Redwood Investments(6)
•Segment net income of $22.9 million

◦Net (loss) from Legacy Bridge Loan Investments in the first quarter 2025 increased relative to the fourth quarter 2024, as higher bridge delinquencies resulted in incremental negative fair value changes on certain 2021 and 2022 vintage bridge loans
•Redwood Investments recourse leverage ratio remained low at 1.1x at March 31, 2025(7)
•Accretively deployed approximately $100 million of capital primarily into Retained Operating Investments with target returns of 15% to 20%(8)
Q2 2025 Highlights to Date(9)
•Distributed approximately $520 million of loans across our operating platforms through securitizations, whole loans sales and sales to JVs(10)

"We are pleased to report first quarter results that we believe highlight substantial strategic progress and market share gains across our platforms,” said Christopher Abate, Chief Executive Officer of Redwood. "Our Sequoia business produced its highest lock volumes in three years, CoreVest saw ongoing strength in fundings for smaller balance loans and we successfully launched our expanded Aspire loans to our network of loan sellers. With nearly $2.5 billion of distributions in the first quarter, investor demand for the assets we source continues to grow significantly. In line with this demand, we remain focused on migrating capital towards our operating platforms to execute further on our business plans and grow our earnings profile.”

Abate added, "As previously reported, our businesses have remained strong through April, as we continue to support our partners with our full suite of products while actively safeguarding book value amid market volatility. Looking ahead, we plan to use our solid capital footing to continue providing class-leading service to our origination and sponsor networks, with the objective of further growing market share as the year progresses.”

2.EAD and EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders and GAAP Return on common equity ("GAAP ROE" or "ROE"), respectively. EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity. We believe EAD and EAD ROE provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. Management also believes that EAD and EAD ROE are metrics that can supplement its analysis of the Company’s ability to pay dividends, by providing an indication of the current income generating capacity of the Company's business operations as of the quarter being presented. EAD and EAD ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes.
3.Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts within that same line item on our consolidated statements of income, which primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments (excluding HEI) and associated hedges. As noted above, realized and unrealized gains and losses on our HEI investments are reflected in a separate line item on our consolidated income statements titled "HEI income, net".
4.Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts within that line item on our consolidated statements of income.
5.Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend and CoreVest acquisitions.
6.Tax effect of adjustments represents the hypothetical income taxes associated with all adjustments used to calculate EAD.
7.EAD ROE is calculated by dividing EAD by average common equity for each respective period.

Each of these adjustments to arrive at EAD are the same adjustments used to calculate EAD, as applicable to each segment for which it is being calculated. EAD ROE presents a measure of profitability relative to the amount of capital utilized in the operations of each segment during a period and is calculated by dividing annualized non-GAAP EAD by the average capital utilized by the segment during the period. Management utilizes these measures internally in analyzing each of the Company’s business segments’ Net Income to EAD. See prior page for a further description of how management utilizes EAD and why EAD may assist investors, as well as limitations related to using EAD-based metrics. We caution that EAD and EAD ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as alternatives to GAAP Net Income, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP.
3.Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend and CoreVest acquisitions.
4.Tax effect of adjustments represents the hypothetical income taxes associated with all adjustments used to calculate EAD.
5.EAD ROE is calculated by dividing EAD by average capital utilized for each respective period.

23 Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”) and EAD Return on Equity (“EAD ROE”) EAD and EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders and GAAP return on equity (“GAAP ROE”), respectively. EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity. We believe EAD and EAD ROE provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. Management also believes that EAD and EAD ROE are metrics that can supplement its analysis of the Company’s ability to pay dividends, by providing an indication of the current income generating capacity of the Company's business operations as of the quarter being presented. EAD and EAD ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common shares, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes. Footnotes: 1. Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts within that same line item on our consolidated statements of income, which primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments (excluding HEI) and associated hedges. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on our HEI are reflected in a line item on our consolidated income statements titled “HEI income, net”. 2. Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts within that line item on our consolidated statements of income. 3. Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend, and CoreVest acquisitions. 4. Tax effect of adjustments represent the hypothetical income taxes associated with all adjustments used to calculate EAD. 5. EAD ROE is calculated by dividing EAD by average common equity for each respective period. Non-GAAP Measures


 
24 EAD and EAD Return on Equity (“ROE”) EAD and EAD Return on Equity are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net Income and GAAP Return on Equity, respectively. EAD presents a measure of the profitability of our business operations and is defined as: GAAP Net Income adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. Each of these adjustments to arrive at EAD are the same adjustments used to calculate EAD, as applicable to each segment for which it is being calculated. EAD Return on Equity presents a measure of profitability relative to the amount of capital utilized in the operations of each segment during a period and is calculated by dividing annualized non-GAAP EAD by the average capital utilized by the segment during the period. Management utilizes these measures internally in analyzing each of the Company’s business segments’ net income to EAD. See prior slide for a further description of how management utilizes EAD and why EAD may assist investors, as well as limitations related to using EAD-based metrics. We caution that EAD and EAD Return on Equity should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as alternatives to GAAP Net Income, GAAP Return on Equity or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income from our segments, reconciled to EAD, and the associated GAAP Return on Equity and non-GAAP EAD Return on Equity. (1) See footnotes to table on prior page for a full description of these adjustments. Note: Numbers may not foot due to rounding. Non-GAAP Measures
