Market and Competitive Landscape

- GAAP earnings are sensitive to assumptions regarding the hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) method, particularly regarding partnership "flip" structures and tax attribute allocations.
- Actual results may differ materially from forward-looking guidance due to changes in yield, transaction volume, capital costs, and market environments.
