CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may also be made in other documents filed or furnished with the SEC or may be made orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others.

 

Generally, forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent only our current beliefs regarding future events. All forward-looking statements are, by their nature, subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Such statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could”. Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

 

·            the impact of the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements on our financial statements;

 

·            future origination volumes and loan margins in the mortgage industry;

 

·            our belief that sources of liquidity will be adequate to fund operations and repayment of upcoming debt maturities;

 

·            our expectations regarding our ability to achieve our liquidity plans;

 

·            our expectation of reinsurance losses and associated reserves; and

 

·            mortgage repurchase and indemnification requests and associated reserves and provisions.

 

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and discussed in “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q and those factors described below:

 

·             the effects of market volatility or macroeconomic changes on the availability and cost of our financing arrangements and the value of our assets;

 

·             the effects of a continued decline in the volume of U.S. home sales and home prices, due to adverse economic changes or otherwise, on our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments;

 

·             the effects of changes in current interest rates on our business and our financing costs;

 

·             our decisions regarding the use of derivatives related to mortgage servicing rights, if any, and the resulting potential volatility of the results of operations of our Mortgage Servicing segment;

 

·             the impact of the failure to maintain our credit ratings, including the impact on our cost of capital and ability to incur new indebtedness or refinance our existing indebtedness, as well as our current or potential customers’ assessment of our counterparty credit risk;

 

·             the effects of continued elevated volumes or increases in our actual and projected repurchases of, indemnification given in respect of, or related losses associated with, sold mortgage loans for which we have provided representations and warranties or other contractual recourse to purchasers and insurers of such loans, including increases in our loss severity and reserves associated with such loans;

 

·             the effects of reinsurance claims in excess of projected levels and in excess of reinsurance premiums we are entitled to receive or amounts currently held in trust to pay such claims;

 

·             the effects of any significant adverse changes in the underwriting criteria or existence or programs of government-sponsored entities, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including any changes caused by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other actions of the federal government;

 

1



Table of Contents

 

·             the effects of any inquiries and investigations by attorneys general of certain states and the U.S. Department of Justice, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or other state or federal regulatory agencies related to foreclosure procedures or other mortgage origination or servicing activities, any litigation related to our mortgage origination or servicing activities, or any related fines, penalties and increased costs;

 

·             the ability to maintain our status as a government sponsored entity-approved seller and servicer, including the ability to continue to comply with the respective selling and servicing guides, including any changes caused by the Dodd-Frank Act;

 

·             changes in laws and regulations, including changes in mortgage- and real estate-related laws and regulations (including changes caused by the Dodd-Frank Act) status of government sponsored-entities and state, federal and foreign tax laws and accounting standards;

 

·             the effects of the insolvency of any of the counterparties to our significant customer contracts or financing arrangements or the inability or unwillingness of such counterparties to perform their respective obligations under, or to renew on terms favorable to us, such contracts, or our ability to continue to comply with the terms of our significant customer contracts, including service level agreements;

 

·             the effects of competition in our existing and potential future lines of business, including the impact of consolidation within the industries in which we operate and competitors with greater financial resources and broader product lines;

 

·             the ability to obtain financing (including refinancing and extending existing indebtedness) on acceptable terms, if at all, to finance our operations or growth strategy, to operate within the limitations imposed by our financing arrangements and to maintain the amount of cash required to service our indebtedness;

 

·             the ability to maintain our relationships with our existing clients and to establish relationships with new clients;

 

·             the ability to attract and retain key employees;

 

·             a deterioration in the performance of assets held as collateral for secured borrowings;

 

·             any failure to comply with covenants under our financing arrangements; and

 

·             the impact of changes in the U.S. financial condition and fiscal and monetary policies, or any actions taken or to be taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on the credit markets and the U.S. economy.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made.  Factors and assumptions discussed above, and other factors not identified above, may have an impact on the continued accuracy of any forward-looking statements that we make. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, “PHH” or the “Company”) is a leading outsource provider of mortgage and fleet management services operating in the following business segments:

 

·         Mortgage Production — provides mortgage loan origination services and sells mortgage loans.

 

·         Mortgage Servicing — performs servicing activities for originated and purchased loans.

 

·         Fleet Management Services — provides commercial fleet management services.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of PHH and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling interest and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. PHH Home Loans, LLC and its subsidiaries are consolidated within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and Realogy Corporation’s ownership interest is presented as a noncontrolling interest.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which is commonly referred to as GAAP, for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

On March 31, 2011, the Company sold 50.1% of the equity interests in its appraisal services business, Speedy Title and Appraisal Review Services, (“STARS”) to CoreLogic, Inc. for a total purchase price of $35 million.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, a $68 million gain on the sale of the 50.1% equity interest was recorded within Other income.  Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company participates in the appraisal services business through its 49.9% ownership interest in STARS, and is entitled to its proportionate share of STARS’ earnings.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those related to the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, mortgage loans held for sale, other financial instruments and goodwill, the estimation of liabilities for mortgage loan repurchases and indemnifications and reinsurance losses, and the determination of certain income tax assets and liabilities and associated valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Unless otherwise noted and except for share and per share data, dollar amounts presented within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in millions.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Comprehensive Income.  In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”.  Subsequently in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”. The updates to comprehensive income guidance require all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements.  In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income.  The Company adopted the new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2012, and applied it retrospectively.  The adoption added the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 

Fair Value Measurement.  In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards”.  This update to fair value measurement guidance addresses changes to concepts regarding performing fair value measurements including: (i) the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise; (ii) the valuation of an instrument classified in the reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity; (iii) the valuation of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio; and (iv) the application of premiums and discounts.  This update also enhances disclosure requirements about fair value measurements, including providing information regarding Level 3 measurements such as quantitative information about unobservable inputs, further discussion of the valuation processes used and assumption sensitivity analysis.  The Company adopted the new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2012.  The updated disclosures are included in Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements”.

 

Transfers and Servicing.  In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”.  This update to transfers and servicing guidance removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee.  This update also eliminates the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.  The Company adopted the new accounting guidance effective beginning January 1, 2012 and the guidance will be applied prospectively to new transactions or modifications of existing transactions.  The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

2.  Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share attributable to PHH Corporation was computed by dividing Net income attributable to PHH Corporation for the period by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to PHH Corporation was computed by dividing Net income attributable to PHH Corporation for the period by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued.

 

The weighted-average computation of the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Common stock under the treasury stock method excludes the effect of any contingently issuable securities where the contingency has not been met as well as the effect of securities that would be anti-dilutive, which may include: (i) outstanding stock-based compensation awards representing shares from restricted stock units and stock options; (ii) stock assumed to be issued related to convertible notes; (iii) purchased options and sold warrants related to the assumed conversion of the 2012 Convertible notes; and (iv) sold warrants related to the Company’s 2014 Convertible notes.  The computation also excludes the assumed issuance of the 2014 Convertible notes and related purchased options as they are currently to be settled only in cash. Shares associated with anti-dilutive securities are outlined in the table below.

4.  Transfers and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

 

Residential mortgage loans are sold through one of the following methods: (i) sales to or pursuant to programs sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, or (ii) sales to private investors. The Company may have continuing involvement in mortgage loans sold by retaining one or more of the following: servicing rights and servicing obligations, recourse obligations and/or beneficial interests (such as interest-only strips, principal-only strips, or subordinated interests).  See Note 9, “Credit Risk” for a further description of recourse obligations.

 

The total servicing portfolio consists of loans associated with capitalized mortgage servicing rights, loans held for sale, and the servicing portfolio associated with loans subserviced for others.  The total servicing portfolio, including loans subserviced for others was $184.9 billion and $182.4 billion as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are related to the capitalized servicing portfolio, and are created either through the direct purchase of servicing from a third party, or through the sale of an originated loan.

(2)             Maturities of convertible notes have been reflected based on the contractual maturity date.  Under certain circumstances, the convertible notes may be converted prior to the earliest conversion date and the principal portion of the notes would be due in cash prior to the contractual maturity date.

 

In April 2012, the $199 million of remaining principal for the Convertible Notes due 2012 was repaid in full.  The Company has developed a liquidity and capital plan to address other upcoming unsecured debt maturities with a focus on efforts to ensure that its operations are cash flow positive and may seek to dispose of certain assets or seek alternative funding sources.

 

Capacity under all borrowing agreements is dependent upon maintaining compliance with, or obtaining waivers of, the terms, conditions and covenants of the respective agreements.  Available capacity under asset-backed funding arrangements may be further limited by asset eligibility requirements.  Available capacity under committed borrowing arrangements as of March 31, 2012 consisted of:

Credit Facilities

 

Credit facilities primarily represents an Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2006, among PHH, a group of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, $525 million of commitments under the Amended Credit Facility were extended to February 28, 2013.

 

Convertible Notes

 

As of March 31, 2012, Convertible notes include: (i) a private offering of $199 million of 4.0% Convertible senior notes with a maturity date of April 15, 2012; (ii) a private offering of $250 million of 4.0% Convertible senior notes with a maturity date of September 1, 2014; and (iii) a public offering of $250 million of 6.0% Convertible senior notes with a maturity date of June 15, 2017.

 

2012 CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company purchased $51 million of its Convertible notes due 2012 in the open market, resulting in an insignificant gain on the extinguishment of debt.  The remaining amount of Convertible Notes due 2012 was repaid in April 2012 as discussed in Note 15, “Subsequent Events”.

 

2014 CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying amount of the Convertible notes due 2014 is net of an unamortized discount of $36 million and $40 million, respectively.  The effective interest rate of the convertible notes, which includes the accretion of the discount and issuance costs, was 13.0% as of March 31, 2012.  There have been no conversions of the convertible notes since issuance.

 

2017 CONVERTIBLE NOTES ISSUANCE

 

In January 2012, the Company completed an offering of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017, governed by an indenture dated January 17, 2012 with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.  After deducting the 3% underwriting discount and debt issue costs, the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $243 million from the issuance.  The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated debt.  The notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to the maturity date.  The Company has used the net proceeds from this offering to repay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Convertible notes due 2012.

 

Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2012. The notes mature on June 15, 2017, unless previously repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the liability and equity components of the Convertible notes due 2017 were separately accounted for based on estimates of the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the time of issuance.  Accordingly, the liability component includes an original issue discount of $63 million, including the underwriting discount, and the value of the equity component is recorded separately.  Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $1 million of debt issue costs, which were allocated to the liability and equity components based on their relative fair values.  At the time of issuance, the Company determined that the conversion option related to the 2017 notes was indexed to the Company’s own stock and met all of the criteria for equity classification.  Accordingly, the initial valuation of the liability component was $188 million recorded within Debt, and the initial valuation of the equity component was $33 million, net of $22 million of deferred taxes, recorded within Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Since the conversion option met all of the criteria for equity classification, there have been no changes in value recorded from the date of issuance.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The debt discount and issuance costs allocated to the liability are being accreted to Mortgage interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations through the earliest conversion date of the notes, December 16, 2016.  As of March 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the Convertible notes due 2017 is net of an unamortized discount of $61 million.  The effective interest rate of the 2017 convertible note series, which includes the cost of amortization of the discount and issuance costs, is 13.0%.

 

Conversion Features:

 

Holders of the Convertible notes due 2017 may convert all or any portion of the notes, at their option, prior to December 15, 2016 only upon the occurrence of certain triggering events related to (i) the price of the notes, (ii) the price of the Company’s Common stock, or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.  Holders of the Convertible notes due 2017 may convert all or any portion of the notes at any time, at their option from, and including, December 15, 2016 through the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

 

Conversion Based on Note Price

 

Prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding December 15, 2016, the notes may be converted during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes for each day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for the notes of such date.

 

Conversion Based on Stock Price

 

Prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding December 15, 2016, the notes may be converted during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2012 and only during such calendar quarter, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price in effect for the notes on each such trading day.

 

The conversion price of the Convertible notes due 2017 is $12.79 per share (based on an initial conversion rate of 78.2014 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes).  Upon conversion, the principal amount of the converted notes is payable in cash and the Company will pay or deliver (at its election): (i) cash; (ii) shares of the Company’s common stock; or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock; to settle amounts due if the conversion value exceeds the principal of the converted notes.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, the holders of the Convertible notes due 2017 may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes upon a fundamental change, as defined under the indenture.  The Company will generally be required to increase the conversion rate for holders that elect to convert their notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change. The conversion rate and the conversion price will be subject to adjustment in certain events as specified in the indenture; however, in no circumstance will the conversion rate exceed 97.7517 per $1,000 in principal amount of notes.

 

DEBT COVENANTS

 

Certain debt arrangements require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and contain affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, material adverse change, liquidity maintenance, restrictions on indebtedness of the Company and its material subsidiaries, mergers, liens, liquidations, sale and leaseback transactions, and restrictions on certain types of payments, including dividends and stock repurchases.

 

There were no significant amendments to the terms of debt covenants during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to its debt arrangements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Under certain of the Company’s financing, servicing, hedging and related agreements and instruments, the lenders or trustees have the right to notify the Company if they believe it has breached a covenant under the operative documents and may declare an event of default. If one or more notices of default were to be given, the Company believes it would have various periods in which to cure certain of such events of default. If it does not cure the events of default or obtain necessary waivers within the required time periods, the maturity of some of its debt could be accelerated and its ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted. In addition, an event of default or acceleration under certain agreements and instruments would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of its other agreements and instruments.

 

8.   Income Taxes

 

Interim income tax expense or benefit is recorded by applying a projected full-year effective income tax rate to the quarterly Income before income taxes for results that are deemed to be reliably estimable. Certain results dependent on fair value adjustments of the Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments are considered not to be reliably estimable and therefore discrete year-to-date income tax provisions are recorded on those results.

 

Income tax expense was significantly impacted by the following items that increased (decreased) the effective tax rate:

State and local income taxes, net of federal tax benefits.  The impact to the effective tax rate from state and local income taxes primarily represents the volatility in the pre-tax income or loss, as well as the mix of income and loss from the operations by entity and state income tax jurisdiction.  The effective state tax rate was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 2011.

 

Liabilities for income tax contingencies. The impact to the effective tax rate from changes in the liabilities for income tax contingencies primarily represents decreases in liabilities associated with the resolution and settlement with various taxing authorities, partially offset by increases in liabilities associated with new uncertain tax positions taken during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the IRS concluded its examination and review of the Company’s taxable years 2006 through 2009.

 

Changes in rate and apportionment factors. Represents the impact to the effective tax rate on deferred tax items for changes in apportionment factors and tax rate.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the amount represents the impact of applying statutory changes to apportionment weight, apportionment sourcing and corporate income tax rates that were enacted by various states, primarily New Jersey.

 

Changes in valuation allowance.  The impact to the effective tax rate from changes in valuation allowance primarily represents state loss carryforwards generated during the year for which the Company believes it is more likely than not that the amounts will not be realized.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the change was primarily driven by tax losses generated by our mortgage business.

Table of Contents

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Noncontrolling interest.  The impact to the effective tax rate from noncontrolling interest represents Realogy Corporation’s portion of income taxes related to the income or loss attributable to PHH Home Loans.  The impact primarily represents the impact of PHH Home Loans’ election to report as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, whereby, the tax expense is reported by the individual LLC members.  Accordingly, the Company’s Income tax expense includes only its proportionate share of the income tax related to the income or loss generated by PHH Home Loans.

 

9.   Credit Risk

 

The Company is subject to the following forms of credit risk:

 

·      Consumer credit risk—through mortgage banking activities as a result of originating and servicing residential mortgage loans

 

·      Commercial credit risk—through fleet management and leasing activities

 

·      Counterparty credit risk—through derivative transactions, sales agreements and various mortgage loan origination and servicing agreements

 

Consumer Credit Risk

 

The Company is not subject to the majority of the risks inherent in maintaining a mortgage loan portfolio because loans are not held for investment purposes and are generally sold to investors within 30 days of origination.  The majority of mortgage loan sales are on a non-recourse basis; however, the Company has exposure in certain circumstances in its capacity as a loan originator and servicer to loan repurchases and indemnifications through representation and warranty provisions.  Additionally, the Company has exposure through its reinsurance agreements that are inactive and in runoff.

 

Loan performance is an indicator of the inherent risk associated with our origination and servicing activities.  In limited circumstances, the Company has exposure to possible losses on loans within the servicing portfolio due to loan repurchases and indemnifications, as further discussed below.

Foreclosure-Related Reserves

 

Representations and warranties are provided to purchasers and insurers on a significant portion of loans sold and are assumed on purchased mortgage servicing rights.  In the event of a breach of these representations and warranties, the Company may be required to repurchase a mortgage loan or indemnify the purchaser, and any loss on the mortgage loan may be borne by the Company. If there is no breach of a representation and warranty provision, there is no obligation to repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor against loss.  In limited circumstances, the full risk of loss on loans sold is retained to the extent the liquidation of the underlying collateral is insufficient. In some instances where the Company has purchased loans from third parties, it may have the ability to recover the loss from the third party.  Foreclosure-related reserves are maintained for probable losses related to repurchase and indemnification obligations and on-balance sheet loans in foreclosure and real estate owned.

Foreclosure-related reserves consist of the following:

 

Loan Repurchases and Indemnifications

 

The maximum exposure to representation and warranty provisions exceeds the amount of loans in the capitalized portfolio of $149.7 billion; however, the maximum amount of losses cannot be estimated because the Company does not service all of the loans for which it has provided representations or warranties.  As of March 31, 2012, approximately $213 million of loans have been identified in which the Company has full risk of loss or has identified a breach of representation and warranty provisions; 11% of which were at least 90 days delinquent (calculated based upon the unpaid principal balance of the loans).

 

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, liabilities for probable losses related to repurchase and indemnification obligations of $135 million and $95 million, respectively, are included in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The liability for loan repurchases and indemnifications represents management’s estimate of probable losses based on the best information available and requires the application of a significant level of judgment and the use of a number of assumptions. These assumptions include the estimated amount and timing of repurchase and indemnification requests, the expected success rate in defending against

 

22



Table of Contents

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

requests, and estimated loss severities on repurchases and indemnifications.    While the Company uses the best information available in estimating the liability, the estimation process is inherently uncertain and imprecise.  Given the increased levels of repurchase requests and realized losses in recent periods, there is a reasonable possibility that future losses may be in excess of the recorded liability. 

 

As of March 31, 2012, the estimated amount of reasonably possible losses in excess of the recorded liability was $140 million. This estimate assumes that repurchase and indemnification requests remain at an elevated level through the year ended December 31, 2013, the success rate in defending against requests declines and loss severities remain at current levels.  The Company’s estimate of reasonably possible losses does not represent probable losses and is based upon significant judgments and assumptions which can be influenced by many factors, including: (i) home prices and the levels of home equity; (ii) the criteria used by investors in selecting loans to request: (iii) borrower delinquency patterns; and (iv) general economic conditions.

Mortgage Reinsurance

 

The Company has exposure to consumer credit risk through losses from two contracts with primary mortgage insurance companies that are inactive and in runoff.  The exposure to losses through these reinsurance contracts is based on mortgage loans pooled by year of origination.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the contractual reinsurance period for each pool was 10 years and the weighted-average reinsurance period was 4 years.  Loss rates on these pools are determined based on the unpaid principal balance of the underlying loans.  The Company indemnifies the primary mortgage insurers for losses that fall between a stated minimum and maximum loss rate on each annual pool.  In return for absorbing this loss exposure, the Company is contractually entitled to a portion of the insurance premium from the primary mortgage insurers.

 

The Company is required to hold cash and securities in trust related to this potential obligation, which were $205 million, included in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2012.  The amount of cash and securities held in trust is contractually specified in the reinsurance agreements and is based on the original risk assumed under the contracts and the incurred losses to date.

 

As of March 31, 2012, $72 million was included in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for incurred and incurred but not reported losses associated with mortgage reinsurance activities (estimated on an undiscounted basis), which includes $7 million of known unpaid reinsurance losses outstanding.

10.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

In January 2012, the Company was notified that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau had opened an investigation to determine whether the Company’s mortgage insurance premium ceding practices to captive reinsurers comply with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and other laws enforced by the CFPB. The CFPB requested certain related documents and information for review.  The Company has provided reinsurance services in exchange for premiums ceded and believe that we have complied with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and other laws.  The Company did not provide reinsurance on loans originated after 2009. There can be no assurance whether or not this investigation will result in the imposition of any penalties and fines against us or our subsidiaries.

12.  Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company updates the valuation of each instrument recorded at fair value on a quarterly basis, evaluating all available observable information which may include current market prices or bids, recent trade activity, changes in the levels of market activity and benchmarking of industry data.  The assessment also includes consideration of identifying the valuation approach that would be used currently by market participants.  If it is determined that a change in valuation technique or its application is appropriate, or if there are other changes in availability of observable data or market activity, the current methodology will be analyzed to determine if a transfer between levels of the valuation hierarchy is appropriate.  Such reclassifications are reported as transfers into or out of a level as of the beginning of the quarter that the change occurs.

 

The incorporation of counterparty credit risk did not have a significant impact on the valuation of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value as of March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

Discussion of the measurement of fair value for the assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis follows:

Derivative Instruments. The average pullthrough percentage used in measuring the fair value of Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”) was 75% and 74% as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The pullthrough percentage is considered a significant unobservable input and represents an adjustment to the recorded value of the IRLCs to reflect the estimated percentage that will result in a closed mortgage loan under the original terms of the agreement.  The estimate of pullthrough is modeled based on a historical analysis of loan closing and fallout data that considers current interest rates as well as changes in pullthrough resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and loan values.  Actual loan pullthrough is compared to the modeled estimates in order to evaluate this assumption each period based on current trends.   Generally, a change in interest rates is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the pullthrough percentage, and the impact to fair value of a change in pullthrough would be partially offset by the related change in price.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights.  The fair value of Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is estimated based upon projections of expected future cash flows considering prepayment estimates (developed using a model described below), the Company’s historical prepayment rates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on interest rate yield curves, implied volatility and other economic factors. On a quarterly basis, assumptions used in estimating fair value are validated against a number of third-party sources, which may include peer surveys, MSR broker surveys, third-party valuations and other market-based sources. 

 

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company integrated an updated prepayment model used in the valuation of MSRs, which is more closely aligned with the actual prepayment speeds of the capitalized servicing portfolio.  Additionally, the new model utilizes a combination of standard default curves and current delinquency levels to project future delinquencies and foreclosures, whereas the previous model assumed current delinquency and foreclosure rates would remain constant over the life of the asset. 

 

Based upon the results of our analysis of the modeled value and validation of our value and  current assumptions against third-party sources, there was no change to the overall value of MSRs as a result of integrating the new prepayment model.

 

The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of MSRs were as follows (in annual rates):

These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, this analysis does not assume any impact resulting from management’s intervention to mitigate these variations.

The effect of a variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other assumption and the assumptions used in valuing the MSRs are independently aggregated. Although there are certain inter-relationships among the various key assumptions noted above, changes in one of the significant assumptions noted above would not independently drive changes in the others.  The prepayment speed assumptions are highly dependent upon interest rates, which drive borrowers’ propensity to refinance; however, there are other factors that can influence borrower refinance activity.  These factors include housing prices, the levels of home equity and underwriting standards and loan product characteristics.  The weighted average delinquency rate is based on the current and projected credit characteristics of the capitalized servicing portfolio and is dependent on economic conditions, home equity and delinquency and default patterns.  The option adjusted spread is a measure of the risk in valuing the MSR, considering all other market-based assumptions.

(1)             In January 2012, the Company sold its’ investment in the subordinated debt and residual interests of a Mortgage loan securitization trust that had been consolidated as a variable interest entity.

 

Transfers into Level Three generally represent mortgage loans held for sale with performance issues, origination flaws or other characteristics that impact their salability in active secondary market transactions.  Transfers out of Level Three generally represent mortgage loans held for sale with corrected performance issues or origination flaws or loans that were foreclosed upon.  Mortgage loans in foreclosure are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, all financial instruments were either recorded at fair value or the carrying value approximated fair value, with the exception of Debt and derivative instruments included in Total PHH Corporation stockholders’ equity. For financial instruments that were not recorded at fair value, such as Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash and cash equivalents, the carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.  These financial instruments are classified within Level One of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Debt.  As of March 31, 2012, the total fair value of Debt was $6.6 billion, and substantially all of the debt is measured using Level Two inputs. For Level Two Debt, fair value is estimated using either: (i) a market based on the current market pricing of recent trades for similar instruments or the current expected ask price for the Company’s debt instruments; (ii) a discounted cash flow model using assumptions based on current market information available for similar debt instruments; or (iii) observable spreads and terms for recent pricing of similar instruments.

PHH Home Loans

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, approximately 22% of the mortgage loans originated by the Company were derived from Realogy Corporation’s affiliates, of which approximately 84% were originated by PHH Home Loans.

 

Mortgage Loan Securitization Trust

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold the residual interests in a mortgage securitization trust that had been consolidated as a VIE.  As a result, the Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the assets and liabilities of the trust were deconsolidated from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The loss on the sale of these residual interests was not significant.

 

14.  Segment Information

 

Operations are conducted through three business segments: Mortgage Production, Mortgage Servicing and Fleet Management Services.

 

·                  Mortgage Production — provides mortgage loan origination services and sells mortgage loans.

 

·                  Mortgage Servicing — performs servicing activities for originated and purchased loans.

 

·                  Fleet Management Services — provides commercial fleet management services.

 

Certain income and expenses not allocated to the three reportable segments and intersegment eliminations are reported under the heading Other.  The Company’s operations are substantially located in the U.S.

On April 16, 2012, the Company repaid the $199 million outstanding principal amount of the 2012 Convertible note series.

 

On April 27, 2012, the Company’s master agreement with Fannie Mae was renewed and certain other agreements with Fannie Mae were amended, including an amendment to the $1.0 billion committed early funding letter agreement.  Pursuant to the committed early funding letter amendment, the termination event related to the Company’s credit ratings was removed and other termination events were added, most of which are generally consistent with existing covenants under the Company’s various other debt facilities.  These additional termination events include, among others, a failure to maintain (i) on the last day of each fiscal quarter, consolidated net worth of at least $1.0 billion; (ii) on the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth no greater than 6.5 to 1; (iii) a minimum of $1.0 billion in committed mortgage warehouse or gestation facilities, with no more than $500 million of gestation facilities included towards the minimum, but excluding committed or uncommitted loan purchase arrangements or other funding arrangements from Fannie Mae and any mortgage warehouse capacity provided by government sponsored enterprises; and (iv) certain criteria related to the aging of the loan repurchase pipeline.  Unless earlier terminated, the committed early funding agreement expires on December 15, 2012.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a leading outsource provider of mortgage and fleet management services. We conduct our business through three operating segments: a Mortgage Production segment, a Mortgage Servicing segment and a Fleet Management Services segment. Our Mortgage Production segment originates, purchases and sells mortgage loans through PHH Mortgage. Our Mortgage Servicing segment services mortgage loans originated by PHH Mortgage, and also purchases mortgage servicing rights and acts as a subservicer for certain clients that own the underlying servicing rights. Our Fleet Management Services segment provides commercial fleet management services to corporate clients and government agencies throughout the United States and Canada.

 

Although our Fleet Management Services segment has historically generated a larger portion of our Net revenues, our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments have historically contributed a significantly larger portion of our Net income.  Our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments have experienced, and may continue to experience, high degrees of earnings volatility due to significant exposure to interest rates and the real estate markets, which impacts our loan origination volumes, valuation of our mortgage servicing rights and foreclosure-related charges.

 

See “—Risk Management” in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our interest rate and market risks.

 

Executive Summary

 

For 2012, we are focusing on four key strategies to increase shareholder value:

 

·                  pursue disciplined growth in our three franchise platforms which are mortgage private label services, our mortgage relationship with Realogy and our fleet management business;

In recent months our debt rating was downgraded by S&P from BB+ to BB- and we were placed on negative outlook.  In January 2012, Moody’s placed us on negative outlook and Fitch placed us on negative watch, but did not take any further ratings actions.  Given the uncertainty surrounding the economy at large and the uncertainty in the capital markets, including our cost of capital, we have shifted focus in 2012 from growing origination market

share and mortgage servicing rights to focusing on liquidity and cash generation.  We are prioritizing liquidity and cash flow generation in the near term and some of the actions we are taking to reposition the business, combined with lower mortgage industry volumes, may have a negative impact on our 2012 earnings.

 

We grew our unrestricted cash balance to $875 million as of March 31, 2012 from $414 million as of December 31, 2011.  Specifically, we executed the following actions during the first quarter of 2012 to improve our liquidity position, which generated $302 million of positive cash flow, which did not have an overall impact on our net income:

 

·                  completed an offering of 6.0% Convertible notes due 2017 with $243 million of net cash proceeds;

 

·                  renewed the Amended Credit Facility through February 28, 2013 in accordance with the facility’s renewal conditions;

 

·                  generated $50 million of cash from the sale of non-conforming mortgage loans and residual investments and the securitization of fleet leases;

 

·                  released restricted cash balances from our reinsurance trusts of $9 million;

 

·                  selectively originated loans in our wholesale/correspondent platform with minimal cash consumption; and

 

·                  aligned our business operations with established cash flow targets to support the repayment of our near-term unsecured debt maturities.

 

During the first quarter of 2012 we also purchased $51 million of our Convertible notes due in April 2012, and we have repaid the remaining balance in April 2012.  We are continuing to execute our plans to improve our liquidity and cash flow generation and believe that the initiatives started during the first quarter of 2012 provide a solid foundation to meet our near-term unsecured debt maturities. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness, upcoming debt maturities and our liquidity and capital plan.

 

In our Mortgage Production segment we experienced high margins and volume as our interest rate lock commitments expected to close increased 36% from the first quarter of 2011.  Total loan margins during the first quarter of 2012 were 364 basis points, representing a 117 basis points increase over the same period in 2011.  We have focused on our retail platform; however, in our wholesale/correspondent platform we have been selective in identifying long-term business partners who deliver high quality loans so that we can manage growth while controlling cash consumption.

 

Our Mortgage Servicing segment was negatively impacted by a significant increase in the reserve for projected repurchases and indemnifications.  In the first quarter of 2012, we experienced a significant increase in loan repurchase and indemnification requests, primarily from the GSEs, that exceeds our historical experience.  During the first quarter of 2012 we received 1,407 repurchase and indemnification requests, compared to 831 and 698 in the first and fourth quarters of 2011, respectively. The increase in repurchase requests was primarily due to an increased number of loan file reviews by the GSEs as they focused more resources on clearing the backlog of previously requested loan files related to the 2005 through 2008 origination years.  This increase in repurchase and indemnification requests caused a significant increase in our unresolved requests, and as a result, we recorded $65 million of provisions during the first quarter of 2012 in our Mortgage Servicing segment, compared to $15 million during the first quarter of 2011.  The majority of repurchase requests continue to be related to the 2005 through 2008 origination years.  We continue to monitor these trends and may need to further increase our loan repurchase and indemnification liability if the elevated levels of repurchase requests continue.  Additionally, an increased level of repurchase requests could result in an increased use of cash, as compared to prior periods, to fund loan repurchases or make payments under loan indemnification agreements.  We expect foreclosure losses to remain elevated throughout 2012, and potentially into 2013, as investors continue to review both performing and non-performing loans for potential underwriting defects and representation and warranty violations.  See “—Risk Management” for additional information regarding our repurchase obligations and potential exposure.

 

Our Fleet Management Services segment continued to grow earnings in the first quarter of 2012, driven by growth in our Net investment in leases as well as increases in maintenance service, fuel, and accident management average units.

Industry Trends

 

Regulatory Trends

 

We are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations and may be subject to various judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and restrictions on our business. By agreement with our private label clients in our mortgage business, we are required to comply with additional requirements that our clients may be subject to through their regulators.  These laws, regulations and judicial and administrative decisions include those pertaining to the following areas:

 

·                  Real estate settlement procedures;

 

·                  Consumer credit provisions; fair lending, fair credit reporting and truth in lending;

 

·                  The establishment of maximum interest rates, finance charges and other charges;

 

·                  Secured transactions; collections, foreclosure, repossession and claims-handling procedures;

 

·                  Privacy regulations providing for the use and safeguarding of non-public personal financial information of borrowers and guidance on non-traditional mortgage loans issued by the federal financial regulatory agencies;

 

·                  Taxing and licensing of vehicles and environmental protection;

 

·                  Insurance regulations and licensing requirements pertaining to standards of solvency that must be met and maintained; reserves and provisions for unearned premiums, losses and other obligations and deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders.

 

In January 2012, we were notified that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau had opened an investigation to determine whether our mortgage insurance premium ceding practices to captive reinsurers comply with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and other laws enforced by the CFPB.  The CFPB requested certain related documents and information for review. We have provided reinsurance services in exchange for premiums ceded and believe that we have complied with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and other laws. We have not provided reinsurance on loans originated after 2009. There can be no assurance whether or not this investigation will result in the imposition of any penalties and fines against us or our subsidiaries.

 

There has been a continued focus on foreclosure practices by various regulatory authorities, as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  While we have not been assessed any material penalties from regulatory agencies resulting from our foreclosure practices to date, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have assessed potential compensatory fees for failing to meet foreclosure timelines outlined in their respective servicing guides. We expect that the higher level of focus on foreclosure practices will result in higher legal and servicing related costs as well as potential regulatory fines and penalties.

 

Mortgage Production Trends

 

As of April 2012, Fannie Mae’s Economics and Mortgage Market Analysis forecasts a decline in industry loan originations to $1.3 trillion during 2012 compared to $1.4 trillion during 2011, consisting of a 12% decrease in projected refinance originations partially offset by a 1% increase in projected purchase originations.  Refinance originations are sensitive to interest rates and although interest rates are expected to remain relatively low, there has been diminished refinance incentive as borrowers have previously refinanced during periods of lower rates.  The slight increase in purchase originations is reflective of an increase in new and existing home sales expected during 2012.

Table of Contents

 

We experienced increasing initial loan pricing margins during the second half of 2011, which has continued into the first quarter of 2012.  Although pricing margins have declined from their highs during the first quarter of 2012, they have remained elevated from historical periods as mortgage rates remain low and consumer demand persists.  Although we expect margins to eventually decline from current levels, we believe that pricing margins could remain elevated throughout 2012, reflecting a longer term industry view of the returns required to manage the underlying risk of a mortgage production and servicing business.  The Federal Housing Finance Agency increased guarantee fees on mortgage backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac effective April 1, 2012.  We expect this increase, and potential future increases, will have the impact of increasing mortgage interest rates charged to borrowers, which could negatively impact conforming loan origination volumes.

 

Mortgage Servicing Trends

 

Repurchase requests have been volatile in recent periods and we have seen a significant increase in repurchase requests, primarily from the agencies.  These requests have been especially concentrated in loans originated during 2005 through 2008.  This trend accelerated during the first quarter of 2012, as repurchase requests increased by 102% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 and the amount of outstanding repurchase requests as of March 31, 2012 increased to $315 million from $222 million as of December 31, 2011.  The Federal Housing Finance Agency has committed to reducing taxpayer losses from the support of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the strict enforcement of representation and warranty provisions provides the agencies with an effective means of loss mitigation.  We believe repurchase requests and foreclosure costs will continue to remain high during 2012, and potentially into 2013.  We expect that the agencies will continue to focus on losses from origination years prior to 2009, since they have been intensified by the poor economic environment and challenging conditions in the housing market.  Although repurchase requests have been primarily concentrated in loans originated during 2005 through 2008, the agencies have also increased their reviews of more current loan production, which could further increase future repurchase activity.

 

In addition to the increased focus on loan repurchases and indemnifications, we have experienced higher reinsurance losses as a result of the continued weakness in the housing market coupled with an elevated level of delinquency and foreclosure experience.  We paid $18 million in reinsurance claims during the three months ended March 31, 2012, and expect our paid claims for certain book years to remain high throughout 2012 as foreclosures are completed and insurance claims are processed and finalized.  We hold cash and securities in trust related to our potential obligation to pay such claims, which were $205 million and were included in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2012.  We expect that the amount currently held in trust will be significantly higher than future claims for reinsurance losses.

 

See “— Risk Management” for additional information regarding mortgage reinsurance and loan repurchases.

 

Fleet Management Services Trends

 

The fleet management industry continues to be impacted by the relative strength of the U.S. economy.  As the U.S. economy improves, we expect to see continued improvement in the industry.  We believe that improvement in the economic conditions will be reflected in the continued growth of our service unit counts as we have seen positive trends in our service-only units. Although we have experienced a decline in our leased units in recent years, our net investment in leases has increased as our mix has changed to include more expensive light trucks and vans and we expect our leased units to be steady through 2012.

(1)             Segment Profit (Loss) is described in Note 14, “Segment Information”, in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Mortgage Production Segment

 

·                  Segment profit was $65 million higher compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to a 36% increase in the volume of interest rate lock commitments expected to close and higher total margins which were partially offset by a $68 million gain on the sale of 50.1% of the equity interests in STARS recorded in the first quarter of 2011.

 

37



Table of Contents

 

·                  Interest rate lock commitments expected to close increased to $6.9 billion in the first quarter of 2012 from $5.0 billion in first quarter of 2011 due to lower market interest rates and higher consumer demand.

 

·                  Total mortgage applications for the first quarter of 2012 increased by 63% compared to the first quarter of 2011.

 

Mortgage Servicing Segment

 

·                  Segment (loss) profit was unfavorably impacted in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 by a $50 million increase in foreclosure-related charges related to a significant increase in loan repurchase and indemnification requests in the first quarter of 2012, as discussed above under “—Executive Summary”.

 

·                  Loan servicing income increased by $13 million primarily reflecting the continued growth in our loan servicing portfolio.  Our average capitalized loan servicing portfolio increased by 8% from $138.3 billion in the first quarter of 2011 to $148.6 billion in the first quarter of 2012.

 

Fleet Management Services Segment

 

·                  Segment profit increased by $8 million to $24 million in the first quarter of 2012, driven by growth in net investment in leases, lower funding costs and higher units and usage of fee-based and asset-based management services.

 

·                  Maintenance service, fuel, and accident management average units all increased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011.

 

·                  The average number of leased vehicles declined by 3% during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011; however, our net investment in leases increased by $109 million as of March 31, 2012 compared to March 31, 2011.

 

The results of each of our reportable segments are discussed in detail below.

 

Income tax expense

 

We record our interim tax provisions or benefits by applying a projected full-year effective income tax rate to our quarterly pre-tax income or loss for results that we deem to be reliably estimable.  Certain results dependent on fair value adjustments of our Mortgage Production and Mortgage Servicing segments are considered to not be reliably estimable and therefore we record discrete year-to-date income tax provisions on those results.

 

Our effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 31.7% and 38.2%, respectively. See Note 8, “Income Taxes” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 

Appraisal Services Business Joint Venture

 

On March 31, 2011, we sold 50.1% of the equity interests in our appraisal services business, Speedy Title and Appraisal Review Services, (“STARS”) to CoreLogic, Inc. for a total purchase price of $35 million.  We retained a 49.9% equity interest in STARS, which is accounted for under the equity method.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, earnings from the equity method investment in STARS of $2 million are recorded as a component of Other income in the Mortgage Production segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, a $68 million gain on the sale of STARS was recorded within Other income of the Mortgage Production segment, which consisted of the net present value of the purchase price from CoreLogic plus the $34 million from the initial valuation of our equity method investment.

FIRST QUARTER 2012 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER 2011

 

Mortgage Production Statistics

 

Mortgage loan originations are driven by the demand to fund home purchases and the demand to refinance existing loans.  Purchase closings are influenced by the number of home sales and the overall condition of the housing market whereas refinance closings are sensitive to interest rate changes relative to borrowers’ current interest rates.  Refinance closings typically increase when interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. Although the level of interest rates is a key driver of refinancing activity, there are other factors which influence the level of refinance closings including home prices, levels of home equity, underwriting standards and product characteristics.  The demand for wholesale/correspondent closings is influenced by a variety of factors, including overall industry capacity and the competitive landscape.  Our wholesale/correspondent volume can also be influenced by pricing margins given our strategy of generating mortgage servicing rights with minimal use of cash.  Accordingly, as pricing margins decline, we may experience a decline in wholesale/correspondent originations.  Retail loans are generally more profitable than wholesale/correspondent and have higher loan margins and higher expenses.

 

Interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) represent an agreement to extend credit to a mortgage loan applicant, or an agreement to purchase a loan from a third-party originator, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set prior to funding.  IRLCs expected to close are adjusted for the amount of loans expected to close in accordance with the terms of the commitment.  IRLCs expected to close result in loans closed to be sold as we do not enter into interest rate lock commitments on fee-based closings.  Reductions in mortgage interest rates and higher consumer demand compared to the first quarter of 2011 resulted in a 63% increase in application volume and a 36% increase in IRLCs.

 

As of April 2012, Fannie Mae’s Economics and Mortgage Market Analysis shows an increase in mortgage industry origination volumes of approximately 13% compared to the first quarter of 2011.  Our total closings increased by 1% compared to first quarter of 2011, which was comprised of a $424 million increase in refinance closings offset by a $301 million decrease in purchase closings.  Refinance closings were positively impacted by the low interest rate environment and the decrease in purchase closings is reflective of the continued challenging conditions in the housing market.

 

Wholesale/correspondent closings represented 32% and 30% of our total closings in the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively. As described in “—Overview—Executive Summary” above,  we have shifted our focus to ensure that our operations are cash flow positive and are managing our wholesale/correspondent originations to control cash consumption.  While the mix of total closings between retail and wholesale/correspondent closings grew from the first quarter of 2011, the increase was primarily attributable to closings of IRLCs entered into during 2011.  As of March 31, 2012, 25% of our outstanding IRLCs expected to close were wholesale/correspondent compared to 44% as of December 31, 2011, which is reflective of our efforts to selectively manage originations within this platform.

 

Mortgage Fees

 

Retail closings and fee-based closings are key drivers of Mortgage fees.  Mortgage fees consist of fee income earned on all loan originations, including loans closed to be sold and fee-based closings.  Fee income consists of amounts earned related to application and underwriting fees and fees on cancelled loans.  Appraisal and other income generated by our appraisal services business is included through the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  Fee income also consists of amounts earned from financial institutions related to brokered loan fees and origination assistance fees resulting from our private-label mortgage outsourcing activities.  Fees associated with the origination and acquisition of mortgage loans are recognized as earned.

 

Mortgage fees decreased by $6 million (7%) compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to a $3 million decrease in origination assistance fees from private label clients resulting from an 11% decline in private label originations and a $2 million decrease in appraisal income.

Gain on Mortgage Loans, Net

 

IRLCs expected to close are the primary driver of Gain on mortgage loans, net.  Gain on mortgage loans, net includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on our mortgage loans, as well as the changes in fair value of our interest rate locks and loan-related derivatives. The fair value of our IRLCs is based upon the estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, adjusted for: (i) the estimated costs to complete and originate the loan and (ii) the estimated percentage of IRLCs that will result in a closed mortgage loan. The valuation of our interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans approximates a whole-loan price, which includes the value of the related mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage servicing rights are recognized and capitalized at the date the loans are sold and subsequent changes in the fair value are recorded in Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights in the Mortgage Servicing segment.

Gain on loans is primarily driven by the volume of IRLCs expected to close, total loan margins and the mix of wholesale/correspondent closing volume.  Margins generally widen when mortgage interest rates decline and tighten when mortgage interest rates increase, as loan originators balance origination volume with operational capacity.  For wholesale/correspondent closings and certain retail closings from our private label clients, the cost to acquire the loan reduces the gain from selling the loan into the secondary market.  Gain on loans increased by $124 million compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to a 36% increase in IRLCs expected to close and higher total loan margins.  The higher total loan margins was primarily attributable to a 122 basis point increase in the average initial loan margins resulting from reductions in mortgage interest rates and higher consumer demand.

 

Change in fair value of Scratch and Dent and certain non-conforming mortgage loans remained constant compared to the first quarter of 2011 and is primarily driven by additions, sales and changes in value of Scratch and Dent loans, which represent loans with origination flaws or performance issues.  For the first quarter of 2012, the $5 million unfavorable changes in fair value of Scratch and Dent and certain non-conforming loans was primarily attributable to additions to the population of Scratch and Dent loans resulting from repurchases that was partially offset by the sale of Scratch and Dent loans at a gain during the quarter.  For the first quarter of 2011, the $5 million unfavorable change in fair value of Scratch and Dent and certain non-conforming loans was primarily due to additions to the population of Scratch and Dent loans resulting from repurchases and salability issues.

 

Economic hedge results represent the change in value of mortgage loans, interest rate lock commitments and related derivatives, including the impact of changes in actual pullthrough as compared to our initial assumptions.  We use derivative instruments to economically hedge changes in value of mortgage loans and interest rate lock commitments from the date of interest rate lock commitment through the date the loan is sold into the secondary market.  These derivatives are intended to mitigate the changes in value attributable to changes in interest rates.  Economic hedge results also includes changes in value of mortgage loans held for sale due to changes in expected execution upon sale which may not be interest rate related and would not be offset by changes in value of derivative instruments.  The $47 million increase in economic hedge results compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily driven by favorable execution gains on mortgage loans sold coupled with an increase in the actual pullthrough rate of interest rate lock commitments, as compared to assumptions.

Mortgage Net Finance Expense

 

Mortgage net finance expense allocable to the Mortgage Production segment consists of interest income on mortgage loans, interest expense allocated on debt used to fund mortgage loans and an allocation of interest expense for working capital.  Mortgage net finance expense is primarily driven by the average balance of loans held for sale, the average volume of outstanding borrowings, the note rate on loans held for sale and the cost of funds rate of our outstanding borrowings.  A significant portion of our loan originations are funded with variable-rate short-term debt.

 

Mortgage net finance expense increased by $14 million compared to the first quarter of 2011 and was comprised of an $8 million (26%) decrease in Mortgage interest income coupled with a $6 million (18%) increase in Mortgage interest expense.  The decrease in mortgage interest income was primarily due to a lower average volume of loans held for sale coupled with lower average note rates on loans held for sale.  The increase in Mortgage interest expense was primarily attributable to higher allocated financing costs related to an increase in the average balance of corporate unsecured borrowings partially offset by a lower average volume of loans held for sale.

 

Other Income

 

Other income decreased by $69 million primarily due to a $68 million gain recognized during the first quarter of 2011 related to the sale of 50.1% of our equity interests in Speedy Title and Appraisal Review Services.

 

Salaries and Related Expenses

 

Salaries and related expenses allocable to the Mortgage Production segment consist of salaries, payroll taxes, benefits and incentives paid to employees in our mortgage production operations and commissions paid to employees involved in the loan origination process.

Salaries, benefits and incentives are primarily driven by the average number of permanent employees. Commissions are primarily driven by the volume of retail closings.  Contract labor and overtime are primarily driven by origination volumes and consists of overtime paid to permanent employees and amounts paid to temporary and contract personnel.  We continue to balance the number of full-time employees and the use of temporary and contract personnel with anticipated loan origination volumes.

 

Salaries, benefits and incentives remained constant compared to the first quarter of 2011.  The $6 million increase in commissions was primarily attributable to a 28% increase in closings from our real estate channel which have higher commission rates than private label closings.  Contract labor and overtime decreased by $4 million compared to the first quarter of 2011 and was driven by elevated levels of contract labor and overtime needed during the first quarter of 2011 to handle the significant surge in origination volume as borrowers took advantage of the refinance incentives during that period.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

Other operating expenses allocable to the Mortgage Production segment consist of production-related direct expenses, allocations for corporate overhead and other production related expenses.

Production-related direct expenses represent variable costs directly related to the volume of loan originations and consist of appraisal, underwriting and other direct loan origination expenses. These expenses are incurred during the loan origination process and are primarily driven by applications.  Corporate overhead allocations relate to segment allocations of shared general and administrative costs and costs associated with operating and managing corporate functions and are discussed above under “—Results of Operations—Other.”  Other expenses consist of other production-related expenses that include, but are not limited to professional fees, information technology costs, outsourcing fees and customer service expenses.

 

Production-related direct expenses increased by $9 million compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to an increase in the number of retail closing units and a 63% increase in application volume.  The $3 million decrease in other expenses compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to lower costs associated with legal and regulatory compliance activities and customer service expenses.

Mortgage Net Finance Expense

 

Mortgage net finance expense allocable to the Mortgage Servicing segment consists of interest income from escrow balances, income from investment balances (including investments held in reinsurance trusts) and interest expense allocated on debt used to fund our Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), which is driven by the average volume of outstanding borrowings and the cost of funds rate of our outstanding borrowings.

 

Mortgage net finance expense decreased by $3 million (19%) primarily due to a $3 million decrease in the interest expense allocated to fund our MSRs resulting from a lower average MSR balance. The low interest rate

environment has continued to significantly reduce the earnings opportunity related to our escrow balances as the ending one-month LIBOR rate as of March 31, 2012 was 24 basis points.

The primary drivers for Loan servicing income are the average capitalized loan servicing portfolio and average servicing fee.  Service fee revenue is driven by recurring servicing fees that are recognized upon receipt of the coupon payment from the borrower and recorded net of guaranty fees.  For loans that are subserviced for others, we receive a nominal stated amount per loan which is less than our average servicing fee related to the capitalized portfolio.  Curtailment interest paid to investors represents uncollected interest from the borrower that is required to be passed onto investors and is primarily driven by the number of loan payoffs.  Net reinsurance loss represents premiums earned on reinsurance contracts, net of ceding commission and provisions for reinsurance reserves.

 

The $9 million increase in servicing fees from the capitalized portfolio was primarily due to an 8% increase in the average capitalized loan servicing portfolio compared to the first quarter of 2011.  Curtailment interest paid to investors increased by $2 million compared to the first quarter of 2011 and was related to a 41% increase in loan payoffs in our total loan servicing portfolio.  The $5 million decrease in net reinsurance loss was primarily attributable to a $7 million decrease in the provision for reinsurance reserves resulting from slowing loss progressions as the maximum loss rates for certain origination years has been reached, partially offset by a $2 million decrease in premiums earned related to outstanding reinsurance agreements which have continued in runoff status.

 

Valuation Adjustments Related to Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

Valuation adjustments related to mortgage servicing rights include Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and Net derivative loss related to mortgage servicing rights.  The components of Valuation adjustments related to mortgage servicing rights are discussed separately below.

 

Change in Fair Value of Mortgage Servicing Rights: The fair value of our MSRs is estimated based upon projections of expected future cash flows considering prepayment estimates, our historical prepayment rates, portfolio characteristics, interest rates based on interest rate yield curves, implied volatility and other economic factors.  Generally, the value of our MSRs is expected to increase when interest rates rise and decrease when interest rates decline due to the effect those changes in interest rates have on prepayment estimates.  Other factors noted above as well as the overall market demand for MSRs may also affect the valuation.

The change in fair value of MSRs due to actual prepayments is driven by two factors: (i) the number of loans that prepaid during the period and (ii) the current value of the mortgage servicing right asset at the time of prepayment.  Market-related fair value adjustments represent the change in fair value of MSRs due to changes in market inputs and assumptions used in the valuation model.

 

The $9 million increase in actual prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to a 42% increase in loan payoffs in the capitalized loan servicing portfolio which was partially offset by a 15 basis point decrease in the average MSR value of prepayments.

 

Market-related fair value adjustments increased the value of our MSRs by $43 million during the first quarter of 2012 and was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage interest rates and a steepening of the yield curve.  During the first quarter of 2012, the primary mortgage rate used to value our MSR increased by 7 basis points.  Refer to “—Critical Accounting Policies” for a description of the updates made to the model used in the valuation of our mortgage servicing rights.

 

The $25 million market-related fair value increase during the first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage interest rates coupled with a steeper yield curve and lower interest rate volatility.

 

Net Derivative Loss Related to Mortgage Servicing Rights: From time-to-time, we may use a combination of derivative instruments to protect against potential adverse changes in the fair value of our MSRs resulting from a decline in interest rates. The change in fair value of derivatives is intended to react in the opposite direction of the market-related change in the fair value of MSRs, and generally increase in value as interest rates decline and decrease in value as interest rates rise.  The amount and composition of derivatives used depends on the exposure to loss of value on our MSRs, the expected cost of the derivatives, our expected liquidity needs and the increased earnings generated by origination of new loans resulting from the decline in interest rates.

 

The value of derivatives related to our MSRs decreased by $5 million during the first quarter of 2012.  There were no open derivatives related to MSRs during the first quarter of 2011.

 

Refer to “—Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of 25 bps, 50 bps and 100 bps changes in interest rates on the valuation of our MSRs and related derivatives as of March 31, 2012.

Other Income

 

Other income allocable to the Mortgage Servicing segment primarily consists of the change in the net fair value of a mortgage securitization trust where we hold a residual interest.  These residual interests were sold during the first quarter of 2012.

 

The $1 million reduction in Other income during the first quarter of 2012 was the resulting loss on sale of our residual interests in the mortgage securitization trust which was partially offset by realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities associated with restricted investments held in our reinsurance trust accounts.

 

The $3 million reduction in Other income during the first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in projected credit losses of the underlying securitized mortgage loans which comprised the securitization trust.

Foreclosure-related charges are driven by the volume of repurchase and indemnification requests as well as expected loss severities which are impacted by various economic factors including delinquency rates and home price values.  Corporate overhead allocations relate to segment allocations of shared general and administrative costs and costs associated with operating and managing corporate functions and are discussed above under “—Results of Operations—Other.”  Other expenses include operating expenses of the Mortgage Servicing segment, including costs directly associated with servicing loans in foreclosure and real estate owned, professional fees and outsourcing fees.

 

Foreclosure-related charges were $65 million during the first quarter of 2012, compared to $15 million during the first quarter of 2011.  The increase is reflective of the significant increase in repurchase and indemnification requests, primarily from the GSEs, that we experienced during the first quarter of 2012.  During the first quarter of 2012, the amount of unresolved repurchase and indemnification requests increased $93 million to $315 million and repurchase requests increased by 102% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.  Repurchase requests from all investors and insurers have been volatile and the persistency of these recent trends remains extremely uncertain.  See “—Risk Management—Consumer Credit Risk” for a further discussion of the sensitivity of our loan repurchase and indemnification liability.

 

The $13 million increase in other expenses compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to increases in expenses associated with servicing delinquent and foreclosed loans and real estate owned, including provisions for compensatory fees and litigation costs related to foreclosure processing.

Fleet Management Fees

 

The drivers of Fleet management fees are leased vehicles and service unit counts as well as the usage of fee-based services. Fleet management fees consist primarily of the revenues of our principal fee-based products: fuel cards, maintenance services, accident management services and monthly management fees for leased vehicles. Fleet management fees also include driver safety training services fees.

 

Fleet management fees increased by $5 million (12%) compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to a $3 million increase in fees associated with the usage of fee-based products and fleet management fees resulting from an increase in service unit volume coupled with a $2 million increase in driver safety training services fees related to higher client usage.

Fleet lease income consists of leasing revenue related to operating and direct financing leases as well as the gross sales proceeds associated with our operating lease syndications. We originate certain leases with the intention of syndicating to banks and other financial institutions, which includes the sale of the underlying assets and assignment of any rights to the leases. Upon the transfer and assignment of leases that qualify for sales treatment we record the proceeds from the sale within Fleet lease income and recognize the cost of goods sold within Other operating expenses for the undepreciated cost of the asset sold.

 

Leasing revenue related to operating leases consists of an interest component for the funding cost inherent in the lease as well as a depreciation component for the cost of the vehicles under lease.  Leasing revenue related to direct financing leases consists of an interest component for the funding cost inherent in the lease.

 

Leasing revenue decreased by $4 million (1%) compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to a 3% decline in the average number of leased vehicles, which was partially offset by an increase in net investment in leases reflecting the growth in average lease balances.  The $4 million decrease in leasing revenue was partially offset by a $5 million decrease in Depreciation on operating leases as described below.  The amount of operating lease syndications contributed $3 million in gross sales proceeds to Fleet lease income during the first quarter of 2012.

 

Other Income

 

Other income primarily consists of gross sales proceeds from our owned vehicle dealerships, the gain or loss from the sale of used vehicles and other ancillary revenues.

 

Depreciation on Operating Leases

 

Depreciation on operating leases is the depreciation expense associated with our vehicles under operating leases included in Net investment in fleet leases.

 

Depreciation on operating leases decreased by $5 million (2%) compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to a 3% decline in the average number of leased vehicles, which was partially offset by an increase in net investment in leases.

 

Fleet Interest Expense

 

Fleet interest expense is primarily driven by the average volume and cost of funds rate of outstanding borrowings and consists of interest expense associated with borrowings related to leased vehicles, changes in market values of interest rate cap agreements related to vehicle asset-backed debt and amortization of deferred financing fees.

 

Fleet interest expense decreased by $4 million (18%) compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to a favorable change in the cost of funds rates resulting from debt renewals and a decrease in the amortization of deferred financing fees.

Cost of goods sold represents the acquisition cost of vehicles at our dealerships and the carrying value of certain operating leases syndicated to banks and other financial institutions.  The gross sales proceeds from our owned dealerships are included in Other income and the proceeds from syndications are recorded within Fleet lease income.  Corporate overhead allocations relate to segment allocations of shared general and administrative costs and costs associated with operating and managing corporate functions and are discussed above under “—Results of Operations—Other.”

 

The amount of operating lease syndications contributed to a $3 million increase in cost of goods sold compared to the first quarter of 2011.  Other expenses increased by $3 million compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to expenses related to higher client usage of driver safety training services.

 

RISK MANAGEMENT

 

In the normal course of business we are exposed to various risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, consumer credit risk, commercial credit risk, counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign exchange risk. The Finance and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors provides oversight with respect to the assessment of our overall capital structure and its impact on the generation of appropriate risk adjusted returns, as well as the existence, operation and effectiveness of our risk management programs, policies and practices. Our Chief Risk Officer, working with each of our businesses, oversees governance processes and monitoring of these risks including the establishment of risk strategy and documentation of risk policies and controls.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically long-term Treasury and mortgage interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments.  Additionally, our escrow earnings on our mortgage servicing rights and our net investment in variable-rate lease assets are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates such as LIBOR. We also are exposed to changes in short-term interest rates on certain variable rate borrowings including our mortgage warehouse asset-backed debt, vehicle management asset-backed debt and our unsecured revolving credit facility. We anticipate that such interest rates will remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future.

 

Refer to “—Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of 25 bps, 50 bps and 100 bps changes in interest rates on the valuation of assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates.

 

Consumer Credit Risk

 

Our exposures to consumer credit risk include:

 

·                  Loan repurchase and indemnification obligations from breaches of representation and warranty provisions of our loan sales or servicing agreements, which result in indemnification payments or exposure to loan defaults and foreclosures;

 

·                  Mortgage reinsurance losses; and

Table of Contents

 

·                  A decline in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights as a result of increases in involuntary prepayments from increasing portfolio delinquencies.

 

Loan Repurchases and Indemnifications

 

Foreclosure-related reserves are maintained for probable losses related to repurchase and indemnification obligations and on-balance sheet loans in foreclosure and real estate owned.  The accrued liability for loan repurchases and indemnifications represents management’s estimate of probable losses based on the best information available and requires the application of a significant level of judgment and the use of a number of assumptions.  These assumptions include the estimated amount and timing of repurchase and indemnification requests, the expected success rate of defending against requests and estimated loss severities on repurchases and indemnifications. While the best information available is used in estimating our liability, the estimation process is inherently uncertain and imprecise.  Given the increased levels of repurchase requests and realized losses in recent periods, there is a reasonable possibility that future losses may be in excess of the recorded liability.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the estimated amount of reasonably possible losses in excess of the recorded liability was $140 million.  This estimate assumes that repurchases and indemnifications remain at an elevated level through the year ended December 31, 2013, our success rate in defending against requests declines and loss severities remain at current levels.  Our estimate of reasonably possible losses does not represent probable losses and is based upon significant judgments and assumptions which can be influenced by many factors, including: (i) home prices and the levels of home equity; (ii) the criteria used by investors in selecting loans to request: (iii) borrower delinquency patterns; and (iv) general economic conditions.

 

Actual losses incurred in connection with loan repurchases and indemnifications could vary significantly from and exceed the recorded liability.  We may also be required to increase our loan repurchase and indemnification liability in the future.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual losses or estimates of reasonably possible losses associated with loan repurchases and indemnifications will not be in excess of the recorded liability or that we will not be required to increase the recorded liability in the future.

(1)    Claim pending status represents loans that have completed the review process where we have agreed with the representation and warranty breach and are pending final execution.

 

(2)    Appealed status represents loans that have completed the review process where we have disagreed with the representation and warranty breach and are pending response from the claimant. Based on claims received and appealed during the twelve months ended March 31, 2012 that have been resolved, we were successful in refuting approximately 90% of claims appealed.

 

(3)    Open to review status represents loans where we have not completed our review process. We appealed approximately 70% of claims received and reviewed during the twelve months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Approximately 78% and 70% of the unpaid principal balance of our unresolved repurchase requests relates to loans originated between 2005 and 2008 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

See Note 9, “Credit Risk”, in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our foreclosure-related reserves.

 

Mortgage Reinsurance

 

We have exposure to consumer credit risk through losses from two contracts with primary mortgage insurance companies, that are inactive and in runoff.  We are required to hold securities in trust related to this potential obligation, which were $205 million as of March 31, 2012 and were included in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2012, a liability of $72 million was included in Other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for incurred and incurred but not reported losses associated with our mortgage reinsurance activities, which was determined on an undiscounted basis.

Commercial Credit Risk

 

We are exposed to commercial credit risk for our clients under the lease and service agreements of our Fleet Management Services segment. We manage such risk through an evaluation of the financial position and creditworthiness of the client, which is performed on at least an annual basis. The lease agreements generally allow us to refuse any additional orders; however, the obligation remains for all leased vehicle units under contract at that time. The fleet management service agreements can generally be terminated upon 30 days written notice.

 

Counterparty & Concentration Risk

 

We are exposed to risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to various agreements, derivative contracts, and sales transactions. In general, we manage such risk by evaluating the financial position and creditworthiness of counterparties, monitoring the amount for which we are at risk, requiring collateral, typically cash, in instances in which financing is provided and/or dispersing the risk among multiple counterparties.

 

As of March 31, 2012, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or group of counterparties with respect to our derivative transactions. Concentrations of credit risk associated with receivables are considered minimal due to our diverse client base. With the exception of the financing provided to customers of our mortgage business, we do not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We manage our liquidity and capital structure to fund growth in assets, to fund business operations, and to meet contractual obligations, including maturities of our indebtedness. In developing our liquidity plan, we consider how our needs may be impacted by various factors including maximum liquidity needs during the period, fluctuations in assets and liability levels due to changes in business operations, levels of interest rates, and working capital needs. We also assess market conditions and capacity for debt issuance in various markets we access to fund our business needs.  Our primary operating funding needs arise from the origination and financing of mortgage loans, the purchase and funding of vehicles under management and the retention of mortgage servicing rights. Our liquidity needs can also be significantly impacted by changes in interest rates due to collateral posting requirements from derivative agreements as well as the levels of repurchase and indemnification requests from investors and insurers of loans that have been previously sold.

 

Sources of liquidity include:  equity capital (including retained earnings); the unsecured debt markets; committed and uncommitted credit facilities; secured borrowings, including the asset-backed debt markets; cash flows from operations (including service fee and lease revenues); cash flows from assets under management; and proceeds from the sale or securitization of mortgage loans and lease assets.

 

We are continuing to monitor developments in regulations that may impact our businesses including the Dodd-Frank Act and ongoing GSE reforms that could have a material impact on our liquidity. For more information, see “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risk Related to our Company—The businesses in which we engage are complex and heavily regulated, and changes in the regulatory environment affecting our businesses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.” in our Form 10-K and “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risk Related to our Company—We are highly dependent upon programs administered by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Changes in existing U.S. government-sponsored mortgage programs or servicing eligibility standards could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.” in this Form 10-Q.

 

As of March 31, 2012, our near-term unsecured debt maturities include $199 million of Convertible notes due April 15, 2012 and $422 million of Term notes due March 1, 2013.  Additionally, we may need greater liquidity in the short term to fund increases in loan repurchases and indemnifications as well as potential increased collateral posting requirements related to derivative and debt agreements.  Although we did not have any outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility as of March 31, 2012, commitments under the facility expire on February 28, 2013.  We are currently in discussions with the lender group that participates in our Amended Credit Facility to extend the commitments; however, there can be no assurances that we will have access to the facility after February 28, 2013 on the terms that currently exist, if at all, or that the facility will remain on an unsecured basis.

 

We have historically been reliant on accessing the capital markets for unsecured debt in order to refinance or extend the maturities of our unsecured debt at the parent company level.  There has been a prolonged period of uncertainty and volatility in the economy, which may impair or limit our access to unsecured funding.  Additionally, our senior unsecured long-term debt credit ratings are below investment grade, and as a result, our access to the public debt markets may be severely limited in comparison to the ability of investment grade issuers to access such markets.

 

Liquidity and Capital Plan

 

Our goals for 2012 include a focus on increasing liquidity and cash flow generation, addressing our 2012 and 2013 debt maturities and negotiating an extension of our unsecured revolving credit facility.  Consistent with those goals, we have developed a liquidity and capital plan consisting of various steps to improve our liquidity and capital position, which may involve one or more of the following:

 

(i)    focusing our efforts to ensure that our operations are cash flow positive, which may include reductions in our correspondent mortgage originations and capital expenditures;

 

(ii)   disposing of assets that are not necessary to support our business strategies, which may include the assets of our reinsurance business; and

 

56



Table of Contents

 

(iii)       generating mortgage servicing rights with minimal use of cash.

 

We have taken the following actions in the first quarter of 2012 to improve our liquidity and capital position:

 

·                  completed an offering of 6.0% Convertible notes due 2017 with $243 million of net cash proceeds;

 

·                  renewed the Amended Credit Facility through February 28, 2013 in accordance with the facility’s renewal conditions;

 

·                  generated $50 million of cash from the sale of non-conforming mortgage loans and residual investments and the securitization of fleet leases;

 

·                  released restricted cash balances from our reinsurance trusts of $9 million;

 

·                  selectively originated loans in our wholesale/correspondent platform with minimal cash consumption; and

 

·                  aligned our business operations with established cash flow targets to support the repayment of our near-term unsecured debt maturities.

 

These actions generated $302 million of cash during the first quarter of 2012, and combined with our cash flows from other operating, financing and investing activities, as discussed below, our Cash and cash equivalents increased by $461 million in total for the quarter.  As of March 31, 2012, we had $875 million of unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents and in April 2012 we repaid the $199 million balance outstanding of the 2012 series of convertible notes.

 

We will continue to actively refine our liquidity plan and take all appropriate actions in an effort to ensure we have more than adequate liquidity to meet our debt maturities and other liabilities.  We believe that the execution of our liquidity and capital plan will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service obligations, fund potential increases in repurchase and indemnification requests and operate our business.

 

There can be no assurances that we will be successful implementing this plan, or if we are successful, there can be no assurances that our plan will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs.  Furthermore, the execution of our plan may have a negative impact on our future results of operations, including revenue and net income.

 

Given our expectation for business volumes, we believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months and to repay our upcoming maturities.

 

Cash Flows

 

At March 31, 2012, we had $875 million of Cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $461 million from $414 million at December 31, 2011.  The following table summarizes the changes in Cash and cash equivalents:

Operating Activities

 

Our cash flows from operating activities reflect the net cash generated or used in our business operations and can be significantly impacted by the timing of mortgage loan originations and sales.  In addition to depreciation and amortization, the operating results of our reportable segments are impacted by the following significant non-cash activities:

 

·                  Mortgage Production —Capitalization of mortgage servicing rights

 

·                  Mortgage Servicing —Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights

 

·                  Fleet Management Services —Depreciation on operating leases

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 billion.  This is primarily reflective of $1.2 billion of net cash provided by the significant increase in mortgage loan sales in our Mortgage Production segment and $73 million of net changes in cash collateral posted on derivative agreements. Cash provided by operating activities was further driven by positive cash flows from our Mortgage Servicing and Fleet Management Services segments.

 

The net cash provided from the operating activities of our Mortgage Production segment resulted from a $1.0 billion decrease in the Mortgage loans held for sale balance in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets between March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which is the result of timing differences between origination and sale as of the end of each period.  The decrease in Mortgage loans held for sale also resulted in a decrease in Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt as further described in Financing Activities below.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash provided by our operating activities was $3.2 billion.  This was reflective of $3.2 billion of net cash provided by the significant increase in mortgage loan sales in our Mortgage Production segment and in the operating activities of our Fleet Management Services segment.  Other adjustments and changes in other assets and liabilities, net primarily includes the $68 million gain on the sale of an interest in our appraisal services business and a net cash outflow of $204 million for cash collateral on derivative agreements.

 

Investing Activities

 

Our cash flows from investing activities include cash outflows for purchases of vehicle inventory, net of cash inflows for sales of vehicles within the Fleet Management Services segment as well as changes in the funding requirements of Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments for all of our business segments.  Cash flows related to the acquisition and sale of vehicles fluctuate significantly from period to period due to the timing of the underlying transactions.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash used in our investing activities was $321 million, which primarily consisted of $389 million in net cash outflows from the purchase and sale of vehicles, partially offset by a $60 million net decrease in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments primarily due to a reduction in restricted cash used in vehicle management asset-backed funding facilities due to the timing of customer collections.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash used in our investing activities was $308 million, which primarily consisted of $299 million in net cash outflows from the purchase and sale of vehicles, $27 million increase in Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments primarily related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements on vehicle securitizations, partially offset by $20 million in net cash inflows from the sale of an interest in our appraisal services business.

 

58



Table of Contents

 

Financing Activities

 

Our cash flows from financing activities include proceeds from and payments on borrowings under our vehicle management asset-backed debt, mortgage asset-backed debt and unsecured debt facilities.  The fluctuations in the amount of borrowings within each period are due to working capital needs and the funding requirements for assets supported by our secured and unsecured debt, including Net investment in fleet leases, Mortgage loans held for sale and Mortgage servicing rights.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash used in our financing activities was $661 million and related to $832 million of net payments on secured borrowings resulting from the decreased funding requirements for Mortgage loans held for sale described in Operating Activities, offset by $192 million of net proceeds on unsecured borrowings resulting from the issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017, net of the purchase of $51 million of the Convertible notes due 2012.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash used by our financing activities was $2.7 billion and related to net payments on borrowings resulting from the decreased funding requirements for Mortgage loans held for sale described in Operating Activities and Investing Activities above.

 

Debt

 

We utilize both secured and unsecured debt as key components of our financing strategy.  Our primary financing needs arise from our assets under management programs which are summarized in the table below:

Asset-backed debt is used primarily to support our investments in vehicle management and mortgage assets, and is secured by collateral which include certain Mortgage loans held for sale and Net investment in fleet leases, among other assets.  The outstanding balance under the asset-backed debt facilities varies daily based on our current funding needs for eligible collateral.  In addition, amounts undrawn and available under our revolving credit facility can also be utilized to supplement asset-backed facilities and provide for the funding of vehicles in U.S. and Canada as well as the funding of mortgage originations.

Vehicle Management Asset-Backed Debt

 

Vehicle management asset-backed debt primarily represents variable-rate debt issued by our wholly owned subsidiary, Chesapeake Funding LLC, to support the acquisition of vehicles used by our Fleet Management Services segment’s U.S. leasing operations and debt issued by Fleet Leasing Receivables Trust (“FLRT”), a special purpose trust, used to finance leases originated by our Canadian fleet operation.

Mortgage Asset-Backed Debt

 

Mortgage asset-backed debt primarily represents variable-rate mortgage repurchase facilities to support the origination of mortgage loans.  Mortgage repurchase facilities, also called warehouse lines of credit, are one component of our funding strategy, and they provide creditors a collateralized interest in specific mortgage loans that meet the eligibility requirements under the terms of the facility during the warehouse period.  The source of repayment of the facilities is typically from the sale or securitization of the underlying loans into the secondary mortgage market.  We utilize both committed and uncommitted warehouse facilities and we evaluate our needs under these facilities based on forecasted volume of mortgage loan closings and sales.

 

Our funding strategies for mortgage originations may also include the use of committed and uncommitted mortgage gestation facilities.  Gestation facilities effectively finance mortgage loans that are eligible for sale to an agency prior to the issuance of the related MBS.

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, may not reflect all of the risks associated with an investment in our debt securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.  See discussion of the impact of our senior unsecured long-term debt not being investment grade under “—Liquidity and Capital Plan” above.

 

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risk Related to Our Company—Our senior unsecured long-term debt ratings are below investment grade (and were subject to a downgrade in December 2011) and, as a result, we may be limited in our ability to obtain or renew financing on economically viable terms or at all.” in this Form 10-Q for more information.

Debt Covenants

 

Certain of our debt arrangements require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and contain affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, material adverse change, liquidity maintenance, restrictions on our indebtedness and the indebtedness of our material subsidiaries, mergers, liens, liquidations, sale and leaseback transactions, and restrictions on certain types of payments, including dividends and stock repurchases.

 

There were no significant amendments to the terms of our debt covenants during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our debt arrangements.

 

Under certain of our financing, servicing, hedging and related agreements and instruments, the lenders or trustees have the right to notify us if they believe we have breached a covenant under the operative documents and may declare an event of default. If one or more notices of default were to be given, we believe we would have various periods in which to cure certain of such events of default. If we do not cure the events of default or obtain necessary waivers within the required time periods, the maturity of some of our debt could be accelerated and our ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted. In addition, an event of default or acceleration under certain of our agreements and instruments would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our other agreements and instruments.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights.  In the first quarter of 2012, we integrated an updated prepayment model used in the valuation of our mortgage servicing rights, which we believe is more closely aligned with the actual prepayment speeds of our capitalized servicing portfolio.  Additionally, the new model utilizes a combination of standard default curves and current delinquency levels to project future delinquencies and foreclosures, whereas the previous model assumed current delinquency and foreclosure rates would remain constant over the life of the asset.  Based upon the results of our analysis of the modeled value and validation of our value and current assumptions against third-party sources, there was no change to the overall value of MSRs as a result of the prepayment model update.

 

See “Part II — Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our 2011 Form 10-K for further discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

For information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements and the expected impact on our financial statements, see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically long-term Treasury and mortgage interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments.  Additionally, our escrow earnings on our mortgage servicing rights and our net investment in variable-rate lease assets are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates such as LIBOR. We also are exposed to changes in short-term interest rates on certain variable rate borrowings including our mortgage asset-backed debt, vehicle management asset-backed debt and our unsecured revolving credit facility.  We anticipate that such interest rates will remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future.

 

Sensitivity Analysis

 

We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis.  The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates.

 

63



Table of Contents

 

We use a duration-based model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts on our debt portfolio, certain other interest-bearing liabilities and interest rate derivatives portfolios.  The primary assumption used in these models is that an increase or decrease in the benchmark interest rate produces a parallel shift in the yield curve across all maturities.

 

We utilize a probability weighted option-adjusted spread model to determine the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and the impact of parallel interest rate shifts on mortgage servicing rights.  The primary assumptions in this model are prepayment speeds, option-adjusted spread (discount rate) and weighted-average delinquency rates.  However, this analysis ignores the impact of interest rate changes on certain material variables, such as the benefit or detriment on the value of future loan originations, non-parallel shifts in the spread relationships between mortgage-backed securities, swaps and Treasury rates and changes in primary and secondary mortgage market spreads.  We rely on market sources in determining the impact of interest rate shifts for mortgage loans, interest rate lock commitments, forward delivery commitments on mortgage-backed securities or whole loans and option contracts.  In addition, for interest-rate lock commitments, the borrower’s propensity to close their mortgage loans under the commitment is used as a primary assumption.

 

Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including market volatility and the liquidity of the markets.  There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled.

 

We used March 31, 2012 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis.  The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves.  These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates as of March 31, 2012 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve:

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2012.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

This Item 1A should be read in conjunction with “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.Other than with respect to the risk factors discussed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K.

 

On April 27, 2012, we renewed our master agreement with Fannie Mae and entered into certain other amended agreements with Fannie Mae, including an amendment to our $1.0 billion committed early funding letter agreement.  Pursuant to the amendment to the committed early funding letter agreement, the termination event related to our credit ratings was removed.  Accordingly, the following risk factors are being updated to delete references to Fannie Mae’s ability to terminate our $1 billion committed early funding letter agreement due to the December 21, 2011, downgrade of our credit ratings by Standard & Poor’s:

 

Risks Related to Our Company

 

We are substantially dependent upon our secured and unsecured funding arrangements.  If any of our funding arrangements are terminated, not renewed or otherwise become unavailable to us, we may be unable to find replacement financing on economically viable terms, if at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

We are substantially dependent upon various sources of funding, including unsecured credit facilities and other unsecured debt, as well as secured funding arrangements, including asset-backed securities, mortgage warehouse facilities and other secured credit facilities to fund mortgage loans and vehicle acquisitions, a significant portion of which is short-term in nature.  Our access to both the secured and unsecured credit markets is subject to prevailing market conditions.  Renewal of our existing series of, or the issuance of new series of, vehicle lease asset-backed notes on terms acceptable to us or our ability to enter into alternative vehicle management asset-backed debt arrangements could be adversely affected in the event of: (i) the deterioration in the quality of the assets underlying the asset-backed debt arrangement; (ii) increased costs associated with accessing or our inability to access the asset-backed debt market; (iii) termination of our role as servicer of the underlying lease assets in the event that we default in the performance of our servicing obligations or we declare bankruptcy or become insolvent or (iv) our failure to maintain a sufficient level of eligible assets or credit enhancements, including collateral intended to provide for any differential between variable-rate lease revenues and the underlying variable-rate debt costs. In addition, our access to and our ability to renew our existing mortgage asset-backed debt could suffer in the event of: (i) the deterioration in the performance of the mortgage loans underlying the asset-backed debt arrangement; (ii) our failure to maintain sufficient levels of eligible assets or credit enhancements; (iii) increased costs associated with accessing or our inability to access the mortgage asset-backed debt market; (iv) our inability to access the secondary market for mortgage loans; (v) termination of our role as servicer of the underlying mortgage assets in the event that (a) we default in the performance of our servicing obligations or (b) we declare bankruptcy or become insolvent or (vi) a lowering of our credit ratings.

 

66



Table of Contents

 

Certain of our debt arrangements require us to comply with certain financial covenants and other affirmative and restrictive covenants, including requirements to post additional collateral or to fund assets that become ineligible under our secured funding arrangements.  An uncured default of one or more of these covenants would result in a cross-default between and amongst our various debt arrangements. Consequently, an uncured default under any of our debt arrangements that is not waived by our lenders and that results in an acceleration of amounts payable to our lenders or the termination of credit facilities would materially and adversely impact our liquidity, could force us to sell assets at below market prices to repay our indebtedness, and could force us to seek relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, all of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. See Note 7, “Debt and Borrowing Arrangements” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our debt arrangements and related financial covenants and other affirmative and restrictive covenants.

 

If any of our credit facilities are terminated, including as a result of our breach or a lowering of our credit ratings, or are not renewed or if conditions in the credit markets worsen dramatically and it is not possible or economical for us to complete the sale or securitization of our originated mortgage loans or vehicle leases, we may be unable to find replacement financing on commercially favorable terms, if at all, which could adversely impact our operations and prevent us from: (i) executing our business plan and related risk management strategies; (ii) originating new mortgage loans or vehicle leases; or (iii) fulfilling commitments made in the ordinary course of business. These factors could reduce revenues attributable to our business activities or require us to sell assets at below market prices, either of which would have a material adverse effect on our overall business and consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Our senior unsecured long-term debt ratings are below investment grade (and were subject to a downgrade in December 2011) and, as a result, we may be limited in our ability to obtain or renew financing on economically viable terms or at all.

 

Our senior unsecured long-term debt ratings are below investment grade.  As a result of our senior unsecured long-term debt credit ratings being below investment grade, our access to the public debt markets may be severely limited in comparison to the ability of investment grade issuers to access such markets. We may be required to rely on alternative financing, such as bank lines and private debt placements and pledge otherwise unencumbered assets. There can be no assurances that we would be able to find such alternative financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Furthermore, we may be unable to renew all of our existing bank credit commitments beyond the then-existing maturity dates. As a consequence, our cost of financing could rise significantly, thereby negatively impacting our ability to finance our mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights and net investment in fleet leases. Any of the foregoing would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

On December 21, 2011, S&P lowered our senior unsecured debt rating two notches to BB- with a negative outlook. S&P may lower our rating by another notch or more if we are unable to refinance the $420 million aggregate principal amount of our debt maturing in 2013 or are unable to put in place sources of liquidity to fund our business satisfactory to S&P. The December 21, 2011 S&P downgrade and any possible negative future action by S&P or any of the other ratings agencies will exacerbate the risks described above.

 

On January 10, 2012, Moody’s affirmed our senior unsecured debt rating and corporate family rating at Ba2 and our commercial paper rating at NP. Additionally, Moody’s changed its outlook for our senior unsecured debt and corporate family ratings to negative from stable. In addition, on January 10, 2012, Fitch announced that it has maintained our long-term issuer default rating and senior unsecured debt rating at BB+ and placed our long-term issuer default rating and senior unsecured debt rating on Rating Watch Negative.

 

Due to the December 21, 2011 S&P downgrade Fannie Mae has required, and other counterparties may require, an increased level of credit enhancements including but not limited to additional collateral posting requirements for derivative and debt agreements and a reduction in advance rates on mortgage warehouse asset-backed debt.  Further, we cannot assure you what, if any, impact the December 21, 2011 S&P downgrade or future ratings actions will have on our current or potential customers’ perception of our counterparty credit risk, and whether such action will result in any customer attrition or requests for changes in the terms of any existing or potential agreements.

Table of Contents

 

There can be no assurances that our credit rating by the primary ratings agencies reflects all of the risks of an investment in our debt securities. Our credit ratings are an assessment by the rating agency of our ability to pay our obligations. Any of our credit ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the applicable rating agency. Actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of our debt securities. Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to market conditions generally or other factors on the market value of, or trading market for, our debt securities.

 

We are highly dependent upon programs administered by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Changes in existing U.S. government-sponsored mortgage programs or servicing eligibility standards could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Our ability to generate revenues through mortgage loan sales to institutional investors in the form of mortgage-backed securities depends to a significant degree on programs administered by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and others that facilitate the issuance of mortgage-backed securities in the secondary market.  These entities play a powerful role in the residential mortgage industry, and we have significant business relationships with them. Our status as a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae approved seller/servicer is subject to compliance with each entity’s respective selling and servicing guidelines and failure to meet such guidelines could result in the unilateral termination of our status as an approved seller/servicer.

 

During 2011, 92% of our mortgage loan sales were sold to, or were sold pursuant to programs sponsored by, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. We also derive other material financial benefits from our relationships with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, including the assumption of credit risk by these entities on loans included in mortgage-backed securities in exchange for our payment of guarantee fees, the ability to avoid certain loan inventory finance costs through streamlined loan funding and sale procedures and the use of mortgage warehouse facilities with Fannie Mae pursuant to which, as of December 31, 2011, we had total capacity of $3.0 billion, made up of $1.0 billion of committed and $2.0 billion uncommitted capacity.

 

In addition, we service loans on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as loans that have been securitized pursuant to securitization programs sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae in connection with the issuance of agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and a majority of our mortgage servicing rights relate to these servicing activities.  These entities establish the base service fee to compensate us for servicing loans as well as the assessment of fines and penalties that may be imposed upon us for failing to meet servicing standards.

 

In January 2011, the Federal Housing Finance Agency directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to develop a joint initiative to consider alternatives for future mortgage servicing structures and compensation.  Under this proposal, the GSEs are considering potential structures in which the minimum service fee would be reduced or eliminated altogether.  This would provide mortgage bankers with the ability to either sell all or a portion of the retained servicing fee for cash up front, or retain an excess servicing fee.  While the proposal provides additional flexibility in managing liquidity and capital requirements, it is unclear how the various options might impact mortgage-backed security pricing and the related pricing of excess servicing fees.  The GSEs are also considering different pricing options for non-performing loans to better align servicer incentives with MBS investors and provide the loan guarantor the ability to transfer non-performing servicing.  The Federal Housing Finance Agency has indicated that any change in the servicing compensation structure would be prospective and the changes, if implemented, could have a significant impact on the entire mortgage industry and on the results of operations and cash flows of our mortgage business.

 

68



Table of Contents

 

In February 2011 the Obama administration issued a report to Congress, and in February 2012 the Federal Housing Finance Agency issued a report to Congress outlining the long-term strategic plan for, and various options for long-term reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  These options involve gradually reducing the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the mortgage market and ultimately winding down both institutions such that the private sector provides the majority of mortgage credit.  Such reforms may include, among other actions: (i) further reductions in conforming loan limits; (ii) increases in guarantee fees; (iii) standardization of servicing protocols; (iv) changes to servicer compensation; and (v) increased MBS disclosures.  In addition, it is possible that some of these reforms could be accelerated depending on the outcome of the 2012 U.S. Presidential and Congressional elections, among other things.  Any of these options are likely to result in higher mortgage rates in the future, which could have a negative impact on our Mortgage production business.  Additionally, it is unclear what impact these changes will have on the secondary mortgage markets, mortgage-backed securities pricing, and competition in the industry.

 

The potential changes to the government-sponsored mortgage programs, and related servicing compensation structures, could require us to fundamentally change our business model in order to effectively compete in the market.  Our inability to make the necessary changes to respond to these changing market conditions or loss of our approved seller/servicer status with any of these entities, would have a material adverse effect on our overall business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and could result in a lowering of our credit ratings.  Any discontinuation of, significant reduction of or material change in, the operation or underwriting standards of these entities would likely prevent us from originating and selling most, if not all, of our salable mortgage loan originations and could result in the discontinuation of or material decrease in the availability of our mortgage warehouse facilities with Fannie Mae.
