The net equity in an entity accounted for under the CFE election effectively represents the fair value of the beneficial interests we own in the entity.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
In addition to our consolidated VIEs for which we made the CFE election, we consolidate certain VIEs for which we did not make the CFE election, and elected to account for the ABS issued by these entities at amortized cost. These include our CAFL Bridge securitizations, Freddie Mac SLST re-securitization, and Servicing Investment entities. During the three months ending March 31, 2023, we called the Freddie Mac SLST re-securitization and paid off the associated outstanding ABS.

We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities, as we did not meet the GAAP sale criteria at the time we transferred financial assets to these entities. Our involvement in consolidated Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities continues in the following ways: (i) we continue to hold subordinate investments in each entity, and for certain entities, more senior investments; (ii) we maintain certain discretionary rights associated with our sponsorship of, or our subordinate investments in, each entity, including rights to direct loss mitigation activities; and (iii) we continue to hold a right to call the assets of certain entities (once they have been paid down below a specified threshold) at a price equal to, or in excess of, the current outstanding principal amount of the entity’s asset-backed securities issued. These factors have resulted in our continuing to consolidate the assets and liabilities of these Sequoia, CAFL and HEI securitization entities in accordance with GAAP.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Freddie Mac K-Series and SLST securitization trusts resulting from our investment in subordinate securities issued by these trusts, and in the case of certain CAFL securitizations, resulting from securities acquired through our acquisition of CoreVest. Additionally, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of Servicing Investment entities from our investment in servicer advance investments and excess MSRs. In each case, we maintain certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of these investments that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest, as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and the right to receive benefits of and the obligation to absorb losses from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
Analysis of Unconsolidated VIEs with Continuing Involvement
Since 2012, we have transferred residential loans to 46 Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and accounted for these transfers as sales for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with ASC 860. We also determined we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we lacked the power to direct the activities that will have the most significant economic impact on the entities. For certain of these transfers to securitization entities, for the transferred loans where we held the servicing rights prior to the transfer and continued to hold the servicing rights following the transfer, we recorded mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") on our consolidated balance sheets, and classified those MSRs as Level 3 assets. We also retained senior and subordinate securities in these securitizations that we classified as Level 3 assets. Our continuing involvement in these securitizations is limited to customary servicing obligations associated with retaining servicing rights (which we retain a third-party sub-servicer to perform) and the receipt of interest income associated with the securities we retained.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we did not call any of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we called three of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities, and purchased $102 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from the securitization trusts. In association with these calls, we realized a $0.3 million gain on the securities we owned from these called securitizations, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). At September 30, 2022, we held $158 million of loans for sale at fair value that were acquired following the calls.
The following table presents information related to securitization transactions that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation - (continued)
Analysis of Unconsolidated Third-Party VIEs
Third-party VIEs are securitization entities in which we maintain an economic interest, but do not sponsor. Our economic interest may include several securities and other investments from the same third-party VIE, and in those cases, the analysis is performed in consideration of all of our interests. The following table presents a summary of our interests in third-party VIEs at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, grouped by asset type.
Table 4.84.6 – Third-Party Sponsored VIE Summary

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


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

(1)The weighted average input values for all loan types are based on unpaid principal balance. The weighted average input values for all other assets and liabilities are based on relative fair value.
(2)The fair value of the loans and HEIs held by consolidated entities is based on the fair value of the ABS issued by these entities and the securities and other investments we own in those entities, which we determined were more readily observable in accordance with accounting guidance for collateralized financing entities. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL SFR, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and HEI securitization entities was $224$261 million, $314$295 million, $335$323 million, $32 million, and $14$13 million, respectively.
(3)Values represent pricing inputs used in securitization pricing model. Credit spreads generally represent spreads to applicable swap rates.
(4)Represents the estimated average duration of outstanding servicer advances at a given point in time (not taking into account new advances made with respect to the pool).
(4)As a market convention, certain securities are priced to a no-loss yield and therefore do not include default and loss severity assumptions.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)
Determination of Fair Value
We generally use both market comparable information and discounted cash flow modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs as indicated in the preceding table. Accordingly, a significant increase or decrease in any of these inputs in isolation — such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, interest rates, or other valuation assumptions — would likely result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
Included in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 is a more detailed description of our financial instruments measured at fair value and their significant inputs, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 valuation hierarchy.
Certain of our Other investments (inclusive of strategic investments in early-stage start-up companies) are Level 3 financial instruments that we account for under the fair value option. These investments generally take the form of equity or debt with conversion features and do not have readily determinable fair values. We initially record these investments at cost and adjust their fair value based on observable price changes, such as follow-on capital raises or secondary sales, and will also evaluate impacts to valuation from changing market conditions and underlying business performance. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the carrying value of these investments was $10$6 million.

Our real estate securities include mortgage-backed securities, which are presented in accordance with their general position within a securitization structure based on their rights to cash flows. Senior securities are those interests in a securitization that generally have the first right to cash flows and are last in line to absorb losses. Mezzanine securities are interests that are generally subordinate to senior securities in their rights to receive cash flows, and have subordinate securities below them that are first to absorb losses. Subordinate securities are all interests below mezzanine. Exclusive of our re-performing loan securities, nearly all of our residential securities are supported by collateral that was designated as prime at the time of issuance.
Trading Securities
We elected the fair value option for certain securities and classify them as trading securities. Our trading securities include both residential and multifamily mortgage-backed securities, and our residential securities also include securities backed by re-performing loans ("RPL").

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

Evaluating AFS Securities for Credit Losses
Gross unrealized losses on our AFS securities were $11 million at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. We evaluate all securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is credit-related (resulting in an allowance for credit losses recorded in earnings) or non-credit-related (resulting in an unrealized loss through other comprehensive income). At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we did not intend to sell any of our AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at their maturity. We review our AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position to identify those securities with losses based on an assessment of changes in expected cash flows for such securities, which considers recent security performance and expected future performance of the underlying collateral.
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our current expected credit loss ("CECL") allowance related to our AFS securities was $2.3$2.6 million. AFS securities for which an allowance is recognized have experienced, or are expected to experience, adverse cash flow changes. In determining our estimate of cash flows for AFS securities we may consider factors such as structural credit enhancement, past and expected future performance of underlying mortgage loans, including timing of expected future cash flows, which are informed by prepayment rates, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing loans, FICO scores at loan origination, year of origination, loan-to-value ratios, and geographic concentrations, as well as general market assessments. Changes in our evaluation of these factors impacted the cash flows expected to be collected at the assessment date and were used to determine if there were credit-related adverse cash flows and if so, the amount of credit-related losses. Significant judgment is used in both our analysis of the expected cash flows for our AFS securities and any determination of security credit losses.
The table below summarizes the weighted average of the significant credit quality indicators we used for the credit loss allowance on our AFS securities at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Payable to Non-Controlling Interests
In 2018, Redwood and a third-party co-investor, through two partnership entities consolidated by Redwood, purchased servicer advances and excess MSRs related to a portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced by the co-investor (see Note 4 and Note 11 for additional information on the partnership entities and associated investments). We account for the co-investor’s interests in the entities as liabilities, and at March 31, 2023, the carrying value of their interests was $23 million, representing their current economic interest in the entities. Earnings from the partnership entities are allocated to the co-investors on a proportional basis and during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 we allocated $1 million of income, (loss).and $1 million of income, respectively, to the co-investors, which were recorded in Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income.
In 2021, Redwood and a third-party investor co-sponsored the transfer and securitization of HEI through the HEI securitization entity and other third-party investors retained subordinate securities issued by the securitization entity alongside Redwood. See Note 10 for a further discussion of the HEI securitization. We account for the co-investors' interests in the HEI securitization entity as a liability, and at March 31, 2023, the carrying value of their interests was $23 million, representing the fair value of their economic interests in the HEI entity. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the investors' share of earnings from their retained interests were $1 million and $6 million, respectively, and were recorded through investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income.

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the accrued interest payable balance on this financing was $0.3$0.5 million and the unamortized capitalized commitment costs were $0.1$0.5 million.
In connection with our acquisition of Riverbend, we assumed $43 million of promissory notes which are payable on demand with a 90-day notice from the lender or which may be repaid by us with a 90-day notice. These unsecured, non-marginable, recourse notes were issued in three separate series with fixed interest rates between 6% and 8%. During the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we repaid $12$5 million of principal of these notes.
We also maintain a $10 million committed line of credit with a financial institution that is secured by certain mortgage-backed securities with a fair market value of $1 million at September 30, 2022. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings on this facility.

At issuance, we sold $215 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust. The ABS were issued at a discount and we have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost.

The securitization is structured with $250 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 24 months of the transaction (through May 2024), unless an amortization event occurs prior to the expiration of the 24-month reinvestment period. Amortization trigger events include, among other events, delinquency rates or default rates exceeding specified thresholds for three consecutive periods, or the effective advance rate exceeding a specified threshold.

Amortization trigger events include, among other events, delinquency rates or default rates exceeding specified thresholds for three consecutive periods, or the effective advance rate exceeding a specified threshold.
During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of the HEI securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of HEIs, which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $146 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained a portion of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust.

Note 15. Asset-Backed Securities Issued - (continued)
The actual maturity of each class of ABS issued is primarily determined by the rate of principal prepayments on the assets of the issuing entity. Each series is also subject to redemption prior to the stated maturity according to the terms of the respective governing documents of each ABS issuing entity. As a result, the actual maturity of ABS issued may occur earlier than the stated maturity. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the majority of the ABS issued and outstanding had contractual maturities beyond five years. See Note 4 for detail on the carrying value components of the collateral for ABS issued and outstanding.

Convertible Notes
In June 2022, we issued $215 million principal amount of 7.75% convertible senior notes due 2027. These notes require semi-annual interest payments at a fixed annual coupon rate of 7.75% until maturity or conversion, which will be no later than June 15, 2027. After deducting the underwriting discount and offering costs, we received $208 million of net proceeds. Including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest expense yield on these notes was approximately 8.50% per annum. We may elect to settle conversions either entirely in cash or in a combination of cash and shares of common stock. Upon conversion, the conversion value will be paid in cash up to at least the principal amount of the notes being converted. The initial conversion rate of the notes is 95.6823 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to a conversion price of $10.45 per common share).
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, $199 million principal amount of 4.75% convertible debt and $1 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs were reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt as the maturity of the notes was less than one year as of August 2022.

We determined that none of our leases contained an implicit interest rate and used a discount rate equal to our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis to determine the present value of our total lease payments. As such, we determined the applicable discount rate for each of our leases using a swap rate plus an applicable spread for borrowing arrangements secured by our real estate loans and securities for a length of time equal to the remaining lease term on the date of adoption.lease commencement date. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our leases was 5 years and 5.2%, respectively.
Commitment to Fund BPL Bridge Loans
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had commitments to fund up to $990$811 million of additional advances on existing BPL bridge loans. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the borrower and other terms regarding advances that must be met before we fund the commitment. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we carried a $3$1 million contingent liability related to these commitments to fund construction advances. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we recorded a net market valuation gain of $1$0.4 million and a net market valuation loss of $2 million, respectively, related to this liability through Mortgage banking activities, net and Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

These purchase agreements specify monthly minimum and maximum amounts of HEIs subject to such purchase commitments. We may terminate the purchase agreement and associated purchase commitment relating to $85 million of remaining commitments upon 90 days prior notice. We account for these investments under the fair value option. SeeSee Note 10 for additional detail on these investments.
Commitments to Fund Strategic Investments
In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into a $25 million commitment to an investment fund with the mission of providing quality workforce housing opportunities in several California urban communities, including the San Francisco Bay Area. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had funded $15 million of this commitment. This investment is included in Other investments on our consolidated balance sheets.
In 2021, we entered into a commitment to fund a $5 million RWT Horizons investment. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had funded $1 million of this commitment. This investment is included in Other investments on our consolidated balance sheets.
Riverbend Contingent Consideration
As part of the consideration for our acquisition of Riverbend, we may make earnout payments payable in cash, based on generating specified revenues over a threshold amount during the two-year period ending July 1, 2024, up to a maximum potential amount payable of $25.3 million. These contingent earnout payments are classified as a contingent consideration liability on our consolidated balance sheets and carried at fair value. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our estimated fair value of this contingent liability was zero.
Loss Contingencies — Risk-Sharing
During 2015 and 2016, we sold conforming loans to the Agencies with an original unpaid principal balance of $3.19 billion, subject to our risk-sharing arrangements with the Agencies. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these arrangements was $44 million and this amount was partially collateralized by assets we transferred to pledged accounts and is presented as pledged collateral in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We have no recourse to any third parties that would allow us to recover any amounts related to our obligations under the arrangements. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had incurred less than $100 thousand of cumulative losses under these arrangements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, other income related to these arrangements was $0.3 million and $1 million, respectively.$0.2 million.
All of the loans in the reference pools subject to these risk-sharing arrangements were originated in 2014 and 2015, and at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the loans had an unpaid principal balance of $454$429 million, a weighted average FICO score of 756759 (at origination), and LTV ratio of 74% (at origination). At September 30, 2022, $10March 31, 2023, $9 million of the loans were 90 or more days delinquent, of which fourfive of these loans with an unpaid principal balance of $1 million were in foreclosure. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the carrying value of our guarantee obligation was $7$6 million and included $5 million designated as a non-amortizing credit reserve, which we believe is sufficient to cover current expected losses under these obligations.
Our consolidated balance sheets include assets of special purpose entities ("SPEs") associated with these risk-sharing arrangements (i.e., the "pledged collateral" referred to above) that can only be used to settle obligations of these SPEs for which the creditors of these SPEs (the Agencies) do not have recourse to us. At both September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, assets of such SPEs totaled $30 million, and liabilities of such SPEs totaled $7$6 million.

Loss Contingencies — Residential Repurchase ReserveReserves
We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential and business purpose loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties and for conforming residential loans associated with MSRs that we have purchased from third parties. We do not originate residential loans and we believe the initial risk of loss due to loan repurchases (i.e., due to a breach of representations and warranties) would generally be a contingency to the companies from whom we acquired the loans. However, in some cases, for example, where loans were acquired from companies that have since become insolvent, repurchase claims may result in our being liable for a repurchase obligation.
At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, our repurchase reserve associated with our residential loans and MSRs was $6 million and $9$6 million, respectively, and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, we received sevenone and eightzero repurchase requests,request(s), respectively, and repurchased onefive and onezero loan(s), respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we recorded a repurchase provision expense of $0.1 million and a reversal of repurchase provision expense of $4 million, respectively, which were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).zero. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we recorded repurchase provision expense of $0.3$0.2 million, and $0.6 million, respectively, which werewas recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net, and Other income on our consolidated statements of income (loss).income.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our repurchase reserve associated with business purpose loans sold to third-parties was zero and $1 million, respectively. During the three months ended March, 31, 2023 and 2022, we received four and zero repurchase requests, respectively, for business purpose loans sold to third parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we repurchased eleven and zero business purpose loans, respectively, that had been sold to third parties. The business purpose loans repurchased in the first quarter of 2023, resolved the open repurchase requests related to loans sold to third-parties that were outstanding as of December 31, 2022, for which the $1 million reserve was previously established. No incremental repurchase provision was recorded in the first quarter of 2023 and, at March 31, 2023, no open repurchase requests were outstanding for business purpose loans sold to third parties.

Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”)
At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the target number of PSUs that were unvested was 1,267,8492,078,171 and 1,473,883,2,354,002, respectively. Vesting for PSUs generally occurs three years from their respective grant dates based on various total shareholder return performance calculations, as discussed in Note 1819 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, for PSUs granted in 2020 and 2021, we decreased the book value total shareholder return estimate for the 2022 performance period, reducing the future equity compensation expense related to these awards by $3 million.2022.
For 206,034275,831 target PSU awards that were granted in December 2018,2019, the performance vesting period ended on January 1, 2022.2023. These 20182019 PSU awards failed to reach a threshold level under their performance-based vesting criteria and resulted in the vesting of no shares of our common stock underlying these PSUs.

Long-Term Cash-Based Awards and Cash Settled Deferred Stock Units
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022, $2 million of long-term cash-based retention awards were granted to employees that will vest and be paid over a three-year period, subject to continued employment through the vesting periods from 2022 through 2025. At both September 30, 2022 and DecemberMarch 31, 2021, the unamortized compensation cost of long-term cash-based awards was $4 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022,2023, there were no cash-settled deferred stock units granted to employees. Cash-settled deferred stock units that were granted in 2020, 2021 and 20212022 and each vest over four yearsfour-year periods and are subject to continued employment through 2025.the vesting periods through 2026. At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the unamortized compensation cost of cash-settled deferred stock units was $2$5 million and $7$5 million, respectively. The unamortized compensation cost is adjusted for changes in the value of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. These awards are classified as liabilities in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and are being amortized over their respective vesting periods on a straight-line basis, adjusted for changes in the value of our common stock at the end of each reporting period.
Cash Settled Performance Stock Units
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $6 million of cash-settled performance stock units ("csPSUs") were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees which vest over approximately three years through January 1, 2026. The target number of csPSUs that were granted totaled 663,499 units based on a per unit grant-date fair value of $9.75. The equivalent number of underlying shares of common stock that vest and that the recipient becomes entitled to receive at the time of vesting will generally range from 0% to 250% of the target number of csPSUs granted, with the target number of csPSUs granted being adjusted to reflect the value of any dividends declared on our common stock during the vesting period. Upon vesting, the recipient will receive the settlement of the vested shares in cash based on the closing market price of our common stock on the final vesting date. These awards are classified as liabilities in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and are being amortized over their respective vesting periods on a straight-line basis, adjusted for changes in the value of the csPSUs at the end of each reporting period. At March 31, 2023, unamortized compensation cost of the csPSUs was $5 million.
The grant date fair value of these csPSUs of $9.75 per unit was determined through Monte-Carlo simulations using the following assumptions: the common stock closing price at the grant date for Redwood and each member of the comparator group, the average closing price of the common stock price for the 60 trading days beginning January 1, 2023 for Redwood and each member of the comparator group, and the range of performance-based vesting based on absolute TSR over three years from the grant date. For this csPSU grant, an implied volatility assumption of 71% (based on historical volatility), a risk-free rate of 4.23% (the three-year Treasury rate on the grant date), and a 0% dividend yield (the mathematical equivalent to reinvesting the dividends over the three-year performance period as is consistent with the terms of the PSUs) were used.
With respect to the csPSU awards granted during three months ended March 31, 2023:
First, vesting would range from 0% - 250% of two-thirds of the Target csPSUs granted based on the level of book value total shareholder return ("bvTSR") attained over the three-year vesting period, with 100% of this two-thirds of the Target csPSUs vesting if three-year bvTSR is 25%. bvTSR is defined as the percentage by which our book value "per share price" has increased or decreased as of the last day of the three-year vesting period relative to the first day of such vesting period, adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of all dividends declared and/or paid on our common stock.
Second, vesting would range from 0% - 250% of one-third of the Target csPSUs granted based on Redwood’s relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) against a comparator group of companies measured over the three-year vesting period, with 100% of this one-third of the Target csPSUs vesting if three-year rTSR corresponds to 55th percentile rTSR.
Third, if the aggregate vesting level after steps one and two is greater than 100% of the Target csPSUs, but the Company's absolute total shareholder return ("TSR") is negative over the three-year performance period, vesting would be capped at 100% of Target csPSUs. TSR is defined as the percentage by which our common stock “per share price” has increased or decreased as of the last day of the three-year vesting period relative to the first day of such vesting period, adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of all dividends declared and/or paid on our common stock.
Refer to Note 2122 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, for additional information regarding long-term cash-based awards and cash-settled deferred stock units.

Note 23. Taxes
We believe that we have met all requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income and meet certain other requirements that relate to, among other things, the assets it holds, the income it generates, and the composition of its stockholders. Many requirements for qualification as a REIT are complex and require analysis of particular facts and circumstances. Often there is only limited judicial or administrative interpretive guidance and as such there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or courts would agree with our various tax positions. If we were to fail to meet all the requirements for qualification as a REIT and the requirements for statutory relief, we would be subject to federal corporate income tax on our taxable income and we would not be able to elect to be taxed as a REIT for four years thereafter. Such an outcome could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, we recognized a benefit from income taxes of $10$1 million and a provision for income taxes of $14$2 million, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal and state tax rates to our effective tax rate at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.2022.

OVERVIEW
Business Update
Despite continued stress in the mortgage sector, we generated a positive total economic return to shareholders in the first quarter of 2023. Our GAAP earnings were $0.02 per diluted share for the first quarter, our GAAP book value declined to $10.18 per share was $9.40 at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and we paid a 5.6% decline from $10.78 per share at June 30, 2022, driving a GAAP lossquarterly dividend of $(0.44)$0.23 per share for the thirdfirst quarter. As
Our liquidity position at quarter-end was the case in the second quarter, mark-to-market adjustments were the primary driverstrong with $404 million of cash and cash equivalents, up approximately 60% from year-end 2022. All of our GAAP loss forunrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held in short-term treasuries, money-market funds or accounts at global money-center banks, and we consolidated our banking exposure with our strongest counterparties. Year-to-date, through the quarter and contributed $(0.50) per sharedate of unrealized fair value changes in the third quarter.
During the third quarter,filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we focused on maintaining liquidity and maximizing our balance sheet flexibility. We ended the quarter with $297have repurchased approximately $50 million of unrestricted cash on hand, unencumbered assets of $491 million,our convertible notes maturing in August 2023 at a discount to par, resulting in modest gains, and approximately $3.8 billion of excess capacity on our warehouse lines. We were successful during the quarter in adding $900have just over $125 million of new financing capacity across multiple borrowing facilities (with both new and existing domestic depository institutions) to further support our operating platforms.this series of convertible notes remaining outstanding. Our overall recourse leverage ratio was 2.3x at March 31, 2023(1) was 2.6x, which included only 0.8x secured recourse leverage within our Investment Portfolio(2). This allowed us to remain opportunistic across our operating segments, a postureLooking ahead, we expect to carry through year-end.
For the third quarter, we deployed $235 million ofhave also made significant progress in developing private capital which included repurchases of our common stock, the acquisition of Riverbend Funding, LLC (“Riverbend”), and further investments in organically created business-purpose loans (“BPL”) and third-party investments. We closed the Riverbend acquisition on July 1, 2022, and have progressed with key integration workstreamspartnerships that we expect to beenhance our liquidity, operating and distribution capabilities going forward.
The improvement in earnings relative to the fourth quarter was largely completeddriven by year-end. At current levels,progress in our mortgage banking activities in the first quarter of 2023, including almost $1 billion in whole loan distributions (through both sales and securitizations) across Residential and Business Purpose Lending (“BPL”) that resulted in $19 million of net mortgage banking revenues. These dispositions freed up meaningful capital and left us with relatively low loan volume in our inventories at quarter-end, particularly in Residential Mortgage Banking where our capital usage has declined over 95% since its peak in 2021. We continued to reduce operating costs during the quarter, allowing our residential and BPL operating platforms to run more efficiently going forward. Our headcount at March 31, 2023 included 301 full-time employees, down from a peak of 400 in 2022.
Negative market sentiment from dislocations in the banking sector in March sent credit spreads for liquid instruments wider, notwithstanding the recent decline in interest rate volatility. Our Investment Portfolio performed well despite this dynamic, and we believe there is anmarket conditions are attractive opportunity to invest infor investing, particularly as banks evaluate their balance-sheet management. Currently, just under 90% of our own common shares and, as such, we expect opportunistic share repurchases to be an on-going option forallocated capital deployment in the near term.
Withinsits within our Investment Portfolio, an increase relative to 2021 when our mortgage banking businesses were operating at September 30, 2022,a faster pace. It is important to note that our allocated capital does not include our Corporate capital (excluding debt), which was $603 million as of March 31, 2023 and includes primarily our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and other corporate investments. We believe that the diversification of our model and the ability to rotate between our roles as issuer and investor remain a competitive advantage. The same dynamics that currently present as challenges for issuers underscore the opportunities we see going forward as an investor.
Underlying credit trends and valuations in our investment portfolio were relatively stable in the first quarter, as we observed healthy cash flow while delinquency rates remained largely steady relative to the fourth quarter of 2022. Given financial stresses in the market, activity for our BPL asset management team has increased, though 90 day+ delinquencies still remain low relative to both their historical range and our long-term underwritten expectations. Consistent with overall market trends, we are seeing construction timelines increase for certain borrowers and we are closely following developments related to third-party projects in distress in the multifamily space. Trends in the commercial real estate sector more broadly underscore the importance of sponsor quality and active asset management in our BPL portfolio, and feedback from our asset management team remains critical to our underwriting team in building our loan origination pipeline and focusing on sponsors with the experience needed to operate in these challenging market conditions.
With a weighted average quarter-end carrying value of $0.63 per $1.00 of face value, and a projected forward loss-adjusted yield of 17%, we estimate our Investment Portfolio had $3.6 billion of economic investments; 77% of which were organically created and 23% of which were purchased from third-parties. We estimate there was $458approximately $460 million (or $4.05$4.10 per share) of net discount to par value at September 30, 2022 that we believe represents potential upsideMarch 31, 2023. Given the continued stability in Redwood’s book value.
Our investment portfolio sits in a strong fundamental credit position given consistent cash flows, underlying seasoning and robust home price appreciation. Delinquencies in our portfolio remain low, at approximately 2% across our organically-created Residential and BPL investments combined at September 30, 2022. We believe the seasoning of our portfolio assets is a positive factor in light of near-term downward pressure on home prices expected as a result of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy actions. Our portfolio overall has benefited from significant appreciation in home prices and rents the last several years, providing a tailwind to fundamental performance even in a more stressed housing market. This inherent downside protection may support the potential recoverability of the unrealized losses we have taken over the last few quarters.
While markets need to stabilize for our operating businesses to return to their optimal levels of operations, both of our mortgage banking platforms delivered substantially better quarter-on-quarter results as compared to the second quarter of 2022, notwithstanding continued market dislocation. Across our Residential and Business Purpose Mortgage Banking businesses, we distributed almost $1 billion of loans during the quarter. Despite capital marketsdelinquency trends in the consumer residential sector remaining largely distressed, we sold $612 million of residential loans to various whole loans buyers at accretive levels and within our historical target range for gain on sale margins. Our BPL team also completed an innovative $274 million private SFR securitization at the endsegment of the third quarter, in additioninvestment portfolio, it is of note that approximately 70% of this discount is associated with our jumbo residential and residential re-performing loan investments, where credit performance has continued to selling $85 millionexceed our risk-based expectations. The average loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of loans. Our ability to distribute loans through both securitization and whole loan sales in challenging markets is a testament to the strength ofunderlying our platforms, the quality of our products and the depth of our whole loan networks.
We expect conditions in the consumer residential sector to remain challengingsecurities portfolio, adjusted for a number of quarters as industry volumes continue to be affected by rapidly increasing mortgage rates, which, along with record home price appreciation in recent years, has pushed housing affordabilityrealized to new lows. The spread between mortgage rates and the 10-year Treasury recently reached an all-time high, even as the 10-year Treasury yield itself has risen over 250 basis points since the beginning of the year. The institution that has been the largest buyer of mortgage-backed securities, the Federal Reserve, has exited the market, and money center banks and overseas investors have also pulled back significantly. This dynamic,date, was in the near term, has resulted in significant market risk for those aggregating loans for future securitizations, including us.low- to mid-40s at March 31, 2023, demonstrating the amount of equity within these investments.
As a result of these market conditions, we have remained conservatively positioned in Residential Mortgage Banking, reducing our quarterly jumbo loan locks(3)BPL production in the thirdfirst quarter remained largely consistent with recent trends, as low housing inventory and constrained affordability continue to $461create a natural support for rental demand. We funded $438 million of BPL loans in the first quarter, roughly flat to the fourth quarter, with a similar production mix of 40% term and focusing on moving risk expediently, operating efficiently and preserving flexibility. This includes ongoing rationalization of our cost structure and disciplined pipeline management, including through maintaining60% bridge. Looking ahead, we believe we are positioned to capture market share intelligently as certain competitors react to lower overall loan inventory balancesvolume with more aggressive lending terms. In addition, so long as credit risk can be priced appropriately, we believe liquidity concerns for regional banks are likely to act as a tailwind for our BPL platform and nimble distribution strategies with whole loan buyers. In light of these conditions, we intentionally reducedprovide an opportunity for us to further customize lending products to serve our capital allocation tobest customers and identify areas where our Residential Mortgage Banking business by almost 60% sinceliquidity will be at the beginning of 2022. We see attractive uses for this freed-up capital, including investment opportunitieshighest premium in residential credit made possible by the market downturn.coming months.

TurningIn addition to Business Purpose Mortgage Banking, whilethe potential benefit to our BPL position of retrenchment by traditional bank lenders, we believe the opportunity is even larger in Residential. Since inception, our residential platform has competed as an aggregator that has served investors in our RMBS bonds and whole loans. While changes may take time to manifest, we are seeing early but definitive signs of a fundamental shift in bank asset allocations that we believe will anchor our go forward residential conduit strategy. We expect an increased desire by certain banks to sell newly originated loans that would normally be held for investment in their portfolios. This may also lead to more strategic dispositions that present us with scalable portfolio opportunities.
We also remain focused on the evolving landscape in the underlying homeowner equity. Over the last several years we have seen some resiliencysteadily grown our exposure to home equity investments (“HEI”), which allow consumers to access this value without adding to their monthly debt burden. To date, we have been an investor in HEI while playing a role in product development and in determining how the asset can be efficiently financed.
With first mortgage rates still elevated and access to second-lien financing largely constrained to those with the highest credit scores, consumer demand for shorter duration bridge loan productsHEI remains robust. We believe the marketplace as currently situated does not have sufficient capacity to meet expected demand, putting Redwood in a unique position to institutionalize the product to better align consumers and investors. Our mission has long been to make quality housing accessible to all American households. HEI will be a critical component of this mission moving forward. As such, we have continued to build our platform and we believe our capital position and reputation with investors, regulators and other stakeholders will distinguish us in this market.
While 2023 started with positive momentum, the near-term impact from the banking crisis that unfolded in March has moderated the near-term outlook for our operating businesses, and thus we anticipate our earnings to remain below our current dividend levels over the next few quarters. Subject to determination by our Board of Directors, we expect to lower our quarterly dividend in the second quarter of 2023 to be in line with recent dividend changes made in the broader mortgage REIT sector this year. These declines on average have been in the context of 20% to 30% reductions to dividends. A major factor behind this change is the prospect of utilizing more of our capital for opportunities that we originate, we expect volumes to moderate from record levels earlier this year as higher interest rates and macroeconomic uncertainty cause housing investors to be more cautious. In the third quarter, we saw this trend play out as 83% of our origination volume was in our bridge product and 17% was in our SFR product. As affordability remains challenged, we believe that strong occupancy rates, low vacancies, and high consumer mortgage rates should continue to support strong and consistent cash flows for our rental loan products. We have long promoted our BPL franchisesee as a life-cycle lenderresult of stresses at regional banks. Several banks have recently signaled to us a renewed need for an established partner to acquire their residential loans and we want to ensure that our ability to provide both short- and long-term financing options makes us an attractive lenderbusiness retains sufficient capital for borrowers.these emerging opportunities.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income from our investment portfolio increaseddecreased by $3 million and $36$14 million during the three and nine-monththree-month periods, respectively, and generally resulted fromas the benefit of higher average asset balances in 2022, as we increased our investments in2023 from continued deployment into bridge loans and in securities we retained from CoreVest securitizations during the prior twelve months. We recognized elevated levels of discount accretion on our available-for-sale securities andmonths was more than offset by lower yield maintenance income on our SFRBPL term securities, lower accretion income on our AFS securities, and higher financing costs for secured financing on our fixed-rate assets. Yield maintenance income decreased $7 million during the first quarter of 2022. In association with a continuedthree-month periods, as the sharp rise in interest rates throughout 2022 diminished incentives for borrowers to refinance. Accretion income on AFS securities decreased $8 million during the three-month periods, as rising interest rates slowed prepayment speeds on manyand changed our expected timing of calls of our assets slowed, andavailable-for-sale securities, which had elevated accretion income in the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, steady deployment of capital into HEI throughout the last twelve months, which does not generate net interest income, but is partially financed with debt, resulted in a reduction$3 million increase in discount accretion and yield maintenance income on our SFR securities in the second and third quarters. Additionally, net interest expense during the three-month periods.
Net interest income from Residential and Business Purpose Mortgage Banking operations increaseddecreased by $1$7 million and $5$2 million, respectively, during the three and nine-monththree-month periods, respectively, as a result of higherlower average balances of SFR loan inventory and higher financing costs given the rise in benchmark rates. Volume in the residential conduit was intentionally pulled back significantly during the respective periods.past twelve months, driving the inventory from over $1 billion loans at March 31, 2022 to approximately $27 million as of March 31, 2023.
These increases were offset by $6We also saw a $4 million and $8 million decreasesdecrease in net interest income during the three and nine-monththree-month periods, respectively, from higher corporate interest expense resulting from the issuance of new convertible debt in June 2022 and from our trust preferred securities, which are variable rate and were impacted by higher benchmark interest rates in 2022. Additionally, Residential Mortgage Banking operations experienced $5 million and $3 million decreases in net interest income duringover the three and nine-month periods, respectively, as a result of a lower average balance of loan inventory in the respective periods.past twelve months.

ContinuedWe use a balanced combination of fixed and floating rate debt to finance our fixed and floating rate investments. However, over the past year, continued increases in benchmark interest rates and borrowing spreads negatively impacted our net interest income. Recent policy statements from the Federal Reserve indicate the potential for further increases in the federal funds rate, which if enacted could negatively impact our futureresult in lower net interest income, in relationbut we currently have a larger variable rate asset portfolio than variable-rate liabilities. Additionally, to the portion of ourextent interest rates remain elevated or increase further, certain fixed-rate assetsterm borrowings that are financed with floating-rate debt, as well as in relation to fixed-rate debt that maturesmature in the near-term that iscoming quarters could have to be refinanced with newat higher interest rates, which could cause a reduction in net interest income. Further, the recent disruptions within the banking system, and uncertainty around the upcoming U.S. government deadline to raise the debt at current market rates. Additionally,ceiling, could also pressure banks' cost of capital, which could lead to wider financing spreads and increase our financing costs. As we demonstrated during the first quarter of 2023, to the extent we add incremental leverage to our investment portfolio, net interest income could temporarily decrease whileuntil proceeds from those financings are redeployed into other assetsinvestments. For additional discussion of risks related to global political and economic events, including changes or if additional capital is deployed into HEIs which do not earn interest income.uncertainty with respect to the credit rating or creditworthiness of the United States, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including under the heading “Risks Related to our Investments and Investing Activity” and the risk factor titled “Interest rate fluctuations have had, and may continue to have, various negative effects on us by leading to, among other things, reduced earnings or increased volatility in our earnings.”
Additional detail on net interest income is provided in the “Net Interest Income” section that follows.
Mortgage Banking Activities, Net
The decrease inOverall income from mortgageMortgage banking activities, net was flat during the three and nine-monththree-month periods, was attributable to $31as a $5 million and $123 million decreases, respectively,increase from our Residential Mortgage Banking operations and $16 million and $74 million decreases, respectively, from our Business Purpose Mortgage Banking operations, was offset by a $5 million decrease from Residential Mortgage Banking operations.
The decreasesincrease in income from Business Purpose mortgage banking activities to $13 million in the first quarter of 2023, resulted from higher margins, as we were able to distribute loans accretively during the quarter. The benefit to margins from tighter spreads during the first quarter of 2023, was partially offset by lower origination fees, resulting from a decrease in funding volume year-over-year. The first quarter of 2022 was characterized by significant credit spread widening, whereas we saw spreads stabilize in the first quarter of 2023 and volume remained fairly healthy despite late quarter volatility around the onset of the recent banking crisis.
The decrease from Residential Mortgage Banking operations werewas attributable to lowera significant pullback in acquisition volumes as well as decreased margins during 2022,the past twelve months, as a sharp increase in mortgage rates during 2022 contributed to an industry-wide decrease in residential mortgage origination activity. Additionally, given market volatility, we focused on risk management and were deliberate in moderating volume and transferring financial risk quickly during 2022. Margins and profitability for Residential Mortgage Banking during the first nine months2023, distributing $686 million of 2022 were impacted by wider credit spreads forjumbo loans through two securitizations and additional whole loans as well as increased rate volatility, which resulted in higher hedging costs. In the third quarter of 2022, margins recovered on improved distribution execution.
Despite increased volumes during the first nine months of 2022, Business Purpose Mortgage Banking income declined year-over-year, as continued market volatility and extreme credit spread widening in 2022 negatively impacted profitability. Spreads stabilized in the third quarter and volume remained fairly healthy, which contributed to $14 million of BPL mortgage banking activity income in the third quarter of 2022.sales.
A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows.
Investment Fair Value Changes, Net
Investment fair value changes, net, is primarily comprised of the change in fair values of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option and their associated interest rate hedges. During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, flat overall investment fair value changes reflected credit spread stability across most of our investment classes, as some fair value increases from interest rate movements on our RPL securities were mostly offset by decreases in values of associated risk management derivatives. While fundamental credit performance, including delinquencies and loan-to-value ratios, remained stable across our broader portfolio, during the first quarter of 2023, we recorded $9 million of negative fair value changes in our CAFL securities, which was primarily driven by a credit event on a single asset underlying a retained bond in that portfolio. The decline in fair value of our CAFL securities was nearly offset by increases in investment fair value changes from net investments in Sequoia entities, HEIs at Redwood and Trading securities, namely Credit Risk Transfer securities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, negative investment fair value changes reflected extreme levels of credit spread widening across many of our longer-duration, fixed-rate investments (re-performing loan securities, residential securities and called loans), partially offset by fair value increases in our HEIs, IO securities, MSRs, and interest rate hedges, which benefited from rising interest rates. While ourrates and steady home equity investments ("HEIs") experienced price increases inappreciation. We also saw certain CAFL subordinate securities that benefited from credit resolutions during the first half of 2022 due to home price appreciation, in the third quarter of 2022, they saw declines in prices as the outlook for home price appreciation deteriorated. Negative fair value changes primarily reflected unrealized mark-to-market losses, while fundamental credit performance, including delinquencies and LTVs, remained stable across our portfolio.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, positive investment fair value changes reflected improvements in credit performance and spread tightening across our investment portfolio, particularly in our third-party re-performing loan ("RPL") and retained CAFL SFR securities.2022.
Additional detail on our investment fair value changes during 20222023 is included in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows as well as Table 5.6 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Income
The increasedecrease in other income for the three and nine monththree-month periods primarily resulted from higher$3 million of lower income on our MSR investments, which increasedwas partially offset by $3 million and $12 million, respectively. Thean increase in fees and other income from MSRsBusiness Purpose Mortgage Banking. MSR income was primarily due to positive valuationnominally impacted by fair value changes resulting fromin the first quarter of 2023 given the relative rate stability during the quarter, while it benefited significantly in the first quarter of 2022 as the sharp rise in interest rates caused a slowdown in prepayment speeds during 2022 as interest rates rose.speeds.
Additional detail on our other income is presented in Table 21.1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Realized Gains, Net
During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, we realized a $1 million of loss on early extinguishment of securitization debt financing certain of our reperforming loan securities, which was mostly offset by nominal gains on sales and calls of securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we realized gains of zero and $3 million, respectively, primarily resulting from calls associated with third-party available-for-sale ("AFS") securities during the first quarter of 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we realized gains of $7 million and $18 million, respectively, primarily resulting from the call of two and six seasoned Sequoia securitizations respectively.and a gain on sale of model homes.
General and Administrative Expenses
GeneralThe increase in general and administration expenses decreased for the three and nine month periods, primarily due to $16 million and $42 million decreases in variable compensation expense, respectively, associated with the decreases in earnings during the respective periods. Additionally, fixed compensation expense in the second quarter of 2022 included a $2 million benefit from a payroll tax refund relatedthree-month periods, was primarily attributable to a prior year that was realized during the quarter. These decreases were offset by a $1 million increase in costs associated with the acquisition of Riverbend, including $1 million of direct transaction costs incurred over the second and third quarters of 2022, and $2 million of fixedhigher equity compensation costs inexpenses. Additionally, general and administrative expenses for the thirdfirst quarter of 2022 from the addition of Riverbend employees. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2022, we incurred $42023 included approximately $1 million of employee severance and transition-relatedrelated transition expenses.
Additional detail on our General and administrative expenses is presented in Table 22.1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Portfolio Management Costs
The increase in portfolio management costs for the three-month periods, resulted from growth in our investment portfolio. These costs are primarily associated with the management of our BPL bridge loans and also include loan sub-servicing costs.
Loan Acquisition Costs
Loan acquisition costs for our mortgage banking operations decreased $2$3 million for both the three and nine monththree-month periods, as a result of lower loan origination and acquisition volumes in 2022.both of our mortgage banking businesses in 2023.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes is almost entirely related to activity at our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which primarily includes our mortgage banking activities and MSR investments, as well as certain other investment and hedging activities. Losses fromThe decrease in the tax benefit year-over-year was primarily the result of smaller GAAP losses at our mortgage banking operationsTRS during the first nine months of 2022 contributed to a tax benefit during that period. For the third quarter of 2022, a small loss from our mortgage banking operations was more than offset by gains on hedges associated with certain of our investments, resulting2023 versus the same period in a tax provision for the quarter.
During the third quarter of 2021, we realized a $19 million benefit from the release of valuation allowance on a portion of our deferred tax assets contributing to a net tax benefit during that quarter. The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects positive income earned from our mortgage banking operations during that period, partially offset by the benefit from the release of valuation allowance.2022.

Corporate/Other
The increase in net expense from Corporate/Other for the three-month periods was primarily due to a $19 million benefit from taxes in the third quarter of 2021 resulting from the reversal of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, as well as $6$4 million of higher interest expense in the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 resulting from the issuance of new convertible debt in June 2022 and from our trust preferred securities, which are variable rate and were impacted by higher benchmark interest rates. These increases in expenses were offset by $11 million and $20 million decreases in the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, in compensation expense for corporate employees, primarily related to variable compensation, which decreased in association with lower earnings year-over-year.
The decrease in net expense from Corporate/Other for the nine-month periods was primarily due to a $20 million decrease in compensation expense for corporate employees, primarily related to variable compensation, which decreased in association with lower earnings year-over-year, offset both by $8 million of higher interest expense in 2022 and the $19 million benefit from income taxes in 2021 described previously.

Residential Mortgage Banking Segment
Our Residential Mortgage BankingThis segment consists of a mortgage loan conduit that acquires residential loans from third-party originators for subsequent sale to whole loan buyers, securitization through our SequoiaSEMT® (Sequoia) private-label securitization program, or transfer into our investment portfolio. Subordinate securities that we retain from our Sequoia securitizations (many of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) are transferred to and held in our Investment Portfolio segment. We typically acquire prime jumbo mortgages and the related mortgage servicing rights on a flow basis from our extensive network of loan sellers. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale within this segment. This segment’s main source of mortgage banking income is net interest income from its inventory of loans held-for-sale, as well as income from mortgage banking activities, which includes valuation increases (or gains) on loans we acquire and subsequently sell, securitize, or transfer into our investment portfolio, and the hedges used to manage risks associated with these activities. Direct operating expenses and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.
Net income from this segment is primarily comprised of net interest income earned on loans while they are held in inventory, mortgage banking activities income (including mark-to-market adjustments on loans from the time they are purchased to when they are sold or securitized, mark-to-market adjustments on new and outstanding loan purchase commitments and gains/losses from associated hedges), and all direct expenses associated with these activities. Subordinate securities that we retain from our Sequoia securitizations (many of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) are transferred to and held in our Investment Portfolio segment.
The following table provides the activity of residential loans held in inventory for sale at our mortgage banking business during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, approximately 80%68% of locked loans were purchase-money loans and 20%32% were refinancings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we distributed $612$29 million and $3.68 billion of loans (unpaid principal balance) through whole loan sales, respectively.sales. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we completed one securitizationtwo securitizations backed by $687$657 million of loans (unpaid principal balance).
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had total net jumbo loan exposure of $712$70 million, (down 5% from June 30, 2022), with an average gross mortgage rate of 5%6.68%. This balance included $703$28 million (principal value) of loans in inventory on our balance sheet, $146and $47 million of loans identified for purchase (locked loans, unadjusted for fallout), and $137less $4 million of forward sale agreements for loans. Given current market conditions, we reduced our capital allocation to Residential Mortgage Banking to $150$15 million at the end of the thirdfirst quarter, of 2022, down from $200$100 million at the end of the secondfourth quarter of 2022. As we look ahead, we expect conditions in the consumer residential sector to remain challenging for a number of quartersin the near term as industry volumes continue to be affected by rapidly increasingelevated mortgage rates, which, along with record home price appreciationbut we see opportunities over the intermediate to long term to significantly increase our share of volume given that regional banks represented nearly 30% of jumbo origination volume in 2023, and we expect them to curb forward volume given recent years, has pushed housing affordabilitydisruptions in the banking sector. As a result, we would anticipate increasing our capital allocated to Residential Mortgage Banking over the coming quarters as these new lows.

Residential mortgage banking income presented in the table above is comprised of net interest income from residential loans held-for-sale in inventory and mortgage banking activities,non-interest income, net from this segment (see Note 20 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on the composition of mortgage banking activities, net). Operating expenses presented in the table above includes general and administrative expenses, loan acquisition costs and other expenses for this segment.
The decrease in contribution from our residential mortgage banking operations during the three- and nine-monththree-month periods was primarily attributable to lower mortgage banking activities income resulting from lower loan acquisition volume year-over-year, as well as lower (negative) net interest margin in the first quarter of 2023 given the fixed mortgage rates on our inventory were below our borrowing costs, given the inverted yield curve, each as discussed in the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A. While margins improved in the third quarter of 2022, a re-widening of credit spreads or further rate volatility could continue to negatively impact our margins and profitability. TheThese decreases in mortgage banking income were partially offset by lower general and administrativeoperating expenses, which declined duringas we decreased headcount in this segment over the three- and nine-month periods, primarily duepast two quarters to align with current market conditions, as well as lower variable compensation expenses.loan acquisition costs, given the decrease in volume year-over-year.
Activity at this segment is performed within our taxable REIT subsidiary and subject to federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes for the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 was due to an overall GAAP loss incurred at our TRS during that period.

Business Purpose Mortgage Banking Segment
Our Business Purpose Mortgage BankingThis segment consists of a platform that originates and acquires business purpose lending ("BPL") loans (consisting of SFR loans and bridge loans) for subsequent securitization, sale, to whole loan buyers, or transfer into our investment portfolio. SFRBusiness purpose loans are business purpose mortgage loans to investors in single-family rental and multifamily properties, which we classify as either "term" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range from 3 to 30 years) or "bridge" loans (which include loans with maturities that generally range between 12 and 36 months). Term loans are mortgage loans secured by residential real estate (primarily 1-4 unit) rental properties. Bridgeunit detached or multifamily) that the borrower owns as an investment property and rents to residential tenants. BPL bridge loans are business purpose mortgage loans to investors rehabilitatingwhich are generally secured by unoccupied (or in the case of certain multifamily properties, partially occupied) residential or multifamily real estate that the borrower owns as an investment and subsequently resellingthat is being renovated, rehabilitated or renting residential and multifamily properties.constructed. We typically originate SFR loans and distribute most of our SFRterm loans through our CAFL® private-label securitization program, or through whole loan sales, and on occasion,typically transfer our BPL bridge loans to our Investment Portfolio, where they will either be retained for investment or securitized, or will sell them as whole loans. We originate and acquire bridge loans and typically transfer these loans into our Investment Portfolio where they will be retained for investment; on occasion, we may sell them as whole loans. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of SFR loans held-for-sale.
Net This segment’s main sources of mortgage banking income from this segment is primarily comprised ofare net interest income earned on loans while they are held in inventory, mortgage banking activities income (includingorigination and other fees on loans, mark-to-market adjustments on loans from the time theyloans are originated or purchased to when they are sold, securitized or transferred into our investment portfolio, fee income earned on originations, and gains/losses from associated hedges),hedges. Direct operating expenses and all directtax expenses associated with these activities. Subordinate securities that we retain from our CAFL securitizations (which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) and bridge loans we originateactivities are also included in this segment are transferred to and held in our Investment Portfolio segment.

SFR loan fundings forDuring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included zeroMarch 31, 2023, we funded $438 million of BPL loans (60% bridge and $10040% term) and sold $230 million of loans acquiredto third-parties through whole loan sales. Volumes remained steady from third parties, respectively. Bridge loan fundings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included zero and $22 million of loans acquired from third parties, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we acquired $60 million of bridge loans with our acquisition of Riverbend on July 1, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we completed two business purpose loan securitizations backed by $588 million of SFR loans, including a private securitization of $274 million of loans in the third quarter with a large global institutional investor. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we completed one business purpose loan securitization backed by approximately $250 million of bridge loans that includes a 24-month revolving feature. At September 30, 2022, we had $281 million of SFR loans and $56 million of bridge loans in inventory on our balance sheet.
During the thirdfourth quarter of 2022, given ongoing investor demand for CoreVest’s suite of products. Overall profitability in the decline in overall volume was predominantly in our SFR product, as borrowers continue in this higher rate environment to prefer short-term fully prepayable bridge loans, for which demand remains elevated (driven by multifamily product). Given current market conditions, we reduced our capital allocation to Business PurposeBPL Mortgage Banking segment improved in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $100 million at the end of the thirdfourth quarter of 2022, down from $150 million at the end of the second quarter of 2022 (excluding capital associated with goodwill and intangibles). While the fourth quarter has historically been a very busy one for BPL originations – with sponsors often seeking to complete transactions by year-end – we would expect the recent slowdown in lending activity to continue in some capacity, as transaction flow ebbs and borrowers not facing near-term maturities wait for more favorable conditions.distribution channels reopened.
We utilize a combination of capital and loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of business purpose loans that we hold for sale. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had business purpose warehouse facilities outstanding with sixfive different counterparties, with $3.00$3.24 billion of total capacity (used for both SFR and bridge loans) and $1.66$1.73 billion of available capacity (inclusive of capacity on non-recourse facilities). All of these facilities are non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent).

Operating expenses presented in the table above includes general and administrative expenses, loan acquisition costs and other expenses for this segment.
The decreaseincrease in contribution from our business purpose mortgage banking operations during the three and nine monththree-month periods was primarily attributable to lowerhigher mortgage banking income during the first quarter of 2023, as discussed in the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A, as well as lower loan acquisition costs, given the decrease in volume year-over-year. These increases were partially offset by higher General and higher operatingAdministrative expenses. While margins stabilized during the third quarter of 2022, mortgage banking income year-to-date was negatively impacted by severe credit spread widening in the first half 2022 and remains challenged given current market conditions. Continued rate volatility or a further widening of spreads would continue to impact our margins and profitability at this business.
General and administrative expenses increased during the three- and nine-monththree-month periods, as lower variable compensation expenses were offset by higher fixed compensation and other costs associated with an increased headcount during 2022, in particularthey decreased over 25% from the addition of employees from the Riverbend acquisition. Additionally, in the third quarter we incurred $4 million of employee severance2022, as a result of reductions in headcount and transition-related expenses at this segment.other cost saving initiatives implemented over the last two quarters.
Activity at this segment is performed within our taxable REIT subsidiary and subject to federal and state income taxes. The benefit from income taxes during each of the three- and nine-monththree-month periods in 2022 was due to an overall GAAP loss incurred at our TRS during those periods.

The decrease in contribution from the Investment Portfolio during the three- and nine-monththree-month periods was primarily attributable to negative investment fair value changes,lower net interest income, as discussed in the preceding Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

The decreases were partially offset by higher net interest income and other income during the three- and nine-month periods, eachsmaller negative investment fair value changes, as discussed in the Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A.
The increase in net interest income from our Investment Portfolio during the nine-month periods primarily resulted from an increase in the average balance of investments in that period in 2022 as we deployed capital into new investments, including primarily into business purpose bridge loans. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, included yield maintenance income (triggered by prepayments) received on retained SFR securities of $8 million in the first quarter of 2022, $4 million in the second quarter of 2022, and $3 million in the third quarter of 2022. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2022, we recorded $8 million of discount accretion for AFS securities, much of which was associated with securities we expected to be called given high prepayment speeds experienced during 2021. As a result of interest rate increases, early in 2022 we changed our assumptions for expected call dates for certain available-for-sale securities and discount accretion income from these securities declined, resulting in $1 million of discount accretion in both the second and third quarters of 2022. Net interest income from the investment portfolio was also impacted by higher borrowing costs in 2022, driven primarily by rising benchmark interest rates. While the majority of the floating-rate debt utilized within our investment portfolio finances floating-rate assets, we do have some exposure to rising interest rates and further increases in benchmark interest rates or borrowing spreads could negatively impact our net interest income. Additionally, to the extent market interest rates remain elevated and we refinance fixed-rate debt that matures in the near-term, our interest costs could increase and negatively impact our net interest income.
Investment fair value changes, net is primarily comprised of the change in fair value (both realized and unrealized) of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option and hedges associated with these investments. See Table 5.6 in Note 5 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on the composition of investment fair value changes (the difference in amounts in the table above and in Table 5.6 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements relates to fair value changes for investments held at corporate/other). The negativeAcross the investment portfolio, valuation changes were more muted compared to recent quarters, as credit spreads remained relatively stable compared to the prior year-end, and our portfolio overall continued to demonstrate stable credit fundamentals driven by underlying loan seasoning, low delinquencies and embedded growth in home prices and rents. During the first quarter of 2023, the $9 million decrease in fair value changes in the first nine months of 2022 were predominantly unrealized and resulted primarily from credit spread widening across many of our investments. Rising interest rates and slower actual and expected prepayment speeds resultedinvestment in positive fair value changes for our interest-onlyCAFL term securities and hedges allocated to our investment portfolio, which partially offset the negative fair value changes. Additionally,was primarily driven by a credit improvements in several of our investments including, in particular, ourevent on a single asset underlying a retained CAFL SFR securities and bridge loans positively impacted fair values for those assets.bond. While our investments generally continue to experience stable credit performance, further spread widening, a deterioration in credit, or declines in home price appreciation could result in additional negative investment fair value changes for our investments.

Other income, net within this segment is primarily comprised of income (loss) from our MSR investments, bridge loan extension fees,fees, and risk share investment income. Details on the composition of Other income, net are included in Note 21 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Realized gains, net generally result from sales or calls of available-for-sale securities we own. Refer to the analysis of this line item in the Consolidated Results of Operations section of this MD&A for an explanation of activity during 2022. 2023.
Operating expenses at this segment are primarily attributable to compensation expenses and decreased overallportfolio management costs, which increased $2 million during the three and nine monththree-month periods, as decreasesin-line with an increase in variable compensation were partially offset by higher fixed compensation costs resulting from higher headcount in 2022. portfolio investments under management year-over-year. We hold certain of our investments, primarily our MSRs, at our taxable REIT subsidiary. Our Provision for income taxes at this segment is primarily driven by the amount of income earned from portfolio assets as well as from gains or losses from hedges held at the TRS and, for 2022,2023, reflects positive net income earned from investment portfolio activities at our taxable REIT subsidiary.

(1)Investment thickness represents the average size of the subordinate securities we own as investments in securitizations, relative to the average overall size of the securitizations. For example, if our investment thickness (of first-loss securities) with respect to a particular securitization is 10%, we have exposure to the first 10% of credit losses resulting from loans underlying that securitization. We generally own first loss positions in Sequoia, RPL and CAFL securities. We own both first loss and mezzanine positions (positions credit enhanced by subordinate securities) in multifamily and other third-party securities.
We primarily target investments that have a sensitivity to housing credit risk, typically sourced through our operating businesses where we control the underwriting and review of underlying collateral. During the first ninethree months of 2022,2023, our investment portfolio continued to demonstrate strong performance across a range of credit metrics, includingstable fundamentals, driven by underlying loan seasoning, low 90+ day delinquencies which generally remained stable, and loan-to-value ratios (LTVs), which continued to decline or remain stable.embedded growth in home prices and rents. Given the seasoned nature of our investments (particularly within our RPL securities and Sequoia securities), many of these investments are supported by substantial home price appreciation and borrower equity in the underlying homes.
While 90+ day delinquencies have generally remained stable over the last several quarters for the BPL term loans underlying our consolidated CAFL securities, over the last two quarters we have experienced elevated levels of 30+ and 60+ day delinquencies, particularly for loans backed by multifamily properties. While we continue to work with borrowers to resolve issues and amend loans as appropriate, these trends could lead to an increase in serious delinquencies that could ultimately result in increased credit losses and a decrease in the fair value of our CAFL securities.

Our $1.90$2.10 billion of BPL bridge loans held-for-investment and $56 million of bridge loans held-for-sale at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were comprised of first-lien, interest-only loans with a weighted average coupon of 8.05%10.24% and original maturities of six to 36 months. At origination, the weighted average FICO score of borrowers backing these loans was 743 and the weighted average LTV ratio of these loans was 66%65%. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, of the 3,5793,220 loans in this portfolio, 4992 of these loans with an aggregate fair value of $31 million and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $33 million were in foreclosure and 98 loans with an aggregate fair value of $38 million and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $41$37 million were in foreclosure and 94 loans with an aggregate fair value of $42 million and an unpaid principal balance of $37 million were 90-or-more days delinquent (certain loans in foreclosure were also at least 90 days delinquent).
We finance our BPL bridge loans with a combination of recourse, non-marginable warehouse facilities, non-recourse, non-marginable warehouse facilities, and non-recourse securitization debt. During the second quarter of 2022, we completed our second bridge loan securitization. This bridge loan securitization included a 24-month revolving feature that allows us to add additional loans as loans within the structure pay down. The two bridge securitization structures have $550 million of total capacity. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had: $524$494 million of debt incurred through short-term warehouse facilities with fourthree counterparties, which was secured by $703$676 million of business purpose bridge loans; $565$732 million of debt incurred through long-term facilities with two different counterparties, which was secured by $700$922 million of business purpose bridge loans; and $485 million of securitization debt secured by $512$486 million of business purpose bridge loans and $16$51 million of restricted cash.

At September 30, 2022, our economic investment in the consolidated HEI securitization entity was $14 million (for GAAP purposes, we consolidated $140 million of HEIs and $105 million of ABS issued, as well as other assets and liabilities for this entity).
Changes in fair value, net for HEIs primarily reflects changes in actual and expected home price appreciation (HPA). While home prices generally increased during the first half of 2022, in the third quarter of 2022, some regions began experiencing home price declines leading to a downward adjustment of our HPA assumptions, which negatively affected HEI valuations. Additional details on our HEIs isare included in Note 10 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Income Taxes
Taxable Income, REIT Status and Dividend Characterization
As a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code, Redwood is required to distribute to shareholders at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and meet certain other requirements that relate to, among other matters, the assets it holds, the income it generates, and the composition of its stockholders. To the extent Redwood retains REIT taxable income, including net capital gains, it is taxed at corporate tax rates. Redwood also earns taxable income at its taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS), which it is not required to distribute under the Internal Revenue Code.
In September 2022,March 2023, our Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.23 per common share and $0.60147 per Series A preferred share for the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023, which waswere paid on September 30, 2022 to shareholders of record on September 23, 2022.March 31, 2023 and April 17, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our year-to-date dividend distributions of $0.69 per share exceeded our minimum distribution requirements and we believe that we have met all requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Many requirements for qualification as a REIT are complex and require analysis of particular facts and circumstances. Often there is only limited judicial or administrative interpretive guidance and as such there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or courts would agree with our various tax positions. If we were to fail to meet all the requirements for qualification as a REIT and the requirements for statutory relief, we would be subject to federal corporate income tax on our taxable income and we would not be able to elect to be taxed as a REIT for four years thereafter. Such an outcome could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
While our minimum REIT dividend requirement is generally 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, we carried a $37 million federal net operating loss carry forward (NOL) into 20222023 at our REIT that affords us the ability to retain REIT taxable income up to the NOL amount, tax free, rather than distributing it as dividends. Federal income tax rules require the dividends paid deduction to be applied to reduce REIT taxable income before the applicability of NOLs is considered; therefore, REIT taxable income must exceed our dividend distribution for us to utilize a portion of our NOL and any remaining NOL amount will carry forward into future years.
94


While the exact amount is uncertain at this time, we currently expect a significant portion of our 20222023 common stock dividend distributions to be taxable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Any remaining amount is currently expected to be characterized as a return of capital, which in general is nontaxable (provided it does not exceed a shareholder's tax basis in Redwood shares) and reduces a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares (but not below zero). To the extent such distributions exceed a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares, such excess amount would be taxable as capital gain. We currently expect all of our 2023 preferred stock dividend distributions to be taxable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Under the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs, none of Redwood’s 20222023 dividend distributions are currently expected to be characterized as long-term capital gain dividends. The income or loss generated at our TRS will not directly affect the tax characterization of our 2022 dividends; however, any dividends paid from our TRS to our REIT would allow a portion of our REIT’s dividends to be classified as qualified dividends.
Tax Provision under GAAP
For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded a tax provisionbenefits of $1 million and a tax benefit of $10 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded tax benefit of $4 million and a tax provision of $14$2 million, respectively. Our tax provision is primarily derived from the activities at our TRS as we do not book a material tax provision associated with income generated at our REIT. ForThe decrease in the nine-month periods, the switch to a tax benefit from a tax provision year-over-year was primarily the result of a smaller GAAP income being recorded at our TRS during this periodloss in 2021 versus GAAP losses being recorded at our TRS during this period in2023 compared to 2022. For the three-month periods, while GAAP income was earned at the TRS during both periods, the switch to a tax provision from a tax benefit year-over-year was due to the release of valuation allowance on a portion of our deferred tax assets in 2021.
Realization of our deferred tax assets ("DTAs") is dependent on many factors, including generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of NOL carryforwards (where applicable) and generating sufficient capital gains in future periods prior to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards. ToWe determine the extent we determine itto which realization of our DTAs is more likely than not that we will not be able to realize a deferred tax asset, weassured and establish a valuation allowance accordingly. At December 31, 2021,2022, we reported net federal ordinary and capital DTAs with no material valuation allowance recorded against them. As we experienced GAAP losses in 2022 and during the three months ended March 31, 2023 at our TRS, we closely analyzed the realizability of our net deferred tax assets in whole and in part. We evaluate our deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is "more likely than not" that some portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods. We conduct our evaluation by considering, among other things, all available positive and negative evidence, historical operating results and cumulative earnings analysis, forecasts of future profitability, and the duration of statutory carryforward periods. Based on this analysis, we continue to believe it is more likely than not that we will realize all of our federal deferred tax assets;assets in future periods as income is earned at our TRS; therefore, there continues to be no material valuation allowance recorded against our net federal DTAs. As we have experienced year-to-date GAAP losses at our TRS, we are continuing to monitor our estimate ofThis evaluation requires significant judgment in assessing the realizability of our net deferred tax assets and will reassess thepossible need for a valuation allowance and changes to our assumptions could result in wholea material change in the valuation allowance with a corresponding impact on the provision for income taxes in the period including such change.
If in a future period, based on available evidence, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that our DTAs will be realized, then a valuation allowance would be established with a corresponding charge to GAAP earnings, which would reduce our book value. Such charges could cause a material reduction, up to the full value of our net DTAs for which a valuation allowance has not previously been established, to our GAAP earnings and book value per share for the quarterly and annual periods in which they are established and could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial results, or in part, in future periods.liquidity.
Consistent with prior periods, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance against the majority of our net state DTAs as realization of our state DTAs is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the same jurisdictions in which the DTAs exist and we project most of our state DTAs will expire prior to their utilization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Summary
In addition to the proceeds from equity and debt capital-raising transactions, our principal sources of cash and liquidity consist of borrowings under mortgage loan warehouse facilities, secured term financing facilities, securities repurchase agreements, payments of principal and interest we receive from our investment portfolio assets, proceeds from the sale of investment portfolio assets, and cash generated from our operating activities. Our most significant uses of cash are to purchase and originate mortgage loans for our mortgage banking operations and manage hedges associated with those activities, to purchase investment securities and make other investments, to repay principal and interest on our debt, to meet margin calls associated with our debt and other obligations, to make dividend payments on our capital stock, and to fund our operations.
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our total capital was $2.02$1.97 billion and included $1.15$1.14 billion of equity capital and $863$832 million of convertible notes and long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet, including $199$144 million of convertible debt due in 2023, $150 million of convertible debt due in 2024, $172$162 million of exchangeable debt due in 2025, $215 million of convertible debt due in 2027 and $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037.
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our unrestricted cash was $297 million, and we estimate we had approximately $160 million of available capital.$404 million. While we believe our available cash is sufficient to fund our operations, we may raise equity or debt capital from time to time to increase our unrestricted cash and liquidity, to repay existing debt, to make long-term portfolio investments, to fund strategic acquisitions and investments, or for other purposes. To the extent we seek to raise additional capital, our approach will continue to be based on what we believe to be in the best interests of the company.
In the discussion that follows and throughout this document, we distinguish between marginable and non-marginable debt. When we refer to non-marginable debt and marginable debt, we are referring to whether or not such debt is subject to margin calls based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent. If a mortgage loan is financed under a marginable warehouse facility, to the extent the market value of the loan declines (which market value is determined by the counterparty under the facility), we will be subject to a margin call, meaning we will be required to either immediately reacquire the loan or meet a margin requirement to pledge additional collateral, such as cash or additional mortgage loans, in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. Non-marginable debt may be subject to a margin call due to delinquency or another credit event related to the mortgage or security being financed, a decline in the value of the underlying asset securing the collateral, an extended dwell time (i.e., period of time financed using a particular financing facility) for certain types of loans, or a change in the interest rate of a specified reference security relative to a base interest rate amount. For example, we could be subject to a margin call on non-marginable debt if an appraisal or broker price opinion indicates a decline in the estimated value of the property securing the mortgage loan that is financed by us under a loan warehouse facility, or based onfollowing the occurrence of a triggering credit event impacting the financed collateral which is followed bymortgage loan based on a decline in the market value of the financed collateralmortgage loan (as determined by the lender).
We also distinguish between recourse and non-recourse debt. When we refer to non-recourse debt, we mean debt that is payable solely from the assets pledged to secure such debt, and under which debt no creditor or lender has direct or indirect recourse to us or any other entity or person (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"), if such assets are inadequate or unavailable to pay off such debt.
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, in aggregate, we had $2.86$2.43 billion of secured recourse debt outstanding, financing our mortgage banking and investment portfolio, of which $480$380 million was marginable and $2.38$2.05 billion was non-marginable.
We are subject to risks relating to our liquidity and capital resources, including risks relating to incurring debt under loan warehouse facilities, securities repurchase facilities, and other short- and long-term debt facilities and other risks relating to our use of derivatives. A further discussion of these risks is set forth below under the heading “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short-and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities."

Repurchase Authorization
During the third quarter ofIn July 2022, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of up to $125 million of our common stock, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. Under thisThis authorization shares or securities may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This common stock repurchase authorization replaced the $100 million common stock repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors in 2018, has no time limit, may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time,expiration date and does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. The Board of Directors also continued its previous authorization for the repurchase of outstanding debt securities. Like other investments we may make, any repurchases of our common stock or debt securities under this authorization would reduce our available capital and unrestricted cash described above.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we repurchased 3.4 million and 7.1 milliondid not repurchase any shares of our common stock for $24under this program, and separately repurchased $33 million and $56 million, respectively.of Redwood's convertible debt due in August 2023. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, $101 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, and through November 4, 2022, we repurchased $3 million of our convertible notes due in August 2023.

Cash Flows and Liquidity for the NineThree Months Ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023
Cash flows from our mortgage banking activities and our investments can be volatile from quarter to quarter depending on many factors, including the profitability of mortgage banking activities, the timing and amount of securities acquisitions, sales and repayments, as well as changes in interest rates, prepayments, and credit losses. Therefore, cash flows generated in the current period are not necessarily reflective of the long-term cash flows we will receive from these investments or activities.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows fromDuring the three months ended March 31, 2023, our net cash provided by operating activities were negative $129 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.was $102 million. This amount includes the net cash utilized during the period from the purchase and sale of residential mortgage loans and the origination and sale of our business purpose loans associated with our mortgage banking activities. Purchases of loans are financed to a large extent with short-term and long-term debt, for which changes in cash are included as a component of financing activities. During the first ninethree months of 2022,2023, excluding cash flows from the purchase, origination, sale, principal payments of loans classified as held-for-sale and the settlement of associated derivatives (which cumulatively totaled $218 million)$117 million of net cash outflows), cash flows from operating activities were positive $88$14 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our net cash provided by investing activities was $169$111 million and primarily resulted from proceeds from principal payments on loans held-for-investment securities and other investment in excess of cash deployed tointo these investments. Because many of our investment securities, loans and loansHEI are financed through various borrowing agreements, a significant portion of the proceeds from any sales or principal payments of these assets are generally used to repay balances under these financing sources. Similarly, all or a significant portion of cash flows from principal payments of loans and HEI at consolidated securitization entities would generally be used to repay ABS issued by those entities.
Although we generally intend to hold our loans and investment securities as long-term investments, we may sell certain of these assets in order to manage our liquidity needsneeds and interest rate risk,, to meet other operating objectives, and to adapt to market conditions.
As presented in the "Supplemental Noncash Information" subsection of our consolidated statements of cash flows, during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we transferred loans between held-for-sale and held-for-investment classification, and long-term debt to short-term debt, which represent significant non-cash transactions that were not included in cash flows from investing activities.

101


Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our net cash provided byused in financing activities was $202$52 million. This primarily resulted from $414 million of net long-termrepayments of short-term debt borrowings, of $787 million, which included the issuance of $215 million of convertible debt in June 2022, as well as $132partially offset by $327 million of net borrowings under ABS issued, includingin each case resulting from the issuance of CAFL SFR, CAFL bridge andtwo Sequoia ABS securitizations, which included a combined $657 million of residential loans. Additionally, during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022. These amounts were partially offset by $1.04 billion of net paydowns on short-term borrowings, resulting primarily from a reduction in financed loan inventory at our mortgage banking operations through September 30, 2022, as well as the payment of our threeMarch 31, 2023, we paid regular quarterly dividends totaling $85 million.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we declared and paid dividends on our common stock of $0.69$0.23 per common share. On September 13, 2022,March 14, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.23 per share for the thirdfirst quarter of 2022,2023, which was paid on September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 to shareholders of record on September 23, 2022.March 24, 2023. Additionally, on March 31, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarter dividend of $0.60417 per share of preferred stock, payable on April 17, 2023 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2023.
In accordance with the terms of our outstanding deferred stock units, cash-settled deferred stock units, and restricted stock units, which are generally long-term compensation awards, each time we declare and pay a dividend on our common stock, we are required to make a dividend equivalent cash payment in that same per share amount on each outstanding deferred stock unit, cash-settled deferred stock unit, and restricted stock unit.

Material Cash Requirements
In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions that may require future cash payments. As required by GAAP, some of these obligations are recorded on the balance sheet, while others are off-balance sheet or recorded on the balance sheet in amounts different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction.
Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations during the twelve months following September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, include maturing short-term debt, interest payments on short-term and long-term debt, payments on operating leases, andother current payables, funding commitments for BPL bridge loans and under HEI flow purchase agreements.agreements and other current payables. Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations beyond the twelve months following September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, include maturing long-term debt, interest payments on long-term debt, payments on operating leases and funding commitments for BPL bridge loans and under HEI flow purchase agreements.agreements, and payments under ABS issued (as described further below under Liquidity Needs for our Investment Portfolio).
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had commitments to fund up to $990$811 million of additional advances on existing bridge loans. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the borrower and other terms regarding advances that must be met before we fund the commitment (e.g. funding is dependent on actual progress on a project and we retain the option to conduct due diligence with respect to each draw request to confirm conditions have been met). Approximately $650 million68% of the commitments are for longer-term build-for-rent loans (which generally have funding caps below their full commitment amount) and are expected to fund over the next eight quarters. Additionally, at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $1.66$1.73 billion of available warehouse capacity for business purpose loans and the majoritywe have an average of our $1.96 billion balance$200 million of quarterly bridge loans outstanding maturesloan maturities over the next 12 to 24 months,10 quarters, which will provide an additional source of cash that can be used to fund our commitments.
At September 30, 2022, Additionally, at March 31, 2023, we had $8 million of outstanding HEI purchase commitments under flow purchase agreements with multiple third parties, with an aggregate commitment to purchase $350 million of HEIs, $149 million of which commitments remained outstanding. These purchase agreements specify monthly minimum and maximum amounts of HEIs subject to such purchase commitments. We may terminate the purchase agreement and associated purchase commitment relating to $85 million of remaining commitments upon 90 days prior notice. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we entered into a repurchase agreement providing financing for HEIs. The committed amount and maximum borrowing limit under the facility is $150 million and the facility has a one-year term. As of the date of this report, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility.parties.
For additional information regarding our material cash requirements, see Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 under the caption Contractual Obligations. For additional information on commitments and contingencies as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 that could impact our liquidity and capital resources, see Note 17 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which supplements the disclosures included in Note 16 to the Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Several of our loan warehouse facilities were established with initial one-year terms and are regularly amended on an annual basis to extend the terms for an additional year ahead of their maturity. We renewed several of these facilities in the first ninethree months of 20222023 and have other such facilities with scheduled maturities during the next twelve months. While there is no assurance of our ability to renew these facilities, given current market conditions we would expect to extend these in the normal course of business.
Two series of our convertible notes are maturing during the 16 months following March 31, 2023. Historically, we have issued new convertible debt in part to refinance convertible debt that was maturing. However, given current market rates for unsecured corporate capital, which we find to be economically unattractive, we currently expect to repay our convertible notes maturing in August of 2023 with cash on hand. To the extent we do not choose to or cannot issue new unsecured corporate capital due to adverse market conditions going forward, we will need to utilize cash on hand to repay our convertible debt that is maturing, which will reduce the amount cash that can be deployed into our business and could reduce the earnings potential of our business. Further, if market rates for unsecured corporate capital remain elevated and we choose to issue new unsecured corporate capital, it could negatively impact our profitability.
We expect to meet our obligations coming due in less than one year from September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, through a combination of cash on hand, payments of principal and interest we receive from our investment portfolio assets, proceeds from the sale of investment portfolio assets, cash generated from our operating activities, or incremental borrowings under existing, new or amended financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had approximately $500$227 million of pledgeable and unencumbered assets.
During the first ninethree months of 2022,2023, the highest balance of our short-term debt outstanding was $2.39$2.03 billion. See Note 14 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our short-term debt. See Note 1516 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our long-term debt.
Liquidity Needs for our Mortgage Banking Activities
We generally use loan warehouse facilities to finance the residential loans we acquire and the business purpose loans we originate or acquire in our mortgage banking operations while we aggregate the loans for sale or securitization. These facilities may be designated as short-term or long-term for financial reporting purposes, depending on the remaining maturity of the facility or the amount of time individual borrowings may remain outstanding on a facility.

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had residential warehouse facilities outstanding with ninesix different counterparties, with $2.85$1.75 billion of total capacity and $2.10$1.72 billion of available capacity. These included non-marginable facilities with $1.38$1.00 billion of total capacity and marginable facilities with $1.48$0.75 billion of total capacity.
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had business purpose warehouse facilities outstanding with sixseven different counterparties, with $3$3.24 billion of total capacity and $1.66$1.73 billion of available capacity. All of these BPL financing facilities are non-marginable. We note that several of these facilities used to finance our business purpose mortgage banking loan inventory are also used to finance bridge loans held in our investment portfolio.
Several of these facilities have variable interest rates based on LIBOR or SOFR benchmarks and recent policy statements from the Federal Reserve indicate the likelihood of further increases in the federal funds rate, which would result in higher benchmark rates and interest costs for us under certain of our debt facilities.
As discussed above, several of the facilities we use to finance our mortgage banking loan inventory are short-term in nature and will require renewals. Additionally, because several of our warehouse facilities are uncommitted, at any given time we may not be able to obtain additional financing under them when we need it, exposing us to, among other things, liquidity risks. Additional information regarding risks related to the debt we use to finance our mortgage banking operations can be found under the heading "Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities" that follows within this section.
Liquidity Needs for our Investment Portfolio
We use various forms of secured recourse and non-recourse debt to finance assets in our investment portfolio. We distinguish our debt between recourse and non-recourse, as our non-recourse debt is mostly comprised of ABS issued, which has unique characteristics that differentiate it in important ways from our recourse debt. When we refer to non-recourse debt, we mean debt that is payable solely from the assets pledged to secure such debt, and under which debt no creditor or lender has direct or indirect recourse to us, or any other entity or person (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"), if such assets are inadequate or unavailable to pay off such debt.
Our ABS issued is non-recourse and represents debt of securitization entities that we consolidate for GAAP reporting purposes. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained from these entities (typically subordinate securities and interest only securities). Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. As the debt issued by these entities is not a direct obligation of Redwood, and since the debt generally can remain outstanding for the full term of the loans it is financing within each securitization, this debt effectively provides permanent financing for these assets. See Notes 4 and 15, respectively, in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information on our principles of consolidation and our asset-backed securities issued.
Separately,Additionally, we usehave non-recourse debt in the form of non-marginable termwarehouse facilities to finance a portion of our business purpose bridge loan portfolio. While this debt is non-recourse to Redwood, it does have fixed terms with prepayment options that allows us to refinance this debt or ultimately repay it upon maturity.
The remainder of the debt we use to finance our investments is recourse debt.debt, including our long-term subordinate securities financing facilities, BPL financing facility and MSR financing facility, as well as our short-term securities repo borrowings and HEI warehouse facility. For securities we have financed, the majority of our long-term financing facilities are non-marginable and our repo debt MSR facility (which also finances certificated MSRs) is in the form of recourse non-marginable secured term debt, with the smaller remaining amount being marginable securities repurchase debt. Additionally, a portion of our business purpose bridge loan portfolio is financed with recourse non-marginable secured term debt.marginable. Our BPL financing facilities and HEI warehouse facility are non-marginable.
103


We use a balanced combination of fixed and floating rate debt to finance our fixed and floating rate investments. Recent policy statements from the Federal Reserve indicate the likelihood of further increases in the federal funds rate, which if enacted could result in lower net interest income to the extent our variable rate assets and liabilities are not aligned. Additionally, to the extent interest rates remain elevated or increase further, certain fixed-rate term borrowings that mature in the coming quarters could have to be refinanced at higher interest rates, which could cause a reduction in net interest income. Further, each of our three recourse subordinate securities financing facilities have interest rate step-up provisions, under which if we do not repay the facilities by certain specified dates, the interest rates on those facilities will increase (see Note 16 in in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on these provisions).
Corporate CapitalDebt
In addition to secured recourse and non-recourse debt we use specifically in association with our mortgage banking operations and within our investment portfolio, we also use unsecured recourse debt to finance our overall operations. This is generally in the form of convertible debt securities we issue in the public markets and also includes trust preferred securities.securities and promissory notes. See SeeNote 15Notes 14 and 16 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information on our short-term and long-term debt.

Risks Relating to Debt Incurred Under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities
As described above under the heading “Results of Operations,” in the ordinary course of our business, we use debt financing obtained through several different types of borrowing facilities to, among other things, finance the acquisition and/or origination of residential and business purpose mortgage loans (including those we acquire or originate in anticipation of sale or securitization), and finance investments in securities and other investments. We may also use short- and long-term borrowings to fund other aspects of our business and operations, including the repurchase of shares of our common stock. Recourse debt incurred under these facilities is generally either the direct obligation of Redwood Trust, Inc., or the direct obligation of subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. and guaranteed by Redwood Trust, Inc. Risks relating to debt incurred under these facilities are described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, under the caption(s) “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities,” and “Our use of financial leverage exposes us to increased risks, including liquidity risks from margin calls and potential breaches of the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities, which could result in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements.”
Our sources of debt financing include secured borrowings under residential and business purpose mortgage loan warehouse facilities (including recourse and non-recourse warehouse facilities), short-term securities repurchase facilities, a $10 million committed line of short-term secured credit from a bank, short-term servicer advance financing, a secured, revolving debt facility collateralized by mortgage servicing rights, and subordinate securities financing facilities.

Aggregate borrowing limits are stated under certain of these facilities, and certain other facilities have no stated borrowing limit, but many of the facilities are uncommitted, which means that any request we make to borrow funds under these uncommitted facilities may be declined by the lender for any reason, even if at the time of the borrowing request we have then-outstanding borrowings that are less than the borrowing limits under these facilities. In general, financing under these facilities is obtained by transferring or pledging mortgage loans or securities to the counterparty in exchange for cash proceeds (in an amount less than 100% of the principal amount of the transferred or pledged assets).
Under many of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities and our short-term securities repurchase facilities, while transferred or pledged assets are financed under the facility, to the extent the value of the assets, or the collateral underlying those assets, declines, we are generally required to either immediately reacquire the assets or meet a margin requirement to transfer or pledge additional assets or cash in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. We refer to borrowing facilities with margin call provisions based solely on the lender's determination, in its discretion, of changes in the market value of transferred or pledged assets, as marginable debt. Borrowing facilities that we refer to as non-marginable debt may be subject to a margin call due to delinquency or another credit event related to the mortgage or security being financed, a decline in the value of the underlying asset securing the collateral, or a change in the interest rate of a specified reference security relative to a base interest rate amount. For example, we could be subject to a margin call on non-marginable debt if an appraisal or broker price opinion indicates a decline in the estimated value of the property securing the mortgage loan that is financed by us under a loan warehouse facility, or based on the occurrence of a triggering credit event impacting the financed collateral which is followed by a decline in the market value of the financed collateral (as determined by the lender), in which case the creditor may demand that we transfer additional collateral to the creditor (in the form of cash, U.S. Treasury obligations (in certain cases), or additional mortgage loans) with a value equal to the amount of the decline. Of our active financing arrangements with outstanding balances at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, only our short-term securities repurchase facilities (with $124$326 million of borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2022)March 31, 2023), and six of our residential mortgage loan warehouse facilities (with $356$26 million of borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2022)March 31, 2023) retain market-value based margin call provisions based solely on the lender's determination of market value and, as such, are considered marginable.

104


Margin call provisions under these facilities are further described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Margin Call Provisions Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.” Financial covenants included in these facilities are further described Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Financial Covenants Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.”

Because many of these borrowing facilities are uncommitted, at any given time we may not be able to obtain additional financing under them when we need it, exposing us to, among other things, liquidity risks of the types described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 under the heading “Market Risks.” In addition, with respect to mortgage loans that at any given time are already being financed through these warehouse facilities, we are exposed to market, credit, liquidity, and other risks of the types described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 2022
100


under the heading “Risk Factors,” and in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 under the heading “Market Risks,” if and when those loans or securities become ineligible to be financed, decline in value, or have been financed for the maximum term permitted under the applicable facility.

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with the financial covenants associated with our short-term debt and other debt financing facilities. In particular, with respect to: (i) financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum dollar amount of stockholders’ equity or tangible net worth at Redwood, at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 our level of stockholders’ equity and tangible net worth resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants by more than $200 million; and (ii) financial covenants that require us to maintain recourse indebtedness below a specified ratio at Redwood, at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 our level of recourse indebtedness resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants at a level such that we could incur more than $5 billion in additional recourse indebtedness.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and the possible effects of changes in estimates on our consolidated financial statements is included in Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We have elected the fair value option of accounting for a significant portion of the assets and some of the liabilities on our balance sheet, and the majority of these assets and liabilities utilize Level 3 valuation inputs, which require a significant level of estimation uncertainty. See Note 5 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information on our assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, including the significant inputs used to estimate their fair values and the impact the changes in their fair values had to our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 5 in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, incorporated herein by reference, for the same information on these assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021.2022. Periodic fluctuations in the values of these assets and liabilities are inherently volatile and thus can lead to significant period-to-period GAAP earnings volatility.
Additional detail on our critical accounting estimates is included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, under the heading "Critical Accounting Estimates."


MARKET AND OTHER RISKS
We seek to manage risks inherent in our business — including but not limited to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, and fair value risk — in a prudent manner designed to enhance our earnings and dividends and preserve our capital. In general, we seek to assume risks that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage such risks, and to maintain capital levels consistent with these risks. Information concerning the risks we are managing, how these risks are changing over time, and potential GAAP earnings and taxable income volatility we may experience as a result of these risks is discussed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022.
In addition to the market risks described above, our business and results of operations are subject to a variety of types of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Information concerning market risk is incorporated herein by reference to Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2022, as supplemented by the information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and “Market Risks” within Item 2 above. Other than the developments described thereunder, including changes in the fair values of our assets, there have been no other material changes in our quantitative or qualitative exposure to market risk since December 31, 2021.2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed on our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
