Other, Net

Other, net includes brokerage and commission fees, due diligence costs, securitization expenses, and interest on custodial balances. We also report in Other, net 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, 2025 was $7.4 million compared to $23.4 million for the same period in 2024, primarily attributable to a decrease in sponsored securitization fees and net interest on initial margin related to interest rate swaps, an increase in securitization related costs and MSR financing expenses, partially offset by an increase in interest on custodial balances and conduit transaction fees.
