Principles of Consolidation

In accordance with GAAP, we determine whether we must consolidate transferred financial assets and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for financial reporting purposes. We currently consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia securitization entities issued prior to 2012 ~~where we maintain an ongoing involvement~~ ("Legacy Sequoia"), ~~as well as~~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 ~~Redwood Choice expanded-prime~~CoreVest single-family rental and bridge loans ("~~Sequoia Choice"~~CAFL"), and beginning in the third quarter of 2021, an entity ("Point HEI") 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 invested in. Finally, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of certain CoreVest American Finance Lender ("CAFL") securitizations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, in connection with our acquisition of CoreVest.have invested. Each securitization entity is independent of Redwood and of each other and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood Trust, Inc. Our exposure to these entities is primarily through the financial interests we have purchased or retained, although for ~~the consolidated Sequoia and CAFL~~certain entities we are exposed to ~~certain~~ 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 Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST entities are shown under Residential loans held-for-investment at fair value, the underlying loans at the consolidated Freddie Mac K-Series entity are shown under Multifamily loans held-for-investment at fair value, ~~and~~ the underlying single-family rental and bridge loans at the consolidated CAFL entities are shown under Business purpose ~~residential~~ loans held-for-investment at fair value, and the underlying HEIs at the consolidated Point HEI entity are shown under Other 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 (loss), we recorded interest income on the loans owned at these entities and interest expense on the ABS issued by these entities as well as fair value changes, other income and expenses associated with these entities' activities. See Note 14 for further discussion on ABS issued.

During the first quarter of 2020, we sold subordinate securities issued by four of these Freddie Mac K-Series securitization trusts and determined that we should derecognize the associated assets and liabilities of each of these entities for financial reporting purposes. We deconsolidated $3.86 billion of multifamily loans and other assets and $3.72 billion of multifamily ABS issued and other liabilities, for which we realized market valuation losses of $72 million, which were recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

We also consolidate 2 partnerships ("Servicing Investment" entities) through which we have invested in servicing-related assets. We maintain an 80% ownership interest in each entity and have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these partnerships.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we consolidated 5 Arches, LLC ("5 Arches"), an originator of business purpose residential loans, pursuant to the exercise of our purchase option and the acquisition of the remaining equity in the company. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we acquired and consolidated CoreVest, an originator and portfolio manager of business purpose residential loans.

See Note 4 for further discussion on principles of consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amounts and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported periods. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. Our estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from our estimates and the differences could be material.

Acquisitions

In May 2018, Redwood acquired a 20% minority interest in 5 Arches, an originator of business purpose residential loans. On March 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 80% interest in 5 Arches. On October 15, 2019, we acquired CoreVest, an originator and portfolio manager of business purpose residential loans. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 for additional information regarding ~~these~~the acquisitions of 5 Arches, LLC ("5 Arches") and CoreVest American Finance Lender, LLC and certain affiliated entities ("CoreVest"), including purchase price allocations.

All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. For both of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded intangible asset amortization expense of $12 million. Estimated future amortization expense is summarized in the table below.

We recorded total goodwill of $89 million in 2019 as a result of the total consideration exceeding the fair value of the net assets acquired from 5 Arches and CoreVest. The goodwill was attributed to the expected business synergies and expansion into business purpose loan markets, as well as access to the knowledgeable and experienced workforces continuing to provide services to the business. We expect $75 million of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. For reporting purposes, we included the intangible assets and goodwill from these acquisitions within the Business Purpose Lending segment.

~~Note 2. Basis of Presentation - (continued)~~

During the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the deterioration in economic conditions caused by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic"), and its impact on our business, including a significant decline in the market price of our common stock, we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our Business Purpose Lending reporting unit was lower than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Based on this analysis, we determined that an interim goodwill impairment test should be performed as of March 31, 2020 and prepared updated cash flow projections for the reporting unit, resulting in a reduction in the long-term forecasts of profitability for our Business Purpose Lending reporting unit as compared to the prior year forecasts. Using these projections, we concluded that the fair value of our Business Purpose Lending reporting unit was less than its carrying value, including goodwill. As a result of this evaluation, we recorded a non-cash $89 million goodwill impairment expense through Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2020. In conjunction with our assessment of goodwill, we also assessed our intangible assets for impairment at March 31, 2020 and determined they were 0t impaired. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators and additionally evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets to determine if revisions to the remaining periods of amortization are warranted. We reviewed our finite-lived intangible assets and determined that the estimated lives were appropriate and that there were no indicators of impairment at September 30, 2021.

~~The~~A liability resulting from the contingent consideration arrangement with 5 Arches was initially recorded in 2019 at its acquisition-date fair value ~~of $25 million~~ as part of total consideration for the acquisition of 5 Arches. ~~These contingent earn-out payments were classified as a contingent consideration liability and carried at fair value prior to March 31, 2020.~~ During the ~~three months ended March 31, 2020,~~first quarter of 2021, we ~~made a cash payment of $11 million and granted $3 million~~distributed 806,068 shares of Redwood common stock and paid $1 million in ~~connection with the first anniversary~~cash in full settlement of the ~~purchase date. Additionally, as a result of an amendment to the agreement, we reclassified the contingent liability to a~~remaining deferred ~~liability, as the remaining payments became payable on a set timetable without any remaining contingencies. At September 30, 2020, the carrying value of~~consideration associated with this deferred liability was $14 million and was recorded as a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.6 million of contingent consideration expense, respectively, through Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income (loss). See ~~Note 16~~ ~~for additional information on our contingent consideration liability.~~

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents Net interest income, Non-interest income, and Net income of Redwood, 5 Arches, and CoreVest combined, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as if the acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 2018. These pro forma amounts have been adjusted to include the amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related compensation expense for both periods, and to exclude the income statement impacts related to our equity method investment in 5 Arches. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated financial results of operations that would have been reported if the acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 2018 and should not be taken as indicative of our future consolidated results of operations.

Other Investments

Strategic Investments

We have made and may make additional strategic investments in companies through our RWT Horizons venture investment strategy or at a corporate level. These investments can take the form of equity or debt and often have conversion features. Depending on the terms of the investments, we may account for these investments under the fair value option or as non-marketable equity securities under the equity method of accounting or the measurement alternative (to the extent they do not have a “readily determinable fair value,” or are not traded in a verifiable public market or are restricted for sale in the public market by a restricted stock legend or otherwise).

Investments accounted for under the fair value option are carried at fair value with periodic changes in value recorded through Investment fair value changes on our consolidated statements of income (loss). For non-marketable securities, we utilize the equity method of accounting when we are able to exert significant influence over but do not control the activities of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, we generally elect to record our share of earnings or losses from equity method investments on a one-quarter lag and we assess our investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of our investment might not be recoverable. Income from equity method investments is recorded in Other income, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value of our investment is measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Adjustments are determined primarily based on a market approach as of the transaction date and are recorded as a component of Other income, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs")

In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-06, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Financial Services—Depository and Lending (Topic 942), and Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses, and No. 33-10835, Update of Statistical Disclosures for Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants (SEC Update)." This new guidance aligns certain SEC paragraphs in the codification with new SEC rules issued in May 2020 related to changes to the disclosure requirements for acquired and disposed businesses. We adopted this guidance upon issuance in the third quarter of 2021, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, "Codification Improvements." This new guidance updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2021, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-09, "Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762." This new guidance aligns certain SEC paragraphs in the codification with new SEC rules issued in March 2020 related to changes to the disclosure requirements for registered debt securities. This new guidance became effective January 4, 2021. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2021, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, "Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs." This new guidance clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2021, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Available-for-Sale Securities~~

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" in the first quarter of 2020, we modified our policy for recording impairments on available-for-sale securities. This new guidance requires that credit impairments on our available-for-sale securities be recorded in earnings using an allowance for credit losses, with the allowance limited to the amount by which the security's fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and is measured as the difference between the beneficial interest’s amortized cost and the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the effective interest rate used to accrete the beneficial interest. Any allowance for credit losses in excess of the unrealized losses on the beneficial interests are accounted for as a prospective reduction of the effective interest rate. No allowance is recorded for beneficial interests in an unrealized gain position. Favorable changes in the discounted cash flows will result in a reduction in the allowance for credit losses, if any. Any reduction in allowance for credit losses is recorded in earnings. If the allowance for credit losses has been reduced to zero, the remaining favorable changes are reflected as a prospective increase to the effective interest rate. If we intend to sell or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before it recovers in value, the entire impairment amount will be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security's amortized cost basis.

~~Goodwill~~

Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" in the first quarter of 2020, we modified our goodwill impairment testing policy. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on that assessment, we believe it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we measure the fair value of reporting unit and record a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. Any such impairment charges would be recorded through Other expenses on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~Newly Adopted Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs")~~

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This new guidance amends previous guidance by removing and modifying certain existing fair value disclosure requirements, while adding other new disclosure requirements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted this new guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2020, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements but impacted certain of our fair value footnote disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." This new guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

(1)Amounts presented in these columns are limited in total to the net amount of assets or liabilities presented in the prior column ("Net Amounts of Assets (Liabilities) Presented in Consolidated Balance Sheet") by instrument. In certain cases, there is excess cash collateral or financial assets we have pledged to a counterparty (which may, in certain circumstances, be a clearinghouse) that exceed the financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Additionally, in certain cases, counterparties may have pledged excess cash collateral to us that exceeds our corresponding financial assets. In each case, any of these excess amounts are excluded from the table although they are separately reported in our consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, respectively.

(2)Interest rate agreements and TBAs are components of derivatives instruments on our consolidated balance sheets. Loan warehouse debt, which is secured by certain residential and business purpose ~~residential~~ loans, and security repurchase agreements are components of Short-term debt and Long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.

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

Note 4. Principles of Consolidation

GAAP requires us to consider whether securitizations we sponsor and other transfers of financial assets should be treated as sales or financings, as well as whether any VIEs that we hold variable interests in – for example, certain legal entities often used in securitization and other structured finance transactions – should be included in our consolidated financial statements. The GAAP principles we apply require us to reassess our requirement to consolidate VIEs each quarter and therefore our determination may change based upon new facts and circumstances pertaining to each VIE. This could result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements during subsequent reporting periods.

Analysis of Consolidated VIEs

At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia, ~~Choice,~~CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and ~~CAFL~~Point 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 ~~the consolidated Sequoia and CAFL entities~~certain securitizations, we are exposed to ~~certain~~ 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. At September 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of our investments in the consolidated Legacy Sequoia, Sequoia Choice, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series and CAFL entities was $5 million, $211 million, $418 million, $27 million, and $232 million, respectively.

~~Beginning in 2018, we consolidated~~We also consolidate 2 Servicing Investment entities formed to invest in servicing-related assets that we determined were VIEs and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we held an 80% ownership interest in, and were responsible for the management of, each entity. See Note 10 for a further description of these entities and the investments they hold and Note 12 for additional information on the minority partner’s non-controlling interest. Additionally, ~~beginning in 2018,~~ we consolidated an entity that was formed to finance servicer advances that we determined was a VIE and for which we, through our control of one of the aforementioned partnerships, were the primary beneficiary. The servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt, secured by servicer advances. We consolidate the securitization entity, but the securitization entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. See Note 13 for additional information on the servicer advance financing.

During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated a Point securitization entity formed to invest in Point HEIs that we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we were the primary beneficiary. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we owned a portion of the ~~estimated fair value~~subordinate certificates issued by the entity and had certain decision making rights for the entity. See Note 10 for a further description of ~~our investment~~this entity and the investments it holds and Note 12 for additional information on non-controlling interests in the ~~Servicing Investment entities was $65 million.~~entity. We consolidate the Point 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 effectively represents the fair value of the beneficial interests we own in the entity. The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of these VIEs.

In addition to our consolidated VIEs for which we made the CFE election, we consolidate additional 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 securitization, Freddie Mac SLST re-securitization, and Servicing Investment entities.

We consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain Sequoia, CAFL and ~~CAFL~~Point 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 ~~CAFL~~Point HEI 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;~~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 ~~CAFL~~Point HEI entities in accordance with GAAP.

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

During the ~~third quarter~~three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not call any of our consolidated CAFL entities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we called 1 of our consolidated CAFL entities and repaid the associated ABS issued. In association with this call, we transferred $45 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale.

During 2020, we re-securitized subordinate securities we owned in our consolidated Freddie Mac SLST securitization trusts, through the transfer of these financial assets to a re-securitization trust that we sponsored. We retain a subordinate investment in the re-securitization trust and maintain certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the entity, as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and the right to receive benefits of and the obligation to absorb losses from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. ~~At securitization, we issued $210 million of ABS and have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost.~~

Analysis of Unconsolidated VIEs with Continuing Involvement

Since 2012, we have transferred residential loans to 5150 Sequoia securitization entities sponsored by us that are still outstanding as of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and accounted for these transfers as sales for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with ASC 860. We also determined we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we lacked the power to direct the activities that will have the most significant economic impact on the entities. For certain of these transfers to securitization entities, for the transferred loans where we held the servicing rights prior to the transfer and continued to hold the servicing rights following the transfer, we recorded mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") on our consolidated balance sheets, and classified those MSRs as Level 3 assets. We also retained senior and subordinate securities in these securitizations that we classified as Level 3 assets. Our continuing involvement in these securitizations is limited to customary servicing obligations associated with retaining servicing rights (which we retain a third-party sub-servicer to perform) and the receipt of interest income associated with the securities we retained.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we called 2 of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities, and purchased $66 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from the securitization trusts. In association with these calls, we realized a $6 million gain on the securities we owned from these called securitizations, which was recognized through Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we called 6 of our unconsolidated Sequoia entities, and purchased $167 million (unpaid principal balance) of loans from the securitization trusts. In association with these calls, we realized a $15 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, 2021, we held $151 million of loans for sale at fair value that were acquired following the calls.

Analysis of Unconsolidated Third-Party VIEs

Third-party VIEs are securitization entities in which we maintain an economic interest, but do not sponsor. Our economic interest may include several securities and other investments from the same third-party VIE, and in those cases, the analysis is performed in consideration of all of our interests. The following table presents a summary of our interests in third-party VIEs at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, grouped by asset type.

Table 4.8 – 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 the unpaid principal balance. The weighted average input values for all other assets and liabilities are based on relative fair value.

(2)The fair value of the loans and HEIs held by consolidated entities was based on the fair value of the ABS issued by these entities ~~including~~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, ~~2020,~~2021, the fair value of securities we owned at the consolidated Sequoia, CAFL SFR, Freddie Mac SLST, Freddie Mac K-Series, and ~~CAFL~~Point HEI entities was ~~$215~~$240 million, ~~$416~~$288 million, ~~$27~~$451 million, $31 million, and ~~$229~~$10 million, respectively.

(3)Represents the estimated average duration of outstanding servicer advances at a given point in time (not taking into account new advances made with respect to the pool).

(4)As a market convention, certain securities are priced to a no-loss yield and therefore do not include default and loss severity assumptions.

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

Determination of Fair Value

We generally use both market comparable information and discounted cash flow modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant ~~input~~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 - such as anticipated credit losses, prepayment rates, interest rates, or other valuation assumptions - in isolation would likely result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

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

Included in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 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.

In addition to the Level 3 financial instruments included in Table 5.7 above, certain of our Other investments (comprised 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 generally value these assets based on our original investment price until there is an observable price change in an orderly transaction for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

Note 6. Residential Loans

We acquire residential loans from third-party originators and may sell or securitize these loans or hold them for investment. The following table summarizes the classifications and carrying values of the residential loans owned at Redwood and at consolidated Sequoia and Freddie Mac SLST entities at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

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

At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$45~~$28 million of AFS securities with contractual maturities less than five years, $3$4 million with contractual maturities greater than five years but less than ten years, and the remainder of our AFS securities had contractual maturities greater than ten years.

Evaluating AFS Securities for Credit Losses

Gross unrealized losses on our AFS securities were ~~$3 million~~$33 thousand at September 30, ~~2020. Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" in the first quarter of 2020, we~~2021. 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, ~~2020,~~2021, we did not intend to sell any of our AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at their maturity. We review our AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position to identify those securities with losses based on an assessment of changes in expected cash flows for such securities, which considers recent security performance and expected future performance of the underlying collateral.

At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our ~~allowance for~~current expected credit ~~losses~~loss ("CECL") allowance related to our AFS securities was ~~$1 million.~~zero. AFS securities for which an allowance is recognized have experienced, or are expected to experience, credit-related adverse cash flow changes. In determining our estimate of cash flows for AFS securities we may consider factors such as structural credit enhancement, past and expected future performance of underlying mortgage loans, including timing of expected future cash flows, which are informed by prepayment rates, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing loans, FICO scores at loan origination, year of origination, loan-to-value ratios, and geographic concentrations, as well as general market assessments. Changes in our evaluation of these factors impacted the cash flows expected to be collected at the assessment date and were used to determine if there were credit-related adverse cash flows and if so, the amount of credit related losses. Significant judgment is used in both our analysis of the expected cash flows for our AFS securities and any determination of security credit losses.

The table below summarizes the weighted average of the significant credit quality indicators we used for the credit loss allowance on our AFS securities at September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, in conjunction with co-sponsoring a securitization of HEIs, we purchased $122 million of additional HEIs from other contributors to the securitization, then transferred $170 million of HEIs to the Point HEI securitization entity and issued $146 million of ABS (See Note 4 for further discussion on the Point securitization entity and Note 14 for further discussion on ABS issued). We retained subordinate certificates from the entity valued at $10 million as of September 30, 2021, representing our economic interest in the entity. The other contributors to the securitization own subordinate certificates in the entity that were valued at $17 million at September 30, 2021 and are carried on our balance sheet as non-controlling interests within the Accrued expenses and other liabilities line item of our consolidated balance sheets.

We consolidate the Point HEI securitization entity in accordance with GAAP and have elected to account for it under the CFE election. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net market valuation gains of less than $0.1 million related to our net investment in the Point HEI entity through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Strategic Investments

Strategic investments represent investments we have made in companies through our RWT Horizons venture investment strategy or at a corporate level. At September 30, 2021, we had made 11 investments in companies through RWT Horizons and two corporate investments, including our investment in Churchill Finance. See Note 3 for additional detail on how we account for our strategic investments.

Excess MSRs

In association with our servicer advance investments described above, we (through our consolidated SA Buyers) invested in excess MSRs associated with the same portfolio of legacy residential mortgage-backed securitizations. Additionally, we own excess MSRs associated with specified pools of multifamily loans. We account for our excess MSRs at fair value and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $3 million and $9 million of interest income, respectively, through Other interest income, and recorded net market valuation losses of $1 million and $5 million, respectively, through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Mortgage Servicing Rights

We invest in mortgage servicing rights associated with residential mortgage loans and contract with licensed sub-servicers to perform all servicing functions for these loans. The majority of our investments in MSRs were made through the retention of servicing rights associated with the residential jumbo mortgage loans that we acquired and subsequently sold to third parties. During the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2019,~~2021, we ~~recognized $2~~retained $5 million and $6$9 million of ~~interest income,~~MSRs, respectively, ~~through~~from sales of residential loans to third parties.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

To manage the variability in interest expense related to ~~portions~~a portion of our long-term debt ~~and certain adjustable-rate securitization entity liabilities~~ that ~~are~~is included in our consolidated balance sheets for financial reporting purposes, we designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges.

During the first quarter of 2020, we terminated and settled all of our outstanding derivatives that had been designated as cash flow hedges for our long-term debt, with a payment of $84 million. For interest rate agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income was ~~$82~~$77 million and ~~$51~~$81 million at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. We ~~will amortize~~are amortizing this loss into interest expense over the remaining term of the ~~trust preferred securities and subordinated notes.~~debt they were originally hedging. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we expect to amortize $4 million of realized losses related to terminated cash flow hedges into interest expense over the next twelve months.

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we did not have any derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, changes in the values of designated cash flow hedges were 0zero and negative $33 million, respectively, and were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, changes in the values of designated cash flow hedges were negative $12 million and negative $27 million, respectively, and were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity.

The following table illustrates the impact on interest expense of our interest rate agreements accounted for as cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

Servicer advance financing consists of non-recourse short-term securitization debt used to finance servicer advance investments. We consolidate the securitization entity that issued the debt, but the entity is independent of Redwood and the assets and liabilities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of Redwood. At September 30, ~~2020, the fair value of servicer advances, cash and restricted cash collateralizing the securitization financing was $270 million. At September 30, 2020,~~2021, the accrued interest payable balance on this financing was $0.1 million and the unamortized capitalized commitment costs were ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million.

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 $3$2 million at September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. At both September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had 0no outstanding borrowings on this facility.

(3)Certain ABS issued by CAFL, Freddie Mac SLST, and Point HEI entities is subject to early redemption and interest rate step-ups as described below.

During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of a securitization entity formed in connection with the securitization of CoreVest bridge loans (presented within CAFL in table 14.1 above), which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $270 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. At September 30, 2021, the principal balance of the ABS issued was $270 million, and the debt discount and deferred issuance costs were $3 million, for a net carrying value of $267 million. The weighted average stated coupon of the ABS issued was 2.34% at issuance. The ABS issued by the CAFL bridge entity are subject to an optional redemption in March 2024, and beginning in March 2025 the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 2% through final maturity in March 2029. The ABS issued by this securitization were backed by assets including $276 million of bridge loans and $28 million of restricted cash at September 30, 2021. The securitization is structured with $300 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 30 months of the transaction (through March 2024).

During the third quarter of 2021, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of the Point HEI 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. We elected to account for the entity under the CFE election and account for the ABS issued at fair value, with the entire change in fair value of the ABS issued (including accrued interest) recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). The ABS issued by the Point HEI entity are subject to an optional redemption in September 2023, and beginning in September 2024 the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 2% through final maturity in 2052.

During the third quarter of 2020, we transferred all of the subordinate securities we owned from two consolidated re-performing loan securitization VIEs sponsored by Freddie Mac SLST to a re-securitization trust, which we determined was a VIE and for which we determined we are the primary beneficiary. At issuance, we sold $210 million (principal balance) of ABS issued to third parties and retained 100% of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. The ABS was issued at a discount and we have elected to account for the ABS issued at amortized cost. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the ~~carrying value~~principal balance of the ABS issued was ~~$203~~$163 million, and the debt discount ~~was $5~~and deferred issuance costs were $3 million, for a carrying value of $161 million. The stated coupon of the ABS issued was 4.75% at issuance and the final stated maturity occurs in July 2059. The ABS issued is subject to an optional redemption in July 2022 and in July 2023 the ABS interest rate ~~step-ups prior~~steps up to ~~the stated maturity according to the terms of the respective governing agreements.~~7.75%.

Note 14. 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 its stated maturity. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the majority of the ABS issued and outstanding had contractual maturities beyond five years. See Note 4 for detail on the carrying value components of the collateral for ABS issued and outstanding. The following table summarizes the accrued interest payable on ABS issued at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Interest due on consolidated ABS issued is payable monthly.

Recourse Subordinate Securities Financing

In the third quarter of 2021, a subsidiary of Redwood entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable recourse debt financing of certain securities retained from our ~~Annual Report~~consolidated CAFL securitizations. The financing is guaranteed by Redwood, with an interest rate of approximately 4.75% through June 2024. The financing facility may be terminated, at our option, in June 2023, and has a final maturity in June 2026, provided that the interest rate on ~~Form 10-K~~amounts outstanding under the facility increases between June 2024 and June 2026. See "Facility B" above for details on borrowings and securities pledged as collateral under this facility at September 30, 2021.

We do not expect to increase borrowings under our FHLBC borrowing agreement above the existing $1 million of advances outstanding. This agreement also requires our subsidiary to purchaseat March 31, 2021, and hold stock in the FHLBC in an amount equal to a specified percentage of outstanding advances. At September 30, 2020, our subsidiary held $5 million of FHLBC stock that is included in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

~~Recourse Subordinate Securities Financing Facilities~~

~~In 2019, a subsidiary of Redwood~~ entered into a ~~repurchase agreement providing non-marginable (e.g., not subject~~new non-recourse facility to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral) recourse debt financing of certain Sequoia securities as well as securities retained from our consolidated Sequoia Choice securitizations.

We determined that none of our leases contained an implicit interest rate and used a discount rate equal to our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis to determine the present value of our total lease payments. As such, we determined the applicable discount rate for each of our leases using a swap rate plus an applicable spread for borrowing arrangements secured by our real estate loans and securities for a length of time equal to the remaining lease term on the date of adoption. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our leases was 7 years and ~~5.0%~~4.9%, respectively.

Commitment to Fund ~~Residential~~ Bridge Loans

As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had commitments to fund up to ~~$225~~$426 million of additional advances on existing ~~residential~~ bridge loans. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the ~~customer~~borrower and other terms regarding advances that must be met before we fund the commitment. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we ~~recorded~~carried a $1 million ~~derivative~~contingent liability related to these commitments to fund construction ~~advances (see~~ ~~Note 7~~ ~~for additional detail).

Commitment to Fund Partnerships

In ~~the fourth quarter of~~ 2018, we invested in 2 partnerships created to acquire and manage certain mortgage servicing related assets (see Note 10 for additional detail). In connection with this investment, we are required to fund future net servicer advances related to the underlying mortgage loans. The actual amount of net servicer advances we may fund in the future is subject to significant uncertainty and will be based on the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans.

~~5 Arches Contingent Consideration~~

As part of the consideration for our acquisition of 5 Arches, we were committed to make earn-out payments up to $29 million, payable in a mix of cash and Redwood common stock. These contingent earn-out payments were classified as a contingent consideration liability and carried at fair value prior to March 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we made a cash payment of $11 million and granted $3 million of Redwood common stock in connection with the first anniversary of the purchase date. Additionally, as a result of an amendment to the agreement, we reclassified the contingent liability to a deferred liability, as the remaining payments became payable on a set timetable without any remaining contingencies. At September 30, 2020, the balance of this liability was $14 million, which will be paid in a mix of cash and common stock in March 2021.

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, ~~2020,~~2021, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these arrangements was $44 million and this amount was ~~fully~~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, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~not~~ incurred ~~any~~less than $0.1 million of losses under these arrangements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, other income related to these arrangements was $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and net market valuation losses related to these investments were less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, other income related to these arrangements was $1 million and $3 million, respectively, and net market valuation losses related to these investments were $0.3 million and ~~$0.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, other income related to these arrangements was~~ $1 ~~million and $2 million, respectively, and net market valuation losses related to these investments were $0.1 million and $0.2~~ million, respectively.

All of the loans in the reference pools subject to these risk-sharing arrangements were originated in 2014 and 2015, and at September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the loans had an unpaid principal balance of ~~$1.12 billion~~$618 million and a weighted average FICO score of ~~758~~756 (at origination) and LTV ratio of ~~75%~~74% (at origination).

Our consolidated balance sheets include assets of special purpose entities ("SPEs") associated with these risk-sharing arrangements (i.e., the "pledged collateral" referred to above) that can only be used to settle obligations of these SPEs for which the creditors of these SPEs (the Agencies) do not have recourse to ~~Redwood Trust, Inc. or its affiliates.~~us.

Loss Contingencies — Residential Repurchase Reserve

We maintain a repurchase reserve for potential obligations arising from representation and warranty violations related to residential loans we have sold to securitization trusts or third parties and for conforming residential loans associated with MSRs that we have purchased from third parties. We do not originate residential loans and we believe the initial risk of loss due to loan repurchases (i.e., due to a breach of representations and warranties) would generally be a contingency to the companies from whom we acquired the loans. However, in some cases, for example, where loans were acquired from companies that have since become insolvent, repurchase claims may result in our being liable for a repurchase obligation. Additionally, for certain loans we sold during the second quarter of 2020 that were previously held for investment, we have a direct obligation to repurchase these loans in the event of any early payment defaults (or ~~EPDs)~~"EPDs") by the underlying mortgage borrowers within certain specified periods following the sales.

At both September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our repurchase reserve associated with our residential loans and MSRs was $9 million ~~and $4 million, respectively,~~ and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

~~We received 8 and 10 repurchase requests during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and did 0t repurchase any loans during either of these periods.~~ During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we received 3 and ~~2019,~~8 repurchase requests, respectively, and repurchased 1 and zero loans, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded repurchase provisions of $4$0.6 million and ~~reversals of repurchase provisions of $0.2~~$4 million, respectively, that were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net; Investment fair value changes, net; and Other income on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Loss Contingencies — Litigation, Claims and Demands

There is no significant update regarding the litigation matters described in Note 16 within the financial statements included in Redwood’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 under the heading “Loss Contingencies - Litigation.” At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves established in respect of the FHLB-Seattle and Schwab litigation matters described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 was $2 million.

In addition to those matters, as previously disclosed, in connection with the impact of the effects of the pandemic on the non-Agency mortgage finance market and on our business and operations, a number of the counterparties that have regularly sold residential mortgage loans to us believe that we breached perceived obligations to them, and requested or demanded that we purchase loans from them and/or compensate them for perceived damages resulting from our decisions earlier in 2020 not to purchase certain loans from them (“Residential Loan Seller Demands”).

We believe that these Residential Loan Seller Demands are without merit or subject to defenses and we intend to defend vigorously any such allegations and any related demand or claim to which we are or become a party. Despite our beliefs about the legal merits of these allegations, because our ordinary course of business is to seek to continue to regularly engage in mutually beneficial transactions with these counterparties, in some cases we have been willing to engage in discussions with these counterparties with the intention of reaching resolution, including through structuring arrangements that incentivize both the counterparty and us to continue to engage in residential loan purchase and sale transactions in the future.

~~Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies - (continued)~~

With respect to certain of the Residential Loan Seller Demands, these resolution discussions have been successful in resolving, or establishing a framework that we believe will be the basis for successfully resolving, the demands of these counterparties, including through forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements that incentivize both the counterparty and us to continue to engage in residential loan purchase and sale transactions in the future. With respect to these counterparties, we have incurred or expect to incur certain costs in connection with finalizing these arrangements (including costs that are contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with these counterparties that we expect to generate future revenue for the Company) and have recorded any such actual costs incurred through September 30, 2020, as well as an accrual for the estimated costs associated with counterparties where a resolution or go-forward framework has been agreed to or has been discussed but not finalized, a portion of which was recorded through Other expense and a portion of which was recorded through Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated income statement. In accordance with GAAP, the accrual for estimated costs is based on the opinion of management, that it is probable that these resolutions and forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements will result in an expense and the amount of expense can be reasonably estimated. In addition, as previously disclosed, one such counterparty filed a breach of contract lawsuit against us in May 2020 alleging that it had suffered in excess of $2 million of losses as a result of our alleged failure to purchase residential mortgage loans from it; and in October 2020 we and the plaintiff agreed to settle the lawsuit on mutually satisfactory terms.

~~During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $4 million and $9 million of expenses, respectively, in association with Residential Loan Seller Demands.~~ At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the aggregate amount of our accrual for estimated costs associated with ~~Residential~~the "Residential Loan Seller ~~Demands~~Demands" described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 was ~~$6.5~~$2 million, a portion of which ~~would be~~is contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with certain ~~counterparties, with the expectation of generating future revenue~~counterparties. We believe we have either resolved or adequately accrued for ~~the Company.~~

~~With respect to~~any unresolved Residential Loan Seller Demands and that there are no other Residential Loan Seller Demands that have not been resolved or been accrued for, our beliefs about the legal merits of these allegations and our discussions with these counterparties have resulted in us determining that a significant loss from these matters is not probable. With respect to these remaining Residential Loan Seller Demands, based on the foregoing, we have concluded that we can estimate an aggregate range ofare reasonably possible ~~losses with respect~~ to ~~these Residential Loan Seller Demands of between 0 and $1.5 million.~~

Future developments (including receipt of additional information and documents relating to these matters, new or additional resolution or settlement communications relating to these matters, resolutions of similar claims against other industry participants in similar circumstances, or receipt of additional Residential Loan Seller Demands) could result in our concluding in the future to establish additional accruals or reserves or modify our aggregate range of reasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demand matters. Our actual losses, and any accruals or reserves we may establish in the future relating to these matters, may be materially higher than the accruals, reserves and the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses we have estimated above, respectively, including in the event that any of these matters proceed to trial and result in a judgment against us. We cannot be certain that any of these matters that are not already formally resolved will be resolved through a resolution or settlement and we cannot be certain that the resolution of these matters, whether through litigation, settlement, or otherwise, will not have a material ~~adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future period.~~

In accordance with GAAP, we review the need for any loss contingency reserves and establish reserves when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that a matter would result in a liability and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, we record receivables for insurance recoveries relating to litigation-related losses and expenses if and when such amounts are covered by insurance and recovery of such losses or expenses are due. We review our litigation matters each quarter to assess these loss contingency reserves and make adjustments in these reserves, upwards or downwards, as appropriate, in accordance with GAAP based on our review.

In the ordinary course of any litigation matter, including certain of the above-referenced matters, we have engaged and may continue to engage in formal or informal settlement communications with the plaintiffs or co-defendants. Settlement communications we have engaged in relating to certain of the above-referenced litigation matters are one of the factors that have resulted in our determination to establish the loss contingency reserves described above. We cannot be certain that any of these matters will be resolved through a settlement prior to litigation and we cannot be certain that the resolution of these matters, whether through trial or settlement, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future period.

During ~~the three months ended September 30, 2020 and~~ the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2019,~~2021 and the three months ended September 30, 2020, certain of our convertible notes were determined to be dilutive and were included in the calculation of diluted EPS under the "if-converted" method. Under this method, the periodic interest expense ~~and any realized gains or losses on extinguishment of debt~~ (net of applicable taxes) for dilutive notes is added back to the numerator and the weighted average number of shares that the notes are entitled to (if converted, regardless of whether they are in or out of the money) are included in the denominator.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ~~32,225,825~~32.2 million of common shares related to the assumed conversion of our convertible notes were antidilutive and were excluded in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the number of outstanding equity awards that were antidilutive totaled 22,102 and 18,736, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the number of outstanding equity awards that were antidilutive totaled 13,560 and 15,457, respectively. ~~For the three and nine months ended~~

Stock Repurchases

In February 2018, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of our common stock, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchases of common stock to $100 million, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. This authorization increased the previous share repurchase authorization approved in February 2016 and has no expiration date. This repurchase authorization does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. Under this authorization, shares or securities may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the ~~three~~nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we ~~repurchased 3,047,335 shares of our common stock pursuant to this authorization for $22 million.~~did not repurchase any shares. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, $78 million of the current authorization remained available for the repurchase of shares of our common stock and we also continued to be authorized to repurchase outstanding debt securities.

~~Variable Compensation Expense~~

~~During the three months ended September 30, 2020,~~ ~~$8 million~~ of cash-based retention awards were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees that will vest and be paid over the next three years, subject to continued employment through the vesting periods from 2021 through 2023. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, Long-Term Relative TSR Performance Vesting Cash Awards ("Cash Performance Awards") with an aggregate granted award value of $2 million, were granted to certain executive and non-executive employees that will vest between 0% to 400% of granted award value based on a relative total stockholder return measure, and are contingent on continued employment over a three-year service period.

The value of the cash-based retention awards is being amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over each award's respective vesting period. The Cash Performance Awards are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, however, are remeasured at fair value each quarter-end and the cumulative straight-line expense is trued-up in respect to their updated value. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, variable compensation expense included $3 million in aggregate, related to the cash-based retention awards and the Cash Performance awards.

Note 22. 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 others, the assets it holds, the income it generates, and the composition of its stockholders.

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, we recognized a ~~benefit~~provision for income taxes of ~~$13~~$14 million and a ~~provision~~benefit from income taxes of $3$13 million, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal and state tax rates to our effective tax rate at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

Table 22.1 – Reconciliation of Statutory Tax Rate to Effective Tax Rate


		September 30, 2020		September 30, 2019			September 30, 2021		September 30, 2020
Federal statutory rate	Federal statutory rate	21.0	%	21.0	%	Federal statutory rate	21.0	%	21.0	%

Effective Tax Rate	Effective Tax Rate	2.0	%	2.5	%	Effective Tax Rate	4.8	%	2.0	%

(1)The dividends paid deduction in the effective tax rate reconciliation is generally representative of the amount of distributions to shareholders that reduce REIT taxable income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the dividends paid deduction is 0% ~~due to our REIT incurring a taxable loss during the period; therefore,~~because there was no REIT taxable income available to apply against the dividends paid. This was due to our REIT incurring a taxable loss during the period.

We assessed our tax positions for all open tax years (i.e., Federal, 2017 to ~~2020,~~2021, and State, 2016 to ~~2020)~~2021) at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and concluded that we had no uncertain tax positions that resulted in material unrecognized tax benefits.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

For the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021, we reassessed the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets ("DTAs") noting an increase in positive evidence related to our ability to utilize certain DTAs. The positive evidence includes significant revenue growth in recent quarters and expectations regarding future profitability at our TRS. After assessing both the positive and negative evidence, we determined it was more likely than not that we will realize all of our federal DTAs. Therefore, we reversed our federal valuation allowance of $17 million as a discrete benefit in the third quarter of 2021. In addition to the federal valuation allowance release, we determined it was more likely than not that we will realize a portion of our state DTAs and, as such, reversed $3 million of state valuation allowance as a discrete item in the third quarter of 2021. 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.

Note 23. Segment Information

Redwood operates in 3 segments: Residential Lending, Business Purpose Lending, and Third-Party Investments. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we combined what was previously our Multifamily Investments segment and Third-Party Residential Investments segment into a new segment called Third-Party Investments. Prior periods have been conformed to the current presentation. Following isFor a full description of our ~~current segments.~~

~~Residential Lending~~segments, see ~~– consists of a mortgage loan conduit that acquires residential loans from third-party originators~~Part I, Item 1—Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for ~~subsequent sale, securitization, or transfer into our investment portfolio, as well as~~ the investments we retain from these activities. We typically acquire prime, jumbo mortgages and the related mortgage servicing rights on a flow basis from our network of loan sellers and distribute those loans through our Sequoia private-label securitization program or to institutions that acquire pools of whole loans. Our investments in this segment primarily consist of residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") retained from our Sequoia securitizations (some of which we consolidate for GAAP purposes) and MSRs retained from jumbo whole loans we sold or securitized. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale and long-term investments we hold within this segment. This segment’s main source of revenue is net interest income from its long-term investments and its inventory of loans held-for-sale, as well as income from mortgage banking activities, which includes valuation increases (or gains) on loans we acquire and subsequently sell, securitize, or transfer into our investment portfolio, and the hedges used to manage risks associated with these activities. Additionally, this segment may realize gains and losses upon the sale of securities. Funding expenses, direct operating expenses, and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.

~~Business Purpose Lending~~ – consists of a platform that originates and acquires business purpose residential loans for subsequent securitization or transfer into our investment portfolio, as well as the investments we retain from these activities. We typically originate single-family rental and residential bridge loans and distribute certain single-family rental loans through our CoreVest American Finance Lender ("CAFL") private-label securitization program and retain others for investment along with our residential bridge loans. Single-family rental loans are business purpose residential mortgage loans to investors in single-family (1-4 unit) rental properties. Residential bridge loans are business purpose residential mortgage loans to investors rehabilitating and subsequently reselling or renting residential properties. Our investments in this segment primarily consist of securities retained from our CAFL securitizations (which we consolidate for GAAP purposes), and residential bridge loans. This segment also includes various derivative financial instruments that we utilize to manage certain risks associated with our inventory of single-family rental loans held-for-sale and our investments. This segment’s main source of revenue is net interest income from its investments and loans held-for-sale, as well as income from mortgage banking activities, which includes valuation increases (or gains) on loans we originate or acquire and subsequently sell, securitize or transfer into our investment portfolio, and the hedges used to manage risks associated with these activities. Additionally, this segment may realize gains and losses upon the sale of securities. Funding expenses, direct operating expenses, and tax expenses associated with these activities are also included in this segment.

~~Third-Party Investments~~ – consists of investments in RMBS issued by third parties, investments in Freddie Mac K-Series multifamily loan securitizations and SLST reperforming loan securitizations (which we consolidate for GAAP purposes), our servicer advance investments, and other residential and multifamily credit investments not generated through our Residential or Business Purpose Lending segments. This segment’s main sources of revenue are interest income from securities and loans held-for-investment. Additionally, this segment may realize gains and losses upon the sale of securities. Funding expenses, hedging expenses, direct operating expenses, and tax provisions associated with these activities are also included in this segment.year ended December 31, 2020.

Segment contribution represents the measure of profit that management uses to assess the performance of our business segments and make resource allocation and operating decisions. Certain corporate expenses not directly assigned or allocated to one of our 3 segments, as well as activity from certain consolidated Sequoia entities, are included in the Corporate/Other column as reconciling items to our consolidated financial statements. These unallocated corporate expenses primarily include interest expense from our convertible notes and trust preferred securities, indirect general and administrative expenses and other expense.

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

OVERVIEW

Business Update

InDuring the third quarter, we hosted Redwood’s third annual Investor Day. During our event we affirmed our commitment to our corporate mission to make quality housing, whether rented or owned, accessible to all American households, and discussed the Company's vision of ~~2020, we positioned ourselves to take advantage of opportunities emerging~~being the leading operator and strategic capital provider driving sustainable innovation in housing finance.

We have significantly broadened our ~~markets. Though we remain wary of a volatile election season~~business within the housing market over the past several years. This includes expanding our mortgage banking platform and ~~rising rates of COVID-19 infections in many parts~~investment portfolio beyond the jumbo residential mortgage space, while maintaining the core competencies of the ~~U.S.,~~firm around our expertise in residential housing credit. Our expansion includes our acquisition of CoreVest in 2019 – which has now been part of our platform for two years – and investments in several other areas of housing finance. More recently, our approach to capital deployment has continued to evolve. Our progress this year growing our RWT Horizons initiative – investing in advanced technologies with the potential to transform our businesses ~~are back to operating at full speed and we are optimistic~~– reflects an important step in that ~~we will end 2020 on a high note.~~

After recasting our balance sheet and positioning our businesses to relaunch from a position of strength, we are now conducting new business at a rapid pace and leveraging industry relationships forged over many business cycles. But after such a profoundly challenging period for our sector and country, we were compelled to think critically about the type of company we want to lead over the long-term – including how we fit into a nation grappling with civil unrest, pandemic fatigue, and a depressed job market.

~~We emerged with great clarity on who we are and where we are headed. Our business continues moving towards where~~process. While our capital remains predominantly allocated to our operating businesses and investment portfolio, RWT Horizons reflects our belief in the strategic importance of innovation and partnership in driving profitable scale.

Our strategic vision is ~~most impactful~~based upon the vast addressable market we see in front of us, driven by macroeconomic and market forces that have made liquidity sourced from the private markets essential for a robust housing finance system, for both consumers and investors alike. The recent modest increase in benchmark rates belies a lack of yield in the market that – inbut for some brief and notable intervals – has been persistent for over a decade. Taken together, this puts a premium on enterprises that can directly access markets efficiently and with discipline. We believe that these competencies, coupled with capital optimization and efficiency gains, will drive our ~~residential~~financial results, and ~~business purpose lending segments, complemented by portfolio strategies where we hold distinct competitive advantages. With the Federal Reserve providing an unprecedented amount of stimulus~~continuing to financial markets, the detachment of asset prices from certain underlying fundamentals is the most pronounced we have seen since the lead up to the Great Financial Crisis. A vast amount of capital is now in need of deployment, and we believe this excess liquidity will continue to support higher pricescreatively expand distribution channels for mortgage related investments and exacerbate their scarcity value. As such, it has become a strategic priority for many investment firms to access the whole-loans that underlie such investments. This is exactly what Redwood’s residential and business purpose lending platforms are built to generate.

~~Demand for~~ loans we originate or acquire ~~has only grown stronger as the year has unfolded. This demand has enabled us~~will be an important part of our evolution.

Turning to enhance our distribution strategies to compete more effectively for volume while reducing our exposure to market volatility. Recently completed non-mark-to-market financing facilities supporting our residential, business purpose, and third party investments, including financing residential loans in forbearance, helped achieve this reduced exposure. While most of these new facilities were completed with our traditional banking counterparties, we are expanding our reach by also working with non-bank financing sources that will allow us to use our working capital more efficiently.

In the third quarter of 2021, after a successful first half of the year, our ~~residential mortgage lock volume was $2.12~~team continued its strong performance. CoreVest maintained its momentum, funding $639 million of loans for the quarter, including $239 million in September alone. Our third quarter results saw strong contributions from both our SFR and Bridge lending teams, and we made key progress in our correspondent loan business, including our strategic investment in Churchill. Meanwhile, the Residential business identified $4.7 billion growing from nearly zero in the second quarter. It was also the highest quarterly volume sourced exclusively through our residential loan seller network in five years. Moreover, we achieved this throughof loans for purchase activity with only about 40% of our loan sellers. We also have yet to formally relaunch our expanded prime program, Redwood Choice, which we expect to contribute more significantly to our 2021 acquisition volumes. Additionally, the mortgage finance industry remains focused on the refinancing opportunity for conforming mortgage loans. In our view, there is potential for significantly increased jumbo loan origination and acquisition volumes, driven by evolving consumer demand and the potential for interest rates on jumbo mortgage loans to continue converging towards those for conforming mortgage loans. Our recent efforts have positioned us to compete effectively in what may be a substantially larger market. The recent completion of our first Sequoia securitization backed largely by loans originated since the COVID-19 crisis began is an important affirmation of our progress.

~~Similarly, our business purpose origination activity remained strong~~ in the third quarter (locked loans, unadjusted for fallout). Notwithstanding that benchmark interest rates hit lows not seen since February, almost 60% of our residential loan locks during the third quarter were on purchase-money loans, which we believe is indicative of the quality of our pipeline and our sellers.

Our investment portfolio remained in step with this operating progress, appreciating in value by approximately 2% during the third quarter of 2021. We believe there remains potential upside in our securities portfolio from a combination of accretable market discount and call rights that we control.

These factors contributed to another strong quarter of financial results, with GAAP earnings of $0.65 per diluted share, a 27% annualized return on equity for the third quarter of 2021. Book value increased 4.7% in the third quarter to $12.00 per share, contributing to an overall year-to-date increase of 21%. We declared a third quarter dividend of $0.21 per share and have now earned a 27% economic return year to date, which represents growth in GAAP book value combined with dividends paid.

Additionally, we executed a series of strategic and novel transactions across various disciplines within our firm that both positively contributed to earnings and provided indicators of our operating progress. Our Residential team completed a securitization leveraging blockchain technology for enhanced payment reporting for Sequoia investors. Historically, RMBS investors have needed to wait until well into the following month to see a month’s worth of remittance details on underlying loans. Liquid Mortgage – ~~providing us~~an early portfolio company of RWT Horizons – has coordinated with our sub-servicer to publish daily remittance information on a public blockchain. We believe this implementation is just the first step in the application of this type of technology to our business.

Next, we completed CoreVest’s first securitization of bridge loans, which priced competitively against comparable transactions in the market. This new form of distribution provides a valuable capital management tool with a ~~favorable combination of robust underwriting coupled~~30-month reinvestment feature. We expect CoreVest to continue to consider issuing bridge loan securitizations in conjunction with ~~higher margins. Our third quarter~~our traditional single-family rental ("SFR") loan securitizations, having recently priced the 19th overall CAFL securitization was met with extremely high demand, with the AAA-rated securities pricing with an interest rate of 1.36%. In addition to the benefit from lower benchmark rates, blended credit spreads for the offered bonds were better than the execution we achieved in ~~our final transaction of 2019, well in advance of this spring’s volatility.~~October 2021.

As our operating strategies take shape, our investment portfolio’s asset values have continued to recover since incurring unrealized losses during the first quarter. The significant upside we have seen in these investments appears to be a story unique to Redwood – with many of our competitors exiting their non-agency portfolios in response to the pandemic. Though we can’t predict the pace or extent of a broad-based economic recovery, we believe our portfolio values still have room for further recovery, with the investment portfolio currently yielding in the low- to mid-double digits to our basis in those assets at September 30, 2020.

As we focus on growth opportunities ahead, we believe the secular trends supporting our housing thesis are not just intact, but accelerating due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The nationwide push toward single-family housing – whether rented or owned – is no longer a nuanced data point, but has become widely recognized as families look for more space to live socially distanced, work, and learn from home. As this shift unfolds, densely populated cities continue to see home prices and rents stay relatively flat or decline, while neighboring suburbs enjoy robust demand and home price appreciation – in many cases exceeding 10-20% over prior year levels. With over 65% of single-family homes having 3 bedrooms or more, compared to only 11% of apartment units, we expect the trend towards single-family living to continue and to be supported by low interest rates.

7678

~~While~~Finally, we co-sponsored a securitization backed entirely by residential Home Equity Investment contracts (“HEIs”). Co-sponsored with Point Digital, a financial technology company, this transaction allowed investors to participate in a new sector of the residential housing finance market that enables homeowners to participate in the benefits of home price appreciation without having to sell their homes or incur additional debt obligations. In parallel with this securitization, we renewed our flow purchase arrangement with Point, providing us with continuing HEI acquisition and securitization opportunities.

RWT Horizons also continued its investment activity, completing six investments during the third quarter while continuing to analyze a broad array of opportunities in the pipeline, including several in the climate analytics area, which continues to be of interest as traditional methods of predicting how climate change can impact property valuation and insurability continue to evolve. With a direct relationship to our firmwide ESG work, we expect to continue dedicating focus to this type of opportunity through RWT Horizons.

As we approach the end of 2021, we are ~~pleased with~~proceeding cautiously. We see several macro and market risks ahead, including COVID-19 variants, rising inflation, central bank tapering (now officially signaled by the Federal Reserve) and Federal debt ceiling extension uncertainty, among others. More fundamentally, recent trends in unemployment claims data suggest that the economy is still in a recovery phase and the current economic situation is far from stable, notwithstanding consistent upward pressure on home prices and rents that has otherwise been favorable to our ~~market positioning~~business results. Our interest rate, capital and ~~expectations for growth, navigating the Company through prolonged market volatility will remain a primary focus. The high standards~~broader risk management posture reflects this cautious view: while we have ~~set for service to our customers~~generated strong earnings thus far in 2021, we have done so with record levels of cash on hand – including $557 million at September 30, 2021.

We are well-established, but it is critical for us to maintain an infrastructure that can preserve this standard while allowing us to scale profitably and safely. To accomplish this, we are committed to innovating and investing in our technology.

Our businesses recently completed an updated technology roadmap that identified significant opportunities to provide technology-enabled solutions to our network of loan sellers and sponsors. We aim to disrupt traditional private-sector workflows and ideologies that have inhibited automation in the non-agency mortgage market.

Non-agency residential loan purchase workflows and timelines is one such opportunity. We recently announced the pilot launch of Redwood “Rapid Funding”, a technology-enabled program that will permit qualifying originators to transact with usalso focused on a significantly accelerated purchase timeline. Our delegated process allows originators to control their closing timelines; adding this feature will enable them to free up capital more quickly and remove risk from their balance sheets. Our program will also create opportunities for faster settlements to our loan buyer network – particularly depositories – that ultimately could lead to better outcomes for borrowers.

At CoreVest, our business purpose lending subsidiary, technology and data architecture have long been hallmarks of the platform’s advantages in client acquisition and retention. A culture of consistent iteration of the technology suite – particularly in the proprietary use of leading cloud-based systems to automate workflow management – keeps the platform’s first-mover advantage fresh. This client-centric approach keeps customers coming back, as evidenced by our approximately 50% repeat borrower rate, but also positions us to capitalize as this area of the market continues to grow.

Though our business platforms serve different parts of the housing market, our core mission unifies them. We aim to make quality housing accessible to all Americans, whether rented or owned. For example, we finance build-to-rent communities in the Midwest, workforce housing in the South, and high-balance residential mortgages on the coasts. Our mission also speaks to the role we play in our communities, and motivates us to advocate for and advance inclusion and diversity initiatives across our industry. By focusing on financing solutions for all consumers and investors not served by government-sponsored loan programs, we believe we can makemaking a positive impact for our ~~stakeholders – especially~~people, our ~~shareholders, employees,~~customers, our communities, and ~~communities.~~

the overall society within which we operate. We believe this focus on a business model vision and a set of core values can produce long-term and sustainable benefits for all our stakeholders. Going forward, we expect to continue operating to fulfill our broadly-conceived mission, focusing on the significant addressable markets in front of us, embracing the cusp of innovation, running a business grounded in fundamentals and sound analysis, and nurturing a diverse talent bench engaged and aligned with our values.

During the~~basic earnings per share significantly exceeded our third quarter dividend of ~~2020, we repurchased three million shares of our common stock for $22 million, resulting in a $0.03~~$0.21 per ~~share benefit to book value.~~

•During the third quarter of 2020, we entered into two separate non-recourse debt transactions and closed two non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral) loan warehouse facilities. These transactions helped reduce our recourse debt from $1.82 billion at June 30, 2020 to $1.35 billion at September 30, 2020, and reduced our marginable debt from $375 million at June 30, 2020 to $120 million at September 30, 2020. While our new non-marginable and non-recourse financing facilities have reduced our contingent liquidity risks, they generally have higher interest costs, which will marginally impact our net interest income in coming quarters. Additional details on these new financing agreements, including additional details regarding market value-based margin call provisions compared to asset value-based margin call provisions, are provided in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section that follows in this MD&A under the heading “~~Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities."~~

Net Interest Income

The ~~decrease~~increase in net interest income during the three-month periods was primarily due to ~~lower~~higher average asset balances during the third quarter of ~~2020 resulting from portfolio repositioning in~~2021, as well as a higher net interest margin, driven by the ~~first half~~combination of ~~2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic,~~a lower average cost of funds and higher ~~borrowing costs associated with non-marginable and non-recourse debt facilities we entered into in~~discount accretion on our available-for-sale securities. For the ~~second and third quarters of 2020.~~

~~The increase~~nine-month periods, the decrease in net interest ~~income during the nine-month periods~~expense was primarily ~~due~~related to higher net interest income from bridge loans and loans held for investment at CAFL entities, which we consolidated beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019 following the acquisition of CoreVest. These increases were mostly offset by a reduction in net interest income resulting from sales of investments inaverage asset balances during the first half of 2020, as we repositioned our portfolio ~~in response to~~during the ~~COVID-19 pandemic.~~second quarter of 2020, selling a significant amount of assets.

~~The decrease in income from mortgage banking activities~~businesses during ~~the nine-month periods was predominantly due to a decrease in loan acquisition volumes at our residential mortgage banking business, as well as lower margins, in both cases~~2021, due to pandemic-related ~~market disruptions.~~disruptions in 2020, which adversely impacted our origination volumes in 2020.

A more detailed analysis of the changes in this line item is included in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section that follows.

Investment Fair Value Changes, Net

Investment fair value changes, net, is primarily comprised of the change in fair values of our portfolio investments accounted for under the fair value option and, prior to the second quarter of 2020, interest rate hedges associated with these investments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, positive investment fair value changes reflected continuing improvement in credit performance and spread tightening across our investment portfolio, particularly in our third-party re-performing loan ("RPL") and retained CAFL SFR securities. Additional detail on our investment fair value changes during 2021 is included in the “Results of Operations bySegment” section that follows.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, investment fair value changes reflected ~~further~~ increases in the fair value of our investment assets ~~as spreads continued to tighten during the third quarter.~~from improved credit performance and spread tightening. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the negative investment fair value changes reflected significant declines in the value of our investments in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from market dislocations caused by the pandemic. ~~Additional detail on our investment fair value changes is included in the “Results of Operations bySegment” section that follows.~~

Other Income

The ~~decrease~~increase in other income for the three- and nine-month periods was primarily the result of ~~losses on~~an increase in income from our MSR investments, which ~~were driven primarily by increased~~generally benefited from a stabilization in prepayment speeds ~~resulting from recent declines in interest rates. Additionally, we recorded a $2 million gain associated with~~during 2021.

Realized Gains, Net

During the ~~re-measurement of our initial minority investment~~three and ~~purchase option in 5 Arches during the~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2019.~~

~~Realized Gains, Net~~

2021, we realized gains of $7 million and $18 million, respectively, primarily resulting from the call of two and six seasoned Sequoia securitizations, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we realized gains of $1 million and $30 million, respectively, primarily resulting from the sale of ~~zero and $55 million of~~ AFS securities, ~~respectively,~~ and for the nine-month period, a $25 million gain from the repurchase of $125 million of convertible debt during the second quarter of 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we realized gains of $5 million and $18 million, respectively, primarily from the sale of $15 million and $82 million of AFS securities, respectively, and the call of a seasoned Sequoia securitization. Of note, all of the gains from extinguishment of debt were excluded from our diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in accordance with GAAP. See ~~Note 17~~ ~~of our~~ ~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~ ~~in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on this calculation.~~

General and Administrative Expenses

Loan Acquisition Costs

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is almost entirely related to activity at our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which primarily includes our mortgage banking activities and MSR investments, as well as certain other investment and hedging activities. For the three-month periods, our income tax provision decreased as we realized a $19 million benefit from the release of valuation allowance on a portion of our deferred tax assets. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in ~~provision for income taxes was the result of higher~~ GAAP income ~~earned~~recorded at our TRS ~~in the current year versus the prior year.~~and state taxes during 2021. For the nine-month periods, the ~~change to a benefit from~~tax provision in 2021 is reflective of the positive income ~~taxes from a provision for income taxes in the prior year was the result of year-to-date GAAP losses~~earned at our ~~TRS in 2020.

The Corporate/Other line item in the table above includes net interest income from consolidated Legacy Sequoia entities, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, also includes $3 million and $8 million, respectively, of interest expense on our convertible debt and trust-preferred securities. While our convertible debt and trust-preferred interest expense is generally allocated to our segments, given the large balance of undeployed capital (cash) held at a corporate level during the second and third quarters of 2020, a portion of the convertible debt expense was allocated against this capital.

Results of Operations by Segment

We report on our business using three distinct segments: Residential Lending, Business Purpose Lending, and Third-Party Investments. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we combined what was previously our Multifamily Investments segment and Third-Party Residential Investments segment into a new segment called Third-Party Investments. Prior periods have been conformed to the current presentation. For additional information on our segments, refer to Note 23 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following table presents the segment contribution from our three segments reconciled to our consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

The following sections provide a discussion of the results of operations at each of our three business segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

The decrease in net ~~income~~expense from Corporate/Other for the three-month periods was primarily due to $3the reversal of $19 million of ~~convertible debt expense allocated to this segment for~~valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the third quarter of ~~2020, as discussed above.~~2021. This decrease was partially offset by higher accruals of variable compensation expense associated with improved financial results in 2021. The increase in net ~~income from Corporate/Other~~expense for the nine-month periods was primarily due to a $25 million gain associated with the repurchase of $125 million of convertible debt in the second quarter of 2020.

Residential Lending Segment

Overview

Our Residential Lending segment generated $7$39 million of net income during the third quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, driven primarily by $40 million of mortgage banking income and $12 million of net interest income from investments. Mortgage banking income increased from the second quarter of 2021, as loan purchase commitments of $3.3 billion in the third quarter were 20% higher than the second quarter and margins improved from the second quarter. Net interest income from investments increased approximately $5 million in the third quarter of 2021 from the second quarter of 2021, due to increased discount amortization on our available-for-sale securities.

Our Residential Lending segment generated $31 million of net income during the second quarter of 2021, driven primarily by $27 million of mortgage banking income and $6 million of net interest income from investments. ~~Residential mortgage~~Mortgage banking ~~activities improved significantly during~~income decreased from the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, as loan purchase commitments ~~increased to $1.20~~of $2.7 billion in the second quarter were 22% lower than the first quarter and ~~gross~~ margins ~~recovered to pre-pandemic levels.~~normalized towards the high end of our historic target range.

Our Residential Lending segment generated ~~$33~~$53 million of net income during the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021, driven primarily by $64 million of mortgage banking income and $6 million of net interest income from investments. Mortgage banking income increased significantly during the quarter, as loan purchase commitments increased 41% from the fourth quarter of 2020 driven primarily by $35 million of positive investment fair value changes. Mortgage banking income was negative for the second quarter of 2020 as we incurred incremental costs associated with the sale of our remaining loan inventory from the end of the first quarterto $3.51 billion, and ~~loan lock volumes were substantially reduced. During the second quarter, we resumed locking loans through our conduit operations, and purchased $56 million of loans during the quarter.~~

Our Residential Lending segment incurred a $199 million net loss during the first quarter of 2020, driven primarily by $197 million of negative investment fair value changes triggered by the pandemic and a $19 million net loss from mortgage banking operations, which was driven by decreased profitability on securitizations that settled later in the first quarter and from lower marks on loan inventory held at quarter-end, resulting from pandemic-related market dislocations.

~~(2)~~Represents our retained economic investment in the consolidated Sequoia Choice securitization VIEs. For GAAP purposes, we consolidated $1.84 billion of loans and $1.63 billion of ABS issued associated with these investments at September 30, 2020.

During the third quarter of 2020, we did not add or dispose of any securities within our residential lending investment portfolio. During the second quarter of 2020, we sold $29 million of securities from our residential lending investment portfolio and retained $20 million of investment securities from a $271 million Sequoia securitization we completed during the quarter. During the first quarter of 2020, we sold $83 million of securities from our residential lending investment portfolio and retained $13 million of investment securities from three Sequoia securitizations we completed during the quarter.

As a result of the economic and financial market impacts of the pandemic, the terms of our FHLBC facility evolved and in March we began entering into transactions to sell several pools of residential whole loans financed through this facility with the objective to pay down our FHLBC borrowings. During the second quarter of 2020, we completed the sale of nearly all of our residential loans previously financed at the FHLBC, and repaid all but $1 million of borrowings under this facility. We do not expect to increase borrowings under our FHLBC facility above the existing $1 million of borrowings outstanding.

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

Mortgage banking income is comprised of net interest income from loans held-for-sale in inventory and mortgage banking activities. Income from mortgage banking activities is comprised of mark-to-market adjustments on loans from the time they are purchased to when they are sold, mark-to-market adjustments on new and outstanding loan purchase commitments, gains/losses from associated hedges, and other miscellaneous income/expenses (see Note 19 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item I1 of this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q)~~10-Q for further detail).

During the three months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our residential mortgage loan conduit ~~entered into~~locked $4.74 billion of loans ($3.29 billion adjusted for expected pipeline fallout - i.e, loan purchase ~~commitments~~commitments), including $4.21 billion of ~~$2.12 billion, purchased $176 million of prime residential jumbo~~Select loans and ~~sold $89~~$0.53 billion of Choice loans, and purchased $3.18 billion of loans. Approximately 59% of loans locked in the third quarter were purchase-money loans and 41% were refinancings. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we distributed $2.43 billion of loans through whole loan sales, and completed one securitization backed by $449 million of loans ~~to third parties.~~ (unpaid principal balance).

At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~identified $1.79~~$1.34 billion of loans in inventory on our balance sheet, our loan pipeline included $2.77 billion of loans identified for purchase ~~(gross loan locks outstanding,~~(locked loans, unadjusted for fallout), and we had ~~outstanding~~entered into forward sale agreements for ~~$525~~$662 million of loans. ~~This activity resulted~~

Our gross margin (mortgage banking income earned in ~~income from mortgage banking activities of $12 million~~the period divided by loan purchase commitments entered into during the period) for the ~~third quarter of 2020.~~

~~During~~three months ended September 30, 2021 was 122 basis points, up from 98 basis points in the second quarter of 2020, our residential mortgage loan conduit entered into loan purchase commitments of $112 million, purchased $56 million of prime residential jumbo loans, and sold $711 million of loans to third parties. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2020, we transferred $271 million of loans to a Sequoia securitization. This activity, along with $2 million of repurchase reserve accrual expense and $5 million of expenses associated with resolving residential loan seller demands, resulted in a loss from mortgage banking activities of $8 million for the second quarter of 2020.

During the first quarter of 2020, our residential mortgage loan conduit entered into loan purchase commitments of $3.25 billion, purchased $2.70 billion of prime residential jumbo loans, transferred $1.62 billion of loans to a Sequoia Select securitization that were accounted for as sales, and sold $1.11 billion of jumbo loans to third parties. This activity resulted in a loss from mortgage banking activities of $23 million for the first quarter of 2020.2021.

We utilize a combination of capital and our residential loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of residential loans held-for-sale. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had residential warehouse facilities outstanding with ~~four~~seven different counterparties, with ~~$600 million~~$2.70 billion of total capacity and ~~$518 million~~$1.36 billion of available capacity. These included non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying ~~collateral)~~collateral that is non-delinquent) facilities with ~~$200 million~~$1.18 billion of total capacity and marginable facilities with ~~$400~~$1.53 billion of total capacity.

(3)Represents our retained economic investment in the consolidated Sequoia securitization VIEs. For GAAP purposes, we consolidated $2.48 billion of loans and $2.24 billion of ABS issued associated with these investments at September 30, 2021.

During the third quarter of 2021, we purchased $66 million of loans from Sequoia securitizations we called, and we retained $2 million of securities from one Sequoia securitization we completed during the quarter. During the second quarter of 2021, we purchased $83 million of loans from Sequoia securitizations we called, and we retained $8 million of securities from three Sequoia securitizations we completed during the quarter. During the first quarter of 2021, we sold $4 million of securities from our residential lending investment portfolio and retained $8 million of securities from two Sequoia securitizations we completed during the quarter. See the "Investments Detail" section that follows for additional details on our investments and their associated borrowings.

During the third quarter of 2021, net interest income from our residential lending investment portfolio was $12 million, which increased $5 million from the second quarter of 2021, and other income was $1 million in the third quarter of 2021, consistent with the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher discount accretion income on our available-for-sale securities, driven by expectations for certain of our retained Sequoia securities to be called over the next several quarters, affecting our cash flow forecasts and effective yields for those investments.

The following table presents the components of investment fair value changes for our Residential Lending segment by investment type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Strengthening credit performance helped drive spreads tighter during the three-and nine-month periods for most of our subordinate securities, which resulted in net positive fair value changes for our residential lending investments. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2021, most of our investment securities experienced elevated prepayments, which generally benefited our subordinate securities, but negatively impacted our interest-only and certificated servicing securities, causing a net negative fair value change for our trading securities.

(1)We originate bridge loans at our TRS and then transfer them to our REIT. Origination fees and any fair value changes on these loans prior to transfer are recognized within Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Once the loans are transferred to our REIT, they are classified as held-for-investment, with subsequent fair value changes generally recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). For bridge loans held at our REIT that are transferred into our CAFL bridge securitization, we record any changes in fair value from the date of origination or purchase to the time of securitization as Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Once loans are transferred into this securitization, any changes in fair value are recorded through Investment fair value changes, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). For the carrying value and activity of our bridge loans held-for-investment, see the Investments section that follows.

(2)For single-family rental loans, amounts represent the fair value of transfers of loans from held-for-sale to held-for-investment, including when loans are securitized (and consolidated for GAAP purposes). For bridge loans, represents the transfer of loans originated at our TRS to our REIT as described in preceding footnote.

Business purpose mortgage banking income was $23 million, $35 million and $32 million in the first, second and third quarters of 2021, respectively. Mortgage banking income is comprised of net interest income from single-family rental loans held-for-sale in inventory and mortgage banking activities income from single family rental and bridge loans (see Note 19 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on mortgage banking activities).

Business purpose funding volumes increased steadily through the first nine months of 2021. These growing volumes, along with improved SFR securitization execution in the second and third quarters of 2021, drove strong mortgage banking income results for those periods. Approximately 66% of total origination volumes in the third quarter were from repeat borrowers.

We utilize a combination of capital and loan warehouse facilities to manage our inventory of single-family rental loans that we hold for sale. At September 30, 2021, we had business purpose warehouse facilities outstanding with four different counterparties, with $1.30 billion of total capacity (used for both SFR and bridge loans) and $663 million 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 on the market value of the underlying collateral that is non-delinquent).

Third-Party Investments Segment

Overview

As a result of asset sales during the first half of 2020 that were driven by the impact of the pandemic, the composition of our portfolio evolved and in the second quarter of 2020 we combined our previously reported Multifamily Investments segment with our Third-Party Residential Investments segment into a new segment called Third-Party Investments.

Our Third-Party Investments ~~segment:~~segment generated ~~$98~~$30 million of net income during the third quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, driven primarily by ~~$88~~$21 million of positive investment fair value changes and ~~$10~~$12 million of net interest ~~income;~~income.

At origination, the weighted average FICO score of borrowers backing these loans was 730 and the weighted average LTV ratio of these loans was 67%. At September 30, 2020, of the 2,262 loans in this portfolio, 24 of these loans with an aggregate fair value of $33 million and an unpaid principal balance of $38 million were greater than 90 days delinquent, of which 24 loans with an aggregate fair value of $34 million and an unpaid principal balance of $40 million were in foreclosure.

During the second and third quarters of 2020, we entered into new non-recourse facilities to finance bridge loan investments and we entered into new non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral) recourse facilities that will be used to finance business purpose bridge loans. While our new non-marginable and non-recourse financing facilities have reduced our contingent liquidity risks, they generally have higher interest costs, which will marginally impact our net interest income in coming quarters.2021.

(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 ~~hybrid assets that reset between 12~~CAFL securities. We own both first loss and ~~36 months (1%).~~mezzanine positions (positions credit enhanced by subordinate securities) in multifamily and other third-party securities.

At September 30, 2021, our economic investment in this entity was $10 million (for GAAP purposes, we consolidated $167 million of HEIs and $145 million of ABS issued, as well as other assets and liabilities for this entity).

During the third quarter of 2021, in conjunction with co-sponsoring a securitization of HEIs, we purchased $122 million of additional HEIs from other contributors to the securitization (included within "Third-Party Investments" in the table above), then transferred $170 million of HEIs to the Point HEI securitization entity and issued $146 million of ABS. We retained subordinate certificates from the entity valued at $10 million as of September 30, 2021, representing our economic interest in the entity.

During the first nine months of 2021, in addition to the HEIs acquired in the third quarter described above, other new/ additional investments included MSRs retained from whole loan sales at our Residential Segment and strategic investments through our RWT Horizons venture investment strategy within Corporate/Other.

During the first nine months of 2021, reductions in investments for Third-Party Investments was primarily attributable to the recovery of servicing advances within our consolidated servicing VIEs. Our economic investment in these entities was $60 million at September 30, 2021 and $68 million at December 31, 2020.

~~The following table summarizes~~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 2021, our Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.21 per share for the third quarter of 2021, which was paid on September 30, 2021 to shareholders of record on September 23, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, our year-to-date dividend distributions of $0.55 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 ~~distributions~~we would not be able to ~~shareholders~~elect to be taxed as a REIT for ~~the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.~~four years thereafter. Such an outcome could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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

In accordance with Internal Revenue Code rules applicable to disaster losses, TRS taxable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was adjusted to recognize $59 million of losses incurred in the first quarter of 2020 into the fourth quarter of 2019.

~~Under normal circumstances,~~While our minimum REIT dividend requirement ~~would be~~is generally 90% of our annual REIT taxable ~~income. However,~~income, we ~~currently maintain~~carried a ~~$28~~$37 million federal net operating loss carry forward (NOL) into 2021 at ~~the~~our REIT that affords us the ~~option of retaining~~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. ~~If annual REIT taxable income, exclusive of the dividends paid deduction, is a taxable loss, the NOL carryforward will be increased by the taxable loss.~~

~~Our dividend characterization for 2020 will be determined based on our full-year taxable income and dividend distributions.~~ We currently expect ~~only a small portion, if any,~~all or nearly all of ~~the~~our 2021 dividend distributions to ~~shareholders in 2020 will~~ be taxable as ~~dividend~~ordinary income ~~and the remainder will~~for federal income tax purposes. Any remaining amount is currently expected to be characterized as a return of capital, which in general is ~~generally nontaxable.~~nontaxable (provided it does not exceed a shareholder's tax basis in Redwood shares) and reduces a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares (but not below zero). To the extent such distributions exceed a shareholder's basis in Redwood shares, such excess amount would be taxable as capital gain. Under the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs, none of ~~our 2020~~Redwood’s 2021 dividend distributions are currently expected to be characterized as long-term capital ~~gains.~~gain dividends. The income or loss generated at our TRS will not directly affect the tax characterization of our 2021 dividends; however, any dividends paid from our TRS to our REIT would allow a portion of our REIT’s dividends to be classified as qualified dividends.

Tax Provision under GAAP

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a tax benefit of $4 million and a tax provision of $14 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a tax provision of $9 million and a tax benefit of $13 ~~million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.1 million and a tax provision of $3~~ million, respectively. Our tax provision is primarily derived from the activities at our TRS as we do not book a material tax provision associated with income generated at our REIT. ~~The~~For the nine-month periods, the switch to a ~~benefit~~tax provision from ~~income taxes from provision for income taxes~~a tax benefit year-over-year was primarily the result of GAAP income being recorded at our TRS during this period in 2021 versus GAAP losses being recorded at our TRS during this period in ~~2020 versus TRS GAAP income in 2019. The~~2020. For the three-month periods, the switch to a tax benefit from ~~income taxes recorded in 2020~~a tax provision year-over-year was due to the release of valuation allowance on a portion of our deferred tax assets, partially offset by ~~a valuation allowance being recorded against~~an increase in state taxes. While our ~~federal net ordinary deferred tax assets. Our~~ TRS effective tax rate in ~~2020 is expected to be significantly less than~~the prior year approximated the federal statutory corporate tax rate ~~due~~(due to state NOL carryforwards), for 2021 and 2022 we expect it to increase (exclusive of the valuation allowance ~~and other permanent GAAP~~release) due to ~~tax differences. The income or~~California’s temporary suspension of net operating loss ~~generated at our TRS will not directly affect the tax characterization of our 2020 dividends.~~carryforwards.

Realization of our deferred tax assets ("DTAs") is dependent on many factors, including generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of NOL carryforwards and generating sufficient capital gains in future periods prior to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards. We determine the extent to which realization of our DTAs is not assured and establish a valuation allowance accordingly. At December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we reported net federal ordinary and capital ~~deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs"), and, as such, had no associated valuation allowance.~~

AsDTAs with a ~~result of GAAP losses at our TRS in 2020, we forecast that we will report net federal ordinary and capital DTAs at December 31, 2020 and consequently a~~full valuation allowance ~~was~~of $17 million recorded against our net federal ordinary ~~DTAs.~~DTAs based on our determination that their realization was not assured. However, no valuation allowance was recorded against our net federal capital DTAs as we currently expect to utilize these DTAs due to our ability to recognize capital losses and carry them back to prior years. At December 31, 2020, we reported a valuation allowance of $134 million recorded against our net state DTAs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we reassessed the valuation allowance noting the increase in positive evidence related to our ability to utilize certain deferred tax assets. The positive evidence includes significant revenue growth and expectations regarding future profitability at our TRS. After assessing both the positive evidence and negative evidence, we determined it was more likely than not that we will realize all of our federal deferred tax assets. Therefore, we reversed our federal valuation allowance of $17 million as a discrete benefit in the third quarter of 2021. In addition to the federal valuation allowance release, we determined it was more likely than not that we will realize a portion of our state deferred assets and, as such, reversed $3 million of state valuation allowance as a discrete item in the third quarter of 2021. Consistent with prior periods, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance against the majority of our net state ~~DTAs. Our estimate~~DTAs as realization of ~~net deferred tax assets could change in future periods to the extent that actual or revised estimates of future~~our state DTAs is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income ~~during the carryforward periods change from current expectations.~~

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Summary

In addition to the proceeds from equity and debt capital-raising transactions, our principal sources of cash consist of borrowings under mortgage loan warehouse facilities, securities repurchase agreements, payments of principal and interest we receive from our investment portfolios, proceeds from the sale of portfolio assets, and cash generated from our operating activities. Our most significant uses of cash are to purchase and originate mortgage loans for our mortgage banking operations, to purchase investment securities and make other investments, to repay principal and interest on our debt, to meet margin calls associated with our debt and other obligations, to make dividend payments on our capital stock, and to fund our operations.

At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our total capital was ~~$1.70~~$2.03 billion and included ~~$1.05~~$1.38 billion of equity capital and ~~$0.65 billion~~$652 million of convertible notes and long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet, including $199 million of convertible debt due in 2023, $150 million of convertible debt due in 2024, $172 million of exchangeable debt due in 2025, and $140 million of trust-preferred securities due in 2037.

As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our unrestricted cash was ~~$451 million.~~$557 million, and we estimate we had approximately $350 million of available capital. While we believe our available cash is sufficient to fund our operations, we may raise equity or debt capital from time to time to increase our unrestricted cash and liquidity, to repay existing debt, to make long-term portfolio investments, to fund strategic acquisitions and investments, or for other purposes. To the extent we seek to raise additional capital, our approach will continue to be based on what we believe to be in the best interests of the company.

In the discussion that follows and throughout this document, we distinguish between marginable and non-marginable debt. When we refer to non-marginable debt and marginable debt, we are referring to whether or not such debt is subject to market value-based margin calls on underlying collateral that is non-delinquent. If a mortgage loan is financed under a marginable warehouse facility, to the extent the market value of the loan declines (which market value is generally determined by the counterparty under the facility), we will be subject to a margin call, meaning we will be required to either immediately reacquire the loan or meet a margin requirement to pledge additional collateral, such as cash or additional residential loans, in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. Non-marginable debt may be subject to a margin call due to delinquency of the mortgage or security being financed, or a decline in the value of the underlying asset securing the collateral. For example, we could be subject to a margin call on non-marginable debt if an appraisal or broker price opinion indicates a decline in the value of the property securing the mortgage loan that is financed by us under a loan warehouse facility.

We also distinguish between recourse and non-recourse debt. When we refer to non-recourse debt, we mean debt that is payable solely from the assets pledged to secure such debt, and under which debt no creditor or lender has direct or indirect recourse to us, or any other entity or person (except for customary exceptions for fraud, acts of insolvency, or other "bad acts"), if such assets are inadequate or unavailable to pay off such debt.

We are subject to risks relating to our liquidity and capital resources, including risks relating to incurring debt under residential loan warehouse facilities, securities repurchase facilities, and other short- and long-term debt facilities and other risks relating to our use of derivatives. A further discussion of these risks is set forth below under the heading “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short-and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities."

Cash Flows and Liquidity for the Nine Months Ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021

Cash flows from our mortgage banking activities and our investments can be volatile from quarter to quarter depending on many factors, including the profitability of mortgage banking activities, the timing and amount of securities acquisitions, sales and repayments, ~~the profitability of mortgage banking activities,~~ as well as changes in interest rates, prepayments, and credit losses. Therefore, cash flows generated in the current period are not necessarily reflective of the long-term cash flows we will receive from these investments or activities.

During the first nine months of 2020, in response to the pandemic, we sold a significant amount of investments and repaid a significant amount of debt, which allowed us to reposition and de-lever our balance sheet and generate additional liquidity. Additionally, we entered into several new financing agreements that are non-marginable (i.e., not subject to margin calls based on the market value of the underlying collateral) and non-recourse, and have longer dated maturities than agreements they replaced that were marginable and recourse to us. While the asset sales and pay-down of debt, along with these new financing agreements, strengthened our liquidity and capital position by removing sources of contingent liquidity risk (from potential market value-based margin calls), they have also reduced our overall amount of earning assets and increased our borrowing costs. In the near-term, while we maintain a higher balance of cash, this will reduce our cash flows from operations. However, given our significant cash position, we believe we are positioned well to meet our near-term liquidity needs.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities were negative ~~$176 million~~$3.78 billion during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. This amount includes the net cash utilized during the period from the purchase and sale of residential mortgage loans and the origination and sale of our business purpose loans associated with our mortgage banking activities. Purchases of loans are financed to a large extent with short-term and long-term debt, for which changes in cash are included as a component of financing activities. Excluding cash flows from the purchase, origination, sale, and principal payments of loans classified as held-for-sale, cash flows from operating activities were positive ~~$94~~$84 million and ~~negative $123~~positive $94 million during the first nine months of ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

As a result of the pandemic, in late March we determined that our hedges were no longer effectively managing the risks associated with certain of our assets and liabilities and we settled nearly all of our outstanding derivative positions. As a result of these settlements and other hedging activity during the quarter, we made $187 million of cash payments. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, our margin receivable (which was primarily associated with our hedges), decreased by $207 million, resulting in an increase to our cash flows from operations. These changes in operating cash flows resulted from actions taken in response to the pandemic that we would generally not expect to recur at such a magnitude in subsequent periods. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received $38 million in cash related to FHLBC stock that was transferred back to the FHLBC, upon the repayment of substantially all of our borrowings from the FHLBC.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our net cash provided by investing activities was ~~$3.51~~$1.36 billion and primarily resulted from proceeds from ~~sales of loans and real estate securities, as well as~~ principal payments on ~~loans.~~loans held-for-investment. Although we generally intend to hold our loans and investment securities as long-term investments, we may sell certain of these assets in order to manage our liquidity needs and interest rate risk, to meet other operating objectives, and to adapt to market conditions.

Because many of our investment securities and loans are financed through various borrowing agreements, a significant portion of the proceeds from any sales or principal payments of these assets are generally used to repay balances under these financing sources. Similarly, all or a significant portion of cash flows from principal payments of loans at consolidated securitization entities would generally be used to repay ABS issued by those entities.

As presented in the "Supplemental Noncash Information" subsection of our consolidated statements of cash flows, during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we transferred ~~residential~~ loans between held-for-sale and held-for-investment classification and retained securities from ~~Sequoia and CAFL~~ securitizations we sponsored, ~~and deconsolidated certain multifamily residential securitization trusts,~~ which represent significant non-cash transactions that were not included in cash flows from investing activities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our net cash ~~used in~~provided by financing activities was ~~$3.11~~$2.52 billion. This primarily resulted from ~~$1.85~~$1.40 billion of proceeds from net short-term debt borrowings used to finance higher levels of loan inventory for our mortgage banking businesses, particularly for residential loans held-for-sale, as that business has seen a sustained increase in acquisition volumes. Additionally, $1.27 billion of net proceeds were generated from ABS issued. These cash inflows were partially offset by $107 million of net repayments of ~~short-term debt and $2.64 billion of repayments of~~ long-term debt, including repayments of $2.00 billion of FHLBC borrowings, which were associated with the sales of a significant amount of assets noted in the investing activities section above. Additionally, we paid $97 million to purchase and retire $125 million of our convertible debt in the second quarter of 2020, and repurchased $22 million of stock in the third quarter. These outflows of cash were partially offset by $306 million of net proceeds from the issuance and settlements of ABS issued. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had cash inflows of $1.25 billion related to borrowings under three new non-marginable facilities that were generally used to repay existing borrowings from marginable facilities.debt.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we declared dividends of ~~$0.585~~$0.55 per common share. On September ~~11, 2020,~~13, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of ~~$0.14~~$0.21 per share for the third quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, which was paid on September ~~29, 2020~~30, 2021 to shareholders of record on September ~~22, 2020.~~23, 2021.

In accordance with the terms of our outstanding deferred stock units, cash-settled deferred stock units, and restricted stock units, which are ~~stock-based~~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.

Repurchase Authorization

Loan Warehouse Facilities

We maintain loan warehouse facilities to finance our residential jumbo loan inventory, SFR loan inventory and for our bridge loan investments. These facilities can be classified as short-term or long-term depending on their specific terms and provisions. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had residential warehouse facilities outstanding with ~~four~~seven different counterparties, with ~~$600 million~~$2.70 billion of total capacity and ~~$518 million~~$1.36 billion of available capacity. These included non-marginable facilities with ~~$200 million~~$1.18 billion of total capacity and marginable facilities with ~~$400 million~~$1.53 billion of total capacity. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had business purpose warehouse facilities outstanding with four different counterparties, with ~~$1.1~~$1.30 billion of total capacity and ~~$853~~$663 million of available capacity. All $1.30 billion of these facilities are non-marginable.

Short-Term Debt

In the ordinary course of our business, we ~~use recourse debt through~~utilize several different types of borrowing facilities and use cash borrowings under these facilities to, among other things, fund the acquisition of ~~residential~~ loans (including those we acquire and originate in anticipation of securitization), finance investments in securities, BPL bridge loans and other investments, and otherwise fund our business and operations. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$483 million~~$1.75 billion of short-term debt outstanding. During the first nine months of ~~2020,~~2021, the highest balance of our short-term debt outstanding was ~~$3.23~~$2.66 billion.

For further detail on our long-term debt, see Note 15 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

~~Convertible Notes~~

During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased $29 million par value of our 5.75% exchangeable senior notes due 2025 at a discount and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $6 million in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased $50 million par value of our 5.625% convertible senior notes due 2024 at a discount and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $9 million in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased $46 million par value of our 4.75% convertible senior notes at a discount and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $10 million in Realized gains, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

~~FHLBC Borrowings~~

As a result of the economic and financial market impacts of the pandemic, the terms of our borrowing facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (our "FHLBC Facility") evolved and we decided to significantly reduce the financing we obtain from the FHLBC. During the second quarter of 2020, we completed the sale of nearly all residential loans financed through this facility and repaid all but $1 million of borrowings under this facility. We do not expect to increase borrowings under our FHLBC Facility above the existing $1 million of borrowings outstanding.

~~Non-Recourse Business Purpose Loan~~Recourse Subordinate Securities Financing ~~Facilities~~

In the third quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, a subsidiary of Redwood entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable non-recourse financing primarily for business purpose bridge loans. Borrowings under this facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.85% (with a 0.50% LIBOR floor), through July 2022. At September 30, 2020, we had borrowings under this facility totaling $158 million and $1 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs, for a net carrying value of $157 million. At September 30, 2020, $216 million of bridge loans were pledged as collateral under this facility.

In the second quarter of 2020, a subsidiary of Redwood entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable, non-recourse financing primarily for business purpose bridge loans. Borrowings under this facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 7.50% (with a 1.50% LIBOR floor), through June 2022. Borrowings under this facility may be repaid in full at our option and the facility terminated without penalty beginning in June 2021. This facility has an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of $530 million, which consists of a term facility of $355 million and a revolving facility of $175 million. The revolving period ends in June 2021, and amounts borrowed under the term and revolving facilities are due in full in June 2022. At September 30, 2020, we had borrowings under this facility totaling $302 million and $4 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs, for a net carrying value of $298 million. At September 30, 2020, $369 million of bridge loans and $25 million of other BPL investments were pledged as collateral under this facility.

~~Recourse Business Purpose Loan Financing Facilities~~

~~Recourse Subordinate Securities Financing Facility~~

~~In the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a repurchase agreement providing non-marginable~~ recourse debt financing ~~for $112 million~~ of certain securities retained from our consolidated CAFL securitizations. The financing is ~~fully and unconditionally~~ guaranteed by Redwood, with an interest rate of approximately ~~4.21%~~4.75% through ~~February 2023.~~June 2024. The financing facility may be terminated, at our option, in ~~February~~June 2023, and has a final maturity in ~~February 2025,~~June 2026, provided that the interest rate on amounts outstanding under the facility increases between ~~March 2023~~June 2024 and ~~February 2025.~~June 2026.

~~Recourse Revolving Debt Facility~~Non-Recourse BPL Financing Facilities

In the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, we reclassified one of our non-recourse facilities from long-term to short-term debt as the maturity of this facility was less than one year at September 30, 2021.

In the second quarter of 2021, we repaid one of our non-recourse BPL financing facilities that had a ~~subsidiary~~balance of ~~Redwood~~$242 million at March 31, 2021, and entered into a ~~secured revolving debt~~new non-recourse facility ~~agreement collateralized by MSRs and certificated mortgage servicing rights.

Asset-Backed Securities Issued

During the first quarter of 2020, we sold subordinate securities issued by four Freddie Mac K-Series securitization trusts we previously consolidated and determined that we should derecognize the associated assets and liabilities of each of these entities for financial reporting purposes. As a result, during the first quarter of 2020, we deconsolidated $3.86 billion of multifamily loans and other assets and $3.72 billion of multifamily ABS issued.

~~COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Mortgage Payment Forbearances~~

In response to the personal financial impacts of the pandemic, many residential mortgage borrowers have sought, or are seeking, forbearance with respect to monthly mortgage payment obligations. We are exposed to the negative financial impact of COVID-19 related payment forbearances with respect to loans securitized in Sequoia transactions, loans held for investment or sale, and a variety of other investments, including third-party issued mortgage-backed securities, mortgage servicing rights and related cash flows, and re-performing residential mortgage loans. Business purpose mortgage loan borrowers may also seek payment forbearances. In addition, transactions we have entered into, including to finance loans with warehouse financing providers and to sell whole loans to third parties, may be negatively impacted by COVID-19 related payment forbearances, including by reducing our proceeds from these transactions or if we are required to repurchase impacted loans.

~~Mortgage Servicing~~ ~~AdvanceObligations~~

Redwood's liquidity exposure to advancing obligations associated with residential mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) is primarily related to our Sequoia private-label residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS). The residential mortgage loans backing our Sequoia securities were generally originated as prime quality residential mortgage loans with strong credit characteristics. These loans were sourced from our residential mortgage platform through our network of loan sellers, including banks and independent mortgage companies, and were acquired after undergoing our review and underwriting process.

We outsource our residential mortgage servicing activity to third-party sub-servicers and do not directly service residential mortgage loans. We carry out a servicing oversight function and, in some cases, are obligated to reimburse our sub-servicers when they fund advances of principal and interest (P&I), taxes and insurance (T&I), and certain other amounts related to securitized mortgage loans.

~~As of September 30, 2020, we had no servicing advances outstanding related to principal and interest on Sequoia securitized loans for which we had servicing advance funding obligations.~~

Risks Relating to Debt Incurred Under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities

As described above under the heading “Results of Operations,” in the ordinary course of our business, we use debt financing obtained through several different types of borrowing facilities to, among other things, finance the acquisition and origination of residential and ~~acquisition of~~business purpose mortgage loans (including those we acquire and originate ~~or acquire~~ in anticipation of sale or securitization), and finance investments in securities and other investments. We may also use short- and long-term borrowings to fund other aspects of our business and operations, including the repurchase of shares of our common ~~stock or outstanding~~stock. Recourse debt ~~securities. Debt~~ incurred under these facilities is generally either the direct obligation of Redwood Trust, Inc., or the direct obligation of subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. and guaranteed by Redwood Trust, Inc. Risks relating to debt incurred under these facilities are described in Part I, Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities,” and under the caption “Our use of financial leverage exposes us to increased risks, including liquidity risks from margin calls and potential breaches of the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities, which could result in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements” in Part ~~II,~~I, Item 1A of our ~~Quarterly~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-Q~~10-K for the ~~quarter~~year ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2020 (the "Q1 2020 10-Q").~~2020. Many of the risks described above materialized during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of ~~the pandemic~~pandemic- and ~~its impact~~liquidity-related disruptions and their impacts on the economy and financial markets, as described under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” within our ~~Q1 2020~~ Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q.~~10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Our sources of debt financing include secured borrowings under residential and business purpose mortgage loan warehouse facilities (including recourse and non-recourse warehouse facilities), short-term securities repurchase facilities, a $10 million committed line of short-term secured credit from a bank, short-term servicer advance financing, a secured, revolving debt facility collateralized by mortgage servicing rights, and subordinate securities financing facilities. During the second quarter of 2020, we repaid secured borrowings by our wholly-owned subsidiary, RWT Financial, LLC, under its borrowing facility with the FHLBC and at September 30, 2020, $1 million of advances remained outstanding. We do not expect to be able to increase borrowings under this borrowing facility above the existing $1 million of advances outstanding.

~~101~~

Aggregate borrowing limits are stated under certain of these facilities, and certain other facilities have no stated borrowing limit, but many of the facilities are uncommitted, which means that any request we make to borrow funds under these uncommitted facilities may be declined for any reason, even if at the time of the borrowing request we have then-outstanding borrowings that are less than the borrowing limits under these facilities. In general, financing under these facilities is obtained by transferring or pledging mortgage loans or securities to the counterparty in exchange for cash proceeds (in an amount less than 100% of the principal amount of the transferred or pledged assets).

Under many of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities, our short-term securities repurchase facilities, and our secured, revolving debt facility collateralized by mortgage service rights, while transferred or pledged assets are financed under the facility, to the extent the value of the assets, or the collateral underlying those assets, declines, we are generally required to either immediately reacquire the assets or meet a margin requirement to transfer or pledge additional assets or cash in an amount at least equal to the decline in value. During the second quarter of 2020, we amended several of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities to revise these margin call provisions to remove obligations to make margin calls for changes in the market value of transferred or pledged assets, which determinations of market value were generally within the sole discretion of the lending counterparty. Under these revised agreements, if the estimated value of a property securing a financed mortgage loan declines, based on, for example, an appraisal or broker-price opinion, then the creditor may demand that we transfer additional collateral to the creditor (in the form of cash, U.S. Treasury obligations (in certain cases), or additional residential mortgage loans) with a value equal to the amount of the decline. Of our active financing arrangements with outstanding balances at September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, only our short-term securities repurchase facilities (with ~~$75~~$80 million of borrowings outstanding at September 30, ~~2020)~~2021), and ~~two~~four of our residential mortgage loan warehouse facilities (with $8$618 million of borrowings outstanding at September 30, ~~2020)~~2021) retain market-value based margin call provisions.

Margin call provisions under these facilities are further described in Part I, Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 under the caption “Risks Relating to Debt Incurred under Short- and Long-Term Borrowing Facilities - Margin Call Provisions Associated with Short-Term Debt and Other Debt Financing.” Financial covenants included in these facilities are further described Part I, Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 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.”

103

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, ~~2019~~2020 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, ~~2019~~2020 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, ~~2019~~2020 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, ~~2019~~2020 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, ~~2020,~~2021, and through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with the financial covenants associated with our short-term debt and other debt financing facilities. However, significant and widespread decreases in the fair values of our assets, including decreases of the magnitude that resulted from the impact of the pandemic during the first quarter of 2020, could cause us to breach the financial covenants under our borrowing facilities related to net worth and leverage. In particular, ~~during the first and second quarters of 2020, we amended~~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, 2021 our level of stockholders’ equity and tangible net worth resulted in our being in compliance with these covenants by more than $200 million; and (ii) financial covenants that require us to maintain recourse indebtedness below a specified ratio ~~and financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum dollar amount~~at Redwood, at September 30, 2021 our level of liquidity in certain borrowing agreements on a permanent basis, and we repaid and suspended certain other borrowing facilities; however, we cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain compliance with such amended covenants. Such covenants, if breached, can resultrecourse indebtedness resulted in our being ~~required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under~~in compliance with these ~~facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements, and other risks described under the caption “Our use of financial leverage exposes us to increased risks, including liquidity risks from margin calls and potential breaches of the financial~~ covenants ~~under our borrowing facilities, which~~at a level such that we could ~~result~~incur at least $600 million in our being required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts borrowed under these facilities and these facilities being unavailable to use for future financing needs, as well as triggering cross-defaults under other debt agreements~~” in Part II, Item 1A of our Q1 2020 10-Q.~~additional recourse indebtedness.

~~102~~104

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions that may require future cash payments. As required by GAAP, some of these obligations are recorded on the balance sheet, while others are off-balance sheet or recorded on the balance sheet in amounts different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction.

For additional information on our contractual obligations, see the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations section in the MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

For additional information on our commitments and contingencies as of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, see Note 16 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies is included in Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Management discusses the ongoing development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the board of directors.

We expect quarter-to-quarter GAAP earnings volatility from our business activities. This volatility can occur for a variety of reasons, including the timing and amount of purchases, sales, calls, and repayment of consolidated assets, changes in the fair values of consolidated assets and liabilities, increases or decreases in earnings from mortgage banking activities, and certain non-recurring events. In addition, the amount or timing of our reported earnings may be impacted by technical accounting issues and estimates. Our critical accounting policies and the possible effects of changes in estimates on our consolidated financial statements are included in the "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section of Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

In addition to the regular volatility we may experience on a quarterly basis, the ongoing impact of the pandemic on the United States economy, homeowners, renters of housing, the housing market, the mortgage finance markets and the broader financial markets, has caused additional volatility impacting many of our estimates. It is difficult to fully assess the impact of the pandemic at this time, including because of the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the pandemic domestically and internationally, as well as the uncertainty around the efficacy of Federal, State and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to its direct and indirect impacts on many aspects of Americans’ lives and economic activity. Continued volatility resulting from the pandemic could impact our critical estimates and lead to significant period-to-period earnings volatility.

Market Risks

We seek to manage risks inherent in our business — including but not limited to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, and fair value risk — in a prudent manner designed to enhance our earnings and dividends and preserve our capital. In general, we seek to assume risks that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage such risks, and to maintain capital levels consistent with these risks. Information concerning the risks we are managing, how these risks are changing over time, and potential GAAP earnings and taxable income volatility we may experience as a result of these risks is discussed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Other Risks

In addition to the market and other risks described above, our business and results of operations are subject to a variety of types of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,~~ 2020.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

A discussion of new accounting standards and the possible effects of these standards on our consolidated financial statements is included in Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

~~103~~105

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Information concerning market risk is incorporated herein by reference to Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, as supplemented by the information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Market Risks” within Item 2 above. Other than the developments described thereunder, including changes in the fair values of our assets, there have been no other material changes in our quantitative or qualitative exposure to market risk since December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed on our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of ~~2020~~2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

~~104~~106

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

~~There is no significant update regarding~~For information on our legal proceedings, see Note 16 to the ~~litigation matters described in Part I, Item 3 in Redwood’s Annual~~Financial Statements within this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019~~10-Q under the heading ~~“Legal Proceedings.” At September 30, 2020,~~"Loss Contingencies - Litigation, Claims and Demands," which supplements the ~~aggregate amount of loss contingency reserves established~~disclosures included in ~~respect of~~Note 16 to the ~~FHLB-Seattle and Schwab litigation matters described~~Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019 was $2 million.~~

~~In addition to those matters, as previously disclosed, in connection with~~2020 under the ~~impact of the effects of the pandemic on the non-Agency mortgage finance market~~heading “Loss Contingencies - Litigation, Claims and on our business and operations, a number of the counterparties that have regularly sold residential mortgage loans to us believe that we breached perceived obligations to them, and requested or demanded that we purchase loans from them and/or compensate them for perceived damages resulting from our decisions earlier in 2020 not to purchase certain loans from them (“Residential Loan Seller Demands”).

With respect to certain of the Residential Loan Seller Demands, these resolution discussions have been successful in resolving, or establishing a framework that we believe will be the basis for successfully resolving, the demands of these counterparties, including through forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements that incentivize both the counterparty and us to continue to engage in residential loan purchase and sale transactions in the future. With respect to these counterparties, we have incurred or expect to incur certain costs in connection with finalizing these arrangements (including costs that are contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with these counterparties that we expect to generate future revenue for the Company) and have recorded any such actual costs incurred through September 30, 2020, as well as an accrual for the estimated costs associated with counterparties where a resolution or go-forward framework has been agreed to or has been discussed but not finalized. In accordance with GAAP, the accrual for estimated costs is based on the opinion of management, that it is probable that these resolutions and forward-looking joint business undertakings and structured arrangements will result in an expense and the amount of expense can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of our accrual for estimated costs associated with Residential Loan Seller Demands was $6.5 million, a portion of which would be contingent on the successful completion of future residential loan purchase and sale transactions with these counterparties, with the expectation of generating future revenue for the Company. In addition, as previously disclosed, one such counterparty filed a breach of contract lawsuit against us in May 2020 alleging that it had suffered in excess of $2 million of losses as a result of our alleged failure to purchase residential mortgage loans from it; and in October 2020 we and the plaintiff agreed to settle the lawsuit on mutually satisfactory terms.

With respect to Residential Loan Seller Demands that have not been resolved or accrued for, our beliefs about the legal merits of these allegations and our discussions with these counterparties have resulted in us determining that a significant loss from these matters is not probable. With respect to these remaining Residential Loan Seller Demands, based on the foregoing, we have concluded that we can estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demands of between zero and $1.5 million.

Future developments (including receipt of additional information and documents relating to these matters, new or additional resolution or settlement communications relating to these matters, resolutions of similar claims against other industry participants in similar circumstances, or receipt of additional Residential Loan Seller Demands) could result in our concluding in the future to establish additional accruals or reserves or modify our aggregate range of reasonably possible losses with respect to these Residential Loan Seller Demand matters. Our actual losses, and any accruals or reserves we may establish in the future relating to these matters, may be materially higher than the accruals, reserves and the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses we have estimated above, respectively, including in the event that any of these matters proceed to trial and result in a judgment against us. We cannot be certain that any of these matters that are not already formally resolved will be resolved through a resolution or settlement and we cannot be certain that the resolution of these matters, whether through litigation, settlement, or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future period.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In February 2018, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for the repurchase of our common stock, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchases of common stock to $100 million, and also authorized the repurchase of outstanding debt securities, including convertible and exchangeable debt. This authorization increased the previous share repurchase authorization approved in February 2016 and has no expiration date. This repurchase authorization does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. Under this authorization, shares or securities may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the three months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we ~~repurchased 3,047,335 shares of our common stock pursuant to this authorization for $22 million.~~did not repurchase any shares. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, $78 million of this 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.
