The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. For additional information on the other valuation methodologies used by the Company, see Note 3—“Fair Value”in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Securities—trading and available-for-sale. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company purchased United States Treasury securities that it classified as available‑for‑sale. These securities are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent Consideration. The fair value of the Contingent Consideration liability is determined using a Nelson-Siegel stochastic simulation, which models various scenarios based on business forecasts, including monthly asset growth of the Verdant business and other inputs in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The resulting simulated cash flows are then discounted to present value and averaged to determine fair value.
The following tables present additional information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

1 Earnings from servicing rights were attributable to: time and payoffs, representing a decrease in servicing rights value due to passage of time, including the impact from both regularly scheduled loan principal payments and loans that were paid down or paid off during the period of $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and a decrease in servicing rights value resulting from market-driven changes in interest rates of $1.0 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Additions to servicing rights were related to purchases and servicing rights retained upon sale of loans held for sale.

The table below summarizes the quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements:

1 The weighted average for Available-for-sale securities: Non-agency MBS is based on the relative fair value of the securities, for Servicing Rights is based on the relative unpaid principal of the loans being serviced and for Accounts payable and other liabilities—Contingent Consideration.is based on annual projected consideration.
For non-agency mortgage-backed securities, a significant increase (decrease) in default rate, loss severity (potentially offset by the level of credit enhancement) or discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, while a significant increase in the voluntary prepayment rate would result in a significant increase in fair value if the security is valued below par value, or a significant decrease in fair value if the security is valued above par value. Generally, a change in the assumptions used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the voluntary prepayment rate.
For servicing rights, significant increases in the voluntary prepayment rate or discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement, while a significant increase in expected life in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the voluntary prepayment rate is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in expected life.
For the Contingent Consideration, a significant increase (decrease) in the asset growth in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

The carrying amount represents the estimated fair value for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, stock of regulatory agencies, interest-bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt and for variable rate loans, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. A discussion of the methods of valuing trading securities, available-for-sale securities, loans held for sale and derivatives can be found in Note 3—“Fair Value”in the 2025 Form 10-K.
