Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Walker & Dunlop names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 26, 2026: 30 risks under these headings, as written.7

  • Risks Relating to Our Business
  • The loss of, changes in, or disruptions to our relationships with the Agencies and institutional investors would adversely affect our ability to originate commercial real estate loans, which would materially and adversely affect us.
  • A change to the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and related actions, along with any changes in laws and regulations affecting the relationship between Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the U.S. federal government or the existence of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, could materially and adversely affect our business.
  • We are subject to risk of loss in connection with defaults on loans, including loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program, and could experience significant servicing advance obligations in connection with Fannie Mae and HUD loans we originate, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.
  • A reduction in the prices paid for our loans and services or an increase in loan or security interest rates required by investors could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
  • Interest rate movements, market volatility, and borrower financing preferences could reduce origination volumes, compress margins, and adversely affect our fee income and servicing assets.
  • The failure of banks or other major financial institutions, or sustained financial market illiquidity, could adversely affect our and our clients’ businesses and results of operations.
  • A significant portion of our revenue is derived from loan servicing fees, and declines in or terminations of servicing engagements or breaches of servicing agreements could have a material adverse effect on us.
  • If a significant number of our loan warehouse facilities, on which we are highly dependent, are terminated or reduced, we may be unable to find replacement financing on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on us.
  • We have been, and in the future may be, required to repurchase loans or indemnify loan purchasers due to breaches of representations or warranties we have made, either as a result of our actions or based on information provided to us by borrowers or third parties in connection with the sale of loans to third parties, including through the Agencies’ programs, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
  • We own and operate multifamily properties as a result of foreclosures or other acquisitions that involve risks that could adversely affect our business and financial results.
  • We have made various investments that are funded with corporate capital. These investments may involve a greater risk of loss than our traditional real estate lending activities.
The other 19 risks
  • (iii)Investments in LIHTC equity funds
  • We have contractual obligations that will require significant uses of capital. Our ability to fund these uses of capital is dependent on both our results of operations and our ability to access capital markets. A decline in the results of our operations, an inability to access capital markets, or an increase in the cost of capital may materially affect our operations.
  • We are dependent upon the success of the multifamily real estate sector, and conditions that negatively impact the multifamily sector may reduce demand for our products and services and materially and adversely affect us.
  • The loss of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer could result in a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
  • We intend to drive a significant portion of our future growth through additional strategic acquisitions or investments in new markets, new ventures and new lines of business. If we do not successfully identify, complete and integrate such acquisitions or investments, our growth may be limited. Additionally, expansion of our business domestically or internationally may place significant demands on our administrative, operational, and financial resources, and the acquired businesses or new ventures may not perform as we expect them to or become profitable.
  • There is a risk of unfavorable changes to, or elimination of governmental programs that could limit the product offerings of our affordable housing real estate services.
  • Our role as a sponsor of investment funds and co-developer of affordable properties exposes us to risks of loss.
  • Noncompliance with various requirements by the affordable housing partnerships could impair our investors’ right to LIHTCs and have a negative impact on our business.
  • We maintain cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Adverse developments affecting systematically important financial institutions, including bank failures, could adversely affect our liquidity and financial performance.
  • We are subject to various risks associated with climate change and other ESG matters.
  • Risks Relating to Regulatory Matters
  • If we fail to comply with the numerous government regulations and program requirements of the Agencies, we may lose our approved lender status with these entities and fail to gain additional approvals or licenses for our business. We are also subject to changes in laws, regulations and existing Agency program requirements, including with regard to underwriting and asset management requirements and potential increases in reserve and risk retention requirements that could increase our costs and affect the way we conduct our business, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • As a registered broker-dealer, one of our subsidiaries is subject to extensive regulation that exposes us to a variety of risks associated with the securities industry.
  • If we fail to comply with laws, regulations and market standards regarding the privacy, use, and security of customer information, or if we are the target of a successful cyberattack, we may be subject to legal and regulatory actions and our reputation would be harmed.
  • Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
  • Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control.
  • Our authorized but unissued shares of common and preferred stock may prevent a change in control of the Company.
  • Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited, which could limit our stockholders’ recourse in the event actions are taken that are not in our stockholders’ best interests.
  • Our charter contains limitations on our stockholders’ ability to remove our directors, which could make it difficult for our stockholders to effect changes to our management.
  • We are a holding company with minimal direct operations and rely largely on funds received from our subsidiaries for our cash requirements.
  • Risks Related to Our Financial Statements
  • Our financial statements are based in part on assumptions and estimates which, if wrong, could result in unexpected cash and non-cash losses in the future, and our financial statements depend on our internal control over financial reporting.
  • Our existing goodwill could become impaired, which may require us to take significant non-cash charges.

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may be party to various claims and litigation, none of which we believe is material. We cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties, and other costs, and our reputation and business may be impacted. Our management believes that any liability that could be imposed on us in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.
