2. FAIR VALUE

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement:

The following tables present additional information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

1 Earnings from servicing rights were attributable to: time and payoffs, representing a decrease in servicing rights value due to passage of time, including the impact from both regularly scheduled loan principal payments and loans that were paid down or paid off during the period of $0.7 million and$0.9 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and an increase in servicing rights value resulting from market-driven changes in interest rates of $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and a decrease of $0.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024. Additions to servicing rights were related to purchases and servicing rights retained upon sale of loans held for sale.

1 Earnings from servicing rights were attributable to: time and payoffs, representing a decrease in servicing rights value due to passage of time, including the impact from both regularly scheduled loan principal payments and loans that were paid down or paid off during the period of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, and a decrease in servicing rights value resulting from market-driven changes in interest rates of $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and an increase of $0.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Additions to servicing rights were related to purchases and servicing rights retained upon sale of loans held for sale.

The table below summarizes the quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements:

1 The weighted average for Available-for-sale securities: Non-agency MBS is based on the relative fair value of the securities and for Servicing Rights is based on the relative unpaid principal of the loans being serviced.

For non-agency mortgage-backed securities, a significant increase (decrease) in default rate, loss severity (potentially offset by the level of credit enhancement) or discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, while a significant increase in the voluntary prepayment rate would result in a significant increase in fair value if the security is valued below par value, or a significant decrease in fair value if the security is valued above par value. Generally, a change in the assumptions used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the voluntary prepayment rate.

For servicing rights, significant increases in the voluntary prepayment rate or discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement, while a significant increase in expected life in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the voluntary prepayment rate is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in expected life.

The aggregate fair value of loans held for sale, carried at fair value, the contractual balance (including accrued interest), and the unrealized gain were:

The total interest income and amount of gains and losses from changes in fair value included in earnings for loans held for sale, carried at fair value, were:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were:

1 Other Assets - Derivative Assets are presented net of $78.0 million of variation margin on centrally-cleared derivatives as of December 31, 2024.

The carrying amount represents the estimated fair value for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, stock of regulatory agencies, interest-bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt and for variable rate loans, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. A discussion of the methods of valuing trading securities, available-for-sale securities, loans held for sale and derivatives can be found in Note 3—“Fair Value”in the 2024 Form 10-K. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.
