For the quarter, the segment recognized adjusted net income of $5 million as a result of improved revenue margins and reduced expenses. Within our Reverse business, funded volume decreased to $423 million, or down 3% from the prior quarter due to seasonality and the consolidation to one loan origination system during the quarter. First quarter revenue increased 12% from the fourth quarter to $46 million as margins improved as a result of spread tightening throughout the first quarter. Revenue margin in the first quarter was 10.8% compared to 9.2% in the prior quarter.
Portfolio Management
The Portfolio Management segment primarily generates revenue and earnings in the form of fair value gains or losses on portfolio assets and the sale or securitization of loans.

For the quarter, the segment recognized adjusted net income of $6 million, an improvement against break-even for the prior quarter primarily due to increased yield on the Company's retained interests in securitized loans held for investment. Net fair value adjustments during the first quarter totaled $7 million as changes in market interest rates were more than offset by credit spread and home price appreciation adjustments.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only management's beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company's control. It is possible that our actual results, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes," "predicts," "potential," "continue," and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this release. Results for any specified quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. A number of important factors exist that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: our ability to manage the unique challenges presented by operating as a modern retirement solutions platform rather than a vertically-integrated, diversified lending and complementary services platform due to the transformation of our business; our ability to successfully operate the recently integrated lending platform that we acquired from American Advisors Group in March 2023 and generally, our ability to operate our business profitably; our ability to respond to significant changes in prevailing interest rates and to resume profitable business operations; our geographic market concentration if the economic conditions in our current markets should decline or if our current markets are impacted by natural disasters; our use of estimates in measuring or determining the fair value of the majority of our financial assets and liabilities, which may require us to write down the value of these assets or write up the value of these liabilities if the estimates prove to be incorrect; our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors in our business markets and worldwide financial markets, including a sustained period of higher interest rates; our ability to manage changes in our licensing status, business relationships or servicing guidelines with the Government National Mortgage Association, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development or other governmental entities; our ability to obtain sufficient capital and liquidity to meet the financing and operational requirements of our business and our ability to comply with our debt agreements, including warehouse lending facilities, and pay down our substantial debt; our ability to refinance our debt on reasonable terms as it becomes due; our ability to manage disruptions in the secondary home loan market, including the mortgage-backed securities market; our ability to finance and recover costs of our reverse mortgage servicing operations; our ability to maintain compliance with the extensive regulations we are subject to, including consumer protection laws applicable to reverse mortgage lenders, which may be highly complex; our ability to compete with national banks, which are not subject to state licensing and operational requirements; our ability to manage various legal proceedings, federal or state governmental examinations and enforcement investigations we are subject to from time to time, the results of which are difficult to predict or estimate; our continued ability to remain in compliance with the terms of the consent orders issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which we assumed in connection with our acquisition of operational assets from American Advisors Group; our holding company status and dependency on distributions from Finance of America Equity Capital LLC; our ability to comply with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and avoid the delisting of our common stock from trading on its exchange; our common stock trading history has been characte
