Positive
  • GAAP net income of $13.1 million ($0.09 per share)
  • 6.25% increase in quarterly dividend to $0.17 per share
  • Strong mortgage banking performance with $2.2 billion in loan locks
  • Successful distribution of $1.5 billion in jumbo loans through securitizations
  • Low investment portfolio recourse leverage ratio of 0.7x
Negative
  • Decline in lock volume from $2.7 billion in Q2 to $2.2 billion in Q3
  • Increase in 90+ day delinquency rates for Residential Investor portfolio from 5.4% to 6.5%
  • Increase in recourse leverage ratio from 2.1x to 2.5x

Insights

The Q3 2024 results demonstrate solid performance with several positive indicators. GAAP net income of $13.1 million ($0.09 per share) and non-GAAP EAD of $25.2 million ($0.18 per share) show stable earnings. The 6.25% dividend increase to $0.17 per share signals management's confidence in sustainable cash flows.

Notable strengths include exceptional gross margins in residential mortgage banking, strong capital deployment of $157 million and robust distribution capabilities evidenced by $1.5 billion in jumbo loan securitizations. However, increased delinquency rates in the Residential Investor portfolio (up to 6.5% from 5.4%) warrant monitoring.

The recourse leverage ratio increase to 2.5x from 2.1x, while manageable, should be watched. The company maintains healthy liquidity with $254 million in unrestricted cash and $300 million in unencumbered assets.

Market conditions are showing favorable shifts for Redwood's business model. The 27% refinance activity in quarterly flow volume (up from 12%) indicates growing opportunities in the refinancing market. The 1.8x increase in fixed-rate bulk volume from banks suggests strengthening partnerships with traditional lenders.

The company's strategic positioning in both consumer and investor mortgage segments provides diversification benefits. The expansion into ARM guidelines and strong securitization execution demonstrate adaptability to market demands. With $4.8 billion in warehouse financing capacity, Redwood is well-positioned to capitalize on market opportunities as monetary policy potentially becomes more accommodative.

  • Launched an expanded set of ARM guidelines within our Residential Consumer platform
  • Completed an opportunistic $40 million reopening of our 7.75% convertible notes due 2027; predominant use of proceeds was to repurchase convertible notes due 2025, effectively extending the maturity of our convertible debt outstanding

"Our operating platforms delivered their strongest performance in over three years, underscoring our deepening partnerships, sustained product demand and enhanced distribution capabilities,” said Christopher Abate, Chief Executive Officer of Redwood Trust. "As evidenced by the recent increase to our common dividend, our results reflect continued progress in growing earnings and deploying capital accretively."

Continued Abate, “As we progress through the final quarter of the year, we are excited to embrace this new chapter for our Company, with several favorable tailwinds propelling us forward. A more accommodative monetary policy and increasing clarity in bank regulations underscore the opportunity we see for Redwood. We are witnessing increased demand for our products in the non-Agency market and are well-positioned to leverage our leadership, expertise, and innovative solutions to meet this growing need.”

  1. Economic return on book value is based on the period change in GAAP book value per common share plus dividends declared per common share in the period.
  2. Earnings available for distribution is a non-GAAP measure. See Non-GAAP Disclosures section that follows for additional information on this measure.
  3. Recourse leverage ratio is defined as recourse debt at Redwood divided by tangible stockholders' equity. Recourse debt excludes $14.3 billion of consolidated securitization debt (ABS issued and servicer advance financing), other liabilities and other debt that is non-recourse to Redwood, and tangible stockholders' equity excludes $44.6 million of goodwill and intangible assets.
  4. Lock volume represents loans identified for purchase from loan sellers. Lock volume does not account for potential fallout from pipeline that typically occurs through the lending process.
  5. Re-performing loan ("RPL") and jumbo securities delinquency rate calculations are weighted by notional balances of loans collateralizing each of our securities investments. Bridge loan and CAFL securities delinquency rates are calculated as BPL term loans in our consolidated CAFL securitizations, loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held for sale with a delinquent payment greater than 90 days, divided by the total notional balance of loans in consolidated CAFL securitizations, loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held for sale. Calculation excludes third-party purchased bridge loans.
  6. Secured recourse leverage ratio for our Investment Portfolio is defined as secured recourse debt financing our investment portfolio assets divided by capital allocated to our investment portfolio.
  7. Represents Q4'24 activity through October 29, 2024 unless otherwise noted.
  8. Includes securitizations and sales that have priced but not yet closed as of October 29, 2024.

Analysis of Income Statement - Changes from Second Quarter 2024 to Third Quarter 2024

  • Net interest income increased from the second quarter due to accretive capital deployment, partially offset by a full quarter of expense on recently issued unsecured notes and lower interest income from residential consumer mortgage banking.
  • Income from Residential Consumer Mortgage Banking increased from the second quarter, driven by a combination of spread tightening on securitization execution throughout the quarter and hedge outperformance. Gain on sale margins increased and were above our historic target range of 75 – 100 basis points.
  • Income from Residential Investor Mortgage Banking activities increased slightly from the second quarter on relatively consistent volume and margins relative to the second quarter.
  • Fair value changes on our Investment Portfolio in the third quarter primarily reflected improved credit performance and spread tightening on our SEMT and SLST securities, offset by incremental negative fair value changes on our bridge loans.
  • HEI income, net decreased in the third quarter, as actual and projected trends in home price appreciation slowed, resulting in lower fair market value changes compared to the second quarter 2024.
  • General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased from the second quarter primarily as a result of higher performance-based variable and equity compensation expenses relative to the second quarter given improved year-to-date earnings performance.
  • Our provision for income taxes in the third quarter increased as a result of improved results from both our Residential Consumer and Residential Investor Mortgage Banking platforms.

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

  2. EAD Net contribution and EAD Net contribution ROC are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net contribution and GAAP Return on capital ("GAAP ROC" or "ROC"), respectively. GAAP ROC is defined as: GAAP Net contribution by segment adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net (as applicable); (ii) exclude realized gains and losses (as applicable); (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. Each of these adjustments to arrive at EAD Net contribution are the same adjustments used to calculate EAD, as applicable to each segment for which it is being calculated. EAD Net contribution ROC presents a measure of profitability relative to the amount of capital utilized in the operations of each segment during a period and is calculated by dividing annualized non-GAAP EAD Net contribution by the average capital utilized by the segment during the period. Management utilizes these measures internally in analyzing each of the Company’s business segments’ contribution to EAD. See prior page for a further description of how management utilizes EAD and why EAD may assist investors, as well as limitations related to using EAD-based metrics. We caution that EAD Net contribution and EAD Net contribution ROC should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as alternatives to GAAP Net Contribution, GAAP ROC or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP.
  3. Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend, CoreVest and 5 Arches acquisitions.
