SERVICING ASSETS
NOTE 7—SERVICING ASSETS:
Servicing assets held by NSBF are measured at fair value and the Company performs valuations on a quarterly basis. Servicing assets held by Newtek Bank, including Newtek Bank’s subsidiary SBL, are measured at lower of cost or market where the assets are initially recorded at fair value, then subsequently amortized, and assessed for impairment each reporting period.
The Company earns servicing fees from the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans it originates and sells and for the portfolios of ALP loans SBL services for NCL JV and TSO JV.
The following table summarizes the unpaid principle balance of loans serviced at December 31, 2024 and 2023:
