(1)    Represents other interest expense, which includes gain or loss on 
       extinguishment of debt and amortization of debt issuance costs and debt 
       discount, in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. 
(2)    Represents the change in the fair value of servicing rights due to 
       changes in valuation inputs or assumptions, net of gains or losses from 
       derivatives hedging servicing rights, and gains (losses) from the sale 
       of MSRs. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, we began to include 
       the gains (losses) from the sale of MSRs in valuation changes in 
       servicing rights, net of hedging gains and losses to appropriately 
       capture all valuation changes in MSRs up to and including the sales 
       date. Prior periods have been revised to conform with this new 
       presentation. 
(3)    Reflects employee severance expense and professional services 
       associated with restructuring efforts subsequent to the announcement of 
       Vision 2025 in July 2022.

       net of expected insurance recoveries, that occurred in the first 
       quarter of 2024, including costs to investigate and remediate the 
       Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and 
       identity protection, professional fees including legal expenses, 
       litigation settlement costs, and commission guarantees. During the 
       three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $20.0 
       million receivable for reimbursement from its insurers. During the nine 
       months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $35.0 million for 
       an insurance reimbursement and receivable, and an accrual of $25.0 
       million in connection with class action litigation related to the 
       Cybersecurity Incident.
