Investors may find the following information useful: (i) Throughout this document, certain other reclassifications may have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation and to show results on a consistent basis across periods. Unless otherwise stated, any such changes would have had no impact on consolidated total revenues or earnings under GAAP or for Adjusted Earnings, all else being equal. Certain numbers in the tables or elsewhere throughout this document may not sum due to rounding. (ii) Rounding may have also impacted the presentation of certain year-on-year percentage changes. (iii) Decreases in losses may be shown as positive percentage changes in the financial tables. (iv) Changes from negative figures to positive figures may be calculated using absolute values, resulting in positive percentage changes in the tables.

- Newmark's servicing portfolio generated $63.5 MM1 (+21% Y/Y) and $256.9 MM (+16% Y/Y), respectively, of high-margin, recurring, and predictable revenue during the three and twelve months ended 3/31/2024.
- As of 3/31/2024, Newmark's higher margin primary servicing portfolio2 was up 13% Y/Y to $63.8 billion, while its weighted-average maturity was 6.0 years.
- Of the Fannie Mae3 and Freddie Mac loans in Newmark's servicing portfolio, only 1.6% will mature before 2025 and ~ 90% will mature in 2027 or later.
- Newmark produced $163.9 mm in servicing fees during the twelve months ended 3/31/2024. In addition to servicing fees, the Company generated $93.0 mm of other revenues, for a total of $256.9 mm of servicing & other revenues. These include escrow interest, servicing and asset management fees, interest on loans held for sale, and yield maintenance fees. Multifamily mortgage servicing revenue is stable and recurring in part because of greater call protection versus single family mortgages, and because interest income moves in tandem with interest rates. Nearly 99% of the Company's GSE loans include prepayment penalties. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, servicing fees also reflect Spring 11's limited servicing and asset management business. Please see "Recurring Revenues" under "Certain Revenue Terms Defined" in the appendix for more information regarding Spring11's servicing and asset management revenues.
- We believe that for the industry, commercial and multifamily servicing and asset management companies earn 40 to 50 basis points on their Fannie Mae servicing book, eight to 10 basis points on Freddie Mac loans, approximately 15 basis points for FHA loans, and 1 to 3 basis
points for limited servicing. The fees for special servicing and asset management can vary depending on a variety of factors. Spring11's portfolio currently earns closer to the low end of the latter range but is targeting higher fees over time as it expands its offerings across special servicing and asset management. Limited servicing, special servicing, and asset management together generally produce higher profit margins than Newmark as a whole, but lower profit margins versus GSE/FHA primary servicing. We expect our overall portfolio to continue providing a steady stream of income and cash flow over the life of the serviced loans
3. Newmark's agency risk sharing portfolio was $29.8 B at 3/31/2024. As of that same date, the OLTV of the portfolio was 62%.

- After the close of the quarter, Newmark renewed its $600.0 million revolving Credit Facility under substantially the same covenants, extending the maturity date from March 2025 to April 2027.
