NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Organization

PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT” or the “Company”) is a specialty finance company, which invests in residential mortgage-related assets. The Company operates inthree reportable segments: credit sensitive strategies, interest rate sensitive strategies and aggregation and securitiz ation (formerly referred to as correspondent production). All other activities are included in corporate:

The credit sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in credit risk transfer (“CRT”) arrangements referencing loans from its own aggregation and securitization (“CRT arrangements”) and subordinate, residential and credit-linked mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”).

The interest rate sensitive strategies segment represents the Company’s investments in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), Agency and senior non-Agency MBS, and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and the related interest rate hedging activities.

The aggregation and securitization segment represents the Company’s operations purchasing, pooling and reselling or financing newly originated prime credit quality loans either directly or in the form of MBS, using the services of Pennymac Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”) and PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”), a publicly-traded mortgage banking and investment management company separately listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Company sells the loans it acquires through its aggregation and securitization activities primarily to government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies.” The Company also finances certain of the loans it aggregates through its own securitizations and retains certain senior and subordinate MBS created in the securitizations.

Corporate activities include management fees, corporate expense amounts and certain interest income and expense. None of the corporate activities qualify as reportable segments.

The Company conducts substantially all of its operations and makes substantially all of its investments through its subsidiary, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner, and the Company is the sole limited partner, of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of qualifying distributions to shareholders.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s ("FASB")Accounting Standards Codification for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be anticipated for the full year. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

The Company heldno restricted cash during the periods presented. Therefore, the consolidated statements of cash flows do not include references to restricted cash.

Note 3—Concentration of Risks

As discussed in Note 1 –Organization above, PMT’s operating and investing activities are centered in residential mortgage-related assets, including CRT arrangements, subordinate MBS, Agency and senior Non-Agency MBS, CMOs, loans held for investment and MSRs.

The Company is exposed to fair value risk and credit risk. As a result of prevailing market conditions, including changes in market interest rates, the Company may be required to recognize losses associated with adverse changes to the fair value of its investments in MSRs, CRT arrangements, loans and MBS. The Company is exposed to credit losses arising from its investments in CRT arrangements and subordinate MBS.

Fair Value Risk

The Company carries its non-cash financial assets and MSRs at fair value with changes in fair value included in its results of operations:

The fair value of MSRs is sensitive to changes in prepayment speed expectation and experience, the returns demanded by market participants and estimates of cost to service the underlying loans;

The fair values of Agency and senior non-Agency MBS are sensitive to changes in market interest rates; and

The fair values of CRT arrangements and subordinate MBS are sensitive to market perceptions of future credit performance of the underlying loans as well as the actual credit performance of such loans and the returns required by market participants to hold such investments.

Credit Risk

Note 6–Variable Interest Entities details the Company’s investments in CRT arrangements whereby the Company sold pools of loans into Fannie Mae guaranteed loan securitizations which became reference pools underlying the CRT arrangements. Fannie Mae transferred interest-only (“IO”) ownership interests and recourse obligations based upon the securitized reference pools of loans subject to the CRT arrangements into trust entities, and the Company acquired the IO ownership interests and assumed the recourse obligations in the CRT arrangements through the acquisition of beneficial interests in the trust entities.

The Company also invests in subordinate MBS, which are among the first beneficial interests in the issuing trusts to absorb credit losses on the underlying loans.

The Company’s retention of credit risk through its investment in CRT arrangements and subordinate MBS subjects it to risks associated with delinquency and foreclosure similar to the risks of loss associated with owning the underlying loans, which is greater than the risk of loss associated with selling loans to the Agencies without the retention of credit risk in the case of CRT arrangements and investing in senior mortgage-backed securities in the case of subordinate MBS.

Certain of the Company's investments in CRT arrangements are structured such that loans that reach a specific number of days delinquent trigger losses chargeable to the CRT arrangements based on the sizes of the delinquent loans and a contractual schedule of loss severity. Therefore, the risks associated with delinquency and foreclosure may in some instances be greater than the risks associated with owning the related loans because the structure of those CRT arrangements provides that the Company may be required to absorb losses in the event of delinquency or foreclosure even when there is ultimately no loss realized with respect to such loans (e.g., as a result of a borrower’s re-performance). In contrast, the structure of the Company’s other investments in CRT arrangements requires PMT to absorb losses only when the reference loans realize losses.

The Company maintains cash and short-term investment balances at financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. Should one or more of the financial institutions at which the Company's deposits are maintained fail, there is no guarantee as to the extent that the Company would recover the funds deposited, whether through FDIC coverage or otherwise, or the timing of any recovery.

Note 4—Transactions with Related Parties

The Company enters into transactions with subsidiaries of PFSI in support of its operating, investing and financing activities as summarized below.

Operating Activities

Servicing Agreement

The Company has a loan servicing agreement with PLS (the “Servicing Agreement”) pursuant to which PLS provides subservicing for the Company's portfolio of MSRs, loans held for sale, loans held in VIEs (prime servicing), and its portfolio of residential loans purchased with credit deterioration (special servicing or distressed loans).

Under the Servicing Agreement, as amended, servicing fees for all subserviced MSRs and loans are established at a per-loan monthly amount based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or Real estate acquired in settlement of loans ("REO") as shown below:

Through September 30, 2025, the per-loan base servicing fees for loans subserviced by PLS on the Company’s behalf were $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans. Effective October 1, 2025, the per loan base servicing fees for mortgage loans are $7.00 per month for fixed-rate loans and $8.00 per month for adjustable-rate loans.

To the extent that loans become delinquent, PLS is entitled to an additional servicing fee per loan ranging from $18 to $80 per month based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and foreclosure status of the loan or $75 per month if the underlying mortgaged property becomes REO.

PLS is also entitled to customary ancillary income and certain market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees, pass through of Agency incentive fees to PLS for loss mitigation activities and a fee for processing insurance and guarantee claims on defaulted loans.

The Servicing Agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

MSR Recapture Agreement

The Company has an MSR recapture agreement with PLS. Pursuant to the terms of the MSR recapture agreement, if PLS refinances (recaptures) mortgage loans for which the Company previously held the MSRs, PLS is generally required to transfer and convey to the Company cash in an amount equal to:

70% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the first 30% of the “recapture rate”;

50% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of 30% and up to 50%;

40% of the fair market value of the MSRs relating to the recaptured loans subject to the “recapture rate” in excess of 50%; and

a recapture fee of $900 per loan if PLS originates a mortgage loan for the purpose of purchasing a property where the customer has or had a mortgage loan for which PMT holds or held the MSR.

The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of all refinance mortgage loans originated in such month, plus the aggregate UPB of all "preserved mortgage loans" relating to closed end second loans originated in such month, to (ii) the aggregate UPB of all mortgage loans from the portfolio that PLS has determined in good faith were refinanced in such month, plus the aggregate UPB of all "preserved mortgage loans" relating to closed end second lien loans originated in such month. For purposes of such calculation, “preserved mortgage loan” means a mortgage loan in PMT’s portfolio as to which PLS or its affiliates originated a new closed end second lien loan in a subordinate position to such mortgage loan. PFSI has further agreed to allocate sufficient resources to target a recapture rate of at least 30%.

The MSR recapture agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Aggregation and Securitization Activities

Mortgage Banking Services Agreement

The Company is provided fulfillment and other services for the operation of its aggregation and securitization activities under an amended and restated mortgage banking services agreement with PLS. These services include: provision of models and technology for the pricing of loans and MSRs; reviews of loan data; documentation and appraisals to assess loan quality and risk; hedging the fair value of the Company's mortgage loan inventory and commitments to purchase mortgage loans; correspondent seller performance and credit monitoring; and the sale of loans through secondary mortgage markets on behalf of the Company.

PLS assumed the role of initial correspondent loan purchaser instead of the Company effective July 1, 2025 and the Company has the right under a mortgage loan purchase agreement to purchase up to 100% of the non-government insured or guaranteed delegated correspondent loans purchased by PLS at its cost plus accrued interest, less any loan administrative fee paid to PLS by the correspondent seller, and subject to quarterly fulfillment fees as described below. PLS may hold or otherwise sell correspondent loans to other investors if the Company chooses not to purchase such loans. As a result of the revised agreement, the sourcing fee arrangement described below no longer has any effect for correspondent loan commitments entered into beginning on July 1, 2025.

Effective January 1, 2025, fulfillment fees in any quarter shall not exceed the following:

the product of (i) the sum of $585 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $355 for each pull-through adjusted loan commitment in excess of 16,500 per quarter, and (ii) the number of loan commitments relating to loans intended to be purchased by PMT during the quarter and thereafter retained by PMT prior to sale or securitization, divided by the total number of non-Ginnie Mae loan commitments issued during the quarter (in each case as determined after applying the applicable pull-through factor) plus

the product of (i) the sum of $315 for each purchased loan up to and including 16,500 per quarter and $195 for each purchased loan in excess of 16,500 per quarter, and (ii) the number of loans purchased by PMT during the quarter and thereafter retained by PMT prior to sale or securitization, divided by the total number of non-Ginnie Mae loans purchased during the quarter, plus

$500 multiplied by the number of all purchased loans that are securitized or sold to parties other than Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

The Company does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and/or to act as a servicer for loans in Ginnie Mae MBS. Accordingly, under the mortgage banking services agreement, through June 30, 2025, PLS purchased mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from the Company at its cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging fromone totwo basis points of the UPB of the loan, generally based on the average number of calendar days the loans were held by the Company before purchase by PLS. PLS could also acquire conventional loans from the Company on the same terms upon mutual agreement between the Company and PLS.

While PLS purchased these mortgage loans “as is” and without recourse of any kind from the Company, where PLS has a claim for repurchase, indemnity or otherwise against a correspondent seller, it is entitled, at its sole expense, to pursue any such claim through or in the name of the Company.

The mortgage banking services agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

The Company may also purchase newly originated conforming balance non-government insured or guaranteed loans from PLS under the mortgage loan purchase agreement.

Management Agreement

PMT has a management agreement with PCM, pursuant to which PMT pays PCM management fees as follows:

A base management fee that is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i)1.5% per year of average shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii)1.375% per year of average shareho lders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii)1.25% per year of average shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion. “Shareholders’ equity” is defined as the sum of net proceeds from issuances and repurchases of equity securities since inception, plus retained earnings or reduced by accumulated deficit.

A performance incentive fee that is calculated annually at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which “net income,” for a fiscal year and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “common shareholders’ equity.”

The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of:

10% of the amount by which “net income” for the year exceeds (i) an 8% return onthe average “common shareholders’ equity” plus the “high watermark”, up to (ii) a 12% return on “common shareholders’ equity” during thefiscal year; plus

15% of the amount by which “net income” for the year exceeds (i) a 12% return onthe average“common shareholders’ equity” plus the “high watermark”, up to (ii) a 16% return on “common shareholders’ equity” during thefiscal year; plus

20% of the amount by which “net income” for the year exceeds a 16% return onthe average “common shareholders’ equity” during the fiscal year plus the“high watermark.”

For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:

“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges after discussion between PCM and the Company’s independent trustees and after approval by a majority of the Company’s independent trustees.

“Common shareholders’ equity” is defined as the average shareholder’s equity less the average GAAP carrying value of the Company’s preferred equity.

“High watermark” is the annual adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “common shareholders' equity”) in that year exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30‑year MBS Yield (the “Target Yield”) for the year then ended. If the “net income” is lower than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the “net income” is higher than the Target Yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark is reset to zero. As a result, the threshold amount required for the PCM to earn a performance incentive fee is adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of the Company’s net income over (or under) the Target Yield, until the net income in excess of the Target Yield exceeds the then-current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned. The high watermark is calculated based on the two years preceding the fiscal year for which the incentive fee is calculated, and will never be less than zero after including all high watermark increases and high watermark decreases over any such rolling two fiscal year period.

The base management fee is paid quarterly in arrears and the performance incentive fee is paid annually in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and the Company’s Common Shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in Common Shares), at the Company’s option.

In the event of termination of the management agreement between the Company and PCM, PCM may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by PCM, in each case during the 24-month period before termination of the management agreement.

Following is a summary of management fee expenses:

The management agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Expense Reimbursement

Under the management agreement, the Company reimburses PCM for its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on the Company’s behalf, it being understood that PCM and its affiliates shall allocate a portion of their personnel’s time to provide certain legal, tax, accounting, internal audit and investor relations services for the direct benefit of the Company. The Company is also required to pay a pro rata portion of the rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses (common overhead) of PCM and its affiliates required for the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ operations. These expenses are based on the resources PCM and its affiliates dedicate to investment management activities for the Company, as determined by PCM in its reasonable and good faith discretion.

Note 6—Variable Interest Entities

The Company is a variable interest holder in various VIEs that relate to its investing and financing activities as discussed below.

Credit Risk Transfer Arrangements

The Company has previously entered into certain loan sales arrangements pursuant to which it accepted credit risk relating to the loans sold in exchange for a portion of the interest earned on such loans. These arrangements absorb scheduled or realized credit losses on those loans and comprise the Company’s investments in CRT arrangements.

The Company, through PennyMac Corp. ("PMC"), entered into CRT arrangements with Fannie Mae, pursuant to which the Company sold pools of loans into Fannie Mae-guaranteed securitizations while retaining recourse obligations as part of the retention of IO ownership interests in such loans. CRT arrangements include:

securities that are structured such that loans that reach a specific number of days delinquent (including loans in forbearance) trigger losses chargeable to the CRT arrangement based on the sizes of the delinquent loans and a contractual schedule of loss severity; and

securities that require the Company to absorb losses only when the reference loans realize credit losses.

The Company placed Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements into subsidiary trust entities to secure its recourse obligations. The Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements represent the Company’s maximum contractual exposure to claims under its recourse obligations and are the sole source of settlement of losses under the CRT arrangements.

The Company’s exposure to losses under its recourse obligations was initially established at rates ranging from 3.5% to 4.0% of the UPB of the loans sold under the CRT arrangements. As the UPB of the underlying loans subject to each CRT arrangement decreased through repayments, the percentage exposure to losses of each CRT arrangement increased to maximums ranging from 4.5% to 5.0% of outstanding UPB, although the total dollar amount of exposure to losses did not increase.

The Company has concluded that the subsidiary trust entities holding its CRT arrangements are VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as it is the holder of the primary beneficial interests which absorb the variability of the trusts’ income.

For CRT arrangements where losses are triggered based on the loans’ delinquency status, the Company recognizes its IO ownership interests and recourse obligations on the consolidated balance sheets as CRT derivatives in Derivative assetsand Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities.

For CRT arrangements where losses are absorbed when the reference loans realize credit losses, the Company recognizes its IO ownership interests and recourse obligations as CRT strips which are included on the consolidated balance sheets in Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities.

Gains and losses on the derivatives, strips and the IO ownership interest sold to a nonaffiliate included in the CRT arrangements are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financingsin the consolidated statements of operations.

Subordinate and Senior Non-Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company retains or purchases subordinate and senior non-agency MBS in transactions sponsored by PMC or a nonaffiliate. Cash inflows from the loans underlying these securities are distributed to investors and service providers in accordance with the respective securities' contractual priorities of payments and, as such, most of these inflows must be directed first to service and repay the senior securities.

The rights of holders of subordinate securities to receive distributions of principal and/or interest, as applicable, are subordinate to the rights of holders of senior securities. After the senior securities are repaid, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinate securities, including those held by the Company, until they are fully repaid.

The Company’s retention or purchase of subordinate MBS exposes PMT to the credit risk in the underlying loans because the Company’s subordinate MBS investments are among the first beneficial interests to absorb credit losses on those assets. The Company’s exposure to losses from its investments in subordinate MBS is limited to its recorded investment in such securities.

The Company has concluded that the trusts holding the assets underlying these transactions are VIEs. The Company also has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of certain of the VIEs as it has the power, through PLS, in its role as the servicer or sub-servicer of the underlying loans, to direct the activities of the trusts that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance and, as a holder of subordinate securities, that PMT is exposed to losses that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, PMT consolidates those VIEs.

The Company recognizes the interest earned on the loans owned by the VIEs as Interest income and the interest attributable to the asset-backed securities issued to nonaffiliates by the VIEs as Interest expenseon its consolidated statements of operations.

Financing of Mortgage Servicing Assets

The Company entered into financing transactions in which it pledged participation interests in its Fannie Mae MSRs to VIEs which issued variable funding notes, term notes and term loans backed by the participation interests. The Company holds the variable funding notes and acts as guarantor of the variable funding notes, term notes and term loans. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because, as the holder of the variable funding notes and issuer of performance guarantees, it holds the variable interests in the VIEs. Therefore, the Company consolidates the VIEs.

For financial reporting purposes, the MSRs financed by the consolidated VIEs are included in Mortgage servicing rights at fair value, the variable funding notes sold under agreements to repurchase are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase and the term notes and term loans are included in Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These financings are described in Note 15—Long-Term Debt.

Note 7— Fair Value

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured at or based on their fair values. Measurement at or based on fair value may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether the Company has elected to carry the item at its fair value, as discussed in the following paragraphs.

The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.

Level 3—Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where significant observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.

The Company reclassifies its assets and liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy when the significant inputs required to establish fair value at a level of the fair value hierarchy are no longer readily available, requiring the use of lower-level inputs, or when the significant inputs required to establish fair value at a higher level of the hierarchy become available.

Fair Value Accounting Elections

The Company identified all of PMT’s non-cash financial assets and MSRs to be accounted for at fair value. The Company has elected to account for these assets at fair value so such changes in fair value will be reflected in results of operations as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.

The Company has also identified its Asset-backed financings of variable interest entities at fair valueand Interest-only security payable at fair value to be accounted for at fair value to reflect the generally offsetting changes in fair value of these borrowings to changes in fair value of the assets at fair value collateralizing these financings. For other borrowings, the Company has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under that method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt facility, thereby matching the debt issuance cost to the periods benefiting from the availability of the debt.

The Company remeasures its REO based on fair value when it evaluates the properties for impairment. The Company evaluates its REO for impairment with reference to the respective properties’ fair values less costs to sell. REO may be revalued after acquisition due to the Company receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or receiving indications that the property’s fair value may not be supported by developing market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the property’s cost is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

Most of the Company’s borrowings are carried at amortized cost. The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets and the exchangeable senior notes included in Unsecured senior notesare classified as “Level 3” fair value liabilities due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair values. The Company classifies its senior notes as “Level 2” fair value liabilities.

The Company has concluded that the fair values of these borrowings other than term notes and term loans included in Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes approximate the agreements’ carrying values due to the borrowing agreements’ variable interest rates and short maturities.

The Company estimates the fair values of the term notes and term loans included in Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets using indications of fair value provided by nonaffiliate brokers for the term notes and internal estimates of fair value for the term loans. The Company estimates the fair values of its Unsecured senior notes using pricing services. The fair values and carrying values of these liabilities are summarized below:

Valuation Governance

Most of the Company’s assets, its Asset-backed financings of variable interest entities at fair value, Interest-only security payable at fair value and Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities at fair value are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period results of operations. A substantial portion of these items are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the fair values of the assets and liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company has delegated

responsibility for estimating the fair values of these assets and liabilities to specialized staff within PFSI's capital markets group and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight.

With respect to “Level 3” valuations other than IRLCs, the capital markets valuation staff reports to PFSI’s senior management valuation subcommittee, which oversees the valuations. The capital markets valuation staff monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to PFSI’s senior management valuation subcommittee. PFSI’s senior management valuation subcommittee includes the Company’s chief financial and investment officers as well as other senior members of PFSI’s finance, risk management and capital markets staffs.

The capital markets valuation staff is responsible for reporting to PFSI’s senior management valuation subcommittee on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the capital markets valuation staff presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models and, for MSRs, comparisons of its estimates of fair value and key inputs to those procured from nonaffiliate brokers and published surveys.

The fair values of the Company’s IRLCs are developed by PFSI's capital markets risk management staff and are reviewed by its capital markets operations staff.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

The following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:

The Company’s categorization of its current holdings of MBS is based on whether the respective security is an IO stripped MBS:

The Company categorizes its current holdings of MBS other than IO stripped MBS as “Level 2” fair value assets. Fair value of these securities is established based on quoted market prices for the Company’s MBS holdings or similar securities.

The Company categorizes its current holdings of IO stripped MBS as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair values of its IO stripped MBS.

The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of IO stripped MBS include option-adjusted spread ("OAS") (OAS is a component of discount rate) and prepayment speed. Significant changes to those inputs in isolation may result in significant changes in the IO stripped MBS' fair value measurements. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related.

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of IO stripped MBS:

Weighted average10.8%11.0%
Equivalent life (in years)
Range4.0 – 7.44.0 – 7.7
Weighted average7.47.6

(1)

(2)

The Company applies an OAS to multiple simulated paths of a derived United States Treasury securities (“Treasury") yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to IO stripped MBS.

(3)

Prepayment speed is measured using life total Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”). Equivalent life is provided as supplementary information.

Changes in the fair value of MBS are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of operations.

Loans

Fair value of loans is estimated based on whether the loans are saleable into active markets:

Loans that are saleable into active markets, comprised of most of the Company’s loans held for sale and all of the loans held for investment in VIEs, are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets:

Fair values of loans held for sale are established using the loans’ contracted selling prices, quoted market prices or market price equivalents.

Fair values of loans held for investment in VIEs are developed using the quoted indications of fair value of all of the individual securities issued by the securitization trusts holding the loans. The Company obtains indications of fair value from nonaffiliate brokers based on comparable securities and/or pricing services and validates the brokers’ or pricing services’ indications of fair value using pricing models and inputs the Company believes are similar to the pricing models and inputs used by other market participants. The Company adjusts the fair values received from brokers and/or pricing services to include the fair value of MSRs attributable to the loans included in the VIEs.

Loans that are not saleable into active markets, comprised of home equity lines of credit, previously sold loans that the Company repurchased pursuant to the representation and warranties it provided to the purchaser and distressed loans, are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets:

Fair values of loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” assets (home equity lines of credit and previously sold loans repurchased pursuant to representations and warranties) are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach or the loans' contracted selling prices when applicable. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model include current interest rates, payment statuses, property types, discount rates and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default speeds and loss severities.

Fair values of distressed loans are estimated based on the fair values of the real estate collateralizing the loans.

Changes in fair values of loans held for sale are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in fair values of loans held for investment are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative and Credit Risk Transfer Strip Assets and Liabilities

CRT Derivatives

The Company categorizes CRT derivatives as “Level 3” fair value assets. The fair values of CRT derivatives are based on indications of fair value provided to the Company by nonaffiliate brokers for the certificates representing the beneficial interests in the trusts holding the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors, the recourse obligations and the IO ownership interests. Together, the recourse obligation and the IO ownership interest comprise the CRT derivative. Fair values of the CRT derivatives are derived by deducting the balances of the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors from the fair values of the certificates representing the beneficial interests in the trusts.

The Company establishes fair value of its investment in CRT Arrangements based on indications of fair value provided by nonaffiliate brokers for the securities representing the beneficial interests in the trusts holding the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors the IO ownership interest and the recourse obligations. The Company assesses the fair values it receives from nonaffiliate brokers using the discounted cash flow approach. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in its review and approval of the valuation of CRT derivatives are the discount rates, voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds and the remaining loss expectations of the reference loans. Changes in fair value of CRT derivatives are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financingsin the consolidated statements of operations.

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the Company’s review and approval of broker-provided fair values for CRT derivatives:

(2)

Voluntary prepayment speed is measured using life voluntary CPR.

(3)

Involuntary prepayment speed is measured using life involuntary CPR.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. The Company estimates the fair values of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, the probability that the loans will be purchased under the commitments (the “pull-through rate”) and the Company’s estimate of the fair values of the MSRs it expects to receive upon sale of the loans.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rates and the estimated MSRs attributed to the mortgage loans subject to the commitments. Significant changes in the pull-through rates or the MSR components of the IRLCs, in isolation, may result in a significant change in the IRLCs’ fair values. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of an IRLC’s fair value, but also increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component that has decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair valuein the consolidated statements of operations.

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:

Hedging Derivatives

Fair values of derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair values of derivative financial instruments based on observable interest rates, volatilities and prices in the MBS or other markets are categorized by the Company as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net loan servicing fees – from nonaffiliates – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value, or Net (losses) gains on investments and financings, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Credit Risk Transfer Strips

The Company categorizes CRT strips as “Level 3” fair value liabilities. The fair values of CRT strips are based on indications of fair value provided to the Company by nonaffiliate brokers for the securities representing the beneficial interests in the trusts holding the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors, the IO ownership interests and the recourse obligations. Together, the IO ownership interest and the recourse obligation comprise the CRT strip.

Fair values of the CRT strips are derived by deducting the balance of the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors from the indications of fair value of the securities provided by the nonaffiliate brokers.

The Company assesses the indications of fair value it receives from nonaffiliate brokers using the discounted cash flow approach. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in its review and approval of the valuation of the CRT strips are the discount rates, voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds and the remaining loss expectations of the reference loans. Changes in fair value of CRT strips are included in Net (losses) gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of operations.

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the Company’s review and approval of the broker-provided fair values used to derive the fair value of the CRT strip liabilities:

Involuntary prepayment speed is measured using life involuntary CPR.

The Company categorizes MSRs as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company receives a servicing fee based on the remaining UPB of the loans subject to the servicing agreements and generally has the right to receive other remuneration including various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges and collateral reconveyance charges, and is generally entitled to retain any placement fees earned on certain custodial funds held pending remittance of mortgagor principal, interest, tax and insurance payments. The fair values of MSRs are derived from the net positive cash flows associated with the servicing agreements. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair values of its MSRs.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company enhanced its discounted cash flow approach to estimate the period-end fair value of its MSRs with the adoption of an OAS model. The OAS model allows the Company to account for the likelihood of interest rates moving along different paths as economic conditions change in its assessment of the fair value of MSRs as opposed to a single assumed rate path. Adoption of the OAS model did not have a significant effect on the fair value of MSRs.

The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable prepayment rate (prepayment speed), OAS or pricing spread (the OAS and pricing spread are components of the discount rate), and annual per-loan cost to service the underlying loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing fees – From nonaffiliates – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights in the consolidated statements of operations.

MSRs are generally subject to loss in fair value when prepayment speed expectations and experience increase, when returns required by market participants (expressed as OAS or pricing spread) increase, or when the annual per-loan cost of servicing increases. Reductions in the fair value of MSRs affect income primarily through recognition of the change in fair value.

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of MSRs at the time of initial recognition:

These sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed as of a particular date; only contemplate the movements in the indicated inputs; do not incorporate changes to other inputs; are subject to the accuracy of the models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such events, including operational adjustments made to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, these analyses should not be viewed as projections of the effect of shock events or as earnings forecasts.

(4)

The OAS is a margin that is applied to a reference interest rate’s projected curve to develop periodic discount rates. The Company applies an OAS to multiple simulated paths of a derived Treasury yield curve for purposes of discounting cash flows relating to period-end MSRs.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

REO is measured based on its fair value on a nonrecurring basis and is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value asset. Fair value of REO is established by using a current estimate of fair value from either the price given in a pending contract of sale, a full appraisal, or a broker’s price opinion.

REO fair values are reviewed by PLS staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of fair value and there is a significant difference between the indications of fair value. PLS staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the difference between the indications of fair value. In circumstances where the staff appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a fair value conclusion, the staff appraisers obtain an additional appraisal to establish fair value. Recognized changes in the fair value of REO are included in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Activities

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating, investing and financing activities. Derivative financial instruments are created as a result of certain of the Company’s operations and the Company also enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities.

Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations are IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase loans held for sale.

The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by the effects of changes in interest rates on the fair values of certain of its assets and liabilities. The Company bears price risk related to its mortgage production, servicing assets and MBS financing activities due to changes in market interest rates as discussed below:

The Company is exposed to losses if market mortgage interest rates increase, because market interest rate increases generally cause the fair values of MBS, IRLCs and loans held for sale to decrease.

The Company is exposed to losses if market mortgage interest rates decrease, because market interest rate decreases generally encourage increased mortgage refinancing activities, which causes the fair values of MSRs to decrease.

To manage the price risk resulting from these interest rate risks, the Company uses derivative financial instruments with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair values of the Company’s MBS, inventory of loans held for sale, IRLCs and MSRs. The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting.

Cash flows from derivative financial instruments relating to hedging of IRLCs and loans held for sale are included in Cash flows from operating activities in Sale to nonaffiliates and repayment of loans held for sale at fair value. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments relating to hedging of MSRs are included in Cash flows from investing activities.

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement

One of the borrowing facilities secured by loans held for sale is in the form of a mortgage loan participation purchase and sale

agreement. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in loans that have been pooled into a pending securitization with Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, are sold to the lender pending the securitization of such loans and the sale of the resulting security. The commitment between the Company and a nonaffiliate to sell such security is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.

The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount. The holdback amount is based on a percentage of the purchase price and is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

The mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreement is summarized below:

CRT Arrangement Financing

The Company, through various wholly-owned subsidiaries, issued secured term notes (the “CRT Term Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). All of the CRT Term Notes rank pari passu with each other.

Interest rates are charged at a spread to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR").

Fannie Mae MSR Financing

The Company, through two subsidiaries, PMT ISSUER TRUST-FMSR and PMT CO-ISSUER TRUST-FMSR (together, the "Issuer Trusts"), finances MSRs relating to loans serviced for Fannie Mae guaranteed securities comprised of the base MSRs owned by PMC and the related excess servicing spread ("ESS") owned by PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”), another subsidiary of PMT, through a combination of repurchase agreements and term financing.

The repurchase agreement financings for Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS are effected through the issuance of variable funding notes (a Series 2017-VF1 Note, a Series 2024-VF1 Note, a Series 2024-VF2 Note, and a Series 2025-VF1 Note, together the "FMSR VFNs") by the Issuer Trusts to PMC and PMH in exchange for participation certificates for MSRs and ESS. The FMSR VFNs are then sold by PMC and PMH to qualified institutional buyers under agreements to repurchase. The amounts outstanding under the FMSR VFNs are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The FMSR VFNs have a combined committed borrowing capacity of $1.1 billion undertwo-year repurchase agreement facilities.

The term financing for Fannie Mae MSRs is effected through the issuance of term notes (the “FT-1 Term Notes”) by the Issuer Trusts to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and a series of syndicated term loans with various lenders (the “FTL-1 Term Loans").

The FT-1 Term Notes, FTL-1 Term Loans and the FMSR VFNs are secured by participation certificates relating to Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS. Creditors to the assets sold under agreements to repurchase, the FT-1Term Notes and the FTL-1 Term Notes have equal priority in claims to the collateral held by the Issuer Trusts.

The indentures relating to these issuances provide the Company with the option of extending the maturity dates of the FTL-1 Term Loans and FT-1 Term Notes under conditions specified in the respective agreements.

Freddie Mac MSR and Servicing Advance Receivables Financing

The Company, through PMC and PMH, finances certain MSRs (including any related ESS) relating to loans pooled into Freddie Mac securities through various credit agreements. The total loan amount available under the agreements is approximately $2.0 billion, bearing interest at an annual rate equal to SOFR plus a spread as defined in each agreement. The agreements have maturities on various dates through August 2026. Thetotal loan amount available under the agreements may be reduced by other debt outstanding with the counterparties. Advances under the credit agreements are secured by MSRs relating to loans serviced for Freddie Mac guaranteed securities.

The Company, through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries, PMT ISSUER TRUST - FHLMC SAF, PMT SAF Funding, LLC, and PMC, entered into a structured finance transaction that PMC may use to finance Freddie Mac servicing advance receivables (the “Series 2023-VF1”). The maturity date of the related Series 2023-VF1, Class A-VF1 Variable Funding Note is March 5, 2027 and has a maximum principal amount of $175 million.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings, lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, income, or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

On June 14, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares (each, as defined hereafter) filed a complaint in a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California(the "District Court”), captioned Roberto Verthelyi v. PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust and PNMAC Capital Management, LLC, Case No. 2:24-cv-05028 (the “Verthelyi Action”). The Verthelyi Action alleges, among other things, that the Company (and its external investment advisor, PCM), committed unlawful and unfair acts in violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law by replacing its floating three-month London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") dividend rate for the Series A and Series B Preferred Shares with a fixed rate, in violation of the LIBOR Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5801 et seq., and the LIBOR Rule, 12 C.F.R. § 253 et seq.

The Verthelyi Action seeks injunctive relief requiring the Company to implement SOFR as a replacement to the three-month LIBOR rate and damages for the putative class in the form of restitution, interest, disgorgement and other relief. The Company believes it has interpreted the Articles Supplementary to its Series A and Series B Preferred Shares consistent with their terms and, more specifically, the interest rate fallback provisions contained therein, as applied under the LIBOR Act and the LIBOR rules, and that the Verthelyi Action is without merit.

On August 20, 2024, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss that was denied by the District Court in an order dated February 26, 2025. The Company responded by filing a motion to certify the order denying the motion for interlocutory appeal, and on May 5, 2025, the District Court issued an Order Granting Certification for Interlocutory Appeal and Staying Action. The Company subsequently petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”) for permission to appeal, and that petition was granted by the Ninth Circuit in an order dated July 17, 2025. The appeal is fully briefed, arguments were heard and it remains pending.

At this time, the Company does not believe that a loss related to this matter is probable or reasonably estimable. The specific factors that limit the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate a loss or range of losses are the novelty of the legal theories under California’s Unfair Competition Law, the various claims for relief, including injunctive relief, and the early stage of the proceedings and uncertainty of the outcome. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for this matter. While no assurance can be provided as to the ultimate outcome of this claim, the Company and PCM plan to vigorously defend the matter.

Pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2020, by and between the Company and PCM, the Company has assumed the defense of PCM in the Verthelyi Action.

Note 22—Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s equity incentive plan provides for the issuance of equity awards to the Company’s officers and trustees, as well as to employees and officers of PFSI and its affiliates and other entities or persons that provide services to the Company.

The equity incentive plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee, pursuant to authority delegated by PMT’s board of trustees, which has the authority to make equity awards to the eligible participants referenced above, and to determine what form the equity awards will take, and the terms and conditions of the equity awards.

The Company’s equity incentive plan allows for the grant of time-based and performance-based restricted share unit equity awards.

The shares underlying equity award grants will again be available for award under the equity incentive plan if:

any shares subject to an equity award granted under the equity incentive plan are forfeited, canceled, exchanged or surrendered;

an equity award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the participant; or

shares are surrendered or withheld by PMT as payment of withholding taxes for an equity award.

Restricted share units and performance-based unit equity awards have been awarded to officers and trustees of the Company and to other employees and officers of PFSI and its affiliates at no cost to the grantees. Such awards generally vest over a one- to three-year period.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation activity:

Note 23—Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 8.5% and 253.7% with consolidated pretax income of $26.9 million and pretax loss of $6.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) recognized a tax expense of $2.9 million on pretax income of $964,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. For the same period in 2025, the TRS recognized a tax benefit of $17.2 million on a pretax loss of $75.3 million. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is generally attributable to nontaxable REIT income resulting from the dividends paid deduction.

The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of March 31, 2026, the valuation allowance remains zero. The TRS has a significant net deferred tax liability position, which indicates the TRS will utilize all of its deferred tax assets. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods based on future income.

In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (subject to certain limitations) provides a 20% deduction from taxable income for ordinary REIT dividends which was made permanent under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025.

Note 24—Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company determines earnings per Common Share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to Common Shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company’s participating securities are certain grants of restricted share units that provide the recipients the nonforfeitable right to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of Common Shares.

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income reduced by preferred dividends and income attributable to the participating securities) by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Common Shares and dilutive securities. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities are share-based compensation awards and the exchangeable senior notes described in Note 15—Long-Term Debt. The number of dilutive securities included in diluted earnings per share is calculated using either the treasury stock or if-converted method (whichever is most dilutive) for share-based compensation awards and the if-converted method for the exchangeable senior notes. The number of potentially dilutive securities relating to the exchangeable senior notes is calculated based on the exchange obligation in excess of the principal amount of the exchangeable senior notes as described in Note 15—Long-Term Debt.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

Quarter ended March 31,
20262025

Net income$24,616$9,680
Dividends on preferred shares(10,455)(10,455)

Basic earnings (losses) per share$0.16$(0.01)
Diluted earnings (losses) per share$0.16$(0.01)

Calculation of diluted earnings per share requires certain potentially dilutive shares to be excluded when the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the potentially dilutive shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation:
