The Company enters into transactions with subsidiary trust entities that are established for limited purposes. One of the Company’s subsidiary trust entities, MSR Issuer Trust, is utilized for financing MSR through repurchase agreements, pursuant to which, through two of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, MSR is pledged to MSR Issuer Trust and in return, MSR Issuer Trust issued variable funding notes (“VFNs”) to one of the subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding repurchase facilities with three financing counterparties that were secured by the VFNs issued by MSR Issuer Trust, which were collateralized by portions of the Company’s MSR portfolio.
Another of the Company’s subsidiary trust entities, Servicing Advance Receivables Issuer Trust, was formed for the purpose of financing servicing advances through a revolving credit facility, pursuant to which Servicing Advance Receivables Issuer Trust issued a VFN backed by servicing advances pledged to the financing counterparty.
Both MSR Issuer Trust and Servicing Advance Receivables Issuer Trust are considered VIEs for financial reporting purposes and were reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. As the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the trusts 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 is the primary beneficiary and, thus, consolidates the trusts. Additionally, in accordance with arrangements entered into in connection with the formation of both MSR Issuer Trust and Servicing Advance Receivables Issuer Trust, the Company has direct financial obligations payable to both trusts, which, in turn, support the trusts’ obligations to the financing counterparties.
The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of all consolidated trusts as reported on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
