In its 10-K report, Arbor Realty Trust highlighted its operating performance, driven primarily by factors such as net interest income earned on investments, fees and other revenues from originating, selling, and servicing mortgage loans, income earned from structured transactions, and the credit quality of its loans and investments, including its servicing portfolio.
