Other, Net

Other, net includes brokerage and commission fees, due diligence costs, securitization expenses, interest on custodial balances, and items whose amounts, either individually or in the aggregate, would not, in the opinion of management, be meaningful to readers of the financial statements. Given the nature of certain components of this line item, balances may fluctuate from period to period. Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $9.3 million, compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 2025, primarily attributable to an increase in interest on custodial balances, advisory income, conduit transaction fees, and an increase in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by an increase in trading activity related expenses, MSR financing expenses, a decrease in net interest income on initial margin related to interest rate swaps, and an increase in securitization related costs.
