Redwood Trust Highlights Continued Aspire Momentum and AI-Powered Technology;

Provides Preliminary Second Quarter Business Update

MILL VALLEY, CA – Redwood Trust, Inc. (NYSE:RWT; "Redwood", the "Company"), a leader in expanding access to housing for homebuyers and renters, today provided the following update regarding its Aspire business and selected consolidated operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Aspire Update

Christopher J. Abate, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Our mortgage banking businesses continued their momentum in the second quarter, with aggregate volumes of over $8 billion despite continued geopolitical and interest rate volatility, and subdued overall housing market activity. This included another record production quarter from our Aspire non-QM business, which contributed $2.1 billion of lock volume, up 32% sequentially from the first quarter.”

Distribution and technology remain central to the platform’s growth. Aspire recently completed its second and third securitization issuances under the SPIRE shelf, and has grown its correspondent network to 140 discrete loan sellers. In support of rapid and scalable growth, Aspire has also recently developed and launched proprietary AI-powered engines for non-QM secondary market pricing and guideline comparison and analysis.

Abate continued, “These new tools deliver unified loan-level pricing and underwriting functions across bulk and flow channels, and are innovations that will support a dedicated Aspire joint venture. Key terms and documentation for this new joint venture have been fully negotiated with an institutional capital partner, and we expect to begin contributing loans to the JV during the third quarter.”

Second Quarter Business Update

During the second quarter, Redwood’s core operating businesses continued to execute with strong margins in the face of elevated market volatility. The Company currently estimates a modest 1 to 3% decline in GAAP book value at June 30, 2026 from the end of the first quarter of 2026, inclusive of its Legacy Investments segment, with an economic return on book value(1) for the second quarter currently estimated between (1.0)% and 1.0%, inclusive of its $0.18 per share second quarter dividend. Additionally, the Company maintained its strong liquidity profile, completing a successful corporate unsecured senior notes offering in May, and maintaining $3.5 billion of excess available asset funding capacity at June 30, 2026.

The Company expects to report full second quarter financial results on July 28, 2026.

1.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.

REDWOOD TRUST ANNOUNCES UPSIZED COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION TO $150 MILLION

MILL VALLEY, CA – Redwood Trust, Inc. (NYSE: RWT; “Redwood” or the “Company”), a leader in expanding access to housing for homebuyers and renters, today announced that its Board of Directors has upsized the Company’s authorization to repurchase common stock to $150 million. This stock repurchase authorization has no time limit and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. The Board of Directors also continued its previous authorization for the repurchase of outstanding preferred stock and corporate debt securities.

“The Board’s decision to increase our share repurchase capacity to $150 million reflects our strong conviction in the intrinsic value of our stock, the strength of our operating platforms, and our strategic positioning,” said Christopher Abate, Chief Executive Officer of Redwood. “Having initiated common stock repurchases in the second quarter 2025, we intend to use this expanded authorization proactively to support our stock and drive shareholder value. Our strategic transition to a more scalable and simplified operating model entails an ongoing focus on partnerships with strategic capital providers—including those not only looking to acquire assets that our platforms originate or source, but also to invest directly in the expansion of our business.”

The timing and amount of stock repurchases made pursuant to the Redwood’s repurchase authorization are at the Company’s discretion and subject to various factors, including the Company's capital position, liquidity, financial performance and alternative uses of capital, stock trading price, regulatory requirements and general market conditions. This repurchase authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or securities. Repurchases of shares or securities by the Company may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including repurchase plans that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

EXHIBIT 99.1

Exhibit 99.1

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

During extraordinary times like these, the past quarter seems like a distant memory, and our remarks may become outdated before the ink on this letter dries. With that context in mind, We’ll avoid burying the lede: Redwood has navigated this April crisis period for the broader financial markets in a position of strength. Our estimated GAAP book value at April 21, 2025, is up 1% to 1.5% from our March 31, 2025, GAAP book value per share of $8.39.

What should pique the interest of our long-term

shareholders is that the results of our strategic objectives have begun to take hold. While the large money-center banks recently reported quarterly mortgage volume declines of 20% to 30%, our jumbo lock volumes rose 73% from the prior quarter to $4 billion, our highest quarterly volume since the third quarter of 2021 – a period of extreme quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve. Growth in quarterly flow production was supplemented by the acquisition of large, seasoned loan pools from both money-center and regional banks, driving an annualized return on equity (“ROE”) for this segment of 28% for the first quarter 2025, with margins remaining above our historical target range. After making significant inroads with depositories over the past few years, bulk activity with banks now represents a unique and active addressable market for us.

During the first quarter, we announced a streamlining of our mortgage banking businesses that bears repeating. Our flagship qualified mortgage (“QM”) correspondent jumbo loan business now operates under the Sequoia brand. In complement, our Aspire platform now includes both our expanded / “non-QM” consumer correspondent business – tailored to borrowers requiring an alternative underwriting approach – and home equity investment options (“HEI”) that we originate ourselves. Lastly, CoreVest remains the platform through which we lend directly to housing investors. In combination, these business lines encompass the broadest suite of non-Agency products available in the marketplace, connecting borrowers not well-served by government programs with global asset allocators seeking exposure to U.S. housing.

Having these foundational pillars established is incredibly timely, as rapidly emerging dynamics in housing finance policy in Washington have the potential to create a significant greenfield for our platform. Recent activity by the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) has ushered in aggressive restructuring at the GSEs, including mass workforce reductions, board turnover, and ideological shifts aimed at reassessing their housing footprint. To wit, in recent years taxpayers have found themselves backstopping GSE mortgages over $1 million, mortgages on investment or vacation homes not occupied by homeowners, second-lien mortgages, and other products not squarely aligned with the government’s housing mission. With key personnel positions now filled at the FHFA and elsewhere, we remain optimistic that policymakers and regulators are poised to reorient the GSEs toward their core housing missions, with much of this work likely to precede any plan for a full release from conservatorship. In support of these efforts, we will continue advocating for the private sector solutions that Redwood offers, and we are positioned to seamlessly serve homebuyers to the extent there is a near-term shift in the GSE footprint and, hopefully, more comprehensive long-term structural changes.

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.

Solidifying our product reach thus continues to be a priority. Following January’s successful launch of new expanded loan programs, Aspire achieved inaugural volume of over $100 million in the first quarter, across nearly 25 sellers, including large mortgage originators who have recently broadened their mandates to include this type of lending. Aspire’s current focus is targeted at origination criteria outside of the conventional “W-2” borrower, a historically manual underwriting discipline that can be uniquely influenced by technology enhancements. This notably includes artificial intelligence (“AI”), a technology that continues to dominate the tech landscape. Redwood is actively developing its own data and AI capabilities to more effectively harness this potential and transform the borrowing experience for the prospe
