Our cash flows resulted in a net decrease in cash of $110.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as discussed below.

Operating activities

Cash used in operating activities totaled $8.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to cash used in our operating activities of $3.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Cash flows from operating activities are influenced by cash flows from loans held for sale as shown below:

The primary source of negative operating cash flow from loans held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, relates to the transfer of $8.1 billion of loans held for sale to held for investment pursuant to our securitization activities. The securitization of portions of our aggregation and securitization activities and cash received from such securitizations is accounted for as a financing activity. We may sell these loans based on market conditions before committing to securitize the loans.

Investing activities

Net cash provided by our investing activities was $2.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, driven by cash inflows generated by our investments, as compared to net cash used in our investing activities of $123.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by our financing activities was $6.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to net cash provided by our financing activities of $4.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This change primarily reflects the increase in borrowings required to finance newly created investments from our ongoing securitization efforts during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, we continually evaluate and pursue additional sources of financing to provide us with future investing capacity. We do not raise equity or enter into borrowings for the purpose of financing the payment of dividends. We believe that our cash earnings are adequate to fund our operating expenses and dividend payment requirements. However, we manage our liquidity in the aggregate and are reinvesting our cash flows in new investments as well as using such cash to fund our dividend requirements.
