"We have utilized our strong liquidity position to deploy capital into accretive investments, support the growth of our operating platforms and repay convertible debt. We made swift progress on operating efficiency goals we conveyed to the market. Residential Consumer lock volumes and securitization activity reached their highest levels since the beginning of the Fed hiking cycle, even as rates remain elevated, benefiting from the partnerships we established in 2023. We also successfully closed our multi-pronged strategic capital partnership with CPP Investments, a major step in the evolution of our business model that we believe will help support our story and our growth in the years to come."
Abate continued, "Overall, our first quarter results are reflective of tangible, positive financial momentum, substantiating the impact of our strategies. As we communicated at our Investor Day in March, we believe the embedded option value of our franchise is significant and we remain confident that there is no one better positioned than Redwood to support the evolving housing finance landscape."

Analysis of Income Statement - Changes from Fourth Quarter 2023 to First Quarter 2024
- Net interest income increased from the fourth quarter as a result of accretive capital deployment and improved interest income on bridge loans in part due to a recovery of delinquent interest.
- Income from Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking improved from the fourth quarter driven by higher volumes and consistent margins.
- Income from Residential Investor Mortgage Banking increased from the fourth quarter, driven by improved securitization economics. Overall volumes were effectively flat quarter over quarter.
- Net positive fair value changes on our Investment Portfolio in the first quarter primarily reflected tightening of credit spreads across our securities portfolio and improved valuations on our bridge loans as credit performance stabilized.
- HEI income, net decreased in the first quarter, as actual and projected trends in prepayments slowed, offset in part by market improvement in HPA forecasts.
- Realized gains in the first quarter reflect gains on extinguishment of corporate convertible debt and securitized debt that we repurchased during the quarter.
- General and administrative expenses increased from the fourth quarter primarily as a result of organizational restructuring costs from a reduction in force in the first quarter, which are not reflected in Earnings Available for Distribution.
- Our provision for income taxes in the first quarter reflected net income earned at our taxable REIT subsidiary, driven by higher mortgage banking income and fair value increases on certain servicing investments.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we changed our calculation of EAD and conformed all prior period amounts presented in the table above and throughout this earnings release. This change consisted of removing the previously presented line item titled "Change in economic basis of investments". Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2023, we changed our consolidated income statements to include a new line item titled "HEI income, net". This line item includes all amounts related to our HEI investments that were previously presented within the "Investment fair value changes, net" line item. As such, our adjustment for "Investment fair value changes, net" in our current calculation of EAD does not include fair value changes related to our HEI investments.

EAD and EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders and GAAP ROE, respectively. EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity. We believe EAD and EAD ROE provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. Management also believes that EAD and EAD ROE are metrics that can supplement its analysis of the Company’s ability to pay dividends, by providing an indication of the current income generating capacity of the Company's business operations as of the quarter being presented. EAD and EAD ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes.

Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts within that same line item on our consolidated statements of income, which primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments (excluding HEI) and associated hedges. As noted above, realized and unrealized gains and losses on our HEI investments are reflected in a new line item on our consolidated income statements titled "HEI income, net".
|
|
(5)
|
|
Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts within that line item on our consolidated statements of income.
|
|

|
|
Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend, CoreVest and 5Arches acquisitions.
|
|
(7)
|
|
Organizational restructuring charges for the first quarter of 2024 represent costs associated with employee severance and related transition expenses.
|
|
(8)
|
|
Tax effect of adjustments represents the hypothetical income taxes associated with all adjustments used to calculate EAD.
|
|
(9)
|
|
EAD ROE is calculated by dividing EAD by average common equity for each respective period.
