<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><i><strong>Preliminary Estimate of Book Value Per Common Share at December&nbsp;31, 2024</strong></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although our financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024 are not yet finalized, on a preliminary basis we estimate, after giving effect to the payment of our fourth quarter common stock dividend of $0.18 per share (which was a 5.9% increase relative to the third quarter 2024), book value per common share to be in the range of $8.40 to $8.50 at December&nbsp;31, 2024, down approximately 2.75% to 4.00% compared to $8.74 at September&nbsp;30, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the positive impact of increased volume in our operating businesses was more than offset by the net negative impact of higher benchmark interest rates which negatively impacted valuations in our securities portfolio and additional credit-related valuation declines on our bridge loans.&nbsp;We estimate that at December&nbsp;31, 2024 our recourse leverage ratio was in the range of 2.4x to 2.5x and our unrestricted cash balance was $248 million. In response to the Los Angeles wildfires, we continue to assess the impact to our business and we are currently monitoring the affected areas. While the fires are ongoing and the full extent of their total impact is yet to be determined, based on our assessments to date, we have not identified circumstances that we believe would have a material adverse impact on our business.</p>


Guidance

Redwood Trust Preliminary Q4 Book Value Per Common Share $8.40-$8.50 At December 31, 2024, Down 2.75%-4% From Q3; Recourse Leverage Ratio In The Range Of 2.4x-2.5x, Unrestricted Cash Balance $248M

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
<p>Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. </p>
<p>Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.</p>
