"Looking to 2025, we expect continued growth in net interest margin and maintenance of reduced operating expense, supported by opportunistic capital markets participation,” Prabhu continued. “As always, we will remain committed to creating long-term shareholder value through disciplined risk management, securitization execution, and strategic capital deployment.”
