"Our first quarter results reflect the power of our platform and the impact of recent initiatives in driving earnings and book value higher," said Christopher Abate, Chief Executive Officer of Redwood. "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."
_____________________
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 $11.6 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 $49 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 were updated in Q4'23 to be weighted by notional balances of loans collateralizing each of our securities investments (prior periods presented were conformed to updated calculation). Bridge loan and CAFL securities delinquency rates are calculated as BPL term loans in our consolidated CAFL securitizations, our portion of 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, our portion of loans held at JVs, unsecuritized bridge loans held for investment, and bridge and term loans held for sale.
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.To promote long-term strategic alignment, CPP Investments received warrants exercisable for 1,974,905 share of RWT common stock, with a second tranche of warrants exercisable for 4,608,112 shares of RWT common stock that will vest if certain JV deployment targets are achieved. The warrants were struck at $7.76 per share and have anti-dilution mechanics including a mandatory conversion feature. As of March 31, 2024, the warrants had no impact on EPS.
8.Annual run-rate savings exclude organizational restructuring charges recorded in Q1'24.
9.Represents Q2'24 activity through April 29, 2024 unless otherwise noted.

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.

1.Certain totals may not foot due to rounding.
2.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.
3.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.
4.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.
6.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.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Our fourth quarter commentary focused on the actions we took in 2023 to lay the groundwork for our future positioning. We created substantial capital flexibility, built significant inroads with regional banks, and repositioned our balance sheet to take advantage of the increased prominence of private capital in housing finance.
The first quarter of 2024 brought decisive progress, substantiating the impact of our strategies. We delivered strong increases in both GAAP earnings and earnings available for distribution (“EAD”), and higher book value per share. The capital we raised in the fourth quarter was largely deployed into accretive investments and to retire upcoming corporate debt maturities. Residential Consumer lock volumes reached their highest level since the beginning of the Fed tightening cycle, despite multi-decade lows in housing transaction activity. We made significant progress towards the refreshed operating efficiency goals we conveyed to the market in late March. In addition, the successful closing on our partnership with CPP Investments (“CPP”) was an important milestone in the evolution of our business model that we expect to help support our growth in the years to come.
We believe we're at a critical crossroads in how private capital funds homeownership and overall housing investment. Last year, we unveiled a key strategic goal of evolving our investment approach, deploying capital side-by-side with institutional partners while driving organic scale within our operating platforms. We believe this evolution will dramatically evolve our revenue mix over time and deliver differentiated income streams to shareholders. The CPP partnership brings us certainty of capital, more predictable cash flow streams through recurring fee-based income, and helps unlock the operating leverage of our platforms. Overall, the $750 million transaction consists of $500 million of joint venture equity – sized to purchase up to $4 billion of Residential Investor loans – and provides flexible liquidity through a new $250 million secured revolving financing facility, well-suited to address the anticipated growth trajectory for our Residential Consumer business.
The first quarter of 2024 validated the unique opportunity for our Residential Consumer business to drive volumes and profitability amidst persistently higher rates and continued record low housing transaction activity. We locked $1.8 billion of loans during the quarter, a 53% increase from the fourth quarter of 2023. Lock volume was supported by strength in both flow activity from banks and bulk purchases. The business delivered a 17% return on capital on the strength of three accretive securitizations totaling $1.2 billion, a monthly issuance cadence that drives efficient capital turnover at increased volumes. Issuance spreads have continued to tighten and early in the second quarter of 2024 we have already priced our fourth securitization of 2024 at the tightest pricing levels of the year thus far.
Our first quarter jumbo lock volume mix reflected increased wallet share across our network of loan sellers, with bank lock volume higher from the fourth quarter even as overall mortgage production at banks fell. Additionally, we witnessed a doubling of our quarterly lock volume with independent mortgage bankers (“IMBs”), as relationships with these partners provide a longstanding strategic moat for the business that remains critical to growing market share going forward. Of our total lock volume

for the quarter, 30% came from bulk acquisitions, an exciting development as our enhanced capital position will allow us to continue to be more aggressive in this channel and pursue larger, seasoned portfolios that complement on-the-run production.
Collectively, these metrics reflect the unique value our franchise brings to both sellers and investors. Though we’d all like to see mortgage rates stabilize, the recent backup in rates has further incentivized banks to work with us. We’ve also observed more banks looking to pursue and demonstrate early compliance with anticipated Basel “endgame” risk-based capital rule changes, a dynamic that supports both increased purchase volumes and other related investment opportunities from our bank partners.
An extended period of higher rates also makes our work offering home equity investment options (“HEI”) through our Aspire platform all the more important. We directly originated our first HEI contracts through Aspire in the first quarter, a significant milestone that we have since built on by growing our geographical footprint to include additional states. As mortgage rates hover well above 7%, the buoyancy of prices for single-family homes has preserved homeowner equity that many are still unable to access, making HEI and other related products all the more critical. While traditional secondary financing products remain an important source of liquidity for consumers, and will remain a focus of ours, they still fall short of addressing the needs for many homeowners. Additionally, we expect to continue differentiating both our HEI and traditional home equity products with structures that reflect the needs of today’s consumers.
Within our Residential Investor platform, our priorities remain prudently growing top-line revenue, proactively managing credit risk, and returning the business to sustained profitability. For the first quarter, we funded $326 million of loans, effectively flat from fourth quarter volumes. Revenue margins and segment profitability improved quarter over quarter, driven by tightening securitization spreads. Volume trends picked up later in the first quarter, and given recent volatility in benchmark interest rates, we built important momentum in less rate-sensitive products, including single-asset bridge loans. We enter the second quarter with a growing pipeline, as more borrowers come to accept the current rate environment and lock in coupons. However, pullthrough volumes in our term business remain particularly susceptible to rate volatility, as the cost of long-term debt is a key element for sponsors of stabilized projects.
Distribution channels for our Residential Investor loans remain open and are benefiting from a firmer overall market tone. First quarter bridge production was largely distributed into our Oaktree joint venture and our three revolving bridge securitizations. With the CPP partnership in place, we are finalizing warehouse financing for the joint venture and expect to begin selling both bridge and term loan production to this new vehicle in the second quarter.
Delinquencies within our term and bridge loan portfolios remained stable quarter over quarter and we have continued to emphasize disciplined underwriting and product selection. Since late 2022, our Residential Investor production mix has remained predominantly focused on single-family loans where credit fundamentals remain strong, a trend we are also seeing in our investment portfolio where
delinquencies in our re-performing loan (“RPL”) portfolio have hit three-year lows and LTVs have moved steadily lower.
As we reflect on the recent 30th anniversary since our founding, our Investor Day in mid-March provided a forum to highlight the important role we’ve played in supporting the housing market over that span. We have grown and institutionalized products that others thought would never scale, and we have re-opened securitization markets after several crises when others lacked conviction. Through it all, we have maintained an unwavering commitment to upholding our corporate mission and values. As we ponder the next 30 years in a time where access to quality housing has never been further out of reach for many American households, we plan to continue playing a key role in supplying capital to underserved parts of the housing market, particularly areas that government loan programs don’t adequately reach.
Thank you for your continued support,

28 Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”) and EAD Return on Capital (“EAD ROE”) EAD and EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders and GAAP return on common equity (“GAAP ROE”), respectively. EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes; (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 those adjustments. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity. We believe EAD and EAD ROE provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. Management also believes that EAD and EAD ROE are metrics that can supplement its analysis of the Company’s ability to pay dividends, by providing an indication of the current income generating capacity of the Company's business operations as of the quarter being presented. EAD and EAD ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common shares, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes. Footnotes: 1. Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts within that same line item on our consolidated statements of income, which primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments (excluding HEI) and associated hedges. 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”. 2. Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts within that line item on our consolidated statements of income. 3. Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend, CoreVest and 5 Arches acquisitions. 4. Organizational restructuring charges for the first quarter of 2024 represent costs associated with employee severance and related transition expenses. 5. The tax effect of adjustments represent the hypothetical income taxes associated with all adjustments used to calculate EAD.

29 EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net Contribution and GAAP Return on Capital, respectively. EAD Net Contribution presents a measure of the profitability of our business operations and is defined as GAAP Net Contribution 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. 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 Return on Capital 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 slide for a further description of how management utilizes EAD and why EAD may assist investors, as well as limitations related to using EAD-based metrics. We caution that EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as alternatives to GAAP Net Contribution, GAAP Return on Capital or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net contribution from our segments, reconciled to EAD Net Contribution, and the associated GAAP return on capital and non-GAAP EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital.
