Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted according to such SEC rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures included in these interim consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of all subsidiaries; inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All trust entities in which the Company holds investments that are considered variable interest entities, or VIEs, for financial reporting purposes were reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. Whenever the Company has both the power to direct the activities of a trust that most significantly impact the entities’ performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entities that could be significant, the Company consolidates the trust. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at March 31, 2025 and results of operations for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, the amount and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of certain assets and liabilities sufficient to recover unrealized losses in those assets and liabilities, 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 period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand in the market, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from its estimates and the differences may be material.
Significant Accounting Policies
Included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s December 31, 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Recently Issued and/or Adopted Accounting Standards
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, which requires entities to provide additional information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and reconciling items in the rate reconciliation table, and to disclose further disaggregation of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal (national), state and foreign taxes by jurisdiction. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively, but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively for each period presented. The Company has determined this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, which requires public entities to disclose specific expense categories, including employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization expenses, in the notes to financial statements on both an annual and interim basis. The guidance also requires a qualitative description of amounts that are not disaggregated quantitatively. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Issuer’s Accounting for Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion or a debt extinguishment. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted for entities that have adopted ASU No. 2020-06. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures
In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, issued Release No. 33-11275, its final rule on the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures for investors requiring registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC stayed implementation of the final rule pending completion of judicial review. In March 2025, the SEC stated that it has ended its defense of the rule. The Company will continue to monitor any developments and assess the potential impact of the rule on its disclosures.
