Servicing rights are recognized in connection with salesof loans when we retain servicing of the sold loans. The servicing rights are recorded and carried at fair value based on the expected future cash flows. The fair value increase recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by higher escrow earnings rates in the multi-family and healthcare servicing portfolios, which increased the expected cash flows from servicing activities. Lower prepayment assumptions in the single-family and healthcare portfolios also contributed to the higher servicing values. The value of servicing rights generally increases in rising 10-year interest rate environments and declines in falling interest rate environments due to expected prepayments and earning rates that are influenced by projected future interest rates on escrow deposits.

These earnings are an ongoing source of servicing income and represent a recurring economic benefit of a higher-rate environment.
