◦Gross margins remained within targeted ranges despite increased market volatility late in the quarter from changes in interest rates and mortgage spreads

◦Distribution remained strong across platforms, supported by record securitization activity and continued momentum in whole loan sales, enabling efficient risk transfer and consistent market access

•Variability between Consolidated GAAP and EAD results primarily reflects market-driven changes in portfolio valuations rather than underlying operating performance

“We delivered a third consecutive quarter of record mortgage banking volume, as Sequoia and Aspire continued to scale while maintaining disciplined margins,” said Christopher Abate, Chief Executive Officer of Redwood Trust. “What stands out in this environment is not just the level of production, but how we’re processing it using active distribution and technology to drive capital turnover and efficiently manage risk. As we expand our product set and deepen relationships across our ecosystem, we are seeing sustained demand from institutional investors seeking consistent access to the high-quality assets we source.”

1.Earnings available for distribution ("EAD"), EAD per share and EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures. See Non-GAAP Disclosures section that follows for additional information on these measures.

2.Mortgage Banking refers to the combined performance or data related to Sequoia Mortgage Banking, Aspire Mortgage Banking and CoreVest Mortgage Banking segments. Production consists of loan locks from Sequoia Mortgage Banking and Aspire Mortgage Banking, as well as loan fundings from CoreVest Mortgage Banking.

3.Economic return on book value is based on the period change in GAAP book value per common share plus dividends declared per common share in the period.

4.Core Segments EAD is a non-GAAP measure used to present management’s non-GAAP analysis of the combined performance of the Company’s mortgage banking platforms and related investments (which consist of the Company’s Sequoia Mortgage Banking, Aspire Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking and Redwood Investments segments), inclusive of an allocated portion of the Company’s Corporate segment relating to those Core Segments. Core Segments EAD excludes the Company’s Legacy Investments segment and excludes an allocated portion of the Company’s Corporate segment relating to the Legacy Investments segment. Core Segments EAD per basic common share and Core Segments EAD ROE are also non-GAAP financial measures and are calculated using Core Segments EAD. See Non-GAAP Disclosures section that follows for additional information on these measures.

5.Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we revised our segment reporting to (i) present Aspire Mortgage Banking as a new reportable segment separate from our Sequoia Mortgage Banking segment and (ii) allocate corporate financing costs to our Sequoia, Aspire, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, Redwood Investments and Legacy Investments segments. This change had no impact on the consolidated financial statements and all prior period amounts were conformed to the current presentation.

6.ROC for the combined Mortgage Banking platforms is a non-GAAP measure calculated as annualized net income for the Company’s combined Mortgage Banking platforms divided by the average capital utilized by the combined Mortgage Banking platforms for the period. Average capital utilized represents management's internal estimate of the average capital deployed to support the activities of each segment and for Q1'26 the combined Mortgage Banking platform average capital was $386 million.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we revised our segment reporting to allocate corporate financing costs to our Sequoia, Aspire, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, Redwood Investments and Legacy Investments segments. This change had no impact on the consolidated financial statements and all prior period amounts were conformed to the current presentation.

7.Lock volume represents loans identified for purchase from loan sellers. Lock volume does not account for potential fallout from pipeline that typically occurs through the lending process.

8.Cost per loan for the Sequoia Mortgage Banking segment is calculated as general and administrative expenses and loan acquisition costs of this segment divided by loan purchase commitments of this segment.

9.EAD ROC for a segment is calculated as non-GAAP segment EAD annualized divided by average capital utilized for the segment during the period. Non-GAAP EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to: (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. Average capital utilized represents management's internal estimate of the average economic capital allocated to support the activities of each segment.

10.Redwood Investments recourse leverage ratio is defined as recourse debt at Redwood Investments divided by capital invested. At March 31, 2026 recourse debt excludes $20.5 billion of consolidated securitization debt (ABS issued and servicer advance financing), other liabilities and other debt that is non-recourse to Redwood at Redwood Investments.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

To supplement consolidated and segment financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company also provides Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”), EAD Return on Equity ("EAD ROE"), Core Segments Earnings Available for Distribution (“Core Segments EAD”) and Core Segments EAD Return on Equity ("Core Segments EAD ROE") as non-GAAP measures.

Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and management in evaluating the Company’s operating performance, facilitating comparisons to industry peers, and assessing the current income-generating capacity of the Company’s operating platforms as of the period presented, including the Company’s ability to pay dividends. These measures also assist in evaluating the Company’s ongoing transition to a more scalable and simplified business model, including the wind-down of legacy portfolio holdings within the Legacy Investments segment.

These non-GAAP measures should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes.

Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”) and EAD ROE are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company has historically reported and continues to use to present management’s non-GAAP analysis of the operating performance of the Company’s different business segments. EAD is defined, as GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition-related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges, as applicable; and (v) reflect a hypothetical income tax adjustment associated with these items. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity.

Core Segments EAD and Core Segments EAD ROE represent management’s non-GAAP assessment of the combined performance of the Company’s mortgage banking platforms and related investments, which include the Sequoia Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, and Redwood Investments segments (collectively, the “Core Segments”), together with an allocated portion of the Corporate segment attributable to those operations.

Core Segments EAD excludes the Legacy Investments segment and the portion of the Corporate segment attributable to Legacy Investments. Core Segments EAD ROE is calculated as Core Segments EAD divided by the average capital utilized by the Core Segments during the period, which represents management’s internal estimate of the average economic capital allocated to support Core Segments activities.

Exhibit 99.2

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Redwood generated a third consecutive record operating quarter, with combined mortgage banking volumes surpassing $8 billion in the first quarter of 2026. This sustained momentum reflects the strength and scalability of our business model, with results achieved amidst a stagnant mortgage market in which applications remain close to 40% below pre-pandemic levels. As such, unlocking addressable market share remains our top priority as we continue to broaden the moat Redwood has built across our blue-chip origination network. In practical terms, there is no fast or inexpensive way to replicate the partnerships we’ve procured, particularly with many banks who commit meaningful financial and human capital toward working exclusively with us.

Our first quarter financial results reflected this strength in operating progress, despite the conflict in the Middle East and associated macroeconomic shocks that impacted both our business and the broader sector in the final month of the quarter. On a consolidated basis, Earnings Available for Distribution ("EAD")(1) was $0.21 per share, up slightly from the fourth quarter and once again covering our $0.18 per share dividend. Our GAAP book value per share was $7.12 at March 31, 2026, down from $7.36 per share at December 31, 2025, primarily due to one-time severance charges and non-cash fair value declines in portfolio investments driven by the late-quarter volatility.

Our operating results have been aided by continued improvement across key efficiency metrics. Cost per loan continued to improve in the first quarter, complementing capital efficiencies we have achieved from deepening channels for distribution – including $2 billion of life-to-date contributions to our joint venture with CPP Investments. We were pleased to recently announce the closing of a new joint venture for our Sequoia business with Castlelake L.P., a large institutional investor. The new vehicle has purchasing power of up to $8 billion of jumbo loans, with mutual flexibility to scale. Additionally, we continue to pursue a similar transaction to support growth in Aspire, having identified a capital partner and working through later stages of transaction completion. These partnerships provide dedicated capital with durable and predictable margins at a time when the public debt and equity capital markets for our sector have been less viable given the overall subdued state of the U.S. housing market.

With this foundation in place, we expect our platforms to execute against their respective growth objectives for 2026. At Sequoia, first quarter lock volume reached a record $6.5 billion, up 22% from the fourth quarter. Despite the recent volatility, we sustained segment returns consistent with the fourth quarter, buttressed by brisk distribution activity that included five securitizations completed in March alone and a 30% improvement in cost per loan. Product expansion remains a key driver of growth for the business. During the quarter we launched a new loan program focused on medical professionals, acquiring a large portfolio of these loans from a bank and successfully securitizing them in March, while also beginning to acquire those loan on a flow basis. We expect to roll out our first HELOC program in the second quarter, complementing recent progress in closed-

We undertake no obligation to update or revise the information contained herein, including forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Additional detail regarding the forward-looking statements in this Shareholder Letter and the important factors that may affect our actual results are described at the end of this Shareholder Letter under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.”

1.EAD is defined as GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net (ii) exclude exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition-related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges, as applicable; and (v) reflect a hypothetical income tax adjustment associated with these items.

end second liens and hybrids, and recently achieved readiness to support e-notes – mortgage assets created and stored electronically – an important milestone that further enhances execution efficiency.

We expect our Sequoia business to be further supported by evolving regulatory dynamics, most notably the recently re-proposed bank regulatory capital rules (the Basel endgame), which should deepen our opportunity set with banks. We view the newly proposed framework – which would ease the cost for banks to hold higher-quality mortgages and mortgage servicing rights – as a necessary step for banks to consider allocating more capital to their go-forward consumer mortgage strategies. But it’s not the only step. We consistently hear from bank C-suites that having a partner like Redwood to assist in the management of interest rate and asset/liability risks associated with a growing mortgage pipeline is a huge differentiator, especially because our support does not undermine a bank’s customer retention goals.

Aspire also continued its growth trajectory in the first quarter, with lock volume increasing to $1.6 billion and the successful execution of its inaugural securitization in early March. As we work towards $1 billion targeted monthly volume within Aspire, we remain focused on profitable growth through new seller relationships and expanded distribution. Demand for Aspire’s products remains healthy across both whole loan and securitization buyers; close to 65% of first quarter distribution was through loan sales. Our seller base continues to grow as more originators recognize the importance of serving a growing cohort of the workforce outside of the traditional “W-2 borrower,” most notably self-employed consumers and smaller-scale housing investors. As Aspire is a relatively nascent platform, a key focus remains scaling operations ratably with volume growth, in step with our emphasis on cost controls more broadly across the Company.

CoreVest, which typically sees a flurry of borrower activity prior to the end of each quarter, was proactive in response to rising rates and shifting market technicals. First quarter volume totaled $432 million, down modestly from the fourth quarter but with important progress in our smaller-balance residential transition loan (“RTL”) and DSCR products. In partnership with our customers, we managed the pipeline carefully in March as volatility increased, resulting in a lower monthly volume but the right outcome for borrowers who have since locked loans in April at more favorable all-in rates. The broader industry also continues to navigate uncertainty tied to proposed housing legislation – particularly provisions around ownership and disposition timelines for institutional SFR portfolios – that may impact market activity. While the process is fluid, we believe parts of the final legislation may create longer-term opportunities for CoreVest within our smaller-balance loan programs and for the platform more broadly if some of the less industry-favorable provisions are ultimately not adopted.

In support of our collective platforms, we are committing resources to the next phase of disruption in non-agency mortgage and private credit through disciplined, calibrated investments in AI and technology. Through RWT Horizons – our unified technology platform spanning internal AI innovation and strategic investments – we executed 2,500+ agentic workflows in the first quarter, broadened enterprise-wide AI fluency, and achieved a 66% quarter-over-quarter step-change in operational efficiency across automated mortgage banking functions. Horizons also saw continued progress with several portfolio companies, including follow-on raises at valuations well in excess of our original basis. With an expanding suite of AI-driven processes across data Quality Control, borrower intelligence, underwriting/closing automation, and portfolio analytics, we are

converting momentum from 2025 into tangible results in 2026 that are helping our platforms scale with improving unit economics through enhanced execution speed and operational efficiency. We believe our dual approach of AI adoption and direct development will serve as a long-term differentiator for Redwood, driving operating leverage higher in a capital-efficient manner.

Developments within the private corporate credit industry are also commanding our attention, where pressure is building and pockets of weakness in underlying fundamentals are emerging. Recent redemption activity highlights a shift in investor sentiment and a heightened focus on liquidity and transparency that is beginning to influence broader market technicals. It’s a good opportunity to remind our stakeholders of Redwood’s “Public Credit” model, in which investors gain unique access to credit strategies coupled with daily liquidity on a public exchange, and the transparency of independently reviewed quarterly public filings, annual audits, and mark-to-market accounting valuations booked through our income statement.

This value proposition has evolved into a key differentiator for our platform, as investors are able to understand and assess what we own and – as importantly during times like these – what we don’t. This thinking drove our decision to establish the Legacy Investments reporting segment in mid-2025. As this segment’s first quarter analysis highlights, serious delinquencies were roughly flat with the prior quarter, supporting our ability to continue managing a variety of resolution strategies and timelines to optimize returns. This included an accretive transaction in the first quarter backed in part by non-performing loans and REO properties that freed up approximately $70 million of capital and reduced associated warehouse exposure. Our capital allocated to this segment accordingly declined from 19% at year-end 2025 to 15% at March 31, 2026.

Looking ahead, there is still no resolution in the Middle East, no confirmed Fed Chair or clear direction for future monetary policy, and no transformational housing reforms out of Washington, as many had hoped. As the market seeks greater clarity, we have an executable plan to continue leveraging our best-in-class originator network and offering additional non-Agency products to the market. Importantly in this environment, the accretive value of retained capital has become increasingly apparent. Our mortgage banking platforms are built to efficiently generate recurring, scalable earnings from the capital dedicated to them, complemented by our more traditional REIT income streams derived from the investment portfolio. As this value dynamic continues to evolve, we remain focused on ways to optimize the alignment between our capital allocation, earnings profile, and the long-term value we deliver to shareholders.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

34 Non-GAAP Disclosures To supplement consolidated and segment financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company also provides Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”), EAD Return on Equity ("EAD ROE"), Core Segments Earnings Available for Distribution (“Core Segments EAD”) and Core Segments EAD Return on Equity ("Core Segments EAD ROE") as non-GAAP measures. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and management in evaluating the Company’s operating performance, facilitating comparisons to industry peers, and assessing the current income-generating capacity of the Company’s operating platforms as of the period presented, including the Company’s ability to pay dividends. These measures also assist in evaluating the Company’s ongoing transition to a more scalable and simplified business model, including the wind-down of legacy portfolio holdings within the Legacy Investments segment. These non-GAAP measures should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes. Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”) and EAD ROE are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company has historically reported and continues to use to present management’s non-GAAP analysis of the operating performance of the Company’s different business segments. EAD is defined, as GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders, adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition-related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges, as applicable; and (v) reflect a hypothetical income tax adjustment associated with these items. EAD ROE is defined as EAD divided by average common equity. ROC is a non-GAAP measure for a segment that is calculated as GAAP segment net income (loss) annualized divided by average capital utilized for the segment during the period. Average capital utilized represents management's internal estimate of the average economic capital allocated to support the activities of each segment. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we revised our segment reporting to allocate corporate financing costs and debt to our Sequoia, Aspire, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, Redwood Investments and Legacy Investments segments. This change had no impact on the consolidated financial statements and all prior period amounts were conformed to the current presentation. EAD ROC for a segment is calculated as non-GAAP segment EAD annualized divided by average capital utilized for the segment during the period. Average capital utilized represents management's internal estimate of the average economic capital allocated to support the activities of each segment, and for Q1’26 and Q4’25 were the following, respectively – Sequoia Mortgage Banking: $252 million and $228 million; Aspire Mortgage Banking: $94 million and $88 million; CoreVest Mortgage Banking: $40 million and $52 million; and Redwood Investments: $288 million and $275 million. Core Segments EAD and Core Segments EAD ROE represent management’s non-GAAP assessment of the combined performance of the Company’s mortgage banking platforms and related investments, which include the Sequoia Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking, and Redwood Investments segments (collectively, the “Core Segments”), together with an allocated portion of the Corporate segment attributable to those operations. Core Segments EAD excludes the Legacy Investments segment and the portion of the Corporate segment attributable to Legacy Investments. Core Segments EAD ROE is calculated as Core Segments EAD divided by the average capital utilized by the Core Segments during the period, which represents management’s internal estimate of the average economic capital allocated to support the Core Segments’ activities.

This change had no impact on the consolidated financial statements and all prior period amounts were conformed to the current presentation. 4. Core Segments EAD and Core Segments EAD ROE are non-GAAP measures and are used to present management’s non-GAAP analysis of the combined performance of the Company’s mortgage banking platforms and related investments (which are defined as the "Core Segments" and which consist of the Company’s Sequoia Mortgage Banking, Aspire Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Mortgage Banking and Redwood Investments segments), inclusive of an allocated portion of the Company’s Corporate segment relating to those Core Segments. Core Segments EAD excludes the Company’s Legacy Investments segment and excludes an allocated portion of the Company’s Corporate segment relating to the Legacy Investments segment. Core Segments EAD is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude GAAP net loss from the Legacy Investments Segment, (ii) exclude the portion of the Corporate Segment allocation relating to the Legacy Investments segment, (iii) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (iv) exclude realized gains and losses; (v) exclude acquisition related expenses; (vi) exclude certain organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (vii) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. Refer to footnote 13 below for the definition of Core Segments EAD ROE. 4. . 5. Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts within that same line item in our consolidated statements of (loss) income that are attributable to each segment, which primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments held in each segment and associated hedges. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on our HEI investments are reflected in a separate line item on our consolidated income statements titled "HEI income, net". 6. Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts within that line item on our consolidated statements of (loss) income that are attributable to each segment. 7. Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend and CoreVest acquisitions. 8. Organizational restructuring charges for the first quarter of 2026 represent costs associated with employee severance and related transition expenses. 9. Tax effect of adjustments represents the hypothetical income taxes associated with EAD adjustments used to calculate each segment EAD. 10. Allocation of Corporate Segment is based on the average capital utilized by the segment during the period, which represents management’s internal estimate of the average economic capital allocated to support the activities of each segment. 11. Core Segments EAD per basic common share is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as Core Segments EAD divided by basic weighted average common shares outstanding at the end of the period. 12. ROE consists of consolidated GAAP net income annualized divided by average common equity for the period. 13. Core Segments EAD ROE is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as Core Segments EAD annualized divided by average capital utilized by the Core Segments of $762 million and $726 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Average capital utilized is management's internal estimate of the average economic capital allocated to support the activities of the Core Segments.
